Kou Ji knew in his heart that Wang Zeng and Cai Qi were not intentionally disturbing his dream.
The Song Dynasty was really used to being hungry, so now they took the initiative to bring a large granary. If they didn't eat it, they wouldn't feel well.
But importantly, Kou Ji finished talking last night.
The rest is not important, and there is almost nothing to talk about.
Whether it is a big ship or a material.
Just give as much as you want.
Anyway, even if Cao Yong spoke loudly, he would not be too much.
What Cao Yong really wanted, Kou Ji gave it to him last night.
Cao Yong must have known that Kou Ji would guess what he did.
Kou Ji also knew what Cao Yong wanted.
So I promised everything last night.
Otherwise, Cao Yong would not have added the word "fire" to his request even though he knew that Da Song would not give him a firearm.
The words were told to the Song Dynasty, but what they really wanted to convey was Kou Ji's ears.
Because Cao Yi knew in his heart that whether he could get the firearm was not the final word of Song Dynasty, but Kou Ji said it only.
Cao Yong did not forcefully ask Da Song to give him a firearm before he was willing to hand over Jiaozhi, which shows that he knew where Kou Ji's bottom line was.
Kou Ji also saw that Cao was sensible and gave him a promise.
Poor Cao Min was kept in the dark from beginning to end, like a tool man.
But he can pass on messages between Kou Ji and Cao, and he is worth it.
Cao Yong asked him to see Kou Ji, and immediately knelt down after seeing Kou Ji, calling Uncle Kou Ji.
That means Cao Yong sent him to get in touch with Kou Jipan.
Cao Yong obviously wanted to train Cao Min to be the successor.
He wanted his successor to meet Kou Ji and get in touch with Kou Ji. If there was anything in the future, it would be easier to find Kou Ji.
When Kou Ji and Cao take advantage of their status, every move has a profound meaning.
If Cao Yong had not told Cao Min early, Cao Min would not have kneeled so happily when he saw Kou Ji, and he would not have been able to keep calling his uncle.
Cao Min is now the second heir to the throne.
I don’t have to kneel when I see Zhao Zhen.
It is impossible to kneel so happily when I see Kou Ji for no reason.
So what about life-saving grace?
In the eyes of many people, the grace of saving lives cannot compare to the gap in identity and interests.
Kou Ji entered the Honglu Temple, and all the officials from the Honglu Temple were bent and waiting at the yamen.
After meeting Kou Ji, they all came to greet him enthusiastically.
"I've met Kou Xiang..."
“…”
The crowd saluted one after another.
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite... Go and prepare the Jiaozhi file, and then we go to Jiaozhi Inn."
When the Minister of the Honglu Temple heard this, he hurriedly said, "Return to the Prime Minister of Kou, the file that should be prepared, Xiaguan and others were ready overnight last night."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Then check it a few times to see if there are any omissions."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple said again: "Return to the Gun Prime Minister, at the third update last night, Xiaguan and others prepared the file, and checked it four times overnight to confirm that it was correct."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and hesitated and said repeatedly: "Then you go have breakfast and have some rest."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Secretary Kou, Xiaguan and others have already had a simple meal."
Kou Ji breathed a few moments and ordered, "Then go down to sleep, and then go to Jiaozhi Inn after waking up."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple stared blankly at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji said in a deep voice with a stern face: "Today we may have to have a long talk with the Jiaozhi messenger all night. If there is something wrong with the Jiaozhi people taking advantage of the loopholes, it would be unsatisfactory.
It should be noted that this matter is of great importance.
It is possible that one word is not good, and a million yuan of money will be easily made.
So we have to be foolproof.”
When the Minister of the Honglu Temple heard this, he solemnly said, "The Lord understands that the Lord will instruct the people of the Honglu Temple to go down and accumulate energy."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, found a public house in the Honglu Temple Yamen, and fell asleep after entering.
After Kou Ji went to bed, Honglu Temple and others.
They all looked at each other in a glance.
