Chapter 626: A plan within a plan, a plan within a plan!
After Yao Yun's explanation, the second elders Wu Tong, Bald Long, and Second Master Long finally understood the meaning, and they all clapped their hands and applauded.
The bald dragon smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this deal is too good. Why don't you marry a few more concubines, all of which are one hundred thousand taels of gold as betrothal gifts, and plunder all the countries in the Southern Wilderness? By then, Xi Country will be rich.
Already."
Yao Yun: "Get out!"
Everyone laughed, but soon after the laughter, the second elder Wu Tong had some doubts and said: "Uncle Mo, will Uncle Shan Yuan see through our trap of robbing their wealth and regret it when the time comes..."
Before Yao Yun could speak, the bald dragon said disdainfully: "How dare they give him less as a dowry after seeing what's the use? This dragon will give him a fist as big as a mountain and teach him a lesson!"
Yao Yun shook his head with a smile and said: "The second elder is worrying too much. The tea, silk, and porcelain of the Xi Kingdom are all extremely valuable. Uncle Mo and Uncle Shan Yuan can also sell them at high prices if they are sold to other princes.
"How is this a trap? If you don't tell me, Second Elder, can you see through it?"
The second elder was stunned and his face turned red. When he first saw the betrothal gift list from Xi Kingdom, he subconsciously felt distressed and had no idea of the king's intention.
But now, the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom are filled with gratitude to the king. It is obvious that they are not aware of the truth and are still quiet in happiness and emotion.
In fact, when Yao Yun first discussed with the Prime Minister Sun Muyue, Sun Muyue, the extremely intelligent and pragmatic Prime Minister who had governed the country for a long time, could not turn around. It was only when Yao Yun repriced certain goods that she
Be enlightened.
"Second Elder, you don't have to worry too much. If Gu didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't have thought of it. Only Gu's army came to the city. When he was in need of money, he saw that most of the money and food in the treasury had been replaced by exquisite and luxurious tea, silk, and porcelain.
, he will finally wake up."
Yao Yun smiled brightly. Many people in this world do not have a detailed concept of wealth and economy, but Yao Yun sees it more clearly than them.
Bald Long, Second Elder Wu Tong, and Second Master Long were all dumbfounded after hearing Yao Yun's words, with their mouths open and speechless.
The King (Crown Prince) has too many tricks, tricks within tricks, tricks within tricks, one link after another, it’s terrifying to think about it carefully.
Excluding expenses, the ordinary uncle country does not have much gold, swords, coins, and copper shells at its disposal in the treasury. Two hundred thousand taels of gold is undoubtedly a huge amount of wealth for the uncle country.
If the two countries want to collect a dowry of equal value, they will probably subsidize it from all over the place and tighten their belts, so that this marriage can be a beautiful one.
If the situation is calm, the two countries will not suffer much loss, but if the Xi Kingdom launches an army to attack, the tea, gorgeous silks, and exquisite porcelain will have no value.
What you need to fight is real money and food!
"Your Majesty, this is too... cunning... no, too clever. To subjugate the enemy without fighting, without spending a single soldier, the vitality of Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom will be greatly damaged."
The second elder, Wu Tong, was speechless. It was so sinister. A small land marriage actually dug such a big hole for the Mo country and the Shan Yuan country. In the Mo country, Shan Yuan Bo probably didn't even know how he died.
"In fact, the benefits are more than that. Xiguo has a big advantage against Moguo. This is just a casual move, and I don't take it to heart. If it succeeds, Xiguo will make a lot of money, and by the way, it will provide Xiguo tea.
, silk, porcelain and other goods have increased the value of the goods, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone."
Yao Yun smiled slightly. In the future, Xi Kingdom's tea, silk, and porcelain will have new gimmicks. In order to obtain Xi Kingdom's high-quality tea, porcelain, and silk, the two princes of the Southern Wilderness did not hesitate to marry their legitimate daughters to the Marquis of Xi.
As a concubine...
If a person wants to be popular, he needs to have a "meme" that makes everyone talk about it. If an item wants to be popular and sell for a high price, it needs a story.
The story of "Princes marrying their daughters in exchange for treasures" can attract a large group of melon-eating people anywhere in the world. In order to obtain these treasures, Fang Bojun even married his legitimate daughter to someone else as a concubine. How crazy is this?
And strange things.
Anyone with some eyesight can see the flaws in the story, but those with extraordinary knowledge are rare. The more bizarre the story, the more widely spread it is, the higher the value of Xiguo's tea and silk, and the more popular they are.
Second Elder Wu Tong, Uncle Long, and Second Master Long swallowed their saliva, how could they still be like this? For a moment, one person and two dragons seemed to have opened up a new world, and everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, if there are any other benefits, please tell me."
"There is another advantage. You also know that our alliance with the Marriage Alliance can alienate their relationship with the Chu State." Yao Yun blinked and raised the letter in his hand.
The second elder nodded slightly: "This old man knows that, but since the monarchs of the two countries dare to marry us, they will definitely be angry with the Marquis of Chu. This alienation plan may not work as expected."
"What the second elder said is true. Ordinary quarrels are useless. That's because the rumors are not widespread enough and detailed enough. Three people can become a tiger. If the rumors of the Mo Kingdom are spread everywhere in the Southern Wilderness countries, and the Shanyuan Kingdom completely surrenders to our country, I am willing to do it for me.
The country of Xi follows the work of dogs and horses, rather than a covenant to jointly resist monsters.
Think about it, what will the Marquis of Chu think then? No matter how much he trusts Uncle Mo and Uncle Shan Yuan, he will still be suspicious in his heart.
The second elder nodded repeatedly: "What the king said is reasonable, and what others say is frightening. Although this move cannot completely break up the alliance between Chu State, Mo State, and Shanyuan State, it can drive a wedge between the two parties and help us swallow up Mo State and Shanyuan State in the future.
The country has laid the groundwork, um~ of course, in that case, when the princesses of the two countries get married, we can send people to spread rumors everywhere."
"Second Elder, there is no need to worry." Yao Yun said confidently: "A few years ago, Gu ordered Hu Yi to deploy many informants in various countries in the Southern Wilderness. Now that we have formed a close alliance with the Mo Country and the Shanyuan Country, these informants have begun to spread public opinion.
Build momentum.
These informants are either businessmen traveling around or local people. They are very secretive and cannot be seen by others, which is much more reliable than our Xi Kingdom sending people secretly."
Yao Yun was talking eloquently, and the second elder, Wu Tong, and the other two nodded their heads in succession, with emotion and relief in their hearts.
Unknowingly, the king made so many preparations silently. He was not at all arrogant and underestimated the enemy just because the Xi Kingdom was stronger than the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom. He was well organized and made steady progress.
A few days later, Princess Moran of the Mo Kingdom and Princess Shanping of the Shanyuan Kingdom were married to the Xi Kingdom. The carriages they brought along with them, like two long dragons, went to the Xi Kingdom.
For a time, all the countries in the Southern Wilderness were in an uproar, and everyone was shocked.
The betrothal gift of 200,000 taels of gold, and the marriage of the legitimate daughters of the two eldest uncles as concubines, no matter which news it is, is extremely shocking, but when the two pieces of news are combined into one, it is undoubtedly sensational.
While the countries in the Southern Wilderness were talking about these two marriages, news about the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom turning their backs on the Chu Kingdom and joining the Xi Kingdom began to spread quietly among the Southern Wilderness countries.
