Chapter 1068 - Cutting Friendship (10)
The false name of "Wang" is not necessarily meaningless at all, at least it seems that the vast majority of people other than him Bailiyan are of great significance. And the higher the level of power, the more he values the size of the hat on his head, and Bai Liyan greatly ignores the current environment from his own perspective. Therefore, King Wei should be very happy to get a false name, not to mention that he is only a vassal king.
But the bottom limit of King Wei is also limited, and now one county has been occupied by Liang State, and two counties are returned to Sun State, and it is impossible for him to cut four counties to Liang State. At the same time, Liang still does not have the strength to compete head-on with Wei Guo, even if the current Wei Guo is exhausted, Liang Guo is not the opponent of the Tiger Wolf Legion.
Xianguo only needs to reach an agreement with Weiguo, and the handover of land becomes a fait accompli, at that time, Xianguo promised to give land to the two counties, but the land is in the hands of Weiguo, it doesn't matter to me whether to give it or not, I don't care if the king doesn't want it, but the previous agreement is still valid, and I am not afraid that you will repay the debt, unless you don't want to be cheeky.
Taking a step back, the Liang State annexed the land of the five counties overnight, and it also had to consider the reaction of the princes and the influence of public opinion, only the suzerainty of four counties could still swallow the land of the five counties, and now the Zhiguo of more than forty counties should swallow the Xu State with less than thirty counties in one night.
Once this kind of vicious political demonstration effect occurs, the current political system will no longer exist, and the binding force and prestige of Liang as the suzerainty will be greatly reduced, and this kind of price is obviously not something Liang can bear.
"Sir's plan is very good, I will immediately go to Shen Tonghao to talk to him again, I think he will not refuse this condition."
"Can the deputy marshal think clearly about how to deal with the Son of Heaven and the eldest grandson?"
"I have a plan, Sir may wish to consult the details for me, and when I come back tonight, it is not too late to discuss with the details."
After agreeing with Guan Longxiang, Bailiyan immediately went to the Weiguo Pavilion without stopping. At this time, the sky was still bright, and Shen Tonghao was writing a letter, giving feedback to King Wei about the conditions of today's negotiations with Bailiyan and the results of repeated considerations.
"Mr. Shen, the Marquis of Yongxing of Xianguo asks to see Mr." A guard reported through the door, and Shen Tonghao was surprised.
Previously, he had to report that Bai Liyan was invited by Ji Feng and Ji Tong in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but start worrying that Bai Liyan and Liang Guo would make a deal and go back on their word. After a little thought, Shen Tonghao put away the halfway content he had written, got up and walked out of the bedroom. When he saw Bailiyan, Shen Tonghao said unceremoniously:
"Yongxing Hou, when I met with Boyuan and Antai in the afternoon, it wouldn't be because I wanted to go back on my word."
"Lord Shen, don't misunderstand, Lord Shen's sincerity, Lord Shen can rest assured, this Hou is here for a good thing, a good thing for both of you and me."
Regarding Bai Liyan's statement, Shen Tonghao didn't believe it at all, he questioned:
"How can Your Excellency be so kind?"
"There are some twists and turns, but they are still good for your country. It is inconvenient to speak here, so please take a step forward to speak. ”
"Alright, come with me."
Following Shen Tonghao to no one's place, Bailiyan approached him and deliberately lowered his voice:
"Boyuan and Antai asked Benhou to talk to each other in exchange for the land of your country, and Benhou had to make a change this morning and promise to take away two more counties from your country."
Shen Tonghao was furious when he heard the news:
"How can this be true, Your Excellency has reversed his word, where is the faith!"
"This is a plan designed by Liang Guo, even if Benhou does not agree, my king will agree, Benhou can't force my king. As compensation, Ben Hou is willing to help Wei Wang Jin to be crowned king, what does Lord Shen think? ”
"You exchange two counties for the king's title, shouldn't my king also use two counties to exchange for the king's title, not to mention that now that Liang State has occupied one county in our country, Sun Kingdom is divided into two counties, and there are seven counties less in one night, who can be humiliated by the princes of the world!"
