"After more than a hundred boats have been overturned? Then... how much will it have to be paid!"

Zhu Lian was anxious!

Although the Jinling court is quite rich, it cannot be so profitable!

The money from the court was not blown by the strong wind, and the court collected a lot of money and spent a lot of money. It also had to start a new army, a navy, a building of Jinling City, Jiangdu City, and a war with the Jin thieves... There was also a Luoyang emperor and crown prince Zhao Kai who always came to ask for money.

So the Jinling court has not made too much surplus in the past two years. Last year, less than 5 million chunks of stake storage were saved... Now there are no one who has to pay for the Koreans?

"I didn't lose much, I only lost 2,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 50,000 stags of copper coins, 1,000 jin of Korean ginseng, and 5,000 pieces of various animal skins..."

"Wait!" Zhu Lian heard something was wrong and quickly interrupted Zhao Shu, "Why are there a thousand kilograms of Korean ginseng? The court can still take out some gold, silver, and copper coins. Where can I find these thousand kilograms of Korean ginseng? And isn't Korean ginseng rich in Korean ginseng?"

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood..." Zhao Shu's face turned red suddenly, he lowered his head, and hesitated and said hesitantly that he was not fluent.

He is an honest prince and has never been able to tell lies since he was a child. But now he has to say the black ones to the white ones... Otherwise, what should I say?

He said that he was a prince of Song, because he had a few cups of yellow soup from his subordinates, so he became a crazy man (he inherited from Zhao Ji, and he became a madman after drinking too much), so he made people (Zhao Buqiu) become a pirate in Goryeo, and he rushed into the Goryeo Haizhou Shanggang with ten warships in a daze and murdered, set fire and robbed... Before leaving, he extorted someone!

It is impossible to say that! How could the great country of etiquette do such a thing? And can the Song Dynasty go to the Goryeo Kingdom to get something to rob?

"Misunderstanding?" Zhu Lian saw Zhao Shu blushing and lowering his head through the curtain. He couldn't even speak, and he felt something was wrong. What's wrong with this brother-in-law? Why is it strange in ancient times?

"King Su, you...you have something to say!" Zhu Lian was also a little panicked. Although it cannot be said that he was a lonely man and a widowed woman living in the same room, there seemed to be no foreign ministers in the hall. Apart from her, the queen, there were only a few eunuchs and a few female officials.

"Sister-in-law," Zhao Shu said in a low voice that was almost inaudible, "We don't pay the gold, silver, Korean ginseng and animal skins to Goryeo, but Goryeo pays us."

"What did you say?"

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and opened his throat and said, "Sister-in-law, these gold, silver, Korean ginseng and animal skins were compensated by the King of Korea to our Song Dynasty!"

"I compensate our Song Dynasty?" Zhu Lian was even more panicked, "How many ships have we lost? How many people have died?"

"The ships are all there," Zhao Shu replied truthfully, "Five people died, they were killed when they captured Haizhou, Goryeo."

"Capt the Haizhou of Goryeo?" Zhu Lian was shocked again, "Why is there any more to capture the Haizhou of Goryeo? What are you doing? Didn't you go on a mission? Why did you capture someone's prefecture?"

Zhao Shu spread his hands and looked aggrieved, "Sister-in-law, we really can't blame us for this matter! Didn't we sank or knock over more than 100 warships from the Korean people on the sea? There were two or three thousand sailors on these ships, some of whom died, some of whom swam back to the shore, and hundreds of them were caught by us. Do we have to return these people to Goryeo? They all have wives, children and parents, so it's not appropriate to catch them back!"

"Yes!" Zhu Lian nodded, "What's the point of grabbing it?"

"So my brother ordered Zhao Buqiu to escort these prisoners on the shore..." Zhao Shu sighed and said, "But those Koreans were unhappy and even shot us with bows and arrows, shooting several of us sailors to death!"

Zhu Lian snorted softly and nodded: "These Koreans are too ungrateful!"

"Yes!" Zhao Shu nodded in agreement, "We had to move the cannon from the ship and set it out outside Haizhou City to launch the bomber..."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Lian saw that Zhao Shu stopped talking again, so he quickly asked.

Zhao Shu said: "We threw more than 200 bombs, and the Goryeo defenders in Haizhou City couldn't stand it anymore and had to surrender. So we captured Haizhou and captured the prefect of Haizhou."

"This prefect is ungrateful and needs to teach a lesson!" Zhu Lian was also a little angry.

"After teaching, after the lesson, I asked him to take the letter of state to Kaijing to see the King of Goryeo Wang Kai, and asked Wang Kai to quickly leave the gold and return to Song." Zhao Shu said, "I also asked the prefect to tell Wang Kai about avoiding the taboo and changing his name... Let him avoid the taboo of the crown prince."

"Then Wang Kai agreed?" Zhu Lian didn't know what he thought, but he didn't realize anything was wrong at all, and asked as Zhao Shu said.

"I didn't agree, and said I wanted to consider it, so I asked us to listen to the news next year." Zhao Shu said, "but I paid us 2,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 50,000 stags of copper coins, 1,000 jin of Korean ginseng, and 5,000 pieces of various animal skins... Sister-in-law, what should you do with these wealth?"

