Upon hearing this, everyone in the Yan Kingdom looked at each other.
The Song State is very well-informed about the news. The Song State already knows the situation in Shanbei.
However, the changes in Emperor Song were not small.
Back then, he was a ruthless man who was not afraid of anything. He would fight to the death even if he couldn't be beaten.
No one from Yan State said anything now, but Wang Dezhao mentioned it when dealing with the Zhenshan Sect monks.
In the future, when Wang Daoyuan is free, he will personally go to reclaim the territory occupied by other countries.
We still have no idea how to deal with it in practice.
I didn't expect Song Guo to be so proactive. As soon as he got the news, he took the initiative to apologize.
Wang Mingchen did not give a direct answer: "The Tianzhan Mountain Range is of great importance, and I dare not make a rash decision.
Please first ask your envoy to stay at Honglu Temple, and then I will reply to your envoy after I have discussed it with all the ministers."
Song Ren cupped his hands and said, "Foreign ministers, please retire."
Later, he followed Wang Daochang and left the Huangji Hall and headed to Honglu Temple outside the imperial city.
Wang Mingchen thought for a while: "In the Tianzhan Mountain Range south of the Wanchuan River, my father planned to exchange interests with other countries.
He should have no further thoughts in these places.
Now these countries directly occupy these territories without saying hello to us.
After all, these countries have all fought against monsters and made some achievements.
It seems unkind for us to insist on asking for it back.
But if there is no expression, it is not appropriate.
Zhao State had previously traded Linhai Prefecture for territory, but now it was given to other countries for free. Zhao State would inevitably have some thoughts.
What do you think?"
Wang Shouye replied: "Before, Daoyuan planned to exchange benefits, but what benefits could Song State offer in exchange?
If we exchange territory like Zhao did, we are not bordering the Song Dynasty, and it will be difficult to obtain territory, and it will also arouse the hatred of the Song Dynasty forces.
We are all lacking in spiritual stones, inheritance, materials and other things now, so it is pointless to ask for these things."
Wang Mingkang's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. It is not good to take back these territories, and the Song Dynasty cannot exchange them for them.
It is better to let them maintain the status quo. The territory they have already occupied belongs to them, and they are not allowed to occupy new territory.
Of course, we can't let them occupy this territory in vain.
We still have to exchange benefits, and this benefit is to allow the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce to do business there.
Moreover, the remaining land there will be developed in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. The Song State is not allowed to interfere, and it also promises to protect the Chamber of Commerce.
In this way, our Chamber of Commerce's plan to expand to other countries will be a big step forward."
Wang Mingzhi nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea. If the Song Dynasty agrees to this, then we can make it a common practice.
Take some territory that is inconvenient to occupy and exchange it for other countries to agree to allow the chamber of commerce to do business.
The State of Qi in the east of the Song State, the State of Wu in the south, and several other small nearby countries all occupied some territory.
We can also take this opportunity to extend the scope of influence of the Chamber of Commerce to Southern Wasteland.
The royal families of Wei, Zheng, and Zhou in the west are all members of the Zhou family, and they can all be descended from the Queen Mother.
The Emperor also has a good relationship with them, so doing business should not be a problem.
In this way, I am afraid that it will only take a hundred or two hundred years for the Chamber of Commerce's influence to cover the territories of various countries."
Wang Mingchen nodded: "Then let's do it this way. It's not bad for them to protect the chamber of commerce in exchange for part of the territory.
Zhao Guo's side can also be justified, after all, they have the most territory.
Our Yan State and Zhao State have many historical connections and have a good relationship. It should not be a problem for the Chamber of Commerce to pass through Zhao State's territory.
If you have no objection, then we will reply to the Song Dynasty in this way."
Wang Shouye shook his head: "You can't rush this matter."
Wang Daochang had also returned to Huangji Hall and said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, let's wait for the Song Dynasty envoy for a while.
Song Yan has a serious character flaw, and when there is a profit to be made, he does not care about the consequences at all.
Now, although I am afraid of my seventh brother, I dare not confront us openly.
