If Da Wei keeps his promises, it is good to add a zero at the end, after all, which country does not have hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

One handful, one in the arsenal, there is still a rush part, four or five hundred thousand is the regular number.

But it's still that problem, there is no guarantee that the money will be given, and Dawei will not give the goods!

"How much does it cost?" Deputy Qi Chang asked.

"Well, we still have to discuss, you can think about how much you want first, it must be a large amount, and we will talk about it in detail another day, how about it?" The prime minister laughed.

Regarding the cost of the black blade, the prime minister is not clear, so he can't answer indiscriminately now, everything has to wait for Li Xingchen's arrangement.

"In that case, is your majesty still here?" The Qi Chang envoy asked again.

It's the middle of the night, and I guess I won't come.

Since the prime minister said that he could accept the reservation, it proves that His Majesty also means the same.

"Don't wait so late, Your Majesty may not come..."

"Who said I couldn't come?"

Li Xingchen's voice came from the door, and everyone stood up and saluted, "Meet Your Majesty Great Wei." ”

Li Xingchen stepped in and sat on the main seat, "Where have you discussed?" ”

"Your Majesty's representatives from various countries said that if you want to order a black blade, you need to negotiate the purchase quantity first." The Prime Minister laughed.

This matter was discussed with Li Xingchen in advance last night, so Li Xingchen knew the current situation with every word.

"So, as for the matter of the Black Blade, how much to order, you can consider for yourself when you go back.

I have one more thing to discuss with you and see what you think. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." The envoys were strange, the Great Wei Emperor still had ideas to ask them?

It must be a very important thing to be able to come from the mouth of His Majesty.

"I have only just ascended the throne not long ago, and before that, I have also made statistics on the various national highways of the Great Wei, and found that there are not many roads leading to other countries, and the roads are rugged, which greatly hinders the communication between countries.

When you came over, you must have discovered this problem, and you have all done all kinds of sparing, and you have been delayed on the road for several months.

If the road can be built, it will bring great convenience to the two countries.

To tell you the truth, two days ago, Queen Liuli came to Dawei first, and she told me about it.

Preparing to build the road from Liuli and go straight to Dawei, the benefit is that the time to travel is reduced by about half compared with before.

I am thinking that if your countries can be the same as Liuli, then they will definitely be able to strengthen the development between the Great Wei and other countries, promote trade, strengthen the economy, and achieve win-win cooperation. ”

The audience was in an uproar.

Liuli and Dawei Xiu Avenue are shortcuts?

Cut the time by almost half?

Halfway? How much does that have to be?

In this way, if the two countries develop transactions, they can save time and costs, and they will be much more frequent than the current various exchanges.

"Do you have any ideas?" Li Xingchen's gaze swept to the representatives of various countries. They were all shocked on their faces.

However, the representative of Liuli and the Turkic princess were just glaring at each other.

At the banquet just now, the four countries of Turkic, Liuli, Khitan, and Goryeo did not like each other.

Now the four countries have formed an alliance and confronted each other, and Queen Liuli and the Emperor of Great Wei are related to each other, and now they want to cultivate a shortcut, and Liuli is obviously showing favor to Great Wei.

If the Great Wei were allowed to intervene in the war between the four kingdoms because of the overtures, the Turks and the Khitan would definitely lose.

The most important thing is that what is the ultimate purpose of building a shortcut from Liuli to Dawei? Just for the sake of trade?

How much trade can there be? The likelihood of pleasing is the greatest.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and the Khitan representative hesitated to speak, "Your Majesty Great Wei." As far as I know, Liuli has no trade with Great Wei, so why did His Majesty build a shortcut to Liuli? ”

If this had happened to other countries, these representatives would have already exploded and demanded that the other side stop building the road.

Because this international issue is equivalent to a private alliance between the two countries, which will cause panic in its neighboring countries, in order to ensure their own rights, it is impossible for the two countries to build roads and promote friendship.

Li Xingchen smiled.

"You have to ask Queen Liuli about this, she gave me this advice, and I thought it was good, so I agreed.

I didn't ask her about the depths, she just told me to promote trade between the two countries in the future, and build roads to make it easier to come.

When I thought about it, this is indeed the case, building a road can reduce the time in half, why not? ”

The representatives wrinkled their eyebrows tightly, and the Liuli representatives were very confused and looked at Li Xingchen.

His Majesty Dawei is really good at throwing this pot, and will all the contradictions be led to Liuli?

Representative Liuli stubbornly said: "What I said about the exiled queen is true, I just want to make a deal with Dawei."

Liuli is the closest to Great Wei, isn't it normal to trade with Great Wei? What's all the fuss about? ”

"Really?" Deputy Qi Changguo was not convinced, but he could not produce evidence.

The Turkic princess gritted her teeth, and the shortcut began to be repaired, then the relationship between the Liuli Kingdom and the Great Wei would go further, and it was inevitable that the Great Wei would not intervene in the war between the four small countries in the future.

No, you can't be left behind.

The Turkic princess said, "Your Majesty Great Wei." My Turks are very interested in all the new things of the Great Wei, and I hope that Your Majesty can also give the Turks a chance to trade? ”

"Your Majesty, the same is true of my Khitan."

For a while, all the delegates expressed that they also wanted to trade, but no one mentioned the matter of building roads.

Li Xingchen smiled in his heart.

Don't pay for road construction and want to prostitute for nothing?

Of course, even if you offer to build a road, you will have to pay for it yourself.

Li Xingchen pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If you want to carry out trade, you must cultivate the Dao, it doesn't matter if you don't think the road is rugged and far away, my Great Wei escort team has precious time."

Also, even if you want to join in to build roads, not all countries can join, and it depends on some sincerity.

I really want to establish diplomatic relations with all countries, no longer just merchants as before, but open up diplomacy, commerce, and state-to-state transactions.

Road construction is to bring the fastest speed of travel to various countries, which improves the convenience of both sides, do you also have to show sincerity? ”

Li Xingchen began to step by step, asking them to take the initiative to say that they would pay for the road construction, and finally he showed a great expression of kindness and virtue, so it was perfect.

Of course, trading is not Li Xingchen's main purpose, he wants to use the resources of neighboring countries.

Use his resources to strengthen Great Wei.

Once a shortcut is built, it will expand relative to the territory.

For example, some grains such as hybrid rice and sweet potatoes can be transported to other countries for planting, as long as they are not given a small part of the profits, the overall amount of grain in Dawei will be several times more, so that the people can still have food and grain in excess of food and clothing.
