The rain kept falling, and I believe that the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom were in turmoil.

The officials of the Great Xia Kingdom did not let go of the conditions, and after arguing all morning, it was reduced by 200,000 taels, and there were still 4.8 million taels left. As for the second article, they did not move an inch, and the intensity of the argument made An Beishan, Lan Junbo and others hoarse and dry-mouthed.

In the end, Xiao Rui spoke, easing the atmosphere. Afterwards, the personnel of the two sides had lunch, rested for an hour, and then fought again in the afternoon.

After lunch, Xiao Rui asked people to invite Xiao Lie, Xiao Feng, An Beishan and others to discuss the next countermeasures, so that if the quarrel continues, let alone in the afternoon, it will be difficult to have results in another ten days.

In the room, Xiao Rui said directly: "The two imperial brothers, Lord An, Lord Wang, and all the adults, what do you think is the possibility that Da Yan will agree to our request?" ”

An Beishan and Wang Kang of the Ministry of Rites glanced at each other and smiled.

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Lie, and Xiao Lie said first: "The possibility is zero, first, the amount of five million taels is huge, and second, the Great Yan Kingdom has not been directly violated, and the land has not been oppressed and violated, so naturally they will not agree to this humiliating condition." The third is that they can't explain to Emperor Yan, and once they promise to go back, they will be thrown eggs. ”

Xiao Rui agreed: "What the King of Chu said is right, since the possibility is zero, then don't dwell on this condition, but waste time, so Ben Zheng suggested reopening the condition." Of course, the envoy also knows that your lords put forward this condition to show our Great Xia's ability and bargaining chips, but just give them a little bit of power, and they still have to be forgiving and forgiving. What do you think? ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, naturally they didn't dare to refute, you used official titles when you spoke, how dare your subordinates refute the envoy's proposal, and His Majesty said that the matter of the alliance between the two countries will be decided by the envoy with full authority to act on his behalf.

Xiao Lie was very apprehensive, he was tired and tired, and was vetoed by Zheng's envoy, but he also understood that it was useless to continue arguing.

"Seventh brother, what do you have a good idea?" Xiao Lie asked.

"Yes, seventh brother, you have always been smart, say it and let us learn and learn." Xiao Feng also asked, since Xiao Rui recommended him to compete with the young people of Dayan Kingdom at the reception banquet, his attitude towards Xiao Rui instantly changed for the better, and he entered the state of brother, friend and brother.

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "In my opinion, the second content remains the same, once the Great Yan Kingdom is violated and needs the support of Great Xia, it must be responsible for the cost of sending soldiers and horses, but in order to help them, it is also to help us, so they don't have to be fully responsible, but they must be responsible for eighty percent!" The floor limit is seventy percent. ”

"Third, the prince of Dayan does not need to come to Daxia to act as a proton, it is a brotherly alliance, and it cannot be made too ugly, so as to avoid being scolded by the ministers for losing power and humiliating the country after returning to Dayan. How much of a proton prince can it play? ”

"And the cost of the alliance in Article 1 is five million taels, I think it will be canceled and replaced with a trade treaty between the two countries!"

"Huh?" Everyone in the room was stunned, hearing this word for the first time.

Xiao Rui explained: "All the countries in the world, who doesn't know that the embroidery and silk of Great Xia are unparalleled in the world, and they are in high demand, and the ore of Great Yan is abundant, and the ore is what we are in short supply of Great Xia, so this king's suggestion is to sign a trade exchange, and our Great Xia Kingdom must buy ore from Great Yan Country at a preferential price of 15% or more below the market price, and the amount purchased each year cannot be less than a certain amount, and Great Yan Country cannot postpone or delay or even not sell it on the grounds of scarcity of ore." Our embroidered silk and other commodities must be sold to Dayan at a price of more than 5% above the market price, and not less than a certain amount, and the two sides must not make things difficult for any reason. As for the detailed quantity, you can communicate with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials present were startled and instantly shorted of breath.

