Chapter 036 Eat well and drink well

"New Kingdom! Where is it?" Hong Tao's answer was beyond Yi Yi's expectations. During this period, the top leaders of the empire discussed this issue more than once, and all possibilities were taken into account. However, Hong Tao did not expect that another new kingdom that did not belong to Asia, Europe, or Africa. The amount of information about this answer was too large, which directly disrupted Yi Yi's negotiation rhythm.

"Hehe, I can't tell you that there are many places in the world that you don't know. If it weren't for coming back to save the Song Dynasty, I would have planned to retire in my kingdom. There are many acquaintances there, such as Swan, Qi Zu, Wen Xiaoqi, Merciful couple, and Governor Mai's family. They are all kings at present. Each of us has made a small kingdom to play as king. Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. I have no blessing to save such paradise. I was born to be a donkey. After pulling one mill, I have to pull another one, and eventually die next to the millstone." Hong Tao did not plan to tell the imperial government now, but it would not be possible to say anything. He could only talk about it simply by avoiding the important ones.

"That's it." Yi Yi was temporarily occupied by such a lot of information and had no time to think about other issues, so he had to look at Hong Jinhe.

"Why did you have to come back to stop the empire from attacking the Song Dynasty? Isn't it good to let the Song Dynasty cancel privileges like the empire and become part of the empire? Under the management of the empire, the people of the Song Dynasty will only live better. Isn't this what you have always advocated. The only losses were the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the officials of the court. I think you should not have any good feelings for them." Hong Jinhe immediately took the topic and began to question his father's actions from the motivation. If Hong Tao could not explain this question, it was that he was determined to go against the empire. This question was also something that many people always wanted to ask, why did this old emperor care so much about the Song Dynasty.

"Child, your father, my ancestors were Han people, and the Song Dynasty was the only country dominated by Han people. You may not know very well. Back then, my father, I took the Dan family overseas to establish the Jinhe Empire. The purpose was to change the Song Dynasty, get rid of this situation of oppression by other countries and become a powerful and prosperous country. So I strongly advocated that the Royal Navy go north to help the Song Dynasty defeat the Mongolian Empire, and never advocated the use of force to deal with the Song Dynasty, because that would go against me.

Original intention. In addition, what you said helped the Song Dynasty become rich and powerful, but I don’t doubt it, but the process was too bloody. You are taking the life of millions of Song people at the same time. I don’t agree to using this too rough method. Now I have a way to achieve the goal without bleeding too much. Why don’t you try it?” Regarding the Song Dynasty question, Hong Tao used to avoid it, but now he has not told the truth. It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he can’t say it, so he can only continue to edit it.

"Prime Minister, I'd better call you Your Majesty. I'm used to it. The empire was established by you and the rules of the empire were also formulated by you. You should know better than anyone else. It's not that Jinhe doesn't want to satisfy your wishes, nor that we have to go against you. As you just said, Jinhe is the emperor of the empire, and he and we have to consider the empire. If you can't convince the imperial government and parliament on this matter, even if all three of us agree, it will be useless." After Yi Yi and Hong Jinhe finished speaking, the Speaker raised another question, which is a good deal for these three people to engage in a wheel battle.

"Jinhe, Yi Yi, see, Speaker Wang is still very good at his level. He said it to the point. Who will get up early without any benefit? I ran so far, put my head on my belt and tried my best to change the Song Dynasty. Is it because I don't want any profit? That's nonsense. Realizing my ideal is the greatest benefit and gain. You are all familiar with me, and you should also know my style of doing things. I will not eat alone, as long as I do anything.

It is beneficial to achieving the goal, even if the other party is an enemy, I am willing to share the conditions. Specifically for the issue of the Song Dynasty, I am not only willing to share the interests with the Jinhe Empire, but also seek the Jinhe Empire. So please rest assured, and Jinhe and Prime Minister Yi can also rest assured that the empire has a lot of benefits on this issue. Although it is not as easy as the direct and enjoyable way to occupy the Song Dynasty in an all-round way, it is not a loss without a single soldier, right?

Not to mention three mouths, even if you get three more Zhang Hongtao, he is not afraid. He has a lot of exchange conditions in his hand, and it is very tempting to take it out casually. To be precise, the Jinhe Empire has a very heavy taste of businessmen. It is like a big company in itself. Everything that is beneficial to it is a good thing, and it is even more a good thing to be able to pay less and get more.

"Old Majesty, I wonder what other benefits can the empire have if it loses the Song Dynasty?" The Speaker was a cheerful person. He said everything that Hong Jinhe and Yi Yi were not easy to say from his mouth.

