|||->-> Chapter 689 Change of Strategy

Now that he already knows that the emperor is a fool, in addition to the military, Shi Bin can certainly cover the sky with one hand, so in the matter of deciding to start trade with Ali Buge, this is just a matter of Shi Bin's words.

However, Shi Bin still didn't want to be so rude, so he still explained.

When he knew that Shi Bin planned to export culture through trade and make the Yuan people more reasonable, even if the ministers of the court and China knew that they might not make much money, and might even lose some money, the opposition of the court and China disappeared completely. Because the matter of redeeming the land has not yet been written and is very sensitive, Shi Bin did not say it.

It didn't take long for even Shi Bin's opponent to stand up and say that Shi Bin was far-sighted and did a good job.

Such unity was something Shi Bin didn't expect, but it was definitely a good sign, at least it could ensure that no one would secretly fail to cooperate when implementing this strategy, let alone stumble. After these things were done, Shi Bin sent an envoy to Dayuan, expressing his hope to continue trade, open more merchants, and sell the goods of the Great Song Dynasty at a parity price.

With such a good thing from heaven, Ali Buge is naturally overjoyed. You must know that he has just finished fighting with Kublai Khan, and although he has won the throne, the pressure is actually very great. The Great Yuan was left with an empty treasury and a few cities in ruins. The people under his rule urgently needed all kinds of goods to support their lives, and many things were priceless in the grassland, but they were common in the Great Song Dynasty.

Although he is not as good as Kublai Khan, as a person who can compete with Kublai Khan, Ali Buge is of course a smart person, and he will not believe that pie falls from the sky, even if the pie is sent by a sworn brother.

After thinking about it, although Ali Buge agreed to Shi Bin's parity transaction, he also said that he would resume free trading after three years, and would return another amount of wealth as interest. If Shi Bin does not accept it, Ali Buge will not accept Shi Bin's parity trading policy.

After getting this news, Shi Bin sighed a little at Ali Buge's shrewdness, which is never in the trap of 'taking people short'.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Shi Bin suddenly remembered the carefree days when he was a mountain man before. Now I'm worried all day, and it's really not very happy. It's just that he doesn't dare to let go of his power, for fear of being hurt by others.

"What, my husband is admiring the bright moon, is he wondering if there is Chang'e on it?" There was a clear voice in my ears.

"Chang'e isn't right next to me, why bother thinking about whether there is one on the moon?" This time, Shi Bin had a flash of inspiration and said a very smart sentence, which made Jia Ling smile.

"I didn't expect my husband to be so good at coaxing people, the slave family is estimated to laugh for three days when he hears this, thank you." Jia Ling immediately laughed.

"Of course you should coax your own wife."

"Why did you look up at the moon for so long just now?" Jia Ling asked after laughing.

"Nature is related to the Yuan people." Shi Bin smiled helplessly: "Brother Ali is shrewd, on the one hand, he agreed to our parity transaction, and on the other hand, he said that this transaction will only last for three years, and after three years, it will be free trade." And after three years, he will give me an additional fortune, which is regarded as interest on me. ”

"This Brother Ali Buge's resourcefulness is not low, and he refuses to take advantage of people." Jia Ling groaned.

"That's true. If this is the case, Ali Buge will not be at a disadvantage when he talks to me about redeeming the land, and things will be difficult to do. What do you say? ”

"Ali Buge must be put at an absolute disadvantage, no

Be able to talk to us on an equal footing. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get back the land we want at a lower price, or even not at all. ”

At this time, Shi Bin and Jia Ling reached a consensus: to put Ali Buge at an absolute disadvantage when negotiating with Shi Bin, and unable to talk to Shi Bin on an equal footing, so that he had to agree to Shi Bin's request to redeem the land.

The bright moon hanging high is beautiful, but because there are only two candles lit and there is no interest, it is really difficult for people to lift their spirits, so it didn't take long for Shi Bin and Jia Ling to rest.

As soon as the court dispersed the next day, Shi Bin summoned Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang Yi and Li Shao to discuss the issues he had exchanged with Jia Ling the night before.

"Ali Buge is very smart, although he accepted our parity deal, but said that he would only accept it for three years, and after three years, he would give us a fortune as interest." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"It's really smart, I know that 'eating people with short mouths and short hands with people'." Wang Yi also smiled.

"He should be in urgent need of all kinds of material support now, so that the people under his rule can rebuild their homes as soon as possible. I don't think he's entirely credible, and he'll compromise with a little bit of force or a different approach. Li Shao said.

Several people thought that Li Shao's words were reasonable, but they were confused about how to 'afterburn' and which way to make Ali Buge compromise, so they asked one after another.

"My lord, the lower officials think that we want to make Brother Ali Buge feel our kindness, not to make Brother Ali Buge feel that we have a plan against him, and let him feel that this is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing. What's more, we are not trying to take it by force, but we are just planning to redeem it, which is not a plot at all. ”

'Mutual benefit and win-win', Shi Bin is very familiar with this word, and he agrees with this attitude very much, but he doesn't know how to make Ali Buge eliminate his guard, and believe in mutual benefit and win-win.

