"Well! I am not an unreasonable person! Since King Pingyuan admits his mistake and is willing to compensate, then everything is easy to talk about." Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. Xiao Wang will definitely compensate!" Gao Jianwu said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, how much will you accompany me? Is it based on head count? Or time?" Before he could be happy, Zou Yu poured cold water on him.

"The people in Goguryeo are small! We can't afford much food for a while..." Gao Jianwu broke into a cold sweat after listening to Zou Yu's words, and hurriedly said with his hands in hand.

Before he could finish speaking, Zou Yu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "So, you don't want to accompany me anymore! Are you teasing me!"

"Be bold!"

"court death!"

As soon as Zou Yu said this, Li Jing and others jumped up, stared at Gao Jianwu and shouted angrily.

"No...no...no...Xiao Wang has absolutely no such intention." Gao Jianwu stood up in a hurry and said.

"Then what do you mean?" Zou Yu raised his hand to stop everyone from getting angry, and looked at Gao Jianwu with cold eyes and asked.

Gao Jianwu felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. He had been prepared to die generously, but his heart suddenly disappeared. He said nervously: "Xiao Wang is willing to compensate! Please set an amount, Prime Minister."

"Then three million guan! From now on, one million guan every year." Zou Yu said calmly.

"What!" Gao Jianwu exclaimed.

"What? I don't want to!" Zou Yu's expression changed.

"It's not that I'm unwilling! I really can't afford that much," Gao Jianwu said bitterly.

"The majestic king of a country can't even get out three million swords! Are you looking for my happiness?" Zou Yu leaned forward and asked indifferently. He seemed to be ready to take action if he disagreed with you.

"Prime Minister, please calm down. Please listen to Xiao Wang's explanation. Since the seventh year of Daye, Goguryeo has been in war and has exhausted its national power. Now there is not even one hundred thousand coins in the national treasury." Gao Jianwu said shamefully.

"It's okay. I don't necessarily need money. Gold, silver, jewelry, food and cloth are all fine." Zou Yu said pretending to be generous.

As a prime minister, Zou Yu is probably the first to ask for money so directly. Generally speaking, these matters must be left to the people below for negotiation. Without several discussions, no results can be achieved.

Playing his cards so unconventionally, Gao Jianwu didn't know how to speak for a moment. He opened his mouth and stood there in a daze.

"Think about it, this king is so laborious and mobilizes so many people? It consumes more than one million dollars in money and food? What's more, so many people died in the war, they have to give an explanation to their families! And delay so many things? The recovery after the war, these are the three things you need

One million? Not much, right?" Zou Yu raised his palms and said with his fingers.

"Not much!" Gao Jianwu said dejectedly.

As a king in charge, he naturally knows what Zou Yu said. It really doesn't mean much, but Goguryeo is really poor! Has its own national power been completely exhausted? And lost a lot of land? The people, the tax revenue will be even lower.

"Your Majesty! Since Goguryeo is so poor, from the perspective of my subordinates, I don't need them to pay compensation and become a vassal. I just want to let it go? Wait until Silla Baekje swallows it, and then let Silla Baekje spit it out. In this way? Not only

You can get all the territory without any effort? Why not?" Li Jing suggested with his hands raised.

"Coward!" Being humiliated by others, was this Gao Jianwu's only thought? But Li Jing said what he was most afraid of. If the Central Plains did not recognize the status of Goguryeo as a vassal state? Silla and Baekje would definitely send troops? Even if not,

If the country is destroyed, it will take a severe bite.

"Prime Minister, you can't!" Gao Jianwu's expression changed drastically, he stood up quickly and said anxiously.

"Prime Minister, Xiao Wang is willing to compensate, but he won't be able to get the three million for a while. Please give him a month, and Xiao Wang will definitely raise it all!" Gao Jianwu continued.

"Yes! Since you surrender to me, I will not let you suffer any loss! I can sell some of the weapons to you, and at the same time allow you to use your youth to pay off your debts!" ​​Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction.

The purpose of selling weapons to him is to let him protect the territory and avoid being swallowed up by Silla Baekje; the purpose of Qingzhuang is simpler, just to provoke him to attack Silla Baekje.

Korean maids and new wives! The price of these two types of people has always been good in the Central Plains. The Three Kingdoms have always been sneaking in, but now there is just one more reason. This is why Gao Jianwu did not take the bait. After all, it is better to use people from other countries.

Use your own people, and the robbery itself can make up for the losses.

Being able to purchase weapons is definitely an unexpected surprise, and the shame of surrender seems to have been reduced a lot. The annual donation of one million guan can be squeezed out with gritted teeth. At most, it is more difficult in China, but there is no restriction from the aristocratic family.

, now the entire Goguryeo is still not in its own hands, even though its territory has been reduced by half.

As an ambitious young man, Gao Jianwu believes that this situation will help him to flourish.

After thinking about it, Gao Jianwu fully agreed to Zou Yu's conditions, and his only request was to sell him more weapons and armor.

Of course Zou Yu was very happy about this. Not to mention that there were still many soldiers who had not changed their uniforms, but they had captured a lot of them during the fight. Zou Yu definitely didn't like these things. Taking them back and recasting them would not be cheap.

, it might as well be more cost-effective to sell it.

The two sides agreed to use the Yalu River as the boundary and govern across the river. Knowing that they could not defeat Zou Yu, Gao Jianwu was very single and simply withdrew his troops to Pyongyang. It can be said that Jilin City now has no guards except a few hundred soldiers to maintain public order.

After Gao Jianwu signed the Yining Treaty, he immediately had all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace removed, and raised compensation worth three million guan. Then he followed Zou Yu's example and purged all the large and small families in the country.

A lot of food and money were produced.

The money was used to purchase weapons, recruit food, train soldiers, mobilize troops to Seoul, and prepare for war very actively. Silla and Baekje were immediately frightened back.

Han Qianxun was changed to the governor of the Domestic Road, guarding the country and the Dandong front line. As for the Mohe tribe, they no longer pose a threat, not to mention that Qu Tushou went to manage Fuyu City.

Yan Lide served as the governor of Fushun, supervised the two major mining areas, and was responsible for the construction of the entire Liaodong project.

Although the weather in the north of the Liaodong Peninsula is cold, there is an advantage: there are few droughts, and the land is fertile, making it a good place for food production.

Now, not only under the rule of Zou Yu, it should be said that the entire world is vast and sparsely populated. A single family farming the land does not produce much except to feed their own family. This is why Zou Yu has always emphasized centralized resettlement and collective work.

reason.

By concentrating limited human and material resources and maximizing their rational use, we can plant the most land and cultivate more precisely.

If it is a household, not many people can afford to raise cattle. Without cattle to plow the land, you can imagine how much land can be cultivated.

The people who were settled in a centralized manner were given cattle by the government, and several families raised them together. This was much easier. Moreover, with the improved plow, a horse could also pull the cultivated land. Controlling the Khitan and other tribes, for the horses and cattle,

There is really no shortage of Zou Yu!

With a large number of livestock as labor, large areas of land have been developed to produce medium and high grain. The land is like a large farm in later generations. It is neat and tidy. From a distance, it is just a field of wheat waves. It is really boundless.
