Chapter 205 Han China and Jiangdong Friendship and Trade Treaty
"Madam Bu is already in Jiangxia County, Your Highness"

puff~
The hot wine Liu Chan just drank sprayed Zhuge Jin all over his body.

He looked at Zhuge Jin with a strange face, and said, "I, Liu Gongsi, am a decent person!"

I really think I am so beautiful!
That's my mother-in-law!
"Cough cough."

Zhuge Jin coughed and said, "Anyway, please help me Jiangdong, Your Highness. As for the substantial benefits, it is to share Xuzhou."

Share Xuzhou?

I can't reach the edge of Xuzhou.

Get out of a flying place?
Can Liu Chan eat it?

"There is Zang Ba in Xuzhou, and your lord, Marquis Wu, can't eat it."

It seems the rumors are false.

Zhuge Jin felt pity.

He had heard a lot of rumors, and he hoped that he would make Liu Gongsi submit by using a beauty trick.

Don't want
It didn't work.

"Your Highness's words are wrong. It is precisely because Zang Ba is in Xuzhou that we can take advantage of it. As far as I know, Cao Pi's son has already personally led the troops here, and Zang Bayang has violated the law. Not only did he not support Zhang Wenyuan, he even ambushed behind him, cutting off the food road. His death is in sight. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Xuzhou to seize the land of the city, is it difficult?"

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Jin with a strange expression, and asked, "Didn't Zang Ba have a covenant with Jiangdong? At the critical moment, not only will he not help, but he will make trouble?"

Zhuge Jin blushed, and said falteringly: "Why do you insult people's innocence out of nothing..."

"The dirty people are innocent? Isn't this what you, Jiangdong, are going to do next?"

Zhuge Jin blushed, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, arguing, "I am doing things in Jiangdong, how can I make it worse? If Zang Ba can beat Cao Jun, I will naturally follow the covenant! But can he beat Cao Pi led by Cao Jun? It's very difficult!"

A series of incomprehensible words, such as "never betray the covenant" and "obey the covenant", caused Liu Chan to laugh out loud: the inside and outside of the chariot was full of joyful atmosphere.

"Based on this alone, I'm sorry I can't help you win Hefei. Besides, Hefei is an important place, and it is bound to provoke a war between the two sides. I will reap the benefits. Who will benefit me more at that time, and who will I help? Isn't it that I will benefit the most?"

Hearing Liu Chan's words, Zhuge Jin became anxious at that time.

"Your Highness's words are wrong. Today's three points, against Wei is the strongest, and Jiangdong is the weakest. If Your Highness's gang is the strongest and the weakest, then Jiangdong will naturally have no chance of survival. But after Jiangdong is gone, Your Highness will have to face Wei's army alone. No matter how powerful your Highness is, there will only be one person. At that time, Cao Wei will march in multiple directions. What will His Highness do?"

Tell me about the trend?
"Since you know that Jiangdong is the weakest, why don't you do your part? After you made an alliance with me, you broke the alliance. It's the same with Ni Wei. If you don't abide by the alliance, how can I trust you?"

Zhuge Jin became anxious immediately.

"Then what does Your Highness want Jiang Dong to do before he is willing to help Jiang Dong?"

He is indeed incompetent as an envoy.

At least in front of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, he has never been able to speak against him once.

It made Jiang Dong extremely passive.

but
As long as he can persuade Liu Gongsi to come to his aid, so what if he is a little passive?
It's just that Jiangdong paid more.

Just say that I have not completed the task of envoy!
Seeing that Zhuge Jin handed over the initiative to Liu Chan, Liu Chan smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you Jiangdong."

Hearing this, Zhuge Jin was overjoyed.

He leaned forward, moved a little closer to Liu Chan, and asked, "Your Highness, please speak clearly."

"Do you know that I founded a business alliance in Jingzhou?"

Zhuge Jin nodded.

"The name of the business alliance is like thunder. I heard that the business alliance of His Highness can bring huge profits every day. I was in Jiangling a few days ago, and I was amazed at the changes in Jiangling. I am afraid that this is also the reason for the business alliance."

Business is doomed in this era.

But it is undeniable that commerce has allowed the flow of materials.

And the materials that flow will create value.

In the process of doing business, there will be consumption, and there will be profits. Serving these caravan exchanges will benefit the people along the way, and the government can get tax revenue, thereby increasing investment in agriculture and infrastructure.

With the rise of agriculture, there will be more resources available for commercial operations.

Once the infrastructure is built and the trade routes are better traveled, more caravans can be attracted to come to do business.

This is a positive feedback process.

At least for a few years, this is the case.

Only when the stock is exhausted and the caravans start to involve, then maybe the business will decline a bit.

But by that time, Jingzhou had already developed.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness is going to do when he mentions the business alliance?"

Zhuge Jin understood that the young man in front of him was a complete little fox.

I have never seen him suffer.

This time I came to talk about the business alliance because it is profitable.

It's even lucrative.

What is the benefit of the business alliance?
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but began to think.

