Chapter 166: Special Guest

The power of money is still very strong, and for the sake of money, the people of the Chrysanthemum Country still squeezed out a lot of food.

It's just that those slaves and subordinates have suffered, and they can only barely eat enough to eat, after all, the masters know that if they want slaves and subordinates to work hard, they still have to be fed.

But now, it is not only the will of Emperor Kotoku, but also the silver of white flowers, and the yellow and clear gold can be obtained, and the slaves and subordinates should not starve to death if they eat one less meal a day, and of course sell as much grain as possible.

No matter what the era, it is always the people at the bottom who are hurt, and it is always the few who enjoy the benefits.

Although a lot of grain has been squeezed out, the amount is still far from enough.

However, Emperor Kotoku can't manage so much, and if he squeezes out the food, I'm afraid that the slaves below will be forced to rebel.

There is only so much grain, counting the gold and silver brought by the two countries, they give a ridiculously high price, anyway, they have worked hard, they can only get so much food, but the gold and silver brought by the two countries will never let them bring back.

The envoys of the two countries who came to envoy to the Chrysanthemum Country were of course unwilling to agree, the price of this grain is really ridiculously expensive, and a fool can't accept it!

On the surface, Emperor Kotoku seems to be a very good talker, always with a gentle smile on his face, and he is polite to others, but that is only his appearance.

If you are fooled by his appearance, you are very wrong.

The envoys of the two countries thought that the newly appointed emperor of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom would be a better talker, so they kept demanding that the price of grain not exceed the previous maximum price too much.

Goguryeo used to occupy Liaodong and was not short of food, but Baekje often had times when there was a shortage of food.

When relations between Baekje and Silla were eased, they sometimes bought grain from Silla and sometimes from Goguryeo, but they also bought grain from the Chrysanthemum Kingdom a few times.

Although the current situation is different, and it is certain that the price of food will rise, it is not possible to increase the price without limits!

Now the asking price of the Chrysanthemum Country is not one or two times higher than the price when the Baekje Kingdom came to buy grain before, but ten times and twenty times, how can this be acceptable?

Emperor Hyodeok ordered the right minister, Soga Ishikawa Maro, to negotiate with the envoys of Goguryeo and Baekje.

Although Emperor Kotoku wanted to set the gold and silver that the envoys of the two countries would bring for the purchase of grain, he did not want to go too far, and hoped to adopt a moderate approach so that the envoys of the two countries would agree to accept the grain purchase price offered by the Chrysanthemum Kingdom.

With such a high price, where do the envoys of the two countries have the right to agree, if they really agree, they don't have to return to China.

The king of Baekje and Yuangae Suwen will definitely kill their entire family to vent their anger.

The gods of death in the two countries can't be the masters themselves, so they must find someone who is the master, but the matter is reported to the kings of the two countries.

The kings of the two countries convened the ministers to discuss, and of course everyone was very angry, thinking that what the Chrysanthemum Kingdom had done was too much.

But the situation is stronger than people, whether they agree or not, the outcome is the same.

If you don't agree, the result may be even worse, not only will the money be gone, but not even a grain of grain will be shipped back.

After agreeing to the price of the chrysanthemum country, at least a little grain can be brought back. And the relationship with the Chrysanthemum Country, this is a step further, and when dealing with the Tang Dynasty in the future, you can even consider borrowing troops from the Chrysanthemum Country.

After everyone's urgent consultation. And so it was settled.

The performance of Goguryeo and Baekje made Emperor Hyodeok very satisfied, and in contrast, the performance of Silla made Emperor Hyodeok even more dissatisfied.

Today's chrysanthemum country, under the strong influence of Emperor Kotoku, a series of government measures, although they have progressed very rapidly, the results achieved are also extraordinary.

But the contradictions hidden underneath are also very acute, and it is easy to cause contradictions and conflicts if you are not careful, causing very huge consequences.

Therefore, it is necessary to transfer these contradictions as soon as possible, and at this time, if there is a foreign war, it is the best way to divert domestic contradictions.

Emperor Xiaode is ready to teach a hard lesson, not too much, it can even be said that he is eating inside and outside Silla, and at the same time he wants to see how Datang will react?

After Emperor Kotoku threw out his own plan, it immediately sparked a very big controversy, and almost half of the people agreed with and opposed the plan.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is cautious! The prestige of the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, and there is no contradiction with my Chrysanthemum Country, for the sake of Goguryeo and Baekje, it is really unwise to rashly make enemies with it, and there is no need for this at all. ”

"That was before, and now the army of the Tang Dynasty has been stationed on Tamna Island, which can be said to be at the doorstep of our chrysanthemum country, and it is only a matter of time before a conflict arises.

Moreover, if we don't teach Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje a lesson, sooner or later they will also go further and further away from our chrysanthemum country. ”

"It's quite easy to say, the Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the soldiers are strong, the strength is strong, have we beaten them?"

"Isn't my chrysanthemum country very bad? You must not grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, His Majesty the Emperor is far-sighted, and this battle will be won. ”

"That's it! Everyone doesn't have to quarrel, although the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, but after all, it is far away from our Chrysanthemum Country, and it will not raise the strength of the country to attack our Chrysanthemum Country, and isn't there still Goguryeo and Baekje in front of us?

As long as we put the battlefield in Goguryeo and Baekje, if we fail, when the time comes, we will retreat to our homeland, and there will be the sea to block its offensive, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, how can we help me!

So there is no need to argue about this matter anymore, everyone is ready to send troops to the Korean Peninsula to help Goguryeo and regain control of Liaodong. ”

Li Zhonghua didn't know anything about the court decision of the other party's chrysanthemum country, he had just sent away the Silla envoys and Princess Wushuang, and they would go directly to the imperial capital Chang'an, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor Li Shimin was very interested in this Princess Wushuang.

After sending off Princess Wushuang and her party, Li Zhonghua always felt that he had an uneasy heart, but he couldn't think of what the reason was, so he had to stop it.

"Maybe I'm too careful, thinking a little too much." Li Zhonghua had to think comfortably in his heart.

At this time, on Tamna Island, a special guest, with a white veil on his face, boarded the Tang Army warship that was about to return to Liaodong.

This special guest was accompanied by two maidservants, a convoy of twenty men, and a few people who could tell at a glance that they were of extraordinary origin.
