As soon as Qin Shuang and Ah Chen and his party entered the palace, the emperor and queen, who had already received the news, had been waiting for a long time.

When Tuan Tuan saw the emperor and queen, he immediately shouted loudly: "Imperial grandfather, imperial grandmother!" ”

"Oh, my precious little grandson, I miss the imperial grandmother." The queen mother opened her arms with joy and caught Xiao Yuanyuan, who rushed into her arms like a small cannonball.

Tuan Tuan was also held in the emperor's arms for a while, "Did Tuan Tuan miss the emperor's grandfather?" ”

"Thought." Tuan Tuan nodded obediently.

"Are you tired on the road?"

Tuan Tuan shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, it's very comfortable in the carriage." ”

The emperor deliberately looked at the faces of the two children, and they didn't seem to be tired at all, so he nodded with satisfaction: "It's good not to be tired." ”

The emperor and queen talked to the two children for a while, and after talking about the feelings of missing their grandchildren, they turned their attention to their sons and daughters-in-law.

The emperor looked at them teasingly, and the first thing he asked was: "I heard that you have encountered a little trouble at the city gate?" ”

"It's not a problem, it's just a clown." Ah Chen pulled Qin Shuang to sit down, and took out two plates of fresh fruits from his backpack.

The emperor and queen had long known that her emperor had Qin Shuang's help to have such a special ability, and she was not surprised to see this, these two plates of fruits were not seasonal fruits, or there was only a small stock in the palace, and they were always not happy, and the queen did not politely take one with her son to eat, and said while eating: "It's so fresh, how many of these fruits do you have?" Wait a little bit and send some to Tianchong and them too? ”

"We brought a lot of them, and they were meant to be for you."

"A lot?" The emperor's focus is a little different from the queen's, "Is it enough to entertain those envoys?" ”

Ah Chen had long expected that his father would ask such a question, so he raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked: "These fruits are difficult to get in the capital this season, how much is my father going to pay to buy them with us?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "Still talk about money with your father?" Are you falling into the eye of money? Are you two still short of money? ”

Although he didn't know exactly how much property they had, what he knew on the surface was estimated to be more than the treasury and his own private treasury.

Ah Chen shrugged his shoulders, hooked his lips and said, "Isn't there a saying that if these fruits are sold to dignitaries in the capital, they must be worth at least a few hundred taels, right?" ”

The queen, who was talking to the baby grandson, also raised her head and said funny: "Your father is really right, you are really out of money." ”

Ah Chen snorted and said, "If it is for the father, the queen mother, and the royal brother and sister-in-law, it is naturally no problem, but to those envoys who obviously want to take advantage of us?" What a waste. ”

The emperor and the queen both looked helplessly at this emperor, who was not young next year but was still so reckless.

I hadn't seen him like this when I was a kid before, but was it really the years outside that made his personality change so much?

"That being said, the more good things we can come up with, the more we can deter these envoys and let them know the strength of our Xuantian Kingdom, do you want the people of the other four great powers to look down on us?"

"Look down on us?" Ah Chen smiled coldly, "Father, are you joking?" If the envoy of that country was not afraid of our tyranny, how could he send an envoy to him? It's just because I'm not sure what Cheng Dù our Xuantian Kingdom has grabbed, and I want to come and find out, by the way...... It's just a matter of getting some more benefits. ”

The emperor sighed earnestly: "Even if it's a fact, don't say it so clearly, you have to know how to be humble, understand." ”

Ah Chen snorted noncommittally.

The emperor turned his head to look at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang smiled, and said: "Don't worry, we have prepared a lot of fruits, not only the quantity, but also the type, we have all varieties of fruits throughout the year, which will definitely surprise those envoys from other countries." ”

Only then did the emperor show a satisfied smile, and sure enough, it was his daughter-in-law who liked him the most!

After a few idle sentences, he finally got to the point, and Qin Shuang asked first: "Have the envoys of those countries arrived?" ”

The emperor also looked a lot more serious, and said: "The people from the four major countries have arrived as early as yesterday, and the people from the other twenty-two small countries have also come seventeen, no, if you count Langya, it is eighteen, and the remaining four should arrive tomorrow at the latest." ”

Today is already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the palace banquet will be held on the evening of the thirtieth day, in order not to miss any important scenes, the people who should come tomorrow will definitely arrive.

"You also know why these people are here, what are you going to do, why don't you talk to my father, and let me give Mrs. Wen a breath to them first, and make some preparations in advance."

