Chapter 496 Cooperation
The hall fell silent immediately, Li Xian's question was really too big. Zhao Guo wants to cooperate with Shang Kingdom in all aspects. This is a big deal. If the cooperation is successful, it will bring countless benefits to Shang Kingdom.
But Li Xian's worry is also very reasonable. After all, Zhao Guo's background is there. If Zhao Guo is inspired by the development of the Shang Kingdom, it is really possible that the latecomers will surpass the development of the Shang Kingdom.
Everyone is thinking hard, hoping to speak representatively - this is an opportunity to express themselves. But here in the Shang Kingdom, as long as they have the ability, they will definitely be reused; because the Shang Kingdom is expanding rapidly, the best officials are always in short supply!
Unfortunately, it was Xu Ren who spoke first.
"Master, I have two considerations.
First, the Kingdom of Shang is now constantly expanding, and our tentacles are constantly extending. Therefore, we need allies! If we continue to implement the so-called isolation policy, we will inevitably be attacked by countless greedy countries, sects, sects, etc. in the end.
Second, there is no need to doubt Zhao's background, but Zhao's national system is also difficult to achieve. In my opinion, if the rest of the countries do not implement capitalism and abolish the old system, they will not be able to fundamentally surpass us.
It is impossible for the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom to give up the rights in his hands, let alone let the various aristocratic families of the Zhao Kingdom control business and so on. Just this point, it is doomed that Zhao Guo cannot surpass us!
Finally, I would like to say that the strong are not afraid of challenges; if the Shang Kingdom wants to develop, it must not be afraid of challenges either! Now it's just Yingzhou!
Don't forget, Your Majesty is from the 'Taihao Divine Court'! "
Xu Ren transmitted the last sentence to Li Xian alone, and no one else could hear it.
Xu Ren spoke, and the rest of the people suddenly realized, and expressed their opinions one after another. Among them, Li Yuanming was also keenly aware of Zhao Guo's "problem of arrogance", which was what Ji Buxian analyzed to Zhao Ming.
For a while, fantastic ideas emerged one after another, and gradually pieced together a real "best of both worlds" solution:
First of all, Zhao Guo wants to cooperate in all aspects, and Shang Guo agrees.
Second, there is no problem with cooperation, but Shang Kingdom also needs enough benefits. This benefit includes the construction of a 180,000-mile railway artery, the construction of an airport, and a portion of land (which can be from other countries).
The third is to establish a political alliance, and it will be an equal - Zhao State can ignore Tang State's affairs.
Fourth, help the Kingdom of Shang to expand the business, market, etc. in the middle of Yingzhou; and when the merchants of the Kingdom of Shang are in crisis, the State of Zhao must step forward.
Fifth, the exchange of resources, materials, and practice.
Sixth, after the above-mentioned negotiations are completed, we will talk about the gold issue.
There are countless other small discussions, and everyone has been discussing until sunrise.
At this moment, Li Yulong contacted Li Xian through Lingtong Baojian, and he was talking about Cai Guo's affairs. Cai Guo's envoy Wang Zongbao arrived in Tang State and asked Tang State to send rescue.
Li Yulong's purpose in contacting Li Xian was to let Li Xian dispatch troops from the south to threaten and contain Xiao Guo, so that Xiao Guo could be busy at both ends; in this way, Tang Guo could easily keep Cai Guo. With such a capable son as Li Xian, Li Yulong is not polite to use him.
Li Xian read the letter, without further ado, he sent orders to the generals defending Guangling County and began to deploy troops.
At the same time, Li Xian immediately arranged to speak, and said—the temporary kidnapping, there is no evidence to prove that Cai Guo did it.
According to the laws of the Kingdom of Shang, it is not yet possible to impose sanctions on Cai Guo.
In other words, the Kingdom of Shang disagrees with the Kingdom of Xiao using this as an excuse to attack the Kingdom of Cai, so in order to maintain the justice of the Kingdom of Shang, we ask you, the Kingdom of Xiao, to stop your actions immediately, or you will bear the consequences.
Of course, Xiao Guo can also continue to attack Cai Guo, but this excuse cannot be used now!
In short, the reaction of the Shang Kingdom broke Xiao Guo's wishful thinking - not only did the Shang Kingdom not appreciate it, but turned around and slapped Xiao Guo flat!
But after arranging these things, Li Xian was in no mood to pay attention to them, because Zhao Guo's Zhongshu ordered Ji Buxian to visit.
Although Ji Buxian said a lot of questions to Prince Zhao Ming, Ji Buxian is not a short-sighted person who gives up eating because of choking. Ji Buxian saw the help of industry and commerce to the country. If there is opposition in the country, it is a big deal to adopt some "white lies".
Besides, the negotiation cannot be completed overnight. If we really want to cooperate in all aspects, I am afraid that the negotiation may go on for several months or even longer. It is acceptable if you accidentally delay for three to five years.
Ji Buxian originally planned to come this morning to talk about Li Xian's tone, to see if cooperation could be started, but Ji Buxian was very surprised——Li Xian agreed without any difficulty or even pretentiousness.
"I hope we can maintain a good cooperation atmosphere from the beginning to the eternal future." Li Xian's big words moved Ji Buxian very much:
It's really not easy to meet a straight-talking emperor these days. Many emperors and the like talk for a long time, and you don't know what he is talking about.
It is really rare to express a clear meaning as directly, simply, and clearly as Li Xian!
But having said that, the reason why Li Xian is like this is also because of self-confidence!
With such a good start, Xu Ren exchanged opinions and directions on behalf of Li Xian and Ji Buxian; this preliminary exchange of opinions was very pleasant for both parties, and it was time for lunch in a blink of an eye.
I wanted to have lunch together, but I didn't want things to change again. Ji Caiji, the president of Bailing Group, the three kings of the Wuya Mountain Monster Race, and the king of nine tails, the fox spirit, came to visit.
Ji Caiji didn't even look at Ji Buxian, and came directly to Li Xian, smiling brightly, "King Xian, yesterday we got some extremely rare ingredients.
Thanks to the care of the virtuous king, he specially invited the virtuous king to taste it this time. "
Ji Buxian frowned immediately, it was very impolite to interrupt other people's conversation like this. But considering the identity of the other party and the current environment, Ji Buxian finally did not speak. 'I won't argue with a monster who doesn't know etiquette. '
Li Xian thought for a while, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I will go there at 11:30 noon today."
"Then we will wait for the King Xian." After Ji Caiji finished speaking, she suddenly changed her sassy style and began to be a little bit shy, "King Xian, as you said last time, the little girl is really willing."
last time? Li Xian looked at the enchanting Ji Caiji in front of him, and that little thought made him very interested.
"Ahem..." Xu Ren interrupted Li Xian's thoughts, "President Ji, please don't distort the meaning at will. Last time, King Xian didn't say it officially. Although you are not joking, but private inquiries are also true. Can't count.
Besides, for the time being, the virtuous king has no plans to accept a concubine. "
"Stingy!" Ji Caiji rolled Xu Ren's eyes, twisted her waist and walked away.
