The negotiations in the room stopped briefly, and everyone was eating food. A wooden bucket contained noodles mixed with scallion oil.
The person holding the bowl and going to serve the noodles saw that there was no more noodles in the bucket, so he had to put down the bowl and chopsticks in embarrassment.
Boom, boom... Li Shimin chewed the courgette in his mouth and asked again: "The melon you grew is good."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "When you go back, Your Majesty, take some more with you."
The courgettes grown in Lishan are still small. The seeds need to adapt to the soil. It will take time to cultivate better courgettes.
Tang Shanshi didn't have a good appetite for the food in front of him, because the terms of the contract given by Lishan made it difficult for him to swallow.
"Mr. Zhao Guogong, do we really want to follow what they said and set up an official residence in the middle of the court?"
Hearing his question, Changsun Wuji whispered: "Well, it doesn't hurt to agree."
"Does the DPRK and China have to make concessions to Lishan?"
"Shanshi, this is not a concession, this is for the sake of the country."
As long as Lishan's request does not affect the great cause of Sheji, Changsun Wuji can agree to these contracts.
After the meal, everyone ate for half an hour. Shangguan Yi was in a good mood. Seeing that everyone was satisfied with the meal, it showed that Taifu Temple's achievements were still very good.
After clearing the table and removing the food, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui patiently poured tea.
Everyone sat down again, some opened the contract and read it again, some felt sleepy after the meal and yawned.
Zhang Yang continued: "The specific details of the contract can be discussed further, but in Lishan's opinion, the DPRK and China need to show a better attitude towards Lishan, so I will talk about the third article."
Looking at everyone's faces, Zhang Yang's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling and said: "The accounts between Chaozhong and Lishan have been getting complicated."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu untied the rope by the wall, and a picture appeared in front of everyone.
Xiaohui faced everyone and said: "This is the exchange between Lishan and the court. It includes paper, the share of wine, and taxes."
Her tone was still raw. It was the first time she spoke like this in front of so many officials in the DPRK.
Xiao Wu took over the words and said: "Everyone, we at Lishan intend to integrate these and use part of the industry in exchange."
There is a circle on the picture, which is divided into several pieces and symbolizes the transactions and amounts of each account.
Changsun Wuji looked at this picture with a solemn expression. He never thought that the account transactions between Chaozhong and Lishan would be as high as nearly 100,000 yuan.
Then he looked at Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen's expression was heavy and indifferent, and it seemed to him that this had been going on for a long time.
Changsun Wuji asked: "Cen Wenwen, is it really like the picture?"
"Go back to Duke Zhao, the amount and share are correct."
He replied calmly.
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and continued: "First of all, Lishan plans to hand over both papermaking and paper recycling in exchange for Lishan's operating rights in the Hexi Corridor."
Changsun Wuji said seriously: "What kind of management rights?"
"Lishan and North Korea jointly preside over the operation of the Hexi Corridor, and Lishan has its own power in pricing goods."
Zhang Yang nodded and continued: "For example, a bottle of wine in Guanzhong costs 30 yuan, and outside the customs it costs 60 yuan. However, the wine in Lishan is better, so the price can be increased. In short
, Lishan can set the price of goods by itself, and it can be different from the market price."
There was another discussion among the people below, and Changsun Wuji asked again: "If Lishan raises the price, what should the DPRK and China do?"
"Zhao Guogong, the development of the market is not that simple, and Lishan will only raise prices externally, because prices are calculated based on costs. Lishan needs to avoid risks for future increases in manpower and transportation costs."
Changsun Wuji thought about these words, looking for traps in them.
There was another discussion below. In everyone's opinion, Lishan wanted power and also sought convenience in the court?
Seeing the hesitation of the people in front of him, Zhang Yang added: "Lishan goods can be sold wholesale in Chang'an, but when it comes to the Hexi Corridor, I hope to have the power to independently determine the price."
"What if the DPRK and China don't agree?"
I don’t know who said such an inappropriate sentence.
Zhang Yang leaned back, leaned his back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Lishan has an order worth 500,000 yuan, including 10,000 artillery pieces. If the government does not agree, then Lishan can only maintain the status quo.
.”
As soon as these five hundred thousand words came out, everyone was shocked.
Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "What time is it?"
Xiao Wu replied: "It's almost time to apply."
Chaozhong needed Lishan's firearms. There was some anger in Changsun Wuji's eyes, as if he was saying that in front of the firearms, Lishan was qualified enough to negotiate conditions with Chaozhong, and Chaozhong must agree to this condition.
