Chapter 797: Ultimatum
Zhao Xin was dealing with the day's affairs as usual, and as the enthronement ceremony approached, Zhao Xin had more and more work at hand, and it had begun to squeeze, although he didn't want to, but obviously, the time for him to leave the Golden Garden was getting closer and closer.
As the head of a country, it is already an unexpected surprise to be able to spare ten days to spend more than ten days here in Jinyuan, accompanying Concubine Miao and her sister and spending family fun, if he just wants to be a mediocre person, he can continue like this, and he doesn't even have to do anything, with the foundation he laid for the navy, a hundred years, or even a hundred years of power, this is no problem.
In a certain sense, as long as there are no internal problems, foreign enemies are not able to invade, as the dream demon of the feudal dynasty, almost every nomad who accompanied the rise and fall of a strong dynasty, after the emergence of thermal weapons, completely became a thing of the past, in the face of thermal weapons with very high requirements for resources and wealth, the pride of the nomads has completely become a burden, and when the weapon becomes the foundation of the battlefield, the nomads have really become primitive tribes.
Even if he is not a traverser, in terms of his own mentality, Zhao Xin is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, otherwise, he would not have been admitted to Peking University from a remote mountain village.
Striving for the first is the best choice, not to mention, the Northern Song Dynasty is on the cusp, in the past few centuries, China has been ahead of this era, until the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, history went backwards, to the Ming Dynasty, has been from prosperity to decline.
At this critical juncture, at this juncture that can still be saved, his arrival must be written in the entire space, a heavy stroke, rather than a life of inaction.
Zhao Xin misses this kind of time very much, in his past life and this life, he has not experienced it well, he hopes to cherish this little time, even if he has to leave, he will delay it as much as possible.
In order to stay longer, he chose to deal with official documents at all other times, some of the less important ones, and even threw them away, but the reality told him that he had to leave in three days at most.
It's getting closer and closer to the enthronement ceremony, and if it's just a matter of dealing with it every day, it's no problem for him to stay here, but the people below work harder, or come here to report, or just run two more steps, and deliver documents back and forth.
The enthronement ceremony needs to make some demonstrations, and even some necessary links, and Zhao Xin is also needed to determine the final steps, which need to be done by him personally.
A close friend suddenly came to him and quietly told him something, Concubine Miao was coming, and at the same time informed Han Qi of the arrival.
Almost without thinking about it, Zhao Xin knew what was going on, the actions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very in place, not only did they understand where the bottom line of the navy was, but also suppressed it, so that Han Qi and Fu Bi had no other choice.
Whether it is in history, the status of Han Qi and Fu Bi, or in this era, Zhao Xin's simple communication with Han Qi Fu Bi, they are worthy of the title of important ministers, and they can stand out among hundreds of millions of people in the Northern Song Dynasty and millions of eunuchs, and their personal ability is very strong.
It's a pity, it's not that you have strong personal ability, you can already win, preparation, vision, platform, these Dinghai occupy an all-round advantage, and even if you want, you can also eavesdrop on the embassy of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The electronic products of this era are far from being formed, but eavesdropping is not about using electronic equipment, and the sound transmission function of some tubes is also very good, as long as it is amplified at key nodes and the sound is heard, there is no problem.
Zhao Xin is not a pedantic person, if he can use a tricky method, of course he will use it, and this point has always been spared, but he has not used it.
Dingjun is too young, if you don't take advantage of the time now, when you have absolute superiority, when will you have to wait until the training.
Of course, the foundation of diplomacy lies in the cannon, and the truth is within the range of the cannon, but you can't always make up for it.
Being able to force Han Qi to bow his head and make Han Qi think of using off-the-board tricks to find Concubine Miao has proved that the ability of this Ministry of Foreign Affairs is there, in this case, how could Zhao Xin be angry.
Soon, Concubine Miao came in, during this time, Concubine Miao and Zhao Xin got along quite well, called Zhao Xin is also more casual, son, letter or anything, but this time, because there is a request for people, in front of Zhao Xin, there are some hesitation, some don't know how to say.
