Chapter 140: A Family
Zhang Chu entered the door and saw Yue Yue and the eldest princess who were there, and greeted the eldest princess politely.
The eldest princess was there to carefully observe Zhang Chu.
She looked at Zhang Chu in his twenties, with a white face, a little thin figure, and no image of a hegemon at all, according to the aesthetic standards of the grassland people, he couldn't stick to the hero, just his small body, if he participated in a wrestling match, people could throw him out with one hand. Riding a horse and galloping will definitely be turned upside down, and if you shoot an arrow, it is a question whether you can draw the bow.
Zhang Chu didn't know that the eldest princess had equated him with the weak chicken, and warmly invited the eldest princess into the house and beckoned the servants to eat. Everything seems so harmonious and natural, as if there are ordinary guests at home.
The eldest princess couldn't help it, he didn't come here to eat a meal. After taking a seat, the eldest princess opened her mouth first: "We have brought a large number of goods to Fugu this time, and we are ready to trade with Dashuai, the relationship between our two families will become closer and closer, and we are sincerely cooperating with Dashuai." ”
"Sincere cooperation, I don't think it is necessary." Zhang Chu said coldly, the original enthusiasm suddenly ran away.
Zhang Chu's answer made the eldest princess stunned for a moment, there is a way to say good things in the way, and it is also appropriate for the two sides to say something beautiful when they first meet, how can they tear their faces when they come up, how can the boat of friendship turn over. Of course, the eldest princess was not to be outdone, and asked rhetorically: "Where did the eldest princess see that we are not sincere?" ”
"In your and Gui Yingcha's identities, if the Great Khan is really sincere in cooperating with us, should you be appointed as an envoy, as his representative, to contact the security forces through official channels, and now what you are doing is a personal act, or the meaning of the Great Khan, can you tell clearly?" Zhang Chu said unceremoniously.
"We are mainly doing business this time, and we have no other meaning, and most of the materials we bring are from the Great Khan. There is no need to send any more emissaries. Princess Celestia argued.
"Then the two of us are limited to trading with each other, you don't think so, do you?" Zhang Chu asked.
"Of course, the more cooperation, the better." Princess Celestia didn't want to block the road.
"The Great Khan wants to cooperate more, I believe, if you want to cooperate, you can't look ahead, the Great Khan asked you not to hide your identity and come to Fugu with the caravan is to have the idea of cooperating with the security army, but I am afraid that my strength is not strong enough, and I don't want to cut off the way to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, so I didn't send an official representative, and this kind of two-headed betting practice can't be regarded as sincere. I'm right. Zhang Chu still didn't give up, and kept asking.
The purpose of this trip was when Lin Dan Khan talked to her when he left Naturalization City, and it was indeed more important to find out Zhang Chu's details, and the Great Khan had not yet decided to unite with Zhang Chu, so he could only be silent when he heard Zhang Chu say this.
"In fact, it is not bad that the two sides can do business, which shows that the two sides have common interests. These are the basis for cooperation. Zhang Chu softened his words a little.
"Come and eat first, and talk slowly." Yue Yue persuaded beside him.
"I speak a little directly, please don't pay too much attention to the eldest princess, I still welcome people who come to Fugu to do business." Zhang Chu unleashed kindness to the eldest princess.
"How long can you still occupy Fugu?" Princess Celestia didn't appreciate it at all, and she decided to fight back. I still have some understanding of the thief princess in Shaanxi, since she is a thief, it is mainly a stream, and it is not tenable in one place at all, Wang Jiayin has occupied Fugu four or five times, but each time he has not been able to stay for long, if the security army does not stay in Fugu for a long time, there is no need for cooperation between the two sides.
"Fugu, I am looking forward to it, I understand what the eldest princess means, the security army is completely different from the thieves, the thieves have to run away after grabbing a piece of land and eating it clean, otherwise they will starve, only destruction and no construction. The security forces have been in Yanchang County for several years, we have built water conservancy facilities to fight drought, we have ensured the harvest of agriculture, we have built a large number of new factories to produce a lot of things, we are exchanging horses, cattle and sheep with you, and we have enough grain to eat for several years. Not long ago, I defeated Hong Chengchou's army of 20,000, and the official army did not have the strength to attack us again, and Wang Jiayin of Shanxi Province took the weapons I sold to him and had grown to more than 200,000 people, and he is now the henchman of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Chu came and talked about the current situation with interest.
"Wang Jiayin has 200,000 horses, so he is not afraid that he will lead troops to grab your territory?" The eldest princess looked for Zhang Chu's sore spot.
"You have to ask Wang Jiayin if he still has the guts, and it's not the first time I've repaired him, I don't think he will have the courage to do that in the near future." It's not a threat to me. But you Chahar Department should be careful, moving west and losing your inherent territory, now many Mongolian tribes have taken refuge in Houjin, united to attack you, many merchants in Shanxi have set up with Houjin, and do business with Houjin through Zhangjiakou, you have fewer and fewer channels to obtain necessary materials, and the Ming Emperor can't live his own life in poverty, don't expect anything from him. Zhang Chu's words were unceremonious.
The eldest princess did not refute Zhang Chu's words this time, and sat there thinking blankly, the situation of the Chahar Department was indeed as Zhang Chu said. How to get out of the predicament, but the eldest princess couldn't think of a way for a while. After a long time, the eldest princess whispered to Zhang Chu, "Is there any way you can change the Chahar tribe and situation?" ”
"If we only have trade relations, I can't help it, I will exchange grain and weapons for your cattle and sheep, and no one owes anyone. You can still do business with other tribes if you are wiped out, and I can't fight for a business partner and others. Zhang Chu's words made the eldest princess's heart half cold, Zhang Chu didn't want to help the Chahar Ministry.
Soon the eldest princess reacted, Zhang Chu said that there was no way to do it just in trade relations, and at first he said that the Great Khan was not sincere, so what he meant was that if it was a closer relationship, the Great Khan showed enough sincerity to have a way. So what kind of close relationship does he want? I don't want to, it's better to ask him directly, the eldest princess looked directly at Zhang Chu and asked, "It's just that you can't do anything about the trade relationship, what kind of relationship do you have to do?" ”
"If the Chahar Ministry and the Security Army become a family, I will have a way." Zhang Chu replied very simply.
The eldest princess's face turned red when she heard this, she lowered her head shyly, and thought, "After talking about it for a long time, he wants to be close, and then it will be a family." Soon reason took over her mind again, and the eldest princess raised her head and said to Zhang Chu, "If you really have a way to get the Chahar tribe out of trouble, I will ask the Great Khan to agree to your request." ”
When Zhang Chu saw the expression and words of the eldest princess, he thought badly, and the other party seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. (To be continued.) )
