"Haha, I'm very happy that you have such ambitions. It's just one more day to live."
Zhang Yang sat next to the teacher's wheelchair and looked towards the Qinling Mountains in the distance. From a distance, the end of the mountains seemed to be the end of the world.
On the day of the negotiation, Lishan deliberately cleaned the village.
Xiaohui and Xiaowu each held a pile of pamphlets and walked into the room where they would be negotiating next.
There will be many important figures from the DPRK and China sitting here.
Xiao Hui placed these booklets in front of each seat, while Xiao Wu boiled water and did some simple cleaning.
Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the village with Li Tai, Shangguan Yi and Samurai Yu.
After all, Li Xiaogong did not come to this negotiation. He had been deliberately avoiding His Majesty.
Mr. Ouyang Xun usually teaches children to read and write, but now he can't spare his time.
But Li Yuan didn't shirk it. The old man had nothing to do, so he said he could come and take a look.
A group of officers and soldiers came escorting carriages. The first to arrive were General Yuchi Gong and General Qin Qiong.
Zhang Yang, Li Tai, Shangguan Yi and Samurai Xun saluted together.
Yuchi Gong looked at the group of people and said, "Just the four of you?"
Zhang Yang explained: "There are only four people like me who are in charge of Lishan's production scheduling."
Yuchi Gong smiled coldly and walked into the house.
Qin Qiong stood up and dismounted without saying anything. She patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder to express her approval, and then walked into the conference room of the negotiation under the guidance of His Highness the King of Wei.
Then came the officials in twos and threes from the court. Zhang Yang now understood General Yuchi’s words. Just the four of you? It’s because Lishan didn’t have enough people to negotiate.
Because when I looked up, I saw a lot of people coming. In addition to Zheng Gong, Zhao Guogong, and the Prime Minister, there were also Chu Suiliang, Tang Shanshi, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Zhang Xingcheng, and Liu Jie. This was the entire Zhongshu Province.
Brought it?
Zhang Yang looked bitter, but he could only greet everyone with a polite smile.
Finally, a more luxurious car stopped in front of him. Zhang Yang waved away the dust in front of his eyes, coughed, and saw His Majesty getting off the carriage.
"I have met your Majesty!" Zhang Yang saluted with Shangguan Yi and the warrior Xun.
Li Shimin nodded, "Are you all ready?"
Zhang Yang replied: "Ready."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and walked quickly to the conference room, "Let's start."
Not long after, Li Yuan also came. After everyone exchanged greetings and saluted, they sat down.
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and His Majesty are sitting in the upper seat. Below them are the Prime Minister and Duke Zheng, as well as Yuchi Gong and General Qin Qiong.
After that came Duke Zhao and a group of civil servants.
Zhang Yang sat in the second seat, facing Changsun Wuji and others in front of him and said: "This is the prerequisite for our negotiation in Lishan. Everything is written down in the booklet. You can take a look first."
While talking, Zhang Yang took the tea from Xiao Wu, took a sip and put it on the table in front of him.
Everyone in the court was surprised by this negotiation. What was new was the unique long table and the arrangement of everyone's positions.
Changsun Wuji put it down after reading a few pages of the booklet.
Then everyone put down their books and started talking in low voices.
Zhang Yang then said: "Everyone, our Lishan's requirements have been clearly written in the booklet. In the spirit of communication between the two sides, Lishan has observed the increase in goods prices and the exchange of money in Chang'an City.
I want to confirm first whether the court will always accept Lishan's aid to Sheji in the future."
Fang Xuanling nodded clearly and said with a smile: "Of course I accept it."
"Um."
Zhang Yang nodded and looked at Shangguan Yi and others. Seeing that everyone nodded, he took another sip of tea and continued with a solemn expression: "If this meeting goes well, I hope that everyone can sign this contract and promise
It will not be changed or canceled in the future.”
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Well, let's take a look at Lishan's conditions."
Zhang Yang gave Xiao Wu a look, and handed out another pamphlet one after another. Everyone opened it and looked at the contents, and there was another discussion.
There was constant rustling and discussion in the room while leafing through brochures.
Outside the door, Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin were sitting here, both waiting for the result of a negotiation.
"How is the medicine man's leg injury?"
Li Jing smiled and said: "If it's not a rainy day, it won't be a big problem."
Back then, they both went to conquer the Turks in the north together. Remembering how they were freezing in the north at that time, they looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Gongjin sat in a wheelchair and whispered: "Speaking of it, Zhang Yang was brought here by Duke Zhao."
Li Jing leaned against the edge of the door and looked around. No one could disturb the court meeting in Lishan at this time.
