Chapter 1137: No less than a dispute to ask for a monthly ticket)
This trick again?
As soon as the representatives of the Jin Kingdom heard about this economic construction, they felt hatred in their hearts. It was Li Qi's economic construction that made them earn an unknown amount of money. It also made Wanyan Aguda value Li Qi very much at that time, so much so that Wanyan Zongwang was
Due to his father's majesty, he did not dare to take action against Li Qi, otherwise, he would not be here today.
Wanyan Xiyin snorted softly and said with a faint smile: "Economic construction? Economic Ambassador, your suggestion is good, but it is nothing more than that. In the past few years, we have not been able to see the promises you made at all.
"
Li Qi chuckled: "You are not wrong if you don't see it. The purpose of economic construction is to enrich the people, not officials. Although it was only in the preliminary stage in the past few years, it has promoted trade between the two countries. Why don't you go to the border?
Ask the common people to see if they have benefited from it. Moreover, I said back then that this is a huge project that cannot be completed in a day or two. Just as we, the Song Dynasty, are planning to increase our investment in your country
When I was investing, it was a pity that you sent troops to invade, causing the entire construction plan to suffer a devastating blow. How dare you blame me?"
Nowadays, we can fight, of course, whatever Li Qi says.
Wanyan Zongwang took retreat as a way to advance: "I think the economic officer will have to say that the entire plan will have to be restarted again, and it will take several more years to prepare."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This year, at the beginning of next year, we will officially start investing in your country. If you still don't believe it, we can write this down in the covenant. In my preliminary estimate, in the first half of next year,
We will invest 600,000 guan in your country, and in the second half of the year we will invest nearly 800,000 guan, which is much more than the so-called annual tribute."
Wanyan Xiyin asked doubtfully: "One year? Is it enough?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's enough. Thanks to your country's friendly help, our Song Dynasty has suffered an unprecedented blow, but our entire economic system in the Song Dynasty has taken shape. Even in this situation, our Jiangnan income far exceeds
Your golden country."
Now he no longer needs to pretend to be poor in front of the Kingdom of Jin. Not only that, he also wants to show his profound heritage in front of the Kingdom of Jin and let the people of the Kingdom of Jin understand that if you can't defeat the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, in this war of attrition, you can't
Possible to win.
Wanyan Zonghan disagreed at the beginning. Needless to say now, he didn’t want to talk nonsense to Li Qi. He said straightforwardly: "If you want to reach this peace agreement, you must do two things. First, your
The troops must withdraw from Yunzhou immediately; secondly, they must pay full tribute."
Sweat! It seems that you are still living in the past! Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "General Wanyan, maybe you can respond to everything in the Jin Kingdom, and everyone has to follow your suggestions, but in our Song Dynasty, what?
No, please pay attention to your tone. I won't be afraid of you. If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't stay here now and would have run away long ago. Back then, you used Yunzhou to get a lot of money from Da Song.
, but Yunzhou has always refused to exchange. Now that I have not settled this account with you, even if it is enough to give you face, do you want to talk about it? Who are you trying to scare? I don’t care anymore. There are a lot of them in this world.
The country is willing to cooperate with our Song Dynasty, am I still afraid that the money will not be spent?"
Wanyan Zonghan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he sneered and said, "You're such a talented kid!"
Li Qi was not afraid at all and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. But I thought you should have known it a long time ago."
Wanyan Zonghan stood up and walked outside without saying a word.
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Xiyin and others looked at each other and walked out. After all, this is Yunzhou. No matter what they think in their hearts, they still have to show unity in front of outsiders. Wanyan Zonghan has left.
If they still stay here, wouldn't they just slap Yan Zonghan in the face?
"Go slowly, don't send me off."
Li Qi drank tea and said without raising his eyelids.
After all the Jin representatives left, Niu Gao immediately pounced on him and said: "Bu Shuai, you were so brave just now. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Li Qi looked at him with a frown and said, "Didn't you admire me before?"
"ah---!"
Niu Gao was stunned immediately.
Yang Zaixing and others laughed one after another. Although the negotiation was unsuccessful, they all felt very happy. Is this called negotiation? In the past, all the negotiations were humiliating and asking for peace, pretending to be grandsons, and winning the war will still require order.
People are more relieved. After all, there have been too many things that caused trouble at this negotiation table in the past.
Zhong Shidao asked slightly worriedly: "Li Qi, do you think Jin Guo will agree?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but we must show our attitude, lest they always treat us as villains. Humph, I won't know who is playing tricks on whom from now on."
Although Zhong Shidao was a little worried, he couldn't make the final decision on this kind of thing. Li Qi had the final say in everything.
……．
"boom!"
