Chapter 517: Helpless Choice
Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Ziyan and just watched. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, he is waiting for Zhao Ziyan to make a statement.
Since Zhao Ziyan wants to talk, the current Zhao Shuo is waiting for Zhao Ziyan's choice and trade-off.
In fact, the trade-off has already been decided. Last time, Zhao Shuo had already said that if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to increase the proportion of shipbuilding, it would have to exchange Shu land.
Now that Zhao Ziyan has mentioned this, then Zhao Ziyan should understand what they will lose.
Zhao Shuo was silent, but Zhao Ziyan couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth and said. "Lord Wang, last time you said that you could exchange Shu land for the shipbuilding ratio of the Great Song Dynasty? Is this still a good thing? ”
Zhao Shuo nodded. "Although it was said casually at the time, since it was said by this king, it naturally counted."
After a pause, Zhao Shuo squinted his eyes and asked Zhao Ziyan with a smile. "Lord Zhao, do you really want to exchange Shu for the proportion of shipbuilding? Is this a big deal? Would you like to ask about my uncle? ”
Zhao Shuo's words made Zhao Ziyan a little surprised, but more shocking.
It stands to reason that the proportion of exchanging Shu land for a shipbuilding, no matter how you look at it, is a loss for the Great Song Dynasty. But Zhao Shuo's words revealed a trace of unhappiness. This seems to be so abnormal.
But this kind of abnormality soon became normal here in Zhao Ziyan. Because, he thought of Zhao Shuo's secret letter that was inadvertently exposed. A secret letter about the Indian Ocean.
A new continent has emerged overseas, and a new country has emerged, and the land area there must not be comparable to a Shu land. Zhao Shuo was worried that the Great Song Dynasty Navy would develop and be able to compete with him and compete with him overseas, so he regretted what he said at the beginning.
But after all, it is a prince, even if you regret it, you have to admit it if you say it, after all, as a prince, you have to have an image.
Especially Zhao Shuo, who said that he was the prince, in fact, there was no difference from the emperor, the king had no jokes, if he said it, he could change it every day, and his reputation in the future would be really hard to say.
If Zhao Shuo wants to maintain his image, he can only let Zhao Ziyan say that he recognizes the shipbuilding ratio of the three parties and does not exchange Shu land for the shipbuilding ratio, which is the best result.
Zhao Ziyan thought about it for a long time, and then smoothed out his train of thought, and he said categorically. "The prince said last time that Shu land can be exchanged for the proportion of shipbuilding, which should be true."
Zhao Shuo smiled a little embarrassed. "The words were said by this king, but Brother Zhao can't be the master of this matter."
Zhao Shuo was like this, which strengthened Zhao Ziyan's thoughts. He smiled and said. "Lord Wang, this negotiation, including the matter of Shudi in exchange for the shipbuilding ratio, Your Majesty has given me full authority, so I can call the shots in this matter."
"Shu is connected to Qinling on this side, Dali is connected to Dali on that side, and it is not far from the Li Dynasty, if the Great Song Dynasty gives me the Shu land, then after that, this king will form an encirclement of the Great Song Dynasty from the north, west, and south." Zhao Shuo stared at Zhao Ziyan. "This is not a trivial matter, please Brother Zhao think twice. Otherwise, if I go back to the Great Song Dynasty and let my uncle not be able to explain to the people of the world, he will kill you. ”
"Hahaha......" Zhao Ziyan laughed. The prince is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the increase in the prince's fief is also because the prince has made great contributions, which is understandable. I don't think there's anything about it. The shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty is developed, if it is compressed, it will be a loss for the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After a pause, Zhao Ziyan continued. "Besides, the overseas world is so big, if there is no strong water army, wouldn't you miss something."
Zhao Shuo's face flickered, and the pages next to him were crumpled and folded. "In that case, let's sign a contract."
Subsequently, Zhao Shuo asked the crowd to get paper and pencils.
"Lord Wang, don't be in a hurry to write, I still have something to ask Lord Wang." Zhao Ziyan stopped Zhao Shuo, who had already picked up the pen.
"Brother Zhao, is he going to regret it?" Zhao Shuo smiled at Zhao Ziyan.
Zhao Ziwei waved his hand. "The prince misunderstood, I just wanted to ask the prince what is the proportion of this Shu land in exchange. How is the ratio of our three parties distributed? ”
"The tripartite ratio is 5:3:2, and now the Great Song Dynasty exchanges Shu land for a certain ratio, which is naturally 4:4:2, and the number of shipbuilders of this king and the Great Song Dynasty will be comparable in the future, is this still to be discussed?" Zhao Shuo said.
"Huh...... Lord Wang, I don't think this ratio is right, and it should be discussed again. Zhao Ziwei said with a smile.
"What, is it possible that the shipbuilding ratio of the Great Song Dynasty is higher than that of this king?" Zhao Shuo threw down the pen he was holding. "If that's the case, the king of Shu doesn't want it......"
Before Zhao Shuo's words were finished, Zhao Ziyan had already spoken. "Lord Wang, I didn't mean that."
After seeing Zhao Shuo calm down, Zhao Ziyan explained. "The ratio of the prince is five, which has been discussed a long time ago, and naturally it cannot be reduced. Therefore, the prince is still five. ”
"This king is five, and the Great Song Dynasty is also five, so what about Mongolia? They are your allies! Zhao Shuo already knew what Zhao Ziyan meant, but he was still pretending to be confused at the moment. There are some words and some things, Zhao Ziyan brought it up, and it was much better than him saying it.
"Lord Wang, that's not right." Zhao Ziyan said. "The proportion of the prince's shipbuilding is five, the Great Song Dynasty is three, and Mongolia is two, this is what we have discussed, how can we change it."
Seeing Zhao Shuo's puzzled expression, Zhao Ziyan continued to explain. "There is no doubt that the ratio of the three parties has been decided. And we're going to talk about something else. Because the Great Song Dynasty was dissatisfied with the proportion of shipbuilding, it exchanged Shu for the proportion of shipbuilding. In order to achieve the same situation as the prince. That is to say, the five of the shipbuilding ratio of the Great Song Dynasty is not the five discussed by the three parties, and the newly added two is exchanged for Shu land. If Mongolia feels unfair, it can naturally exchange land for a new shipbuilding ratio. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ziyan looked at Zhao Shuo, the meaning is obvious, I finished explaining, do you understand.
Zhao Shuo nodded, then laughed. "I see. That is to say, I am still five, and after the Great Song Dynasty, it will also be five, and Mongolia will still be two, right. ”
"Yes!" Zhao Ziyan said.
"Hehe......" The corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth rose, and then he stretched out his thumb to Zhao Ziyan. Lord Zhao is amazing, amazing, this king admires, admires it so much. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo picked up the pen and wrote. The gist of the contract was that the Great Song Dynasty exchanged Shu land for the shipbuilding ratio of two, and the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao Shuo would have the same number of shipbuilding each year in the future.
After writing, Zhao Shuo handed the contract to Zhao Ziyan. "Lord Zhao, take a look, if you have no opinion, let's sign and stamp."
Zhao Ziyan took the contract, and after reading it, he nodded. "The prince has good penmanship, it is really a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing......"
Zhao Shuo was speechless, he knew his own calligraphy best, and Zhao Ziyan's praise and sarcasm made him really uncomfortable.
"No comment, just cover it." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo took out the seal ribbon and stamped the big seal on the contract.