"Tell me, what do you have to do to dispel his vigilance?"

"My lord, we can accept Ali Buge's conditions on the one hand, and lend him money on the other hand to help him restore his national strength. Of course, the borrowed money can't be too much, and he can't recover too quickly. The interest rate should be neither high nor low, so that he should not feel that we are taking advantage of the fire or plotting. ”

"It makes sense, it's a way." Shi Bin nodded and smiled.

Seeing Shi Bin's approval, Li Shao continued to say solemnly: "Your Excellency can also directly tell Brother Ali that the reason why we do this is because we don't want war. The reason why the Yuan people want to beat us is actually to blush our wealth. If we increase trade and make them rich too, and people are determined, there will be no war. My lord, I believe that no one will like to be strewn corpses all over the field. ”

After listening to Li Shao's words, everyone in the study was very satisfied, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. So Shi Bin immediately told the envoy sent by Ali Buge about this meaning, and asked the messenger to convey it to Ali Buge.

Hearing Shi Bin's plan and explanation, Ali Buge's vigilance lowered a lot. Indeed, the root cause of all the wars between nomads and agrarian peoples is that the living conditions of the nomads are too difficult, and they want to have good living conditions.

Ali Buge also believes that as long as the people under his rule are also rich, not only will his ruling foundation be more consolidated, but also the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty will be better, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. So he accepted Shi Bin's proposal and put forward his own plan: to carry out a three-year parity transaction, borrow various items worth 200,000 taels of silver, and start free trade and loan repayment from the fourth year.

Shi Bin, who got the news, was very happy, because it showed that Ali Buge was willing to deepen the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, and the possibility of redeeming the land and rebuilding the capital was one point greater.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were also overjoyed when they found out

These two shrewd women not only saw the possibility of rebuilding the Metropolitan Protectorate, but also saw the shining silver beckoning to them. You must know that their trading is not a small profit and a loss but a huge profit, and those commodities are used by the Yuan people.

"Husband, I don't think that's enough." Sai Si Shi laughed.

Isn't it enough to lend 200,000 taels worth of items? The Yuan population is not large, and borrowing these should be enough.

"Husband, do you think that Brother Ali Buge will be at an absolute disadvantage after borrowing these things? The slave thinks that the most he can do is agree to negotiate with you to redeem some land, but there will certainly not be too many compromises, and we will pay a lot of price. ”

"Sister is right, just such a little thing will not put Ali Buge, the Yuanren Emperor, at an absolute disadvantage, at most talk to us about a small piece of redemption, and the price will definitely not be low." Sai Xi Shi said.

These must be right, but Shi Bin still feels that there are enough things, and the Great Song Dynasty is actually not rich, and the treasury is not abundant, so he can't lend too much to Brother Ali. What's more, this is still a former enemy country, and one day the Song and Yuan Dynasty turned against each other, and all the wealth lent out became a capital enemy.

So Shi Bin spoke: "The words are good, but you must not lend too much to Brother Ali Buge, don't forget that Song and Yuan were still enemies a few months ago." If we are too diligent, I am afraid that Brother Ali will still be suspicious, and think that we have other plans, and it is too much. ”

"So what should I do? We have to let Brother Ali not stand up straight in front of us. After listening to Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling said with a bitter face.

"If Wang San and Li Chao are here, maybe they will have a good way to solve this problem." Sai Si Shi followed.

In fact, Shi Bin doesn't like Sai Xishi's words very much, because it seems that he is just a decoration, and his resourcefulness is not as good as Wang San and Li Chao, although this is true many times. Under such stimulation, Shi Bin did not get angry but had a flash of inspiration, and came up with a way in his mind.

"Two ladies, it seems that the power of the Yuan Emperor is not as great as that of our Song Emperor."

"Yes, they are still tribal chiefs. Tribal leaders have extremely high power, and many powerful tribes can do their own thing regardless of the emperor's will. Jia Ling said, "Husband, why did you suddenly say this?" ”

After smiling weirdly, Shi Bin said, "Guess? ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin was hypocritical, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately glared angrily, which made Shi Bin a little surprised. He didn't want to quarrel with two tigresses while he was getting down to business. Immediately said: "Since the tribal leaders have a lot of power, do they also have a great responsibility for their own tribe, and they also want to restore the strength of the tribe soon?" ”

"Of course, they're just little kings. Some powerful and ambitious people may want to replace Ali Buge. Said Seish.

"In that case, do you think they want to borrow money from me and restore their strength faster? So as to gain more voice? Shi Bin smiled very smugly.

It turned out that Shi Bin was considering this strategy, although Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were still a little unhappy with Shi Bin's previous hypocrisy, but they still admired his clever plan, so they nodded and praised again and again. In this way, Shi Bin set a new strategy: accept Ali Buge's proposal, and at the same time contact with various tribal leaders, saying that they are also willing to help them, and everything is negotiable.

On the grassland, the strong are respected, and no one has ever wanted to be a courtier. Therefore, as soon as they heard Shi Bin's suggestion, the leaders of various tribes sent envoys to express their willingness to borrow materials and money from Shi Bin.
