"First, I will open Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Wenzhou as special zones, and pilot laws similar to the Empire in the local area, and allow imperial merchants to invest and set up factories. The tax revenue is not higher than that of the local Song people. With the strong capital and maritime trade routes of the Empire merchants, coupled with the cheap labor and raw materials of the Song Dynasty, these goods can be sold to various places quickly and occupy the local market. This move will not only create taxes for the Song Dynasty, but also another major profit point in the Empire." Hong Tao put down the crab in his hand and stretched out a finger covered with crab roe and fishy smell.

"Yes, this is a win-win situation. It is indeed beneficial to the empire, but this alone is far from enough." Yi Yi didn't need to think carefully, and knew that what Hong Tao said was not a fool, but also very practical. Once the empire merchants could set up factories on the land of the Song Dynasty, without having to go through any intermediate links, the cost of almost all goods would be greatly reduced. This is of great benefit to the Jinhe Empire's trade strategy and national strategy. But compared with a war that has been prepared for five or six years, this benefit is obviously not enough.

"Secondly, merchants from the Jinhe Empire are qualified to participate in the bidding for public construction projects issued by the Song Dynasty court. The bidding process is made public, and the imperial government can send officials to participate throughout the process. With this promise alone, I guess Prime Minister Yi will not be moved, so let me talk about something practical. Starting next year, the Song Dynasty will start a coastal highway from Lin'an to Guangzhou, which will connect with the original riverside highway. In fact, the largest construction site is not in the south of the Yangtze River but in the north. Think about it, there will be many cities in the south of the Yellow River, the river embankment needs to be reinforced, water conservancy needs to be dredged, and roads are repaved.

, Whether the Imperial merchants are busy is a question. Moreover, the Imperial merchants do not have to worry about how the Song Dynasty court pays the rewards. Most of these projects will be jointly launched by the Imperial merchants, the Song Dynasty merchants and the Song Dynasty court. How to make a profit depends on specific analysis of the specific questions. I cannot give all the answers here." Just opening a few coastal cities is obviously not enough to satisfy the Jinhe Empire. Hong Tao did not expect to throw a few melons and two dates to beat the Jinhe Empire as a beggar, so he stretched out his second finger, and some crab shell debris were stuck on it.

"Can Your Majesty's promise come true? As far as I know, these interests are involved very broadly, and the court sometimes cannot make decisions." Speaker Wang was a little moved. The second condition that Hong Tao threw out was really touching. The interests of these infrastructure construction are not small, nor can they be completed in one or two years. This is a long-term cooperative relationship, which is not only beneficial to the empire's economy, but also allows the empire's power to penetrate into every field of the Song Dynasty Empire more conveniently. To put it simply, from the perspective of the Song Dynasty court, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hong Tao's behavior is to sell the country.

"I can't take on porcelain work without a diamond! Since I agree, I will say that I will do it. Could the Speaker be questioning my credit? Or I am questioning my character, thinking that I want to kill my son?" Hong Tao began to roll his eyes. This detail should be the content of the negotiation between the Minister of the Empire and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. In the negotiations of the emperor level, there should not be too specific matters. The leaders have done the work and have to use it for their subordinates.

"Dad, just negotiate terms and conditions, don't be sowed away. You taught me this kind of trick when you were ten years old and asked me to go to school to experiment. It's not new at all." Hong Jinhe hated his father's habit of talking, which was even ridiculous and provocative, and couldn't help but protest.

"If it is really possible to sign a formal agreement, I think I can consider it... I dare to ask the Prime Minister, do you have any other ideas?" Yi Yi was not only listening to Hong Tao, but also staring at Hong Tao's eyes. He wanted to see from these two windows of human souls what Hong Tao was thinking. These two policies alone have almost stripped the Song Dynasty. Could it be that the old emperor came back with great difficulty and really planned to give gifts to his son? This doesn't make sense!

"Third, our two countries can sign a regional defense agreement to carry out limited military cooperation. For example, the Song Dynasty can provide a military port for the Royal Navy of the Jinhe Empire near Dengzhou, allowing the Royal Navy to send a certain number of warships to station. For example, the Song Dynasty navy can lay off a large scale, reducing the scale of the navy to a number that is not enough to threaten the empire." Hong Tao's third finger stretched out again. In terms of length, the fingers he stretched out each time were longer than the last time. In terms of content, the conditions he gave were discounted every time. If the first two times were suspected of selling the country, the third time was a traitor, and even the national defense was sold.

"..." Hong Tao spoke very easily, but after hearing the third condition, Speaker Wang couldn't even say anything. The three of them looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Hong Tao who was eating hard with his cheeks. The only thing left was to have big eyes and stare at him.

