Chapter 1382 Reciprocal Measures
"We have no need for your country. We agree to customs clearance and trade, and to a greater extent, we want to borrow the right path," Han Shitong also said at this time: "The Empress Dowager said very well. This is also what Your Majesty said. Using the right path to go to the northern desert is much more important than communicating with your country."
Situ Lie almost swears, what are you treating them as?
"From a military perspective, our dynasty may have insufficient military strength and obvious disadvantages in numbers, but our dynasty has the advantage in weapons and equipment. This can be confirmed by our dynasty's captives."
"The artillery of our dynasty is not something that the shield of our dynasty can withstand, so this peace talks are more than the kindness of our dynasty who do not want the people on the border to be devastated. Our dynasty is not wary, but is not afraid of war."
After Xiao Lingyu tried to threaten them with horses, Liu Yuan burned a fire in her heart. She, who had always been kind to others, unconsciously took out the empress dowager's airs: "Sitting here now to negotiate with the dynasty is just for the sake of the people."
"If you don't have any speculation, you might as well consider whether there is a need for peace talks." Liu Yuan looked a little impatient.
Han Shitong and others lowered their heads slightly, saying that they were the Empress Dowager. No one is more suitable to say this than her. Do you really think that Da Kun has to negotiate? Your Majesty does not want to fight to avoid internal friction. If you really want to fight, neither side will get any benefits.
Several countries in Dongyue may be opened. They really think they have the upper hand and dare to take advantage of their geographical advantages. They are really a ghost. They are not afraid to fight, but they are unwilling to fight on the basis of serving the country and the people.
If you really want to fight hard, it will be a protracted battle, but who said Da Kun will lose?
Xiao Lingyu, King Rui and others' faces changed drastically at the same time, and Liu Yuan's hands were shaking slightly, and he was so angry.
She suddenly stood up: "If you only allow the passage and block the road to import horses from the Northern Desert, what's the point of this peace talk? You might as well break up now and just think that this is not the case!"
Han Shitong and others also stood up, looking unhappy. King Rui on the opposite side hurriedly stood up and said, "Everyone is a little relieved. Isn't the peace talks just to negotiate with each other. If you are not satisfied, you can continue to talk, not like this, not like this!"
Liu Yuan's steps stopped, and when she turned around, her hands stopped shaking. When she thought of Qin Feng's explanation, she sneered: "Although the Da Kun has not been established for a long time, she has always had her own path and a bottom line. If she cannot seek benefits for the people, what can I talk about?"
Seeing that she was determined to leave, King Rui hurriedly looked at the prince. The prince had to make the decision on this matter. Although he was the prince, he only cared about commerce and trade, which was related to national affairs. It was a prerequisite for whether he could continue to talk about it.
"Madam, please feel free." Xiao Lingyu finally stood up. He was shocked just now. He underestimated their determination to trade with Beimo. I am afraid that in their hearts, the significance of trade with Beimo is equivalent to a ceasefire.
Naturally, Liu Yuan would not push things to an irreversible situation, but he was just showing off his appearance, and now he is still in a difficult situation.
Rong Yingan stepped forward and patted Liu Yuan's back of the hand, and whispered in a low voice but everyone could hear it, "Empress, don't be impatient, the prince is right, everyone has their own position, and if there are any differences and negotiations, they will be released."
Liu Yuan is also a person who can take it and let it go. He looked at Xiao Lingyu under the steps: "Then can I ask if the prince has any questions?"
Xiao Lingyu thought he had seized the other party's shortcomings, but underestimated their determination to accomplish things. He felt a little depressed and gritted his teeth and said, "The prince and his wife are right. Disagreements can be resolved, and peace talks cannot be negotiated in this short time."
"Please sit down, Empress." Rong Yingan took Liu Yuan's hand and sat down again. She smiled and said, "This matter is indeed as the Empress Dowager said. What is my court lacking? There are so many things, but some of them are only available in Beimo."
"It took a lot of effort to trade with them all the way, and the cost was high. The one who wanted to do was their good horse. We didn't care about camels, and cattle and sheep were the second. Only this horse was really reluctant to leave."
"So, if we borrow the road, we must not set horses as limits in the goods in this aisle, otherwise this borrowing road will have no meaning in our dynasty." Rong Ying'an said: "If we limit horses, we can only take equal measures - limit medicines."
The person on the other side really changed his expression. The magic of antibiotics is well known. The last time King Rui brought back there were samples of other drugs. After the Imperial Hospital trial, it also came to an astonishing conclusion. If the drug is limited, this trading is really meaningless.
Xiao Lingyu was still ready to acquire weapons. He thought he had just grasped it, but now he realized that he had smashed himself in the foot. He regretted it. After bowing his head and discussing with King Rui, he was about to speak when a message came from outside. It turned out that reinforcements were coming.
Emperor Yuan was still worried and sent an envoy again. When the people outside came in, Song Yuan was shocked. The person who came in was Song Qingming, and there was another person who did not recognize him. He was called King Rui, and he was an official in the Maritime Trade Department responsible for maritime trade, named Li Ang.
Maritime trade has been around for a long time and is also an important achievement of the trade between Dongyue and Nanying. The development of maritime routes and the activity of maritime commerce are important ways to fill the treasury of Dongyue. It seems that this is based on tax rates.
After exchanging eyes with everyone, Fan Shitong immediately straightened his back. Now it was time to be afraid.
King Rui was also surprised. Originally, the emperor did not want to make too much of a fanfare, and most likely he didn't want the other party to think that he was too concerned, but he still sent two people over here temporarily. It would be fine if Li Ang came, Song Qingming, this was for Qin Feng.
Could it be to save Shang Huaiqing?
When King Rui was shocked, the two of them had already taken their seats. Li Ang was carrying Emperor Yuan’s souvenir. After reading it, Xiao Lingyu handed it to King Rui. After looking at each other, they seemed to know what they knew.
Song Qingming's heartbeat was still beating when he took his seat. He had never been so outrageous. Now he is sitting here, his heart is still beating wildly.
He noticed a few burning eyes on the other side and looked up. Liu Yuan and Feng Bao were naturally the most familiar people. These two familiar faces came into view. Song Qingming was mixed with emotion, and the people on the other side were actually the same.
Liu Yuan and Feng Bao both knew how Rouji escaped from Sui City. They felt sorry for her separation between her mother and son, and they felt sorry for Song Qingming that he had to separate from his wife. With this man's temperament, he would not marry another person. However, why did the emperor send him here? Do you think they would be lenient?
"What the Empress Dowager said just now is that since this is the case, it can be done by using the way. The tax rate is the same as in Nanying, and horses will not be included in the list of banned goods. Let's continue to talk?" After reading the letter, Xiao Lingyu's position changed drastically and he no longer insisted.