Shen Tonghao was emotional, and Bai Liyan tried to reassure him and said:
"The counties and counties bordered by your country and Liang State can be transferred to your army first, and Liang State can only ask for land from your country if you want it.
"Your Excellency has calculated so much, where has you placed my king?"
Shen Tonghao asked, Baili Yan smiled evilly, and he said:
"The appearance of the tiger and the wolf of the king of the guard, do you still care about this? As long as your country first negotiates with our country, and then claims the land back, then all the agreements reached between our country and Liang will be just a piece of waste paper, and if Liang wants to take land, it can only be promoted to the two kings of Fengwei and Xian. ”
"How can I trust you without evidence."
"You and I just need to reach an agreement as soon as possible, your army will hand over the seven counties of Changsun to our country, and this marshal will exchange your country's land for the guards, and wait for the raw rice to be cooked and cooked, and the Liang country wants the land, so it can only obey the orders of you and me to add the title of king, if it is not sealed, you and I will have no loss.
However, I would like to advise Lord Shen that in the future, you must not believe Liang Guo's nonsense, so as not to suffer from it. ”
Shen Tonghao rolled his eyes when he heard the news, and he said:
"You don't need to worry about it, you have your own sense of proportion."
"Oh, hopefully."
Shen Tonghao finally agreed to Wei Wang Jinfeng's proposal, and Bai Liyan was also relieved, but he was still worried that Shen Tonghao might refuse. Now it seems that the "title" culture still has considerable political weight at present. But from Bailiyan's point of view, a false name is worthless at all.
The name of the Secretary-General of the United Nations is big enough, but in fact it is nothing, neither can represent more than 200 countries on the earth to negotiate with aliens, nor can it represent any sovereign country, not even one person, in the final analysis, it is still strength to speak.
But taking a step back, existence has value, and since a false name can be worth a few dollars at the moment, it may not be impossible to trade it.
negotiated with Shen Tonghao, returned to the pavilion and it was already dark, and agreed with Guan Longxiang on a strategy.
The next day, Bailiyan was still not in a hurry to see the Son of Heaven, and there was a reasonable excuse not to see him. First of all, Bailiyan did not officially declare his intention, whether the outside world knows it or not, I said that I am here to travel, and you can't do anything, so whether you can see the Son of Heaven depends on the purpose and timing.
Second, the Son of Heaven is not your relative, you can see it if you want to, and the Son of Heaven is busy with state affairs and needs to make an appointment. Of course, if you have enough influence, you can make exceptions, and it's okay to be there whenever you go.
Third, Liu Boxun is the ambassador to the central government, Bai Liyan can negotiate with Liang Guo through him, and his government level is much higher than Liu Boxun, once it rises to the level of his personal appearance, it means that there must be a final showdown. Just as the Son of Heaven asked Ji Feng, Ji Tong, and Li Zhu to come forward on their behalf, but whenever a big man appears, there must be a result, otherwise it will seem that you are not smart enough.
Of course, if the strategy of diplomatic struggle requires direct intervention, that is a different matter. For example, Bai Liyan directly skipped Liu Boxun to meet Shen Tonghao, which is a major diplomatic decision, which reflects your sincerity and can promote the smooth progress of the negotiations to the greatest extent.
Just after the morning, Baili Yan drove his horse to the pavilion where Duan Ling, the envoy of the eldest grandson, was located, compared to the small and dilapidated pavilion of Xianguo, the eldest grandson used the word luxury is not enough to describe the luxury of the eldest grandson's pavilion.
When he first entered the wealthy family, Wei Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he said:
"Deputy marshal, the pavilion here is much more magnificent than the Hou Mansion."
"It's really rare to see, and I don't know what this place used to do, but there can be such exquisite gardens, rockeries, bridges, and flowing water."
"Then spend a lot of money, according to your subordinates, you can't stop it with one or two thousand inches of silver."
"Well, this garden is extraordinary, it covers an area larger than the Hou Mansion, and it is worth at least fifty or sixty thousand."
"My good ......"
The current cultural atmosphere has not yet appeared in the architectural pattern of "garden rockery, pavilions and pavilions", at least at the level other than the princely does not have the scenery of pavilions and pavilions and garden rockery.