"The Merchant Alliance and the Merchant Alliance are here to do business. If you want me, Liu Gongsi, to help you in Jiangdong, you must allow me to do business in Jiangdong."

peddler?

Zhuge Jin was stunned.

"Isn't Jingzhou Business Traveler already in Jiangdong for business?"

The beautiful porcelain and colored glaze sent from Jingzhou are also very popular among Jiangdong nobles.

"That level of business is nothing."

What is this?
That glass, an object starts with [-] yuan.

If you sell ten, you will have a million dollars, if you sell a hundred, you will have tens of millions of dollars.

What is this?
"I want to sign a business alliance with Jiangdong."

Merchant covenant?

When did even the merchants need a covenant?

"Your Highness, please clarify."

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just for the convenience of my business travelers from Jingzhou and Yizhou to enter Jiangdong for business."

Really no big deal.

It just turned Jiangdong into a dumping place for his products and an economic colony for him.

As long as the covenant is signed, Hongshang Jiangdong will not be able to collect business taxes.

of course
Liu Chan will also say, I will not take back this business tax, and it will still be used for Jiangdong.

cough cough.

I will start an education business for you!

Help Jiangdong cultivate talents.

How to say?
Do you feel moved!

of course
Whether the cultivated talents have their hearts towards him, Liu Gongsi, or their hearts towards Jiangdong.

It's hard to say about him, Liu Gongsi.

Buying and selling luxury goods, the short-term profits must be high.

But after all, the number of nobles is small, and the number of poor ghosts is still large.

If you should earn the money of the poor, you still have to earn it.

Everyone earns a little, and the sum is more.

"Let me think about it."

Seeing Liu Chan's evil smile, Zhuge Jin always felt that there was a big pit inside.

But he couldn't tell the big hole.

"Tomorrow, I will review the content of the covenant with you, and you can reply at that time."

Seeing Liu Chan thinking for him, Zhuge Jin let out a breath of foul air slowly.

Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has the style of a gentleman.

There was no rush for him to make a choice directly.

However, Liu Chan gave him time to think about it.
That was when his "Han-China-Jiangdong Treaty of Friendship and Trade" was still in the new folder.

"I'm tired from marching this time, I'm afraid Ziyu will suffer."

Marching in winter must suffer.

Zhuge Jin shook his head lightly, and said: "When I entered Wuling, I knew that His Highness had defeated the barbarians, and now he has made Wuling County submit. If Changsha can be made to obey this time, the barbarians in the four Jingnan counties will follow His Highness."

Jiangdong has been in Changsha County for many years, but he still failed to win Changsha County.

On the one hand, Jiang Dong didn't put much effort into it.

Changsha is quite rebellious, and the cost of dealing with him is too high.

Compared with the rebellious Changsha barbarians, the more barbarians in the inner mountains of Yangzhou, the easier it is to bully them.

Pick the persimmons softly.

This is also the reason why Jiangdong has occupied Changsha County for a long time, but Changsha Man is still rampant, and even entered Yangzhou to plunder the people.

"Speaking of which, some Changsha barbarians escaped into Yangzhou. At that time, my Han army may enter Yangzhou to fight. I will go to Yangzhou to eradicate Changsha barbarians for you in Jiangdong. I don't need any benefits from you. Just provide food and grass support along the way, how about it?"

"what?"

Zhuge Jin cried out in surprise.

"Your Highness. Isn't that what you said?"

Fortunately, he was still saying that His Highness has the style of an ancient gentleman.

Gentleman's wind fart!

The skin is thicker than the city wall!

Why eradicate Changsha Man for me in Jiangdong?

Didn't you want to eradicate Changsha Man?
He hurriedly refused with righteous words.

"The matter of entering Yangzhou needs to be reported to the lord. As for the provision of food and grass, the food and grass in Yuzhang County have been requisitioned twice. There is no surplus food and grass. The counties in Yuzhang County cannot provide food and grass for His Highness."

My Jiangdong was originally rich in people and food.

Why is there a lack of food until now, isn't it thanks to your kid?
Zhuge Jin looked at Liu Chan with resentment.

"Then please Ziyu send an envoy quickly, saying that I want to borrow news from Yangzhou."

Zhuge Jin nodded.

"Tomorrow, I will send envoys to Hefei together with the Commercial Covenant."

"it is good!"

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Zhuge Jin also got up slowly and said, "Your Highness, the envoy is resigning."

Stay a little longer in the chariot of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, maybe this kid will make some excessive demands again.

Out of sight, pure in heart.

He still wants to visit the lord's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang.

After Zhuge Jin left, Liu Chan immediately summoned Dong Yun.

"Your Highness summoned me here, what orders do you have?"

Liu Chan slowly told Dong Yun about the conclusion of a business alliance with Jiangdong.

After listening, Dong Yun frowned tightly.

"Your Highness, Jiangdong has a nature of being against alliances. Even if he signed a trading alliance, after the battle in Hefei, he turned his head and refused to recognize the agreement. What should I do?"

The expression on Dong Yun's face said what he meant.

