Chapter 862: Please enter the urn
Coming to the atrium for a moment, Ji Feng had a bright smile like yesterday, and it seemed that he still had a hello, me, hello, everyone, and good-natured mentality, but in fact he was a typical ruthless character with a knife hidden behind the smiling tiger.
"Marquis Yongxing, what happened yesterday, what does King Xian want?"
"Except for papermaking and printing, my king generally agrees with what Bo Yuanjun mentioned."
"Okay, just admit it."
"Admit it!" Bai Liyan was unhappy and asked: "Bo Yuanjun took away the Ten Thousand Stone Ship and Steelmaking Technique from my Xianguo for nothing, do I still earn it in Xianguo!" ”
"But this gentleman can hear that Yongxing Hou Wanshi ship has a distinction between merchant ships and warships, and there is a difference between high and low steel-making methods, you Yongxing City can now smelt dozens of good steels, but Yongxing Hou only gives this gentleman inferior steel-making methods and merchant ships, this monarch is deceived by this, not planted and what."
Hearing what Ji Feng said, Bai Liyan was taken aback. The news of the cabinet's secret discussion yesterday, Bo Yuanjun knew today, to be sure, it should be the internal reference news he got last night.
"It's weird, could it be that the prince leaked it? It shouldn't be. Tan Le and Mi Yuan did not hear the cabinet discussion, the prince and Ji Feng are not on good terms over silk, and they should not have anything to do with Ji Feng no matter what. ”
When she secretly said in her heart, Bai Liyan hurriedly covered up and answered in a panic and said:
"Bo Yuanjun is really well-informed."
"Each other, I know that you will not easily agree to what this gentleman wants, but Yongxing Hou, don't forget, what you made yesterday is not a contract, and this gentleman can withdraw the negotiation at any time."
"So what do you want!"
"Since the rise of Yongxing City for more than ten years, it is difficult for outsiders to get a glimpse of it, doesn't Yongxing Hou plan to lead Benjun to find out."
"It's impossible."
Bai Liyan categorically refused, Ji Feng did not give up, and did not have the slightest intention of backing down:
"The Marquis of Yongxing can't control it, but if King Xian knows that yesterday's black and white words have become a dead letter today, the Marquis of Yongxing thinks that King Xian and the civil and military officials can easily let go of Your Excellency."
"So what, it's a big deal that Ben Hou is afraid of being pointed out by a thousand people."
"Hehe......" Bo Yuanjun sneered: "If there is no support from my Liang State, the Xian State will be able to achieve nothing if it is enough to give up the shortage and the money ticket, what the consequences will be Yongxing Hou knows better than anyone else." Benjun just went to Yongxing City to take a look twice, is it really that difficult? Or do you Yongxinghou do something unspeakable, and you can't show it. ”
Ji Feng was aggressive step by step, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from Bailiyan's forehead, and he quickly calculated the pros and cons in his heart.
Compared with the direct loss in the transaction, the shortage of gold and silver and the exchange rate storm are far more harmful than the simple loss of funds, Ji Feng maliciously tore up the oral agreement reached yesterday, and was indeed very passive to the Xianguo, if he did not agree to the conditions, the consequences were obvious. But promised, Ji Fengbao was not allowed to open his eyes, and it was not impossible for the lion to open his mouth.
At this time, the atmosphere was silent for a while, and carefully grasping the proportions, Bai Liyan was ready to do this:
"Okay, Ben Hou can agree to Bo Yuanjun's request, but this matter will end here, and at the same time, as compensation, Liang State should order fifty ten thousand stone merchant ships from my Xian State in exchange."
