Chapter 036: Eat and Drink Well

"New Kingdom! Where is it? Hong Tao's answer was beyond Yi Yi's expectations, during this period of time, the imperial high-level also discussed this issue more than once, and all possibilities were considered, but he didn't expect Hong Tao to come up with a new kingdom that did not belong to Asia, Europe, and Africa. The amount of information in this answer is too large www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, which directly disrupts the rhythm of Yiyi's negotiation.

"Hey...... I can't tell you that there are still many places in the world that you don't know. If it weren't for coming back to save the Great Song Dynasty, I would have planned to retire in my kingdom. There are many other acquaintances there, such as Swan, Qi Zu, Wen Xiaoqi, the Mercy Couple, and Governor Mai's family, all of whom are currently kings, and each of us has made a small kingdom to play with as kings. It's a pity, people are not as good as the sky, I have no blessing to endure this kind of paradise-like little life, I was born to be a donkey's life, I have to pull another after pulling a mill, and eventually I have to die on the edge of the mill. "Hong Tao doesn't plan to tell the imperial government about the specific location of the Americas now, but he can't say anything about it, so he can only avoid the important and simply talk about it.

"That's the case......" Yi Yi was temporarily occupied by such a large amount of information, and he didn't have time to think about other problems, so he had to look at Hong Jinhe.

"Why do you have to come back to stop the Empire from attacking the Great Song? Could it be that it is not good to let the Great Song Dynasty also cancel its privileges and become a part of the empire like the empire? Under the management of the empire, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will only live better, isn't this what you have always advocated? The only people who suffered were the Great Song Emperor and those court officials, and I don't think you should have a good impression of them. Hong Jinhe immediately took over the topic and began to question his father's actions from the motive. If Hong Tao can't explain this problem, it means that Chengxin is against the empire, and this question is also what many people have always wanted to ask, why did this old emperor care so much about the Great Song Dynasty.

"Child, your father and my ancestors were Han Chinese, and the Great Song Dynasty is the only country dominated by Han people. You may not know very well that your father and I took the Tan family overseas to establish the Jinhe Empire, with the purpose of changing the Great Song Dynasty and making it get rid of this situation of being oppressed by other countries and become a powerful and powerful country. That's why I advocated that the Royal Navy go north to help the Great Song defeat the Mongol Empire, and I never advocated the use of force against the Great Song Dynasty, because that would go against my original intention. In addition, what you said about helping the Great Song Dynasty become rich and strong, I don't doubt the result, but the process is too bloody, you are taking the lives of millions of Song people as a price, I don't agree with the use of this too crude way. Now that I have a way to get there without bleeding too much, I might as well give it a try, you say? "Regarding the question of the Great Song Dynasty, Hong Tao has been avoiding it before, and now he is not telling the truth, not because he doesn't want to say it, but because he can't say it, he can only continue to make it up.

"Prime Minister...... I'll call you Your Majesty, get used to it. The empire was built by you, and the rules of the empire were made by you, and you should know better than anyone else. It's not that Jin He doesn't want to fulfill your wishes, it's not that we have to go against you, as you just said, Jin He is the Emperor of the Empire, and he and we have to think about the Empire. If we cannot convince the Imperial Government and Parliament on this matter, it will be of no use to all three of us. After Yi Yi and Hong Jinhe finished speaking, the speaker raised another question, and the three of them planned to engage in wheel warfare.

"Jin He, Yi Yi, do you see it, it's still Speaker Wang's high level, and he gets to the point in one sentence. It's not good for anyone to get up early! I ran so far, pinned my head to the belt of my trousers and desperately wanted to change the Great Song Dynasty, could it be said that I didn't want to benefit at all? That's nonsense, realizing one's own ideals is the greatest benefit and gain. You are all familiar with me, and you should know my style. In whatever I do, I will not eat alone, as long as it is beneficial to achieve the goal, even if the other party is an enemy, I am willing to share it conditionally. Specific to the issue of the Great Song Dynasty, I am not only willing to share benefits with the Jinhe Empire, but also ask for the Jinhe Empire. Therefore, please rest assured that Speaker Wang, and Prime Minister Jinhe and Yi can also rest assured that the empire has a lot of interests on this issue. Although it is not as happy as the direct pleasure of the full occupation of the Great Song Dynasty, it can get a lot of benefits without spending a single soldier, and it is not a loss, is it? ”

Don't talk about three mouths, even if there are three more Hongtao, you are not afraid. He has a lot of quid pro quo in his hand, and taking out any of them is extremely tempting to the Jinhe Empire. To be precise, the Golden River Empire has a very heavy merchant flavor, it is like a big company in itself, everything that is beneficial to it is a good thing, and it is even better to be able to pay less and get more.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what benefits the empire can have if it loses the Great Song Dynasty?" The speaker is a cheerful person, and he has one thing to say, and he has all the things that Hong Jinhe and Yi Yi can't say out of his mouth.