Seeing Concubine Miao's expression, Zhao Xin smiled, on his side, all the situation is under control, the purpose of Concubine Miao's coming, he is very clear, of course he will not embarrass Concubine Miao, from before Concubine Miao did not speak, he will go straight to the point, let Concubine Miao not worry, go back and tell Fu Bi that he will agree to all their conditions.
This surprised Concubine Miao, she couldn't care about being embarrassed, and said in a loud voice, don't be too embarrassed, if it's too embarrassing, then forget it, she will find a way to refuse them.
Concubine Miao took the initiative to take responsibility, which made Zhao Xin a little moved, but this is a given, and it seems that the navy has retreated, allowing the Northern Song Dynasty to take a big advantage, but there are some things that look good.
Of course, I won't say these to Concubine Miao, but I just said that although Concubine Miao is at ease, he also wants to make peace with the Northern Song Dynasty, and these conditions are nothing to agree to.
When she came, it was Concubine Miao who looked worried, and she went back a little excitedly, and replied directly to Han Qi and the others.
Han Qi didn't follow Zhao Xin, but he didn't leave, because he was full of hesitation, he was not in the mood to watch the surrounding scenery, but now, he has already talked to Concubine Miao, no matter what, Concubine Miao, as long as she goes, it will be more or less effective, there is nothing to do now, it is not easy to come here, so simply look around.
Han Qi has seen the world, and even he has been to Jiangnan, and he has also seen Jiangnan-style gardens, which are somewhat similar to this, but they are a little different, because of the fineness, and even the visual effects, it feels better, which seems to be some kind of innovation.
Garden after garden, and while they were lingering, someone came to them.
After Concubine Miao returned to Jinyuan, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, of course, she found someone to inform Han Qi of them as soon as possible, and the order was issued.
Han Qi was playing, and suddenly someone came and told him that Concubine Miao wanted to see him, which surprised him very much, and it was only a long time before he got a reply, seeing him at this time, it must be like this, but it will not be bad news, because it is too fast.
I was a little worried in my heart, whether it would be bad news, but Han Qi still quickly returned to the door of Jinyuan, it is best to have news, listen to what the news is, and then you can make some arrangements for these news.
returned to Jinyuan again and saw Concubine Miao, Concubine Miao briefly explained the situation, without going into much detail, because Zhao Xin didn't introduce him in detail, but just said that if Han Qi went back and waited for the notice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would contact him and agree to all their conditions.
Han Qi looked at Concubine Miao dumbfounded, he couldn't say a word, all unified, so fast, would it be a lie, but in the face of Concubine Miao who said this, he couldn't say anything.
came to beg Concubine Miao, Concubine Miao also agreed, and gave him a perfect answer, he was still doubting, how to say this, say it, wouldn't it be authentic.
Han Qi was almost held in his heart, and then went back a little uncertainly, Fu Bi, who had been waiting for the news, hurriedly asked Han Qi how things were going, but Han Qi himself, the second monk, was confused, just said that Concubine Miao had already gone to see Zhao Xin, and asked them to wait for news at home.
The two of them touched like this, but Han Qi knew very few things, not to mention Fu Bi, who was separated by a layer, the two of them temporarily calculated, perhaps, this would be the prevarication of the Dingjun, as long as he couldn't contact them in a short time and sign the contract, then he had to go again.
Who knows, what the two of them didn't expect was that without waiting for Han Qi and them to take the initiative to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dinghai Navy, at noon that day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to Han Qi and them to negotiate the contract this afternoon.
In fact, whether it is Ding Haijun or Zhao Xin, they are waiting for them to find Concubine Miao, in fact, some of the previous ones will not appear at all, and a win-win situation is long-term stability.
