XVIII. Forcing and the East China Sea (Middle)

Just by the river of the Nianxiang River, Qiushui hunted a few prey, took out various cooking tools from the Tianxin Ring and began to cook vegetables. And the Emperor of the East China Sea also ordered most of the troops to retreat to the East China Sea, and only Dong Shuai was left to accompany the three elders and four marshals, after all, Dong Shuai and the people of the Yan and Huang tribes have dealt with each other, and they can be more or less familiar.

When all the troops in the East China Sea retreated, and Zhao Tieyun also led the members of the Yanhuang First Clan to arrive, seeing that the East China Sea army had retreated, Zhao Tieyun breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to salute Han Wenzheng and Qiushui, and stood beside Han Wenzheng with his hands down, the other Qian Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang stood behind him, and the members of the Yanhuang First Clan stood in ten rows and stood farther away.

Chairs and tables were brought in, and Han Wenzheng sat down and said, "Children, you have all come to see His Majesty the Emperor of the East China Sea, and we will have a lot of dealings with the East China Sea in the future, so we can't be rude." All the Yanhuang people bowed down to the East Sea Emperor and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." "No need to be polite. "The East Sea Emperor is a little flattered.

Han Wenzheng said: "These are my children, this is my eldest son, named Zhao Tieyun, he is very able to help me share affairs, with his help, I am much easier now." "Oh, what a talent, the patriarch is so blessed. "Hehe, in fact, they are not my own children, it's just that I came out to train, and I will take over the position of the patriarch of the Yanhuang clan in the future, they are all the elites of my Yanhuang clan, and they will come out with me to be trained, in the future, they will all hold various important positions in my Yanhuang clan, for convenience, so, they all call me a father, in fact, my father did not teach them anything, ashamed to be a father." "If even the patriarch is worthy of being a father, then I should kill myself, and my son can't mention it even more. "I'm really not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, look at other people's sons, polite, very strong, and decent, what about my own son?

There are only two people in the East China Sea, the East China Sea Emperor and Dong Shuai, and the Yanhuang clan is also Han Wenzheng and Qiushui are seated, and the others are standing in the distance, by the way, they set up a guard, seeing the performance of the Yanhuang First Clan, the East China Sea Emperor is also secretly frightened, although he can't know the strength of the other party, but the performance of the other party can be seen to be a powerful force, well-trained, and what he does is a leopard, which can be seen, from small to big, the strength of the Yanhuang clan is definitely much stronger than what he has seen.

Soon, the East Sea Emperor was also conquered by the delicacies of the Yanhuang Clan just like Dong Shuai, and he sighed: "Patriarch, now I really admire you, you can eat such delicious things forever." "Hehe, Shui'er's craftsmanship is nothing to say, but I'm not a gourmet, so Shui'er cooks for me, and I can't taste anything delicious, wasting her mind in vain, but I believe that if we can discuss good things with each other, it will be easy for Your Majesty to eat delicious food in the future." "Of course that's fine. ”

After a round of nonsense, the East China Sea Emperor couldn't help it, and asked: "The patriarch said that there is something to discuss, what is the matter?" Seeing that the other party turned to a formal topic, Han Wenzheng didn't talk much nonsense, and said: " Your Majesty, now there is only my Yanhuang clan on the Eastern Continent, and in the East China Sea, that is the territory of Your Majesty, and my Yanhuang clan will not go to the sea under Your Majesty to grab the territory under Your Majesty, but, after all, we are all neighbors, so we can be regarded as two races, two countries, should we demarcate our respective boundaries?" It turns out that Hangul has this idea.

The Emperor of the East China Sea was stunned: "Demarcate the boundary?" "Yes, determine the boundary between the two sides, so that we will not enter your East China Sea to make trouble, and you will not always run to my East China Continent to make trouble, isn't that very good? If the boundary is not demarcated, then, where is my Yanhuang clan and where is your East China Sea, everyone is not clear, when the time comes, what will we do with those who enter the East China Sea? Conversely, after we enter the East China Sea, I believe that Your Majesty will also find it very troublesome, right?"

The East China Sea Emperor thought about it and made sense, if the Yanhuang clan always ran into the sea, when the time came, he didn't fight, and he didn't fight, it was really a troublesome thing, if the boundary could be demarcated, then, it would be much more convenient to do things, from the other party's point of view, it was a very reasonable race, and then, if the other party was at a loss, he was not afraid that the other party would threaten with the Xuanyuan sword. When he thought about it, he didn't think it was a bad thing to demarcate the border, and said, "The patriarch thinks about the long-term situation, and I have no opinion on the matter of demarcating the border, but how should this boundary be demarcated?

Han Wenzheng said: "We are a race on land, you are a race in the sea, so let's take the sea and land as the boundary, the East Continent belongs to my Yanhuang tribe, and the East China Sea belongs to yours, what do you think?" "This is okay, I have no opinion?" The East Sea Emperor also understood that it was useless for them to want land, and they couldn't go ashore for a long time, so he still recognized this method of demarcation.

