Chapter 647: Rebuilding the Silk Road
"Boss Manba, Liang Yi buries the prime minister!"
Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "This official is Wang Ningan, and I came here this time to talk to the two of you." ”
Saying that, Wang Ningan sat in front of the two of them, and specially chose a comfortable position.
Hearing him report to his home, both of them went crazy and clenched their fists.
You are Wang Ning'an!
It's all your doing, the old man is fighting for his life, and he wants to kill you! He took a step forward and wanted to make a move, but Liang Yibury on the side stopped him.
"You!"
Liang Yi didn't speak, but looked up and looked not far away.
Just above the wall, dozens of crossbow arrows were aimed at them, daring to move Wang Ning'an, and directly shot them into a hornet's nest.
"Hehehe, two, don't be impulsive, the country fights, you can't rely on will. Just like you, you are full of conspiracies and tricks, and you have to plot against the king and the old minister, what is the result? Let me tell you, the Great Song Dynasty is full of anger, and the five-year-old children on the street know that you are a group of bad guys, and when you grow up, you will enter Xingqing Mansion and capture Li Liangzuo alive. Alas...... This official is really worried about you, if it goes on like this, the results of Western Xia will not be good! ”
Liang Yibury and Manba's faces were very ugly.
"Wang Xianggong!" Liang Yi buried and said loudly: "You are a hero in the world, if you have any intentions, you might as well say it directly, get straight to the point!" ”
"Okay, I don't want to waste my time." Wang Ningan crossed Erlang's leg and said: "The compensation of 5 million guan must not be bad, without this money, we can't explain to the military and civilian people of the Great Song Dynasty." Now everyone is shouting and fighting, and everyone wants to fight. As a result, the imperial court let go of Western Xia for the money of the two jujubes, so where is the face of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Wang Ning'an's words changed, "But this official also knows that Western Xia is barren, except for war horses and green salt, he can't take anything else, and he can't force one or two million people to die, so this official has thought of a compromise solution, do you want to know?" ”
There are 10,000 people who don't believe Wang Ning'an, Liang Yi rolled his eyes, and said slightly: "Wang Xianggong, please advise." ”
"That's the case, the Hexi Corridor is in the hands of your country, the Silk Road is broken at the moment, the trade between China and the West is isolated, the Great Song Dynasty has too many good things waiting to be sold, and there are also jewels and spices in the Western Regions, which want to be transported to the Great Song Dynasty. You Western Xia are just guarding the traffic points. If we can reach a cooperation between the two sides, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty will be trafficked to the Western Regions through the Western Xia for sale, and the toll of the goods will be shared between the two sides in proportion. The money you earn is used to pay the reparations. In this way, Xixia does not have to pay with his own annual income, and the Great Song Dynasty can get the compensation it deserves, which is really a double win. ”
After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he smiled slightly, "This is also the final limit of the Great Song Dynasty, if you still don't agree, then needless to say, Di Xianggong's men and horses are ready, and when the time comes, the jade will be burned and the blood will be shed for thousands of miles, and the official really doesn't want to see it!" ”
Wang Ning'an said that he was compassionate and full of compassion.
It's just that Man Baa and Liang Yi are not stupid, Wang Ningan proposed this plan, what kind of calculation did he make?
Manba was older, and he knew very well that before Li Yuanhao raised troops, the Great Song Dynasty and the party departments still had trade, and every year they resold the silk and tea of the Great Song Dynasty to the Western Regions, which could get a lot of benefits.
After Li Yuanhao's rebellion, the Great Song Dynasty banned the trade of Western Xia, and they didn't even have enough for their own use, let alone resell them to the Western Regions for a profit.
Claiming that the emperor founded the country, it looks very majestic, but as people know how to drink cold and warm water, the party departments have also paid a lot of price.
If it is really as Wang Ningan said, they can open up the Silk Road and resume trade, they can earn some money and improve their lives, which is definitely a good thing.
But everyone knows that in this world, the Song people are the best at doing business, and Wang Ningan is the best among the Song people......
Seeing these two people, you look at me, I look at you, looking like your IQ needs to be recharged, Wang Ningan simply stood up and said with a smile: "Weigh it yourself, within 5 days, get an idea, if you agree, the Great Song Dynasty will send a messenger to Xingqing Mansion to finalize the details." ”
Wang Ningan walked to the door and added, "When the talks are over, those iron harriers can be put back." has been staying on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, although we are merciful and generous, but the people below hate them too much, and if they drag on for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be deaths, injuries and illnesses, and if we are put back, we will not be able to go to the battlefield. ”
The last words were so angry that the two of them were about to faint!
This is to take 800 iron harriers and threaten them!
The two men fell into deep thought......
"Congratulations, sir, another big victory!"
Su Banniang congratulated with a smile, reached out to take off his coat, and hung it on the shelf.
"How much do you plan to earn?"
Wang Ningan chuckled, "As long as Xixia nods, you can earn back two thousand miles of territory!" ”
Su Banniang stretched out her thumb, "The master is amazing...... By the way, just now Jia Xianggong sent a letter, hoping that our two families will get married as soon as possible, he can't wait to meet the next generation, looking forward to the four generations in the same house! ”
Wang Ningan took the letter, looked at it twice, and threw it aside.
