Chapter 490: The Essence of a Merchant

Lu Chengqi patted his chest and promised: "Yu Yue is more worried, who am I?" Dashun Tianzi! Chrysostom said that the words are holy decrees, how can he go back on his words? You can rest assured, as long as the evidence is conclusive, Yang Wenguang will definitely be severely punished according to the law! ”

said this on the lips, but said in his heart: "Hehe, when the time comes, it's not like I can do whatever I want." Yang Wenguang, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", but the characters in the Yang family, how can I be willing to let him be wronged? It's just a loss of money. Well, according to the level of compassionate care of the previous border army. It seems to be ten yuan for one person, that is, more than 5,000 people, and it is only 50,000 yuan, what is it worth! In a blink of an eye, didn't you return to Da Shun from the field?

In this case, it is not a loss to pay him 100,000 yuan. If the Khitans run out of money, Dashun will really lose money if they do business with them. The economy is to operate capital in order to make money from money. If the Liao State ran out of money, it would not be able to justifiably carry out economic plunder.

From the establishment of the field to the present, Dashun's strong economic strength has been revealed. Although it seems that in a short period of time, the two countries of Shunliao have communicated with each other, and it seems that the Khitans are more advantageous. After all, cattle, sheep, horses, etc., are bulk goods, and the price is also high. But scarce is expensive, once the number of cattle, sheep and horses increases, it begins to depreciate and is worthless.

Therefore, the market of the two countries is gradually declining, the price of cattle is 10 yuan a head, the price of sheep is 20 yuan a head, and the price of a horse is not even as good as a sheep. Only horses, good horses, and war horses cost more than 100 yuan. And the rare Maxima, the price is no different from before, and the price is more than 5,000 yuan.

As the prices of cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other livestock fell, in contrast, the price range of spices, rhino horn, ivory, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, rice and silk fabrics exported by Dashun remained stable. There is no way, long-distance transportation, from Jiangnan to the border of Shunliao, requires a cost. Even if the status quo is maintained, the Khitans who conduct trade are a little overwhelmed.

Lu Chengqi knew that there was a truth to give up, and he was not prepared to get too stuck in this matter. If the Khitans were looted for money, they might jump over the wall in a hurry. There is a way that is horizontal and fearful, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. Once the Khitans go crazy, it is also very terrifying.

Yeluren didn't know that the little emperor in front of him had turned so many thoughts in such an instant. Hearing that the little emperor didn't intend to admit it, the big stone in his heart was relieved, and he said with some gratitude: "Your Majesty is merciful, I am deeply grateful for the family members of the fallen palace tent soldiers!" ”

Lu Chengqi felt a little funny, just like a robber who rushed into your house, killed someone, and lost some money, and this family is grateful. Isn't that a big joke!

It's just that all this seems to be a matter of course, and it is impossible for the two countries to start a large-scale war now, so they naturally have to find a reason to get along with each other to stabilize the situation. Liao is short of money, more precisely, it is a lack of various necessities of life; And Dashun is vast and rich, and it is not bad for money. The two sides hit it off, and this is the tacit understanding between the two politicians.

Lu Chengqi laughed so hard in his heart that his belly hurt, and he still said with a serious face: "Benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of my great shun country, and I must follow the teachings of the saints." ”

Jeruren finished the most important thing first, and his heart was settled. Before, he was afraid that this little emperor would not admit his account, and the five thousand palace tent troops would not die in vain? After this rebellion, the Liao State was already greatly damaged and was unable to attack the Central Plains. If you can get some compensation, you can also make up for it and strive to recover as soon as possible.

"But", Lu Chengqi's words changed, which made Yelu Renxian's spirit suddenly tense. When he and Liu Liufu went to Dashun, they were still domineering, how did they become like a soft-footed shrimp today? Sure enough, the national strength was not good, and diplomacy still suffered. Yeluren didn't know what diplomacy was, but it meant something about the same.

"I didn't give money for nothing." Lu Chengqi finally revealed his businessman nature, and began to bargain: "I have one condition, Yu Yue agreed, and I naturally don't skimp on money." ”

Yeluren was deceived by the age of this little emperor first, and asked in a daze: "I don't know what conditions Your Majesty has?" ”

Lu Chengqi was also unambiguous, and said directly: "There was some friction between the two countries in Shunliao before, and I and Yu Yue both knew it, so there is no need to repeat this matter." But these frictions have caused the sixteen states of my Dashun to be ten rooms and nine empty, and this is your fault. If this continues, sooner or later, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will become barren land and wilderness. At that time, the land was deserted and uninhabited. Whether it's me Dashun or Liaoguo, I don't want to see this kind of situation, right? ”

Yeluren was silent for a long time, and then said cautiously, "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Lu Chengqi said solemnly: "It's okay if you want me to be a compassionate person, or you can redeem the name of the people, and your Liao State wants to return all the Han people who have been plundered over the years!" Lu Chengqi also knew in his heart that this was impossible. According to the proportion of the population, the Han population accounts for at least half of the Liao State. The other half is made up of Khitans and various ethnic groups. If all the Han people in the Liao State were sent back to Dashun, wouldn't the population of the Liao State have dropped by half for no reason? Don't say that it's half of it, even one-third of it is enough to hurt flesh. The Han people were in the Liao State, but they had the status of slaves. Almost all the heavy work is done by the Han people. If there are no Han people, do you want them to do it as "noble" Khitans!

Yeluren didn't think about it for a while, and directly refused: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible. ”

Of course it's impossible, if Yeluren agrees first, Yeluhongji will not be able to cut him to death after returning to China! In a country, population is the most important thing. Without a huge population, how can we occupy such a huge country? Yeluren was not stupid first, so he naturally refused.

Lu Chengqi also knew that it was impossible for him to agree to this condition, he was asking for a sky-high price, waiting for Yeluren to land and repay the money first. Immediately said: "Then Yu Yue thinks, how many Han families do I ask for good?" ”

Ye Luren said firstly: "No one in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun cares about our Liao Kingdom!" It's best that there is no one left, and my Liao Kingdom can occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun without spending a single soldier! ”

Thinking like this in his heart, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and I can't decide it alone. I still have to ask my emperor to rule before I can give your majesty a verdict. ”

Lu Chengqi sighed and said: "In this case, the money and silver for the posthumous compensation are not busy giving ......" This is like bargaining with a small vendor, I want this thing very much, but the price is too high, so I have to "endure the pain" and leave. And the small vendors are very eager to sell, and most of them will stop you. Now Lu Chengqi is such a customer, Yeluren is a small vendor first, and the two of them are fighting wits and courage in the Chongde Palace, both of them want to maximize their benefits.
