Chapter 037: Give a lot

"First, I will open Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Wenzhou as special zones, and try out laws similar to those of the empire in the local area, and allow imperial merchants to invest and set up factories, and the tax will not be higher than that of the local Song people. www.biquge.info With the abundant capital of the imperial merchants and the sea trade routes, coupled with the cheap labor and raw materials of the Great Song Dynasty, these goods could be quickly sold everywhere and occupy the local market. This move not only created tax revenue for the Great Song Dynasty, but also made another big profit for the empire. Hong Tao put down the crab in his hand and stretched out a finger that was stained with crab roe and fishy.

"Yes, it's a win-win, it's good for the Empire, but that's not enough." Yi Yi didn't have to think about it carefully, he knew that what Hong Tao said was not a fool, but also very practical. Once the merchants of the empire were able to set up factories freely in the land of the Great Song Dynasty without going through any intermediate links, the cost of almost all goods would drop significantly. This was of great benefit to both the trade strategy and the national grand strategy of the Golden River Empire. But compared to a war that had been prepared for five or six years, this was clearly not enough.

"Second, the merchants of the Jinhe Empire were eligible to participate in the bidding for public construction projects promulgated by the Great Song Dynasty, and the bidding process was all public, and the imperial government could send officials to participate in the whole process. I don't think the Prime Minister of Iraq will be tempted by this promise alone, so I'll talk about something practical. Starting next year, the Great Song Dynasty will build a coastal road from Lin'an to Guangzhou, which will be connected to the original highway along the river. In fact, the largest construction site is not in the south of the Yangtze River but in the north of the Yangtze River, think about it, just how many cities need to be built, river embankments need to be reinforced, water conservancy needs to be dredged, roads need to be repaved, and whether the imperial merchants will be busy is a question. And the imperial merchants do not have to worry about how the Great Song Dynasty pays the remuneration, most of these projects will adopt a joint venture model, which is jointly developed by the imperial merchants, the Great Song Dynasty merchants and the Great Song Dynasty. "Just opening a few coastal cities obviously can't satisfy the Jinhe Empire, and Hong Tao didn't expect to throw three melons and two dates to send the Jinhe Empire away as a flower, so he stretched out a second finger, and there were some crab shell crumbs stuck to it.

"Your Majesty's promise, can it come true? As far as I know, these interests are very wide-ranging, and sometimes the imperial court cannot make decisions. Speaker Wang was a little tempted, and the second condition thrown by Hong Tao was really moving. The benefits of these infrastructure construction are not small, nor can they be completed in a year or two, this is a long-term cooperative relationship, not only beneficial to the imperial economy, but also to make it easier for the imperial power to penetrate into every field of the Great Song Empire. In layman's terms, from the perspective of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hong Tao's behavior is a traitor.

"No diamonds, no porcelain work! Since I agreed, I will say that it will be done, and the speaker is questioning my credit, right? Or are you questioning my character and thinking that I am going to put my son to death? Hong Tao began to roll his eyes, this kind of detail should be the content of the negotiation between the imperial minister and the vice premier of the Great Song Dynasty, and too specific things should not be discussed in the negotiation of the emperor's grade. The leaders have done their work, and they have to use their subordinates.

"Dad, talk about the conditions, don't sow discord. You taught me this little trick when I was ten years old, and you made me go to school to experiment with it, and it's not new at all. Hong Jinhe hated his father's habit of talking with sarcasm and trouble, and couldn't help but protest.

"If you can really sign a formal agreement, I think you can consider it...... I would like to ask you, Your Excellency, if you have any other ideas? Yi Yi was not only listening to Hong Tao, but also staring at Hong Tao's eyes, he wanted to see what Hong Tao was thinking in his heart from these two windows of the human heart. These two policies alone have almost stripped the Great Song Dynasty away, could it be said that the old emperor ran back after all the hard work, and he really planned to give a gift to his son? It doesn't make sense!

"Third, we can sign a regional defense pact between our two countries for limited military cooperation. For example, the Great Song Dynasty could provide a military port for the Royal Navy of the Jinhe Empire near Dengzhou, allowing the Royal Navy to send a certain number of warships to station. Another example is that the Great Song Navy could be reduced to a large number of people who could reduce the size of the navy to a number that was not large enough to threaten the empire. Hong Tao's third finger came out again, and in terms of length, each finger he stretched out was longer than the last. In terms of content, the conditions he gives each time are more favorable than the last. If the first two times were suspected of betraying the country, the third time is Chiguoguo's betrayal, and even national defense has been sold.

"......" Hong Tao said very easily, but Hong Jinhe, Yi Yi, and Speaker Wang couldn't even speak after listening to the third condition. The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Hong Tao who is eating with his cheeks, and there are only big eyes left.

