Chapter 125: Release to the Four Seas
85_85256 Turning hatred into friendship like this? On the way home, Deng Yan thought a little unwillingly.
But what if that's not the case?
The national strength of the Mao State in the entire Central Plains is now the worst, and it is even weaker than the smallest Zhang Si State in the Central Plains, because it has not formed commercial relations with other countries in the past few years. But now no matter how hard he catches up, he feels a little lacking in strength, so Deng Yan feels like his chest is blocked by something.
Seeing that Deng Yan didn't speak all the way, Prime Minister Liu Ming had already guessed his mind for seven or eight points, Liu Ming hurriedly pretended not to know and asked, "Holy Lord, do you need to stop and rest before leaving?" β
"Okay, let's take a break." Deng Yan said.
So everyone stopped on the spot.
Liu Ming patted the dust on the big stone on the side of the road, and then asked Deng Yan to sit down there, and Deng Yan did so.
"Holy Lord, are you in a bad mood?" Liu Ming asked tentatively.
"Of course, it's not like you don't know my mind." Deng Yan said with a displeased face.
Hearing him say this, Liu Ming immediately realized something, and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, revenge is easy to cause trouble, so you have to be careful!" Besides, if you investigate their motives, if we hadn't taken the initiative to attack Xi Country back then, they wouldn't have fought back, so it's better to cooperate with them openly first, and then secretly find a way to deal with them. β
How does this sound like he is helping Xi Guo? Deng Yan frowned.
Liu Ming knew his thoughts, and explained: "Wechen analyzes it from an objective point of view. β
It's not that Deng Yan doesn't know, he just wants to be alone to complain to him. "Alas, Prime Minister, when has our country ever been so passive? You should be well aware of the dangers when a country or a person is caught in a passive situation, right? Deng Yan looked at him and asked, with a coldness in his eyes.
Wechen understood. Weichen knows that the saint is unhappy about this matter, so if you have any unhappiness, just vent it, but don't suffocate your body. Liu Ming said busily.
Deng Yan smiled slightly.
It is undeniable that since Liu Ming became the prime minister, all fields of the Mao Kingdom have been better than before. Liu Ming made him realize a lot of shortcomings in himself, but sometimes the advice given by Liu Ming couldn't help but make him a little angry, because Liu Ming's perspective on the problem was different from his. It often makes him confused. I don't know whether to listen to him or stick to his own ideas, but the most powerful thing about Liu Ming is that he can make Deng Yan have nothing to say, because he sees things from a higher angle than Deng Yan. So Deng Yan finally had to make a decision in line with his plan.
In the past year or so, it seems that the final decision-making power of every important thing has been implemented according to Liu Ming's advice.
"Prime Minister Liu, the country in your mind is a very ideal country. I think it's hard to do, but I'd love to see it. You sue sΓΉ me. What will your planned Mao Kingdom look like in five years? What about ten years from now? β
Liu Ming smiled and said a few words in Deng Yan's ear, Deng Yan was overjoyed when he heard it, looked at Liu Ming and said, "Then I will wait to see your watch." People say that Xi Guo can take off if there is a Shen Xizhen, and I also hope that Mao Guo can gradually get rid of the situation of the weakest country in the Central Plains because of you. β
"Yes. Holy Lord, Wechen is willing to do his best. Liu Ming hurriedly replied, a mysterious smile flashing on his face.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
"Your Majesty. It is not enough for us to form an alliance with these three countries in the Central Plains, and there are many powerful countries outside the Central Plains that are worthy of our long-term cooperative relations. Xi Zhen admonished Emperor Guangzhao.
Emperor Guangzhao couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard her words.
It was beyond his expectation that the Xi Kingdom could develop from a small country that was bullied to the main force of the Central Plains. How bold would it be to look farther away?
But isn't there still Shen Xizhen helping? Thinking of this, he suddenly increased his self-confidence.
"This is indeed a wonderful building, so tell me your plan." Although Emperor Guangzhao was a little shocked in his heart, he was still very calm on the surface, because he knew that since she could bring it up, she must have already known it in her heart. Since she knew it in her heart, of course he didn't want to miss those constructions that were beneficial to the country.
"Outside the Central Plains, there are Gan countries in the north and south, Shiguo in the southeast, Zhen countries in the north, silk countries in the northwest, and lake countries in the south, all of which are closely surrounding the Central Plains. In addition, close interaction with them can also increase the exchange and collision between different cultures, and help the spiritual construction of Xi people. Also, if we can get their support, the three countries in the Central Plains will not pose a threat to us. β
"Well, you have a point, then, do you think we can look beyond the Central Plains now? So how does that work? Emperor Guangzhao asked with great interest.
He knew that she could always propose something that would make him feel empowered, and it was precisely because of her that Xi Guo could slowly become stronger from a weak country, so even if he couldn't help but be surprised every time he heard her proposal, he didn't dare not pay attention to it.
"Send envoys to these countries, form commercial and cultural relations with them, and when the time is ripe, sign an alliance contract with them." Xi Zhen said.
Emperor Guangzhao suddenly sat up straight.
Does she mean to treat them like the three countries in the Central Plains? How dare she think about it! But Emperor Guangzhao was a little hesitant, he was a little worried that those countries would not eat this set, after all, they were all countries that were very different from the Central Plains culture.
But thinking about it, they didn't have much reason to refuse such a request, after all, the relationship between countries and the economy depended on circulation to drive it, so Emperor Guangzhao nodded and approved of her proposal.
"Then we can act this month. The countries of Zhenguo, Silk Country, and Lake Country are slightly smaller, and fifteen envoys can be sent from Zhenguo in the north to Silk Country in the west and then to Huguo in the south. The country of Gan in the north and south and the world in the southeast are both large countries with a very prosperous culture and economy, and they can be used as the objects of our key exchanges, so we can send 25 to 30 envoys who are proficient in diplomacy. Xizhen said.
"Okay, then I will discuss with the ministers tomorrow and strive to finalize the envoy plan as soon as possible." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.
"Okay. Your Majesty, the courtiers wanted to ask to personally follow the envoys to the Gan Kingdom and the World Kingdom. Xi Zhen said again.
Emperor Guangzhao was stunned.
She has only recently returned from the original ball country, is this going to leave the Xi country to go outside? (To be continued)
