Chapter 100: The Secret Conversation in the Temple (End)

"The people of the Qin State are only hundreds of thousands, how can they supply the demand for restaurants? Why don't I send some people from each of the Song and Tang dynasties to share one or two for the Qin State? Even if Zhao Kuangyin knew that Qin Guo would hold the wine party to the end, he still wanted to fight for it again, so he returned to the previous topic

How could Ying Xuan not know Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts, and flatly refused, "I'm bothering King Song, it's just that the steps of making wine are quite complicated, and my Qin people have many years of experience in brewing this wine." If you want to teach it again, it's quite troublesome..."

Zhao Kuangyin still refused to give up, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, the three kingdoms are long-term cooperation, Qin is a small country, and the supply is inevitably a little difficult, Tang Guo doesn't say it first, my Song State can send 10,000 experienced workers to help Qin State produce." ”

Hearing this, Ying Xuan frowned tightly, Zhao Kuangyin was still holding on here, it was too insincere. If Zhao Kuangyin was really so calculating, Ying Xuan would rather find other collaborators, even if it was Chu State!

"Since King Song knows that this is a long-term cooperative business, he must know that things need to be done step by step. If you want to do business in various countries, it will take at least ten years and eight years. Ying Xuan believes that ten years later, Qin has the ability to bear it alone! While speaking, Ying Xuan not only expressed displeasure at Zhao Kuangyin's insincere calculations, but also revealed a trace of ambition!

Zhao Kuangyin is such a character, he immediately heard the deep meaning of Ying Xuan's words, but he was silent. Fang Cai's words, Ying Xuan had already blocked the words, if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to continue talking, he was questioning Qin Guo.

At the very least, this cooperation will inevitably fall apart, and at the most large, there will be a gap in the covenant between the three kingdoms from this moment on!

"Good boy!" Zhao Kuangyin scolded in his heart, but his face pretended to be indifferent, and he stopped with a smile and said, "What Master Xuan said is very true, it is lonely!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin finally relented, the displeasure on Ying Xuan's previous face suddenly dissipated, and he replied respectfully, "In the future, if the business of Drunken Immortal Building grows bigger, and the Qin State cannot afford to produce it, it will definitely bother King Song again." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with a smile, and changed the topic: "I don't know what the second condition Xuan Gongzi said?" ”

Seeing that he had successfully bypassed the first topic, Ying Xuan did not have any smug look on his face, and said, "Since the three kingdoms of Qin, Song and Tang have signed this covenant, Xuan hopes to make this covenant more conformable. ”

"The country of Qin is barren, thinking about its top and bottom, but it is only the land of ten cities. Salt and iron are scarce, and horses are scarce. Ying Xuan hoped that the Tang and Song dynasties, as allies, would trade salt and iron, horses, and grain with Qin every year, each with a million silver! ”

This condition was also decided by Ying Xuan after thinking about it for a long time. Originally, Ying Xuan wanted to buy it from some smugglers, although the price was a little higher. But it was found that the iron mine, whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, was controlled by the imperial court. There are some salt merchants and grain merchants, Ying Xuan has talked one or two, and he is willing to pay three layers higher than the market price, but he is refused. There is no other reason, although these traders bribed the family to get part of the supply, but the imperial court has long had a policy, if there are traders who sell these strategic materials to other countries, it will be regarded as treason, once it is found, the nine clans will be wiped out!

Zhao Kuangyin was happy this time, and directly agreed, "If the Qin State is strong, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be strong." However, for an annual order of one million taels, my Song Kingdom can sell it to the Qin State at a price lower than the market price. ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't seem to care about this second condition, the materials provided by the Tang and Song dynasties every year only added up to two million silver taels, and there were a large number of materials in the coastal areas of the Song Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom was in the Central Plains, and the resources were not a problem. The total amount of domestic trade in the Song Kingdom has exceeded 30,000 taels every year, if it were not for Zhao Kuangyin's proposal of a large number of preferential policies in order to develop commerce, resulting in only a few hundred thousand taels of commercial taxes in recent years. According to the tax of 30 draws originally formulated by the Song State, the annual business tax can reach 10 million taels.

On the contrary, the Qin state was only a county, and the land was barren and resources were scarce, so if it wanted to play a role in the great war a few years later, material support from the Tang and Song dynasties was indispensable. Therefore, even if Ying Xuan didn't mention this, Tang and Song would take the initiative to provide supplies to the Qin State. Ying Xuan made a request here, but he was afraid that at that moment, Tang and Song would bring some harsh conditions.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin readily agreed to the second condition, Ying Xuan didn't want to say the third condition, because the third condition was really unreasonable, and it could even be said to be excessive......

In the end, Ying Xuan still said the third condition under Zhao Kuangyin's slightly puzzled gaze.

"Third! Ying Xuan hopes that all the branches of Zuixian Building will be managed by my Qin State, and Song and Tang only need to dredge up the relationship and distribute dividends every year. When he said this, Ying Xuan shook his head at Zhao Kuangyin, and his head was almost lowered.

He knew that once he raised his head, he could see Zhao Kuangyin looking at him with an angry face.

"Master Xuan, it's not dark yet, why did you start talking in your sleep? If Song Guo doesn't interfere in the slightest, how to check the account book and how to distribute dividends? Xuan Gongzi didn't plan to rely on the Qin State to decide? ”

Looking down, Ying Xuan heard a gloomy voice in his ears. Ying Xuan had long expected Zhao Kuangyin to ask such a question, so he looked up at Zhao Kuangyin, intending to explain.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were full of gloom, staring at Ying Xuan deadly, and he took the lead in speaking, "Although my Song Kingdom is not a big country, not everyone can be bullied!" ”

"If the Qin State is not sincere, even if the prospects of this business are good, my Song Kingdom is not rare!"

