Wei Linhan's letter was finally delivered to the capital. When Zhu Yijun and the ministers were only angry when they saw the content in front of the letter.

"Damn it, hateful, how dare the thief refuse the emperor's gift?"

Zhu Yijun was very angry, but after the anger, Zhu Yijun was helpless. No one wanted the prince of the Ming Dynasty. There was no way. Now the thief is powerful.

The anger was temporarily suppressed. After learning the contents of Wei Linhan’s letter, Zhu Yijun and the ministers’ anger rose again.

The Ming court could not agree to the ceding of Guizhou and Huguang Changjiang North area and compensate 10 million taels of silver.

"Your families, what should we do?" Zhu Yijun looked at the ministers with anger.

"The emperor, you cannot give Guizhou and Huguang the northern part of the Yangtze River to the thieves, especially the northern part of the Yangtze River. Once the thieves cross the Yangtze River, there is no possibility of resisting the thieves south of the Yellow River."

"The thieves never thought of truce with the Ming Dynasty. The enemy could not be stopped south of the Yangtze River. The emperor asked to issue an order to mobilize troops to defend the north bank of the Yangtze River. With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the thieves would definitely be able to block the thieves."

In the court, the important officials of the Ming Dynasty spoke out their ideas one after another. Some suggested giving up the southern part of the Yangtze River, some continued to find ways to negotiate peace with the People's Army, and some suggested sending people to assassinate the leader of the thief.

Zhu Yijun also wanted to send someone to assassinate the leader of the thief. Once the leader of the thief died, the People's Army would fall into civil unrest. The Ming Dynasty won over one or two and could soon wipe out the People's Army.

But it is too difficult to assassinate the leader of the thief. It is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to send people to sneak into the People's Army ruling area. There are only a handful of people who can sneak into Guangzhou City. It is impossible for those people to assassinate the leader of the thief who has many guards to protect.

Zhu Yijun in the southern part of the Yangtze River was unwilling to give up. How could the Ming Dynasty throw it to the People's Army in the south of the Yangtze River, Yunnan, Guizhou, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili so many places?

What Zhu Yijun wanted most was to negotiate peace with the People's Army, and to give the Ming Dynasty a few years. Relying on the guards established by gentry and merchants, it could gather millions of people and even if it could not defeat the People's Army, it could still block the People's Army.

"You can't give the thief a share of land, and you can't get ten million taels of silver. Do you have other strategies to get the thief to agree to a ceasefire?"

Zhu Yijun said one sentence. The ministers in the court immediately understood the emperor's idea and wanted to negotiate peace, but could not give the thief land, nor could they give out ten million taels of silver. The ministers were also unwilling to use land and ten million taels of silver to exchange for a ceasefire with the People's Army.

For a moment, the court became quiet and many ministers fell into thinking.

He was unwilling to cede the land and had not much money, so the only things that the Ming Dynasty could take out were probably people.

people!

Another minister thought of a suggestion he had made before.

"Your Majesty, you can marry a princess of the royal family to the leader of the thief."

As soon as he said this, a minister immediately retorted: "It's not appropriate, and the thief doesn't want to be crowned kings. How could he agree to a ceasefire because of this (the princess married down).

"How do you know that the thief will refuse? Who among the men in the world doesn't want the princess to marry?"

In the court, a group of ministers had a fierce debate over whether the People's Army accepted or refused to "marry the princess", but no minister opposed "marrying the princess". If "marrying the princess" could be exchanged for temporary peace, the ministers would be willing.

Listening to the ministers' arguments, Zhu Yijun was angry on the dragon throne but could not speak out. At this time, even Zhu Yijun thought that if he could use "princess to marry" for temporary peace, he would accept it.

After a while, Zhu Yijun waved his hand, let the ministers stop arguing, and said, "You can try it."

You can try to use "princess marriage" to exchange for the People's Army's ceasefire, but it is a problem to let which princess marry. Zhu Yijun is only 26 years old this year, and the oldest of his daughter is under ten years old. How can he not marry a young girl?

Soon a minister thought of a suitable candidate, who was also a princess, but he was the eldest princess. The eldest princess was the daughter of Emperor Longqing of the previous generation and was a sister or brother-sister relationship with Zhu Yijun.

Emperor Longqing has four sons and seven daughters. Zhu Yaojiang, the youngest princess of Qixia, is seventeen years old this year. When he is in the boudoir, he is just right to marry the leader of the thief. It’s a pity that Zhu Yaojiang is beautiful, but he wants to marry the leader of the thief.

Zhu Yijun also thought that Zhu Yaojiang was the only one in the royal family who could marry the leader of the thief. Compared to his daughter, Zhu Yijun was not very close to this sister. Zhu Yijun could accept her more in his heart.

However, there is no need to worry about determining the candidate. If the thief does not accept it and he chooses the person, then what kind of person can live in the future after he decides.

After the court meeting ended, another secret decree was sent from the capital and sent to Wei Linhan, Jiande County.

The secret decree said that Wei Linhan was ordered to find a way to get the People's Army to exchange for other ceasefire requirements. The Ming Dynasty would not cede the land and would not have so much money. The condition of "marrying the princess" was also taken out.

Zhu Yijun's secret order is still on the way. On the other hand, many merchants who have obtained quotas for cement business in Guangdong Province, the People's Army-ruled region, began to take action.

This cement business is the same as the last time. Merchants who had enough funds were convened as a city to hold a meeting. At the meeting, some requirements for the cement business were expressed, such as the profits of cement from the cement factory to the People's Army should not be allowed to exceed 10%.

The People's Army's various requests persuaded a group of merchants to withdraw, but a large number of merchants still decided to participate in the cement business, especially the merchants who had the first cement business, and none of them were left behind.

After determining the quota, the next step is to divide the areas and determine the location of the cement factory construction of the merchants. The People's Army cannot allow multiple cement factories to be built in a county area, and there is no cement factory in other remote areas, which affects the power of the People's Army to use the merchants.

Prepare merchants with a lot of funds to choose their location first, prepare merchants with a lot of funds to choose their locations. After each location is determined, the merchants start to take action, select their confidants and even take their people to the previously selected cement factory establishment location. After arriving at the selection area, select the specific cement factory establishment location with the help of the People's Military Government.

If the cement factory will occupy the land of the people, the merchants need to give some compensation or allow the occupied land to enter the cement factory to work.

It will take some time to complete the entire process by hiring personnel, establishing cement plants, and producing cement. The People's Army is not in a hurry. If you need cement in urgent need, you can transport it from a cement factory in Guangdong. The cement produced by cement factories in Guangdong can meet the needs of the Guangdong region, and you can even take out part of it to "outsiders".
