Chapter 58: Negotiation Fails

"Alright, that's a success." I was very proud to look at the adoring eyes of everyone, but fortunately, I often brush and paste.

He was going to make a mirror out of this glass, well, the gift for the next visit was already available, and he needed two raw materials, mercury and tin foil, to make the mirror.

Natural mercury ore is basically not found, mercury is volatile, natural mercury is basically volatile, that is only by alchemy, most of the ancient Chinese alchemy is made of cinnabar, cinnabar is refined out of mercury, mercury is highly toxic and volatile, in the long run, mercury poisoning and death.

Now you can use cinnabar to refine mercury to make mirrors, as long as you pay attention to the seal, it is still very safe. As for tin foil, the composition of bronze is a mixture of tin and copper, which means that at this time, people could already refine tin, but no one used it to make tin foil, and the principle of making a mirror is that mercury and tin react to form tin amalgam, which is firmly attached to the glass and can also act as a mirror.

There are also alchemists in China, so they can make mercury out, if they can be refined at one time, they still need to test it again and again?

On February 5, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, the officials who visited the Khmer returned to China and learned that they were Khmer officials of the Champa and that the Khmer officials from top to bottom had scolded them.

Scolding and scolding, they still told the Khmer king Suriyadi about human trafficking, and they didn't care, even the people of his country, they didn't care. Here's what they say: They don't have to be trafficked, what if their parents sell their children, and besides, what do you care about the slave trade?

Hearing this, his face was very ugly, and he sighed and said, "No wonder the Khmer Empire will be weakened, can it not be weakened in this way?" "The whole court will attack their compatriots, and they will eventually lose the support of the people.

"Since they don't care, we'll take care of it." He decided to visit the Khmer occupants today. Previously, he had also visited them several times, all to comfort them or something, after all, although this was their homeland, their hometown was far away.

"That's the way it is." He sighed, he had already told these people the whole process of this visit.

Those people didn't look surprised, and they asked, "It doesn't look like you're surprised. ”

So someone said: "We are inhabited by Cham people almost inside and outside, and the Khmer king has arranged for Khmer officials to govern us, and we have been oppressed by those people for a long time, and our taxes are much higher than those of other normal Khmers." ”

"I didn't expect our compatriots to suffer such a catastrophe." He sighed, and the other Cham officials were also angry.

After hesitating, he said, "If you don't mind, you can live in this place in the future,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." They bowed down in thanksgiving, and then they said, "I hope that Your Majesty will save them from the sea of suffering, for they are your people, just like us, and you must save them." ”

He agreed: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to get them out." ”

"You have time to register in the Vijaya government, and the officials will arrange everything." Pengqiao Road.

The next day, the company directly summoned hundreds of officials, and everyone realized the urgency of the matter, and there had not been such a large-scale gathering in the past year except for Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I called you here to see what you think of the Khmer people. Everyone knows that our diplomats are humiliated by other countries, and this is an insult to our country. Yesterday afternoon I went to visit the Khmer occupants and they said that our compatriots were not doing well in the Khmer and that they had been oppressed and that we had to get them back. ”

"Your Majesty's position is our position, and we must bring out our compatriots."

"Yes." Everyone agrees, and foreign officials who generally do not take a position seem to have been exaggerated at this time, and they have rarely expressed their positions.

Ji Pengyu nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees, what method do you think is good to use to get them out?" ”

Maya Kuiyu said: "Your Majesty, my suggestion is to directly send troops to take back Zhan County. "Maya Kuiyudo is a hawk, and it should be said that most of the generals are hawks, and they all advocate a solution by force.

There was no response, he was waiting for the advice of others.

"Your Majesty, why don't we negotiate with the Khmer and extradite them back to China?" At this time, another person expressed his opinion.

If war is declared on the Khmer in the name of saving their compatriots, it is difficult to determine whether other countries will form an alliance to fight back against him in order to prevent the expansion of the Cham Po, and if he loses, Priango will definitely be lost, and Panduranga and Vijaya are also in danger. As for negotiating with the Khmers, just because of the arrogant appearance before, there is a high probability that they will not help, and maybe there will be vigilance.

Zheng Shijian, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, said: "Didn't we start a newspaper? At present, the sales of Zhanbao in China are very stable, and there are other people who have started local newspapers, but the sales cannot catch up with us. What I mean by this is why we spread the Zhanbao to other countries, so that our Zhanbao has a certain influence in other countries, and when the time comes, we publish the news of the search for Zhan people in the newspaper, and when they come to the door, we will directly take them back. ”

Ji Pengyu nodded, this plan was more reasonable for him to hear at the moment, and said: "Yes, just adopt Xiao Zheng's opinion, what do you think?" ”

"Agreed." Even if the opponents didn't say anything at this time, they all agreed with the plan.

And Zheng Shijian fell into a state of doubt about life at this time: he called me Xiao Zheng, and His Majesty actually called me Xiao Zheng.

"Since everyone agrees, let's dismiss." He stood up and said.

So everyone in the room left, they still had their own work to do.

Ji Pengyu saw everyone leave, and was just about to leave, but found that Zheng Shijian was still sitting there.

This young man is stunned, he saw him in a daze, he went up and slapped Zheng Shijian, Zheng Shixuan came back to his senses, looking at the conference room where he was alone, he scratched his head blankly, what about people?

"Xiao Zheng, the meeting has ended, it's time to go back." Pengqiao Road.

Zheng Shi recommended: "Okay." So he hurried away.