"It's simple." Ah Chen squinted his eyes, his fingers gently scraped the back of Qin Shuang's hand held in the palm of his hand, and said: "I have the same opinion as Shuangshuang, if these messengers can give enough benefits, fertilizer can provide them with some, as for pistols and bombs, don't even think about it." ”

The emperor nodded and said: "When I discussed with several ministers of the DPRK and China before, I also had this idea, weapons cannot be given casually, once they are given, they will inevitably cause a lot of wars in the future." Fertilizer, as long as you can provide it, it doesn't hurt to give them some, these large and small countries also have a lot of precious specialties that are scarce in our Xuantian Kingdom, and it will also be of great help to us in exchange. ”

"Fertilizer doesn't have to be worried." Qin Shuang said with certainty: "No matter how much fertilizer there is, I can supply it at any time, it depends on whether these people with our ideas are willing to bleed, after all, fertilizer is rare compared to any precious item, and only me and Ah Chen can take it out in the whole world, if there is no psychological preparation for heavy bleeding, although this thing can be taken out from time to time, it may not be available to all countries, whoever has more sincerity can get more, it has nothing to do with him."

will be able to get more, regardless of whether their country is big or small. ”

The bigger the country, the more difficult it is in some aspects, but the smaller countries will face more severe tests than the big ones, if there is something to change the status quo of their country and improve the living standards of the people, they may be willing to pay the unimaginable price of the big countries, correspondingly, she and Ah Chen of course have more benefits to be gained.

The emperor did not have any objections to her opinion, and in fact, the results of his discussions with other ministers coincided with Qin Shuang's thoughts.

The Xuantian Kingdom is not lacking in anything at present, that is, it does not trade with these countries, and if it develops steadily, it can be much ahead of the four major powers in a few years, and the transaction is just the icing on the cake for them, and the attraction is not very great.

"These big countries have sent people over together so tacitly, and they still put pressure on the Xuantian Kingdom together to avoid the possibility of our lion opening his mouth." Qin Shuang said suddenly.

The emperor sneered and said, "The ministers of the DPRK and China have also thought of this, but even if they want to put pressure on us?" Unless we are completely sure, there is a bloody lesson in front of us, and the people of the four great powers will definitely not show any malice to our Xuantian Kingdom lightly. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes were dyed with a slight smug smile, "The three mountains that were razed to the ground by the red blood gave the four great powers quite a shock, and the people who stayed in the red blood have not found some suspicious people in the vicinity this year, and it is obvious that they are the spies of various countries to investigate the situation, these people saw the huge crater left behind after you blew up the mountain, and then brought the news back to their emperor, heh, how shocked and even frightened those emperors would be, you can imagine." ”

"Before we find out how many weapons we still have in our hands that can make such lethality, no matter how bold they are, they dare not cause our dissatisfaction."

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen also nodded in agreement.

"So, they may indeed come up with something that can make us happy, but in order to suffer as little loss as possible, they still won't give up the possibility of fighting for a little more profit."

"The price of fertilizer in the country, people in those small countries may not know, but the people of the four major countries should have a lot of spies in the country, and through the grain shipped to Ruyizhuang every time, they should be able to guess that the best is not far from ten."

Ah Chen hooked his lips and smiled disappreciatively: "What if you guess?" The reason why our fertilizer is almost half sold and half given away is because we are all a family, as long as we don't lose money, it doesn't matter, but do people in other countries still expect to take advantage of this big advantage? It's too whimsical. ”

"Have you ever thought of asking them for something? Have a specific idea? It's impossible to copy the price that was once raised with Red Blood, right? ”

The price of red blood? Qin Shuang and Ah Chen were stunned at the same time, and it took a moment to think of which time the emperor was referring to.

Ah Chen showed an interesting expression and said, "Father didn't say that I almost forgot, I think about it, what was the price of that frost?" It seems to be, a pound of fertilizer, a hundred taels, gold? ”

In line with the rule of the harem not to participate in politics, she only listened, and the queen, who did not express any opinions, couldn't help but turn her head when she heard this, and looked at Ah Chen, who was eager to try, in amazement.

When the Red Blood sent an envoy to negotiate during the battle in Licheng last year, the emperor did not specifically mention it to the queen, so it was the first time that the queen heard that they had actually offered such an outrageous price to the red blood! It's too modest to say that it's sky-high!

A pound of fertilizer is a hundred taels of gold!? Even if the queen doesn't participate in political affairs casually, she still knows how much fertilizer is added to Ruyizhuang, and the grain required for a bag of ten catties of fertilizer is converted into silver, not even one or two.

Saying that he wants a hundred taels of silver can be called a lion's big mouth, but he still has a hundred taels of gold? Is this a money grab!?

