The Persian emperor granted him land within a hundred miles. If a small village could be exchanged for large-scale sea trade, it would be a huge profit.
So Kraft said without hesitation that he would cede that place directly to Dagan.
He even felt that the space was too small and he would carve out more space when the time came.
After listening to Kraft's words, Song Yang shook his head and said:
"No! General Kraft, I think you have misunderstood. Daqian does not want your Persian territory!"
"Persia is a good friend of Daqian, and we have fought side by side again. Daqian has always adhered to the concept of good neighborliness and friendship, so why would it want Persian territory?"
Kafu was a little stunned. Didn't Wang Kai and Song Yang make territorial claims before?
Song Yang sat back and explained with a smile:
"Kafu, the land of Persia is too far away, so it doesn't make much sense for us to want that enclave."
It's true, even if you need a place, it's only temporary.
Once Daqian is no longer there one day in the future, there is no telling whether this enclave can be saved.
Heaven and earth change, dynasties change, and no dynasty can last forever.
The current conditions make it impossible to build an ideal society, so Song Yang is not sure whether his descendants can keep their jobs in the future.
If we use our current strength to occupy a remote area, it will most likely be wiped out once the sun goes down.
So Song Yang proposed another method.
Just listen to Song Yang continue to say:
"However, since we want to carry out sea trade, we do need a port in Daqian."
"If the Persian side is willing to develop Bandar Abbas Port, I am willing to rent this port."
"Of course, if there are other ports in Persia, we can also consider leasing them."
"However, I am still more optimistic about Abbas' place."
After Song Yang finished speaking, Kraft was really shocked.
"What? Lend? Dagan wants to lease a port in Persia?"
It was not a cession but a lease!
This is an essential difference. If it is ceded, this place will not be owned by Persia.
As for the lease, not only does the sovereignty still belong to Persia, but you can even receive the lease fee from Daqian.
The most important thing is that once this port is built, Dagan's fleet arrives in Persia, or the Persian fleet goes to Dagan, it will bring unprecedented prosperity to Persia.
Even with abundant financial support, Persia is likely to regain its strength three hundred years ago and rebuild the vast Persian Empire!
Moreover, Kraft did not consider other ports. The location mentioned by Song Yang is indeed good.
It is located between Qeshm Island and the Persian Empire mainland. Building a port there can also better exercise sovereignty over Qeshm Island.
"It is indeed a lease, but the lease period can be longer. For example, a thousand years." Song Yang added, looking at the shocked Kraft.
"A thousand years?" Kraft was stunned. Such a long time?
I have never heard of any contract that can be signed for a thousand years.
But then I thought about it, it’s a rental anyway, it doesn’t matter how long it takes.
What's more, this place was originally planned to be ceded directly to Daqian.
The Dagan people did not ask for sovereignty over this place, but instead offered to lease it.
Then what else does he have to say.
Kafu immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Persia is willing to rent it to you no matter how long it takes!"
"OK!"
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!" Song Yang smiled.
Song Yang and Kraft clinked their teacups, and each drank a cup of tea before sitting back and continuing:
"As for maritime trade, you can rest assured that Daqian is building a giant ship that can cross oceans."
"Sea trade channels will be opened soon."
"This may only take three to five years. During this period, you, Persia, need to develop Bandar Abbas Port."
After listening to Song Yang's words, Kraft immediately stated that it would build Bandar Abbas Port as soon as possible.
Building a port was affordable for Persia.
Moreover, if the hydrological conditions are good, they can still use it themselves even if Daqian's sea-going ships cannot come.
This does no harm to Persia.
Kafu said that he would raise the matter with the Persian emperor as soon as he returned.
Kraft believed that his uncle, the emperor, would be happy with this business.
"That's good. The last thing is about rent. Do you need to communicate with the emperor of your country about this?"
Kafu shook his head and said solemnly: "No need. Your Majesty, you are kind to us Persians. Although we Persians like money, we also value trust."
"So we can use that port group to work, and the rent only costs 1 gold coin per year!"
Song Yang laughed after listening to Kafu's words: "Haha! Okay! Then I will not reject Persia's kindness!"
"Yes, yes! This is what we Persians should do!" Kafu said with a smile.
Regarding the leasing of the port, it has basically been finalized.
Song Yang has to go back and draft a copy of the contract.
Song Yang was about to send Krafu away when Krafu asked hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, I wonder when we can return to Persia? If we want to build a port, it would be better to go back earlier."
This guy is still a little worried.
Song Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already negotiated business with you. Why would we force you to stay here?"
"Of course, in view of the damage you have caused to the Western Region, you have to leave two thousand people to rebuild like the Moon People. Well... let's go to Broken Leaf."
Kafu breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if he left two thousand men behind. The Persians also had a hierarchy. It didn't matter if he left two thousand low-level soldiers. He could just go back.
With Song Yang's words, Kraft was completely relieved.
"Then I'll take my leave now," Kafu said knowingly.
"I will come back to you in a few days after I have drawn up the contract."
…
Song Yang said he would draft the contract in a few days, but it only took one night.
The next day, Song Yang found Kraft again.
Kraft was a little worried on the way here. If Song Yang changed his mind and the sea trade fell through, it would be a huge loss.
As a result, when he saw the contract drawn up by Song Yang, he was once again stunned by Song Yang's talent.
Can a contract be made by someone?
This is clearly a treasure handed down from God!
"Oh my god! How could there be such a perfect contract!"
"How could this be? It turns out that it can be written like this here!"
“Absolutely incredible!”
Kraft kept exclaiming in shock.
After reading a few articles, Kraft took the contract and said to Song Yang tremblingly:
"Your Majesty! This contract of yours is so standard! And every agreement is clear and concise! I can guarantee that this is the most perfect contract in the world! I really admire your talent!"
The contract was actually finalized that afternoon.
Song Yang just randomly recruited a contract template and used it as a set.
As for finding Kraft after one night...
Just look at the dark circles under Wang Kai’s eyes.
Kraft didn't understand the Dagan language, so he could only write the contract in Xiongnu. In order to translate the contract, Wang Kai almost died of exhaustion.
Because there are many words that are not found in Hunnu language at all.
Wang Kai racked his brains to think of some alternative words, but Song Yang rejected them one by one, and finally found the closest one and wrote a contract.
