Chapter 872: Hand in Hand
After entering, he found that the interior of the Golden Tent was not very luxurious, and after sitting down on both sides, only one woman stepped forward and poured tea for the four of them.
The faint golden phoenix, seeing that the Western saint took it with a warm smile, and did not see arrogance at all, Ye Qing withdrew his gaze, the spirit rhino return magic technique is not suitable for this occasion, even once, it is rude if it is more.
Listen to the introduction of King Wei: "This is clumsy Jing. ”
"I've seen the queen. Ye Qing smiled and took the tea.
The woman had a beautiful appearance, her eyes were a little ice blue, her expression was gentle and gentle, she smiled and responded, and after serving tea to Nuwa, she retreated.
There was this episode that finally eased the atmosphere, and after a few pleasantries, the topic turned to the movements of the Cai Dynasty.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and the Cai Dynasty has the most power at the moment, both of which are two...... Or that the common opponent of all the princes of different bloodlines is a good cut, and the two sides first exchanged some information and opinions of the Cai Dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally.
In a sense, the atmosphere of the consensus exchange that began this negotiation was a little bit of foreshadowing.
During the conversation, Ye Qing noticed the details, as long as he had doubts, King Wei would stop at the right time and ask, "What does Han Hou think?"
When he doesn't speak, the other party shows that he listens carefully, can't help but agree, and his words are simple and straightforward.
Ye Qing felt that things were interesting.
The national policy of the Northern Wei Dynasty was originally the way of Jinde to fight and kill, and it was thought to be a sharp blade, but now it seems that it is a heavy sword without a blade, and it is a great skill - it is to move forward, not changeable.
Words can only express information on the humanitarian level, and they can also deceive, and there is a richer feeling of meeting in person.
Body language, personality, qi, and even the perception in the dark.
Ye Qing now communicated with this King of Wei face-to-face for a while, and he had obtained some information for the immortals, so he had some numbers in his heart, and gradually had an overall prediction of the tone of this negotiation.
“...... I know that the Cai Dynasty is like this, when ...... In fact, the peace talks are still ongoing, and the two families just have some conditions that have not been negotiated. Ye Qing finally said with a normal expression, which was the end of the exchange, and smiled.
"Wei is our neighbor, or a big state, Meng Wei King warmly invited, I came, now they are all talkers, if you have something to say, you might as well say it openly. ”
The Western sage glanced at him, but King Wei ignored it, put down the teacup and asked, "What does Han Hou think?"
“...... I have to admit that in the past 30 years, we have rectified the rule of officials, refreshed the government and government, and stripped silkworms, which can be called a decadent trend of revitalizing a century. ”
"His diligence and diligent pursuit of governance cannot be denied, and Da Cai's dragon spirit is condensed because of this. ”
This is Ye Qing's summary of the system and a secret knowledge standard, called the dragon qi gathering and dispersing.
Dafan raised troops to level the world, the first to build a government, and the dragon qi gathered from hundreds of states and thousands of counties, which is a gathering.
And with the passage of time, it is followed by the absurdity of neglect and depravity - this is not mysterious, on the contrary, it is a contrast in reality.
Officials deceived the king or the court, delayed government decrees, and were corrupt, and they broke up the ranks.
The imperial court expropriated and extorted violently, bought and sold officials, and it was difficult to enforce government decrees, and the people fell apart without adding guilt without grace.
The army eats empty salaries and exercises less, and the army will become a grandfather soldier.
These, embodied in the mystery, are the dragon qi corruption and scattering.
“...... Although he is a little confused when he is old, he is not blind, and there is no internal trouble, but it is only because of some considerations that the heavenly court ordered the marquis to make the dragon and snake ...... together."
"Even so, it's still there, and it's hard to destroy it for a while. ”
"Now that the two families have announced an alliance, it is impossible, the Cai Dynasty is furious, and then we will bear the brunt of it, which is not beneficial to the two families, and it will attract firepower to other princes in vain...... King Wei stepped in, and he didn't want to step into a puddle, right?" Ye Qing's eyes were sincere.
King Wei understood the meaning, thought about it for a while, and agreed, and as soon as this person made up his mind, he acted resolutely: "If the clear agreement is not good, you can make a secret alliance, set the intention, and then sign the notarization when the time is ripe." ”
"Well, that's the question of the horizontal...... What can we do to ensure that we can keep our word, instead of tricking us into betraying the Cai Dynasty covenant and turning our faces?"
Ye Qing asked directly and spread his hands: "We have always been enemies, there is no deep cooperation between each other, and there is a lack of interest base. ”
King Wei did not deny it, clapped his hands, and asked someone to take a brief map of the northern land: "According to your Qingde's words, this time and that time, the situation is different, I think the strategies and resources of the two families can still complement each other in the future, and these can be discussed." ”
Ye Qing pressed his hand on his lap and looked at this picture, but unsurprisingly, there was no detailed information about the grassland.
"How?"
"Arrogantly speaking, your country's interests are in the east, and the strategic direction is not a threat to our country, am I not mistaken?" said King Wei, looking into the other party's eyes.
Ye Qing's eyes did not move: "Indeed, but the strategic direction of your country is to go south." ”
"This is the ...... before"
King Wei waved his hand: "You and I are both lords, I don't like to talk nonsense, we should make a decision." ”
As he spoke, he made a dagger between Yingzhou and Xiazhou, and just cut the long and spanning Beibi Mountain into two sections: "The Cai Dynasty has eighteen border states north of the Qianjing River, and there are many choices in our country, Yingzhou...... With the four border states downstream of Yingzhou, I can not take it for thirty years, and as long as you occupy it during this period, then even the scope of that trade route will belong to you......"
