Chapter 198: We want to garrison

Inoue Ye hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, can you put forward your conditions?" ”

"Conditions? Not to mention, as I said, we need these things too, and we don't have anything extra to give you. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we can buy it directly." Inoue was anxious and blurted out.

"Buy? Do you have any money? Liang Jia said contemptuously.

"Of course we have, our General Jiayuan has discovered a large silver mine." After Inoue Ye finished speaking, he was stunned. How did Nima reveal his hole cards so easily? Well, now that I've said that, there's nothing to hide.

"Silver mines, this can be considered. Lin Han? Liang Jia suddenly shouted.

Lin Han immediately came out of the queue and said loudly: "The minister is here." ”

"After the court disperses later, Lord Lin will go and discuss the details of the transaction with this Jing Zheng envoy."

"Obey."

Inoue bowed in agreement, then stepped aside. This time, the envoy of the Nanyue Kingdom finally found an opportunity, hurriedly stepped out, and said: "Your Majesty Nanyue is sending Hu Xiang to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang. ”

"Something to say."

"Your Majesty Emperor Daliang, my lord hopes to be able to purchase a large number of weapons from Daliang Shangguo."

"And what do you exchange it for?"

"Rice."

"This can be had, you can discuss it carefully with our military officials after you go down."

The envoys of the South Vietnamese State hurriedly thanked them and retreated. As soon as he retreated, the Silla envoy Li Chengyu came up.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Liang, the subordinate hasn't finished speaking just now."

"Didn't you say it, we don't have troops to send for the time being."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are willing to provide all the salaries, silver, grain and grass sent by the kingdom."

"There are no soldiers."

"We are also willing to send 100 beauties, 100,000 taels of silver, which is extra." Li Chengyu hurriedly said.

Liang Jia pretended to be pensive, and then said, "It seems that you are really sincere. I will discuss it with the officials of the Ministry of War later, as for the conditions, even if there are 100 beauties, after our army passes, you should also prepare military salaries, food and grass. However, I have a condition here, you should think about it. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please speak."

"After the successful counterinsurgency, I will garrison Silla."

"Huh?" Li Chengyu was stunned. The condition proposed by His Majesty the Emperor of Great Liang is also a bit harsh.

Although Silla was a vassal state of the Great Liang Kingdom, it was also an independent country in the country. If the Great Liang State garrisoned the army, the nature would change, and this could involve the entire national level, and he couldn't be the master.

"After the next dynasty, you can contact your lord, if you promise that I can find a way to send troops, if you don't agree, forget it."

Li Chengyu had no choice but to retreat again. Subsequently, dozens of chaotic vassal states also made demands. Some wanted to buy food, some wanted to buy cloth, and some took the initiative to ask the garrison of the Great Liang State to protect them.

These are not conditions, so Liang Jia naturally threw this matter directly to the Administration Office to deal with it.

In the end, the envoys of Sang Fanguo finally seized the opportunity to speak, and this condition made it difficult for Liang Jia to do so.

They even proposed to their king to marry the princess of the Great Liang Kingdom.

But now there is no princess in Daliang Kingdom. Liang Jia's father has several daughters, but they have all been married. Liang Jia doesn't have any heirs, where did the princess marry their king.

When they learned that there was no princess to be married in the Great Liang Kingdom, the envoys of the Sang Fan Kingdom were very disappointed, and once again proposed to carry out trade with the Great Liang Kingdom.

There is nothing negotiable about this, this Sangfan country is very similar to the Tibetan area that Liang Jia knew about in later generations, and if it is possible, find a way to take it. Therefore, it is still necessary to assimilate them with civilization first.

The tributary ceremony soon ended, and as soon as Liang Jia returned to the Chongning Palace, he received a request from the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come to the court.

Zhou Kuifa, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked into the Chongning Hall with four officials of the Ministry of Rites and asked Liang Jia for instructions on how to return the gifts to these vassal states. According to the previous practice, the gifts returned were double the tribute gifts paid by the vassal states, in order to show that the Celestial Empire took care of them.

However, Liang Jia did not intend to do so this time. The Great Liang State did not need all kinds of diplomatic means now, and it did not care about taking care of these vassal states. The obedient give some benefits, and the disobedient get out of the way, give them good things, and dream about it.

Therefore, when the officials of the Ministry of Rites arrived, Liang Jia took out a gift list for the return gift, and after some sketching, the gift list worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels.

Zhou Kuifa held the gift list, and was stunned for a while, not knowing how to speak.

"Your Majesty, does this move show that my Heavenly Empire is too stingy?" Zhou Kuifa sighed and asked.

"Stingy? They don't give anything good, they just return the favor, they love it or not. There are still people living in dire straits every day in the country, isn't it better for me to take these things to help the people than to give them to these white-eyed wolves? This is the end of the matter, go down. By the way, remember to call the people from the Green Wolf Tribe. ”

Zhou Kuifa had no choice but to leave Chongning Hall with his subordinates.

The people of the Green Wolf Tribe soon followed the eunuchs in the palace, and they all wondered why the Emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom had summoned them alone.

The relationship between their Green Wolf Tribe and the Great Liang Country is not friendly, although it does not fight as often as the Maohan tribe, but it has to break out a few battles from time to time.

Compared with the Maohan tribe, the green wolf tribe mainly lives near the northeast, with more rain and abundant water and grass in the grassland, and its days are much stronger than that of the Maohan tribe in the west.

Every winter, the Maohan tribe will have a famine, and it has become their regular program to go south to loot the Great Liang Kingdom.

The main envoy of the green wolf tribe, and the nephew of the leader of the green wolf tribe, Tianmu Zhuohan, is named Jin Jinjin, but it is a bit of a sinicization.

Liang Jia brought the two envoys of the Green Wolf Tribe over, and he didn't talk about any national affairs, so he talked to them about some things on the grassland. After the pull, he called an official surnamed Chen and asked the official surnamed Chen to take the two of them to have a good time in the capital. He also said that they had spent the previous month in vain, and they didn't appreciate the beauty of the capital of Daliang.

Chen Yueqiang understood Liang Jia's meaning very well, and took the two envoys to play almost everything that could be played in the capital, and after a few days, the two envoys had almost forgotten what the real purpose of their arrival in the Great Liang Kingdom was, and they were immersed in the gentle countryside every day.

In the past few days, Chen Yueqiang has also thoroughly figured out the intentions of these two people, figured out their hole cards, and even more aware of the intricate relationship between them and the Maohan tribe.

When the envoys from other countries left the capital one after another, the two envoys of the Blue Wolf Tribe still had no intention of leaving.

Liang Jia saw that his goal had been achieved, and finally summoned them again.