The emperor couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you really put such a price on them, those envoys will have to vomit blood." ”

Even the people of the four major countries may have the idea of getting some fertilizer like red blood and researching it themselves, so they have to buy a hundred catties, right? One hundred catties of fertilizer is 10,000 taels of gold, if nothing can be studied in the end, wouldn't it mean that 10,000 taels of gold have been lost?

That's not the most important thing, once they set this precedent and accept this price, it will not be so easy to lower the price in the future.

If you can't research it yourself, you can only buy finished products from Xuantian Kingdom, at that time, not only a hundred catties of fertilizer can meet the needs of a country, at least tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands of catties, and at that time, how much gold will it cost?

didn't wait to improve the people's livelihood in his country, so he went bankrupt in order to buy fertilizer.

Although imagining this kind of situation is quite pleasant, the emperor didn't really think that Ah Chen wanted to deliberately provoke the people of the four major countries with such an outrageous price.

It's not because of the question of whether he is afraid or not, he doesn't think that the current Xuantian Kingdom needs to be afraid of any country, even if the four major powers join forces, the main reason is not to make the relationship too stiff, which is not conducive to diplomacy.

Among the four major powers, one country has never had any contact with the Xuantian Kingdom, two are friendly countries, and the relationship is quite harmonious, not to mention how close the contacts are, but they are very harmonious in mutual trade or something, and the last one is a little malicious, but far less strict than the red blood zhòng Cheng dù.

"What exactly is exchanged for, how to price the code, let's see what those messengers mean first." Ah Chen stretched his waist and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, with me and Shuangshuang, we won't let our Xuantian Kingdom suffer, and the matter of fertilizer can't be negotiated in a few words, after they give the bid, we will discuss it privately and see the move." ”

Qin Shuang added: "These countries have specific things that are valuable, or which ones are lacking in the Xuantian Kingdom and urgently needed, you can also make a list first, and we can choose some of them to talk to them." ”

"Well, if you have anything to do with it

If you want something, you can also give it priority. "Although he can use the 'internal price' between them to buy enough fertilizer and resell it to other countries, and the difference in the middle does not have to be given to Qin Shuang Achen, but as a family, of course he will not let his son and daughter-in-law suffer.

When he abdicates, won't all these things have to be handed over to them?

"This transaction with various countries, you want to make a few percent, as much as you want." The emperor said calmly.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen were not surprised, Qin Shuang said with a smile: "You are polite, the value involved in the transaction between countries is not something that can be controlled by an individual, and the benefits should be used on the people, we don't need too many things, if there are some special items, such as precious medicinal materials that are not available in Xuantian, or rare things, we can look at and take a part." ”

As long as the resources of each country are determined, she and Ah Chen are afraid that they will not be able to get these things when they travel around the world in the future?

The emperor glanced at Ah Chen, and saw that he didn't have any objections, and probably understood that they had already discussed, and after a little thought, he didn't force them, "I will list some resources from various countries to you tomorrow." ”

"I'm sorry." Qin Shuang bowed slightly.

The emperor smiled and said: "It's all my own family, so it's not troublesome to say anything." However, it is the meaning of our side to only take out the fertilizer but not give weapons, but the envoys of other countries may not give up lightly, only our Xuantian Kingdom has those weapons that may be able to destroy other powerful countries at any time, probably the emperors of those countries can hardly sleep at night, for fear that their own country will become the next red blood. Unless, they themselves have the same weapon in their hands. ”

But once you have a weapon, in addition to self-preservation, you will inevitably breed other thoughts.

"They don't want to give up, they have to give up." Ah Chen sneered and said simply: "The reason why Red Blood was defeated, and even the entire country was taken by us as their own, is because they themselves are constantly provoking and repeatedly challenging the authority of the Xuantian Kingdom, as long as other countries don't have any bad intentions for the Xuantian Kingdom, how can we do anything to other countries for no reason?" ”

"In the past, the Xuantian Kingdom was also very strong, didn't you see it like red blood constantly fighting and expanding its territory? Could it be that with these weapons, they thought that the Xuantian Kingdom, which had never advocated war, would still be ambitious and ready to dominate the world? "It's tiring enough to govern a huge Xuantian Kingdom, if you rule the world, it is estimated that everyone who becomes an emperor will have to die of overwork.

The emperor sighed with emotion: "I think the same way, but people in other countries may not understand it this way. ”

More emperors will only think, but all emperors are indispensable to ambition, Xuantian Kingdom once had no ideas, it doesn't mean that Xiàn has no ideas.