But in the future, the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce will do business near the Song Dynasty, and he wants to use some tricks, but we really can't do anything about him.
If you are doing business, you cannot send all your family's wealth to the south of Wanlong Mountain to watch the Song Dynasty.
If he feels that it is too easy, he will feel that Yan State cannot do anything to him and have other thoughts.
It's better to hang up Ambassador Song now and let him think that we want to deal with him, but let him go because we don't want to cause trouble."
For a moment, everyone had smiles on their faces. Wang Shouye said with a smile: "Dao Chang's method is better. Song Yan has a huge personality flaw, and he is quite conceited.
We still need to shock him to make him be more honest."
After more than a month, Wang Mingchen did not summon Song Envoy again, which made Song Envoy feel anxious.
On the other hand, Wang Daochang often went to Honglu Temple to chat with him, but he never talked about anything substantial.
As soon as the Song Dynasty envoy asked about Wanlong Mountain, Wang Daochang talked about him.
As a result, he felt even more unsure.
After two months of tossing, the envoy of Song Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore and insisted on meeting Emperor Yan.
Wang Daochang had a troubled look on his face, but he was already happy.
However, with his insistence, it would be rude if Wang Mingchen didn't see him.
Wang Daochang pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time before taking him to see Wang Mingchen.
Arriving at the Huangji Palace, Song Ren quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, the Song State's occupation of part of Wanlong Mountain's territory was completely unintentional.
The Song State is willing to double compensation for all losses suffered by the Yan State.
I also ask Lord Yan to spare the Song State’s faults if you have enough.”
Wang Shouye snorted coldly: "Our country, Yan, won these territories at the risk of our lives.
The Wang family's children lost several hundred, and the ordinary people lost more than 100,000.
The Supreme Emperor even traveled between the West Sea, East China Sea and Shanbei, and fell into death many times.
Song Guo didn't even say hello, but just occupied Yan Guo's territory at will. Does it look down on our Yan Guo?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ren was shocked.
If he hadn't been an envoy and represented the Song Dynasty, he might have knelt down at this moment.
If Wang Shouye plays a bad role, Wang Mingchen will have to play a bad role.
"Messenger Song, there is no need to be so panicked. The demon clan still has quite a lot of power now.
As the guardian of the east of the human race, our country, Yan, naturally focuses on suppressing the demon clan and does not want the human race to fight against each other.
It's just that some elders in the clan can't think about it. After all, these territories were obtained with the lives of members of my Wang family.
If it weren't for my father's unwillingness to take action, I'm afraid these elders of mine would have sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty.
Our country, Yan, has established the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce, this noble envoy should have heard about it, right?"
To deal with someone like Song Yan, you have to use both soft and hard tactics.
The two of them were singing a double act, and Ambassador Song was pinched to death.
Song Ren nodded repeatedly: "In the past few months in Honglu Temple, I did hear some things about the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce."
"The purpose of the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce is to develop industries and sell the specialties in Yan State to other places to earn some profits.
The Tianzhan Mountain Range bordering the Song, Qi, Wu and other countries is also included in the development plan of the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce.
We, the State of Yan, may not take back the territory occupied by your country, but we, the State of Song, are not allowed to invade new territories.
Moreover, if the Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce develops the industry there in the future, the Song State needs to protect it.
The Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce is conducting normal trade within the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty cannot obstruct it."
After hearing this, Song Ren felt as if he had been granted amnesty.
Wang Shouye continued to look angry: "Your Majesty, this..."
Wang Mingchen said coldly: "I have already decided on this matter. This is also what my father means."
Wang Shouye snorted coldly and left the Huangji Hall with a puff of sleeves.
Song Ren then breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, Emperor Yan, the Song Kingdom agrees to all these conditions."
Wang Mingchen nodded: "Third Uncle, it is up to you to discuss the details of this matter with Ambassador Song."
Wang Daochang cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."
Afterwards, he took Song Ren away from the palace and returned to Honglu Temple to carefully discuss the details of cooperation between the two parties.
