"Xianggong, the Japanese envoys have come to Thanh Hoa, when will you receive them?" Qing'er asked.

"Japanese envoys? What are they here for? Didn't I ask Yunshu to visit Japan before? Since Yun Shu has no interest in Japan, then forget it, why do they still come? Li Shan actually did not have a good impression of Japan, in Li Shan's eyes, the Japanese were docile on the surface but cunning on the inside.

"Isn't that what it was before? Some of our goods are also sold to Japan, and the Japanese are surprised that our navigation technology has been able to trade, so when Yunshu went to Japan this time, the Japanese emperor sent envoys to come with Yunshu's ship, otherwise they would not have been able to get to Dali. Qing'er said.

But I have to admit that the Yamato nation does have something to be respected, they respect the strong and learn from them. I used to learn the techniques of the Tang Dynasty, but now I have also discovered the techniques of Dali and want to learn them.

Li Shan was unwilling, although his purpose was to educate the foolish people, but he had no interest in the Yamato nation, if he transmitted advanced technology to Japan, and then triggered Japan's war of aggression against China in advance, it would be a disaster.

"Well, you go ahead and arrange it, and I'll see them in the evening. Qing'er, the core technology of our core industries must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked out. Li Shan arranged.

"I see, don't worry. I dare say that they stole these materials, and they couldn't understand them. You wrote those simplified characters, some of them are still in English, what Arabic numerals, I get dizzy when I read them, don't talk about them. ”

Li Shan shook his head and said: "That can't be careless, we must specify a detailed confidentiality code to educate all employees of core enterprises on confidentiality, which is something I neglected before." If you want to learn, you will definitely learn a lot of things, but I don't want to spread these things to the outside world for the time being. ”

Qing'er said: "Okay, I'll start doing it as soon as possible, of course our money-making business can't be taken by them in vain." By the way, how are you going to deal with those Japanese envoys? ”

Li Shan smiled slightly and said: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, I just have an idea and I don't know what to do, since they are here, let them be this guinea pig." ”

In the evening, during the meal, Li Shan met with the Japanese envoys.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's palace design is real and unique, which is an eye-opener for us."

Li Shan's palace is based on the palace of Jiaozhou City Annan rebuilt, in fact, it is just erected in some modern architectural styles, because of the development of cement and concrete, the construction is much higher than other palaces, although it is not magnificent, but it is more solemn.

"What are you coming to Dali for? A few days ago, I asked Princess Yunshu to visit Japan, and the princess was quite dissatisfied with you, so there is no need for us to continue. Li Shan was completely domineering, and he didn't want to be too polite to the Japanese envoys.

The Japanese envoy was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "It is precisely because of this that the emperor of my dynasty specially sent a minister to explain his intentions, we admire the Dali country very much, and are willing to make friends with the Dali country forever, although Princess Yunshu does not look down on our prince, but we do not want to give up the opportunity to make friends with your country." This time, we specially brought gold, silver and jade to express our sincerity to the King of Dali. ”

Li Shandao: "I don't have any interest in these gold, silver and jade, since you Japan want to be friendly with our country, you should show enough sincerity, if this gold and silver treasure alone is like cooperating with us, isn't it too easy?" ”

The Japanese envoy was speechless, and said in a deep voice: "Here, please make it clear to Your Majesty, what can we do to make friends with Dali." ”

Li Shandao: "We Dali have always only wanted to communicate with the strong, you Japan is too weak, but if you can defeat Goryeo, it will be a different matter, although Goryeo is not very wary, but it is inland, close to the Tang Dynasty is a good place." If Japan can attack Goryeo, we can cooperate for a long time. ”

The Japanese envoy was taken aback and said, "Are you asking us to send troops to attack Goryeo?" As you know, we have been at war with Goryeo before, but the Tang Dynasty has always protected Goryeo, so we can't invade Goryeo, otherwise we will definitely offend the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shan nodded and said: "That being said, it is true that the Tang Dynasty is very strong, and it has always taken good care of Goryeo, so it is not easy to take Goryeo." It seems that we have to do it ourselves, so you better go back. ”

Li Shan didn't give face at all, and with a non-negotiable tone, he raised his hand to send off the guests. The Japanese envoy stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed tricky, and it is not for the minister to decide, and the minister still needs to return to Japan to report this matter to the emperor before he can make a decision." Your Majesty, please believe in the sincerity of our cooperation with your country. ”

Li Shan laughed secretly in his heart, he had to give a sweet date for a slap, otherwise Japan probably wouldn't dare to confront the Tang Dynasty. Li Shandao: "You see, the Tang Dynasty and Japan are separated by the sea, and it is impossible to threaten your mainland with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but if you conquer even a part of Goryeo, you can use Goryeo as your base on the mainland." As long as you dare to send troops, we Dali are willing to provide you with sea ships and ordnance, of course, these need to be bought by your money. Not only that, but we Dali also promised that as long as Japan sends troops to Goryeo, we Dali will announce an alliance with Japan and advance and retreat together. ”

The Japanese envoys were also a little moved, after all, this kind of cooperation is indeed of great benefit to Japan, such as the fat meat that has long coveted Goryeo. As long as Goryeo is occupied, Japan can extend inland, and there is no need to be in a corner. Dali's warships and firearms are the most advanced weapons in the world, and these things are coveted by Japan, and this is a really good deal.

"The ministers will report to the Emperor of Japan truthfully, and the Emperor must be very interested in His Majesty's proposal, Your Majesty, please give us some time."

Li Shandao: "This is natural, I hope you will think about it." In addition, in order to show the sincerity of our Dali country, I will teach you the techniques such as prospecting and mining, and you can bring them back. ”

The Japanese envoys were overjoyed, in recent years, the rapid development of mining in Dali, all kinds of coal, oil, metal deposits have been discovered, other countries have also heard, the metal properties of coal forging will be better than charcoal, and the addition of rare metals will also make iron more practical, these are the legends they have heard of Dali, and they have always wanted to get.

But how do they know that the sooner the mineral deposits are mined, the more they will consume, and the more they will suffer in the end, of course, Li Shan will not tell them this truth. (To be continued.) )
