Chapter 453: Exchange (6)

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness Elizabeth is interested in fishing?" , Ouyang Xuan looked at Dongfang Xu's busy figure on the lakeside fishing platform and suddenly asked.

"Fishing? Interesting, can you fish here? ”

"Of course, how could such a beautiful place be without anglers. Haha", Ouyang Xuan smiled heartily and led everyone to the fishing platform. Fishing in the morning is indeed not a good time, is there any kind of flattering person around Ouyang Xuan, if there is, he will be driven away or killed by Ouyang Xuan as soon as possible, so this early morning fishing will naturally not have any gain. Dongfang Xu looked at the calm lake, shook his head and said to Ouyang Xuan, "Your Majesty, let's go back." The sun has just come out, and the fish is not yet ready to feed, so I am afraid that it will only be exposed to the cold wind here. If you want to fish, it has to be noon or mid-afternoon, which is not the right time."

"It's not okay, it's not right, I just like this leisure time. Fishing is secondary, oh yes, has the Wess ever been here? ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Sizhi is now in Pudong, Shanghai. A few days ago, Mrs. Yongguo had to call Wei Si to call her own affairs, and she was specially ordered not to inform His Majesty. Presumably in trouble, his subordinates also sent a team of people to secretly assist in protecting."

"How's his injury? Don't move the injury, leave it behind."

"Back to Your Majesty, where did I wait for such a delicate place, plus now that my medical skills are so good, I have already recovered. Even now there is no problem in going to war, and the members of the guard regiment and the Cheetah team who are now injured have now returned to the team and resumed training."

"Well, that's good. Take my token and order the third squadron of the Cheetah team and the Shanghai Concession Administration of the Secret Affairs Division to cooperate with the Wei Si to do a good job of the old lady's affairs, and if there is an urgent need, the Wei Si can take full power." After speaking, Ouyang Xuan took out a golden jade token and handed it to Dongfang Xu. Dongfang Xu took the token and was stunned for a moment, then understood, smiled slightly, saluted a military salute, and retreated. Ouyang Xuan was able to take out the token at this time, indicating that he already knew Wei Yu's whereabouts in advance, but it was difficult to say anything because Elizabeth was present. As a close confidant of Ouyang Xuan, Dongfang Xu also understood that either he or Wei Yu would report the situation to Ouyang Xuan as soon as possible, Wei Yu suddenly went to Shanghai, how could he not inform Ouyang Xuan, but because there were foreign guests present, it was not easy to say it directly, so he acted in this play.

Ouyang Xuan and Dongfang Xu spoke in Chinese, and Elizabeth was also confused, so she turned around and found Alexei and asked him to translate it. Only then did he look at the lake in disappointment, and said to Ouyang Xuan: "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor, since this time is not suitable for fishing, it is better to go back and have breakfast, my subordinates will have deeper negotiations with your country today."

"The matter of negotiation can be handed over to the ministers, and that's it, what our country wants is resources, what you want is land, and as for the ownership of the Turks, I have made arrangements, let them return to the place of origin and continue their original lives. As for the northern ice and snow wastelands, it doesn't hurt if you want to. It was originally a place to be abandoned, but now it has also become an ideal place for Chinese prisoners to escape, and it is also a place where illegal trade and smuggling are active, and the manpower and material resources invested there every year consume a year's tax revenue of the three economically medium states."

After listening to Alexei's translation, Elizabeth asked with wide eyes: "How much is a year's tax in a medium-sized state?" ”

"Two hundred and seventy billion Chinese dollars, that is, two billion billion gold coins," Ouyang Xuan said slowly.

Elizabeth listened to the translation and stood up. "A medium-sized state's tax revenue alone is 2.7 billion gold coins? God, that's more than the sum of Russia's taxes in a hundred years, and our taxes in Russia are only three million gold coins a year," Elizabeth said, a murderous look appeared on her face. Ouyang Xuan saw this clearly, and said with a smile: "Haha, this is just a state's tax, nothing to make a fuss about." But since you want to give it to you for nothing, you have to compensate for something, and this is what the vassals want to negotiate, I don't know if it's right? ”。

"Well, well, it is indeed necessary to make some compensation, we Slavs are accustomed to the cold, and it is more suitable for us to survive, and it is indeed a bit desolate for the wealthy Chinese, which will inevitably breed sin and terror." Elizabeth still agrees with this, the desolate snowy wasteland is indeed the best breeding ground for Tibetans and evil, and if you want to manage it, you can't manage it, and it will threaten the world outside the wasteland.

"Since Your Highness agrees with me, then the area north of the 60th parallel can be exchanged, and as for the other regions proposed by the mission, it is a bit excessive."