"Fifty of a kind!" Ji Feng was taken aback: "You said yesterday that you were no longer able to build a 10,000-stone ship, and today you opened your mouth to fifty ships, could it be that you deceived this king!" ”
"It is true that the dockyard of Xianguo is full, but Ben Hou has never said that he cannot expand and increase the shipyard. Moreover, if Liang wants to build a 10,000-stone ship, he must first learn the new shipbuilding technology, so when Liang orders 50 10,000-stone merchant ships, it also needs to send 8,000 shipwrights and 30,000 people to our Xianguo, and 50 ships are considered the tuition fees for Liang Guo to study 10,000 stone ships. ”
"You're blackmailing!"
"Wrong, there is an essential difference between the construction of a 10,000-stone ship and a 5,000-stone ship, if my Xianguo sends a shipwright to teach it to Liang Guo, it will not be able to build it at all in ten years. Only when Liang Guo sends people to study in our Xianguo, and at the same time, Liang Guo can build a new shipyard in China, only in this way can he learn to build a Wanshi ship faster.
In addition, Ben Hou can allow Bo Yuanjun to pay for the construction of the new ship in Xianguo Singapore dollars, and all the food and housing expenses of the shipwrights and people of Liang State will be borne by our Xianguo, and this transaction will not be a loss. ”
Ji Feng pinched his fingers and calculated, if they were all traded in Xianguo's new currency, they could buy fifty 10,000 stone ships, which seemed to be indeed not a loss, and they could learn the method of shipbuilding faster. But after thinking about it, how can Bailiyan be generous?
"Yongxinghou doesn't have other plans, right?"
"If Ben Hou wants to say no, I'm afraid Bo Yuanjun won't believe it."
"So, you really have other plans!"
"This doesn't bother Lao Boyuanjun, what's the matter, whether this deal will be agreed or not."
"If I promise, can you open Yongxing City for Benjun to see?"
"Limited to Bo Yuanjun, Kang Gongzi and Benhou's nephew, no one else is allowed to enter."
"Okay, I'll promise you, I'll go today."
"I'm not busy, I have to wait for this marquis to pass my king before making arrangements, and wait for tomorrow."
"Then tomorrow, you don't have to go back on your word again!"
"Bo Yuanjun rest assured, Ben Hou is full of words, when have you ever seen Ben Hou go back on his word. Ben Hou will be early today, so please go back first. ”
"That being the case, this gentleman will wait for the Marquis of Yongxing tomorrow and take his leave."
"Boyuan-kun, please."
Ji Feng gave a slight salute, then turned around and left, and when Wei Qi came forward and said:
"Master Hou, my subordinates are thinking that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Master Hou, Ji Feng can return to yesterday's verbal agreement, today should write the deed with him in black and white, and now it is easy to let him go, if you know the mystery of Yongxing, what should you do if you go back on your word."
Bai Liyan sneered when she heard the news:
"Huh...... I was afraid that he would not backtrack. Let the stove prepare breakfast, and enter the palace immediately after using it. ”
"It's just dawn, so I'm going to enter the palace a little early."
"It's not too early, let people prepare."
"No!"
Bo Yuanjun's greed is greater than gluttony, Baili Yan expects that after he has seen Yongxing City, he will inevitably open his mouth again, and he can't stop it.
Before four o'clock had passed, Bailiyan quietly entered the palace, King Xian was having dinner, and Jiang Hao, the chief agent of the secret agent, came to report:
"King, the Marquis of Yongxing has arrived outside the harem, and he has something to ask to see the king."
"What do you know so early?"
"I don't know, but Bo Yuanjun went to the house when it was just dawn, and he should have talked about the details."
"Ask him to wait in the Imperial Garden first, and the widow will go later."
"No."
After Jiang Hao left, King Xian continued to eat, and talked to the concubine on the side while using it:
"Concubine Zhen, the widow heard that Can'er wants to study medicine."
"Does the king know too?"
"Recently, Can'er often went to the medical office, and the widow saw that he had the appearance of studying medicine. You, a mother, should also ask well, don't let him be ambitious. ”
"Alas...... Can'er, this child has grown up, and he doesn't seem to love anything, but he wants to know everything, and I can't discipline it. ”
"It's a good thing not to love anything, but people can't help but love the complicated things in the world, and the widow wants to arrange some government affairs for him, what do you think?"
