Chapter 45: The United States of America
The marriage book of four or five hundred words, and the one that talks about the business is less than twenty words, and Li Lin has to admire his father's brilliant writing.
"Prince Pingchuan, let's exchange marriage letters." After saying that, he beckoned a eunuch to go down, took away the marriage book brought by Pingchuan, and after Jixiang pressed the big seal instead of the old emperor, it was officially engaged, but because it was a marriage between the two countries, it basically would not change until now.
But the matter is not over, the important thing is not the marriage, but the purpose of the marriage.
"Father-in-law auspicious, please read another letter."
Ji Xiang bowed slightly, picked up another and read: "Now that the Northern Snow Country is leading troops, it is intended to be unfavorable to the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom and my Great Xia are cold lips and teeth, and they are also my Great Xia's in-laws. ”
"Obey." Li Lin received the holy decree and bowed to the dragon chair.
"Prince Pingchuan, tell me about the current situation of your Jinguo." Get straight to the point and get straight to the point, firstly, it is almost the same in private, and secondly, Li Lin is really annoyed, and he still wants to find a wife to eat roast meat.
"Our Jinguo first has 300,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Beixue Country, and the military rations hoarded in the three border fortresses can support the entire border army for a year, and they are well-equipped. In addition, military horses, crossbows, fire oil and other materials can be purchased in a month enough to saturate the 300,000 troops. Jin Pingchuan said with a little pride, according to what he said, this is a well-equipped and logistically strong force.
"Heh, listening to what the prince said, I don't need my Xia Kingdom to send troops to help me at all, it's not enough for me." One of the ministers snorted disdainfully after hearing this.
When Jin Pingchuan heard this, he could only squeeze his fists hard, and Jin Guo's combat power was low, and it could be said that he was as famous as they were wealthy. Because it is the middle of Great Xia and the Northern Snow Country, and pays a lot of New Year's coins to both ends, so as to exchange for safety.
The Jinguo army sells military rations, armor, and weapons at the top level, and is already the largest arms dealer, to be precise, an intermediary, the state pays money to buy the army, and the army is selling. What's amazing is that this reversal can really make money.
"Yu Shangshu, pay attention to your words." Li Lin looked coldly at the official who had just spoken sarcastically.
"The minister is guilty." The secretary of the military department bowed his head in front of him.
"Please also ask Prince Pingchuan not to care too much, we will definitely send troops to help, but the world is bustling for profit, and my Daxia is not a charity."
"That's natural, please say it bluntly, but Fan Jinguo can do it and never shirk!"
The dowry of 50 million taels is already a big income, but this is to buy the position of Daxia's army and his own wife, and the consumption after sending troops is not among them.
"Thirty million taels, how?" The normal quotation should first quote a high price, and Li Lin naturally knew it.
"What?" After hearing this, Jin Pingchuan asked again in disbelief.
"Your Highness Hirakawa, if you think it is high......"
"No, 30 million, just 30 million!" The joy is palpable.
At this time, the Jinping River turned into a golden light and pierced Li Lin's mind, turning into a desert, with cacti, camels, and the BGM of toku toku to da da da to da.
BGM was broadcast a few times, and Li Lin thought of a good idea, if this is done, it can completely solve the financial problem.
"Jinguo is really rich and strong, but His Royal Highness Pingchuan, I have a better idea, I can ask for 10 million taels less."
"Please." Jinguo's money is not scraped, as little as it can be, let alone so much less.
Li Lin stretched out three fingers.
"We only need 20 million taels this time, and we will take three covenants with us."
"First, you have also seen the Hongwu cannon shown to you before, and we will delve into other new equipment after the Great Summer, but this process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a lot of investment, and this money is paid by Jinguo. Of course, after the research results are obtained, we will give Jinguo a batch of these weapons, and the follow-up purchase of Jinguo will only need the general price, and this agreement is tentatively set for five years. ”
"There's no problem with that."
Jin Pingchuan has always wanted to strengthen the army, so he is still very happy to buy weapons, and it is a five-fold gift, which really makes him blush.
As for the pit in the study of new equipment, he felt that it was unlikely, if Li Lin wanted money, he had to have something to say, this kind of thing was hard to find, even if there was a Hongwu cannon in front of him, he didn't recognize it.
"Second, in the future trade between the two countries, the Jin State should give priority to purchasing the things of the Great Xia, and the merchants of the Great Xia should pay the same taxes as the Jin people in the process of trade with the Jin Kingdom. You don't have to worry, the transaction is an equal transaction, and if the merchants of Great Xia violate the laws of the Jin Kingdom, they will also follow the procedures of the Jin Kingdom. ”
This involves business, Jin Pingchuan thought for a moment and felt that there was no problem before nodding and agreeing, after all, this is the foundation of the Jin country, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
"Third, the dam I showed you before, as far as I know, Jinguo also needs it, and I can send workers to your side to build it and be responsible for the later maintenance. Later, there are similar projects, as long as Jinguo needs it, you can also go to you to build it, but the money for this construction and later maintenance needs to be produced by Jinguo. ”
"Of course, there's no problem with that."
Jin Pingchuan had talked to Li Lin before, but he just talked about it, not so detailed, and now there is naturally no big problem in the details, and he also knows how much effect the dam will have on reducing transportation costs after it comes out.
The first one, give a drawing for money, one, two, three generations...... Improve from generation to generation, exchange money from generation to generation. Military purchases, not to mention that only Li Lin can make equipment, even if the world is popularized later, Li Lin has made some improvements, and by the way, he has changed the hard parameters such as the muzzle diameter and the material of the shell, which will not make money.
The second one is even simpler, we sell what you sell, and we sell what you don't sell, and we don't have to pay a penny more.
The third is not how much money is in the infrastructure, the main thing is maintenance, but also depends on as long as you understand it, others don't understand, so the quotation is more arbitrary.
What is this called knowledge changing the fortunes of the country, the United States of America in the world.
"His Royal Highness Pingchuan is really refreshing, so that this king can't say anything more, I sent 200,000 troops to the border of the Northern Snow Country."
Li Lin responded very happily, and the ministers below did not object, after all, this time the troops sent to Great Xia were only to help defend, and there would not be too many casualties, and Great Xia could still get a good reward in it. The most important thing is that Li Lin has already responded, and no one in this court dares to object to the regent's decision.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Linyou went alone to see the old emperor who returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall early, the old emperor's face at this time was pale, and he didn't see any fear at all, sure enough, anger was the devil, and he could even suppress the real devil.
"The son visits his father." A shallow salute, then straightened up, slightly perfunctory.
"Rebel! Dare to come to see me! ”
Li Lin beckoned two little eunuchs to come over with chairs, and Li Lin sat down slowly, only then did he look at the old emperor with interest.
"It seems that the prescription that the son of the son is looking for you is really good, and now the father's body is no longer shaking, and his speech is high-pitched."
The old emperor then remembered that the rebel in front of him was the devil, but he would not be easily softened at this time, so he snorted coldly and said nothing.
Li Lin didn't react to this, picked up the tea in front of him, blew and took a sip.
"Father, the son is here to tell you the truth, and it is to give my father one last chance."
