King Xi Tianzhu negotiated with Li An with a tone of tentativeness. If it was not possible, he could still make some concessions. As long as he can keep the Harbor, which can bring huge benefits, the loss of less important land does not matter much. Just like the whip dynasty, in order to allow the imperial power to struggle on whilst at death’s door, it chose to cede large areas of the north that were less populated by people to obtain a temporary good day.

Land ceding is something that no ruler is willing to do, because land is the root of a country and an important asset of a country. However, if there are no hardships and there is no better solution, then land cessation is Became something that had to be done.

Especially for land that is not well-positioned, in some people ’s eyes, there is nothing wrong with ceding out. As long as you can survive the crisis and let yourself feel better, then cede.

King Xi Tianzhu’s proposal to cede the land in the northwest was considered a multi-stone project. First, the seaport in the northwest was occupied by pirates. Xi Tianzhu was not at all the actual benefits there, and was not distressed at all. Second, the northwest is close to the aggressive Aab Caliphate country, and the Great Tang is in the middle, which can avoid the Aab Caliphate country going south. It is also beneficial. Third, the current Harbor is too important. If you do not cede the land in the northwest, how to survive the immediate crisis cannot be forgiven.

Of course, this is also because Xi Tianzhu is too weak. To do things, you need to get the forgiveness of other countries. If the Great Tang is weak and Xi Tianzhu is strong, their officials can answer the domineering answer “mind your own business”

And because Xi Tianzhu is a weak country, when their officials face the Great Tang and point them at why not eliminate the pirates, they dare not say the word “mind your own business”, but can only listen religiously. Therefore, they even ceded the land in order to ask Great Tang to help them solve the immediate crisis so as not to lose more profits.

Li An frowned, looking towards King Xi Tianzhu, said curiously: “Is the governor of the west the biggest official of Xi Tianzhu? Can you decide to cede the northwest land?”

In fact, from the official Xi Tianzhu who claimed to be the governor of the west, Li An had already guessed his identity when he said he wanted to cede the land, but he didn’t make it clear, so as to avoid embarrassment if 10000 guessed wrong.

“This one……”

King Xi Tianzhu froze for a moment, opened the mouth and said: “Since Minister Li asked so, it will speak frankly. The place where the Northwest Pirates are preoccupied is too close to the country of Aab Caliphate and the land is not fertile enough. Since neither the king nor the minister liked that place, they would not object to my proposal. Minister Li can rest assured. “

“Oh, it turns out that Xi Tianzhu hadn’t planned to take that place for a long time. It’s no wonder that for so long, he didn’t send troops to recapture the lost ground. This Official understands.”

Li An’s expression of sudden enlightenment, paused, opened the mouth and said: “The Governor’s proposal is very good, as long as the pirates in the northwest are eliminated, the merchants will not suffer any more losses. This is a great thing! Great Tang has helped Xi Tianzhu so much, how much benefit can he get, is it only the Harbor in the northwest that has been occupied by pirates? Isn’t it a little bit! “

Listening to Li An saying this, King Xi Tianzhu’s heart was tight. His biggest worry was the lack of greed in Great Tang. If he asked for the current Harbor, he would be too embarrassed.

“Minister Li, what else do I need to listen to?”

King Xi Tianzhu is not stupid, of course, he will not directly speak the bottom line in his heart, but try Li An’s request.

Li An took out the map and placed it on the case, pointing to the Harbor in the northwest, opened the mouth and said: “The 50 li around Harbor is owned by Great Tang, and the mountains extending inland are also owned by Great Tang. These places Both are bordered by the Aab Caliphate country, and are all assigned to the Great Tang. The territorial requirements are so many. “

King Xi Tianzhu sighed in relief, and then said: “In addition to the territorial remuneration, what else do you want, we Xi Tianzhu is not too wealthy, and the military expenses that can be provided to Great Tang are limited.”

Li An shook his head and said, “We can find a way for military expenses without the help of Xi Tianzhu. My Great Tang wants to build the Maritime Silk Road without the cooperation of the countries along the way. You Xi Tianzhu must be in many ways. With the Great Tang, you can take a look at the simplified interview conditions here. “

After reading the Royal General document in the West Tianzhu Kingdom, not at all found which one was unacceptable, all of which were conditions of some rules and seemed insignificant.

