Emperor Xuan's loss of composure immediately shocked Yan Beixi and others.

This is obviously very good news. Could it be that Fu Xiaoguan asked the barbarians to pay 30 million taels of silver as compensation?

With 30 million taels of silver, all the problems faced in recent years can be easily solved. The eyes of Dong Kangping, the Minister of Revenue, suddenly turned green. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's money and grain. It has been spending more than it earns in recent years, which has made him worry so much that his hair has turned white.

He stared at Emperor Xuan with wide eyes, and asked with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, how much?"

Emperor Xuan laughed heartily again. He was so happy that he lost his majestic image as an emperor. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess what you all are saying!"

Yan Beixi pondered for three breaths. His Majesty was a steady ruler. If he could make him so happy, the result must be good. So, he boldly said a number he had never considered before: "Forty million taels of silver?"

Emperor Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Master, guess what."

Yan Shidao thought that 40 million was obviously impossible. The annual tax revenue of the Yi Kingdom was less than 10 million taels, so how could it possibly lose four years of tax silver? So he said calmly, "I think it's 20 million taels."

"Keep guessing, make a bold guess, Haochu, tell me."

"I think... 50 million taels!" Is this a bold number? Yan Haochu felt that this number should be reasonable. After all, Fu Xiaoguan's son-in-law did not play by the rules.

"Kangping, guess again."

Dong Kangping was so excited at this moment. The first three guesses were obviously wrong, especially Yan Haochu's guess of 50 million taels. His Majesty was obviously not satisfied. My God, how much profit did that kid get from the Yi country?

He calmed down his excitement, stretched out his hands, thought for a moment, and bent two fingers, "Eighty million taels!"

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

Emperor Xuan laughed heartily again, and Yan Beixi's eyes almost popped out. "That's impossible. The Yi people are stupid, but not to this extent. I remember Fu Xiaoguan once saying that they wanted the Yi people to pay 80 million silver coins as compensation, but I think the bargaining will eventually settle on a figure of 20 to 30 million."

Emperor Xuan walked over and sat down, holding the two treaties in one hand and stroking his beard with the other. He looked at the four people in front of him, "Official Fu is truly a man sent by Heaven to save my Yu Dynasty! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! I was quite critical of his neglect of the Yi Kingdom envoys before, but now it seems I was wrong. The profound meaning of his action is reflected in these two heavy treaties in my hands!"

"Your Majesty, how much silver is it? Can you please stop keeping us in suspense?" Dong Kangping asked urgently.

Emperor Xuan's face once again showed a smile as beautiful as a summer flower. He leaned forward, trying to keep his voice steady. "Let me tell you, Mr. Fu, this kid has cost the Yi Kingdom a full 180 million taels of silver!"

"Do you know? It's one hundred million, eighty million taels of silver!"

"Hiss..." Yan Beixi and the other three gasped. Yan Beixi even scratched his ears and asked again in disbelief, "How much?"

"Hahahaha, take it and see for yourself!"

Yan Beixi took the treaty in his hand... "Dingwei Indemnity Treaty", the name was not bad, then he looked down... he suddenly jumped up like a child!

"Hahahahahahaha..." Yan Beixi looked crazy at this moment, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but dance with joy.

"It really is 180 million! This kid is truly the lucky star of the Yu Dynasty and a key figure in the nation's affairs!"

Dong Kangping and the other two had already been stunned when His Majesty said this number. Among them, Dong Kangping knew best what the 180 million taels of silver meant.

The total tax revenue of the Yu Dynasty, in the best years, would have been no more than 20 million taels of silver. One hundred and eighty million taels of silver meant at least ten years of tax revenue for the Yu Dynasty.

This is the net income, and the treasury of the Yu Dynasty is filled at this moment. From now on, no matter which department wants to spend money, there will be no shortage of money.

Spring plowing will be able to proceed smoothly, a large sum of money can be invested in the management of the Yellow River, pensions for soldiers killed on the front lines can be immediately and fully distributed, conscription can be completed in a very short time, and the weapons and armor needed by the Ministry of War can be forged as much as they want...

Even the palaces in the harem that His Majesty had been eager to renovate no longer presented any problems at this moment.

Just as he was imagining how easily he could spend the money, His Majesty spoke again:

"Compared to ceding territory, this indemnity is nothing."

When Yan Haochu heard this, he asked, "After paying so much in compensation, they also ceded the land?"

"I tell you, from this moment on, one-third of the land of Yi State belongs to me, Dayu!"

When these words came out, Yan Shidao and others were shocked again. One-third of the land, what kind of concept is this? This is equivalent to at least adding another Dao to the Yu Dynasty!

The Thirteen Principles of the Yu Dynasty, after half a day of negotiations, Fu Xiaoguan changed the Thirteen Principles of the Yu Dynasty into Fourteen!

This is an unprecedented achievement in expanding territory!

Yan Beixi also happened to see this place at this moment. He hurried to the map on the wall and stretched out his hand to gesture on it -

"Your Majesty, this kid is amazing! Wofengyuan, Wofengyuan, this is the largest granary in Yi Country, comparable to the south and north of our dynasty."

He paused, then turned to look at Emperor Xuan. "This place is a vast expanse of black soil, and the land is extremely fertile. Although the rice produced here only lasts for one season, it is sweet and delicious, and the yield is also very high."

"The rice yield per mu in the south and north of our dynasty is about 220 kilograms, but the fields in Wofengyuan can reach a yield of 260 to 300 kilograms per mu! This place is truly a vast expanse of fertile land, and now it has become the territory of our dynasty. This old minister suggests that a new Wofeng Road be established and an official be immediately dispatched to take over.

Of course, the Eastern Frontier Army's garrison must also be moved to Waqiao Pass in the Changling Mountains east of Wofengyuan. According to this treaty, everything west of the Changling Mountains is our Yu Dynasty territory, so Waqiao Pass must naturally be guarded by our Eastern Frontier Army."

Emperor Xuan also stood in front of the map at this moment, and looked along the Changling Mountains - the eastern border of the Yu State had advanced a thousand miles to the east!

Oh My God!

I never thought in my life that I would have this day!

What kind of feat was this? And that kid had accomplished it so effortlessly!

He suppressed his inner excitement and said calmly, "The Prime Minister of Yan's opinion is very much in line with my wishes. Tomorrow we will hold another grand court meeting and read out the Dingwei Indemnity Treaty to the public..."

As he said this, he suddenly thought of a question, "Tell me, this time, Fu Xiaoguan has made great contributions. How should I reward him?"

Yan Beixi was also stunned. Yes, Fu Xiaoguan was not even eighteen years old, but now he was already a third-rank official and the head of a department.

Not to mention that there has never been such a precedent in the past thousand years, there is no such precedent in the more than 230 years of history of the Yu Dynasty.

The next rank up is the second rank, the prime minister of a country!

What should I do if he becomes the prime minister?