Once it can be purchased at a low price, with the power of the craftsmen of the Great Xia Kingdom, the national strength of the entire country will be improved, and if the products are sold at a high price, the money for buying ore can be offset, and it can also drive the industry of the Great Xia Kingdom to be active, and there will be no harm in it.

And although this condition is unfavorable to the Great Yan Kingdom, they can accept it. Because they have too much ore, and they can't sell it to the Great Zhao State and the Great Wei State to avoid raising tigers, so they can only keep the ore as waste, and sell it to their allies Great Xia, which is not necessarily. The stronger the Great Xia, the more it can protect the Great Swallow. In the future, the formation of a stable supply relationship can also restrain Daxia and prevent Daxia from threatening Dayan.

Of course, there must be a threat of selling ore to Great Xia, but will there be a big threat from Great Wei and Great Zhao?

As for buying back silk and embroidery at a price higher than five percent, Dayan Guo is more willing!

Because he can act as a middleman and sell it to the Great Wei State and even the Great Qin State again, such a sought-after thing will not be let go of the dignitaries and nobles of any country, so even if the price is a little more expensive, the Great Yan Kingdom can make money as soon as it changes hands. This also avoided the arduous and long-distance trade of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Your Highness's stroke of genius, this plan is wonderful, wonderful! If this can be negotiated, it will be a blessing for me! An Beishan was excited: "The lack of plates in our Great Xia is ore, if the ore is abundant, what are the fears of Great Wei, Great Yuan and even Great Qin?" ”

Xiao Lie was also very excited, but he asked a question: "Will Dayan Guo really agree?" Ore is a sharp weapon, and once it is sold to us on a large scale, won't it also be a tiger? ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "So Daxia wants to sign a brotherly alliance with Dayan, sign a contract with national honor, and never disobey it." ”

Xiao Lie nodded and said, "It's feasible!" ”

The other officials nodded their heads.

Xiao Rui immediately set the tone: "Okay! That afternoon, I changed my mind and tested the waters with them first according to this condition. I believe that they have been tossed around by the alliance fee of five million taels for so long, and this mutual trade treaty will make them breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, we have to bring it up after we are relieved. Haha..."

"Haha...", the others laughed happily as well.

After the break, negotiations continued, and the two sides came together again.

Lan Junbo said earnestly: "His Royal Highness King Xian, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness King Duan, and all your lords, the alliance fee of five million taels is too much, and we really can't go back to explain to Your Majesty and the people of Dayan!" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Okay! Then overturn the first condition, and our Great Xia Kingdom will not have an alliance fee. ”

"Huh?"

Lan Junbo had a confused expression on his face, and the other Great Yan envoys were the same, even Yan Linglong raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

"Your Highness, is this true?" Lan Junbo hurriedly asked, for fear that he had heard it wrong.

Xiao Rui said: "Naturally, take it seriously, once you say it, it is difficult to chase any horse." However, the alliance fee can be abandoned, but this king represents the Great Xia Kingdom, and there are other conditions! Now, let our Ann adults communicate with you! ”

An Beishan had already sorted out his thoughts, and said to the envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom with a smile: "Colleagues of the Great Yan Kingdom, now this official solemnly introduces to you the trade treaty between the two countries... Listen carefully. ”

Next, in the subdued tone and frustration of Anbei Mountain, the general content of the trade treaty was described, and the face of the Great Yan envoy was cloudy, and even Yan Linglong was deeply entangled.

In the morning, it was a quarrel, and in the afternoon, it was a drumming and resting, and I could only stare at it with big eyes.

At this time, the rain outside was heavier, the sky was dark, the rain was pouring down, and the forbidden army who was in charge of patrolling outside the courtyard was also blurred and could not see clearly.

"Huh? Do you see clearly? Something seemed to float by. A janitorial soldier asked someone close to him.

"With such a heavy rain, what can there be, you are dazzled." The other said casually.

"yes, it's raining so hard!"