"Can'er is talented and incompetent, it's good to take care of himself, where can the concubine expect him to reach out and take care of his affairs."
"People are not born with talents, and even if they are talented, they must have room to display their talents. What's more, Can'er is still young, and she should experience and see the world. ”
"That'...... The king is in charge, and the concubines don't care. ”
Jiang Can's biological mother, Concubine Liu, married King Xian at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to Jiang Can at the age of eighteen.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, King Xian Shanshan went to the Imperial Garden:
"Chen Baili Yan see the king."
"Yongxing Hou and Ji Feng have negotiated?"
"The negotiation is basically agreed, but Ji Feng temporarily proposed to go to Yongxing City, if he does not agree, all verbal agreements will be null and void."
"And that sort of thing!" King Xian was surprised, and then asked, "Did Aiqing agree?" ”
"If you don't agree, Liang will try to prevent my country from implementing the implementation of leaving enough to give up the shortage, and the consequences will be even worse. After weighing left and right, he could only agree to Ji Feng's conditions, and in exchange for Liang Guo ordering 50 merchant ships from our Xianguo in Singapore dollars, and at the same time sending 8,000 shipwrights and 30,000 people to learn the new shipbuilding method. ”
"Yongxing City is related to the foundation of Xianguo, and Ji Feng is greedy, if he knows the secret of Yongxing, he will not go back on his words and blackmail the widow."
"Yes, the king, the minister expected that Ji Feng would inevitably blackmail our country again, so he could only want to capture him and invite him into the urn."
"Invite him into the urn?" King Xian was puzzled, so he asked: "The secret is seen by him, how to invite him into the urn!" ”
"The minister asked the king, does the king know why Yongxing is prosperous?"
"Naturally, it is Aiqing's power to open the foundation of Yongxing's immortality, and who else can compare with Aiqing."
"The king is actually wrong, the prosperity of Yongxing is in the prosperity of education. What the ministers have learned and thought have been passed on to the craftsmen, passed on to a group of students, and everyone has learned to apply what they have learned to have Yongxing City today, and in less than ten years, Yongxing City will be a different appearance.
However, the world only knows the prosperity of Yongxing and the prosperity of the property, so Bo Yuanjun must only see the appearance of Yongxing City when he goes to Yongxing City, but does not know the essence of Yongxing. Therefore, the reason why the minister agreed to his entry into Yongxing City this time was to ask him to ask for money to buy the prosperity of my Xianguo. ”
"Let Ji Feng pay for the prosperity of the widow?! The more the widow listened, the more confused he became. ”
"At present, Yongxing City's production capacity is facing two major problems, one is that the production capacity is still insufficient, but this can increase manpower to expand production with performance, and the other is that although Yongxing, Lincheng, and Ruitian have huge annual income, but they are also very much handed over to the treasury, and the money and grain used for Yongxing's expansion seem to be a lot, but in fact, new industries and craftsmen need more input, so if there is no money, no matter how much manpower is difficult to invest in the expansion of production capacity.
The reason why the minister wanted Ji Feng to buy the merchant ships of the Xianguo State and provide manpower in exchange for the method of shipbuilding was to dilute the cost of our country, and at the same time accelerate the expansion of shipbuilding to benefit the development of the Xianguo. At the same time, only by making the economy of Liang State highly interconnected with our Xianguo can we further win over Liang State and make it inseparable from Xianguo. Only in this way can the implementation be carried out smoothly, and at the same time, Yongxing's production capacity will also accelerate its expansion due to additional income. ”
The industrialization of Yongxing City is bound to make Ji Feng shocked, and he must propose that Xianguo transfer relevant technology in order to make profits for it in the future, Ji Feng actually thinks so, but he may not know what is behind the industrialization.