Ye Qing bowed his head and continued to listen, knowing that there must be conditions for this.
“...... But in the same way, in this lower reach, you have to be our barrier, and you can't let any hostile forces attack the steppe and make me suffer from the enemy behind my back. ”
Inserting the dagger on the map, King Wei made a gesture of invitation to Ye Qing: "With this as a boundary, you and I can agree that one family will go west and the other will go east, the goal is to carve up the world of the Cai Dynasty, and the duration of this strategic covenant is thirty years, how is this sincerity?"
"East and West Division...... Thirty years?"
Ye Qing's heart flashed slightly, the main direction of the grassland invasion in the previous life was the middle reach, Yingzhou was affected by its proximity to the middle reach, and the actual Northern Wei Dynasty was not strong enough to fully invade the eighteen states, and the conditions of the King of Wei were not expense......
It was quite a bit of a feeling of taking the opportunity to concentrate troops to the west and avoid fighting on two fronts.
However, the term of the covenant is quite honest, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been preparing for a long time, and there are hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers, which has an advantage over the imperial court to offset the disadvantage in size, and the attack speed will be very fast.
Even if the Heavenly Court does not allow civil war, but thirty years is almost two generations of ordinary people - if the Hanhou Mansion can't open up the ten states in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it means that the dividends of opening up the Eastern Wilderness are insufficient, and there is no capital to compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is honestly a vassal state.
Ye Qing thought for a moment, and his heart flashed the recent movements of the Cai Dynasty, and he said: "There is no objection to the deadline, I have an opinion on the demarcation, your country has crossed the Beibi Mountain, and the two families also need a strategic buffer zone - Xiazhou belongs to the traditional downstream, and I think it is good to have a mutual buffer zone." ”
"Leave the Cai Dynasty in the middle?" King Wei frowned, a little unhappy.
But considering that the beasts were easy to rub against each other, he pulled out the dagger and reinserted it on Xiazhou, and said neatly: "Yes, but the buffer is not enough to show that in order to harmonize the friendly relations between the two countries, you will have to provide us with cheap supplies in the future-especially spirits, spirit stones, steel, and grain, you Yingzhou has recently defeated the smuggling opponents of various states, and occupied almost half of the grassland market, right?"
"Where, where, it's all small profits and quick turnover, and rising stars can only do that. ”
Ye Qing said without blushing, knowing that he was afraid that he would raise the price after monopolizing the market, he smiled secretly in his heart - the cost of industrial mass production in Yingzhou has been reduced a lot, especially in labor-intensive industries and heavy industry, looking at the cost of parity is actually cheaper than the cost of other states, the profit is very large, and the cost will be lower in the future.
When it is the same as the previous cooperation business with Shonan, this statement cannot be admitted: "The price mechanism must be a win-win situation for both parties, and in the future, the price of various raw materials will rise, and the price of commodities will not always change." ”
Seeing that King Wei's face was a little displeased, Ye Qing knew that he couldn't be fooled, King Wei didn't understand the industrial economy anymore, but it was not difficult to inquire about the prices in Yingzhou.
So he threw out a plan: "However, if the raw materials of your country are sold, we are willing to sign a futures contract with us, and the price and quantity will be predetermined in advance, so that our workshop can guarantee a lower price to obtain the expected raw materials - yoctana, cassava, some brewing materials, or iron for steel...... Then we will also provide it to your country at a stable and low price. ”
"Your country can clearly determine the output according to the contract expectations, not to mention resource optimization, but also avoid the loss of price fluctuations, and more importantly - stable dìng!"
"You and I are both sovereigns, and we should understand the significance of this steady dìng to the national policy. ”
"What else can you do?" King Wei narrowed his eyes, a little moved.
Ye Qing nodded and said: "And this is equivalent to our two official crackdowns on smuggling, from the beginning of production regulation to the final payment, it is no longer directly in the hands of the tribes, but belongs to the national trade, most of which belongs to the treasury, and then distributes to each family...... This is grace from above. ”
"I have to say, this last point is really fascinating. King Wei thought about it and somewhat understood the benefits of this win-win situation to the centralized rule of the two families, so he still cautiously said: "You can try it for a year first, and then see if it works." ”
"It's fine. Ye Qing didn't think much of it, but he knew very well in his heart that he would not give up once he tried.
Next, they talked about some material trade cooperation plans, military mutual trust mechanisms, and high-level liaison hotlines, and the general direction of cooperation was basically set.
Seeing that it was getting late, King Wei kept Ye Qing to rest for a night, and ordered him to go outside, and then the attendants came in with a plate of vegetables, set up a banquet, and a team of dancers of various ethnic styles came up: "In the past, you came to the grassland in a hurry, this time you might as well taste the customs here." ”
Ye Qing didn't know what he was referring to, and at this time, Nuwa was on the side, so he smiled and changed the topic: "Actually, our real enemy is not the Cai Dynasty, but the outer regions, so let's discuss how to deal with foreign ships......
"Oh......"
Sitting and protecting Nuwa, as well as Western sages, basically do not speak, just listen, and occasionally their eyes are staggered, all of which are cold and biting.
The negotiations were harmonious, and in fact they were harmonious, and for a virtuous monarch, it was almost an instant hit, and there was nothing superfluous to say.
At this time, it was even more speculative, only to see the dark incense wafting, staggered, and slightly drunk, these two lords were looking at each other and laughing, raising their glasses and touching each other.
For the sake of a common goal, to attack the imperial court, the two decided to move forward hand in hand.
