|||->-> Chapter 696 Agree to help

Seeing the two female Zhuge bothering about their own affairs, Shi Bin was very grateful in his heart, this time he neither stood aside as a bystander, nor joined the team of thinking. Instead, he told Jia Ling and Sai Xishi that he would come when he went.

Both women are very assertive and don't like to be disturbed by others' pointing fingers. So Shi Bin didn't care about leaving the two, he just asked him to come back quickly, and he didn't disappear. It didn't take long for Shi Bin to come back, still holding a pot of good tea in his hand.

"Two ladies, have you come up with a countermeasure? If not, then drink some good tea before you think about it. Shi Bin smiled.

didn't expect Shi Bin to make a pot of tea to comfort them, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi both felt very happy. Jia Ling immediately blushed, and although Sai Xishi didn't blush, she was also smiling.

"Husband, you drink first, let's think about it first, and then drink later." Sai Xi Shi smiled happily.

"Sister Xi Shi is right, let's think of countermeasures first, and then drink when we are thirsty. Now don't interrupt your thinking with a cup of tea. ”

"In that case, husband, I will taste the tea by myself first, and when you want to drink it, I will make it for you." Shi Bin said with a smile while drinking tea.

Perhaps it was the fragrance of tea that aroused the thoughts of the two, and it didn't take long for Jia Ling to speak: "Husband, helping Dali restore the country means starting another war, which means that the husband will lose his trust." If there aren't enough benefits to plug Yoyo's mouth, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"Enough benefits to plug Yoyo's mouth?" Shi Bin groaned.

"Yes, enough good to stop Yoyo's mouth." Jia Ling said with great certainty, "Although the husband is now in power, it is best not to lose his trust to others." If this must be the case, then an explanation must be given to everyone. And this explanation is best a great benefit that is difficult to refuse. ”

Sai Xi Shi agreed with what Jia Ling said very much, so he followed: "Sister is too right. When I was in the cottage, if I wanted to regret it, I would definitely find a good reason to block everyone's mouth, otherwise they would be unconvinced, which would be very unfavorable for me to manage the cottage. ”

"I have an idea of what you said, 'Enough good. How about incorporating the Kingdom of Dali into my Great Song Dynasty instead of just being a vassal state? ”

"Husband, do you want to annex Dali?"

"Yes, I want to annex Dali." Shi Bin said to Jia Ling with a smile, "Although the southwest is a border land, it is still rich in products, and it must be good to develop more." ”

"Husband, your plan is good, but will the Duan clan agree? The Duan clan begged us to help him restore the country, and if we did that, I am afraid they would not agree. Sai Xi Shi said with a frown.

"If I promise him that the Duan clan is still the hereditary king of Dali, but the military and politics are under the jurisdiction of the central government, do you think the Duan clan will agree?" Shi Bin asked, "I have already said that those gold and silver treasures are not rare, and I will not make wedding clothes for others." What's more, I will lose my trust in others. ”

After Shi Bin said this, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, the two shrewd women, immediately felt that Shi Bin's statement was very correct, if you want to help, you must not just need some gold and silver wealth, no matter what, it must be a lot of wealth.

And now Dali is in turmoil, and there is no wealth except for a piece of land. Therefore, it is only by getting this land that people feel that it is cost-effective.

"Husband, your idea is very right, as long as Dali is included in my Great Song Dynasty territory, you can block Youyou's mouth, but the slave family still feels that it is a loss." Jia Ling shook her head and said.

"Still losing?" Shi Bin was puzzled, so he asked, "Madam, Dali can't come up with anything, if you still want it, I'm afraid they all."

I don't want to go back to the country. ”

"Hehehe." After hearing this, Jia Ling feigned anger and said, "Husband, the slave family is so insatiable in your eyes?" ”

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Shi Bin immediately apologized, and at the same time asked Jia Ling to make it clear and not to misunderstand again.

"Actually, my idea is very simple, it will be you who will include Dali in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The person who rules Dali should also be you, and the Duan family's allegiance should be to the husband and not the Zhao family. ”

"It turns out that Madame wants the Duan clan to secretly pledge allegiance to me." Shi Bin nodded and smiled, "I'm worried that I have no place to fight for our interests, and Madam came up with such a good idea, it's really timely." Okay, when I see Duan Xing in two days, I'll tell him these and let him choose. If the Dali Kingdom is incorporated into our Great Song Dynasty, I believe that no one in the court will blame me for breaking my word and getting fat. ”

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Shi Bin was not busy this day, so he ordered Xu Feng to call Duan Xing into the mansion to discuss the restoration of the country.

"Duan Xing, after the last conversation, you should also know the difficulties of this official. If you can't block the mouth of the government and the opposition, it is impossible for this official to send troops to help you restore the country. So in fact, everything depends on your Duan's sincerity. Shi Bin smiled very sincerely.

Since he can be a messenger, of course he is smart, how can he not understand the meaning of the word 'sincerity' in Shi Bin's words? The implication is that it is for great good.

However, Duan Xing didn't want to sacrifice too much of the Duan family's interests, so he pretended to be pitiful and said, "My lord, my Duan family is now a rootless duckweed, and I don't have anything to do. I can only promise my lordship, if my lord helps my Duan clan restore the country, my Duan clan is willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerainty forever, and pay an annual tribute of 5,000 taels of silver and 500 horses of silk. ”

"Duan Xing, no wonder the Duan clan sent you as an envoy, you are really good at trading. It is really smart to call me a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, get the name of an empty suzerain, and pay so much money and wealth a year to pay tribute, so we can raise troops to help you restore the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Lord Shi, my Dali country is small and the people are weak, and I really can't come up with anything good. If you feel that you have suffered a loss, please tell me what you want to help me raise troops and restore the country. Duan Xing said impatiently.