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's unspeakable anger, Ying Xuan secretly cursed in his heart, "Old fox!" ”

As an emperor, how can he show his joy and anger on the surface? Zhao Kuangyin can also be regarded as the emperor of the Kai Dynasty in China for thousands of years, and the emperor's skills and scheming are naturally not shallow. Fang Cai's words are undoubtedly to tell Yingxuan the value of Song Guo.

Without the Song Kingdom, it would be difficult for the Tang Kingdom to support itself. At that time, even if Yingxuan had a grand plan, it fell apart in an instant.

If the Qin State is more stupid and cooperates with other big countries, it will be tantamount to luring wolves into the house, and there is always the possibility that the secret recipe will be embezzled.

Ying Xuan had long expected Zhao Kuangyin's anger, and replied with a flat face, "King Song has misunderstood!" Ying Xuan just felt that if the three countries were jointly managed, it would inevitably be complicated by many people, and it would be difficult to coordinate in the event of differences. If they are bought by others and cause losses, there is no way to investigate, and they will only be suspicious of each other. ”

"If the King of Song is not worried about the account book problem, he can set up a Song embassy in the Qin State, which is not only convenient for mutual contact, but also can carefully check the annual entry and exit of the Zuixian Building. The annual dividend can be calculated according to the amount of wine, and the wine that has not been sold out will be counted on the head of my Qin State. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face softened a little after hearing this, but it was still heavy, after all, if he really did what Ying Xuan said, Ying Xuan would still be able to earn a lot of silver taels from it, after all, the wine in the Drunken Immortal Building was too rare, and it was the most popular among the powerful.

Moreover, the latest news that Zhao Kuangyin knows, Zuixianlou has begun to create a new way to make profits, such as fighting chess, fighting poetry, fighting wine, fighting talents, seeing things and treasures, and so on......

Drunken Immortal Building also welcomes talented people to go, even if they are shy, relying on their own talent and knowledge to compete with others, they can also ask for a table of wine, a pot of wine, and two dishes.

With the fighting game, Zuixianlou naturally opened as a dealer to give those powerful people a chance to spend a lot of money.

In Zhao Kuangyin's opinion, Zuixianlou's move is wonderful. Not only can you earn a lot of money, but you can also recruit a lot of aspiring scholars. Just this point, Zhao Kuangyin can't let go easily.

"What Master Xuan said is very true, if Gu Ruo agrees, presumably King Tang will also agree." After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "It's just that if the people of the Tang and Song dynasties are not in the Drunken Immortal Tower, I am afraid it will be difficult to deter all countries, and I only hope that Gongzi Ying can guarantee the interests of the Three Kingdoms at that time." ”

Ying Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, he had long expected that if he didn't cut off a piece of meat, Zhao Kuangyin would never let go easily, and said, "King Song can set up embassies with King Tang in various countries, and if there is a problem in the Drunken Immortal Tower, King Song might as well let the embassy help him." ”

Zhao Kuangyin had heard Ying Xuan mention it before, but he thought it was an institution that was convenient for checking accounts and reporting in a timely manner, but now that Ying Xuan mentioned it again, he couldn't help but be puzzled and asked, "I don't know what this embassy is?" ”

Ying Xuan immediately explained in detail to Zhao Kuangyin that the role and benefits of the embassy were the same as those of the embassy in later generations.

After listening, Zhao Kuangyin thought highly of Ying Xuan's insight in his heart, but his face showed a helpless look, and said, "Xuan Gongzi really thinks highly of Song Guo, Song Guo has few talents, and he is really powerless." After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Ying Xuan with an unchanged face, as if waiting for him to make an offer.

Ying Xuan already knew it in his heart, but he made a look that was difficult to give up, Zhao Kuangyin saw Ying Xuan's expression, and felt a little comforted in his heart.

In the previous discussion, Ying Xuan has been taking advantage of him, and now he has finally won back a city.

After a while, Ying Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "There must be a lot of people with ambitions in Song and Tang, and Xuan is willing to share the sixth-floor bonus of the Drunken Immortal Building with Song and Tang!" ”

Even though Zhao Kuangyin practiced Qi cultivation kung fu very well, after hearing Ying Xuan's words, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath, and his eyes became hot. Zhao Kuangyin's voice was even lowered, but this time he did not suppress his anger, but the excitement in his heart!

"Xuan Gongzi may represent the Qin State?"

With confidence on his face, Ying Xuan replied, "You can!" ”

"Good! Lone immediately sent a secret letter to the Tang King, and jointly sent a letter to the Yuan, Jin, and Western Shu countries to discuss embassy matters, as for the Liao State and the Chu State..."Zhao Kuangyin's face showed embarrassment, in front of the Chu State, even the Tang and Song Dynasty were difficult to straighten their waists, not to mention that the ministers of the Chu Court all took the destruction of the Tang and Song Dynasty as the first step in the revival of the Chu State, and Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to send a letter to the Chu Emperor, which would undoubtedly bring humiliation on himself.

And the Liao State is not to mention, the Song State only took down the Hainan Pass of the Liao State a few days ago, and even captured it in Shuiyang County. The Liao State is gritting its teeth and trying to retaliate. If the embassy is really established in the Liao State, I am afraid that on the day when the Liao State goes to the Song State, the embassy will be sacrificed to the military flag.

"King Song rest assured, Ying Xuan has already been in contact with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, and they are willing to pull the strings for the Drunken Immortal Mansion in the Chu State. If the Longteng Chamber of Commerce can't withstand the pressure of the magnates of the Chu State, the King of Song and the Tang Dynasty will use the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce to exert their strength. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since Master Xuan has already made a decision, Lone can rest assured!" ”
