Liu Ye complained to Bai Tu about the problem of grain prices in Chu, apparently ...... He now suspects that Bai Tu specially made this show in order to raise the price of food.

Otherwise, what do civilians have to practice martial arts? It's still the kind that is specially connected to the true anger!

Even think about it......

The state of Chu is really crazy enough!

In order to raise the price of food, he actually specially improved a set of special true qigong methods, and tried his best to encourage the whole people to cultivate......

Tsk, co-authored Chu State is desperately trying to increase the yield per mu, improve the cultivation method, integrate the acres, and finally increase the grain yield, and then find a way to double the consumption?

Bai Tu naturally did not agree with this, and seriously criticized Liu Ye's idea, insisting that it was for the health of the people of Chu, and urged Wei to also put the health of the people first.

Liu Ye must have listened to this kind of thing......

Do you want the people to eat more grain, and you want the people to eat meat, eggs, vegetables and fish, what do you want?

However, Liu Ye finally gave Wei State and won the preferential treatment - the grain and grass traded with Wei State could be discounted by one stone for every five stones, that is, half of the tax.

Even Liu Ye felt that if he worked hard, he might be able to negotiate other commercial taxes......

Because of the primitive commodity economy, the current transactions between princes, especially for strategic materials, even if they want to collect taxes, are also the outflow party, desperately trying to raise taxes and reduce the outflow of resources, which is different from the situation after the great development of the global economy in later generations.

As for how to ensure that no one in Wei will take advantage of this opportunity to resell the preferential grain and grass of Chu?

In this regard, Bai Tu also said to Liu Ye very intimately: "Ziyang, don't worry, my Da Chu naturally has a way to distinguish, let's go and talk to the Ministry of Rites about the warship first!" ”

After listening to Bai Tu's words, Liu Ye ...... I can't rest assured!

However, on the whole, the exchange between the two sides was very "pleasant", after all, preferential prices were given for grain, and even sea ships could be discussed.

After Liu Ye met Bai Tu, he also made an appointment with the Ministry of Rites to prepare to officially send the "dowry" from the post house to the palace of the king of Chu.

It's just that what made Liu Ye more and more uneasy was that after he went to the Ministry of Rites to mention this matter, he also wanted to talk about the sea ship by the way, but the result was ...... The Ministry of Rites did not talk to Liu Ye at all on the grounds that the "Superintendent Office" that coordinates auspicious days and the "Foreign Affairs Office" that approves foreign transactions are not the same official office!

This is actually quite true, but ...... Liu Ye always felt that these people were holding back for fear of scaring him away, so they were ready to implement the dowry first.

The dowry was theoretically sent by the Wei royal family, that is, the Cao family, and Cao Cao had officially recognized Xiahou Juan as the lord of Wei.

Although there was no marriage ceremony, with the cooperation of Bai Tu, half of the dowry in the front yard of the palace was piled up, and it was dangled in Jinling City with great fanfare, and Xiahou Juan also officially entered the palace of Chu after today.

It's just that there is a matter of "succeeding Lu Yan" in the past, and no one thinks that the lord of Wei can dominate the throne, and ...... Just when Liu Ye personally sent the dowry into the palace of the King of Chu, it was Lu Bu who personally welcomed him in!

Liu Ye, as the official of Wei, was also startled when he saw Lu Bu......

"Yes, yes, Juan'er, this kid, I've always been very optimistic...... Hahaha, I'm not here now as a national abbot or a privy envoy, but as a father, Ziyang doesn't have to be nervous, I won't be because Juan Er is Cao A...... Ahem, Cao Cao's goddaughter has no opinion on her. Lu Bu said to Liu Ye in the smirk.

"Hehehe, General Lu Gaoyi."

Even Liu Ye, who is accustomed to being an envoy, smirked a little, and didn't even correct Lu Bu's direct name-obviously understood that Lu Bu didn't directly call him black, and he was already looking at the face of the "(pseudo) in-laws".