Han Wenzheng said: "Of course, I have some additional opinions, first, on the issue of territorial waters. "Territorial waters, does the patriarch also want to occupy a piece of the East China Sea?" "Hehe, what can I do? My Yanhuang clan is not a sea-born race, but Your Majesty should also know that any land race will have maritime trade and other things happen, and my Yanhuang clan also needs a piece of territorial sea to develop our maritime undertakings, such as shipping, etc., this is not an exaggeration." ”

The Emperor of the East China Sea thought for a moment and said, "This is okay, I don't know how many patriarchs do you want?" "It's very simple, according to the practice of my Yanhuang clan in other places, from land to out, within fifty kilometers is the territorial waters of my Yanhuang clan, what does Your Majesty think?" Han Wenzheng opened his mouth widely, on the earth, the territorial sea is only twelve nautical miles, and it is only about twenty kilometers, and he is more than double as soon as he adds it, it is really dark.

The East China Sea Emperor was relieved when he heard this, but the land area was 50 kilometers, which was not a very large area, you must know that the area of the East China Sea was more than one trillion square kilometers, even if the coastline of the East China Sea was several million kilometers long, it was only 100 million square kilometers, only 1/10,000 of the area of the East China Sea, which was okay, so he said: "Yes." ”

Han Wenzheng said: " The second question, on the question of my Yanhuang tribe passing over the East China Sea, His Majesty also knows the way, there are two kinds of ships, one is a warship, which is used for war, and the other is a variety of cargo ships and fishing boats and other non-war ships, my Yanhuang clan will inevitably pass through the sea of the East China Sea in the future, so if it is a warship to pass from above, we will notify you in advance and wait until you approve before setting off, but if the general non-war ship, we will not make any special notice, but just inform you that you will set off and pass, what does Your Majesty thinkOf course, this is before the route is determined, maybe our ship will travel around on the sea surface of the East China Sea, but when the route is discovered, our lord will strictly follow the route, and will never break into your special area, which Your Majesty can rest assured. "Strictly speaking, that's fair, you can't help but let it pass.

The Emperor of the East Sea thought for a while and said, "There is no problem. "Very well, it seems that Your Majesty is a very sensible leader, and it is a toast for us to have such a sensible neighbor. The two of them each drank a glass, and Han Wenzheng said: "Third, on the issue of fishery, Your Majesty, there are countless fish in the ocean, of course, I mean normal fish, not the sea tribe that already has wisdom, this fish is the resource that my Yanhuang tribe needs, I think, my Yanhuang tribe can catch some appropriately, can it?" "Yes, but it must be within our designated area, and there must be a definite data on the production, of course, our sea tribe can also sell fish to you." "Of course, that's fine, then the question is settled. "Yes, the patriarch is so happy. ”

Han Wenzheng said: "The fourth question, regarding the mineral resources on the seabed, I think that you sea tribes should not be able to make large-scale use of them, but can they be mined and traded with us? Or can we cooperate with us in joint development?" "At this point, the Emperor of the East China Sea has a reserved attitude, saying that it is joint development, who knows what you are thinking, no, you can't go deep into the hinterland of the East China Sea.

Han Wen understands the thoughts of the East Sea Emperor, but there is no hurry, besides, it would be better if the Sea Clan mined it themselves, anyway, the Yanhuang Clan did not have the strength to mine the seabed now. He thought for a moment and said: "Okay, if there are more problems in the future, we will discuss and discuss, many things are not something we can solve at once, now I want to discuss the trade between our two sides, I plan to build a city here at the mouth of this Nianxiang River for the time being, this city will be a free city for trade between you and us, and we can all trade here." What do you think?"

The Emperor of the East Sea said: "I don't know how to manage the city of Ludao, and what currency will we use to trade, and how will the price be set?" "The city is on land, of course, it is managed by my Yanhuang clan, but since we are a country with the same status, then, the nobles can also set up various management offices here, such as exchanges, markets, offices, Consulates and so on, we have sent their own plenipotentiaries stationed here, and this plenipotentiary is responsible for handling anything, and if they can't handle it, we need to deal with it together. As for currency, it is unknown what currency did the aristocracy use? Of course, my Yanhuang clan has my Yanhuang currency, we use gold coins, weighing 20 grams, or pure gold coins, if we use different currencies, you can set up an exchange rate set by you and me for exchange, these things will be discussed slowly in the future, anyway, it will not be discussed for a while, as for the price setting, I think, this may take a relatively long time to set, of course, we may also refer to the price of the Western Continent to set, but, it takes a longer time。 "In principle, I agree with the patriarch, so let's decide, and then I will send someone to the nobles for consultation." "The Emperor of the East China Sea also agreed, this kind of thing is indeed not in a hurry, besides, the city has not yet begun to be built, and there is still a lot of time to negotiate. There is no hurry.
