Chapter 281: Trade
Zhao Han looked at the preliminary draft treaty, glanced at Lin Lan, and said, "It's good that you're in charge." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Heh, Weichen doesn't dare. Since the Holy One is presiding over the peace talks, he will definitely try his best to facilitate them. "Lin Lanye understands that if the internal affairs of the Dajing Dynasty are like this now, it will undoubtedly make it worse if they want to make a big move, so that the people will be displaced and starving, even if it is a short-term peace, it will not be easy to come by.
Zhao Han put down the fold and said, "Trade and trade, this barbarian is short of materials, what can he trade?" It's not that they are provided with food, grass, and ordnance, and when the time comes, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will not be able to make a rake. ”
"Since it is trade, it is naturally an equivalent exchange. As for what should be sold and what should not be sold, the Holy One can send someone to be responsible for managing it. ”
Zhao Han smiled: "But is it necessary for me?" Could it be that there is still a shortage of a few leather jackets for him to wear? ”
"There is really a shortage of saints."
"Huh?"
Lin Lan said: "Where did the leather jacket come from? ”
"Naturally, it is flayed from sheep."
"In order to exchange for food, those herders naturally have to raise sheep, and when there are more sheep, they naturally eat more grass, and correspondingly, there are fewer horses. Once there are no horses in this grassland, the cavalry of Great Xia will become chicken ribs, doesn't the saint think this is not necessary? ”
Zhao Han's pupils shrank, Lin Lan's idea was really feasible. Once sheepskins became the main circulation of trade, the herders of the steppes were bound to raise more sheep. At that time, the grassland will be barren, and the horses will have no forage to eat, and the barbarian cavalry will not be so terrifying.
"Well, that's a good idea, but you can't get out of it. Well done this time. ”
"Thank you."
Zhao Han smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, there is something that has been done, I will promise you to hand over the six doors to you!" ”
“……”
Lin Lan felt that he had entered Zhao Han's trap, which originally broke Huyan Minglie's problem, and felt that these six doors were already within reach, but until now, there was no letter, and now he had to do one thing to hand over to him, Lin Lan didn't know how tricky this matter was.
"What? Don't want to? Zhao Han frowned, looking at Lin Lan bowing his head and saying nothing. For Lin Lan, he had used enough patience to trade like a businessman, and the rewards he received were much more than those guys in the court who were loyal on the surface and secretly filled their pockets, so he spared no effort to carry out the transaction.
"The Holy Lord's command is so." Lin Lan was a little helpless, can she say no?
Zhao Han nodded and said, "Check the matter of the pagoda of Huangming Temple." ”
Lin Lan looked up at Zhao Han, could it be that Zhao Han also suspected Prince Liu? This is interesting, the nephew suspects his own uncle?
Zhao Han said lightly: "Don't make a noise about this matter, the old emperor's uncle supervised the construction of the pagoda, if he knew that I sent someone to investigate, he would definitely be dissatisfied, and it would be difficult to block the mouth of the people in the world at that time." ”
"The Holy Meaning ......"
"Secretly investigate, behind this pagoda, there are those people who are making trouble, although I am not afraid, but once the peace talks are done, those sneaky people above the government will be wiped out."
Lin Lan's heart sank, and she stood on the side and didn't speak, it seemed that some people were going to be unlucky.
Zhao Han rubbed the eye points in the corners of his eyes and said, "Stand down, I have read the terms of this peace negotiation, and I have approved it." ”
"Yes, Holy." Lin Lan withdrew from the palace.
How to talk about it next, it is Yang Weili and Wang Yan, the two old foxes, and Kou Nan are maneuvering, Lin Lan is drinking tea on the side, listening to the three old men coming and going.
"Trade is okay, there has to be a price code, right? We don't accept your Great Xia currency! Real money! ”
Kou Nan said with a beard: "Silver and gold are scarce in Great Xia, if you follow this method, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it for a few years, and I won't have any gold or silver available in Great Xia." ”
"Anyway, your copper coins are categorically uncirculating, what shoddy style, if it doesn't work, then don't trade it."
Konan snorted coldly. The copper coins of Great Xia are naturally not so fine, in fact, there are not so many trading items between nomads, and each household can be self-sufficient, so this copper coin is naturally not used.
