Chapter 52: Resisting Fiercely
As soon as Luo Tian and the others walked to the threshold, Zuo Qing suddenly shouted:
"Your Majesty, are you alright?!"
Luo Tian's feet were unstable, and he grabbed the two people around him, trying to stabilize his body, but the two people were also taken aback.
These four people are like this, you pull me, I pull yours all trip on the threshold, a beautiful dog eats, and then there is a scream in unison.
"Ahh
Luo Tian and the others hurriedly got up and fled the scene like a fly, feeling ruthless in their hearts.
I will never let you go!
Ten seconds later.
"Hahahaha!"
"You still want to give us a ride in our country!"
"This battle is beautiful! The voice of the left deputy general is the finishing touch!"
The courtiers rejoiced again.
Lin Hao also sat up from the throne, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Today is to report the humiliation suffered by Zuo Qing in the Qingshan Marquis on that day, and after today, it will be the right thing for the family and the country. β
"Your ministers understand, my lord is wise!"
The courtiers spoke in unison.
This is our real little emperor, naughty and serious, he is a living emperor!
"Zuo Qing, you bring gifts to appease, Qian Lao, you send someone to send a letter to the lord of Jiaping Houguo, saying that our country is willing to build a bridge for them. β
"Building bridges?"
All the courtiers spoke in unison, not knowing where to start with this.
Lin Hao smiled mysteriously:
"If there is a bridge on the Qiushui River, won't our two countries be able to communicate with each other?"
"Your Majesty is wise, but the Marquis of Jiaping and the Marquis of Qingshan are incompatible, how can we say it?"
Qian Lao was puzzled.
"That's what I want, and they'll send an envoy to ask for clarification. β
Lin Hao's mind flashed to see the map of the Marquis of Jiaping.
The east and west parts of the Jiaping Hou country were separated by the river, but the river was too wide to build a bridge, so they could only detour, which became a problem over time, and the river also became the main hidden danger of the Jiaping Hou State being divided into two at any time.
It's really interesting to say, this river is the Qiushui River.
"Yes, the old minister will do it immediately. β
Qian Lao said respectfully.
The other important ministers bowed down and left.
Lin Hao's gaze fell on the threshold, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This Zuo Qing is really interesting!
On the same day, General Right led 50,000 soldiers and horses to set off towards Tieguan City, Qian Lao sent someone to send a letter to the lord of Jiaping Houguo, as for Zuo Qing to go to the four envoys with the prepared potatoes, and apologize to them according to the instructions of the little emperor.
......
Luo Tian and the other four envoys, who had rested for a few days, once again stood on top of the main hall of the Great Qianhou Kingdom, this time they were obviously much more cautious and respectful, not to mention the big salutes, but also brought gifts.
Luo Tian held the fine white porcelain vase and said:
"The lord of the country, this is the best white porcelain vase in our country, specially dedicated to the lord of the country, and the lord of the country is invited to accept it with a smile. β
"Zhou Qing, you are in charge of the treasury, you have written down all of these. β
Lin Hao ignored his words, and his cold eyes fell on Zhou Chong, who was distracted.
Zhou Chong is a subordinate of Tian Daren, after Tian Daren was imprisoned, he promoted Zhou Chong to office, just during this time, he did a good job, and there were no mistakes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but, Your Majesty, this white porcelain vase is not from the Marquis of Qingshan, it is made in our country, if the minister guesses well, there is a word 'money' printed under the vase. β
Zhou Chong came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed his hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!This vase is obviously from my Qingshan Marquis Country, how can it be from your country?"
Luo Tianben casually brought a piece of porcelain from the Marquis of Qingshan, and he didn't pay attention to what was printed on the bottom of the porcelain.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.
Isn't it enough to get off the horse last time?
Zhou Chong was neither humble nor arrogant, stepped forward and directly picked up the white porcelain and showed it to the courtiers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, is there a 'dry' word under this white porcelain?"
All the courtiers looked at each other.
It's really a long time to see everything, and it's really a "dry" word.
"It's really a 'dry' word. β
An envoy also glanced at it and said weakly.
Unexpectedly, he was greeted by Luo Tian's big white eyes, he bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Luo Tian, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Hao asked lightly.
"Lord, this white porcelain is indeed ......"
Luo Tian was about to speak, not wanting to be interrupted by Lin Hao,
"Let's get down to business, these little things, just go with the wind. β
"Yes, my lord, we in the Marquis of Qingshan really want to trade with your country, and the things of ten years ago have been written off since then, and our two countries go hand in hand. β
Luo Tian said the words sonorously, and he was not affected by the incident just now.
Lin Hao didn't speak, waiting for him to finish in one breath.
Sure enough, Luo Tian paused and said:
"My lord, after this trade, we want to get the right to grow potatoes, after all, we have the right to protect such a rare variety as potatoes. β
"In addition, after the trade is opened, we will provide accommodation for the merchants of your country, and we hope that your country will have the same conditions, if not, it will be unfair, and you will have to pay us more when some of our special goods enter your country......"
Luo Tian said a lot crookedly, and finally summed it up in just one sentence, if they want to treat the merchants of the Great Qianhou Kingdom fairly, they must have the same trading environment as the Qingshan Marquis, otherwise they will have to charge a "service fee".
The courtiers heard the smoke from the six orifices, and their fists clenched.
It sounds like it's talking about people, but in fact, I can't listen to a word, and I want to monopolize potatoes!
This time it's humble, but this condition is not polite!
The same thing, why are the things of their Qingshan Marquis superior to others!
This is simply an insult to our country, the words are mean and sharp, and it is difficult to hear it!
Lin Hao listened to him calmly, it was a whole hour, many military attachΓ©s were dozing off when they heard it, and the civil officials were clenched their fists when they heard it, eager to rush up and beat them.
Whew, it's finally done.
Lin Hao suddenly smiled:
"Why do you think we would agree to such unfair terms of trade?"
"It's very simple, there is the Qiushui River between the Great Qianhou State and the Jiaping Marquis State, which cannot be traded, and the Daqian Marquis seems to have a discordant relationship with the four vassal states headed by the Baishan Marquis, you have no choice but us. β
Luo Tian smiled confidently, his eyes full of banter.
Don't you just like to taunt people? Well, we accept it, so what? Aren't you going to obediently sign such an unequal contract?
Do weak countries still want to have power? Dream on! The barbarians of the Great Qianhou State!
"You don't want to live because you even speculate on my lord's thoughts?"
A military attache gritted his teeth.
He didn't know how to go back, so he could only say that.
Other civil servants spoke out in support.
"Your Majesty, even if he is reasonable, we must not agree to such an unequal treaty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!"
"Your Majesty, think twice! If we agree, how will we gain a foothold in the princes in the future?"