"Please think about this for Your Majesty the Emperor, but what we propose is to border the Qing State, because your country has always been limited to our country's goods, which cannot meet domestic needs, and European countries have quite a lot of opinions on this. Therefore, after consultation, China and European countries jointly agreed that if China does not fully open up the trade of goods, then the sea and land passages to the Qing Dynasty and India will be opened, and China is at the node of the land passage, so there is today's visit to China. After that, we will have negotiations with other European countries on the goods route with China, and if the negotiations fail, we will not give up the right to start a war", Elizabeth said in an unusually firm tone after listening to Alexei's translation. Ouyang Xuan bowed his head and was silent, he knew the intentions of these countries, and he also knew what the consequences of such a would be, but now Huaxia was really unable to take care of that wasteland, and now even the Qing people entered there through the false border in the north and started the smuggling trade.

The population of Changlin County has plummeted to less than 100,000 people, and they are all Mongolians, and the tunnel that crossed the Shoulder Strait, which had flourished for hundreds of years, has long been deserted, and the cities on both sides of the strait are now only in ruins, and every year they have to garrison them, patrol, crack down on fugitives, and maintain infrastructure.

Just when Ouyang Xuan looked at the lake and was distracted, Elizabeth continued: "We may not be able to defeat your country in war, but we can drag your country down. As long as the God Emperor agrees to our plan, the bargaining chips for exchange are also quite generous."

Ouyang Xuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but silently turned around and instructed the guards beside him: "The herald prepares breakfast, invite the Qing ambassador here, I want to surprise them."

When Alexei finished translating Ouyang Xuan's words, Elizabeth's face immediately became gloomy, he knew Ouyang Xuan's intentions, and did not speak again. Handing over the fishing rod in his hand to the soldiers of the guard regiment, he got up and left the lake with Ouyang Xuan.

The ensuing negotiations were extremely difficult, and Huaxia proposed that in addition to anti-gravity materials, there would also be gold compensation. At the same time as the negotiations, all the armies of the Yulin Army were dispatched into the ice field to participate in the relocation of the Camille base, and the negotiations were just to buy time for the relocation of the Camille base. When the ambassador of the Qing State listened to Ouyang Xuan's demarcation plan, he twitched himself several times. After making sure that it was not a dream, he resigned and returned to China to ask for a holy judgment.

According to Ouyang Xuan's discussion with the cabinet and the inner government in front of the palace, it was decided to return the Asian part of Changlin County, east of the Beihai Sea and north of Heishui, to the Qing Dynasty, that is, to return their ancestral land, and Changlin County only retained the part of the Americas and the area east of the Bingxi River (Kolyma River). The north and west of the Edelweiss River (Lena River) were exchanged to Russia and the east were assigned to the Qing State, and the dividing line with the Qing Kingdom was bounded by the highest watershed of the Xianbei Mountain to the Edelweiss River. But in this regard, the Qing state suddenly gained nearly 3 million square kilometers of land, including the area north of the Taedong River on the Korean Peninsula. The Qing ambassador was stationed in China all the year round, how could he not know the specific geography, and he returned to Beijing to ask for the holy order without thinking about it.

Ouyang Xuan still led Elizabeth for a walk, fishing, and visiting the training of the guard regiment every day. It didn't seem to care about the progress of the negotiations at all, until five days later, Ling Huyan and Li Jing joined forces. After a secret meeting with Ouyang Xuan for three hours, Li Jing hurried back to Chang'an, while Linghuyan stayed by Ouyang Xuan's side. Early the next morning, Ouyang Xuan personally presided over the negotiations between the two sides, and as the founder and supreme leader of the country, Ouyang Xuan made the final decision. Huaxia ceded the land, and Russia exchanged all the antimatter and 50,000 gold coins, and the Turks chose where to go. Elizabeth also proposed her own plan, in which Russia exchanged all 1.3 million tons of "sacred stones" (anti-gravity matter) and 10,000 gold coins for all the land north of the 60th parallel. This was beyond everyone's expectations, and Ouyang Xuan only smiled and said: "My final plan, agree, the two countries will sign a treaty, and if they do not agree, the plenipotentiary envoys of the two countries will continue to talk." But the area east of the Bingxi River is land that must not be exchanged."

Elizabeth spread her hands, shook her head, and said no more. But her expression told everyone that she did not agree with this plan. Ouyang Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and directly announced that the envoys of the two countries would go to Chang'an to continue the talks, and the meeting was adjourned. Ouyang Xuan was now confident that all the two anti-gravity materials preserved by the descendants of the Camille people had now been moved to the Kezhou base, and the Russians had no bargaining chips in their hands. And Doldemu, who has the bargaining chips in their exchange, is still being treated in the Royal Hospital, and has completely taken refuge in Huaxia. After all, the paradise in Tibet can bring them hope for survival, and through the secret reports of Ling Huyan and Li Jing, the biological scientists at the Kezhou base are stepping up the development of various vaccines for human infectious diseases suitable for their ethnic groups according to the body structure and immune characteristics of Doldemu.

