Chapter 326: Liu Xuan, who doesn't suffer losses
Gongsun Du said in a deep voice: "First, Benhou allowed the merchants of Donglai County to do business in Liaodong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Among the grain merchants, the king exempts all taxes and does not collect a cent. ”
"Second, in order to ensure the sailing of merchants on the sea, Benhou will send sailors to be stationed at sea to drive out pirates and ensure the smooth flow of sea and land."
"Third, in exchange for benefits, the merchants under the command of Benhou will also enter Donglai County. Among them, the merchants who sell war horses, King Jing must also be exempted from taxes and not collect a cent. ”
"Fourth, Qingzhou is frequent, and Donglai County is also unstable. In order to ensure that the merchants under the command of Benhou sold war horses in Donglai County, then Benhou would send a team of soldiers to Donglai County to ensure their interests. ”
As soon as Gongsun Du opened his mouth, there were four conditions.
These four conditions, in general, are all good for Gongsun Du.
Liu Xuan smiled, but shook his head.
Gongsun Du knew that it was impossible for Liu Xuan to recognize this condition, but he had to put it forward. Seeing Liu Xuan shaking his head, Gongsun Du asked, "What does King Jing think?" ”
Liu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The conditions proposed by Hou Ye have no effect. This king also thinks that it is reasonable. ”
Gongsun Du raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a look of surprise.
The conditions he put forward can be called harsh.
Liu Xuan actually wanted to agree!
This, I'm afraid it's boring!
What happened to Liu Xuan in Liaodong in the past few days, Gongsun Du saw it in his eyes, and by what happened, Gongsun Du judged Liu Xuan's character. In Gongsun Du's view, although Liu Xuan is young, he is old and spicy, more cunning and ruthless, and he is a master who does not suffer losses.
According to reason, Liu Xuan should not agree to the conditions he proposed!
Gongsun Du couldn't guess what Liu Xuan meant, and said, "Does King Jing really think so?" ”
Liu Xuanzheng said: "Of course, in order to ensure the interests of both you and me, we should naturally do this." ”
"Okay, King Jing is really refreshing."
Gongsun Du slapped his thigh, happy in his heart.
Liu Xuan changed his words and said: "Master Hou has already said your conditions, so this king will also talk about the conditions." ”
Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "King Jing, please!" ”
Liu Xuan said: "First, this king allowed the merchants of Liaodong to do business in Donglai County and even in Beihai Kingdom. Among them, the merchants who sell war horses do not receive any taxes from the king. ”
"Second, in view of the fact that on the way to Liaodong this time, in addition to Liu Xin blocking the way, he also encountered pirates. Therefore, the king will also arrange for a navy to patrol the sea from time to time to ensure that the waterways are unblocked. ”
Liu Xuan said the second one, with a smile on his face.
On Gongsun Du's face, his expression showed a slight hesitation.
Same!
Liu Xuan's conditions were the same as his.
A hint of bad premonition was bred in Gongsun Du's heart.
I only heard Liu Xuan continue: "Third, in view of the fact that there are too many friends in Liaodong, these people are arrogant and domineering, and it is likely to affect my businessmen from Qingzhou. In order to ensure that the merchants under the command of this king can do business smoothly, therefore, this king will also send a team of soldiers to be stationed in Liaodong to ensure that their interests are not violated. ”
Brush!
Gongsun Du's face turned pale.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Liu Xuan is playing with him!
Liu Xuan's conditions were directly copied according to his conditions.
Gongsun Du said: "King Jing just said that the people of Liaodong live and work in peace and contentment, and merchants do business here, so there is no need to send troops to station. As for the so-called friends, Ben Hou will beat them up and make them obedient and interesting. ”
Liu Xuan said: "Master Hou, with this king sitting in Donglai County and Beihai Kingdom, the bandits are extinct, and there will definitely be no incidents." Even if there are bandits, this king will sweep them up, so that the merchants can have a stable situation, and there is no need for the Hou Ye to send people to station. ”
Faced with Gongsun Du's words, Liu Xuan pushed back with a word.
When Gongsun Du heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Liu Xuan scrutinically, looking quite jealous.
Just now, Gongsun Du put forward four conditions, and these four conditions are quite harsh. However, Liu Xuan did not refute it at the first time, but put forward three conditions without humility or arrogance.
Through the three conditions, returning the other body in the other way is a dilemma for Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du laughed and said, "King Jing is a good means." ”
Liu Xuan said: "Hou Ye praised it falsely! ”
After a pause, Liu Xuan said: "This king has always believed that since it is an alliance, it is natural to do practical things honestly from the bottom of his heart, establish a consensus between the two sides, and reach an agreement between the two sides, so that both sides can benefit from it, which is the best alliance." Master Hou, what do you think? ”
Gongsun Du said: "King Jing is reasonable! ”
Liu Xuan's words were not painful, but they made Gongsun Du quite uncomfortable.
Obviously, Liu Xuan accused him of opening his mouth.
Gongsun Du thought about it, his face was still full of smiles, and he didn't change his bearing at all, and said: "King Jing, the conditions just now were all put forward by the subordinates. If it's not appropriate, then revise it. Well, the matter of the garrison in Donglai County, then forget it. ”
Liu Xuan arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye is wise! ”
Gongsun Du thought to himself, without the garrison, there is still an army at sea, and it can be operated at that time.
Liu Xuan said again: "Since Hou Ye is patrolling the sea garrison, then the safety of the sea must be guaranteed." Once there is a problem with the grain or goods transported by the merchant, everything will be compensated by the Hou Ye. ”
"Ahh
When Gongsun Du heard this, he couldn't recognize it and exclaimed.
Rao is he has cultivated a good city, but he also feels that Liu Xuan is a lion's big mouth.
Who wants such a rule!
Gongsun Du shook his head and said, "King Jing, in order to ensure the safety of ships at sea, Benhou has already sent troops to patrol and station, which has given enough sincerity. ”
Liu Xuan shook his head and said: "Master Hou is a good intention, but there are policies and countermeasures. You know, patrolling and patrolling will encounter merchant ships, which is a fat gap. Once the people below obey the law, I am afraid that the merchants who are engaged in the business will not be extorted by pirates, but by the officers and soldiers. ”
"If officers and soldiers are going to patrol, they must be fully responsible."
At the same time, the king will also set up a special department to be responsible for business dealings with Liaodong. If any merchant who went out of the ship had any trouble, they would report it to the officials below and then report it to the king. ”
Liu Xuan said: "Once anything happens, this king will inform the Hou Ye to deal with it." ”
The corners of Gongsun Du's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was cold.
At this moment, the two of them faintly became angry and began to fight each other.
Gongsun Du asked people to patrol the sea, and the implicit meaning was indeed to make profits. But Liu Xuan's whole thing made his plans fail.
After thinking for a while, Gongsun Du said: "That's it, since His Highness said so, Benhou still won't send troops to patrol the sea." ”
