Chapter 541: The contract is completed
"Lord Wang, the minister still has a question, that is, the ...... over there in Xiliao" Wu Yashi was grateful for Zhao Shuo's words, but there were some things that he was still very worried about. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that Wu Yashi wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Shuo said. "If you have difficulties, just say it, don't say it now, find me something at a critical time!"
"Lord, although Xiliao has surrendered to us, we don't have many troops there, and we don't completely control there, now send people to the early arsenal, even if there are Xixia soldiers and horses to help, the minister is still worried." Wu Yashi replied.
Zhao Shuo patted his head and said with some annoyance. "Oh, when the military advisor said that, it reminded me of something."
Wu Yashi didn't speak, but quietly waited for Zhao Shuo's next words.
"Strategist, it seems that after I came back, I forgot to canonize Liaodi." Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly.
"Ahh That's a big deal! Wu Yashi's face became solemn. It's already unstable over there, if something happens because of this......"
"There will be no accident, after all, there are more than 20,000 of our troops there, and all the Liao troops in Liao together will not be able to beat my 20,000 army." Zhao Shuo said with great confidence.
"Lord Wang, what should we do now?" Wu Yashi asked.
"What else can I do!" Zhao Shuo shook his head. "Canonized."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo asked Wu Yashi to draft a decree to canonize Liaodi Xiaota Buyan as Liaohou, and all the soldiers stationed in Gaochang left the most basic guard force and evacuated Gaochang City. All the soldiers of Liao were assembled, all the cities were withdrawn, and the military power of Zhao Shuo was handed over to Wu Yashi. As for the diplomatic power of Liaodi, Zhao Shuo handed it over to Wu Yashi.
"Lord Wang, this ......" Wu Yashi was a little flattered.
"Strategist, you and I have been long enough, and you have made countless contributions, these kings remember it, this time I handed over the military power and diplomatic power of Liaodi to you, don't think it's a good thing, this is not a trivial matter." Patting Wu Yashi on the shoulder, Zhao Shuo continued. "Liaodi wants to promote new laws, new schools, and encourage business, all of which have to be negotiated with Xiao Ta Buyan, you remember, in addition to the major events of the war, as well as the appointment and dismissal of personnel in Liaodi, you can make decisions about everything else."
Except for Zhao Shuo, who held a little power to control Liaodi, the rest was handed over to Wu Yashi and Xiao Ta Buyan. But compared with Xiao Ta Buyan, the head of the Liao land, Wu Yashi's full strength is obviously greater. This is also Zhao Shuo's affirmation of Wu Yashi.
Wu Yashi was deeply moved this time, he knelt on the ground, and expressed his inner admiration and gratitude to Zhao Shuo.
Early the next morning, Wu Yashi took Zhao Shuo's holy decree to cover the Great Seal and went to Liaodi in person. His retinue consisted of twenty or thirty men, and these were the skilled craftsmen whom he had selected from the arsenal overnight. This time he traveled to Liaodi, where Wu Yashi was going to find a reasonable address to set up an arsenal.
A few days after Wu Yashi left, Li Yuanhao, who returned to Western Xia, rushed back to Chang'an.
After Li Yuanhao saw Zhao Shuo, he immediately couldn't wait to take out the contract of Li Qianshun of Western Xia with the big seal, and the contract was put in front of Zhao Shuo's eyes, Li Yuanhao said with a smile. "Lord Wang, this is a contract, our Emperor of Great Xia has agreed to the proposal of the Lord Wang, everything is according to what the Lord said, after we build the ship, the goods we bring back will be ten or thirty percent, which is regarded as the rent handed over to the Lord Wang."
"Brother Li, I thought of something!" Zhao Shuo did not sign and seal immediately, but shook his head slightly.
"Lord Wang, you can't go back." This time, Li Yuanhao was anxious. The construction of a port to enable the Western Xia to obtain a naval army is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Western Xia. Therefore, as soon as Li Yuanhao told Li Qianshun, Li Gan directly agreed by the way. I didn't even listen to Zhao Shuo's conditions. This contract was according to what Zhao Shuo said, Li Yuanhao directly wrote it and handed it to Li Qianshun, Li Qianshun directly stamped it, and then Li Yuanhao brought it back to Chang'an.
Now Zhao Shuo's attitude makes Li Yuanhao very worried, if Xixia finally rejoices in the end, it will not only affect the relationship between Zhao Shuo and Xixia, but he, the envoy of Xixia and the king of Xiping, may also come to an end.
"Oops, regret what!" Zhao Shuo glanced at the nervous Li Yuanhao and said with a smile. "When did this king break his word?"
Seeing that Li Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Shuo continued. "I talked about the problem of the port last time, but Xixia is quite far from the shore, so it is also a big deal to transport. This way's checkpoint tax, this king will exempt you from it, it is inevitable that some businessmen will fish in troubled waters, it is inevitable, and I feel sorry Brother Li, I forgot to say this at the time, and now I don't know what to do. ”
The more Zhao Shuo spoke, the more frowning he became, and finally his brows were completely twisted together.
Li Yuanhao thought about it for a while, according to what Zhao Shuo said, the lease of the port is about three to five million taels of silver a year, and now Zhao Shuo agrees to offset the lease fee with 30 percent of the goods, which shows that the price of the goods is higher than the lease fee.
In other words, the goods transported in a year, to say the least, must be 10 million. According to the analysis of the news heard by Li Yuanhao, Zhao Shuo's cargo ships generally go to sea twice a year, so if you calculate it, the goods brought back by each sea are almost 5 million.
In addition to 1.5 million taels, there are 3.5 million taels of goods in Western Xia, and Zhao Shuo encourages business here, so the commercial tax is not much, and the goods transported from the coast to Western Xia will not exceed 200,000 taels of tax silver.
In Western Xia, there were still 3.3 million taels of goods, and after they were sold, they could at least double. In this way, Xixia can still get more than 10 million vehicles twice a year.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanhao frowned slightly, and then said. "The prince has already made huge concessions, this time, I Xixia have made concessions, and we will pay the taxes on the road."
After finishing speaking, Li Yuanhao took back the contract that was placed in front of Zhao Shuo, and then took the brush from the table, brushed a little bit, and added taxes to the contract.
After writing it, Li Yuanhao put the contract in front of Zhao Shuo again, and Bing made a gesture of please.
"Is that all right?" Zhao Shuo's face was suspicious. "It's not a trivial matter, don't you need to go back and talk about it?"
"Don't worry, this contract is absolutely valid, I, Li Yuanhao, hurry up here to write it, and when I return to Western Xia, my Emperor Daxia will agree." Li Yuanhao said very domineering this time.
"Okay, since Brother Li has said so, if the king is talking about something, it is indeed a bit of that." Zhao Shuo took the brush, wrote his name on the contract, and then stamped the ribbon.
"That's it!" Zhao Shuo handed the contract to Li Yuanhao. "Brother Li can take people to choose the port, when will the construction start, this king fully supports."
