Chapter 198: How to Negotiate

Wang Ran didn't expect that the excuse he casually put forward was really right in the middle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that he didn't plan to tell where the grain was stored, lest he really cause trouble when he got it.

It's not that they're unreliable or untrustworthy, it's that the less people know about these things, the safer the food will be.

To be honest, if Meng Ge and the others really knew the rough point of the grain, I was afraid that they would be more worried than him, and maybe people would be able to guess where the grain was stored, which would be bad.

Oh no, that's because once the grain storage location is determined, those enemy thieves can quickly move the grain.

Or maybe they will have an extra layer of burden, but they will be afraid to do certain things.

No, it should be tied.

In order not to increase everyone's burden, Wang Ran did not plan to say where the grain was stored. Still, he mentioned something.

"The food is safe, but it's a bit tricky and a little troublesome to take. By the way, what I was just thinking about was whether we could come up with grain to negotiate terms with the Miao people. Wang Ran said.

In fact, this is a temporary method he came up with. Since the Miao people are short of food and clothing, they should consider using grain to negotiate conditions with them.

Besides, the Great Song Dynasty is fighting now, and no one will trouble them Miao people, they should be able to think carefully.

No matter what the conditions for their cooperation with the Yuan army were, as long as the benefits given by Zhao Jiajun exceeded what the Yuan army promised, then there would be no problem at all.

The Yuan people are not only particularly brave in fighting, but also very ambitious.

Over the years, they have been constantly harassing neighboring countries. In the area of Kievan Rus', they occupied a large area of land.

There were also Western Xia, Uighurs and other countries, which were also harassed by them.

If it weren't for the intrusion of the Yuan army, I am afraid that the Western Xia and the Uighurs would also have to break the border from time to time. In that case, the Great Song Dynasty will be really in danger.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty is not much better now, but it can still fight with the Yuan army to the death.

"The Miao people can't agree to our request. The court of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely repulsive and oppressive to the tribal villages of ethnic minorities such as the Miao people. It is precisely in order to get rid of the rule of our Great Song Dynasty that they will cooperate with the Yuan people now. Wang Yan shook his head firmly.

Meng Ji also said: "That's right, the Miao people will definitely not negotiate conditions with us." They are poisonous, as long as they cooperate with the Yuan army, our Great Song army will perish sooner or later. The Miao people should have taken a fancy to this and decided to cooperate with the Yuan army. ”

"The Yuan army is not good at marching and fighting in the mountains and forests, which is their biggest weakness. The Miao people should know this very well, so they fought with the Yuan army, their purpose is very clear, that is, to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Yuan army finally unloads the mill and kills the donkey, they still have those mountains and forests full of poisonous miasma. Zhao Lei stared at Meng Gedao.

The reason why he stared at Meng Ge was because Meng Ge had been frowning and thinking deeply after listening to Wang Ran's grain negotiations.

As for what came to mind, he didn't know. He only knew that Meng Ge's brows were more and more like twists.

Meng Ji was by his side, and he didn't notice Meng Ge's abnormality at all, does this mean that Meng Ji really didn't care about Meng Ge differently?

If that's the case, then a few of them will be much more relieved.

In these years, although the fetish of Longyang is not a secret, it is not a big deal. But when it comes to it, everyone can't accept it.

Especially a good boy like Meng Ji. He was really broken by Meng Ge, and that life should be ruined.

Meng Ge didn't know that Zhao Lei and Wang Ran had already included her in the special population.

She was just thinking about the possibility of negotiations. The Miao people, a mysterious and powerful nation, are actually the best weapon for their own use.

Otherwise, it can only be poison, a poison that cannot be prevented.

It's just that it's too difficult to convince the Miao people and give them the conditions they want.

If the Miao people did this in order to get rid of the Great Song Dynasty and then occupy the mountain as the king, then all the negotiations could not take place.

Of course, if the Miao people want to monopolize the mountain, in order to become the owners of certain mineral deposits, maybe there will be 11 percent hope for negotiations.

negotiated the conditions with the Miao people, but on the premise of giving up the country, I was afraid that the general would definitely not agree.

It would be nice to be able to negotiate a compromise with the Miao people. As long as the Miao people are willing to withdraw, then the Zhao family army will be able to deal with the Yuan army much easier.

In fact, since ancient times, what the Miao people want is equal treatment and respect.

There have been so many dynastic changes, and many dynasties have oppressed those ethnic minorities. In their minds, they think that these barbaric tribes of ethnic minorities are simply savages, completely uneducated, dangerous, and ignorant.

In order to restrain these barbarians, those dynasties invariably increased taxes on those peoples, and never gave them corresponding preferential treatment.

When the Han people were granted amnesty, those ethnic minorities were not able to get any light.

As long as something happens around ethnic minorities, most of the people in the court will target the suspicion on the ethnic minorities.

Over time, those minorities will be dissatisfied, very dissatisfied.

It is normal that they will turn against each other and deal with their own regime with foreign enemies.

When they thought of this, Wang Ran and the others had been discussing for a long time, but they still hadn't come to a conclusion. Meng Ge looked at the people who were all worried and said what he thought.

As soon as Wang Chengshuai heard that it made sense, he asked Meng Ge how to negotiate.

"For example, if there is a mine in the territory of the Miao people, then the imperial court will give them enough rewards when they are mining. Give them some privileges, exempt them from the excessive taxes on them, and collect taxes normally, and they should be able to accept it. "Mongo makes an analogy.

Wang Chengshuai asked again: "What aspect of privilege do you mean?"

Meng Ge shook his head and said, "This is the matter of the imperial court." Although the Miao people are a different people from the Han people, they are not complete savages and uneducated. They have their own cultural heritage, as well as their traditional crafts, which are no worse than the Han people. As long as they are given enough respect and allowed to enjoy the same rights as the Han people to engage in business and scientific research, then they will naturally be willing to accept it. ”

Ethnic minorities are restricted from doing business by the government, and they are not allowed to participate in any commercial activities at all, except for setting up stalls on the streets.

Except, of course, for the necessities of life.

As for the imperial examinations. The children of ethnic minorities are not accepted and recognized by private schools in various places, and the imperial court also clearly stipulates that ethnic minorities have restrictions on scientific examinations. Therefore, the people who can participate in the scientific examination are generally Han Chinese.

The children of those ethnic minorities who have changed their identities and studied are still not able to take scientific examinations in the end, and the people of these ethnic minorities have very opinions.

If the threshold for scientific research is lifted, I am afraid that ethnic minorities will not be so excluded and hated by the imperial court
