International trade is an important hub that maintains the peace and stability of Dashun and Dayue. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

With the International Trade Center, Dayue can get grain cloth from Dashun to ensure that the people of Dayue have no worries about food. Without the International Trade Center, the barren land of Otsuki could not support its people.

Unable to maintain food and clothing, Otsuki can only turn into a beast, show its fangs, and invade other countries, using various methods to maintain the normal supply within his own country.

Li Qingmu understands the importance of international trade, but what she doesn't understand is why international trade is not working.

Could it be that her eldest brother is ambitious and wants to break the peaceful relationship between the two countries, send troops to fight, and redraw the territory?

Li Qingmu's stiff smile, and the panic in his eyes fell exactly in the eyes of Emperor Jianning.

He looked back and saw the fold that had fallen to the ground and opened.

After a pause, Emperor Jianning hugged Li Qingmu's hand and pressed slightly. Closing his eyes and sighing lightly, Emperor Jianning raised the corners of his mouth at Li Qingmu and smiled, "Mu'er, it will be like this every year, it will be good to renegotiate the quantity and price of the transaction after passing a few letters of state." ”

"Really?" Li Qingmu turned around and asked seriously. Seeing that the lines on Emperor Jianning's face were tight, she stroked Emperor Jianning's face with her hand and said softly, "Wanyan Zhe, you can't hide something from me." ”

"I'm not hiding it from you." Emperor Jianning sat down on Li Qingmu on the beauty couch, stretched out his hand to pick up the fold from the ground, and said to Li Qingmu lightly, "Last year's pig iron in Dayue was better than in previous years, and the ministers wanted to raise the price of pig iron to seek more benefits." ”

"That's it?" Li Qingmu's beautiful eyes were staring at the fold in Emperor Jianning's hand, hoping to see through it.

"Or else?" Emperor Jianning closed the fold, put it on the table again, and then reached out to pick up Li Qingmu again, and said, "Mu'er, you don't have to pay attention to these laborious things, you can just help me take care of the harem." ”

Li Qingmu nodded lightly, and meekly rested his head on Emperor Jianning's chest, his heart was completely confused.

Emperor Jianning looked at Li Qingmu's delicate face full of worries, and let out a long sigh in his heart.

At the ugly moment, Li Qingmu, who should have been asleep, opened his eyes. She raised her eyes to see that her breathing was balanced, and Emperor Jianning, who was sleeping soundly, shook his arm lightly with her hand.

Why the two countries went to war in the last life, Li Qingmu is not clear. But the national trade is not accessible, which is enough for the barren Dayue to send troops.

After shaking it twice, Emperor Jianning didn't see him wake up, Li Qingmu got up quietly, went around to the foot of the bed and got off the bed softly.

Pulling up the bedgown that had slipped to her shoulders, she whispered into the inner sanctum.

The fold was still on the table next to the beauty couch, and carefully listening to the movement in the direction of the dormitory, Li Qingmu took the fold and put it into the candlestick.

After a slight glance at the contents of the fold, Li Qingmu's face turned pale, and his body shivered involuntarily, as if he was in ice water.

Otsuki's largest iron ore mine suffered a mining disaster, and it was impossible to mine again for two years, and Otsuki's pig iron production fell by half.

The remaining half, although the quality is not high, is barely enough to trade with Dashun.

But the ministers of the court disagreed, thinking that they could not devote all their resources to this deal.

Xie Yuanxing proposed to gather 200,000 troops to press to the border between the two countries, and coerce Dashun to agree to replace pig iron with horses for international trade.

Coercion by force, 200,000 troops......

With trembling hands, he closed the fold and put it back in its place, and despair rose in Li Qingmu's heart.

Emperor Yongning is definitely not the kind of person who will succumb to obscenity.

What's more, in terms of national strength and military strength, Dashun is not comparable to Dayue.

In the past, Dashun tolerated and showed weakness to Dayue everywhere, because Dashun's weapons were not as sophisticated as Dayue. Now the International Trade Center has been open for more than ten years, and the amount of fine iron imported into Dashun in these ten years is enough to arm Dashun's 300,000 iron horsemen.

The land area of Dayue is not less than that of Dashun, but the population is less than one-fifth of that of Dashun. Coupled with the barren land, there are very few people who can enlist in the army.

In the past ten years of recuperation, the population of Dayue has indeed increased a lot, but those Xinding are still children in their teens, and they have the heart to defend the country, but they have no strength to raise troops to resist the enemy.

Under such circumstances, Da Yue's dispatch of troops to Da Shun was a move to hit a stone with an egg.

The jade hand trembled slightly, and Li Qingmu went to get the tea cup on the table that had already been cold, trying to calm himself down.

The outstretched hand fell into a large and gentle hand.

Li Qingmu looked up and saw Emperor Jianning standing in front of him, his face was not good.

"I ......" Li Qingmu wanted to speak, but found that his throat seemed to be choked, and tears appeared in his eyes.

Emperor Jianning sighed, and the anger in his heart that rose because of Li Qingmu's peeking at the excerpt was melted away by the tears in Li Qingmu's eyes.