"You should be happy to have such a disciple."
Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said, "This kid has a lot of things on his mind."
Li Jing asked: "Didn't I tell you?"
"Well, pharmacists should also understand that things hidden in their hearts will not be easily revealed. Even if they are revealed, how can one know whether they are true or false?"
"It seems you don't understand this disciple either."
In the room, it was Shangguan Yi's turn to speak. He stood up and bowed first, "There are six clauses in the contract."
Tang Shanshi asked: "So we have to choose one of them?"
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "No, this is the prerequisite for Lishan and Chaotang to cooperate with each other in the future. This is not to choose one of them, but the prerequisite for future cooperation. The so-called prerequisite, only after agreeing to all six of these can we talk about what will happen next."
Hearing this, Tang Shanshi's eyes were a little angry.
Shangguan Yi held the brochure in his hand and said loudly: "First of all, the DPRK and the Central Government need to immediately show their attitude and issue a notice. Lishan is a production collective and is not directly involved in buying and selling."
Zhang Xingcheng patted the table and said, "Shangguanyi? Is your father Shangguanhong?"
"Exactly."
When the other party asked about his life experience, Shangguan Yi looked unhappy. He didn't like others talking about his father.
Liu Ji asked: "Lishan produces goods and sells them. Isn't this an act of buying and selling? How can you say that you don't participate in the buying and selling?"
Shangguan Yi further explained: "Lishan will set up a trading place in Chang'an City, and future goods will be sold directly through the trading place set up by Lishan in the city. We call this wholesale."
"Is there a difference?"
"Yes, Lishan as the main body does not directly participate in the transactions of Chang'an City, but the wholesale sales can be directly arranged by the Central Government. In other words, the goods leave Lishan and the money and goods are cleared. As for the subsequent arrangements, it is not in Li
It’s within the mountain’s responsibility.”
There was a murmur among the crowd, and everyone looked troubled. This was the first time they heard such a strange method.
Just these six premises make people's scalp tense. This first one is so difficult to deal with, and everyone's discussion becomes louder and louder.
Fang Xuanling held the contract in his hand with a solemn expression. He looked at Zhang Yang. The young Marquis of Lishan County looked relaxed. He looked relaxed even when facing so many people from Zhongshu Province.
Originally, the DPRK and China had made a lot of preparations for this conversation, but they did not want Zhang Yang's prerequisite for cooperation to be blocked by everyone.
What's more, the original plan was to frustrate Lishan's sharpness, but now he could only look left and right without knowing how to make a decision.
Zheng Gong nodded and said: "If the wholesale office is an official of the central government, there is no problem with this."
Changsun Wuji asked again: "What does wholesale mean?"
Xiao Wu pushed a shelf forward. There were wooden wheels on the bottom of the shelf. There was a wooden board placed in the frame of the shelf. On the wooden board, she drew the wholesale transaction process, the specific process and steps of the goods leaving Lishan and entering Chang'an City.
Shangguan Yi said again: "I wonder what the people in Zhongshu Province think?"
Everyone was silent, but Fang Xuanling spoke up: "The court can agree."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your understanding. We have made the right choice for the future, which can reduce more misunderstandings and troubles in the future."
This was also a way for Lishan to avoid risks, taking advantage of the loopholes in Datang Law.
Changsun Wuji stared at Zhang Yang with a very unhappy expression. He wanted to separate Lishan from its identity as a merchant and continue to establish itself as a production workshop. I don't know what he was planning in his heart.
It makes people vaguely uneasy.
Shangguan Yi added: "The DPRK and the Central Government need to set up a supervisory official residence to supervise the dispatch of goods in Chang'an City, supervise whether merchants pay goods and taxes on time and on demand, and strictly order merchants not to significantly increase or decrease prices. If there are goods that are shoddy or sold,
It’s fake, but if there is a report, the DPRK and China must investigate it.”
Everyone felt uncomfortable with the various words and attitudes of the people in Lishan in front of them.
Especially for the arrangement between North Korea and China, a new official office needs to be built at this moment.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and asked, "Is the appointment by officials also arranged by the central government?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "What Mr. Zheng said is true. Lishan will not be involved in how to arrange manpower in the court."
Changsun Wuji suddenly asked: "What is your purpose?"
Zhang Yang drank tea with an indifferent expression, "It's very simple. To protect the interests of the many residents of Chang'an City, the court must stand on the side of the masses and work with the masses to supervise the merchants."
Tang Shanshi suddenly laughed, "It was the merchants who sued Lishan. Is the county prince seeking revenge for personal gain?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Brother Tang, you misunderstood. We did not take the complaints from those merchants to heart. Please don't look at Lishan with such a narrow vision."