Shaoqing of Honglu Temple said to the Honglu Temple with a depressed expression: "Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang sat here all night last night, staring at us preparing the Jiaozhi file, and repeatedly checked it. Before leaving, he specifically told us that when Kou Xiang arrived, he would go to the Jiaozhi Inn immediately.
But now that Kou Xiang arrives, he falls asleep and goes to bed. What should we do?"
"Yes, right, Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked, how should we answer? If we hold them accountable, would we still push them to Kou Xiang?"
"Wang Xiang turned against him and said something humane. Cai Xiang turned against him, but he was disregarded by his relatives. If he was targeted by Cai Xiang, it would be difficult for us to get through in the court in the future."
"Who should we listen to? Shangguan, please give me an idea."
“…”
The officials of the Honglu Temple stared at the Honglu Temple with a frown, waiting for the Honglu Temple to give an idea.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple also looked bitter, "We cannot afford to offend Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang, and we cannot afford to offend Kou Xiang. Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang were concerned about us, and at most we were demoted.
If Kou Xiang was concerned about us, he would be sent to the border to serve as herders.
In severe cases, you have to lose your head.
The two evils are the least.
Let's listen to Kou Xiang.
Listen to Kou Xiang can survive.”
Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple pondered for a moment and nodded, "The Shangguan's words are reasonable... This time he negotiated with the Jiaozhi people, Kou Xiang is the commander, and we are just helping from the side.
He doesn't move, we can't move either.
When Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked about this, we will say that.
If Wang Xiang and Cai Xiangruo understand us, we have overcome a difficult situation."
The others from Honglu Temple nodded one after another.
"Each meeting room is resting, and sending people to stare at the door. Once Kou Xiang wakes up, he will come here to meet up immediately."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple gave some advice.
The Honglu Temple nodded in one after another.
After they handed over each other, they returned to their respective class rooms.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple did not leave, and he stayed outside the public room where Kou Ji was sleeping.
Kou Ji slept for an hour and a half, and then woke up quietly after he had just enough sleep.
As soon as I went out, I saw the Minister of the Honglu Temple sitting outside his room dozing off.
"What are you doing?"
Kou Ji asked casually.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple suddenly woke up and stood up and said, "Secretary Kou, are you awake?"
Kou Ji asked, "Why don't you go to rest?"
The Minister of the Honglu Temple smiled dryly, "The officials can't sleep."
Kou Ji shook his head and did not expose the lies of the Minister of the Honglu Temple. He ordered: "Call others and prepare to go to Jiaozhi Inn."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple immediately agreed and went to summon others.
After a while, the Honglu Temple came to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji did not speak up, and pointed out the number of people slightly, took them out of the Honglu Temple, and rushed to Jiaozhi Inn.
When we arrived at the entrance of Jiaozhi Inn, we saw Cao Min leading a group of Jiaozhi officials waiting at the entrance of the inn.
Kou Ji took the initiative to greet him. Without waiting for them to salute, he asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Cao Min and a group of Jiaozhi officials took the lead in saluting.
After the salute.
Cao Min said in a humble and arrogant manner: "I haven't waited for a long time, only two hours."
Kou Ji was stunned and said with a smile: "Are you blaming me?"
Cao Min hurriedly said, "I dare not..."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Let Honglu Temple be the host tonight, and ask you to go to the Jiaofang to have fun, which is considered to be an apology for you."
When the Minister of the Honglu Temple heard this, he immediately agreed: "It should be like this."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Go in and talk."
After Kou Ji said this, he took the lead in stepping into the inn, and the others quietly followed Kou Ji and entered the inn.
Kou Ji is famous and has a strong deterrent power.
It’s not bad in the Song Dynasty, but it is rumored outside the Song Dynasty that Kou Ji killed directly and indirectly, probably more than the entire Jiaozhi population.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji issued orders to the envoys in Jiaozhi, but they did not complain at all.