He hugged Li Qingmu's trembling body into his arms, reached out and took the teacup and handed it to Li Qingmu's lips, and said, "When ministers write excerpts, they tend to make things more serious......

The tea in the entrance was cold, which made Li Qingmu shiver and burst into tears.

She had a boulder pressed against her chest.

"Don't cry." Emperor Jianning raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Li Qingmu's eyes, and stroked the green silk behind Li Qingmu's head, the turmoil in his heart was even better, "Mu'er, don't cry." ”

In addition to asking Li Qingmu not to cry, he couldn't say anything else to comfort him.

He told Li Qingmu that the situation was not as serious as the minister said, but in fact it was much more serious.

He had passed the letter of state with the Emperor of Dashun, and the Emperor of Dashun did not agree to reduce the transaction volume of pig iron, let alone to lower the price of grain.

In this case, Otsuki is already struggling.

Now, relying on the last batch of grain last winter, Dayue can maintain a normal supply for three months. However, if the food that could have arrived in the spring could not arrive as scheduled, the people of the Great Moon would face a lack of food.

At that time, the people's hearts will be in turmoil.

Even if the imperial court opened a warehouse and distributed grain to appease the people, and tried its best, in the end, it could only ensure the food and clothing of the subjects until autumn.

The harsh winter after autumn has become an insurmountable difficulty.

If the imperial court can't think of a way to deal with it by then, the only way is to invade the border of Dashun in order to get grain for the winter.

"Wan Yan Zhe...... Can we make peace? Li Qingmu raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jianning, his eyes were full of ardent expectations, "Whether it is the people of Dayue or the people of Dashun, they all want to live as peacefully as they do now." They don't want to fight, they don't want to kill, they don't want their wives to be separated, they don't want to be separated. ”

"Yes, don't cry." Emperor Jianning closed his eyes and said softly, "Mu'er, there is nothing that cannot be solved, as long as a mutually acceptable method is found, the international trade can still be carried out." ”

Li Qingmu stretched out his hand and put his arm around Emperor Jianning's neck, choked and shook his head again and again, "Wan Yan Zhe, don't go to war, don't fight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......"

Emperor Jianning comforted Li Qingmu and said, "No, I think of other ways not to let the two countries go to war." ”

Li Qingmu hugged Emperor Jianning tightly and used all the strength of his body.

Li Qingmu fell asleep again with tears, and Emperor Jianning no longer had a trace of sleep.

When he was the king of Jin, he once thought, isn't it just war? Although the land of Dayue is barren, Dayue Nan'er is not a coward, as long as he is given 200,000 iron horses, he has the confidence to cross the border, enter the Dashun Imperial City in one fell swoop, and incorporate the fertile land into the territory.

But when he was really the emperor, he understood why Emperor Shiyuan agreed on the matter of national trade despite the opposition of hundreds of officials.

As the king of a country, he is no longer alone. He is responsible for the lives of millions of people in his own land, and he is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.

When Li Qingmu woke up the next day, Emperor Jianning had already left. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was dreaming about yesterday's events.

Cai Xiang and Wen Qing saw that she was in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to laugh with Li Qingmu like before, so they only waited quietly for Li Qingmu to get up and freshen up.

Li Qingmu's heart has been tense, and his face has not returned to ruddy.

She couldn't tell whether she was feeling sad for Emperor Jianning's embarrassment or her upcoming fate.

Thinking about it, his white forehead wrinkled tightly.

After picking incense and pulling Li Qingmu's hair in a bun, she asked softly, "Good princess, what happened?" Awkward with the emperor? ”

"No ......" for a long time, Li Qingmu held back a word from his throat.

The two of them hadn't quarreled for a long time, and when she thought about it, it seemed that the only few awkwardness she had was also her fault. Emperor Jianning was angry in his heart, and he was also the first person to turn back.

Li Qingmu took the wet handkerchief in Wen Qing's hand, covered his face, and said to Wen Qing in a tight voice, "You go and call Yao Yuan." ”

Wen Qing nodded, turned around and went out.

After Li Qingmu made up, he came to the inner hall and sat down, and before he could taste the fragrant tea in his hand, Yao Yuan came in from outside. |Wonderful|Pen|Pavilion

Yao Yuan saw Li Qingmu's eyes slightly red, and subconsciously lowered his head, as if he had seen something he shouldn't see.

Li Qingmu said to Yao Yuan in a hoarse voice, "Yao Yuan, no matter what method you use, this palace wants you to inquire about the affairs of the previous dynasty, no matter how big or small, this palace must know." ”

Yao Yuan nodded lightly, said his best and went out.

After Yao Yuan left, Li Qingmu leaned on the bed, although he no longer cried, his brain was booming.

At the moment, Xiao Guzi hurriedly ran back from outside and said to Li Qingmu, "Princess, Le Chongrong, I see red under my body......"

Li Qingmu's mind was not on the harem, Xiao Guzi said it twice in a row before she listened to it. After saying 'keep an eye on it' to Xiao Guzi, he let Xiao Guzi retreat.

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Chong Ronghua gave birth to three princesses prematurely, and the mother and daughter were safe. One more is served ~~~