Of course, the negotiations had to continue, and each of the two countries sent envoys plenipotentiary to continue negotiations with Chang'an, and later invited Qing envoys to join. Elizabeth reluctantly chose to return to China, after all, after a long time, some of the old ministers in the country are quietly infiltrating the Petersburg regime. Elizabeth had to go back to clean up some of the portals, and the location of her return was chosen at Narcissus Pass, Weizhou. Ouyang Xuan personally saw him off to the pass, and when he parted, Elizabeth glanced at Ouyang Xuan affectionately and said: "I have been to this magical country many times in my dreams, and I vaguely remember the life of the alpine grassland, shepherding sheep and singing. It's just a pity that I didn't see anywhere this time, and if I have the chance, I will definitely go once." Elizabeth spoke in pure Mandarin, as if she had been possessed by someone else.

Ouyang Xuan nodded slightly, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He hugged Elizabeth vigorously and whispered in Russian in his ear: "I know where you are going, and I know who you were in your past life." As long as you want to come back, Huaxia is always ready to welcome you. In that alpine steppe there is your palace building". After speaking, he let go of Elizabeth, took a Nanmu box from Ling Huyan's hand, and handed it to Elizabeth with both hands. "This is my national gift, and I can't lose my etiquette because of an accident." Elizabeth took the box and opened it only one slit, looked at it, and immediately closed it. Holding it in his own hand, he gave a deep salute again, got into the carriage, and walked out of the Narcissus Pass. The Russian royal guard took over the guard and disappeared far into the distance.

"How's the manpower arrangement in Petersburg?". Ouyang Xuan saw the convoy disappear into the grassland in the distance, and turned around to ask Ling Huyan.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. They are all Slavic masters trained by the cheetah team themselves, and there are people inside and outside the palace, including the empress's escort. It was indeed difficult for those Russian senators to rebel. What's more, if there is a slight change in St. Petersburg, our army can go to support." Linghu Yan saluted and replied.

"That's good, go and arrange manpower, it's time to go to Yangling to worship." "No!".

This year's memorial was postponed for half a month due to the arrival of the Russian Empress, but it was still unusually grand. Because of Wei Yu's trouble in dealing with Zuo Rui in the Shanghai Concession, this time the memorial ceremony was replaced by Dongfang Xu. Ouyang Xuan is still wearing the most ancient Han Dynasty royal court clothes, wearing a nine-fold crown on his head. It has become a standard, this kind of clothing has long become history in China, only Ouyang Xuan wears it when he worships Yangling in September every year, because of the changes of the times, Huaxia has long been civilian in official uniforms and dresses. Including Ouyang Xuan, they all wore improved Han-style clothes to attend various formal occasions. Now this kind of Hanfu has also become a customary dress in China, but Ouyang Xuan still asked people to design a set of dresses specially used to worship Yangling. Huaxia originated from the Han Dynasty and is the successor of the mantle of Jinghan. Therefore, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in China is known as the Emperor of the People's Republic of China, Ouyang Xuan is the God Emperor, and Ouyang Gui is the Spirit Emperor. Every year on September 15 is the Chinese fixed worship of the two emperors (Ouyang Xuan) Zhengwu Festival, all over the country will be in the ancestral temple, ancestral hall, temple, Taoist hall, church, square to hold large-scale worship ceremonies, now has evolved into the third largest festival after the Spring Festival (the first day of the first month of the summer calendar), National Day (January 1 every year).

In addition to the summer calendar from the Central Plains, reflecting the cycle of the moon, there is also the solar calendar according to the solar cycle, the winter solstice day in the northern hemisphere every year is January 1, 365 days per year, and 31 days in odd-numbered months, of which 30 days in November, 31 days in even-numbered months, and one day every four years, placed in November. Because the land is spread all over the world, the date line is placed in the vast Pacific Ocean. After more than 100 years of planning and discussion, the country has redivided the time zone, from the original eight, to twelve. In neighboring states, it is possible to change time after crossing the state border. The specific division is determined after detailed research and analysis of nearly 30 years of scheme, the standard time is placed in Chang'an Jiulong Tower, for the high graupel energy clock, 100 million years error of 0.1 seconds. It is also the standard time of the Chinese solar system.

The memorial ceremony was completely step-by-step, and the final program was a dialogue between Ouyang Xuan and the people before Yangling. As for what is said, no one knows, and no one can understand. Because Ouyang Xuan spoke the language of Guguanzhong. This dialect has long been lost in the language evolution of China for two thousand years, and now there is only one language in China, which is the Mandarin that Ouyang Xuan vigorously promoted, and now after two thousand years of development, it combines the terminology of Camille and Duliba to form a language similar to Mandarin. Therefore, in the whole of China, only Ouyang Xuan can also speak the ancient official dialect of the Guanzhong region in the Han Dynasty. After chattering, Ouyang Xuan waved his hand to let Dongfang Xu clean up the tables and chairs, and then returned to Jinghan Palace surrounded by cabinet and internal government officials. A temporary meeting of the two governments was held in the Qinzheng Palace, and the bottom line of the next negotiation between China and Russia and the permanent border construction plan were laid out. In order to completely prevent smuggling, refugees, smuggling and other problems, this time Ouyang Xuan plans to completely rebuild the Huaxia border, with a focus on the construction of the maritime border.