They didn't know the relationship between Cao Yong and Kou Ji. They only knew that after the matter was negotiated, everyone was happy. If the agreement was not done, the fierce guy in front of him would lead his army that was victorious in every battle and step into Jiaozhi.
They have calculated privately that if this person leads his troops into Jiaozhi, the probability of Jiaozhi surviving under this manipulator is no more than one thousandth.
As for winning, no one dares to think about it.
The achievements of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty invading Liao have long been spread throughout the world.
Jiaozhi is better than Liao, but it is just a small projectile.
It probably isn't enough for someone to struggle at once.
Tens of thousands of artillery cannons headed to the entrance of Jiaozhi. After a round of bombardment, Jiaozhi would have to descend.
They have seen the power of artillery.
Knowing that thing is a weapon on the battlefield.
The low city wall of Jiaozhi could not withstand the destruction of artillery.
Kouji entered the inn, and the servants in the inn were ready for everything they needed for negotiations.
Kou Ji took the main seat without hesitation, and other talents sat down separately.
Kou Ji nodded to the Minister of the Honglu Temple and the negotiations officially began.
The two sides started a long-term negotiation on the price of selling Jiaozhi.
Kou Ji did not participate from beginning to end, and so did Cao Min.
In the eyes of the two of them, the negotiation in front of them was a formality.
Because they really want to talk, they have already finished talking in private.
Of course, in Kou Ji's eyes, he had a conversation with Cao Yong thousands of miles away.
In Cao Min's eyes, Kou Ji ruled everything.
Negotiations talked from noon to evening.
Both sides never stopped talking.
From time to time, I also looked at Kou Ji and Cao Min.
Although they are talking very hard, they are actually just gritting their mouths.
They all knew in their hearts that Kou Ji and Cao Min were the ones who were in charge.
Kou Ji and Cao Min don’t speak, no matter how much they talk, it will be useless.
If someone doesn't nod, you can overturn it if you come up with a result.
But even so, they still have to talk.
No matter what the result is, you have to be fully prepared.
Seeing that everyone was tired, Kou Ji slowly spoke, "Messenger, how old are I to be, I will call you a nephew, okay?"
Seeing Kou Ji spoke, Cao Min didn't hold him anymore. He politely said, "I have learned the knowledge of the Song Kingdom since I was a child and are familiar with the etiquette of the Song Kingdom. It is naturally not an exaggeration to call me a virtuous nephew with Kou's age."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Nephew, since Jiaozhi has agreed to sell the country, I must have already decided what to trade with me in the Song Dynasty. When it comes, will the Prince of Jiaozhi give you a list or something?"
Cao Min pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is a list, but only the big ships and supplies. Manpower and firearms are not listed."
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Take it over and I'll take a look..."
Cao Min took out a list from the cuff and handed it to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji took the list and reviewed it carefully.
"Five thousand big ships... The Prince of Jiaozhi has a good appetite. However, it is not an exaggeration to pay Jiaozhi's territory."
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said, "My Song Dynasty cannot take out five thousand large ships at once. If the official shipyard works day and night, it will only take out three hundred large ships a year.
If you set up a few more yards, you can barely create thousands.
If there are more, there will be insufficient craftsmanship.
How about five thousand large ships delivered in five years?”
Cao Min thought for a moment and spoke, "Can I send someone to the Song Dynasty to learn the skills of shipbuilding? If I can send someone to the Song Dynasty to learn the skills of shipbuilding, then the Song Dynasty will deliver it in five years, and I can agree."
Kou Ji didn't think much and nodded, "Yes..."
The large ships built by the Song Dynasty now use the skills of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After following the Sui and Tang Techniques, the Song Dynasty made some improvements to form the unique Song Dynasty shipbuilding skills.
Because the sea trade in the Song Dynasty was relatively prosperous.
So the shipbuilding skills are quite good.
But it is a little worse than the new ship developed by Kou Ji and Kou Tianci based on the shipbuilding map of the Song Dynasty.
So it’s nothing to teach Jiaozhi the existing shipbuilding skills.
