Chapter 110 Renting land for 15 years (please subscribe!)
After being invited by this minister, Xiong Lingchu pretended to decline, and then other princes and ministers began to ask Xiong Lingchu again, Xiong Lingchu declined repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't stand the sincerity of the big guy, agreed to everyone, and prepared to take a temporary photo State affairs, deal with his father's affairs first, and then talk about other things.

After dealing with the affairs of King Chu Kaolie, Xiong Negchu immediately began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. It was not until June that Xiong Negchu ascended the throne and became King of Chu.

On the second day after becoming the King of Chu, Xiong Lingchu sat on the throne in the main hall of the King of Chu Palace, while the officials stood in the hall, and the envoy sent by Da Xia was also there.

This envoy is a diplomat sent by the valley camp. Of course, it is not a Daxia person from the Daxia time and space, but a diplomatic worker trained by the valley camp with people from other worlds in the past few years.

Xiong Lingchu said: "Li Yuan, Huang Xie and other rebellious thieves were eliminated, and our Great Chu Sheji was saved from the hands of thieves. The friends of Daxia have done a great job. Rewards for meritorious deeds and rewards for kindness! The widow wants to send Shen County... The land of ... is rewarded to the friends of Great Xia to show the friendship between Great Chu and Great Xia, what do you think?"

Not much!
Not long after your father was buried, you gave away the land to others. Are you not afraid that your father will jump out of the coffin in anger?

After the princes and ministers of Chu in the palace heard Xiong Lingchu's words, most of them didn't want to cede the land to the Daxia people. , First, he said to Xiong: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Looking at the person who was faster than them, it turned out to be the Great Xia envoy.

Xiong Lingchu looked at the envoy of Daxia and said with a smile: "Your envoy, why not? I have heard a saying among the people that 'the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring'. Now you have a kindness to me, and you have a kindness to Dachu." If you don't report it, the widow is not as good as the leader of the people?"

These words were not addressed to the Great Xia envoy, but to the princes and ministers of Chu in the main hall.

Daxia's envoy said: "Your Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it, but the matter of giving the land is absolutely impossible, but we are willing to lease Shen County... and other lands from Your Majesty."

The princes and ministers in the palace were very happy when they heard the envoy of Daxia say that they don’t want to give the land, and they thought, "These people from Daxia are quite decent!" What is the difference between "renting land" and "granting land"?If you rent it for a long time, won't it become yours?
Xiong negative said: "Land?"

"Of course!"

Daxia's envoy laughed and said: "Your Majesty also knows that we are in the mountains, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, which makes it very inconvenient for us to trade with other parties, so we want to lease Shen County and other places from Your Majesty for 15 years..."

The Great Xia envoy talked eloquently, talking about Daxia's land lease strategy to the princes and ministers of the Chu State. Of course, all they talked about was the benefits to the Chu State. One of the benefits attracted the princes and ministers of the Chu State. That is, Daxia will give rent, and it will be quite a lot.

Da Xia had already calculated Chu's annual tax, so he deliberately set such a price in order to impress these princes and ministers.

"To show our sincerity, we are willing to pay three years' rent in advance."

As soon as these words came out, many princes and ministers were immediately moved, and began to think in their hearts whether the deal was worthwhile.

In this era, the concept of territory is not so persistent. The Seven Kingdoms are messing with each other, and it is commonplace to cede land to make way for the city, so everyone does not think that giving up some land will damage the dignity of the country.

What's more, it's not a cession to the Daxia people, it's a lease, and they pay the rent, and the kind that pays a lot.

This matter is not negotiable!
There are also princes and ministers who want to object, but Xiong Lingchu is determined to stand on Daxia's side, and there is no use in objecting.

Besides, the princes and ministers in the hall all took Xiong Lingchu's emotions into consideration, because they all looked down on Xiong Lingchu at the beginning, and now that Xiong Lingchu became the king of Chu, this matter is clearly what Xiong Lingchu wants to do, and it is still Toutie wants to fight against Xiong Lingchu, isn't he afraid of Xiong Lingchu's revenge?
Many of them got close to young master Xiong Han back then, were they afraid that Xiong Lingchu would label them Li Yuan, Li Huan and other remnants of thieves, and then drag them out and chop them up?
In the hearts of all the princes and ministers of the Chu State, Xiong Lingchu is a ruthless person, why is this one in a position?It was his father who had just died, so he rushed into the palace and killed his brothers and brothers!
Therefore, those ministers who wanted to object just said something, and seeing that Xiong Lingchu was determined to do this, they didn't insist anymore.

Xiong Lingchu smiled, but he was actually not satisfied with this matter, because it was all under the manipulation of the Daxia people, and he felt like a puppet in the hands of the Daxia people.

But he can't resist. If he resists, the people of Daxia will reveal his secrets, and he will not be able to sit on the throne, and he has no power around him, so he has to rely on the support of the people of Daxia. Now he has turned against Daxia. It will only make him unlucky.

In fact, after Xu Minhua proposed the "Push Chu" plan, Daxia did not immediately choose Xiong Yingchu for support, but conducted investigations among the Chu royal family, and finally chose Xiong Yingchu after comparing various aspects.

Daxia had figured out Xiong negativechu's character and habits early on, and he could probably guess his views on Daxia after he ascended the throne. It is very difficult for Xiong negativechu to get out of Daxia's control!

Everyone in the command room of the valley camp laughed when they saw that the court of Chu State passed the land lease plan. A big piece of land.

The state of Chu leased Shen County and its surrounding six counties to Daxia for a period of 15 years. Daxia has multiple powers over these seven counties, such as mining, living, and stationing troops... During these 15 years , the court of the state of Chu is not allowed to intervene in the seven counties, and the state of Chu is not allowed to garrison troops in the seven counties...

The treaty was concluded, but the princes and ministers of the Chu State did not realize what it meant. In their eyes, what would be the consequences if they just cut off a small territory for 15 years?During the more than 500 years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many things to cede the land to the city.

Moreover, we don't have to abide by this treaty for 15 years. If we want to, we can take it back earlier.

Many princes and ministers of Chu State secretly poked and thought!

But the treaty has been signed, how could Da Xia do what they wished?
The 15-year lease period was set because Daxia believed that in these 15 years, Daxia would be able to cultivate enough talents to support Daxia to rule the world.

At that time, Daxia still needs to pay rent to rent the land of Chu State?Directly occupy your entire country.

The treaty signed between Daxia and Chu State is similar to the unequal treaties that Shen Yang’s previous country had signed with other countries, and the seven counties are similar to the concessions made by those countries, but the difference is that Daxia will not be in Qixian Treat Chu people differently.

"It's great that the motherland is strong!"

Shen Yang carefully read the signed treaty and spoke seriously.
