Gu Yunjiao retracted her head, and waited for the Great Jin delegation to leave, and then ordered the coachman to go to Renxin Hall.

In the evening, Jiang Youzhi went home and talked about the Great Jin Mission, "This time it is Wan Yanzhang, the second prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Wulin Dahai, the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

"This time, in addition to the matter of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the emperor seems to be interested in sending the princess and his relatives."

Gu Yunjiao embroidered her purse and asked, "Very close?" Isn't it only Princess Shoukang, who was born to Concubine Chen, to be in the boudoir? ”

I almost snatched Jiang Youzhi away last time.

Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "Princess Shoukang-the emperor may not be reluctant, and may choose a woman from the clan to marry as a princess." ”

Gu Yunjiao admired the pattern she had embroidered, "The horizontal and vertical matter has nothing to do with us." ”

Jiang Youzhi smiled helplessly, this is also true.

It's just that as an ambitious man in his chest, as a subject of Da Chu, he naturally hopes that Da Chu will be strong, not in the current situation of being bullied.

For the next period of time, Gu Yunjiao could hear people talking about these things everywhere she went.

Whether it is the workers in the workshop or the customers of Renxintang, what everyone likes to discuss the most is who the princess is who they want to kiss, and then how much silver they have to spend to buy back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

In the past month, Da Jin and Da Chu have held two rounds of negotiations, and Da Jin is unwilling to sell all the sixteen states of Youyun to Da Chu.

The Great Jin only planned to take out six states, and the remaining ten states were still in their hands, which meant that as long as the Great Jin was willing, their cavalry could still reach the capital of Great Chu in a very short time.

There are no natural hazards and barriers in between.

After Jiang Youzhi returned home that day, he hugged Gu Yunjiao and sighed, "The day after tomorrow is the last negotiation, and now the price offered by Da Jin is that Da Chu pays one million taels of silver to Da Jin every year." ”

Gu Yunjiao was shocked by this number, the Yan family's father and son have been greedy for more than ten years, crazy to accumulate wealth, and they are only greedy for one or two million silver.

Da Chu will give Da Jin 1 million every year, obviously Da Chu's finances can't afford it, so taxes will be raised, and the people's lives will be difficult.

Gu Yunjiao couldn't help but say, "One million a year? Only to redeem six states? How long will this money go? ”

Jiang Youzhi shook his head: "As long as Da Chu still exists for one day, this silver will have to be given every year, and there is no problem in taking out the silver in the past few years, after all, the Su family and the Yan family have just been copied, and there is still money in the treasury." ”

"But what about in a few years?"

"And those six states have been plundered by the Great Jin, and even the population has been forcibly relocated."

"What Da Chu bought back at such a great price are six empty cities!"

"Moreover, there are only six states, which cannot form a complete line of defense, and it has almost no significance in military defense!"

Gu Yunjiao also sighed, and asked again: "What will the Great Jin do when the population is relocated?" ”

"There was originally very fertile black soil on the side of the Great Jin, but few people cultivated it, and now it has annexed the Great Liao, and the land is even more vast."

"Of course they need a population, and only when there is a population can there be production and tax revenue, otherwise, what is the use of more land?" The way of Jiang You.

Gu Yunjiao thought about it and understood, anyway, she was also a person who had taken history and politics classes.

However, perhaps it is the modern relationship in which she occupies the dominant personality, and her sense of belonging to Da Chu is not very strong.

The motherland in her heart is still the country in her previous life.
