Nowadays, new firearms are still being manufactured, and even if the Firearms Department works overtime, the output will be limited, so General Xu Qing postponed the departure of the army.
Xu Qing's marketing method of binding colored glaze to love needs to be pushed forward later. The current market is no longer suitable for adding colored glaze.
Xu Qing originally just wanted to steal some money from the grassland, but in the end, the Emperor of Chu described him as a plotter and the King of Chu as his heart.
He just wants to do business well. What crime does he have?
A Glazed Wolf King only buys 500,000 taels, and the Glazed Merchant makes no money at all...
Really, day in and day out, he was slandered as a patriotic businessman.
Xu Qing may be very busy in the next period of time, because he has to spare one or two hours every day to talk to Agula, the leader of the Grassland Mission.
Agula thought the negotiation would be successful, so he worked very hard, but in Xu Qing's opinion, the negotiation was just a game of house.
However, even Xu Qing, a playboy, and his improvised negotiating team had to ensure that the grassland people saw the hope of an alliance and were getting closer and closer to achieving their goal.
This negotiation made the envoy from the Chu State very unhappy. Although not everyone has the righteousness of their family and country, they felt a little uncomfortable talking to the prairie people who had always been called barbarians by the Chu State.
Do you really plan to form an alliance with the grassland?
But no matter what others think, Xu Qing doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he doesn't even feel anything about it. He has already received 600,000 taels of entertainment fees from others, and he still doesn't make others feel more comfortable. That's too profiteer.
Got it!
Therefore, in line with the principle of getting what you pay for, Xu Qing still tried his best to give Agula and his party the highest courtesy.
Finally, after today's negotiation ended, Fangliang, the deputy envoy of Honglu Temple, couldn't help but asked: "Marquis Anding, what do you want to do? What benefits did they give you? How can you treat a group of barbarians?
Such courtesy?!"
He couldn't help but be upset. Originally, as the Minister of Honglu Temple in the Three Provinces, Six Ministries and Nine Temples, he was originally a diplomat. Now, whenever diplomatic negotiations and alliance matters came up, His Majesty would hand everything over to Xu Qing, the Marquis of Anding County who had only been in court for two years.
, as one of the nine ministers, he can only be second to his deputy?
How can this make him feel balanced?
Fang Liang is not a jealous person, but it is true that the Marquis of Anding County has gone too far, and there is a vague tendency to ignore him, the minister of Honglu Temple.
However, thinking that the Marquis of Anding County was highly regarded by the officials of the six ministries, he could only hide his dissatisfaction. But now seeing him chatting happily with a group of barbarians made him angry.
Fang Liang hummed, "How can this make me calm down? Isn't it possible that the Anding County Marquis's behavior will make people think that Chu is afraid of their grasslands? If this spreads to Zhou and other vassal countries, I'm afraid he will be ridiculed."
, harming the prestige of our country!”
Xu Qing said with a smile, "Then let them smile first. Lord Fang, don't worry. Everything is still under our control. The fun is yet to come. Lord Fang will wait and see."
Fang Liang said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that you are so obedient to the grassland mission under your control? Aren't you afraid that I will go to His Majesty to testify against the Marquis Anding and say that you have harmed the prestige of the country?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "In that case, Sir Fang, please do it."
Xu Qing has already seen that the Honglu Temple Minister is probably not happy with him. He has no choice but to let him steal his job. Since it is useless to say so much, it is better to let him do it.
After he left, he still had to go home and play with Ning'er.
Fang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I don't dare to interfere with you?!"
Xu Qing said as he went out: "I might as well calm down and think about the pros and cons carefully before I go out and ask myself whether face or appearance is more important."
Is it true that the grassland can rest assured?
If you don’t lower your attitude, can the grassland believe you?
Really, what do you want after you have defrauded someone of 600,000 taels?
Xu Qing cannot tell these words to the Minister of Honglu Temple. The fewer people who know the true purpose of Chu State, the better. If the Minister of Honglu Temple wants to go to the Emperor of Chu to complain, then Xu Qing has nothing to do. The real plan is
It is impossible to spread the word. The more people who know, the greater the risk of exposure.
The Chu State's treasury is not rich now. In this war, Chu State wants to take advantage of the grassland to relax its vigilance and capture the grassland with lightning speed. Of course, it must make the grassland feel that Chu State and the grassland are forming an alliance.
If you can't even deceive your own people, how can you make the enemy take it lightly?
When Xu Qing came out of Honglu Temple, he saw that Agula hadn't left yet, so he walked over and said, "Why hasn't the envoy gone back yet?"
Agula said, "Of course I'm waiting here for the Marquis of Anding County."
Xu Qing said: "Chu and the grassland are brothers. If the envoy has something to say, it doesn't matter."
Agula said: "I think the Marquis of Anding County also knows that the deputy envoy for this trip is the second prince of my grassland Khan. He has been extremely alert, handsome and unrestrained since he was a child..."
Xu Qing twitched his lips and said, "Let's not say any polite words to make up the number of words."
The second prince's brain is not as good as that of King Qi, but is he extremely clever?
How come you don't blush at all when you say this?
Agula laughed dryly and said: "That's right, the second prince is the favorite prince of our dynasty Khan. I came to your country this time in the hope of finding a good match, and for our two families to be forever connected with the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
I hope that the Chu Kingdom and the Grassland Alliance will last forever and advance and retreat together."
The Liuli Wolf King, who was given a thumbs down by the Chu State when he first arrived, never had time to speak out about the marriage. Now, with the smooth progress of the transaction between the two countries, the negotiations between the grassland and the Chu State are getting smoother.
, Agula naturally said this.
Now that what he said is very clear, it just depends on how to reply.
But thinking about it, I probably wouldn't refuse. Six hundred thousand taels were spent. Although it was the money to buy the Glazed Wolf King, it's not too much to give it to a princess, right?
Xu Qing's eyes looked strange: "This..."
Seeing the hesitation on Xu Qing's face, Agula said: "Since ancient times, there are only two ways for the alliance to last long, either through marriage or by sending protons to each other. However, our grassland and the Central Plains are brothers. If
If the covenant between the two countries is to use protons, I'm afraid it will damage the friendship between the two countries. In the end, it is better to have a marriage than to come naturally, so I ask the Marquis of Anding County to think carefully about it."
When Xu Qing heard Agula's words, he couldn't help but picture King Qi in his mind. He couldn't help but murmured: "Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with sending protons to each other..."