Anyway, in a few years, new shipbuilding skills will emerge in South Korea, Xiyang, and the Song Dynasty.
The ships built at that time will be better than they are now.
Moreover, Kou Ji was willing to indulge Cao to go out and make a big difference, so he naturally had to give some technical support.
Seeing that Kou Ji happily agreed to let the Jiaozhi people go to the Song Dynasty to learn shipbuilding skills, Cao Min said nothing.
The same is true for other envoys in Jiaozhi.
On the contrary, the people from Honglu Temple stared at Kou Ji with their eyes scratching their heads.
They felt that Kou Ji agreed so happily, and that it would be easy to be led by someone.
But now Kou Ji, the person who is in charge, is speaking, and these minions are unable to speak.
In formal occasions, sing a counter-topic with your boss is a taboo at any time.
After Kou Ji granted the ship, he continued to look down and looked at the supplies one by one.
"Cotton...linen...wire...cloth...iron material..."
After Kou Ji finished watching one by one, he stared at Cao Min and said, "There are quite a lot of requests, but it is inevitable that he underestimated me, the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji put the list on the table and said lightly, "I will double the Song Dynasty for you."
As soon as these words were said, almost everyone present, except Cao Min, looked at Kou Ji in shock.
The people from Honglu Temple almost screamed in shock.
After being glared at by Kou Ji, he gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.
The people from Honglu Temple looked bad.
They felt that there was no such negotiation as Kou Ji.
The more others talk, the less they are talking. If you take the initiative to double the amount of money, are you crazy?
The people of Jiaozhi need a lot of supplies. If Dasong wants to take them out at one time, they have to raise them well.
If it doubles, it may shake the foundations of some industries.
Kou Ji did not care about the reaction of the people of Honglu Temple. After he doubled the supplies he wanted, he said lightly, "Don't think about people. I, the subjects of the Song Dynasty, are not goods, and cannot be traded, and even more impossible to become a trading product in the business world.
In the past, our dynasty's official family was on the top of the city of Bianjing City and announced to the people of the world that anyone who touched the Song Dynasty would be punished.
Dali does not believe in this evil, which hurts the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty.
I sent more than 100,000 troops to tackle Dali.
King Dali is now eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name in Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing City.
Therefore, I advise you not to attack me from the people of the Song Dynasty.
Anyone who regards the lives of the people of our Song Dynasty as a mustard, is the enemy of our Song Dynasty.
My Song Dynasty fought for this.
No matter who the enemy is.”
Kou Ji's words were decisive at the end.
Everyone present heard a strong murderous intent from Kou Ji's words.
They all clearly felt that Kou Ji was not joking with them.
For a moment.
The Jiaozhi Messengers looked very ugly.
They were threatened so openly, but they dared not speak out, and they felt very frustrated.
The people from Honglu Temple looked excited.
They finally understood the reason why Kou Ji asked for the supplies Jiaozhi.
Kou Ji wanted to use supplies to make up for the manpower.
Among the two people and two expressions, Kou Ji spoke again.
"There is no firearm. If you want it, you can bring your own troops to take it. Other weapons are easy to discuss."
Kou Ji left this, stood up slowly, and said, "Everyone is tired today, and we will talk about the military matter tomorrow. You can also think about my words.
If you can agree, you can open the door tomorrow and wait for us.
If you can't agree, you will close the door.
Someone will send you away from Beijing the next day.
After you return to Jiaozhi, tell the Prince of Jiaozhi to be prepared to welcome me.
When I went there, I didn't bring many people, only 300,000 imperial guards.
If Jiaozhi can block it, let’s talk about it.”
After saying this, Kou Ji shook his sleeves and left the inn.
The people from Honglu Temple followed Kou Ji with excitement and left the inn.
As Kou Ji and his group left, the Jiaozhi envoys shouted one after another.
"Zhang Kuang! So arrogant! I have never seen someone so arrogant!"
