Chapter 1382 Reciprocal Measures
"We don't have any demand for your country. We agreed to customs clearance and trade. To a greater extent, we wanted to use the road." Han Shitong also said at this time: "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. This is what your Majesty told you to use the road to go to the north."
Mobi is much more important than trading with your country."
Situ Lie almost uttered a curse word, what do you think of them?
"Military speaking, our DPRK may indeed be deficient in military strength and have an obvious numerical disadvantage. However, in terms of weapons and equipment, our DPRK has an advantage. This can be confirmed by the prisoners of your country captured by our DPRK."
"Our country's artillery cannot be resisted by your country's shield, so this peace talk is more of our country's kindness in not wanting the people on the border to lose their lives. Our country is not warlike, but it is not afraid of war."
After Xiao Lingyu tried to threaten them with horses, Liu Yuan felt a fire burning in her heart. She, who had always been kind to others, unconsciously took on the airs of the Queen Mother: "Sitting here now to negotiate with your court is just for the sake of the people of Li.
."
"If the words are not satisfactory, the two sides might as well consider whether peace talks are necessary." Liu Yuan looked a little impatient.
Han Shitong and others bowed their heads slightly. As expected of the Queen Mother, no one is more suitable to say these words than her. Do you really think that peace talks are necessary for Da Kun? Your Majesty does not want to go to war to avoid internal strife. If we really want to fight, both sides will not be able to get it.
benefit.
Several national gates in East Vietnam may be opened. They really thought they had the upper hand and dared to take advantage of the geographical advantage to take advantage of the big Kun. Damn it. It's not that they didn't dare to fight, but they stood on the side of serving the country and the people.
Basically I don't want to fight.
If we really have to fight hard, it will be a protracted battle, but who says Da Kun will lose?
The expressions of Xiao Lingyu, King Rui and others changed drastically at the same time. Liu Yuan's hands were shaking slightly and she was angry.
She suddenly stood up: "If we only allow a borrowed road, but block the way for Kun to import horses from the Northern Desert, then what's the point of this peace talk? We might as well break up now and just pretend that there is no such thing!"
Han Shitong and others also stood up, showing no regrets. King Rui on the other side stood up quickly and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Peace talks are just about mutual negotiation. If you are not satisfied, you can continue talking. It's not like this, it's not like this!"
Liu Yuan's footsteps paused, and her hands stopped shaking when she turned around. She thought of Qin Feng's explanation and sneered: "Although Da Kun has not been in power for a long time, he has always had his own way and his own bottom line. If he can't do it for
There is nothing to talk about when the people seek benefits."
Seeing that she was determined to go, King Rui hurriedly looked at the prince. It was the prince who had to decide on this matter. Although he was the prince, he only dealt with business and related to national affairs. Whether the discussion could continue was a major prerequisite.
"Madam, rest in peace." Xiao Lingyu finally stood up. He was shocked just now. He had underestimated their determination to trade with the Northern Desert. I am afraid that in their hearts, the significance of trading with the Northern Desert is equivalent to an armistice.
Naturally, Liu Yuan will not push the matter to an irreversible situation, but it is just that the appearance has been made, and now it is difficult to get off.
It was Rong Ying'an who stepped forward and patted the back of Liu Yuan's hand, and said in a low voice that could be heard by everyone: "Madam, please be patient. Your Majesty is right. We all have our own positions. If there are differences, we should discuss them."
"
Liu Yuan was also someone who could take things up and put them down. When he got down the steps, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Then, can we talk to the prince?"
Xiao Lingyu thought he had grasped the other party's shortcomings, but he underestimated their determination to make things happen. He felt a little depressed and gritted his teeth and said: "The prince and his wife are right, there are differences that can be resolved, and the peace talks are not this short-lived.
The time can be negotiated."
"Your Majesty, please sit down." Rong Ying'an took Liu Yuan's hand back and sat down again. She said with a smile: "This is exactly what the Queen Mother said. What do I lack? I lack a lot.
But there are some things that only the Northern Desert has."
"We traveled thousands of miles to do business with them. It took a lot of effort and the cost was high. The only thing we wanted was their good horses. We don't care about camels or anything else. Cattle and sheep are also second. But this horse is the only one we really can't bear to part with."
"So borrowing means returning to borrowing. Horses must not be restricted among the goods in this aisle, otherwise this borrowing will be meaningless to us." Rong Ying'an said: "If we set restrictions on horses, we can only
Reciprocal measures can be taken - restricting drugs."
As expected, the expression on the face of the person opposite changed drastically. The magic of antibiotics is well known. The medicine King Rui brought back last time also contained samples of other medicines. After tests at the Imperial Hospital, surprising conclusions were drawn. If medicines were restricted, there would be no trade.
It makes sense.
Xiao Lingyu was still preparing to acquire weapons. Just now he thought he had a good shot, but now he realized that he had broken his foot. He regretted it in his heart. After lowering his head to discuss with King Rui, he was about to speak when there was a call from outside. It turned out to be reinforcements.
.
Emperor Yuan was still worried and sent another envoy. When people from outside came in, Song Yuan was shocked. The person who came in was Song Qingming. There was another person he didn't recognize. King Rui called him the merchant in charge of maritime trade.
An official of the Shipping Department named Li Ang.
Maritime trade has a long history and is an important result of East Vietnam's trade with South Korea. The development of sea routes and the activity of maritime trade are important ways to fill East Vietnam's treasury. It seems that this is for tax rates.
After Fan Shitong exchanged glances with everyone, he straightened his back immediately. This was not the time to be timid.
King Rui was also surprised. Originally, the emperor didn't want to make a big fuss, probably because he didn't want the other party to think he cared too much, but then he sent two people over temporarily. Li Ang came, but Song Qingming, this was for Qin Feng
It's coming.
Could it be to save Shang Huaiqing?
When King Rui was astonished, the two of them had already taken their seats. Li Ang also brought a souvenir from Emperor Yuan. Xiao Lingyu handed it to King Rui after reading it. The two looked at each other and seemed to know something about it.
Song Qingming's heart was still beating wildly when he sat down. He had never traveled such an outrageous road before, and now he was sitting here with his heart still beating wildly.
He raised his head when he noticed the burning eyes on the other side. Liu Yuan and Feng Bao were naturally the most familiar people. These two familiar faces came into view. Song Qingming had mixed feelings, and so did the people opposite.
Both Liu Yuan and Feng Bao knew how Rou Ji escaped from Sui City, and they felt sorry for her mother and son being separated. They also felt sad that Song Qingming had to separate from his wife. According to this man's temperament, he would not marry another person. However, how could the emperor
By sending him here, do you think they will be lenient?
"What the Empress Dowager just said is absolutely true. In this case, anything can be done by borrowing the road. The tax rate is the same as that in Nanying, and horses will not be included in the list of prohibited goods. Let's continue the discussion?" Xiao Lingyu took a serious stance after reading the letter.
Change and no longer persist.