As soon as Wanyan Zonghan returned to the house, he picked up the cup on the table and threw it heavily on the ground. He shouted angrily: "Xi Yin, you should immediately mobilize your troops and prepare to attack. If you don't kill the cook, I swear I won't."
As a human being.”
I have to say that Li Qi really made Wanyan Zonghan very angry.
Wanyan Xiyin frowned slightly and said, "Du Tong, please calm down and don't act out of anger."
Wanyan Zonghan turned his head, glared at Wanyan Xiyin, and roared: "Can't you see that the cook wants to be on an equal footing with us? What qualifications do they have? What I care about is not the millions of tributes
, but they are so ignorant that they dare to threaten Daikin. If we don't teach them a lesson, wouldn't our Daikin lose face?"
Wanyan Zongwang said calmly: "Zong Han, calm down first."
"How do you tell me to calm down?"
"Don't you think I won't be angry? But we have to consider the overall situation. What can we gain if we try for a short time? Do you want to see the country that my father has worked so hard to conquer be defeated by me and others?
Are you there?" Wanyan Zongwang said in a deep voice.
Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly: "Zong Wang, are you afraid of being beaten by the Song army?"
Wanyan Zongwang retorted: "If you can defeat this Song army, then we don't have to negotiate here. Haven't you noticed yet? Now the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties have changed, and even the emperor has changed. If we
If we thought they were our prey, then we would have made a fatal mistake. Have you ever thought about why the cook was so tough just now? This was not meant to scare us. How dare he talk nonsense about such an important negotiation?
.”
Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly said: "Du Tong, although that cook is annoying, his words are not wrong. If this negotiation fails, the Southern Dynasty will definitely form an alliance with Yelu Dashi. If Yelu Dashi makes a comeback by then, plus
Goryeo, we have to face the dilemma of fighting on three sides. The reason why Taizu was able to establish Dajin so quickly was that although Taizu used his troops like a god and was invincible, part of the credit came from Taizu.
Diplomatic strategy.”
Gao Qingyi nodded and said: "Yes, Dutong, the strategy adopted by Emperor Taizu against the Liao Kingdom was to establish distant relations and attack closely, isolate the Liao Kingdom, first unite with Goryeo and the Song Dynasty, and then win over Xixia. If not for this, how could the Liao Kingdom be like this?
It will soon be destroyed. The current situation is very similar to that of the past. Not long after our founding, we did not have much influence in the surrounding countries. They still favored the Song Dynasty. Yelu Dashi had always wanted to revive the Liao Kingdom, and Goryeo did not want to surrender.
Although Xixia and Dajin have surrendered to Dajin, it can be seen from this war that they are not sincere in surrendering to Dajin. In this case, we should form an alliance with Song Dynasty and solve these problems first.
Please, please try something else."
After hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan slapped the table in annoyance, sat down, and said, "How do you tell me to swallow this breath?"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "What do you mean? I am even more angry than you, but the facts have told us that the Southern Dynasties have undergone earth-shaking changes. We must re-examine our strategy for the Southern Dynasties. This is what we urgently need to do.
"
Wanyan Xiyin added: "Moreover, most people in our country do not hate the Southern Dynasty as much as they do the Liao Kingdom. If they agree to send troops to attack the Southern Dynasty, they can get more money. If not, many tribesmen will not be willing, and
But in the Southern Dynasty, because we sent troops this time, the whole country was united. If we did not get the support of the whole country, it would be difficult for us to continue fighting against the Southern Dynasty."
In fact, at the beginning, they were not prepared for a protracted war. If they could not capture Kaifeng, they would extort some money and then retreat immediately, so that they are now in a dilemma.
Wanyan Zonghan was not stupid, but he was stunned by Li Qi's anger. After everyone's repeated persuasion, he had calmed down and knew that if he sent troops to attack now, he might end up in a place where the Jin Kingdom would never be restored. He sighed longly,
Said: "Zong Wang, what do you think we should do? You and Xiyin are better at handling this matter than me."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Now we can only agree to their conditions, but we must state in the covenant when and how many merchants will be sent, how much money will be invested in our Jin country, etc. In fact, if his economic construction works, it will be far better than that
A million-year-old tribute is much better. Zong Han, I know you are not willing to give in, and neither am I, but even so, our struggle with the Southern Dynasties continues. There is a saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, but we are no longer willing to fight.
It is simply force, but the entire national strength. We must take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly consolidate the rear and internal areas, and we will never allow this to happen again."
"Okay, let's go ahead with this negotiation as you say."
Wanyan Zonghan nodded, his eyes closed slightly, and he said coldly: "Yelü Dashi, I will never let you go."
