I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

While everyone here was sighing with emotion, the reception banquet over there had already begun.

Ming Yu sat at the top, and made a mistake during the banquet. Ming Yu learned a lesson, and whenever there is a toast, he just touches his lips and leaves. Even so, the smell of alcohol still caused Ming Yu's fair face to smudge a touch of red.

At this moment, the corner of his mouth was grinning, and he looked around at everyone before coughing and saying, "This time this king's trip to the capital, everyone wants to know, right?"

The originally noisy banquet calmed down after these words, which is indeed a problem that everyone cares about. Ming Yu didn't speak, and they didn't dare to ask questions. Now that Ming Yu took the initiative to mention it, they all pricked up their ears.

Ming Yu lowered his eyebrows, shook his head, and pretended to sigh deeply.

Everyone froze in their hearts, and followed up with their hearts.

Liu Zhifu stood up and said with relief: "My lord, there is no need to rush this matter. If it doesn't work this time, let's just wait."

They all know the current predicament of the court. Everyone knows that Ming Yu went to the court to ask the court for money to build the Xiqi Corridor, and they don't expect it to happen at all. Therefore, they have long been prepared in their hearts, and no matter what Ming Yu says, they can accept it.

Ming Yu lowered his head, buried his head between his hands, and kept shaking his shoulders. Seeing him like this, everyone panicked. They have never seen a prince like this before. How much grievance did the prince suffer in the capital?

General Wei was in a hurry and shouted loudly: "My lord, you have been wronged in the capital, tell the old minister, who dares not to have eyes, the old minister will come to him with his bare hands."

Xie Yixiu glanced at Ming Yu, shook his head, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Just when everyone was racking their brains to say something to comfort Ming Yu, Ming Yu laughed out loud.

What's happening here? Just when everyone was at a loss, Ming Yu finally stopped laughing, "Who in the capital dares to give this king a grievance?"

But, you just now? Feelings, you were not choking with grievances just now, but snickering? Your lord, aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning?

"Tell you, this time in Beijing to raise silver taels is very successful. The first batch has raised 7 million taels of silver, and now 2 million taels have been shipped back. It won't take long for the rest to be sent by caravans one after another. Silver taels come here." Ming Yu said with a smug breath.

Everyone was in an uproar, did they hear it right? Is it seven million taels instead of seven hundred taels? its not right! Where did the court get the money? The royal court owed the army below several hundred thousand taels in wages for several months, and they were repeatedly in arrears and failed to pay them off. Now they can give Ming Yu seven million taels. Who would believe it?

Liu Zhifu swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty: "My lord, this old minister heard right? You just said that you have raised seven or seven million taels? How is this possible? How could the imperial court take out so much money?"

Ming Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "It wasn't from the imperial court, but this king raised loans from the people. In the future, he will return the principal with interest."

Everyone has long been unable to keep up with Ming Yu's ideas, but to be honest, they have followed Ming Yu for a long time, and they have never figured out the king's ideas.

But they are used to it, and they have already had a way to deal with it. That is to listen to the prince to explain it carefully. Although it is a bit slower, it can always be understood in the end.

Sure enough, Ming Yu picked up on everything in the capital, and everyone finally understood.

Everyone was amazed and admired Ming Yu's unprecedented approach. Although they all know that Ming Yu's ideas have many unique novelties, many people who could not understand his approach at the time always found that Ming Yu usually solved things perfectly in the simplest and most direct way.

They all knew that the court couldn't get any money, and Ming Yu didn't have any hope for this trip, but Ming Yu brought them a big surprise.

Who would have thought that Ming Yu did not seek out the imperial court, but instead found a merchant who did business? In the Dayan Dynasty, a merchant was an identity that everyone despised. However, the prince was able to put down his body and go to them as a noble prince, persuade them, and make them willing to give money.

Although Ming Yu's words were an understatement, they couldn't imagine how much effort the lord had put in. These businessmen are very clear, if there is not enough interest to lure them, how can they send money to the door?

"My lord, those businessmen are very smart, how could they send money to the door for no reason, or so much money?" Wen Yuzhao asked directly.

"It's well known that businessmen seek profit. Since this is the case, then this king is enticing him with profit."

"Luring him with advantage?" Wen Yuzhao tilted his head and thought, not understanding what advantage the lord had. Liangzhou is poor and white, and it is impossible to have attractive interests. Besides, this is not a few taels or tens of taels, but tens or millions of taels of silver. How much interest does it take to make people tempted?

Ming Yu tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile, "What? Can't you think of it?"

Everyone frowned and thought hard, but in the end they still couldn't figure it out, so they had to give up and let Ming Yu solve the puzzle.

Ming Yu smiled proudly, "You guys, you only see the present, but you can't see the future. Take a long-term view. After the development of the future Xiqi Corridor, it will be a benefit!"
