Finally, it was Yuan Dezhao, the old prime minister, who was worthy of being a smart person. He came up with a good way:

"The world will eventually return to the Central Plains, but if the Tang Kingdom is in front of us, we must surrender. Therefore, we can submit to the Tang Kingdom on the surface, but secretly continue to pay tribute to the Central Plains and tell the interests."

Then, Yuan Dezhao said confidently: "The Emperor of Song was able to seize the throne, so he must be a first-class smart person. He naturally understood our suffering. He could not relieve the thirst of the near, and we surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to survive."

"The foundation of our ancestors cannot be lost."

Then some smart people pointed out that these two million chunks of money cannot be easily agreed, which will easily prompt their greed to be more intense and they must continue to bargain.

People with long-term visions say even more bluntly that they would rather lose more cloth than lose money.

Because the world is in chaos, money circulation is unfavorable, and copper coins have always been scarce.

In the dozens of states in Wu and Yue, agriculture and commerce are so prosperous, but a large amount of copper coins are given to the Tang Dynasty every year. Once gold, silver and copper are gone to other countries, they will definitely not come back, which will lead to a shortage of money in the country and private business will definitely be blocked.

Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places will also be "highly expensive and cheap" and "causing money shortage", and people's lives will definitely be affected. There will definitely be thieves in the mountains and fields, and the mountain sheds gather together, and the landlords and local tyrants will definitely mint bad coins in private.

Not to mention the business depression, private money and private salt will become more rampant, which is tantamount to killing chickens and getting eggs.

He even took the former Southern Tang as an example.

It is said that the Southern Tang Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of chunks of money every year, and it also required three or two years of life to give gifts. The Southern Tang Dynasty did not produce copper, so the damage was even more than several times the money.

Therefore, merchants have no money and the people are short of money. The country is becoming increasingly depressed and was ambushed by small countries and destroyed.

But if the cloth is exported, the people of Tang will use Wu Yue's cloth to make clothes. When the people get used to it, merchants will definitely pay for it, which will promote business development.

I would rather lose more than add more money.

As soon as this said, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Wu and Yue countries were weaving cloth. Although there was not much cloth in the treasury, they could pay for it. The copper coins would rather be kept in the pot than go abroad.

Moreover, today, cloth and copper coins are equivalent to each other, so they won’t say anything.

The price of silk cloth has always been very stable in Wu and Yue Kingdom, two thousand coins per piece, but in the Central Plains, at least three thousand coins were needed, so the Tang Kingdom must have been willing to replace copper coins.

"Since that's the case, then just talk to them!"

Qian Chu has always been at ease in governing the country. The talents of his ministers are enough to govern a country, so he doesn't need to change anything.

"Here--" Everyone agreed.

Soon, the replacement of copper coins by fabric was reached, and the Wu Yue Kingdom also sent people to negotiate.

Zhou Kui also knew that he was a lion and said, what is the level of two million guan? The national tax in the Southern Tang Dynasty was only three to four million guan, which was discounted, and the real copper coins were less than one million.

Therefore, the amount can be discussed, and cloth instead of copper coins can also be discussed.

Since both parties are sincere, an agreement was reached in the morning.

Wu and Yue Kingdom regarded Tang as the sect leader and cut off ties with the Central Plains.

The Wu Yue State gave the Tang army 500,000 guan (discounted cloth, about 250,000 pieces) as a reward, and then paid 100,000 guan and 300,000 pieces of cloth to the Tang Dynasty every year.

The king of Wu and Yue married two daughters and the Emperor of Tang, and the 14-year-old Princess Pengcheng.

Ceding Fuzhou.

The Hangshan Island was stationed with the Hailong Army.

Then, in less than a day, the Wu Yue Kingdom collected all the cloth money and gave gifts to the city. Thousands of people carried out unloading, and took a day to work.

It can be said that Hangzhou City was bought back.

Zhou Kui could not tell the economic account. He was very happy to have millions of dollars in money. This time he sent troops, he could be considered a return to his capital.

This is a big victory.

However, he could have seen the wealth of Wu and Yue Kingdom.

In just one day, hundreds of thousands of pieces of cloth were collected, which was really eye-opening. Today, only Shu Kingdom can match it.

"This is a big fat piece of meat, and it's not strongly resistant."

Zhou Kui murmured to himself, his eyes lit up.

Like all invaders, the benefits are several times the cost, and greed will be more.

The wealth of Wu and Yue Kingdom was coveted by many people, but when the Southern Tang Dynasty was in the past, it was still balanced. Without the Southern Tang Dynasty, it could only become a fat pig in its mouth and slaughtered with one knife.

The heavy ships returned with a full load. After the Lord of Wu Yue and his ministers watched him leave Qiantang River, they couldn't help but sigh: Finally, they were sent away.

"The world has changed!" Qian Chu looked at the rolling Qiantang River and said in a deep voice. One daughter is not worth cherishing. The loss of the three states makes him sad. A huge creature around the country is even more terrifying.

The threat from the Tang Kingdom is no less than that of the Central Plains.

The country that our ancestors have built is about to be lost, so how can he chant Buddha's name and eat vegetarian food with peace of mind?

"It's changed!" Yuan Dezhao was a literati. He felt particularly uncomfortable when facing such humiliation, but reality had to make people surrender. Wu Yue's army was really weak.

"South of the Yangtze River, except for the Tang Kingdom, there is only our Wu Yue Kingdom, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous."

Everyone understands that the meaning of the existence of Wu Yue Kingdom is the balance between the Central Plains and the South. In addition, Wu Yue Kingdom is large in size, so it is difficult to eat, and it is supported by the Central Plains.

However, the Tang State relied on the power of the navy, but was not afraid of the Central Plains at all, and even dared to force it. Without the Central Plains, the Wu Yue State would naturally be in danger.

"Master, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Our troops must be trained vigorously." Yuan Dezhao said with regret.

"It must be like this." Qian Chu sighed. The strong sense of crisis made it difficult for him to admire Buddhism.

On the second day after seeing off the Tang army, Wu Cheng, as the envoy, also returned, with thousands of defeated generals, dust swelling and in a mess.

Obviously, Tang Jun's pursuit caused him a lot of hardships.

"I am sorry to the lord of the country, I am sorry to the court! I am so humiliated by the defeat of the army. Please punish me for the crimes of the country and punish me..."

Wu Cheng was so old that he knelt down and regretted in pain, crying with tears.

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, so that the minister does not need to do this!"

This is the case that Qian Chu can't punish him even more if he retreats.

Besides, Qian Chu was nostalgic and always treated such an old minister very favorably. Seeing his appearance, he felt quite unbearable.

"Tang State relies on its amazing weapons. Isn't it not strong in Jiangnan? It's not that the country has been destroyed, so the prime minister does not need this. The court is preparing to train troops and prepare horses, and is about to take action!"

The words of the king of the country made Wu Cheng feel much better in an instant. Although he was old, he was not very ambitious. He immediately looked up and said excitedly: "I have seen the power of the Tang army, and will definitely be able to train troops for the king of the country and wash away the shame."

Yuan Dezhao watched his performance silently, without any movement.
