Chapter 565: To Each His Own Business

The guests arrived one after another, and everyone walked out of the hospitality tent and came to sit outside in the open field. Guests with invitations have special seats, and those who do not have invitations sit on dozens of rows of chairs at the back, and those who can't grab a chair can only stand or sit on the floor.

Besides, looking around, there is a large area of Wuyang and Wuyang, except for those armies of the three tribes who are on a mission outside, it is estimated that almost all the people outside the camp have come.

Moreover, I saw an interesting scene, Zuo Ling accompanied the Jade Princess and her maid, Li Xiangjun accompanied the three ladies and the holy maiden, and a soft wall was built between the two teams with screens and curtains, which was also afraid that they would continue to fight.

These two people know well and know who is sitting next door, but in such a public place, it is not suitable to tear up, besides, how can Da Mingqin lose face.

In front of them, both of them think that they have a special identity, one is a sister-in-law, and the other is a self-appointed lover.

Watching the two sworn enemies sit still, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, if these two really fought, they wouldn't want to start this party, they staged the best show.

Besides, he was about to say something, but he saw Song Zhe giving him a look and gesturing below, which meant that there was an emergency to report.

Besides, he nodded, indicating that he understood.

Moreover, he presided over the opening of the party and delivered an opening speech, which could not be simpler for a talented man, he reiterated that the purpose of bringing the group this time was peace, and the court appointed him to live in permanent peace with all ethnic groups outside the country, non-interference, non-aggression, mutual respect, harmony, and never another war.

The audience below was thrilled by these words, and even the three captains who had gained prominence through war hoped that their words would become reality, and not empty words.

Although most of the soldiers were militants, the three commanders had fought too many battles, seen too many dead, and too many of their own families and relatives had died on the battlefield, and the warlike heart of their youth had long since become tired of it and had become war-weary.

The Three Ladies and the Jade Princess formed a unity on this point, and the two of them sincerely supported the idea of the situation, hoping to open a mutual market with the imperial court as soon as possible and resolve the dispute of interests through trade.

If one clan outside the Saiwai occupies an absolute dominant position and can establish a unified regime, I am afraid that no one in the sky will be able to stop the iron hooves of the Saiwai. I think Genghis Khan did it back then, and since then he has become the absolute hegemon of the steppe in no one.

The current situation is that the three major tribes of Tatar, Warat, and Uliangha are contending, and the rest of the large, medium and small tribes are trying to survive in the gap between the three tribes.

Although the Warat and Uliangha tribes have great strength, they always have a sense of crisis, and they know that this time the king of Altan is determined to start a war against the Ming Dynasty, in addition to wanting to seek peace by war and force the Ming to agree to more generous terms of trade, and then to plunder wealth and population from the interior to the greatest extent.

In addition, there is a more important point that cannot be said, the king of Altan tried to use the war with the Ming to weaken the strength of Wara Uliangha to the greatest extent, and after forcing the Ming to negotiate peace, he would suppress or even swallow the two tribes with his backhand.

This is also the plan planned by Zhao Quan for the king of Alta, and it is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy.

Zhao Quan has such a level, all his plans are conspiracy, and he doesn't play any conspiracy at all, but shows the carriage and horses in a dignified manner, just waiting for you to respond.

The same is true of Zhao Quan's plan to help the outside deal with the mainland.

On the one hand, let the king of Altan build water conservancy, reclaim farmland, and grow all kinds of grain crops, so as to reduce his dependence on grain crops in the interior as much as possible.

On the other hand, in the Tatar sphere of influence, cities were built, schools were built, and everything was done in the way of the Han people, so that the Tatars could understand the Han culture, the way of life and the psychological state of the Han people, and achieve a complete understanding of the Han people, so that they could know themselves and their opponents.

Of course, Zhao Quan's most threatening to the Ming Dynasty was his ubiquitous followers in the mainland, and the big and small affairs of the imperial court could reach Zhao Quan's ears within a few days, and even some top-secret documents of the imperial court could be placed on Zhao Quan's table.

It can be said that the inside story of the Ming court is completely transparent to Zhao Quan, and there are no secrets to speak of.

For a hundred years, the Ming court has been fighting against the outside of the country, but it has very little understanding of the economic, political and military conditions of the various ethnic groups outside the country. This can be seen from the later compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the Ming Dynasty until its own demise, the outside of the plug is in the fog, and can not poke the idea.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes were like torches, in his eyes, the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tatar tribe, and the attack of the pirates, it was not a big deal at all, but it was a disease of ringworm, and only Zhao Quan's White Lotus Sect was a problem in the heart.

Because of this, Zhang Juzheng tried his best to dispel public opinion, and even when the emperor hesitated, he refused to give in, and ruthlessly uprooted this sworn enemy of the imperial court.

According to his words, in order to ensure that the Ming Dynasty stands majestically, the south would rather ignore the invasion of pirates on the coast, and the north would rather reach a peace agreement with the king of Alta on more favorable terms, but the evil obstacle of the White Lotus Sect must be completely eradicated and will not be tolerated.

From this point of view, Zhang Juzheng deserves to be the most far-sighted and sagacious minister of the Ming Dynasty, much more clever than Gao Gong in terms of political foresight and political strategy, not to mention Xu Jie, who is just accustomed to playing with political schemes.

