Seven days later, a warship docked at the port of Gangneung, and from the warship, Yuan Xian arrived with Nan Chen's peace team.

After a long discussion, Nan Chen still decided to negotiate peace with Xiliang first, so he sent a team of envoys.

In fact, since there was no counterattack two days after Poyang County was attacked, Yang Guang and others had already expected that the other party could only sue for peace, and if they really wanted to fight, they would have already fought it.

Yang Guang also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he bluffed the other party, fortunately, the emperor of the other party was Chen Shubao, if he was replaced by Chen Shujian, it would be troublesome.

Although they have the advantage of firearms, and the soldiers of the Great Sui are not afraid of Nan Chen, but after all, Nan Chen has more than 200,000 sailors and the number of warships far greater than that of the Great Sui, and they really want to press over to fight Xiliang, Yang Guang predicts that this battle will still be won by the Great Sui, but it will be a tragic victory, so a lot of preparations have been made in the territory of Xiliang.

After all, the number of firearms is not enough, and it has not yet reached the level of cross-era strikes.

Yuan Xian disembarked from Nan Chen's warship, and Xiao Cong personally greeted him in the harbor.

"The foreign minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Daliang."

"Yuan Xian's name, Lone has also heard of it, a pillar in the south sky, and he has admired it for a long time."

The other party was so polite, Yuan Xian also laughed: "Your Highness has praised it." ”

In fact, in front of Nan Chen, Xiliang is just a small country, and the etiquette for Prince Xiliang is just passable on face, but everyone knows who is standing behind His Royal Highness Prince Xiliang.

Yuan Xian said respectfully: "When I first arrive at Guibao Land, can I enter the palace first to meet His Majesty Emperor Liang?" ”

"Nature."

Respectfully took them to the palace, Yuan Xian and others met Emperor Liang first, Yuan Xian wanted to talk to Emperor Liang directly about peace, but Emperor Liang kicked the ball to Xiao Cong.

"I've been a little tired lately, and many diplomatic matters are handled by the crown prince."

After being excused, Xiao Cong took them to the place where they stayed, and the place where they stayed was directly opposite Xiliang Bank.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, the elegant hall on the second floor opened the window to look, and the opposite side of the main street was Xiliang Bank, with a large façade and signboard, which was particularly conspicuous.

Similar to the size of a square area, several high-rise buildings with six or seven floors are being built inside, and the people coming and going at the door are particularly lively.

Xiao Cong said: "Mr. Yuan Xian, let's start a formal meeting tomorrow, and you can have a good rest today." ”

"Your Highness, I wonder if we can take a tour?"

Xiao Cong's face was embarrassed: "Sir, the situation between your two countries is tense now, and this request cannot be responded to, please forgive me." ”

"That's a shame, I looked across the street at Xiliang Bank, and I thought about going shopping."

"Oh, Mr. wants to go to Xiliang Bank, that's okay."

Yuan Xian asked with a puzzled face: "Why?" ”

"Because Xiliang Bank is a special place, it belongs to Daliang but not all of it, and it can be open to everyone."

"Oh? What is the reason for this. ”

Xiao Cong sat down and said: "Sir, in recent years, how fast the change of dynasties, as short as ten years, as long as decades, often the change of a dynasty will have a large group of people suffer, and there will be a large group of people how rich, our Xiao family and several big families discussed, for the safety of everyone's own property together became this Xiliang Bank, and signed an agreement to protect each other's property security, and even the Sui Emperor also agreed to this matter, so Xiliang Bank is special, even our Xiliang royal family can not interfere with its operation, And we also intend to promote our Daliang to become a truly permanent neutral country in the future through Xiliang Bank. ”

"Permanently Neutral ......"

"Yes, only in this way can the wealth of those big families be separated from the change of dynasty, even if it falls, in the end, the money of Xiliang Bank can still give their descendants some protection, so as not to break the bloodline."

Reading these words, Yuan Xian sneered in his heart, a permanent neutral country, then you still attack Poyang County?

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, if you want to become a neutral country, it doesn't mean that the support of the Sui Dynasty is enough."

Xiao Cong was not annoyed: "Our Liang naturally knows about this matter, and this matter was originally planned to be said tomorrow when I was discussing with you, since I talked about it today, let's talk about it first." ”

"We want to become a permanent neutral country, but now I am not a permanent neutral country, and even if it is a neutral country, if anyone bullies us, we must have the ability to protect ourselves."

"We, Da Chen, didn't use troops against Da Liang."

"Really?"

Xiao Cong sneered and took a sip of tea: "Before our Daliang officially transformed into a neutral country, there was one thing that could not be avoided, and it was also an eternal pain in my father's heart. ”

Yuan Xian immediately understood that it was Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhen.

"Mr. Yuan, you put yourself in my father's shoes and think about it, if it were you, your younger brother and your son would mutiny and want to kill you, can you let him go over this matter? If nothing is done, how will the history books be written in the future? And this is the biggest obstacle before our Liang becomes a permanent neutral country. ”

Xiao Cong said with a serious face, which also made Yuan Xian understand that they would not give in on this matter.

Indeed, as Xiao Cong said, if this thing is not done well, there will always be a history of shame during the reign of Emperor Liang in the future history.

Yuan Xian heard that this matter would be the key point of contradiction tomorrow, so he didn't discuss it for now, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, since you can, then let the foreign minister and others also go to see Xiliang Bank." ”

Xiao Cong nodded: "I'm just sorry, Mr. Yuan Xian, we have to let the guards follow, please understand." ”

"Nature."

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll ask my sixth brother to bring you."

Soon the sixth Xiao Jin took the guards to the inn and took Nan Chen's envoy team over.

Xiao Cong came to the next room, Yang Guang was waiting here, he looked down from the window, and watched Nan Chen's envoy team being taken to Xiliang Bank.

Xiao Cong said: "As we expected, they are very interested in Xiliang Bank, let the sixth child give him a good introduction, maybe they can really let them save some money to come in." ”

Yang Guang looked out the window and said: "People without assets are thinking about how to make money, people with some assets want how to increase their assets the most, and people with a large number of assets want to ensure that their assets do not depreciate, and now the biggest risk is the change of dynasty and the rise and fall of their official positions, these two are the factors that can make them all come to naught overnight, not only they are afraid, I am also afraid." ”

Taking advantage of everyone's psychology, this Xiliang Bank is the outpost of Yang Guang to fight Nan Chen, if it is really possible to let the nobles of Nan Chen deposit money and slowly accumulate it, in the future, the nobles of Nan Chen would even rather Nan Chen fall than Xiliang Bank fall.

After all, according to the rules of the past few decades, the dead and poor do not die Taoist friends, and the court does not fall the door valve, and the patriotic heart of the people in this era is pitiful.

Why is it that when facing the Turks, we can unite as one, because everyone knows that the Turks are fighting and it is a matter of extinction, but the Sui Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty are different, no matter who wins or loses, stay out of the matter, just change the emperor to worship.

In this case, it is not a big problem for the money to be stored in Xiliang Bank.