In particular, in terms of financial resources and land, thirty years ago, the agricultural output of the Central Plains countries was very low, and the material was still very scarce, and the ordinary magnates and wealthy did not have this ability at all, and most craftsmen did not have the experience to accumulate this area, and their imagination was not enough, and the hierarchical system also restricted the potential of nobles other than monarchs and marquis to develop private houses.
After Bailiyan came to power, in consideration of the efficiency of land resource use and longer-term land planning, the amendment law also deliberately retained the clause that residential decoration and the scale of land occupied are linked to social status, so as to restrict ordinary magnates and wealthy people from spending money on homesteads and building houses and gardens, causing a shortage of land supply in urban areas.
In addition, the current construction is still mainly made of wood, and the construction of a large number of houses is extremely damaging to the forest, and by limiting the scale of construction, it can also indirectly protect forest resources.
In front of the director of the Sun Pavilion has built a large number of garden rockery pavilions and pavilions, even the palace of the kings and princes is not everyone has the spring of the south of the Yangtze River, and its cost and cost will not be cheap. In Boyuan, a city that is not too large, it is very rare to have such a garden residence.
Knowing that Bailiyan was visiting, Duan Ling, who was still in the back house, hurriedly came to greet him:
"Yongxing Hou is coming, this envoy is far away, and he also hopes that Yongxing Hou Haihan."
"Yesterday, Ben Hou was busy outside, causing the Duan envoy to come to the pavilion to visit and wait for a day, Ben Hou felt deeply sorry, so he came to your mansion today to apologize to the Duan envoy."
"Huh...... Yongxing Hou Rili has all the opportunities, and this envoy should wait for a few days, Your Excellency, please. ”
Duan Ling was courteous, and Bai Liyan followed him into the garden, and asked him as he walked on the road:
"Your country pavilion is really magnificent, dare to ask who bought this mansion from Duan Envoy?"
"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, this house is not placed by the envoy, but temporarily borrowed by the Son of Heaven, so the envoy is temporarily living here."
"Oh...... I see, that envoy can know who owned this house before, and it was so ingenious. ”
Hearing Bailiyan's praise, Duan Ling was quite proud, and he said:
"This house was originally owned by the 'Qiqiu Gate', and this house was requisitioned after the Son of Heaven came."
"Qiqiu Gate!"
Bailiyan frowned and thought carefully, and realized a little. Seeing that he was thoughtful, Duan Ling asked:
"The Marquis of Yongxing also knows this Qiuqiu Gate"
"Oh, a little heard, a little heard......"
For example, before the construction of the city, it is necessary to choose the terrain to facilitate future defense and warfare, the dredging of rivers and the excavation of canals, and to be proficient in topography and water conservancy.
Its headquarters is also located in Liangguo, but there is no fixed main hall, because most of the time they are like contractors, taking orders to select sites for others, and also undertaking engineering projects, so they run in the field all year round, and the inheritance of technology comes more from the education and workmanship of the construction site.
Due to the long construction period and the need to concentrate manpower, the Qiqiu Gate is mainly based on family inheritance, and the clans and villages are used as labor output places to build engineering projects for people everywhere, so it does not affect the transmission of technology.
In 648 of the Sheng Dynasty, when Bailiyan called on the technical school to serve in the Xianguo, the Qiqiumen also sent the master's disciples to give advice, so Bailiyan had some understanding, but he didn't know that the Qiqiumen were also good at building gardens and land planning.
However, this family-style inheritance model was undoubtedly fragile in the war-torn agricultural era, whether it was conscription or military service, and the Qiqiumen did not have a deep political background to ensure their privilege from conscription, so they could only shrink to the politically stable Liang State to make a living.
The mansion where Duan Ling lived was the private residence of the Qian family of the local Qiqiu Gate, and the reason why it could be built so luxuriously was not unrelated to the Earth Emperor Ji Feng. Ji Feng's mansion was repaired by the Qian family, and it was more luxurious than the Qian family's private residence, so the Son of Heaven did not value the Qian family's private residence, but lived in Ji Feng's mansion.