“On these terms? I can promise you on behalf of the king, but can Great Tang promise to protect our Xitianzhu all the time? Will there be more demands?”

King Xi Tianzhu said.

Li An said resolutely: “This Official assures you that Great Tang only needs to get the Northwest Harbor, and it will not have territorial requirements for the rest of Xitianzhu, you can rest assured!”

The natural conditions of Northwest Harbor are somewhat desolate, but fortunately it is a deep water port, but the current draft of ships is generally not very deep, so there is no big difference between Harbor too deep and Harbor not at all. Advantages of deepwater port.

But this is temporary. Sooner or later, Great Tang will build 10000-ton or even 100000-ton mega-merchant ships, and these merchant ships must be docked in deep deep-water ports. Ordinary Harbor cannot be docked. The thing to do is to occupy some important places along the way and use advanced technology to build a deep-water port.

Large commercial ships have much higher self-sustaining power than small commercial ships, and do not need to stop at Harbor. Therefore, only a certain number of deep-water ports along the way are enough to meet the requirements for large and large commercial ships.

That is to say, although the Western Harbor is desolate at present, it is far inferior to the Harbor in front of it, but this desolate Harbor is a potential stock. As long as it costs a certain amount of construction, his status will far exceed this one in the future. Draught is not a big bustling Harbor.

The long-term perspective should be right. Li An is looking at the scene after ten years, not the small benefits in front of him. After ten years, when King Xi Tianzhu discovered that the Harbor in the northwest was the economic center, he would probably cry to death. .

This is the same as a small country in the later generations, that is, a small country near Malacca. With its excellent geographical location next to the Malacca Strait, a good deep-water port, and rapid economic development, the life of the 100 people is naturally very happy.

But as China developed a large number of deep-water ports, the economic status of this small country was quickly replaced, and the scale of the economy continued to shrink, and there was no place to cry.

Before, in front of Hua Xia, he was so arrogant and aloof and remote, but now he only licked his face and begged for Hua Xia, which was even more pitiful.

Li An believes that the current Harbor will repeat the same mistakes. At present, the bustling Harbor of Xi Tianzhu is a necessary place for merchant ships, so the development is very good, but the desolate Harbor in the northwest, Great Tang only needs a few years to build Time will surpass the prosperous Harbor in front of you. When the time comes, a large number of merchant ships will stop at the big port in the northwest. The Harbor business will be part of the moment. When the time comes, the development will definitely slow down.

King Xi Tianzhu could not think so far, he felt that Li An’s request was still acceptable, and lost some unimportant benefits, and thus obtained the ally of Great Tang, which was already a very good result.

“Minister Li, might as well be so! Xi Tianzhu will fully agree with the request made by Great Tang.”

The king spoke again.

Li An gladly nodded, opened the mouth and said: “In the future, Xi Tianzhu and Great Tang will be a family. Great Tang will definitely protect Xi Tianzhu, haha!”

“hahaha!”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became better, and everyone drank again.

“Minister Li, I don’t know when to send troops to conquer the northwest pirates?”

An elderly businessman asked quietly.

While hot it is necessary to strike the iron, taking advantage of this opportunity, do not urge the Great Tang soldiers to encircle and suppress the pirates, more when.

Li An hearing this, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, stood up, looked towards all businessmen, loudly said: “You, This Official has good news to tell you that this Official has sent a soldier to the Northwest a few days ago , This Official gave them the order to discover and eliminate pirates. I believe that if all goes well, the pirates in the northwest should have been eliminated. Is this good news? “

After talking a confident look towards the merchants.

“It turns out that Minister Li had intentionally killed the pirates, causing us to worry about nothing.”

“We have spent so much thought, not to let the Great Tang soldiers and horses eliminate pirates. Didn’t expect Great Tang soldiers and horses have already gone north to annihilate the enemy, which is really interesting.”

“That’s all right, with the Great Tang soldiers attacking, the pirates will certainly not be able to slam for a few days.”

“Pirates are like rabbits whose tails can’t grow. This is really a happy thing.”