Zhu Lian thought for a while and said, "Should we give some to the soldiers? It is not easy for the soldiers to go to Goryeo. We can't let them go empty-handed, right?"

This Empress Zhu is really a bit brainless. What I thought of at this time was how to divide the spoils?

"The soldiers have another one, so there is no need to give it to you." Zhao Shu's voice was very soft, as if he was talking about something shameful.

In fact, this matter is indeed a bit unreasonable - the middle and lower-level officers of the navy that Zhao Shu took to Goryeo were not good people!

Most of the people who can take their fleets to travel far seas these days were recruited pirates, and many of the Wu Jinshi who worked in the navy came from the maritime merchants (pirates) families on the southeast coast. These people are much worse than the rustic army officers... The Haizhou commercial ports in Goryeo were robbed of them, not only robbing goods and money, but also robbing many merchant ships and official ships of Goryeo.

These ships and cargo have now been taken to Mingzhou by Zhao Buqiu for sale. After the sale is completed, they will be divided according to the size of the official position and the amount of credit. Of course, there is also one of Zhao Shu.

However, the wealth that the Goryeo Kingdom compensated the Song Dynasty cannot be used to share in private.

On the one hand, because the matter involves diplomacy between the two countries, as long as the Song Dynasty and Goryeo still have to interact, this matter will not be compromised.

On the other hand, the court and the royal family must also share the benefits, so that there will be a second, third, and even countless times of "ships and ships" diplomacy!

In addition, Zhao Shu and Zhao Buqiu also knew that their behavior was not very "correct" and needed someone to endorse. However, Zhao Huan, the official in Yangzhou, and Zhao Mingcheng, the left and right Privy Councillors, were not so easy to fool, so they came to Jinling to deceive Queen Zhu.

"Please hand over the copper coins to the Ministry of Revenue," Zhu Lian happily began to "dividend the spoils". "Gold and silver were put into the sealing warehouse. Ginseng... Go back and ask the Imperial Medicine Academy to pick some good ones, and leave the others to Taifu Temple for sale. The beast skin was asked to be picked by the people from Shaofu Supervisor to pick some, and the rest were also sold by Taifu Temple.

By the way, if these property were collected by the royal family and the imperial court, would it be necessary to give it back to the Goryeo people?"

The Song Dynasty always treated Gentiles who paid tribute to them with preferential treatment and paid attention to being thin and generous. This time, the "come" was not bad. If you want to be generous, you will lose money.

"Of course not needed," Zhao Shu said with a smile, "This is what the Goryeo people compensate us... This is not a reciprocity! I have never heard of any compensation for it since ancient times."

"That's right!" Zhu Lian laughed, "That's a lot of money! By the way, will you go next year?"

"We have to go!" Zhao Shu said, "We have to listen to the reply from the Goryeo people... and we have to go to more warships!"

"Go to more warships?" Zhu Lian was stunned, "Why?"

Zhao Shu said: "These Koreans are unreasonable. Let's go to more warships. When it comes to reasoning, they are also tough! And if they are unreasonable, they can start war immediately!"

Listen, is this necessary to be reasonable?

"The war begins right away?" Zhu Lian felt something was wrong again, "Isn't it suitable?"

"It's appropriate!" Zhao Shu said, "Gali cannot be neutral between the Song Dynasty and the Jin thieves... Galiland either attached to the Jin Dynasty or surrendered to the Song Dynasty! If he is unwilling to pretend, he must be the lackey of the Jin thief, and he is a thief. Of course, he should attack immediately!"

"So that's it..." Zhu Lian nodded, "That's to go to more warships."

Zhao Shu added: "It is best to get some more Luoyang gunpowder... It is best to use Luoyang gunpowder when you fire a hot pot. Sister-in-law, you have a great face. How about you writing a letter to your third brother for some?"

Zhu Lian nodded, "Okay, then give it a try."

......

"Master, we, are we really going to Goryeo?"

"Of course I have to go! The emperor asked me to go, who dares not go?"

"We still need to run a navy?"

"If you want to do it, you need to do it... How can you go to Goryeo if you don't do it? It's not our turn to take the land route!"

"But my brothers suffered heavy losses this time and didn't get anything..."

"Then you have to go to Goryeo! Go to Goryeo! You can't beat the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, can't beat the Goryeo?"

"Fight Goryeo?"

"King, aren't we going to help Goryeo?"

"Hmph, it's all the same thing!"

On the territory of Nanjing Road in Dajin, an army that was dejected and could tell at a glance that it had suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses was marching on the official road.

In the middle of this team, several generals were gathering in the shaking carriage, and were discussing the matter of sending troops to Goryeo and doing the navy.

Both are chores, but Wanyan Zonggou, who was determined to go to Goryeo to fight tigers, looked in a good mood, and he had a little bit of the intention of fish entering the sea and birds flying to the sky.

Of course, his good mood is not entirely because of the "tiger whip", but also because when he passed by Yanjing Prefecture, he visited Wanyan Xie, who was terminally ill... Xie is really about to fail, and Dajin will soon start a round of power struggle. Is there anything more pleasant than leaving the power center at this time and hiding from Goryeo to make a fortune and fighting tigers?
