Cabin, sunshine, long table, three chairs, two people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is no plaque in front of the door of the room where the emperor chooses to talk, because this is the house where the emperor usually carves wood carvings, and Yang Gu likes to think about everything in this room, and if he can't figure it out, he can carve something to quickly calm himself down.

The lighting is very good, the transparent sunlight shines in, the wood carvings in the room seem to be alive, the emperor in regular clothes sits behind the table, there is nothing on the table, and the carved materials and tools are placed on the wooden shelf of Tianyuan behind him.

There are also two chairs in front of the table, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the first guest in this room. Yuankong sat on the chair on his left with his hands on his lap.

He opened his mouth and said softly: "Presumably, the emperor is clear about my intention to come this time. ”

"No, I don't know what you mean, Prince, I only know that because of your negligence, I lost a batch of important goods. The Emperor shook his head and said.

His Royal Highness didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk, but said as if he remembered something: "As a guest, can you give me a cup of tea?"

Yang Guwan didn't speak, got up, took off the tea leaves and wooden tea set on the shelf behind him, and really put them on the table to make tea, and there were two cups of tea in two cups.

While soaking, he said: "Ordinary people can't enter this house, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are not the first person to enter my house, but you are the first person to let me make tea in this house." "The water in the teapot is mountain spring water, and when you hold the teapot in your hand, it has already been heated by the Emperor. It slowly flowed into the wooden cup, steaming hot.

Yuankong reached out and took the wooden teacup and said, "It's really my honor. After speaking, he sniffed lightly, took a small sip, and then said: "Tea is logically good tea, but the tea you brewed is really not skilled, and it is too far behind your wood carving." ”

It stands to reason that it is a good tea, because this is the tea drunk by the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, but because of the temperature of the water and the emperor's technique, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't drink this tea at all, so it can only be said logically.

The emperor, who didn't look older than Yuan Kong, said with a crying and laughing expression on his face: "Young man, you don't understand the wood carving I am good at, and I don't know the slightest tea ceremony by you. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignored it, and said softly: "Emperor, let's talk about business, where did you say just now, oh yes, it's your goods that have been lost, very good, the purpose of my coming here is to compensate the Emperor for you." ”

The Emperor stopped talking, and made an expression that you please continue, I am listening carefully.

Yuan Kong continued: "I want to open this trade route between Southern Xinjiang and the Great Han, and in the future, my Great Han Dynasty will conduct direct transactions with you, or the Southern Xinjiang you represent, of course, the Great Emperor, you have to ensure the safety of these goods." And for the time being, we can only enter the 100,000 mountains, and you can't transport goods into the Han. ”

This security guarantee naturally refers to the 100,000 mountain bandits, but there is no such goods to rob, and the mountain bandits will not starve to death, and they will not live well when there are no commercial vehicles in the past few years. Of course, it may not be as prosperous as the mountain bandits are now, and it is the commercial vehicles that have been pouring into the 100,000 mountains over the years that have created so many mountain bandits.

"It sounds like it's all good for you Han, but what's the benefit of this for my southern frontier? Even if I don't cooperate with your Han Dynasty, and the wealth is moving, there are still a large number of merchant vehicles taking risks to enter these 100,000 mountains, isn't it?" said the Emperor seriously.

Yuan Wu didn't think about it and said: "The benefits are naturally there, the variety of goods that my Han Dynasty can provide is so large and the quantity is that it must not be comparable to the small fights of those kittens." And there is a guarantee of time, and there will be no situation this year and no next. "These have been thought about a long time ago, and what kind of cooperation can be talked about when it is not beneficial to others.

Perhaps it was the last sentence that reached the emperor's heart, and the emperor thought for a while. Because it is always smuggling and risky, those kittens generally take a long break after making a profit, which leads to the lack of time when there is no shortage in southern Xinjiang, and there are many times when there is no shortage, which seriously affects the transaction in southern Xinjiang, and the price continues to change.

Of course, since these ideas will not be said for negotiation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is the other party to the negotiation, can also see the general situation, and the Emperor continued: "Your Highness has not yet answered another question from me. ”

Yuan Kong smiled lightly, since none of these conditions can play a decisive role, then: "Emperor, do you think that if you don't agree to this condition, will my big man still let those kittens into the mountain? This matter has always done more harm than good to us, isn't it?"

"These kittens have been around for so long, haven't they?" the Emperor asked with a smile.

"Just because it exists doesn't mean it will continue to exist in the future. Such a simple truth, I don't think you don't understand, the Emperor. Yuankong continued.

The conversation on the first day ended with the emperor saying that he should think about it carefully, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even less anxious, and Yuan Kong knew that his words had already moved the emperor.

Indeed, in the next few days, the emperor had decided to cooperate with the Han Dynasty, and began to negotiate the specific details, the number and price of items, etc.

On the seventh day, the Emperor handed over a token and said, "This is my token, and in the future, all caravans that enter the 100,000 mountains with this token will be unimpeded." ”

This is the end of the matter, and the purpose of His Royal Highness the Prince's visit to this southern Xinjiang has been achieved beyond expectations.

"Friend, I have a personal request, I don't know if you can say yes, friend. Yuankong said with a grin, saying that the title of Yuankong had also changed.

"Young man, tell me about it. The Emperor said.

"What, friend, you gave me this wood carving, see if you can change it, change it to my current appearance. Yuan Kong said, stretched out his hand and took out the wood carving in his arms.

"I still think it's something, what's so difficult about it, don't change that one as a souvenir, I'll give you another one. So saying, the Emperor went to the shelf and took a piece of wood, and began to carve it.

Although it is the second time to watch it, this smooth and flowing technique is still a kind of enjoyment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never thought that watching a carved wood can also have a beautiful feeling.

While enjoying it, Yuankong said: "Friend has to say again that your carving technique is much better than your tea. Just send me some more tea. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, is it praising others or hurting others?

The determined emperor didn't hold back, and when the carving knife was finally completed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face was scratched, leaving a trace, of course, in Yuankong's opinion, it was mostly intentional by the emperor.