Zhang Yang also stood up and said, "Everyone, please rest for an hour first."
At dusk, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui left, and there was nothing to do with them next.
Xiaohui whispered: "Master's conditions must be very harsh for the court."
Xiao Wu put his hands behind his back and nodded: "It is indeed very demanding. We must not only help the court to monitor merchants, but also provide Lishan with sufficient convenience in the Hexi Corridor."
Xiao Qingqing was practicing martial arts not far away, while Hong Fu Nu and Li Yue were talking.
This negotiation started in the morning, and it's almost dusk now, and it's not over yet.
Xiaohui thought for a moment and said: "Since last year, Lishan has been losing money. According to the previous plan of the master and the teacher, Lishan will continue to lose money for several years. Before seeing the turning point of profit, Lishan needs to avoid
There are many risks. Once the situation changes in the future, you can immediately protect your own interests through a contract with the DPRK and China."
I don’t know when Xiao Wu started to feel that there was a gap between him and Xiao Hui.
Whether it is in business operations or accounting, Xiaohui's ability is superior.
And she has a clearer understanding of Lishan's future plans.
At this point, Xiao Wu felt that he was not as quick-thinking as Xiao Hui.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yuezheng and Hongfu Nu were talking about health care. Seeing that they were back, they smiled and said: "Sit down, how was their talk?"
Xiao Wu sat down tiredly and whispered: "Those people in Zhongshu Province all look like evil people who want to hunt down the Lishan family's fortune."
Xiaohui explained: "Well, we are still talking."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqing ran over quickly and asked, "Aunt Xiao Wu, Aunt Xiao Hui, have dad fought with them?"
Xiaohui took her hand and said: "How can we do it so easily? The talks are going smoothly now."
This negotiation lasted until night, and everyone was still sitting in the house. During this period, many people went to the toilet, and oil lamps were lit.
Zhang Yang negotiated with North Korea and China with a firearms order worth 500,000 guan, and North Korea and China accepted this condition with gritted teeth.
Li Shimin looked at his son-in-law. As Lishan made more and more unreasonable conditions, the emperor had a smile on his face and clenched his fists tighter and tighter.
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Our Taifu Temple plans to implement the policy of returning farmland to forest in Guanzhong and plant trees on the wasteland that could not be used for farming. In addition, due to the flash floods that occurred in Guanzhong during this year's flood season, our Taifu Temple thinks we can choose some mountainous areas.
For tree planting.”
Fang Xuanling asked suspiciously: "Is the matter in Taifu Temple related to Lishan Mountain?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Prime Minister, Lishan has actually been cultivating crops for a long time, and I think it is best for Taifu Temple and Lishan to be temporarily merged."
"For the time being?" Changsun Wuji questioned.
"Yes, when the time comes, Lishan will hand over the power of Taifu Temple to the Central Government."
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other.
Zhang Yang continued: "Then let me talk about the fifth article. From now on, all operations and manufacturing of Lishan will not be interfered or interfered with by the DPRK. Moreover, Lishan has the right to make independent decisions. After judging the current situation, Lishan
Have the independent power to decide whether to produce or interrupt production."
Li Shimin's face turned dark after hearing these words, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Father, he almost said that Lishan can openly resist the decree."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Erlang, you still underestimated this kid."
The lights in the room were brightly lit. Li Shimin looked at everyone's expressions and said in a low voice, "He should have been hanged in front of Chengtian Gate."
Li Yuan sipped the tea and said with emotion: "If you had killed him back then, you wouldn't have gotten the firearm. Zhang Yang actually lived a very clear life. He knew what he should and shouldn't want."
Seeing Fang Xuanling's gaze, Li Shimin nodded slightly.
In front of the firearm, Chao Zhong took another step back.
Tang Shanshi and the other officials couldn't stand listening anymore, so he got up and left angrily with a group of people.
Shangguan Yi looked at everyone calmly, feeling an indescribable heaviness that was very uncomfortable.
Having lived in Lishan for so many years, based on my own feelings, everything in Lishan seems very light.
Lishan also has superiors and subordinates, but there is no such obvious difference in personal status.
He set his sights on Zhang Yang, who was discussing with the housing minister. From last year to now, Lishan had been preparing for so long just for full production in the future.
Shangguan Yi understands that Lishan must increase construction and make every effort to develop in the future. Development cannot be hindered by the DPRK.