"This old man already has a great-grandson, even if Ning Ze has a child, it is also the Wang family, what four generations are in the same house! It has nothing to do with him! ”
Su Banniang said with a smile: "That's what Jia Xianggong said, it's almost!" ”
"Sir." Su Banniang lowered her voice, "The marriage between the Wang and Jia families is not a trivial matter, Ning Ze is your own brother, and he definitely can't weaken the name of the Wang family, we must handle it well, and we must be beautiful, otherwise, people will say that we can't do anything." ”
Wang Ningan hugged his knees, thought about it, and sighed, "Damn! It's going to be cheap again! Reply to Jia Changchao, it is the Silk Road Bank mentioned at the beginning, he has eyebrows, this time as long as he takes Xixia, he will have a chicken that lays golden eggs, and if he gets it right, he can take back Xixia! Tell him to take care of his health, live a few more years, and don't let the surnamed Wen pick up the cheap! ”
Su Banniang couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw her husband's puffed up. Obviously I have thought about it in my heart, why bother to be unforgiving? Su Banniang didn't care about that, she immediately replied to Jia Changchao on behalf of Wang Ning'an, writing very politely and humbly, so that Lao Jia could get ready, and a big business came to the door.
……
Five days passed quickly, and Man Baa and Liang Yi finally nodded.
They can't do it if they don't nod, Li Liangzuo has already sent wills in succession, asking for peace talks to be successful, and if they delay any longer, Western Xia will not be able to hold on.
The emperor was in such a hurry, they couldn't do it without nodding.
After the final discussion, the Great Song Dynasty sent Sima Guang, the secretary of the household department, as the chief envoy, and Lu Huiqing as the deputy envoy, and went to Western Xia to negotiate together.
They were accompanied by a large procession of more than a hundred people.
The leaders are Wu Shicheng and Xiang Hao, both of them are the first to follow Wang Ning'an, and this time they went to Western Xia, and the stakes were very high, and they also followed.
Along the way, the momentum is fierce, and it is completely a winner's gesture.
When passing through Yan'an Mansion, Di Qing sent three thousand iron horsemen to follow the guards and go straight to Western Xia, and Sima Guang came to Xingqing Mansion as a messenger for the second time.
After a few years, Xingqing Mansion has hardly changed, it is still simple and dilapidated, and people's expressions are full of panic, Lu Huiqing only glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"The pearl is dusty and eclipsed, and such a good Hetao Plain is really a waste for them."
Wu Shicheng smiled faintly, "Lord Lu, this time, aren't we just going to take this pearl back!" ”
Lu Huiqing smiled brightly and said confidently: "The teacher has taught for many years, but I can't weaken his reputation!" ”
Western Xia is not qualified to be like the Great Song Dynasty, hanging the messenger.
The day after arriving at Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo summoned Sima Guang and Lu Huiqing in his palace.
said that it is a palace, it is not as good as the prime minister's mansion of the Great Song Dynasty!
After the ceremony, it quickly went straight to the point.
"Your country needs to compensate the Great Song Dynasty for the loss of 5 million guan, considering your country's financial resources, the compensation can be divided into two parts, 300,000 guan from your country's annual income, and the other 200,000 guan is compensated from the trade tax.
Sima Guang just gave a rough outline, and he had already handed over the detailed things to Manba and Liang Yiburi, and both of them also gave them to Li Liangzuo.
These days, Li Liangzuo gathered important ministers and painstakingly studied this plan.
To be honest, the elites of Western Xia didn't see too many problems, on the contrary, they felt that this plan was really good!
Originally, the Silk Road was cut off, and the Western Xia only needed to agree to the transit of goods, and they could get the tolls, which was equivalent to picking up for nothing, and taking the benefits of picking up for nothing, and repaying them to the Great Song Dynasty, it seemed that there was nothing to lose?
Sima Guang They expected that the most difficult part to talk about was the part of the trade route, who knew that this was actually the first to pass, the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Western Xia were fixed on those iron harriers, as well as their equipment, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to return it as soon as possible.
Vision determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the height...... The economics of the Western Xia monarchs failed...... Lu Huiqing and Sima Guang both read the thick mockery in each other's eyes.
They remained silent and deliberately argued with the Western Xia, and in order to make trivial matters and not give in to each other, they delayed for a month before the two sides officially signed the credentials.
On the same day, the Great Song released 200 Iron Harrier captives and returned their weapons and horses.
In the face of these 200 people, Li Liangzuo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!
"Wait, as long as all 800 people are returned, the Iron Harrier is rebuilt, and the strength in my hands is restored, what bullshit! Don't care! Li Liangzuo's young face was full of hideous smiles, with the cunning of a fox and the ferocity of a wolf!
This is Western Xia, not the Great Song Dynasty!
I won't tell you about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith!
We'll see!
Li Liangzuo was ruthless in the palace, but he didn't know that in the pavilion of the Song envoy, there were many party nobles, manba, and other nobles came, they were very low-key, but their eyes were full of expectation.
"Merchants crossing the border, need to rest, taverns, restaurants, warehouses, carriages and horses...... The demand is unlimited, you can take the opportunity to enclose the land, hurry up, such a big piece of fat, if it falls into the hands of others, but you will regret it! Lu Huiqing grabbed the luminous cup, drank the grape wine in one gulp, and said with a smile: "You have to seize it to get rich, a once-in-a-century opportunity is in front of you!" ”
