Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 397 Pushing the Emperor's Request

Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, Council Hall.

Yuan Gai Su Wen, Emperor Tui Gu, and Daniel, each of them brought a large group of civil servants who seemed to be wily and scheming, presumably to serve as staff officers or something, only Qin Hao didn't bring anyone with him, only a clerk was there Take meeting minutes.

They knew that Qin Hao's big move would result in a big event, but they were all at a loss as to what was going on. Although they had a rough guess, everything in the world would become uncertain once Qin Hao encountered it.No one in the world dares to say that he can understand his mind.

Qin Hao saw everyone: "Okay, everyone is here, let's have a formal meeting today. This meeting aims to reduce unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings through friendly exchanges and cooperation among all of us, and at the same time enrich the country and the people so that the common people can live together." Live a good life and let the treasury of all countries be full. Are you a good neighbor? The common people know that if neighbors are harmonious and help each other, life will be better and better. If neighbors are not at war all day long, life will not stop, right .”

As he said that, he also glanced at Yuan Gai Suwen intentionally or unintentionally.

Yuan Gai Suwen expressed his position with great sense of current affairs, saying that he would definitely be a loyal lackey of Datang in the future, and Qin Hao was very satisfied with this well-behaved attitude.

In fact, Yuan Gai Suwen didn't realize that Goryeo has been doing it for a long time. As he relied more and more on Datang, he said more and more good things, and the more Fuyu righteous men and old buddies and old brothers he killed, he himself More and more like a real Korean traitor, the bottom line, once broken through, there will be a second time, and sooner or later one day will break through to the end.

Qin Hao continued: "The meaning of Datang is very simple. We now have many sea-going ships, and it is easy to do business with each other. It is good for everyone to communicate with each other. There are trade contacts, but they are all spontaneous activities of the people. If our imperial court can do this, the scale will naturally be different, and the imperial court can also implement imperial monopoly on certain special items, which will greatly increase The court income, you say it is."

The Emperor Tuigu praised him at the right time: "But we don't have a boat. The sea is windy and the waves are rough. The boats that I can use to sail in Dongying only have a hundred or so small boats. Not to mention that they can't hold much cargo, and they are easy to capsize."

Daniel said: "The situation in Silla is better, especially in the concession, where there are all kinds of ships. In fact, the trade between the three countries is mainly carried out by the Tang people in the Silla concession."

Before he could finish speaking, Daniu saw Qin Hao's knife-like gaze swept over him, and was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and drank his tea.

Qin Hao smiled and said to Emperor Tuigu, "Datang and Dongying are brotherly states. Dongying has paid tribute to Datang continuously this year. Naturally, Datang and Dongying will support each other and move forward together. Dongying's business is about Datang. Tang's business, can these businesses be dispatched by the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tuigu, you are the oldest among us, first tell me, what do Dongying want most?"

Emperor Tuigu smiled and said: "In front of Duke Rong of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you call him an emperor? This is because the predecessors of the country were ignorant and ignorant, and they didn't know the size of the world. It has been passed down to me for more than [-] generations. , I got used to it for a while, and it's hard to change it. If Rong Guogong thinks highly of it, just like the two countries, he should also be called Queen."

"Queen Tuigu is too polite."

Emperor Tuigu was not angry, but said: "We in Dongpu, the country is small and the people are weak, and the supplies are poor. Today, we are lucky to be able to sit here with you all because there is silver in the island, but what? Although we have silver, we don't It can be smelted, let alone shipped out, and merchants in your Tang Dynasty are now spreading rumors that if you just bring a ship of junk to Dongpu, you can transport a ship of silver mines home."

Qin Hao was a little ashamed, and said embarrassedly: "The queen is joking."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Dongpu is poor. It really has nothing but silver. According to Rong Guogong, silver is not a useful thing for Dongpu. You can't eat it when you're hungry, and you can't wear it when you're cold. You can use these things in exchange for it." It’s a good thing that there are some things from the Tang Dynasty. I want everything in Dongying. I probably understand a little bit what Rong Guogong wants to say. Look at this, let me speak, Rong Guogong listen, listen Can Datang agree to our Dongpu's conditions?"

"Please speak, Queen."

"After I return to the country, I can order that the silver in Dongying will be monopolized by the imperial court in the future. I will also use military power to dig silver mines on a large scale. I can also give Datang a port and build a concession in the Tang Dynasty. On the concession , Datang can directly build a big metallurgical factory, but the efficiency of ore transportation is still too slow, Datang can collect the price of ore and ship it back in the form of silver, won't it make more money?"

When Qin Hao heard that there was such a good thing?I was also a little confused for a while. You must know that in the original history, the silver in the country of Japan began to flow out on a large scale around the Song Dynasty. It was dug up around the end of the Ming Dynasty, which once caused the deflation of the Ming Dynasty.So what was transported was ore.

Even in modern times, a silver mineral content of [-]% is considered a rich mine, let alone this feudal society?If he really opened a silver smelter in the country of Wa, Qin Hao dared to say that he would be able to clean up the silver of the country of Wa when he was alive.

Without silver, what is left of Wa Kingdom?There is no difference between this traitor, and if it is sold for hundreds of years, the wealth of more than a dozen generations of descendants will be sold out, and it is still cheap.

But the problem is that Qin Hao knows very well that Emperor Tuigu is not a fool, he is at the level of a politician, and Qin Hao can't compare to him in terms of political skills.

"Then I don't know what the Queen wants from Datang, or from the Three Kingdoms?"

Tuigu smiled and said: "It's nothing more than some common supplies. Japan's demand for spices, silk, and rare treasures from the Western Regions is not high. On the contrary, there is a great demand for some ordinary ironware and daily necessities. These things, Tang Chuan After doing business in the Duhu Mansion, you can buy it in Pyongyang without any effort at all, am I right? I do have a request, I want to ask, the concession of the Tang Dynasty can let us Dongying people also You can work in it, I want to ask, Datang is in the concession, and open another shipyard, even if it is smaller, I want to ask, Datang can accept more Tang Dynasty envoys from Dongying, every time the money is transported , by the way, I can transport some people over there."

Well, Qin Hao now understood that Queen Tuigu didn't just want to eat fish, she also wanted to learn how to fish.

If they learn metallurgy, they can melt their silver by themselves, and if they learn shipbuilding, they can start their own business. At that time, even if it is smuggled, there will be people who want it in Datang, and the country will want what Datang doesn’t want. It is impossible to collect silver at the price of cabbage.

Wa country, a sad country, because he has no integrity, every time he fails, he kneels and licks thoroughly.

But at the same time it's also a scary country because his speed and willingness to learn from the strong is really scary.
