Chapter 289 Alliance
"May the Han Empire and the United Empire of Great Britain be united forever!" Bedivere stepped forward and said respectfully. Everyone present felt that this was a good statement.
"Send over the alliance letter!" Liu Ying nodded happily when she saw the generous gift list, but she did not directly agree. After all, such a big thing still had to be left to professionals.
This thing was supposed to be brought back to Great Britain after the emperor nodded and the Dahonglu Temple prepared a letter of credence and stamped it with a jade seal.
But what is a bit embarrassing is that the Chuanguo Jade Seal is currently not in the court and was taken away by Guo Hao.
Liu Ying took a look at Great Britain's credentials and saw that she didn't recognize them at all.
After glancing at the "Government of Government Affairs Department", Liu Ying asked someone to pass it to Chen Xi.
Anyway, the Government Affairs Department must have had a draft for this kind of matter before, and just leave it to Chen Xi. Anyway, Chen Xi is now in charge of all government affairs in the court.
In Bedivere's shocked eyes, after a circle of people in the Government Affairs Office circulated the credentials, they began to discuss it under the recitation of the translators.
"As expected of a man, worthy of being the queen in charge!"
At this moment, Bedivere had a high degree of resonance. Although there was no round table, the deliberation process would soon be exactly the same as their round table meeting.
Wang is responsible for being the mascot, and then everyone will discuss the matter together, and finally Wang will announce the decision.
This is something Bedivere has not seen in other countries. The emperor of Rome was a tyrant, the emperor of the Northern Huns was a dictator, and the court in Anxi was even arguing with each other. As for Kushan, he has never been to it, but he heard that the emperor was also a dictator.
tyrant.
Only the big man he is in now has the same democracy and consensus as them.
Great Britain's credentials contained little content, just some classic clauses about friendship and alliance, among which the only one worthy of their attention was trade.
On the one hand, Chen Xi and the others signaled that the discussion on the surface was a little more enthusiastic, but on the other hand, they directly connected a local area network with sound transmission and started to study how to kill Great Britain.
Chen Xi didn't even have time to interrupt. He didn't even begin to repeat the information sent by Ma Chao, Liu Zhang, and the Chang'an city guard. The British underwear was almost stripped off by a group of unscrupulous businessmen.
They kept putting forward one evil plan after another, and then kept denying it.
Chen Xi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. A group of people cannot develop economically, but when it comes to how to deceive people, his mind is spinning.
The classic strategy of "buying deer to defeat Chu" was continuously perfected by these people, and an economic and trade sinkhole based on sericulture was developed by these people.
"Buy deer to defeat Chu" is Guan Zhong's classic strategy to destroy Chu. The general process is that there are many deer in the wilds of Chu State, Qi State buys Chu State's live deer at a high price, and then spreads the news to Chu State merchants, and sells the deer to Qi State.
Make a fortune.
As a result, men, women, and children in Chu State mobilized the whole country, and they were all busy catching deer in the wild. Some people even bought deer from other places to pass them off. The whole country fell into a frenzied commercial wave, and food production was almost abandoned.
Moreover, Qi State also sold grain to Chu State at a loss in order to maintain Chu State's fanatical actions.
When the time was right, Qi made an excuse to offend the upper echelons of the Chu state and stopped collecting deer and selling grain. As a result, the vitality of the Chu state was greatly damaged, and some people even blamed the upper echelons of the Chu state.
In the end, Chu surrendered four-tenths of its troops to Qi. Chu's vitality was severely damaged. After struggling for three years, it surrendered to Qi. Instead of losing money, Qi made a huge profit and regained Chu.
In the hands of people like Li Ru and Jia Xu, things became even more excessive.
They planned to teach people in Great Britain to plant mulberry trees, raise silkworms and reel silk, and then buy the silk from the reeling at a high price to make silk, and finally sell it to Great Britain at a very high price.
Chen Xi could imagine what these people were going to do next, vigorously develop the silk weaving industry, wait for Great Britain to take advantage of it, and give Rome a shit basin, saying that Rome interfered with the transaction between the two parties, and they could no longer continue the transaction. They would definitely force Great Britain and
Rome is desperate.
However, as a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist, Chen Xi could only stand on the level of Guang Zhengwei and condemn these evil-minded guys.
Chen Xi forcibly stopped the conspiracy of these guys. How could such a plan be implemented with the presence of players? Even if it could be implemented, it would not be as far as they imagined. It would be better to develop the business.
It's much more reliable to get more benefits in an honest way than to mess around like this. There may be many variables at such a long distance.
Everyone shrugged, Chen Xi's boss Chen Xi had the final say, and Chen Xi's financial means were indeed better than theirs, but some people looked at each other and had no intention of giving up the plan.
Li Ru rolled his eyes. People who didn't know better thought Chen Xi was harmless. It wasn't Chen Xi who asked them to kill the family. This guy just liked something that was glorious.
"Your Highness, it's time to seal it!" Chen Xi handed the credentials back to Liu Ying.
After they passed it, they went through the process. They also drafted a letter of credence and stamped it, only for Bedivere to take it back.
The two countries are too far away, and the current transportation methods do not support any large-scale trade between the two sides.
You can’t let your inner energy leave your body to run errands, right?
Speaking of this, Chen Xi is quite interested, but so far he can't find an experimenter willing to cooperate.
According to their estimates, if Qi Xiu can fly at full speed away from the body, a round trip from Luoyang to Rome will only take a few days.
But according to the news from the enshrinement point, the world is not safe now. It would take a peerless warrior to be able to come and go freely?
After all, Zuo Ci has been on the street several times. Zuo Ci's fighting ability is not weak. He is the kind of master who can catch Dian Wei's punch, but he can probably catch one punch, and he may not be able to catch the second punch.
"Your Highness, King Arthur asked me to come to the Han Dynasty. In addition to becoming friends forever, I also hope that the Han Dynasty can provide some military support to our country. In exchange, we can provide the Han Dynasty with all the information about the Northern Huns."
Bedivere said righteously, even if they were too far away and the Han Empire couldn't raise a large number of troops to support them, then support one or two legions and a few strong headquarters.
As for the Northern Huns who cheated them with high prices, they just sold them. Anyway, they didn’t sign the alliance. At most, they were hired. If they cheated them, they cheated them.
Once the alliance letter is signed, the empire still recognizes it, but there is also the issue of face that must be considered. After all, the empire cannot afford to lose its face.
But the Northern Xiongnu was different. The Northern Xiongnu had signed an alliance with an empire in their lifetime, which meant that they would be thrown into the Han Dynasty in hell.
From then on, the Northern Huns did not sign any alliance at all. In their view, that thing was the source of enmity.
