The emperor will not take the initiative to send the princess to make peace, and basically no princess will take the initiative to propose it.

Because she believed that no princess would be stupid enough to consciously take hostages.

This kind of drama of harmony between the two countries is not uncommon in all dynasties, and Yu Muhuai and the ministers know that the princess who is friendly is actually a hostage in disguise.

Yu Muhuai did not agree to Azig's request, and naturally he would not easily agree to Cong Guo's proposal.

On the first day of the peace talks, on the surface, they seemed friendly and did not tear up, but they did not end happily.

Azig and other envoys were also arranged in the palace.

He wanted to go to see Timucheng, but was told that it was inconvenient now.

It wasn't until the next morning that he saw the general.

I don't know why, he felt that the blue-black under Timur's eyes was deeper.

When the two met, there were many palace guards around, and it was impossible for them to say too many useful words.

But Azig also vaguely asked Timucheng's opinion.

He actually replied that he was very happy here, so that his father, Badaqi, did not have to worry too much.

Azig choked on, not knowing how to react for a moment.

It's not what I expected.

So Azig had no choice but to go home.

After that, Azig and Yu Muhuai held several more "friendly" consultations.

All ended in failure.

Originally, it was only after suffering defeat that the country came to negotiate.

The envoys have no confidence, and now they are at a disadvantage, and they are being manipulated everywhere.

Although it seems that the national strength of the country is stronger, the country is gradually recovering.

In addition, during the days when Azig and others came, what they saw in the imperial city was a scene full of vitality and the people were rich and healthy.

It also changed their views on the current situation in the two countries.

After each negotiation, the scales in Azig's mind tilt a little.

I don't know when it began, even if he didn't have a conversation with Yu Muhuai, those words would still roll in his mind.

Even dreaming at night is the words of those negotiations.

And they are all requests made by Cong Guo.

Not only Azig, but also the other envoys who came with him.

The negotiations lasted for almost a month.

Finally, after more than 20 days, the two sides ended this long peace talks.

In the end, it ended in a complete victory for the state of Cong.

However, there are changes to the third and fourth agreements.

The state agreed to pay an indemnity, and the amount was reduced from one million to two hundred thousand taels of silver.

The two sides did not agree to retreat at the border line, and the two sides maintained their current border position.

In this regard, Yu Muhuai has no objection.

It's not bad to be able to pull out 200,000 from the mouth of an iron rooster like Jianguo.

After all, her purpose now is mainly to leave enough time to recuperate, not to expect how much money Jianguo will give herself.

The two sides successfully signed a peace talks.

The term of the agreement is twenty years.

Two days later, Azig set off for home.

Ten days later, Yu Muhuai got the news that Azig had been demoted.

She chuckled, presumably Badachi was upset.

But even if you're not happy, there's nothing you can do.

After the agreement is signed, the country can only implement it at present.

After all, they are not the only two countries on this continent, there are many other countries and tribes around them.

No matter how angry Badaqi was, this time he could only suffer a dumb loss, gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

However, Jianguo's ability to play tricks is quite strong.

The 200,000 taels of silver in the agreement, they always reasoned that the treasury was short of money and could not pay it.

Yu Muhuai was not in a hurry, so he said that he could pay in installments, and it would be fine to pay a little less every time.

And there is no interest charged.

It fully demonstrates the generosity and tolerance of Cong Guo.

Badachi: Be generous, you chicken feathers!!

The country wants to pay its debts.

It doesn't matter, Cong has stepped up the scrutiny of goods in transit at the border.

There are always various reasons not to let the other party's goods pass the scrutiny, or to find an excuse to increase the tax.

Compared with the goods on the prairie of the country, the goods produced by the vast mountains and rivers of the country must be much more popular.

Whether it is handmade jewelry, tea, pottery, cloth, food, dry goods and other daily necessities, or calligraphy, painting and books and other things to cultivate sentiment.

They are all the products that neighboring countries dream of.

And Jianguo still lacks a necessary thing for life - sea salt.

Cong has a long coastal border, and the supply of sea salt is quite abundant.

In the hinterland of the prairie, they are not good, they lack salt.

The lack of a suitable geographical location is a lack of goods in demand, which is also an important reason why they have always wanted to capture the Kingdom of Cong.

Cong Guo can not want the other party's goods, but the other party cannot not want Cong Guo's things.

So they could only watch as Cong Guo made those small moves at the border, raising taxes for various reasons.

Some talk about the problem of goods, and some talk about the problem of people's livelihood.

Sometimes it's too much, just talking about the weather.

Recently, the weather has not been very good, and the soldiers guarding the border pass are in a gloomy mood and malaise, so they have to pay them some bonuses as subsidies, so they have to raise taxes.

Look, is this talking about human language?

After coming and going, the extra money that Cong Guo made was more than 200,000 taels of silver.

Badach: How can you be so cunning??

However, in desperation, it was the state of Jian that took the initiative to negotiate peace, and it was the important ministers of the country of Jin who promoted the peace talks, and Badaqi had no reason to go back.

And the recent losses of the country are too great!

100,000 elite soldiers plus the general Timucheng, needless to say.

Because Timucheng was captured, there were many troubles in the follow-up.

The members of the royal family of Jianguo are not peaceful, and in the past, there were Badaqi and Timucheng, and they could still hold on.

Now that Timucheng has an accident, the princes who could only hibernate before have all moved their minds, and there are various actions.

They all scrambled to incorporate Timucheng's troops, and they argued endlessly, but they couldn't get a result, and they fought for it.

The steppe peoples have always been fierce, this is in their blood, and even more so the children and grandchildren of the Great Khan.

Badachi was furious and scolded several of his sons.

Who knew something would happen two days later.

One of his sons was assassinated in his own house and died a tragic death.

Badachi was furious, and he ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

Although the dead son is not as powerful as Timucheng, he is also a son that Badachi values very much.

It is one of the strong competitors in the competition for reserves.

Now that such a thing has happened, the suspicion of the other sons is undoubtedly the greatest.

But after checking and checking, there was no evidence pointing to a specific suspect.

Badach can't just lock up all the suspects because of this.

If that were the case, he would have no son to use.

So I could only find a few scapegoats casually, and Ling Chi was executed, and the matter was hastily resolved.

There are constant headaches on the side of Jianguo, but Congguo is thriving and advancing day by day.

Yu Muhuai advocated vigorously developing agricultural infrastructure and strengthening trade activities, including domestic and foreign trade.
