Beiping Prefecture
"Xu Miaojin, come out and receive the decree."
In the main courtyard of King Yan's residence, the Shadow Servant said indifferently,""His Majesty has instructed that Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of Xu Da, the King of Wuning in Zhongshan, is a virtuous and virtuous woman. The emperor's virtue is great, and the etiquette is perfect. Now I have specially sent an envoy to confer you the title of Concubine of the King of Liao, so as to serve the rule of the King of Liao and assist the vassal states.”
Opposite the Shadow Servant, Prince Yan Zhu Di, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, and Xu Miaojin were all stunned.
Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, her eyes seemingly saying," I thought you were joking when you said that you wanted your sister-in-law to marry the Liao Prince. Are you serious?
Zhu Di said innocently,"I didn't. Don't accuse a good person!"
Xu Miaojin's eyes were filled with confusion. Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
The Shadow Servant saw that the three of them were stunned and coughed."Xu Miaojin, why aren't you thanking me?"
Although Xu Miaojin was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth because of the emperor's order.""This subject receives the decree to thank you!"
"Yes, the golden book and seal have been temporarily stored in the King Yan's Residence. You can choose an auspicious day and go to the Liao King's Residence to complete the emperor's order.”After the Shadow Servant finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After the Shadow Servant left, Xu Miaojin said angrily,""Sister, brother-in-law, what does His Majesty mean by this?”
She only came to the north to visit her sister. She did not expect that the imperial edict would not allow her to go back.
King Liao?
She had never seen the Liao King before. Why was he getting married so muddle-headedly?
Zhu Di coughed lightly and said," Miao Jin, this might not be a bad thing. This Prince's Brother Zhi is not only good-looking and handsome, but he is also upright and determined…"
Before he could finish, Xu Miaojin interrupted him."But I don't want to get married!"
Xu Miaoyun frowned." Miaojin, this is not something you want to do. His Majesty has personally issued an order. Do you understand the importance of this matter?"”
" I…" Xu Miaojin was speechless.
Emperor Hongwu was not an easy person to talk to.
Reason with Zhu Yuanzhang?
Do you think you have a long life?
If she dared to disobey the divine order, Zhu Yuanzhang would dare to let her Duke of Wei's entire family suffer!
"Ai, Miao Jin, don't be too pessimistic.”Zhu Di comforted him,"Maybe you and my Brother Zhi will like green beans at first glance?"”
Xu Miaojin was silent for a while before saying,""Brother-in-law, if you don't know how to talk, don't talk next time.”
A tortoise looking at green beans? Was this a compliment?

Prince Liao's Mansion
"This time, we earned a total of 5,440,000 taels from Eternal Peace Manor. After throwing away the 900,000 taels we gave to King Yan's estate and the treasury of the capital, we still have 4,540,000 taels left.”
"Take out 240,000 taels of silver and build the Liaodong steel mill and the first batch of cannons. Ji Chuan, you will allocate this money.”
When Ji Chuan heard such a huge number, he was stunned."Wangye, there's no need for so much silver.”
The construction of the steel mill and cannons cost less than twenty thousand taels of silver. Even if all the equipment was of the highest quality, it would only cost less than forty thousand taels of silver. 240,000 taels? It couldn't be spent, it couldn't be spent at all!
"There's no need for so much silver?" Zhu Zhi glanced at him and said,"Why can't I finish spending it?" Didn't the steelworks collect ores for free? Didn't they need money to build cannons? Don't save money for this king and spend it to death!”
"We need to build the best steel mill and also the best cannons. If we really can't spend all the money, we can use it to purchase iron ore and other ores to make steel and artillery shells. If the Construction Division doesn't have any space to store artillery shells and steel, we can build warehouses. If we encounter land problems, we can just use silver to buy them.”
"If one storage unit is not enough, build ten storage units. If ten storage units are not enough, build thirty. If thirty is not enough, build fifty!”
Ji Chuan was speechless.
"This king will set up the Liaodong Trade Department. Guo Ming, you will be the trade envoy.”Zhu Zhi said to Guo Ming.
Guo Ming was stunned. He was the treasure of the Liao King's mansion, how did he become the trade envoy of the Liaodong Trade Department?
"Wangye, haven't we already sold out the glass? What's the point of trading?”Guo Ming was puzzled.
"Do you plan to use the money you earn from selling glasses for the rest of your life?”
Zhu Zhi said earnestly," In the future, we will still have many opportunities to trade with the outside world. Take glass for example. This year's glass has been sold out, but we will have to sell it next year." Furthermore, you plan to let Ji Chuan purchase the ores from the Construction Division? Shouldn't this matter still be left to the Trade and Commerce Department!”
"Our Liaodong's trade will not be limited to only the Eternal Peace Prefecture in the future, but the entire north, the entire Great Ming, and even the entire world!”
"What does the Trade Department do? The Trade Department was used to spend money and earn money!”
"How about this, this king will first give you three hundred thousand taels of silver. Within three months, you must spend it all for this king!”
"How long has it been since the Liao Mansion of Guangning was built? He still hadn't finished it! We just lack money and manpower. This time, we have money. If we don't have manpower, we'll throw money at them. I'll give you half a year to finish building the Liao Mansion in Guangning!”
"The trade routes outside Liaodong have to be opened. We have plenty of silver now.”
Guo Ming was speechless.
Then, Zhu Zhi looked at Guo Ying."Father-in-law…"
"Wangye, how many tens of thousands of taels of silver do you plan to let this minister spend?”Guo Ying instantly understood.
