Chapter 880: Tea Diplomacy

"Insolent!" Liu Yi responded on the spot, "Do you want to completely break up with me, the Song Dynasty, and start an all-out war?"

Uncle She laughed and said, "So what if we start a full-scale war? Do you people from the Song Dynasty dare to fight here?"

"Whose army was defeated by the Yellow River a few days ago?" Liu Yi looked at Uncle Photography and asked.

"You!" Uncle She jumped up in anger and rushed towards Liu Yi like an angry little fat bear.

"Wait!" Alashu shouted.

But Uncle She didn't listen to him, so he pulled out his knife and struck at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi also pulled out his knife, and the two sides fought head-on.

Liu Yi took several steps back, and Uncle She stepped forward, preparing to hack Liu Yi to death on the spot.

The knife had already struck again, but was blocked by Alahu.

Uncle She was forced to take a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

"Uncle She, get back!"

"he……"

"Get back!"

Uncle She had a gloomy face and his eyes were full of resentment, but he didn't dare to say anything and stepped aside, not daring to mess up again.

"Envoy Song, you not only killed our people, but you also want to do it here. How can we cooperate in the future?"

"Dear Sir Alash, we are full of goodwill towards the Wanggu tribe, so we are willing to work tirelessly to transport tea from the distant Central Plains to enjoy it with you, but you have no respect for us at all.

, not only that, they also killed our merchants and looted our goods."

"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Ask Uncle She what he did."

"Uncle She, is what he said true?"

"These Song people are the most cunning. Their words cannot be trusted."

"If there is no evidence, it may be difficult to prove the authenticity of the matter." Alashe said.

"This is a personal letter from Yu Zhizhou to you."

After Ala Hushu took it and read it, he said: "I also want to maintain business with the Song Dynasty, but I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public if you ask me to punish Uncle She based on your one-sided words."

"Then what are your plans to sever contact with me, the Song Dynasty?"

"If the Song Dynasty can give an explanation for this murder, I think there is still room for easing things." A Lahu Shi said.

"Then what explanation do you want?" Liu Yi immediately sensed the true purpose of this cunning old fox A Lahu.

Liu Yi was a prefecture scholar who joined the army. This was a civilian official position, which was not considered low in a prefecture.

There are three types of people who can sit in this position.

One, it doesn’t matter, I just climbed up with my own brains.

Second, he has a very strong relationship. Let’s go through the motions and understand local land policies and civil litigation, and then be promoted to the left political affairs department to handle finance, because the finance of the Song Dynasty is closely related to land.

Three, those who were demoted.

Obviously, Liu Yi is the first.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to climb up from a local supervisor to a town official without any background or qualifications.

If Liu Yi can't even figure out Ala Hushu's true intentions at the moment, then he's really wasting his time.

Do you really not know that Alahu’s distortion was caused by Uncle She?

He may know, but he pretends not to know.

The purpose is to put forward conditions in front of Liu Yi.

Alashu walked back and sat down. He thought carefully for a while. Kamachin on the side said: "If the Song Dynasty can provide us with free tea for ten years and two hundred thousand catties per year, this matter can be done."

That’s it.”

Liu Yi laughed.

Kamachin asked: "Why is Ambassador Song laughing?"

"Two hundred thousand kilograms of tea, I calculated it based on the price of 100 Wen per kilogram, and it is worth twenty thousand guan." Liu Yi said, "For these 20,000 guan, I will give 5,000 cavalry and let them conquer this place within a month. How can it be so?"

Isn’t it better?”

Kamachin was furious when he heard this: "You are so presumptuous!"

"You were the first to be presumptuous!"

The people around him immediately drew their knives.

Liu Yi and his followers also drew their swords, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Uncle Photographer on the other side was eager to give it a try. This was exactly the situation he wanted.

After a moment of silence, Alashu suddenly burst out laughing: "Put your knives away, put them away."

Wang Guren sheathed his sword first, and then Liu Yi and others sheathed their swords.

Ala suddenly lost his kindness and said: "I heard that the Central Plains is a land of etiquette, which pays attention to etiquette, righteousness, and trust. This is the reason why I admire China very much, and it is also the reason why I am willing to cooperate with Yu Zhizhou. The trade between the two sides will inevitably produce some

Misunderstanding, if there is a misunderstanding, the two sides can sit down, have a good discussion, and resolve the misunderstanding. I think there is no need for a military confrontation."

Liu Yi crossed his fists.

Just as Yu Yunwen expected, Ala Hushu wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, but he had his own bottom line.

The bottom line for A La Hu lost is to maintain his ability to move between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and not to be completely separated from either party easily.

A complete tear would do him no good.

As for those who were killed by the Yellow River, as a leader, if he did not seek justice from the Song Dynasty, he would lose his prestige, which can be easily solved.

Because this matter was Uncle She's responsibility. If he led his troops out for a walk and the whole army was defeated, he couldn't blame his opponent for being too strong, right?

Moreover, Uncle Photography can also be charged with damaging the relationship between the two parties.

As for what Ali Hushu said just now that it would be difficult to question Uncle She without evidence, that was all meant for Liu Yi.

One set of rhetoric to the outside world and another set of rules to deal with internally. These are the basic means necessary for leadership.

"Sit down, Mr. Song, please take a seat."

Liu Yi and others then sat down.

This also fully demonstrates that if you act too weak when communicating with anyone at any time, you will not end well.

If you want to win respect, you must have strong strength and the right attitude.

After testing Liu Yi, Alahushe said: "Let's each take a step back on this matter. How about selling Song Dynasty tea to us at half price within three years, and guaranteeing a supply of 300,000 kilograms of tea every year?"

"Three hundred thousand catties is too little." Liu Yi said, "We will give you half a million catties. As for the half price you mentioned, I have to go back and ask Yu Zhizhou for instructions."

"Hahaha, good! It's refreshing!" Alashu raised his glass, his attitude had completely changed, "Here, let me toast you all, and I hope we can be friends forever!"

Liu Yi and others also picked up the wine glasses, and everyone drank the wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere became very pleasant.

When he learned that Alahushe wanted half the price and more tea leaves, Yu Yunwen not only wasn't angry, but became happy.

Tea leaves have two uses for Arashu:

First, those people eat beef all year round, and their desire for tea is naturally very high. Ala Hushu got the tea at half price, which was equivalent to having a monopoly on tea. This played a great role in uniting the people within the Wanggu tribe.

.

Second, the few people in Wanggu's tribe cannot consume half a million jins of tea in a year. He must be planning to sell it to the barbarians north of Yinshan Mountain.