"Lose the Great Song? Speaker Wang, I have to criticize you, as the supreme officer of the Imperial Council, you are a bit short-sighted! If this matter is handled well, the Jinhe Empire will not lose the Great Song Dynasty, but become the most important partner of the Great Song Dynasty, and will never abandon that, do you want to hear my idea? "Talking about things with Hong Tao, it's easy to fall into his rhythm, not how strong his negotiation skills are, nor how big his aura is, but that he has too many merits and too wild ideas, so people have to follow.

"Daddy, let's be serious, don't fool us like children. None of us can control this matter, so why aren't you in a hurry at all. Hong Tao's current situation Hong Jinhe looks familiar, Yi Yi is no stranger, and Speaker Wang is even more familiar, when the old emperor's hair was still black, he used this state to tirelessly nag in the parliament, the government, and the army, and said many things that people originally disagreed with as the truth. The Imperial Parliament, government officials, and leaders of various ethnic groups all knew a rule, and once Emperor Hong entered this state, it would be a little unstoppable.

"Boy, how do you talk about this? When your father and I talk about serious things, when are we not serious? Before I finished speaking, you knew that I was going to fool you, so tell me, what am I going to fool you? "Just about to start the speech, he was interrupted by his son, Hong Tao was very angry, which was too disrespectful to himself.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, Your Majesty, listen to what the Prime Minister has said, I believe that Premier Hong is not here to tease us, please, we will listen." Seeing that the father and son were about to enter the fight mode again, Yi Yi, who had been silent, finally freed up his brain.

"The Jinhe Empire is an exporter of products, culture, and technology, and many products need to be digested by the largest market of the Great Song Dynasty; At the same time, it is also a consumer of products, the empire's products are not rich, from food and drink to minerals, all need to be imported, the nearest product export, is also the Great Song Dynasty. If the empire enters the Great Song Dynasty in the form of an aggressor and a ruler, I believe that the final victory must be the empire's, but the Great Song Dynasty is not without the slightest power to fight back, and if the two sides want to fight and die, they will also have hatred. The culture of the empire was completely different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, and some port cities along the coast may have been more smoothly accepted by the empire after so many years of cultural invasion by the empire. But in the interior, the empire will encounter great resistance, and I am afraid that the problem will not be solved without killing the heads of people. If this happens, the empire will inevitably spend a lot of strength in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a short-term station, and it is necessary to make long-term preparations, which are all costs. If the empire puts its main energy on the Great Song Dynasty and does not get a good return in a short period of time, then it will have to re-establish a new military force in overseas territories out of its own pocket, which is a huge expense. I'm sure the Empire can afford it, but I have a better way to make it a similar benefit for the Empire at no such cost. I said if we can have dinner, Premier Wen and I set off from Lin'an in the morning and ran away for a day, and we haven't eaten much seriously until now, how about chatting while eating? ”

How to grasp the rhythm of the conversation Hong Tao was very clear, first put forward an idea, let these three high-ranking officials of the empire taste it, and when they felt that they wanted to eat, then throw out the dry goods, the effect would be better. At the same time, it is not my forte to talk dryly like this, and it is more conducive to my own way of talking while eating, drinking, and chatting. I heard that Jinhe has caught a lot of crabs for himself, this is fresh, it must taste good, you must try it.

Dinner came up quickly, the crab is a thing that can be eaten by steaming it in the pot, and it is simpler to Hongtao here, and you don't even need to dip the ingredients, just eat the original flavor. It is also not assisted by any tools, one mouth is pliers, and one pair of hands is eight crabs. And he only eats two crab claws and the meat in the crab shell, and does not eat anything else, because there is little meat in those places, which is troublesome and does not conform to his habits.

"Son, you have to learn from Prime Minister Yi and Speaker Wang. Look at the two of them, although they also have a stomach problem, they can calm down, unlike you who can't eat steadily. But today I have to thank you, I can eat a meal prepared by a child in this life, and I am also content. This is the truth, don't blame your father and me, it's not that I don't care about you, but the way I care is different from others, you may or may not understand in the future. Okay, come, son, let's have a drink, and then I'll continue. Hong Tao hadn't finished eating a crab yet, so he couldn't eat it anymore, because Hong Jinhe was sitting next to him, and he basically didn't eat much with a lawsuit, and he drank just one bite at a time. If he went on like this, he would have to sneak under the table before the crab was finished. It's hard for no one to be hard for their own son, and this son is still very good.
