Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Yang Yishen nodded thoughtfully: "Even if you know that you are a lobbyist, what you say is not unreasonable." If the current situation continues, at some point in the future, the Wahai people will definitely become a big trouble for the Central Plains Dynasty, and if they are defenseless, they will definitely pay a heavy price. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Yi in surprise, as if he didn't expect Yang Yi to have such a distant vision, how did he know that Yang Yi was the witness of "some moment in the future" in his words, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but no one didn't know the painful historical lessons of China.

Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, sir, don't go around the bend with me, the truth Yang Yi's heart is like a mirror, you better hurry up and get down to business, otherwise your family Lord Yu will be blown by the sea breeze and have a runny nose." ”

The middle-aged man bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness is a person who understands things, and the lower officials will have something to say." What we mean by Lord Yu is that now that the Great Light is in trouble, the royal family is in decline, and guarding the territory is the duty of every Great Light person. Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, looked at Yang Yi and said: "And His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are not only a subject of my Daguang, but also a member of the royal family. ”

Yang Yi was secretly amused, and said in his heart: "You fucking just said that I left the fief without permission for a capital crime, and at this time, you said that every inch of land is related to me, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”

However, Yang Yi didn't say it, but asked: "Say, what do you want for me to put such a big hat on me?" ”

The middle-aged man paused, and said in a deep voice: "The ship of the giant kun and the manufacturing technology of the weapons and devices it is equipped with. ”

The middle-aged man went around in such a circle, covering his hat and talking about righteousness, it turned out that he dared to be interested in Yang Yi's big ship, and it was not only the "Red Sun", but the construction technology of the entire ship.

Yang Yi didn't even bother to be angry, he just smiled and said, "This Lord Yu Xiangyu really dares to ask for anything!" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Xia Guan has heard of the ship of the giant kun under His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and with only one warship, he completely annihilated the entire fleet of Noguchi Xiuxiang, if our Eastern Naval Division has such a strong force, it will definitely be able to defend the territory and even set foot on the island country!" ”

Yang Yi smiled helplessly and shook his head but did not speak, from his expression, he could know that it was impossible to agree to Yu Xiang in this matter, unless he was really a fool.

The middle-aged man didn't seem surprised when he saw this, after all, weapons and equipment manufacturing technology is everyone's secret, and it is a housekeeping skill, how can it be so easily handed over to others.

I saw him continue: "If Your Highness feels embarrassed, it doesn't matter, Lord Yu said, as long as Your Highness is willing to sell some ships and weapons to our Donglin Water Division, then it will be the hero of Daguang, and the entire Yazhou and the coastal people of Daguang will remember Your Highness for generations." ”

Yang Yi suddenly realized that this middle-aged man was using diplomatic skills, first saying something that Yang Yi could not accept at all, and then retreating to the second, so that Yang Yi would have a psychological gap and be more acceptable, which was a very clever way of speaking.

Yang Yi did not refuse, nor did he agree, and said with a smile: "So Yu Xiang wants to follow the example of the Marquis of Nanguo and reach a military trade partnership with our Shuzhong?" ”

"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man arched his hand.

After Li Cen, the Marquis of Nanguo, purchased new weapons and equipment from Yang Yi, the entire Jiangnan military strength was qualitatively improved, and even reversed its disadvantage in the confrontation with Yang Jie, which was known to the world at this time.

Yang Yi smiled, slowly walked to a stone and sat down, and said, "Do you know what price Li Guohou paid in order to buy the weapons and equipment produced in my Shuzhong?" ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "The Marquis of Nanguo ceded the land of Qinzhou at his disposal to His Royal Highness, and the eldest daughter of the Marquis also married to His Highness as a concubine to show the sincerity of the alliance with Shuzhong." ”

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Since this is the case, then where is the sincerity of your Lord Yu?" Can't just rely on your words, I'll hand over our hard work in Shu to you, right? ”

The middle-aged man seemed to have expected Yang Yi to ask this, and said calmly: "Your Highness has made the governance of Shuzhong prosperous and prosperous in recent years, and the country and the people are safe, in which Shuzhong commerce and trade have played a huge role. As far as the officials know, His Royal Highness has been committed to the development of maritime trade since he took control of the Da Viet Kingdom, not only building ships, but also sending ships to explore maritime trade routes, intending to open up the entire southern coast of Da Guang with the intention of opening up the sea to the south coast of Da Guang. ”

Yang Yi blinked, nodded and said, "Well, there is indeed such a thing. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Doesn't Your Highness want to open the maritime trade of the northern route?" ”

Yang Yi's eyes lit up with interest, straightened up and said, "You mean Yu Xiang can help me open up the northern sea route?" ”

The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves and said: "As we all know, the East Naval Division of my Yazhou is the most powerful naval fleet in Daguang and even in the entire East, and the coastline of more than 30,000 miles in the north of Daguang is under the control of my Eastern Naval Division, and all the ports and canals along the entire eastern coast, there is no place where our Eastern Naval Division cannot go."

Your Highness, do we have the strength to help you open up the northern sea route? ”

Yang Yi touched his chin and fell into deep thought, what this middle-aged man said was half-true, although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was also useful.

Although he said that the East Water Division controlled tens of thousands of miles of coastline, and the ports and other ports must be bragging, Yang Yi did not want the protection of his East Water Division, but needed a name.

Daguang's shipping is actually not developed, strictly speaking, shipping is only for the government, because Daguang has clear laws and regulations, except for the official ships, any civilian businessmen are not allowed to carry out maritime trade privately, even if there is, it is also a black luck to hide from the government, which is also the reason why Yang Yi has not let the Shu merchants go north by sea on a large scale.

The reputation of the East Coastal Division on the coast of the Daguang North Line is extremely loud, and if the Haitong spy text of the Eastern Coastal Water Division can be used, it will save most of the trouble, and it is not impossible to successfully open up the northern line of shipping.

The middle-aged man saw Yang Yi contemplating his eyebrows, knowing that Yang Yi had already moved, and continued: "Not only that, just a few days ago, our Lord Yu had already obtained control of the entire Xiangjiang River from the imperial capital, including the guarding and operation of the Xiangjiang River Transport.

If Shuzhong and Yazhou are friendly with each other, our lord can ensure that His Royal Highness's Shuzhong merchant ships can enter and exit the Xiangjiang River safely. Your Highness, you should know that the Xiangjiang River is the main vein of Daguang, and through the Xiangjiang River, boats can go to almost any place in Daguang. ”