"Then let's talk about the last one. Under the premise that the DPRK and the Central Government agree to plant trees in Taifu Temple, we, Lishan, can fund the construction of official roads, reconstruct roads, and build rivers. The DPRK and the Central Government can go through the DPRK deliberation. During the DPRK deliberation, Lishan has
The right to refute.”
Zhang Yang nodded and looked at everyone, "This means that the government cannot veto Taifu Temple's request to build canals as before."
Everyone's expressions were very ugly. Faced with the challenge of the county prince in front of them, everyone looked at the prime minister.
And His Majesty, who has been silent all this time.
Fang Xuanling stood up slowly, "You all go out first."
Cen Wenwen stood up with everyone and left the room with rustling footsteps.
Only the Prime Minister, Duke Zheng and Duke Zhao were left in the house, as well as His Majesty and everyone from Lishan.
At this moment, everyone was standing outside the house, waiting for the conclusion inside.
Tang Shanshi kept cursing angrily. He felt that Lishan's aggressiveness was very rude.
The Hou in Lishan County is so crazy that there is no limit to it.
Cen Wenwen stood in front of the house, looking at the stars in the sky. The night was already dark and the wind was getting colder.
An hour later, the Prime Minister, Duke Zheng and Duke Zhao came out together.
Also coming out were Zhang Yang, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Shangguan Yi and the warrior Xun.
"It was a pleasure talking to you all this time."
"Zhang Yang, you must do what you promised."
"Um."
Zhang Yang agreed and finally said goodbye to everyone in the court. However, His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor were still sitting in the room, and they had no idea what the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty were talking about.
Walking under the starry night, Shangguan Yi asked: "Marquis of the county, the court hall is too old."
Zhang Yang replied: "People's learning ability is very strong. As long as the court has the ability to rise, they will abandon the cumbersome processes that are not conducive to the country. They will also chew and absorb the experience of Lishan, thus becoming the soil of the country."
"The county lord is a far-sighted person."
"Brother Shangguan, this is all for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the GDP of the Tang Dynasty."
He smiled in astonishment, "The county prince always says something that others can't understand."
"I am a selfish person."
"Um."
"I want to build this land."
"Your Majesty, I would like to give you this gift." After saying this, Shangguan Yi bowed and made a big salute.
"When do you plan to leave Lishan?"
"When you can enter the court."
Zhang Yang patted his shoulder again, "I'll leave it to you and Cen Wenwen to discuss the next specific details."
"I will try my best."
"Go home and rest."
After that, the two of them walked apart under the night, gradually drifting away.
At night, Zhang Yang walked home and saw his wife sitting by the stove with a small pot on the stove.
There was a gurgling sound coming from the pot, and she smiled and said, "Have you finished talking?"
Zhang Yang also sat down by the stove, nodded and said, "Well, it went very well."
Xiaohui and Xiaowu also made dumplings, and they poured them into the pot. Not long after, Li Lizhi and Li Zhi brought vinegar and dishes and put them on the table.
Zhang Yang sat next to his wife and said in a low voice: "It turns out you haven't slept yet."
Li Yue tucked her hair into a bun behind her ears and put her hands on her legs, "I can't sleep well because I have such an important matter at home that I haven't settled yet."
"Where's my daughter?"
"I have gone to bed long ago."
The moonlight was very bright today. She opened the pot lid and looked at the dumplings rolling in the pot. "Auntie said that many officials left midway, and she thought it was going to be dawn."
Zhang Yang let out a long breath of exhaustion, relaxed his back and said, "Well, it's almost dawn."
Li Zhi saw that the dumplings were floating and said quickly: "The dumplings are cooked."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qinghe, Gao Yang, and Dongyang, who were all groggy at the side, also became energetic and gathered around to pick up the dumplings and eat them.
Li Yue likes to dip her dumplings in vinegar, and she smiled happily after taking a bite.
The family slept until noon the next day and woke up. Zhang Yang felt a little guilty for his snooze and sat by the Huaqing Pool to wash up.
Hearing the sound of his aunt's words, His Majesty left in the morning. After the negotiation, the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty, father and son, chatted until dawn without knowing what they were talking about.
However, the aunt who purchased materials from Chang'an City brought news that there was another quarrel in the court this morning, and it seemed that there was another quarrel about Goguryeo.
It has been a long time since he took care of the affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette. Now Xu Jingzong is looking after the affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette. I think he must have a headache at the moment. Putting such a big thing in his hands will really exercise his ability.