Lin Lan smiled: "In this way, then barter." ”
"That's doable."
Yang Weili agreed: "That's right. The price of trade will be negotiated after the Holy Lord of your country has signed a treaty and the two sides have withdrawn their troops. Now that the peace talks have come to an end, what else does Kou Guoshi want? ”
Kou Nan understood that it would be difficult to achieve what he wanted from Dajing in terms of the delicate relationship that had just been established, so he said: "This envoy is a complete success, and after this treaty is approved by the lord of our dynasty, we will be able to cultivate harmony together." ”
Yang Weili smiled and said, "That's the best." ”
In fact, everyone knows that the peace in exchange for this is only short-lived, and whoever is immersed in such a whitewashed peace will eventually be slowly poisoned.
These days, he has been dealing with the affairs of the Great Xia Mission, Lin Lan has not even returned home, and as soon as he heard the good news from the Lin Mansion, he immediately got into the carriage and rushed back.
"Knives, hurry! Faster. ”
"Master, this is a horse, not a bird, no matter how fast it is, it can't fly." Fu Xiaodao was a little speechless.
Ping'er in the car saw Lin Lan's nervous appearance, so she comforted: "Don't be too nervous, master, there should be no problem with a stable woman to take care of you." ”
"When was it, why didn't you tell me earlier? This thing is delayed. ”
"Madame was worried that the master's big thing would be ruined, so she didn't let me say it, and she didn't let me come to find the master until the second lady returned to the house to see her."
Lin Lan scolded with a smile: "Is it important to have a baby for this big event?" I'm also confused, this is counting the day is coming, hurry up! ”
After all, he was going to be a father, and Lin Lan was so excited that if she hadn't been sitting in the carriage, she would have jumped up excitedly.
Before arriving at the Lin Mansion, before the car stopped, Lin Lan jumped out of the car.
"How's it going? How's it going? ”
The old housekeeper who was waiting at the door saw Lin Lan coming back, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." The lady gave birth, the big fat boy, and the mother and son were safe. ”
Hearing this, Lin Lan's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said, "Take me to see it!" ”
The Lin Mansion was full of congratulatory voices. When the busy subordinates saw Lin Lan's striding meteor, they also covered their mouths and chuckled, but they didn't expect that there was something Lin Lan was anxious about.
Walking into the West Chamber, seeing the swaddling clothes that Wang was holding in his hand, and looking at Tanchun who was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his hands for Yingchun, Lin Lan slowly walked over and said, "How is it?" Are people okay? ”
Seeing Yingchun's somewhat pale face, he shook her hand and said slowly: "It's me who is not good, I am busy these days, and I have forgotten such an important thing." ”
Yingchun was a little weak, smiled faintly, and said: "I know that the officials are busy with state affairs these days, so I don't let the people in the house say it." ”
Tanchun said: "The official has long said that if my sister is about to give birth, no matter what happens, I must tell the official." It's good that I came early today, otherwise the officials would have been in the dark. ”
Lin Lan said: "Really, it's still too late. ”
Wang smiled: "Okay, this weird thing comes and goes, don't you look at your big fat son?" ”
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, I almost forgot." ”
The crowd laughed. Lin Lan took the swaddling clothes from Wang's hands, and when she saw the baby whose eyes were still closed and her face was still folded with flesh, she said with a smile: "Why are you so ugly?" ”
Wang said a little unhappily: "How do you speak, when you were born, you were uglier than this, your mother was still happy to hug and coax, now you feel ugly?" ”
Tanchun said: "Official, these newborn children are like this, when they grow up a little and their eyes open, they will be cute." ”
Yingchun glanced at Lin Lan and said, "What's wrong with being so ugly?" If the son doesn't like the ugly mother and the dog doesn't like the poor, can I still dislike my ugly son? ”
“……”
Lin Lan saw the women's army in the hall who were firing at him with their guns in unison, and was immediately defeated, and said, "I just said it casually, do you need to care?" ”
"Hehe, the official should hurry up and give him a name."
Lin Lan smiled slightly, saw the baby sleeping soundly behind the swaddling clothes, and said, "The name has been thought of a long time ago." It's called seeing joy. I was very happy to see it. ”
This year, we were very happy to see each other. (End of this volume) (To be continued.) )