"If the heaven wants to perish, it will make it crazy first... The Song Dynasty will sooner or later be ruined in his hands."
“…”
The Jiaozhi Messenger shouted indignation.
Cao Min had a gloomy face and roared in a low voice, "Enough!"
The Jiaozhi envoys shut their mouths one after another and looked at Cao Min.
Cao Min gritted his teeth and said, "He is Zhang Kuang, but he has the capital for Zhang Kuang. With his order, 300,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty went to my Jiaozhi. But even if everyone in my Jiaozhi shouted, they could not get enough power to resist the 300,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why my grandfather endured the pain of selling Jiaozhi to Song was because he knew that I could not resist the conquest of Song."
"When the Song Dynasty attacked our Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, we were beaten by King Li to run away with our heads and heads..."
Some Jiaozhi envoy refused to accept it and gritted his teeth.
Cao Min glared at him and said, "It was back then, now it is now. Back then, we were all close forces, and I have an absolute advantage in geographical advantages, facing mediocre talents such as Hou Renbao who are not engaged in military affairs.
What about now?
The Song Dynasty had muskets and cannons, as well as countless gunpowder-made ordnances.
Even if we have a superior geographical advantage, it is difficult to resist.
A city, we can be a few months in the face of a short attack.
But when we face the firearms being fired together, we may not be able to stop it for a moment.
What's more, there were also generals such as Di Qing and Yang Wenguang who were good at fighting. Their military strategies were many times better than Hou Renbao.
More importantly, he... can mobilize more than 300,000 troops.
He dares to be crazy, the Emperor of Song dares to be crazy with him, but I can't afford to be crazy."
After hearing Cao Min's words, the Jiaozhi envoys gritted their teeth and humiliatedly lowered their heads.
This is a great power, a great power that crushes Jiaozhi in all directions.
When Jiaozhi faces oppression of such a big country, he only has a deep sense of powerlessness.
After the other envoys of Jiaozhi lowered their heads, Cao Min said in a deep voice: "Before coming, my grandfather had already expected the situation today. He told me that if I couldn't get the firearm, I would ask for a crossbow from the Song Dynasty.
Although I can imitate some crossbows of the Song Dynasty now, it is just small crossbows and some large crossbows. It is still very difficult for me to imitate some crossbows and it takes a lot of time.
Therefore, we must ask for enough large crossbows from the Song Dynasty and craftsmen who made large crossbows.
You need to talk about this matter tomorrow. Remember to get the large crossbows I need and the craftsman who made large crossbows."
"I have paid my country a lot. Do you just bring some crossbows, craftsmen, ships and supplies back?"
Someone shouted in grief and anger.
Cao Min glared and said, "You heard what he said just now. He said that we would not let us trade Song people like goods, but he did not say that we could not invite Song people to visit us.
As long as the Song people leave us sincerely, we will not be considered contrary to his words."
"But I'm fucking..."
"Enough... You have seen my grandfather's foundation overseas. You have also seen the maps my grandfather sent merchants to collect.
Although we have paid for it, what we have obtained is enough to allow us to gain a greater territory overseas and in the West.
To the west, Angkor, Bagan, Penggaluo, and Tianzhu, is not richer than my Jiaozhi, and whose territory is not larger than my Jiaozhi?
After conquering them, we can establish a richer, stronger and larger dynasty than Jiaozhi."
"But...we have few people..."
"But we have soldiers who are far more elite than them, and more powerful than them. If we break a country, we can build a country through their population."
“…”
Just as Cao Min showed the ambitions of their Cao family to the Jiaozhi envoy, the people from Honglu Temple were chasing behind Kou Ji, talking with excitement.
"I have been the Minister of the Honglu Temple for twelve years, and I have never seen such a scene as I think today."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple followed Kou Ji's footsteps and said excitedly.
Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple nodded and said, "In the past, we were always careful when we interacted with envoys from other countries. Today, the enemy's general opened our eyes."
"Will the Jiaozhi people not accept it?"
Chapter completed!