Seeing that Duan Xing was a little impatient, Shi Bin didn't want to make the atmosphere unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Lord Duan doesn't have to be impatient, everything is negotiable." There is a condition for this official, although it is a bit excessive, but I believe that you will also agree. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Actually, it's very simple, your Dali Kingdom was merged into the Great Song Dynasty. How about I make the Great Song Dynasty a hereditary king of the Duan family? ”

Hearing Shi Bin's words, Duan Xing immediately jumped up from the chair and said angrily, "Lord Shi, is your condition too much?" My Duan clan asked you to restore the country, but you want to annex my Dali country, you deceive people too much! ”

The Duan clan has been the king of Dali for hundreds of years, and if it directly became the territory of the Great Song Dynasty after 'recovering the country' with the power of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be too ridiculous? If that's the case, what else is it called reincarnation? So Shi Bin had long expected that Duan Xing would react like this, after all, no one would like people who are anti-guest-oriented.

"Duan Xing, do you think I occupy the magpie's nest?" Shi Bin smiled, "But please also think about it, if it weren't for my Great Song, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have this nest." will only be bullied by their royal family all the time, or simply go incognito to be a common man. What's more, once I help you, I, Shi Bin, will be a dishonest villain."

No one wants to live under the fence, it's too aggrieved, not to mention that the royal family is not good for the Duan family, and they are often bullied. But if the Duan clan wants to give up the position of the monarch of Dali and only be an empty prince, no one likes it.

This choice must be painful, if it weren't for the interests of countless people, Shi Bin would have wanted to help without remembering the benefits, but unfortunately he couldn't. In order to make Duan Xing more comfortable, Shi Bin said that he would not force it, and respected Duan's decision.

It didn't take long for Duan Xing to speak with a bitter face: "Master Shi, isn't there any room for maneuver?" ”

"It's difficult, after all, this is a national matter, not a small matter for a family. Presumably you also know that this official and the Zhao family are actually not on good terms, and if I want to break my trust and help him the Zhao family open up territory, I am actually unhappy in my heart. Shi Bin agreed and said with a bitter face.

I wanted to say, 'You don't want to give you money, but now why are you complaining'? But Duan Xing didn't dare to talk to Shi Bin like this, so he had to say: "Duan Xing knows some contradictions between Lord Shi and the Great Song royal family, and these things will not be comfortable no matter who they happen. The villain understands the adult very well, but please ask the adult, what can the villain do to make the adult comfortable? ”

"In fact, the official doesn't know, at least he can't make the official appear too discredited, and he can't suffer a lot." Shi Bin groaned.

Not long after, Duan Xing said: "My lord, the villain can promise the Dali Duan clan to become a member of the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of the monarch, but he must have a certain degree of autonomy like other Tusi." The Great Song Dynasty can send troops to garrison, but other powers are still the hands of my Dali Duan clan. ”

"I'm afraid that this is not enough, no one will agree. Sending a few garrisons doesn't mean anything. Shi Bin shook his head again and again.

"All the expenses of the garrison are borne by my Dali, how about it?"

"Duan Xing, this should have been borne by you, could it be that my Great Song Dynasty sent troops to be your bodyguards in the past? It's ridiculous! Shi Bin laughed angrily.

Seeing that Shi Bin was angry, Duan Xing was panicked in his heart, and immediately apologized, saying that he didn't know how to talk nonsense, and hoped that Shi Bin would not be angry.

didn't really get angry, seeing that Duan Xing was quite interesting, Shi Bin stopped caring and said: "Duan Xing, let me say it again, if you want my Great Song Dynasty to help you restore the country, your Duan clan must show enough sincerity, and let me not lose my trust." Otherwise, nothing to talk about. ”

"My lord, do you think this is good? My Dali was incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty could garrison troops in Dali, and we should bear all the costs. The Great Song Dynasty could also participate in the management, but it was mainly I, the Dali people, who managed themselves, and the officials sent by the imperial court only served as supervisors. ”

Shi Bin is actually quite satisfied with this plan, because the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if he insists on the direct jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty officials, I am afraid it will not be good. So after thinking about it, Shi Bin agreed.

But just before Duan Xing had time to be happy, Shi Bin said again: "Duan Xing, what we just talked about was the relationship between your Duan family and my Great Song Dynasty, but we didn't let me get anything, and this official doesn't like to make wedding clothes for others." At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pushed Duan Xing and said, "Duan Xing, don't get me wrong, I don't want your Duan family's money." ”

These words made Duan Xing suddenly feel that he didn't know what to do, Shi Bin wanted both benefits and money, so what would he want?

"My territory in the Great Song Dynasty is not small now, and the border is often a little restless, you can listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement on weekdays, but if I want you to contribute, I must not sit idly by."

"Of course, if Lord Shi wants us to help, we will be on call." Duan Xing immediately said after understanding these words. In order to reassure Shi Bin, Duan Xing said again: "My lord, please rest assured, only your military orders will be obeyed by my Duan clan, and we will not obey anyone's military orders." ”

"Now that we've agreed, that's good. In a few days, you will face the saint with me, and I believe that he will allow me to lead troops to help your Duan clan restore the country. Shi Bin smiled.

Everyone knows that the current emperor is a puppet, as long as Shi Bin agrees, as for the face saint, it is just a formality to maintain the last bit of face of the royal family.

So Duan Xing happily gave Shi Bin a big gift and said, "Thank you, my lord, the villain is looking forward to my lord leading the army to help my Duan family restore the country." The villain is here to thank the people of Dali for their great kindness. The adults must have a lot of trivial matters, so the villain will no longer bother and retreat first. ”
