Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sword of the Yuzi Period
It was Liu Hanlong who came first, he was old and experienced enough, and the reason why Qi Guo sent him was precisely because he needed his tactfulness to be a blunt knife for Ye Hongxue and Li Muqing.
I saw that he first showed signs of helplessness, and then said: "What Her Majesty the Empress said is that at the beginning, for the Yunshan Iron Mine, our four countries fought for life and death, and the people suffered. If we can't come up with a solution, I'm afraid we will repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Hearing his words, the military attaches in the court couldn't help but sneer, and some even showed angry faces.
It's a fight of life and death, it's obvious that the three of you are uniting to destroy me, but now it's overshadowed by such a fluttering sentence!
Xiao Linglong squinted, knowing that Liu Hanlong was reminding himself that Qianguo was afraid that he couldn't afford a big war.
Her pretty face was slightly cold, and she said calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is right, so how can I and the other four countries avoid the tragedy of five years ago?"
The situation is stronger than people, and she can't be arrogant.
Liu Hanlong didn't speak, it was time for Ye Hongxue and Li Muqing at this time.
The female general frowned and glanced at Li Muqing, and found that this product was a little absent-minded, and she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and said: "One-third of the Yunshan Iron Mine is in the territory of Youzhou in your country. ”
"After the other three points, in my Jing Kingdom and Qi Kingdom, our lord proposed that my Jing Kingdom and Qi Kingdom pay a total of one million taels of silver to your country every year, for a total of three years. ”
"Let the craftsmen of our two countries enter Youzhou, and garrison another 50,000 troops to mine iron ore. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Linglong's face sank, and Taishi Yang turned around and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! Youzhou is my great territory, how can you allow the troops of other countries to be stationed!"
Liu Hanlong said without a smile: "This is not true, don't my Qi Kingdom and Jing Kingdom have to pay one million silver taels to your country every year, and it is a full three years." As long as the iron ore mining in Youzhou is completed, our two countries will immediately withdraw their troops. ”
"How much is three million taels of silver exchanged for iron?
Xiao Xuance, who was also brought to the court, although he didn't understand it very well, he also understood that Qi Guo and Jing Guo actually wanted to garrison troops in Youzhou, and he couldn't help but scold.
"Fart! How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! Why don't you let our army of Qianguo garrison your territory!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Linglong glanced at her younger brother with some surprise, how can she say such a level of words? It seems that there is no shortage of reading today.
The rest of the ministers were also surprised.
Ye Hongxue raised her eyebrows, her eyes were appreciative: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of a good couch!" ”
Xiao Xuance was a little proud, Zhao Kang was really handsome when he said this.
Ye Hongxue's words changed: "Since your country does not agree, it is better to be like this." Our Jingguo gave up the Yunshan iron mine in the territory and exchanged it for your country to pay one million taels of silver to our country every year. ”
Liu Hanlong also said lightly: "Qi country can also be the same, but I don't know if your country can come up with so many silver taels." ”
The ministers were silent, Xiao Linglong clenched her fists slightly, and handed over two million taels in one go?
Qianguo did have so much money at this time, but the disaster situation in Jiangzhou was still unsolved, and the military salaries and rations in various places were also astronomical, although she received 1.5 million taels from Zhao Kang.
But in fact, it is already very difficult to keep the armies running everywhere.
If two million are given, then it is not an emptiness in the treasury, but a collapse of finances!
I gave the money, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to other countries to mine iron ore!
She understood that Liu Hanlong and Ye Hongxue saw this point and made such a request.
Her Majesty the Empress couldn't help but look at the civil and military officials in the audience, and saw that the ministers were either looking at the sky or sighing for a long time.
Don't think about it, you must be thinking about how to cry poor.
You let us verbally show our loyalty and worry about the country and the people, no problem.
Can we give you a man who worries will be silent when he sees it, and a woman will cry when she sees it, but she has to pay?
Two words.
No!
Xiao Linglong couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when she thought about it, just two days ago, these people were still spending a lot of money in the aristocratic hall, desperately bidding for a few tea leaves and a few gems.
"How is Her Majesty the Empress thinking about it?" Ye Hongxue knew that she was thinking about it, but obviously didn't want to delay her time, and at the same time, she looked at Li Muqing, who was distracted, and her dissatisfaction was revealed.
Said that the three parties are forced to do it, you stupid X is crazy, and you don't let go of a fart for a long time!
Li Muqing came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Linglong, who was in a dilemma, with a smile, that's good!
After a while, Xiao Linglong said coldly: "I don't agree with this law!"
Li Muqing, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke at this time: "Her Majesty the Empress of the Two Laws does not agree, so why can't you fight again?" Be careful that Your Majesty's words today will become a disaster for the country in the future!"
A young official couldn't get angry: "The Yunshan Iron Mine is a matter of our Three Kingdoms, why did the Great Zhou interfere for no reason!"
Li Muqing smiled when he heard this, and looked at the official with contempt in his eyes: "In order to avoid the destruction of lives and the flames of war, Your Majesty of Qi and Jingguo asked me to preside over the Yunshan Iron Mine in Da Zhou, why can't it?"
"After all, my Great Zhou is the strongest in the country, and I am in Kyushu! My country's saints have mercy, and I can't bear to see the people of the world suffer from the flames of war!"
The young officer was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Ye Hongxue's eyes closed slightly: "If Her Majesty the Empress wants to fight, then Hongxue will take this trip in vain, and I will wait to go back and deploy soldiers and horses on the battlefield to see a high and low!"
Liu Hanlong sighed: "Alas, if the war breaks out, I don't know how many Li people will be killed or injured!"
The courtiers all looked worried, Xiao Linglong's face was embarrassed, and Ye Hongxue and others pressed her step by step, making her a little breathless, after a while.
"Your envoy will rest for the time being, and I will reply after consulting with the hundred officials. ”
"Then please think twice about it. Li Muqing got up with a smile.
He has already thought clearly, as long as he continues to persecute Qianguo, he is afraid that he will not be able to get Xiao Linglong in the future?
After the three of them left, Xiao Linglong looked at the civil and military officials in the audience, and only felt very tired: "Let's talk about it, is it war or peace?"
"Your Majesty, fight with them! The three of them are clearly joining forces to bully our country!"
"Such a great humiliation cannot be endured!"
"That's right, that's it, who's afraid of whom!"
The generals jumped to their feet angrily and began to fight.
At this time, a cold snort sounded.
"A group of reckless people, fighting and killing all day long, what kind of system!"
When the generals saw that it was Yang Taishi, they immediately smiled angrily: "Then the old lady said a way! If you choose to pay money to buy a mine! Okay, I, Li, am the first to donate family property, what does the old lady say?"
Taishi Yang was stunned for a moment, and snorted: "Nonsense!"
"That's it! Just because you generals shout and shout and kill all day long, there will be so many wars in the world, and if you continue to fight, you will lose the country!"
Li Nian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, roared angrily: "If you don't fight again, you will lose the country!, do you have to watch the great cadres die in the country, will you sour and rotten Confucians wake up!"