He will not obey the covenant that is not good for Jiangdong.

If you help Jiangdong now, and turn around and he betrays the alliance, isn't that helping Jiangdong in vain?
"That's a bad word."

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "Jiangdong really likes to betray the alliance, but as long as I am strong enough, he will not dare to betray the alliance directly. If he does, it doesn't matter too much. In a few months, it is enough for the business alliance to make money. Besides, if he dares to betray the alliance, wouldn't he give me a chance to send troops?"

When you were weak, you could easily renege on the covenant you signed with a powerful neighbor?

The future of Manchu Qing Dynasty is not clear enough?
Break the alliance?

I hit!

Make a new covenant!

"Our military strength is strong, so why fear Jiangdong's betrayal of the alliance?"

To put it bluntly, a covenant is just a piece of paper, behind which we still have to rely on strength to speak.

Now Liu Chan's strength is stronger than Sun Quan's.

Then, you have to abide by this covenant if you want to, and you have to abide by it if you don’t want to.

Do not comply?
What greets you is war!

"Besides, now that the world is divided into three, if you don't help Jiangdong, why are you going to help Niwei?"

The world is divided into three parts, the second child and the third child can only help each other.

If the boss really swallowed the youngest, then wouldn't it be that he, Liu Chan, was attacked by the enemy?
Although Wei Guo was defeated by him several times.

But that is also within Jingzhou.

After leaving Jingzhou, like Yingchuan County, that is the hinterland of Wei State.

If you want to win the battle again, it will not be so easy.

Nanyang County is easy to take, on the one hand, because Cao Cao oppressed the people of Nanyang too much.

Collecting food and collecting people's husband Xiangyong, wanting to shed the blood of the people of Nanyang.

On the other hand, it is also because the Nanyang nobles are not powerful in Cao Wei's officialdom.

Now in the Caowei Dynasty, Yingchuan County and the clan are the absolute leaders.

Yingchuan County is the vested interest of Wei State, so
How is it possible to enter Yingchuan County and get the support of the local gentry?

This is why it is difficult for Guan Yu to go to Yingchuan County.

It's not that Guan Yu is not brave.

But the Yingchuan gentry would not stand on his side at all.

Entering Yingchuan County is equivalent to falling into the vast ocean of the people. If there is no absolute advantage in strength, otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat Yingchuan County.

This is the case in Yingchuan County.

Cao Wei now occupies most of the land in the world, and the rich land of the Central Plains is also in his hands.

Development potential?

Even if Liu Chan tried his best to build the land he occupied, it was still not as good as Cao Wei.

In the overall situation, it is still necessary to unite with Sun and reject Cao.

Although this grandson is really a fucking grandson.

I like to play tricks behind my back.

But no way.

Unless Liu Chan has absolute strength, otherwise, he still has to deal with Cao Wei with Jiang Dong.

"This"

Dong Yun thought for a while, and also agreed with Liu Chan's point of view.

"Then what are the main points to be written in this covenant?"

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said, "This business covenant must have at least thirty articles?"

Thirty articles?
Dong Yun stared and said, "Thirty articles are too many?"

If you want me to think about it, I may not be able to think it through!

"It's okay, I'll give you some ideas."

Liu Chan looked at Dong Yun with a bitter face, and said slowly:
"First, we, Han China and Jiangdong, should always maintain friendship and maintain a long-term friendship.

Second, Chinese people from our Han Dynasty entered the counties and counties east of the Yangtze River, and they were allowed to live, travel and do business in the entire territory of the territory, and their safety must be guaranteed.

Third, Chinese people in the Han Dynasty must not be prohibited from entering Jiangdong for business operations, buying and selling land, and buying and selling mines.

Fourth, in the territory of the other contracting party, no property or property may be expropriated without legal procedures and prompt payment of fair and effective compensation.

Fifth, business travel and business taxes are not allowed. The business alliance will pay tens of millions of money every year to establish schools in various places in Jiangdong to teach new knowledge.

Sixth, it is not allowed to limit the number and quantity of commodities imported by the business alliance.

Sixth, the covenant is complete, and our Han Chinese business travelers have the freedom of navigation in Jiangdong, and Jiangdong is not allowed to restrict passage.

"

Liu Chan eloquently said more than a dozen things, which made Dong Yun dumbfounded.

How is this a commercial covenant? Once the covenant is signed, won't Jiang Dong become a grandson in the future?

Or grandson in name.

"Your Highness, will Jiangdong agree to this commercial covenant?"

Liu Chan narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think he dares to agree?"

Moreover, since it is a covenant, there is still room for negotiation.

Leave room for some discounts for Jiangdong.

but
Even so, let Jiang Dong continuously transfuse him with blood, this kind of thing, he Liu Chan will definitely do.

You Jiangdong are shameless?
Then I, Liu Gongsi, am a rascal!
And when he, a rascal, is stronger than you Jiangdong rats, you really can only swallow this breath.

otherwise
Go to war?
Do you, Sun Zhongmou, have the guts?