Several hundred businessmen suddenly boiled. These are ten very gratifying things. The purpose of their painstaking efforts to invite Li An is to ask the Great Tang soldiers and horses to help. This is good. Great Tang soldiers and horses have already been Think of the pirate as a thorn in the eye.

Everything was deduced according to the script. Soon, a soldier came in and whispered a few words in Li An’s ear.

Li An pretended to be happy, and stood up again, opened the mouth and said: “You guys, let me tell you another piece of good news. My Great Tang soldiers and horses have defeated pirates and captured more than 100 people alive. Now, this More than 100 people are on the way back to the escort. It is estimated that they will be escorted back at noon tomorrow. How should the pirates handle this? This Official would like to hear your opinions? “

“Kill, kill those who suffered 1000 knives.”

“Pirates are bad at all and must be severely punished. They must never be let go.”

“They should be put on the gallows to hang these hateful pirates.”

“Ling Chi, these hateful pirates should be executed late.”

The businessmen are very excited, and many of them are victims. They hate pirates in their hearts. Naturally, they will not speak any words that excuse pirates. They are eager to kill pirates. Relieve their hatred.

Li An smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, looking towards side Xi Tianzhu officials, asked: “You, what do you think should be done?”

The chief of Harbor did not dare to speak, looked towards the king next to him.

At this time, the expressions of the officials of Xi Tianzhu were not very good, and their complexion was very complicated. After all, they felt that they had been put together. The Great Tang soldiers and horses had regained the Western Harbor long ago, but they were completely unaware, which was enough Show the fragility and incompetence of Xitianzhu’s intelligence system.

King Xi Tianzhu thought for a moment and immediately replied: “These pirates are bad at all, and of course they should be severely punished. Since they were caught by the Great Tang soldiers and horses, it should be handled by Minister Li.”

Li An thought King Xi Tianzhu was very sensible, he liked it, laughed, and decided: “Since this official is the master, then this official is welcome. The pirates rob the business travelers along the way. The crimes are unforgivable. The Cai Shikou, not far outside, when the time comes, This Official and Xi Tianzhu ’s officials were on the spot, how? “

After looking towards the officials of Xi Tianzhu, observe their expressions.

“Okay, okay, just do it.”

King Xi Tianzhu dared to object and quickly agreed.

The following banquet atmosphere became quite active. Li An was satisfied. The businessmen heard that the Great Tang soldiers and horses had annihilated the pirates. And Xi Tianzhu promised many favorable conditions for the businessmen. They were naturally very happy.

For those in a bad mood, only King Xi Tianzhu and his courtiers are left. They are the only party that has suffered heavy losses. The happiness of the other two parties is based on their disappointment.

After the banquet, in the enthusiastic farewell of many businessmen, Li An left the bustling street, sat in the Armoured Surveillance vehicle, and returned to the beach camp. For safety reasons, he could only live in the camp, not dare to live in the west. In the city of Tianzhu.

“Haha! Today’s harvest is very high! It’s so delightful.”

Li An smiled all the way along the way.

“Minister Li meticulously planned, how could it be unsuccessful, just that this success came too easy.”

“Isn’t this the way along the way? As long as there is Minister Li, any difficult problems can be solved. Minister Li is my lucky star of Great Tang.”

“It’s a blessing for me to be able to follow Minister Li!”

The subordinates spoke up and complimented.

Li An’s mood has suddenly become better, and it’s about to float, excited beyond description.

“This is the blessing of Your Majesty, this Official is nothing? Hahaha!”

At this critical moment, Li An always has to be humble, not too complacent, otherwise, he will bring trouble to himself.

Contrary to Li An and the others’ joy, King Xi Tianzhu threw the hat on his head heavily after he returned to the government office, and glared at Master Harbor.

Chief Harbor was so scared that he didn’t dare to catch his breath, lowering his head and waiting for it to fall.

“People are wondering! This King really didn’t think that these merchants were so easily bought by Great Tang. How dare I say that Xi Tianzhu is the biggest pirate, humiliation, extraordinary shame and humiliation!”

Xi Tianzhu officials said flustered and exasperated.