"But no matter how I look at it, it looks like Lishan is seeking revenge."
Li Tai, who was sitting in the corner, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said, "Tang Shanshi, don't push yourself too far!"
The other party said loudly: "Lishan is interfering in the government affairs and dares to allow the government to build a new official residence. Aren't you just pushing your limits?"
"Tang Shanshi! Don't be so presumptuous!" Changsun Wuji suddenly snapped.
The scene finally became quiet.
It is said that if there are too many chickens, they cannot lay eggs, but if there are too many people, they will cause trouble.
Just such a conversation brought so many people to the DPRK.
Is it to support the situation, or to give Lishan a blow?
Fang Xuanling whispered: "The merchants really need to be monitored, and the Central Committee will arrange it."
Zhang Yang nodded, "The prime minister still takes a long-term view. He can not only protect Lishan's rights and interests as a producer, but also ensure the interests of the people of Chang'an City. This is a great thing. We should celebrate this. It's past noon.
Why don't you all have dinner at Lishan first and discuss it after dinner?"
I talked about two things in the morning, and everyone from Zhongshu Province came to face Lishan.
The negotiation with Lishan was a tough battle. At the beginning, everyone thought it would go smoothly this time and did not want Lishan to be so difficult to deal with.
Xiaohui walked out of the door, clapped her hands, and basins of dishes were brought in.
"Everyone, these are this year's seasonal vegetables, and they are also the result of crops grown in our Taifu Temple."
Everyone was also hungry, so they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Zhang Yang personally went to pour tea for His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, "Your Majesty, there is another rule in Lishan, that is, you are not allowed to drink alcohol while working. Discussions are also part of the work, so there will be no drinking today."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Erlang, your complexion has deteriorated a lot recently."
Li Shimin sighed: "I often don't sleep well lately."
Looking at Zhang Yang, Li Shimin asked again: "Zhang Yang, what do you want?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Lishan needs development, and development requires suitable soil. The court needs to have perfect rules, and this is also for the sake of the future."
"Are you saying that today's court is not perfect enough?"
Zhang Yang sighed in frustration: "Your Majesty, everything must keep pace with the times, right? Now that the court is beginning to fail to adapt to the rapidly growing Tang Dynasty, shouldn't it also make changes?"
Li Shimin shook his head, "This is a matter of Zhongshu Province, and it is not something that you, the Marquis of Lishan County, can get involved in."
"That's why I asked Fang Xiang to lead a team to Lishan for negotiations."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang whispered again: "Did Zhao Guogong make a promise to His Majesty on what terms? He actually sat in the position of the chief envoy during this negotiation."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the auxiliary machine targeting you because of the past. Besides, Zheng Gong and Xuan Ling are also here."
Zhang Yang watched the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sweeping away the bowls of dishes. Although the emperor said this, he still had some grudges in his heart.
In the village, Li Yue pushed her baby stroller and took her son to relax in the village.
He was accompanied by two aunts, who brought some food and three oil-paper umbrellas.
The weather is sunny today. The reason why I brought an umbrella is because my husband said it might rain this afternoon.
Xiao Qingqing sat cross-legged on the bear's back, wearing the same light blue cloth as her mother.
"Mom, are daddy fighting with the ministers in the court?"
Li Yue smiled and said: "Of course not. Your father is negotiating with the ministers of the DPRK and China for the future of our family."
She pursed her lips and said, "Uncle King Wei said that if we can't talk, we will fight. Will dad fight with them?"
Li Yue stroked her head and said, "Actually, your father is very skilled and very strong."
"The other side has a large number of people, do you want to let Xiong Da go and help daddy?" Xiao Qingqing lowered his head and glanced at the bear, but felt that it was not possible, so he changed his words: "Why don't we set up the artillery at the door, anyone who dares to bully daddy will be blown up.
he."
The biggest headache is the artillery that my daughter has always wanted to play with. Ever since she used it to blow up the wall of Chang'an City, she has been thinking about playing with it again.
Li Yue took her to Hong Fu Nu.
"Aunt Hongfu." Xiao Qingqing called.
Red Fu Girl hugged her and said with a smile, "I came early today."
Xiao Qingqing laughed playfully in her arms, "Mom said, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Li Yue bowed slightly to Hong Fu Nu.
"Your husband is talking to those ministers?"
"Well, I don't know how the discussion goes?"
Hong Funu is a free and easy woman, and she added: "Both your children and your husband are all very powerful."
The warm wind blew Li Yue's hair on her temples. She looked at the big house where she was negotiating and whispered: "I hope it goes well."
