Chapter 1210: A Small Country

It was said that three days would be three days, and sure enough, three days later, the prefect came over with a letter from their court.

"Lord Huang, this is a reply from our imperial court, and we agree to this matter in principle, but we also want to set up the same guild hall in your country."

Hearing the prefect's words, Li Xiang also looked at this guy with interest, he really didn't expect that there were really capable people in such a remote place!

Originally, I thought that these people would not set up a guild hall in Datang, but I didn't expect people to think of this too, since this is the case, then we can't unilaterally bully others.

"There is no problem at all, as long as it is any city on the border of my Tang Dynasty, including some cities in Nanzhao, as well as Chang'an, you can set up your guild hall, but there is a rule that our guild will strictly abide by your laws, and you must also strictly abide by our laws, once you commit something, then we will deal with it strictly."

Li Xiang's words seem to be very fair on the surface, but in fact they are not fair, because the Tang Dynasty is strong, so it can set up guild halls in many cities and support their operation.

The country is just a small country, and their annual financial income can't even catch up with the rich provinces of the Tang Dynasty, if you let them set up so many guild halls, even if you open this policy to them, I'm afraid they don't have the ability.

The prefect obviously didn't expect Li Xiang to be so good, and he actually opened so many cities to them at once, in fact, this is a manifestation of a great power, we are not afraid of you coming to our territory, all places can be opened to you, and they will not hide like you, but whether you have the ability is your business.

What's more, the people of your country only know that Datang is strong, but they don't know where Datang is strong, open up some border cities in our country, let your people go over and see more, and when you come back, you will know how capable my Datang is. When he came over with our soldiers, the resistance he encountered was a little smaller.

"Lord Huang, we only think about a border city and our country's tile city, and we don't think about opening up so many cities."

The prefect frowned and said, he is also a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to stay in this position.

There is a huge gap between the comprehensive national strength of the two countries, and it already requires a lot of money to open a guild hall in a border city, and it also costs money to have permanent officials.

"Does the prefect not have this right, if he doesn't have this right, please find a person with the right to talk to us, we can represent the Tang Dynasty, but I don't think the prefect can represent the court of the country of Piu."

Li Xiang's words made this guy's face a little unsightly, but Li Xiang was also telling the truth, you have to ask for instructions at every turn, if you negotiate like this, then when do you have to talk about it, who is not looking for someone to negotiate with? We don't want to waste saliva with you here.

Although the prefect felt uncomfortable and was embarrassed by others, Li Xiang was also telling the truth, he really couldn't be the master in this matter, so he could only retire again, and then have three more days.

Cao Lian watched it from the side was really exciting, although it was given three days, but our side grasped all the initiative, look at the expression of the prefect, this is not here to negotiate at all, it is clearly for people to come here to humiliate.

"It's almost the time to hand it over to you, you can stay here when you go back, we don't have the time to wait for them, what I'm asking for is that there are our guild halls in their bigger cities, you don't have to worry about how much it costs, you just need to get them to agree to this."

Cao Lian was digesting some of the things he had just learned here, and suddenly Li Xiang came to his side, startling this kid.

"I'm coming?"

Cao Lian said with some trepidation, if you know that you have only been in this official for the fourth day, can you be responsible for such an important matter? If that's the case, then I don't have the guts.

"Anyone has their own first time this king put you in this position, you must make achievements, otherwise I don't know how many people in the court have attacked me, do you think this official's identity is so easy to get? I don't know how many people are behind, waiting that if you can't finish this, then you can only go back and continue to be a businessman, or even a businessman. ”

Sometimes you should give some motivation, but at the same time, you have to give some pressure, for example, at this time, Cao Lian picked up an official hat from the sky, you can't put pressure on him at all, without Li Xiang is putting pressure on him now.

Cao Lian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, of course he understood how important the identity of an official is, a scholar has studied hard for 10 years, and in the end, he may not have a seven-grade county order, so he can only find an idle job in the capital and slowly boil it.

Now I am lucky, just met His Royal Highness Taisun and then had such a position, if I can't do things for His Royal Highness Taisun, then why put you in this place? Is there no one in His Highness's hands?

Thinking of this, this guy pinched himself hard, after making sure that this was not a dream, he had to express his position to His Highness.

"My subordinates understand, my subordinates must handle this matter well, and I will never disappoint His Highness's expectations of me."

Cao Lian said with confidence, although he is not a professional foreign affairs officer, but over the years, he has also traveled north and south, and has seen some things in society, and now Li Xiang has paved the way, and there is only one finishing work left, if you can't even do this well, then don't say that you are personally selected by Your Highness, and you don't have to embarrass Your Highness.

"This is what it looks like, in addition to the 20 guards at the door, I will continue to send you 50 cavalry from the country, don't look at them are relatively few, but all of them are elites, the most important thing is not to look at the armed forces under them, you must look at the prestige of our Datang, pull the banner and make a tiger skin, if you learn it, then you are the best official of the Imperial Academy."

In terms of diplomacy, in the final analysis, it is just a few words, Li Xiang has basically said it now, it depends on whether you will do this, if you can, then this job is not difficult.
