Chapter 243: Marriage Comes to the Door
The family has food in stock, and there is no panic in my heart.
When the people of the world have more than enough food and clothing, they will consider having a few more children, which can greatly expand the population of the Great Wei.
Now the total population of Great Wei is less than 30 million.
The reason why the number is small is that the people are often in a situation of war and war, and they dare not give birth, and they cannot support them if they are born.
The second is because this era is too poor and food is very scarce.
If you can't lick your stomach yourself, how can you give birth to the next generation?
Since Li Xingchen crossed over, the problem of people's livelihood has been greatly solved, and the cultural level of the people is gradually improving.
As for the population issue, they will not implement it until the national economy is brought up.
If you are not in a hurry, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step.
The Turkic princess looked at Li Xingchen and asked, "What does Your Majesty of Great Wei mean?"
We are indeed very sincere in establishing trade relations with Great Wei.
If Your Majesty agrees, we will write a letter back to China for the king to decide. ”
Everyone has reached a tacit understanding, in short, what a country wants to do with Great Wei, other countries will come to intervene, so as not to be occupied first.
At this time, the representative of the country of Guizi raised questions.
"Your Majesty, can't we trade without building roads? Building roads is a waste of financial and material resources. If there is a lot of business, the cost can be paid back quickly. But if there is not much business, won't the money for road construction be wasted? ”
All eyes were on Captain Turtle Country, wondering how he could ask such a stupid question.
If you can establish trade with them, it will be beneficial and harmless, and you can even have good relations, so why not?
Li Xingchen looked at him indifferently.
"Building a road may seem like a lot of money in advance, but it will save half to a third of the time.
Time is money, and the cost of building roads will come back soon, unless you don't want to establish more trade with Great Wei, then I won't force your country to establish a shortcut with Great Wei. ”
The representative of Qiuzi State stopped talking for a while, he was not allowed to pay attention to this matter, he asked too many questions, and he couldn't stop offending Li Xingchen.
"How much does it cost to build the road, have you and Queen Yuli estimated the cost and time?" One of the captains asked.
Building roads has been extremely expensive since ancient times, and it will take a long time.
The stakes are so high that if you don't ask clearly, you can't rashly agree to build roads.
Li Xingchen smiled.
"I think you are misunderstood, it's not that every country has to build a shortcut to come to Dawei, in this case, is there any other place around Dawei besides the avenue? It's not enough to pick it up.
There doesn't need to be so many countries and so many roads.
There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and they can share the same avenue, and this is a matter that should be discussed between the countries that share the avenue, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
"Oh? Can it still be like this? ”
The eyes of the Turkic princess lit up, then the cost will be greatly reduced.
Li Xingchen said again: "So which countries are willing to establish contact with Great Wei?" ”
"Your Majesty, I have one more question." Dajin Guo's weak opening.
Li Xingchen squinted, "Say." ”
"Your Majesty, if we establish a relationship with Great Wei for a long time, will we be different from other countries in terms of the quality and price of goods?"
The relationship between Daikin and Dawei is the most awkward.
Some time ago, it was just defeated by the Great Wei and ceded a large piece of land.
As the defeated side, they were not sure whether Great Wei would give them the opportunity to cooperate, and they were even more uncertain whether Great Wei would favor one over the other after cooperation.
Li Xingchen waved his hand, "Business belongs to business, war belongs to war, and there can be occasional fights between brothers, let alone between countries?"
Rest assured, how can the great Wei and the great country be retribution? We must treat everyone equally in business.
As for how roads are to be built, where to start, how small countries share a common road, and tolls, these will be discussed later. ”
Daikin breathed a sigh of relief.
The Emperor of Great Wei personally promised that he would not favor one over the other, and that promise was very valuable.
"Is there any country that wants to? It is possible to raise your hand. If you don't want to, tell the front directly, so that you don't have to come to the next meeting. Li Xingchen looked at the delegates with a smile.
The people looked at each other, and gradually more than half of the delegates raised their hands, and those who did not raise their hands said that they wanted to write back to China and discuss with the king, and they were not allowed to make a hasty decision.
will disperse.
And they departed.
Li Xingchen went back to the dormitory to prepare for sleep, but Gao Yuli and Chu Li were still sitting there communicating.
It's almost dawn, don't they all sleep?
"Your Majesty, are you done?"
Chu Li yawned tiredly.
Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows and looked at her reproachfully, "You don't sleep, isn't this dead girl pestering you all night, talking nonsense to you, and disturbing your rest?"
How many times have I said that you are pregnant with a baby now, everything must be baby-oriented, don't let your body be too tired. ”
Then he looked at Gao Yuli with a cold face and scolded: "If you don't sleep, shouldn't others sleep either?" What are you trying to do all night here? ”
Li Xingchen thought that Gao Yuli was pestering Chu Li, and he kept talking all night to let Chu Li blow the pillow wind to him, so that he could take her as a concubine as soon as possible.
Li Xingchen was disgusted by this kind of behavior.
Gao Yuli felt that she was quite aggrieved.
Where is she not wanting to rest, she has long wanted to go back to sleep, and she has to leave many times, but Chu Li doesn't let people go, and pulls her to keep talking about the rules of the harem.
I heard it okay before, and I thought that my cousin was about to let go and marry her.
Later, the more he said it, it changed again, implying that Gao Yuli herself also had to work hard to show the unique charm of a woman.
This... A unique charm... Gao Yuli was very forced.
Isn't her appearance attractive enough? What kind of charm do you want?
Gao Yuli's face was full of embarrassment, "Cousin, I..."
She also wanted to explain to Li Xingchen that she didn't want to stay here, but when she saw his cold face, she didn't dare to explain.
What's more, explaining in front of Chu Li will make the other party misunderstand that he will throw the pot!
Li Xingchen turned his head to look at the gradually brightening sky, and said, "Lady, you rest first, and I will go outside with this girl to talk." ”
After that, Li Xingchen grabbed Gao Yuli and walked out and came to the Imperial Garden.
The hundred tables of last night's banquet have been cleaned up, and now they are back to their former appearance.
Li Xingchen lowered his eyes to look at her, Gao Yuli was tired and sleepy, and hung his head and looked very flustered.
It's really not that she wants to disturb her cousin's sleep, what should I do now, my cousin is definitely going to scold herself, make him unhappy again, and the chance of entering the harem is even slimmer!
Does my cousin's pillow wind really work? When will I get my wish?
In just a few seconds, Gao Yuli thought a lot, only to feel that the road ahead was long, and she didn't know when she would be able to get her wish.