"Losing the Song Dynasty? Speaker Wang, I have to criticize you. As the highest commander of the Imperial Parliament, you have a little short-sighted vision! If this matter is done well, the Jinhe Empire has not lost the Song Dynasty, but has become the most important partner of the Song Dynasty, who never leaves it, do you want to listen to my ideas?" When talking to Hong Tao, it is easy to fall into his rhythm. It is not that his negotiation skills are strong, nor that his aura is great, but that he has too many achievements and ideas are too imaginative, which makes people have to follow him.

"Dad, can we be more serious? Don't fool us like children. Maybe we can't control this matter, so why are you not in a hurry at all?" Hong Tao's current situation looked familiar, and Yi Yi was not unfamiliar with Speaker Wang. When the old emperor's hair was still black, he used this state to nag in the parliament, government, and army, and told the truth about many things that people originally disagree with. The Imperial Parliament, government officials, and leaders of all ethnic groups all know a rule. Once Emperor Hong enters this state, he will be a little unable to stop it.

"Boy, how do you say this? When did your father talk about serious things? Before I finished speaking, you knew that I was going to fool you. Then, what do I want to fool you?" When my son was about to start the speech, he was interrupted. Hong Tao was very angry. This was too disrespectful to himself.

"Prime Minister, don't be anxious first. Your Majesty, after hearing the Prime Minister finish his words, I believe Premier Hong did not come here to tease us. Please, let's listen carefully." Seeing that the father and son were about to enter the fight mode again, Yi Yi, who had not said anything, finally opened his mind.

"The Jinhe Empire is a product, culture and technology export country. Many products need to be digested by the Song Dynasty, the largest market, and it is also a product consumption country. The empire's products are not rich. From food, drink and minerals, they need to be imported. The nearest product export place is also the Song Dynasty. If the empire entered the Song Dynasty as an invader and ruler, I believe that the final victory must be the Empire, but the Song Dynasty did not have any strength to fight back. If both sides want to fight, they will die, and they will have to form hatred. The culture of the empire is completely different from that of the Song Dynasty. Some coastal port cities may be more smooth after the empire's cultural invasion for so many years. However, in the mainland, the empire will encounter great resistance, and people who do not kill may be rolling in.

The problem cannot be solved. If this happens, the empire will inevitably spend a lot of effort in the territory of the Song Dynasty. It is not a short-term station. It must be prepared for a long time. These are all costs. If the empire puts its main energy on the Song Dynasty and does not receive a generous reward in a short period of time, then it will have to pay for it to build new military forces in overseas territories. This is another huge expense. I believe that the empire can afford this money, but I have a better way to get the same benefits without paying such a big price. I said, can we have a meal? Premier Wen and I set out from Lin'an in the morning and ran away for a day. We haven't eaten seriously yet. How about eating while eating?"

Hong Tao was very clear about how to grasp the rhythm of the conversation. He first proposed a plan to let these three high-ranking officials of the empire taste the taste. When they felt they wanted to eat, they would throw out the dry goods, which would be better. At the same time, they said that such dryness was not their own strengths. Eating, drinking, and chatting at the same time was more conducive to their rambling conversation. I heard that Jinhe had caught a lot of crabs for himself, which was fresh and tasted good. He had to try it.

Dinner came very quickly. The crabs were steamed in a pot and then steamed. It was easier to get to Hong Tao. You didn’t even need to dip the ingredients, just eat the original flavor. You didn’t need any tools to assist you. You had to have to have a mouth and a pair of crabs. You had eight pieces of crabs. And he only ate two crab claws and the meat in the crab shells, and didn’t eat them in other places because there was little meat in those places and it was troublesome and not in line with his habits.

"Child, you have to learn more from Prime Minister Yi and Speaker Wang. Look at them, although they are all a lot of problems, they can keep calm and not eat like you. But today I have to thank you. I am content with being able to eat a meal prepared by the child in this life. This is the truth. Don't blame your father and me. It's not that I don't care about you, but that my way of caring is different from others. You may understand, or you may not understand in the future. Okay, come on, son, let's have a drink, and then I will continue to say." Hong Tao couldn't eat a crab before he finished eating, because Hong Jinhe was sitting next to him, with a lawsuit on his face, and basically didn't eat much, and he just drank bite by bit. If this goes on, he would have to slip out and slip under the table without waiting for the crab to finish. No one can make things difficult for his son, and this son is still very good.

To be continued.
