Chapter 427: Dahong Dynasty
As expected, in just one month, the glass appreciation conference spread in various countries.
Someone counted the selling prices at the auction, and calculated that there were more than 60 million taels in total, a figure that made the whole world stunned.
Even the emperors of various countries were dumbfounded and envious.
Judging from the current situation, the earning power of glassware is no weaker than that of large white paper and books.
In addition, the rest of the goods and weapons sold in Cangguo are a very huge number.
Over time, I am afraid that the combined financial revenues of Chu and Ruan will be less than that of Cang.
This is a very helpless thing, in the face of the general trend, even the emperors of various countries can do nothing.
β¦β¦
Yang Mu was thinking about one thing.
Is there really a huge crisis in the Dahong Dynasty?
Should I help or not?
How can it help?
The reason why I have this idea is because just two days ago, Jin Yiwei interrogated the few people who were arrested and made trouble in the hall, and after some severe torture, the two women had very strict mouths, and they kept gritting their teeth and refused to say anything, but that man was different, a few whips went down, and everything was recruited.
They are from the Dahong Dynasty, one is the eldest princess Ji Anling, the other is the group leader Ji Qingyue, and the other is the eldest princess's fiancΓ© Zhang Zhan, the son of the Duke of Xuanguo, who was married from a young finger.
According to Zhang Zhan's confession, the Dahong Dynasty was suppressed by the joint efforts of the Daqing Dynasty and the Datong Dynasty, and there were nobles in the country who led the people's uprising, so it was in turmoil.
What's more important is that not long after Emperor Dahong ascended the throne, he could already see the appearance of a faint monarch, and the state affairs were all maintained by the efforts of the ministers of the central government, and there were factional infighting, so under internal and external troubles, the Dahong Dynasty was already alone, and even the frontier army was crumbling.
Therefore, at this time, the loyal ministers in the court proposed to send envoys to the Dali Dynasty to seek unity.
Although he was obstructed by many political enemies, in the end, he still let some of the old ministers of the royal family bring some juniors to come to experience.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the Dali Dynasty, I learned that Wang Ji of the Dali Dynasty had been divided, and the Son of Heaven had completely become a useless puppet, dispensable.
What is the use of a son of heaven who has no real power and has lost his appeal?
However, they were still unwilling, and after many inquiries, they learned that the Son of Heaven was in the Cangguo, so they wanted to come and take a look, and by the way, take a look at what the legendary Cangguo was like.
It's not that they think that Cangguo's strength is strong, but that many things in Cangguo have also spread to the Dahong Dynasty.
For example, large white paper and books, because of the simple transportation, so the nobles of the Dahong Dynasty also used them, and in terms of price, they were equal to gold.
Along the way, I heard a lot about Cangguo's deeds, and the idea of seeking Cangguo's help germinated.
Of course, they didn't want Cangguo to send troops to help, just with this little strength of Cangguo, even if it was sent to the Dahong Dynasty thousands of miles away,
Instead, I was thinking about how to get some of the military equipment of Cangguo and bring back the technology.
Once this is the case, with the background of the Dahong Dynasty, within three or five years, it will definitely be able to fight back.
It coincided with the glass appreciation conference, so let a few young people go to see it.
Unexpectedly, such a disaster was caused.
It was also with Zhang Zhan's confession that Jin Yiwei found several of his companions in Cangcheng, and some of them learned the news that they were going to escape from Cangguo, but they were stopped at the checkpoint on the Chi Road.
After Yang Mu knew these things, he also understood in his heart that a few people who had been tortured to the point of blurred flesh and blood were brought to the palace.
On the spot, Ji Anling, the eldest princess of the Dahong Dynasty, proposed to form an alliance with Cangguo.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the so-called alliance, the countries of my Dali Dynasty should know better than you, it is nothing more than watching and helping each other, advancing and retreating together, and sharing interests, and now that you have proposed the alliance, for my Cangguo, there are not many benefits to be gained, is it reasonable?"
Yang Mu unceremoniously refused, he was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that in this alliance, Cangguo only paid unilaterally, and could not get much benefit from the Dahong Dynasty.
"My Dahong Dynasty is one of the five major dynasties, and now it is under siege, almost to the end of a strong crossbow, and it will not last long, how can the Dali Dynasty be transcendent at that time?" Ji Anling sat up from the ground in shackles, and said sonorously.
Yang Mu touched his beard, nodded more than once, and said: "Indeed, this is a very annoying thing, and we also have a fable of cold lips and teeth in Cangguo, but unfortunately, I can't help you." β
"Why? I have heard for a long time that His Majesty is eloquent, don't you even have this bit of foresight? β
"Bold!" Shen An shouted on the side.
"It doesn't matter." Yang Mu waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty the princess is right, the Dahong Dynasty is located in the north of the Dali Dynasty, just a desert apart, and now the countries of the Dali Dynasty are in chaos, once it encounters an attack by a powerful and enterprising dynasty, it will definitely be powerless to parry, but it ...... Your Royal Highness the princess, don't forget, I am only the emperor of the Cangguo, and I have no right to encroach on such a major event of heaven and earth, and there is still a son of heaven in the Dali Dynasty. β
"The Son of Heaven is in name only, and now he is just a puppet of the Cangguo, why should Your Majesty pretend not to know?"
"What does it mean to exist in name only?" Yang Mu's face sank, he was very displeased, and said coldly: "The Son of Heaven is in trouble, and he has no choice but to requisition the palace of my Cangguo to live temporarily, how can he be said to be a puppet?" Her Royal Highness is not a reckless person, so don't say anything inappropriate. β
"It's the concubine who is reckless." Ji Anling said a word and continued: "In short, helping the Dahong Dynasty will benefit the Dali Dynasty and do no harm, Your Majesty should consider it carefully, it should be for the people of the Dali Dynasty." β
"Her Royal Highness is wrong again." Yang Mu shook his head: "Even if the Son of Heaven exists in name only, it is not my Cangguo's business." Your Highness, do you know that in addition to my Cangguo, there are many big countries in this Great Rite Dynasty? β
"But ......"
"It's nothing, all in all, don't you just want to empty the gloves of the white wolf? A word of alliance, just want to take my big technology, is it really easy for us to fool? β
Yang Mu's words can be described as quite unkind.
To put it very clearly, it is just that the interests of the two sides cannot be agreed.
"If my Dahong Dynasty is swallowed up, doesn't Your Majesty think that the kingdoms of the Dali Dynasty will have a chance of surviving?"
"If the technology of my Dacang is handed over to the Dahong Dynasty, and the Dahong Dynasty is destroyed, the technology will be obtained by the other two countries, wouldn't this also be a disaster for the countries of the Dali Dynasty?"
Ji Anling is completely exhausted.
Indeed, even she herself can't be sure that after getting the weapons and equipment technology of Cangguo, the Dahong Dynasty will definitely be able to turn over.