If it were according to the three conditions set by Hong Tao, it would really be too difficult for the Jinhe Empire to fight the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty, which was robbed by costing money, people, and time in the form of war, can only bring the benefits to the empire. The Jinhe Empire wanted to rule the Great Song Dynasty, not for the territory here, but for the population and market here, to put it bluntly, to make profits. Now you don't have to fight to get these benefits, why not? The question is whether what Emperor Hong said is true, even if the three high-ranking imperial officials present understand Hong Tao's personality, they don't dare to draw conclusions, this matter is too involved.

"Look, as soon as I came up, I cried and shouted for benefits, and now that I'm giving it to you, I'm dumbfounded again. I said that you are also managing a huge empire, can you have a little bit of interest, don't be like a turtle you have never seen before, and you will be blind when you encounter something? I haven't finished talking here, listen to my fourth ......" Hong Tao enjoyed the feeling of being stunned, especially when there was a son who always thought he had grown up and had stiffened wings. Then you have to sell your strength, so that the kid knows why he has to call himself Dad!

"Your Majesty, do you want to come again with a crab...... Let's sum up the three firsts? "Yi Yi didn't suffer once under Hong Tao, so he didn't have any scruples about being shameless, so he simply didn't have a face, chatting with this old emperor, his face was the biggest flaw, and he was often caught and ravaged.

"Don't eat crabs, I'll go squat for a while, you can sum it up casually, and if you don't understand it, you can ask Premier Wen." But time is short, and I'll have to give me an answer when I get back. "can go to the toilet halfway through the dinner table to make room for the stomach, except for Hong Tao, who is shameless and relies on the old and sells the old, it is estimated that there is no one. In another person, Hong Jinhe could order him to be thrown into the sea, but in the face of his father, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"Wenxiang, we are also old acquaintances, although we have different political views, we don't have any personal grievances. When I was a minister in the imperial government, I had great respect for you......" As soon as he saw Hong Tao gone, Yi Yi immediately came to life and began to pour ecstasy soup on Wennan. Compared with Hong Tao, Wen Nan is much easier to deal with, he wants to find the answer from Wen Nan, why Hong Tao sold Da Song so cleanly, this is not logical!

"Prime Minister Yi, since we are all so acquainted, there is no need to say these words again. This matter has nothing to do with me, I just followed the teacher back to realize my dream. You may not understand this, but when you reach our age, you may be able to understand it. But the conditions he said were all true, and there was no false component. The Golden River Empire has always been his child, even if he has a second or third child, it is impossible for him to think of harming the first child, there is no need for this, and there is no reason for this. He just didn't want the children to fight each other, but whenever possible, he wanted to follow his philosophy and let the children get along in a gentler way. Can I understand what I'm talking about by Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor? In fact, don't think that you have picked up a big bargain, my teacher has never done a loss-making business in his life. The more he gives you, the more he asks, don't worry, listen slowly. "Wen Nan has been in the Great Song Palace for more than a month, and he has been reborn again, and many thinking patterns have changed. Now that he is no longer the very ethical Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, it is difficult to fool him by taking advantage of some of his original shortcomings.

"I don't know what His Majesty wants?" Hearing Wen Nan's warning, Yi Yi was a little relieved. He is not afraid of the exchange of interests between Hong Tao and the empire, this is the normal state of state-to-state exchanges, everyone can talk about any conditions, cooperate if it is suitable, and cooperate if it is not suitable, it is very simple. He was afraid that Hong Tao would not reciprocate, and if he didn't talk about interests and just feelings, this thing would be too troublesome. Because this way of doing things is not in line with common sense, the ancients didn't pass by, and there must be demons in abnormal things.

"I don't want much at all, don't be afraid, this deal is only profitable for the empire, even royalist parliamentarians can't find any mistakes, whoever doesn't pass is the destroyer of the empire, I believe there is no such person." Hong Tao is rectal, and he goes and comes back quickly.

"First, I need the empire to provide me with a thousand grassroots management cadres, including government management, taxation, commerce, agriculture, engineering construction, army, and navy. This is only the first batch, and it must be fast, and it must be delivered to Lin'an within a month. There should be a second batch, a third batch, until I have enough. Their term of office is for a period of three years, and after three years, they have the right to ask to stay in the Great Song Dynasty to continue to serve in office, and the empire cannot force them to return to China, nor can they leave the Great Song Dynasty to cause artificial trouble. While walking to the table, Hong Tao stretched out another finger, which obviously had some yellow color, even if everyone knew that it was something in the crab shell, but when he remembered that the owner of this finger had just come out of the toilet, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, and made up his mind that these crabs on the table belonged to Hong Tao, whether he had touched it or not, he couldn't touch it.