If the three conditions offered by Hong Tao were followed, it would be really not difficult for the Jinhe Empire to fight the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty, which was paid for money, people, and time, could bring benefits to the empire. The Jinhe Empire wanted to rule the Song Dynasty, not to have the territory here, but to have the population and market here. To put it bluntly, it was to have interests. Now you can get these benefits without fighting, why not? The question is whether what Emperor Hong said is true. Even if the three senior imperial officials present knew Hong Tao's character, they would not dare to draw conclusions. This matter was too much involved.

"Look, I cried and shouted for benefits as soon as I came up. Now I gave it to you, and I was stunned again. I said that you are managing a huge empire. Can you be more promising? Don't be like a rustic guy who has never seen anything, and you will be blind when you encounter something? I haven't finished talking yet. Please listen to my fourth..." Hong Tao enjoyed this feeling of making people dizzy, especially a son who always thought he had grown up and had hard wings. Then he had to sell his strength to let him know why he had to call him father!

"Your Majesty, why don't you come again and have a crab... Let's make a total of three of us?" Yi Yi had eaten it once under Hong Tao, so he had no worries about being shameless, so he simply was shameless. When chatting with this old emperor, his face was the biggest flaw, and he was often caught and ravaged.

"Stop eating crabs, I'll go squat for a while. You can just do it. If you don't understand, you'll be able to ask Prime Minister Wen. But there's not much time, I'll have to give me a reply when I come back." I'm probably not alone in being able to go to the bathroom to make up a place for my stomach at the dinner table, except for Hong Tao, who is shameless and dependent on his seniority. If someone else is the same, Hong Jinhe can order him to throw him into the sea, but when facing his father, he can only grit his teeth and endure it.

"We are old friends, although we have different political views, we have no personal grudges. When the imperial government was the same minister, I respect you very much..." As soon as Hong Tao left, Yi Yi immediately lived and began to pour soup for Wen Nan. Compared with Hong Tao, Wen Nan was much easier to deal with. He wanted to find the answer from Wen Nan. Why did Hong Tao sell the Song Dynasty so clean? This is not logical!

"Prime Minister Yi, since we are all so familiar with each other, there is no need to say these things again. This matter has nothing to do with me, I just came back with the teacher to realize my dream. You may not understand this matter. When you reach our age, you may be able to understand it. But the conditions he said are true and there is no falsehood. The Jinhe Empire has been his children from beginning to end. Even if he has a second or third child, he cannot think about harming the first child. There is no need or reason. He just doesn't want the children to fight each other. If it is possible, he wants to

According to his philosophy, in a more gentle way, the children can get along well with each other. Can the Prime Minister Yi and His Majesty the Emperor understand what I said? In fact, don’t think that I have taken a big advantage. My teacher has never done a loss-making business in my life. What he gives you means that you have asked for more. Don’t worry, listen slowly.” Wen Nan stayed in the Palace of the Song Dynasty for more than a month, and he has been reborn again, and many of his thinking patterns have changed. Now he is no longer the very ethical imperial foreign minister who used to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to use some of his original shortcomings to fool him.

"I don't know what your Majesty wants?" Hearing Wen Nan's warning, Yi Yi felt a little more at ease. He was not afraid of Hong Tao's exchange of interests with the empire. This is the norm for exchanges between countries. Everyone can discuss any conditions. If it is suitable, cooperate. If it is not suitable, it will not cooperate. It is very simple. He was afraid that Hong Tao would not give back. If it is not discussed, it would be too troublesome. Because this way of doing things is not in line with common sense, the ancients said that there must be evil in their affairs.

"I don't want much, don't be afraid. This deal is only profitable and not lost for the empire. Even the royal party members cannot make any mistakes. Whoever fails to pass will be the destroyer of the empire. I believe there is no such person." Hong Tao is straightforward, and he will come back soon.

"First, I need the Empire to provide me with a thousand grassroots management cadres, government management, taxation, commerce, agriculture, engineering construction, 6th Army, and naval forces. This is just the first batch, the rank must be fast, and it will be sent to Lin'an within a month. There should be a second batch and the third batch until I have enough. Their term is three years. After three years, they have the right to stay in the Song Dynasty to continue their duties. The Empire cannot force them to return to China, nor can they keep them in the Song Dynasty to create artificial trouble." As he walked towards the table, Hong Tao stretched out another finger, which was obviously yellow on it. Even if everyone knows that it was something in the crab shell, but when he thought of the owner of this finger, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his stomach, and made up his mind that all the crabs on the table were Hong Tao. No matter what he had touched or not, he could not touch it.