Moreover, after the welcome speech, he slowly stepped down from the stage, and the following link was handed over to the officials of the Great Honglu Temple to preside, and the duty of the officials of the Great Honglu Temple was to entertain the work.

Moreover, after stepping off the stage, he did not immediately go to find Song Zhe, but walked to the table one by one, and those who had tea on the table accompanied him to drink tea, and those who had wine accompanied him to drink, and each table was greeted by entertainment.

"Your Royal Highness, you lied to me, you are so ruthless." When the jade princess saw him, she complained coquettishly.

"What does the princess mean by this, how dare I lie to Her Royal Highness." Besides, there is a question mark in the mind.

The scolding of the third lady came from next door: "Slut is hypocritical, so shameless." ”

"What's the matter with you, I'm cheap, what's the matter?" The Jade Princess was not to be outdone.

"Yes, yes. Your Royal Highnesses, everyone is here to watch the singing and dancing today, not to watch the two of you fight, why don't you go on stage and perform? Besides, he laughed.

Besides, the two princesses were silent.

"Your Highness, didn't you say you couldn't do business with me? Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess say yes, didn't she just want to increase the size, and directly said that it was, why bother going around? Princess Jade pretended to be angry.

"Oh, you mean that." And that's when I realized what was going on.

"Princess Jade may have misunderstood, I said that I couldn't do business with you that day, but I didn't say that my insider couldn't do business with you, these are two different things."

The jade princess was so angry that she almost couldn't speak, these two really didn't say anything, each said her own words, not only did she have her own tone, but she couldn't help it. Zuo Ling finally agreed to do business with her, if she picks out words to refute what's more, will the business still be done?

"Okay, you win. When I get to the table, I'll have to tell those people to keep a record of every word you say. The Jade Princess gritted her teeth.

"Of course, every word everyone says during the negotiation must be recorded, and it must go down in history." Besides, he laughed.

In fact, he didn't understand the way of negotiation at that time, there were no stenographers at that time, and there was a language barrier when the parties were negotiating, so it was impossible to have any record of the conversation, but after both sides had negotiated, an agreement was signed, and the specific negotiation process and conversation were not recorded.

But besides, he thought that this was inappropriate, so he was already prepared when he came, and it didn't matter if there was no stenographer, he could send some more people to act as clerks, and one person could memorize a sentence, and finally synthesize a complete record of the conversation, and whoever wanted to overturn the case or tear up the agreement in the future could produce this evidence to refute it.

Ordinary people really don't dare to play this hand, because such a sentence by sentence record, when the final synthesis may be chaotic, it is difficult to confirm which sentence is said by whom, but besides, the memory is amazing, never forget, and the words heard will not be forgotten, at least what he wants to remember will not be forgotten.

Besides, when she arrived at the table of the third lady, before she sat down, the third lady said directly: "Besides, don't go around the bend with me, I will take over all the business you have, and this princess has nothing else, but there is no shortage of silver." ”

Besides, with a wry smile, the third lady of course means that she wants to monopolize the business with the mainland and not give Tiemu Yuhua a chance to interfere.

Besides, he is helpless, he needs a large number of medicinal materials, and it is by no means that the medicinal materials of the Tatar clan can meet the demand, his demand is a bottomless pit, the more the merrier, the more the merrier, there is no upper limit at all.

"Sister-in-law, let's talk about this slowly in the future, it's important to watch the song and dance today." Besides, he laughed.

"There's no need to talk about it, no matter how big your business is, I'll take it, and it doesn't matter if the price increases, whatever you want." The three ladies said with frost in their eyes.

Besides, he smiled helplessly, these two people really had a deep enmity, and the third lady would rather throw silver out than block the way of the Jade Princess.

But think about it, these two people led their armies to fight because of jealousy, and almost caused a full-scale civil war between the two clans.

"Okay, that's it." Besides, he said yes.

"You really agreed?" The three ladies turned their anger into joy, and their pretty faces opened like flowers, and they were a little stupid to look at.

"Of course, it's a deal." Besides, he laughed.

"Your Highness, you don't count." The resentment of the Jade Princess came from next door.

Zuo Ling hurriedly motioned for her to be silent, and then made a gesture, indicating that it didn't matter, and the business had not changed.

The Jade Princess was still indignant in her heart, but for the sake of the huge share of business, she still held back.

Princess Jade knew that her business with Zuo Ling would be restricted, and it was unlikely that she would be able to buy contraband recognized by the imperial court, but it was bitterly cold outside, and all kinds of materials were in short supply.

China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the main crops are only suitable for growing in the interior, not outside the fortress, otherwise the emperors of the past dynasties would not have guarded the Great Wall, and they would have been out of the customs to unify the outside of the fortress.

The reason why none of the emperors of the previous dynasties made up their minds to unify the outside of the Saiwai is because it is difficult for the people in the interior to adapt to the life outside the Saiwai, if the population in the interior is migrated to the past, they cannot afford to raise more, and it is not cost-effective to have less, so they have to send a large army to protect it, and the army needs the supply of grain, grass and materials from the interior. In this way, occupying the outside of the fortress will not only cost the people and money, but also exhaust the material wealth and vitality of a dynasty, which is really unworthy.

The territory outside the country is three times that of the mainland, but the people are less than a quarter of the people in the mainland, because the land can only feed so many people.

Of course, this is due to the lack of technology, and the underground treasures outside the plug have not been fully explored.
