Chapter 35: Peace Talks Succeed
Wu Yaer couldn't see it, his face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Lord Protector, I hope that the two of us can get along amicably and no longer start a war, as for the red-blooded horse, 100,000 horses is already our bottom line, and if we want to give more to Lord Protector, we can't take it out." Even if *** Khan was willing, the other tribal leaders were not willing. These 100,000 horses were forcibly mobilized from various tribes by *** Khan, and *** Khan also promised grain and grass to each tribe in his own name, so that he finally appeased the leaders of the tribes. I also hope that the Lord Protector will understand the difficulties of *** Khan. ”
Ziyang saw that the other party had softened, and said: "Since *** Khan is in trouble, I also hope that the two sides can get along amicably." ”
Hearing Ziyang say this, Wuyaer was overjoyed.
"However, over the years, our Great Jin Kingdom has suffered disasters year after year, grain harvest, domestic food shortage, high food prices, and I am also worried about grain and grass, as for salt, although I own the fiefdom of Yanchi County, but the salt road is blocked by domestic bandits and bandits, and it is difficult to transport it, and now the salt needed in our army is also purchased from the southern counties at a high price. I have just experienced a big war with your country now, and the silver taels are even more scarce, and I can't afford to use the silver taels to buy more salt and grain and grass to subsidize your country, and I also ask your *** Khan to understand my difficulties. ”
Ziyang said this, which is generally reasonable, and most of it is true, especially table salt. However, Ziyang has the grain and grass of the Ruyi space, and it has the strong financial support of Ziyun Pavilion. However, Ziyang wants to get more benefits, so he said so.
Ziyang said this, Wu Yaer can't help it, according to the internal line planted by Ziyang's side, she can also launch Ziyang's current economic situation, in fact, her goal is to raise 100 million stone grain and grass to solve the domestic crisis, as for the other conditions, they are all negotiable.
Wu Yaer said: "Since the economic situation of the Lord Protector is not good, I am not embarrassed, but I still hope that Lord Protector can help *** Khan solve the food problem of the Red Fang Khanate, and with the annual output of billions of stones of grain and grass in the Great Jin Kingdom, it should be no problem to raise hundreds of millions of stones of grain and grass." ”
Ziyang said: "Okay, I'll show some sincerity first, I prepared a batch of silver taels, I was going to buy black iron ore, I took out this batch of silver taels to buy grain and grass, plus the previous inventory, to raise enough 200 million stone grain and grass for your country, however, your country wants to make up for my million catties of black iron ore." As for salt, I will transform the old city of Tiemenguan into a trade zone between the two countries, and let your country buy salt and other goods freely. If *** Khan is willing, I can help buy a batch of salt, and exchange a pound of black iron ore for a pound of salt. What does Her Royal Highness think?"
Wu Yaer frowned, her goal was basically achieved, for the iron ore, there is a lot of it on the prairie, there is no shortage, and for salt, it can be solved through trade. said: "Since Lord Protector said so, I will give Lord Protector this face on behalf of *** Khan, but I hope that Lord Protector can raise an additional 200 million stones of grain and grass for us, and we are willing to exchange one pound of iron ore for ten stones of grain and grass, what does Lord Protector think?"
Ziyang thought for a while and said: "The domestic food is indeed tight, and I don't dare to guarantee that I can raise another 200 million stones of grain and grass, but I will do my best, and I may be able to raise it in two more months." ”
