Facing the coercion of the Song Xia mission, Fan Zheng suddenly said unconsciously:

"The annual coin of the Liao State is only about 500,000 guan per year, and as compensation, the Great Song Dynasty has a million, or even tens of millions of guan, and is ready to do it with the Liao State."

"Millions, even tens of millions!"

The Liao envoy couldn't help but breathe, what a wealth this would be.

Yelu Nanyin said in disbelief: "I don't know what Master Fan is talking about............ the buying and selling. ”

"The Silk Road." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Silk Road!"

Yelu Nanyin muttered.

The concept of the Silk Road did not exist at this time, but that did not prevent people from easily understanding this trade route.

"In order to punish the Western Xia for repeated border violations, the Great Song Dynasty will impose economic sanctions on the Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty will close all the fields of the Western Xia, connect the Western Regions through the Liao State, and reproduce the glory of the Silk Road, and use the profits of the Silk Road to make up for the loss of the Liao State's New Year's coin." Fan Zhengdao.

"The Profits of the Silk Road."

The Liao State was not unaware of the profits of the Silk Road, and the proportion of silk accounted for as much as sixty percent of the coins of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Western Xia naturally did the same, from this point of view, the Liao State and the Western Xia were in a competitive relationship, if the Western Xia Silk Road share was all handed over to the Liao State, and then from the Great Song Dynasty to continuously transport silk, it would definitely reproduce the glory of the Silk Road.

Wei Ming's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said bitterly: "Princess Yelu think twice! This is the Song Kingdom's divisive plan. ”

The Liao envoy fell silent, they naturally knew that this was a discordant plan of the Song State, but such a huge benefit was enough to make the Liao State feel excited.

Yelu Nanyin suddenly sneered and said: "Doctor Fan has a good calculation, but it's a pity that Doctor Fan doesn't know anything, and the silkworms of the Han people have already leaked out!" The Great Qin of the West had already mastered silk technology, the price of silk had plummeted, and the Silk Road had existed in name only. ”

"Ahh

As soon as this news came out, the missions of the three countries were in an uproar.

The Western Xia envoys were ecstatic, and the faces of the Great Song envoys changed greatly, if the huge benefits of the Silk Road were lost, how could the Liao State be willing to abolish the New Year's coin. ”

Fan Zheng heard this, but he didn't hurry and said: "The Great Qin that Her Royal Highness the Princess said is Eastern Rome, and its capital is called Byzantium. ”

Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to be so proficient in the Great Qin of the Extreme West.

"Doctor Fan is very knowledgeable, Nanyin admires!" Yelu Nanyin nodded, and then changed his words: "But since Lord Fan knows Rome and Byzantium, he should naturally know that what Nanyin said is true. ”

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What the princess said is indeed true, the Silk Road prevails, silk is equivalent to gold in the extreme west, and the Great Qin people covet the silkworm technology of the Han people, so they sent Hu Shang to hollow out the middle of the bamboo pole in the name of business, and then put the stolen silkworm into it, which evaded the inspection of the officers and soldiers, and eventually led to the leakage of the silkworm." ”

"It's unreasonable!" Cai Bian said angrily.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "However, the people of Daqin only stole the silkworms, but did not steal the secret weaving skills, so far the weaving technology of Daqin is extremely backward, its silk and the silk of the Great Song Dynasty are simply different from the cloud and mud, and the silk of the Great Song Dynasty is not without advantages." ”

Fan Zheng stretched out his hand, and a small official of Honglu Temple presented a fine silk horse and placed it in front of Yelu Nanyin.

Yelu Nanyin touched the soft and silky silk in front of her in amazement, what Fan Zheng said was true, the silk of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed extremely exquisite, even now it is still highly sought after in the Western Regions.

"And the Silk Road is not just silk, porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty, and tea! It is still more expensive than gold in the Western Regions. Fan Zheng stretched out his hand, and a set of exquisite porcelain and fragrant tea leaves were placed in front of Yelu Nanyin.

Yelu Nanyin suddenly pounded, as Fan Zheng said, although the silk technology leaked, but its weaving technology is still leading, the porcelain and tea of the Great Song Dynasty are extremely popular in the Western Regions, especially tea, which is an indispensable thing for nomads, and its value is incalculable.

"Princess Yelu, don't listen to the demagoguery of the evil doctor Fan Zheng."

Wei Ming Ah Wu suddenly said anxiously, how could he not know the price of tea, in the annual coins of the Song Dynasty, a large amount of tea was sold to the Western Regions by the Western Xia, which was the source of wealth of the Western Xia.

"And if that's not enough, what about life-saving medicines!" Fan Zheng waved his hand, and presented a batch of Chinese patent medicines, after the doctor's change, the medical skills of the Great Song Dynasty are already well-deserved in the world, and the medical skills of the Western Regions are backward, and the drugs that can heal people's lives will definitely be popular in the Western Regions.

This time, even the deputy envoy of the Liao State who was really in charge was also moved, without him! Once these goods are transported to the Western Regions through the Silk Road, they will definitely be rich in money.

Cai Bian on the side echoed: "The huge benefits of the Silk Road have made a lot of contributions to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”

Wei Ming Ah Wu angrily reprimanded: "Princess, think twice, the evil doctor Fan Zheng has always been demagogic, and its purpose is to divide Liaoxia and let the Great Song Dynasty avoid the trouble of the New Year's coin, once the Great Song Dynasty gets a chance to breathe, it will be the end of Liaoxia." ”

The excitement of the Liao envoy suddenly disappeared, they naturally knew that the purpose of this trip was to try their best to suppress the Song State, and if they agreed to Fan Zheng's policy, they were afraid that the Song State would become bigger.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "If the Liao State seeks wealth, the benefits of the Silk Road are enough to be several times the year coin, if the Liao State intends to weaken the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be the Song and Liao Peace Road, for a paper covenant, the Great Song Dynasty has paid the price of tens of millions, it is enough, rather than dying, it is better to fight, the Great Song Dynasty now has the earth-shaking thunder in hand, and it may not be defeated." ”

"Earthquake Thunder!"

The Liaoxia envoy couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but think of the battle of Pingxia City, and knew in his heart that such a terrifying firearm was probably the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Jointly open up the Silk Road, both Song and Liao have benefits, only the interests are at stake, peace is both benefits, war is defeat, the way is peace, if only the interests of the Great Song Dynasty are damaged, Song and Liao will never be able to peace." Cai Bian said loudly.

Yelu Nanyin suddenly fell into hesitation, this is the sincerity that she has been persuading the Great Song Dynasty to be peaceful, but the Liao Kingdom is peaceful?

"This princess can pass on this strategy to the imperial grandfather." Yelu Nanyin finally nodded.

"Princess Yelu thinks twice! This is the conspiracy of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wei Ming Ah Wu said bitterly, if the Liao State accepted the proposal of the Great Song Dynasty, the situation of Western Xia would be even more miserable.

However, the Liao envoy was unmoved.

Without him!

Just because the Great Song Dynasty gave too much, the Liao State enjoyed the benefits of the Silk Road exclusively, which is simply a great thing, and in the face of such huge interests, the Liao State is not allowed to be unmoved.

When Fan Zheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"There is no diplomacy for a weak country!"

This was the case in the Great Song Dynasty, and the same is true in the current Western Xia!

Now that the Song army, which controls the earth-shattering thunder and the fortress, has gone up a step in defense to ensure its own safety, and the Song army already has the power to negotiate.

And the defeated Western Xia could only experience the helplessness of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning.