Afterwards, when Liu Ye went to discuss the matter of the sea ship with the Ministry of Rites, it proved that Liu Ye's premonition was correct......

"Tuyin County? No way! Liu Ye almost jumped out of his chair.

That's right, the request made by the Foreign Affairs Department is exactly the mound!

After approving the transaction, you can either trade with the people who meet the regulations and pay taxes when exporting, or go to the "commercial office" under the household department to discuss the production of the official workshop.

The sea ship naturally wants to negotiate the price code with the "Household Department of Commerce", but now the "Ministry of Rites and Foreign Affairs Office" does not care about the price code at all, and first sets a premise - Tuyin County must be handed over to the Chu State for management.

After all, Wei is not the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and Liu Ye does not accept this kind of request at all.

Last year, Dengke, who was the second in the household department, had just been in the office for less than a year, and at this time he was the adjutant who negotiated with Liu Ye and the chief bookkeeper of the commercial department.

It is said that he is now talking to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Rites, but the Commercial Department has also sent an adjutant to "staff officer".

"Don't worry, envoy Liu, we are also thinking about the Wei country." Bu Qi said slowly.

"Oh? Could it be that your country is worried that my Great Wei will not be able to hold the mound? Liu Ye said.

Tuyin County, that is, a county bordering the sea in the south of Youbeiping, is equivalent to the location of Tangshan in later generations......

Beiping City of Beiping County on the right, located in the east of Yuyang City in Yuyang County, and close to the northern border, for Wei, the east and west of Beiping City are sandwiched by the Gongsun clan, or there is the meaning of crossing Liaoxi and Yuyang and Shanggu counties, and at the same time, the north also has to bear the pressure of Xianbei and Wuhuan.

The reason why Wei must defend Beiping City is mainly for the sake of the mound behind him - to prepare to build a port here!

And now the city of Beiping is relatively safe, and the north is ...... Because the Gongsun clan took the initiative to educate several neighboring Xianbei tribes - Beiping, the Gongsun clan did not dare to move, so it could only expand further north to ensure that Yuyang and Liaoxi were connected.

This part of Xianbei is considered to be the eastern Xianbei, unlike the Xianbei on the Heshuo side, there are two "adults" of Kebineng and Budugen facing each other in the north and south, and the strength can be stronger.

This part of Xianbei in the east was originally a piece of loose sand after the death of Tanshi Huai, whether it was Gongsun Chan or Gongsun Du, they all wanted to fight and pinch.

That is, two years ago, after Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zhan, in order to ensure his influence among the foreign races in the north, he supported Su Li and unified the eastern Xianbei, which made the eastern Xianbei barely have an "adult".

And now that the Yuan clan has been replaced, Su Li didn't even dare to let go of cruel words, and obediently retreated north......

It is said that the right Beiping of Wei seems to be attacked from many sides, but in fact it is not dangerous, so Liu Ye felt that Bu Qi was talking nonsense.

Hearing this, Bu Qi said in a gentle voice: "Liu Envoy is too worried, how can I think that Wei State can't hold the right Beiping?" What I think is that the king of my family said before that in the future, grain, grass, and many materials will be preferential taxes and fees for our brotherly country, but I am worried that there will be lawbreakers, under the pretext of exporting Wei, in fact, they will stop in Qingzhou and even Zhouhu......

Therefore, I think that as long as the Chu State builds the Tuyuan Port in Tuyuan, it will be specially emphasized in the future that the goods imported from the Tuyuan Port are all goods for the fraternal country, and there will naturally be no disputes! ”

Liu Ye: ???

You're such a little genius! In order to prove that the goods have arrived in Wei, I have to give you a port county?

"And to build a large port, I have always been very experienced...... We are not here to rob Tuyin County, but to join the construction of Tuyin County! Bu Qi said with sincerity on his face.

Liu Ye: (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻
