Chapter 702: Profit Maximization
readx;?6 Chengqi also knows that he can't fool others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it's a straw bale, how can you be sent as an envoy? If you want to understand this, it is not difficult to understand why the Champa envoy knows so much, maybe people are prepared!
Feng Chengping knew the style of the little emperor, maybe he was merciful to the people of Dashun, but for other countries, he was ignorant. This originally violated the Confucian classic teaching that "those who have attained the Tao will have much help, and those who have lost the Tao will have little help", and if this continues, I am afraid that the surrounding countries will be offended.
Feng Chengping wanted to give a warning, but now was the wrong time. He is an old fritter, and he knows that if he exposes the "face" of the little emperor now, he will not be able to eat and have to go around. If any courtier loses face to his emperor in front of foreign envoys, isn't this the birthday star hanging himself, and he is afraid of a long life!
"Alas, the only way to do this is to wait and see what ...... changed"
6 Chengqi nodded and said, "It is indeed feasible to march from Guangxi South Road. It's just that in order to resist the southern invasion of the Khitans over the years, I have spent a lot of money, and the treasury is difficult to support. If you fight across the border again, I'm afraid that money, silver, grain and grass will not be enough to support it! Feng Chengping's eyes lit up: "It's coming, the show has begun......"
It's no wonder that Feng Chengping thinks so, he knows the temperament of the little emperor, and he doesn't scatter eagles if he doesn't see rabbits. If he didn't bite off a little meat from other countries, he wouldn't be reconciled. Previously, Liao and Goryeo had already learned from the past, "How can there be such an emperor?" Feng Chengping's face was hot, and he almost wanted to escape from the Chongzheng Palace, so he didn't have to be so ashamed here.
"There is no face, as an emperor, how can you ...... How can you bargain like a philistine hawker? ”
Not only Feng Chengping, but even Zhenla and Champa envoys have also heard of the "fierce achievements" of the little emperor of Dashun, and they forcibly ripped off a piece of meat from the Liao State. This is not counting, most of the Khitan generals who redeemed them rebelled with the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan, and they really lost their wives and soldiers. It's just that they won't think about it, and it's their turn to get this treatment today, and the bitterness in their hearts can be imagined.
"Dashun is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, how can there be a shortage of food and money?" The envoy of Champa made it clear that he didn't believe it, yes, it's okay to deceive a three-year-old child, but it's a bit of child's play to deceive these national elites.
6 Cheng Qi Zhen said eloquently: "Don't hide it from the two envoys, this year's Shandong East Road drought, the imperial court spent a lot of effort to calm down, a few years ago, the Yellow River burst, millions of victims were resettled, and a lot of money and silver went to the treasury. Don't look at the current scenery of Dashun, in fact, the inside is empty, and it is just a day and a day. Look, my clothes are patched! ”
6 When Chengqi saw that they didn't believe it, he wanted to pick up his regular clothes, and the two messengers waved their hands again and again: "Your Majesty, don't do this, I'll believe it, believe it!" ”
6 Chengqi really didn't lie, when he went back to Kunning Hall a few times ago, he was hooked by the branches of low bushes and cut a big hole. Originally, as an emperor, there was no shortage of food and clothing, but after all, a regular dress costs a lot of money, and there are not many tattered places, so 6 Chengqi asked people to sew and mend it. Fortunately, the palace maid sewed skillfully and sewed an auspicious cloud on the patch, which is unusual, Hanfu is not so shaped, 6 Chengqi is a precedent. Today he happened to be wearing this garment, 6 Chengqi remembered this, and he took advantage of it to cry poor.
Feng Chengping almost wanted to close his eyes, he had seen a scoundrel, and he had never seen an emperor who was also a scoundrel. These clothes patched and poor are two different concepts, how can they be confused together? If the emperor's clothes were to be patched, wouldn't they, who were courtiers, have to go out in beggars' clothes?
The Champa envoy and the Zhenla envoy looked at each other, and a message was revealed in their eyes: "Count you ruthless!" ”
They can't refute it, it's true that Dashun is a little difficult, but it's not so poor that it is, right? If there was really no money and no food, those border troops and forbidden armies would have rebelled a long time ago, and the words of this little emperor are not credible.
"Your Majesty's words make the ministers ......embarrassed" Feng Chengping still knows how to give 6 Chengqi down the steps, "Your Majesty treats the people preferentially, and would rather eat and drink less by yourself, rather than shorten the ministers' salaries, the food and salary of the three armies, and the ministers still blindly want to increase the salary, which is really a ten thousand crimes!" ”
6 Chengqi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the one-man show to turn into a singing double reed, and he was overjoyed, and pretended to be sad and said: "It is the loss of virtue that has caused the people to be displaced......
Feng Chengping also became addicted: "Your Majesty, it is the ministers who are not assisting effectively, and it is not Your Majesty's fault!" ”
They sang and harmonized, confusing the two messengers. They came to ask for reinforcements, how did it become a grievance meeting? After a while, the envoy of Zhancheng understood that he didn't want to send troops! Think about it, too, you are not good at your own ability, you can't beat others, so ask others for reinforcements. People help you with favors, and it makes sense not to help you, even if it's a moral kidnapping, how many of those who can be the supreme ruler are fools? Not to mention the thankless work, you have to take the life of a soldier and money and food to help you fight the world, who is so stupid!
The envoy of Champa gritted his teeth, and with the belief that he was reluctant to let the child hold the wolf, he stood up and said: "As long as the kingdom is willing to send troops to help, the city will definitely provide money and food, so as not to embarrass the kingdom!" ”
6 Chengqi's eyes lit up: "Okay, finally enough, I've been acting for so long, is it easy for me!" ”
I thought so in my heart, but in my mouth I said, "This ...... How can this be done, how can I be greedy for money and food, Dashun is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and we must convince people with virtue ......"
"Convince people with virtue!"
Not only the envoys of the two countries, but even Feng Chengping couldn't help but scold in his heart. The baht must be compared, is this still the emperor, this is clearly a country man, bargaining!
The envoy of Champa was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This is already something that a small country can give, if Your Majesty is dissatisfied, the small country has nothing to say." ”
6 Cheng Qixin said: "Well, it's still good to let other countries help raise soldiers." As for how to ask for the price, it's not up to me to decide? No, there's one more thing......"
"I don't actually mean this, I just wanted you to stop collecting my Central Plains merchant tax, thinking that the merchant Jia, not far away, resisted Zhancheng and Zhenla in the stormy waves, but was levied by you and others Most of the tax, I didn't have two dollars in the account, and over time, the merchant refused to go."
In the end, I don't know how terrible the merchant is. When the envoys of Champa and the Truth heard this, they thought that this mere commercial tax was nothing, and hurriedly agreed: "This matter is easy to do!" ”
6 Chengqi hasn't finished speaking: "As for the money and food, you can just look at it, and I don't ask for much, as long as I don't chill the hearts of the soldiers, I can ......."
Feng Chengping smiled bitterly in his heart: "I knew that it wouldn't be so easy to ......."
6 Chengqi was triumphant in his heart: "What is the maximization of interests, this is the maximization of interests!" ”
