Chapter 0682 - Choice and Abandonment
The more Huang Huilian listened to her, the colder her heart became, and it seemed that her dream of using Luo Yunxiao to make herself rise to the top was about to be shattered. I will return to that starting point again, and I may not be able to rise in this life. Alas! It's really a game, a dream!
Just when Huang Huilian was disheartened and depressed, Xu Jiayun spoke again: "If you want to climb a high branch, why hang yourself on a tree!" Miss Ben could show you the way if you wished, and now I want to know what you are going to do. ”
Although Huang Huilian's facial expression did not change, her eyes blinked slightly, and she was instantly captured by the shrewd Xu Jiayun. It is said that the eye is the window to the soul, and it does not deceive. Judging from the subtle flickering of Huang Huilian's eyes just now, she was already tempted.
However, Xu Jiayun still wanted to confirm his judgment, so he asked again: "If you want to, nod your head, and if you don't want to, shake your head." Then I'm going to ask you officially! Would you like to? ”
Huang Huilian struggled for a while, finally nodded, and then lowered her head again.
Xu Jiayun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, it seems that there is a door! It can be regarded as not dishonoring the mission given to him by Brother Luo. So she said decisively: "This girl recommends a strong man for you, a strong man with absolute power, and he is also the overlord of one side!" It is the Khan of this Le country, Ruba Chaocang. It can be said that he is the emperor here, if you are willing to marry him, you are the one under the one, the mother of the world, Ke He Dun, which is equivalent to the queen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! What do you think? Do you have any interest? Think about it. ”
originally thought that Huang Huilian would think about it for a long time, but she suddenly said resolutely: "Don't think about it anymore, I agreed." ”
It's as simple as that, Xu Jiayun instantly converted love at first sight into two loves. Luo Yunxiao's vision is good, he chose Xu Jiayun to be a lobbyist; Xu Jiayun's vision was not bad, and she saw at a glance that Huang Huilian was a material woman who wanted to climb high branches, so she quickly took her down.
When Naruba heard Luo Yunxiao say that the woman who played the piano had already agreed, his whole body flew up, but he plucked onions on dry land, and after rising more than 3 zhang high, he landed vertically in the same place.
It's also called a blessing in disguise! If it weren't for the fact that they almost fought with Luo Yunxiao in order to practice the sisters in red before, fortunately, they stopped in time at that time, so they didn't have a stalemate with Luo Yunxiao, so that they would have today's trip, and they would meet the one they were destined for, and they would finally get her under the friendly communication between their Han people. Do you think he can jump unhappily?
It's a win-win-win-win situation. Ruba Chaocang was a big win, and got the most perfect woman in his life; Huang Huilian naturally won in the middle, winning a Luba Chaocang who was less than the top and more than the bottom, although there was still a certain gap with Luo Yunxiao, but it was a pretty good ending; Luo Yunxiao won a small victory, and he could finally get rid of Huang Huilian's stubborn fighting, and he could continue to connect with Luba Chaocang, which was also a very good situation.
Once personal matters are dealt with, it is time to settle the affairs of the state. The talks on bilateral cooperation between Dahua and Eile began with a simple start, so we first asked Qin Weishui, Minister of Commerce, Zong Xuyang, Minister of Agriculture, and Qiu Baoping, Minister of Construction, to talk with each other about business, agriculture and construction. If you want to trap each other, you have to give each other a little sweetness.
The entire three major blocks are still the easiest to communicate with in business, because the oil, water and benefits of this piece are the largest, and they can be returned as soon as possible. Only by making the roads unobstructed can the volume of trade between the two sides be increased, so that the authorities and the common people of the two countries can make a lot of money and live a happy life. Although Dahua and Eile are not good at agriculture and do not seem to have any intersection, they can also exchange my rice for your cattle, sheep and horses.
In the negotiation of these three parts, the two sides quickly reached a consensus. Dahua invested 9 million taels of silver from Yongzhou in Dahua to Shanshan via Tuyuhun, and then from the Xiongnu to Eile, building a 7,000-mile road. He only needed to give Dahua 12,000 sheep, 2,000 horses, and 1,000 cattle as funds for road construction; In addition, the two countries of Tuyuhun and Shanshan contributed 1.5 million silver each; Because the Xiongnu did not establish an alliance with Dahua, they were not counted. But Edgelmumu personally spoke, as long as this road is repaired, he will send a force of men and horses to garrison this section of the line of the Southern Huns to ensure that this road is unimpeded. With his assurance, Luo Yunxiao felt that it was more affordable than letting them contribute, at least it could reduce a lot of uncertain factors, so why not?