Before the alliance between the Liao and Song dynasties, although the Liao and Song dynasties signed a contract, the Northern Song Dynasty would spend a large amount of coins every year, perhaps this money was not much in the financial system of the Northern Song Dynasty, but this was forced, not the will of the initiative, and therefore, although the Liao and Song countries did not directly go to war, they have always been in a relatively tense environment, and the confrontation on the border has not decreased at all, and the hostile attitude between the two sides is also very obvious.
For Ding Haijun, the little income he gets in front of him is nothing at all, and even under certain conditions, if he gives the Northern Song Dynasty a little benefit, he can exploit more.
For example, the export of labor services, as long as it is imported, it is very likely to be retained, talent is the most critical, the core of everything, and for example, if you really do not want to export labor services, you will adopt the method of joint investment and production, just like the United States in the future, using the cheap labor of the whole world, causing the prosperity of the United States.
When 100 million shirts can be exchanged for an airplane, this kind of labor will be exploited, in fact, it is also the path taken by the whole world, economically developed and powerful countries later, in this time of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is even more extreme.
Industry and commerce are not the products that are produced, just sell them, and the production link is only a part of the entire industrial chain, which cannot be regarded as all in the country, let alone abroad.
The price of a commodity, the price of OEM, may only be 1 yuan, but when it is transported abroad, through a series of commercial activities, it can reach 15 yuan, or even more, and those are the ones that revitalize the domestic economy.
This kind of profound thing, not to mention that Han Qi and Fu Bi don't understand, and even some officials of the Dinghai Navy don't understand, for this condition, Zhao Xin has spent a lot of effort, and even used the authority belonging to the emperor, so the final decision was made.
In the afternoon, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was still that conference hall, but there were not many people, only seven or eight people, in fact, the entire treaty had been signed, there was no need to refute it word by word, to pick out the words, those people did not need to come, but on the side of the Northern Song Dynasty, as if facing a great enemy, a large number of personnel were prepared, but it was like a fist full of strength, hitting the cotton, and he was overexerting himself.
Soon, Sun Yuexi took out a contract for Han Qi and Fu Bi to see, and told them that this was the final contract, and if they didn't agree, Dingjun would close the negotiation system, and this contract would not be discussed.
Han Qi secretly said in his heart that this attitude was not good, but Ding Haijun had never had it, what happened to make Ding Haijun actually make this decision.
It was difficult because he went to find Concubine Miao, which made Zhao Xin angry and embarrassed, and then proposed a harsher treaty.
Under the current conditions, the strength of the Ding Navy has the upper hand, whether it is economic strength or military strength, it is much stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise, the Northern Song Dynasty will not choose, sending a huge team including Han Qi Fubi, and even disregarding the rules, even Concubine Miao was sent.
Before, although the Navy was aggressive, it was still a normal discussion, the conditions were getting stricter and stricter, and there were always talks, unlike now, which directly gave an ultimatum, if this condition was harsh, whether they would agree to come down, or whether they would agree to come down, would it be a huge problem in the end.
These are all matters that need to be solved urgently, and the real breakdown of negotiations may not have much impact on the Dinghai Navy, but for the Northern Song Dynasty, it will be a huge, disastrous consequence.
When will the navy become like this, it was good to be dignified before, and it was discussed according to the regular discussion, but now, it has suddenly become nothing to talk about, and it directly began to use power to suppress people.
Holding back a wave of anger in their hearts, Han Qi and Fu Bi glanced at each other, they still want to look at the contract, the contract seems to be very well made, black, it looks like a heavy book, open it and take a look, set the specifications of the navy, simple and clear, written one by one very clearly and clearly, there are not so many clouds and foggy things.
After reading it, they were full of ecstasy, and they themselves had a half-believing attitude, but everything in front of them made them have to believe that they had achieved all the goals of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as borders, trade, and more benefits.
The core thing in this middle is that the Dinghai Navy will cooperate with the Northern Song Dynasty to build a factory, and almost most of the investment will be invested by the Dinghai Navy, and will be taught and trained to ensure that the employees of the Northern Song Dynasty can operate, and even the products produced will have buyback measures.