The whole road spans 5 countries, is more than 7,000 miles long, and the total investment is 15 million taels of silver. Dahua gave 9 million taels of silver, of which 3 million taels were counted as Eile, because their circulating currency was not in line with Dahua, so Dahua paid it first, and they used cattle, sheep and horses worth 3 million taels of silver to Dahua OK. Natuyuhun and Shanshan both circulated silver, so the two of them each paid 1.5 million taels.
After the Silk Road is repaired, including Tuyuhun, Shanshan, Qiuci, Khotan, and Eile, they will get a lot of benefits, and even the nearby Wusun and even the Southern Xiongnu can get a piece of the pie.
However, road construction is a long-term plan, it cannot be done overnight, it is impossible to build it in 10 years and 8 years, this matter will be put aside for the time being, and the next time, it will be time for Luo Yunxiao to go out in person. He had to go and talk to Ruba Chaocang about the most critical alliance issue, which was the main purpose of his trip.
People from both sides came to the big tent of Ruba Chaocang, and according to the location of the guest and host, Ruba was the boss of the host country, so naturally he spoke first without raising his hand: "Hehe! President Luo, Ben Khan still wants to say thank you and your men! Now that Huilian girl has become much closer to Ben Khan, and it is all thanks to your best help that she will have such a good start! ”
Luo Yunxiao smiled slightly: "Where, where!" We just told the Huilian girl about the courage and majesty of the Ruba Khan, and she also admired the heroism of the Khan, so that the two of you fell in love at first sight, fell in love, and finally brought the two together. ”
Lu Ba Chaocang also smiled, and then said, "That's also because of your credit!" Ben Khan is a very affectionate man, and in this respect, you can rest assured. So what else do you need Ben Khan to do now, just say it! As long as it can be done, Ben Khan promises that there will be no second words. ”
Luo Yunxiao looked at him, his face gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The former Qin State is ambitious, and it has always been a threat to our Dahua and the Eastern Jin Kingdom, Luo Mou now wants to make a complete break with the former Qin State, and needs the cooperation of your Eile, I don't know if the Luba Khan is willing to help with this?" ”
After thinking for a while, Lu Ba Chaocang said: "It stands to reason that although we are neighbors with the former Qin, there are no major differences and contradictions, and there is not the slightest dispute over the territory, so there is no excuse to tear up face with them!" ”
Luo Yunxiao adjusted his thinking, and then said: "Ruba Khan, do you think this will work?" You don't need to take action at all, you just need to take a middle ground, don't help either side, and wait until we take the former Qin, and then the area north of the desert and the southern part of the Altai Mountains will all be under the rule of your Eile country, what do you think of this? ”
Does this still need to be considered? The fool also knows that as long as he does not interfere in this matter, a piece of territory equivalent to 1/4 of the size of the Eile will be his own, and this is a transaction that does not cost money! If you don't agree, it will become a scolding word in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which means that people who have no brains, or people who have done particularly stupid things}! No way! I'd rather be three pigs than be the three pigs.
Lu Ba Chaocang immediately made a decision without hesitation, and decided to accept Luo Yunxiao's suggestion, watch from the wall, and watch them fight, no matter who wins or loses, it will not have any impact on them. Absolutely! He still hoped that Dahua would be able to achieve the final victory, so that he could get a lot of extra gains.
In this way, Luo Yunxiao's entire trip to the Western Regions has come to a complete end, and the whole harvest is still quite rich. Although they failed to sign an alliance with the Xiongnu, they reached a certain settlement, and for at least 10 years, they would not attack south.
When he was about to leave Ele, someone suddenly approached Luo Yunxiao and said that their designate, Kehetun {that is, Miss Huang Huilian}, wanted to meet him, which was also agreed by Ruba Khan. Maybe it may be the last side of this life! Hopefully he will be able to meet this small request.
Now that we've talked about it, what else can I say? See you, see you! Luo Yunxiao brought his new wife Lian Hongyi and the chief of the guard Wu Chengfeng to the Khan's mansion, which is a place composed of more than 10 extra-large yurts.
After all, this yurt belongs to a people on horseback, and they are very mobile, and it is unlikely that they will engage in large-scale civil works in one place, and if something happens, this yurt can be unpacked and rolled up and gone; And there is no way to take away those built buildings, so it seems that this is also a nation's long-term accumulated experience!
