After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 308 Negotiations 2
After all, with Uncle Chen around, no matter how well he performed, the credit goes to Uncle Chen.

There's no way, who made Emperor Father trust Uncle Chen Huang and Uncle Zhan Huang the most!
The second prince felt that he was tricked by his brother last time, and now he was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to get involved at all.

As for the Seventh Prince, the amount of resources discussed is not his. He is not that capable of doing things under Uncle Chen's nose.

Therefore, none of these people got involved.

The emperor heard that the combination of these three people is very good, brother Chen is safe, Gu Xian can argue with his mouth, and the sixth child is best at observing people's hearts. With the three of them on hand, the negotiation should be easily won.

"Okay, it's up to you, sixth child, Gu Aiqing, I'll leave the negotiation to you."

The three of them accepted the order, and Wu Chenghou was quite unhappy at this moment, why did he think that King Chen deliberately stood up to compete with him for the errand?He usually never offended King Chen.

The next step is to discuss what to exchange with the Great Prince of Beiliang. The first thing to exchange is the horse.

Beiliang produced good horses, and the reason why fighting Beiliang was difficult had a lot to do with Beiliang's way of life and Beiliang's war horses.

Beiliang mainly lived on animal husbandry, and ordinary people had to raise herds of cattle, horses and sheep.

If their life was easier, they would wander around the border of Daxing to grab something to celebrate.

If their life is not good, they will ride to the border of Daxing with weapons and horses to grab a batch of supplies for the winter.

Their horses are good, even if the officers and soldiers on the Daxing side find the traces of these people, they will often be unable to catch up.

Moreover, it is basically impossible to wipe out the people who came and looted from Beiliang. People who live on this grassland today will be able to roll up their bedding tomorrow and move their families. Most of the land in Beiliang does not grow food. , so Daxing Kingdom has always guarded its own borders, resisting the Beiliang people when they came, but never thought of killing or conquering all the invaders, because it is not easy to manage if they grab them, and they can run away at any time Road, it is useless for you to guard an open space.

"Northern beams produce cattle and horses. They finally fell into our hands. This time we must bring more cattle and horses."

The land in the Daxing Dynasty was fertile, but there were few cattle for farming. Bringing more cattle back would definitely greatly increase productivity.

Gu Xian listened with lowered eyes from the side, and rarely interrupted. Anyway, the real discussion result will not be discussed in this hall, and his ears are enough.

Sure enough, after the morning court ended, he and Ye Hanyu Chen Wang were all left behind.

"The three of you will be in charge of this negotiation, do you have any thoughts on the items to be exchanged?" The emperor looked at Gu Xian after asking this sentence.

King Chen said: "Change horses~ Who will let other people's war horses be better!"

Gu Xian also said: "The horses must be exchanged, but Beiliang is eyeing Daxing, and will never give us more horses. The next best thing is to exchange cattle, and I heard that Beiliang is rich in iron ore, we can still trade with them. If you want some iron lumps, they are not worth much anyway, and they are reluctant to give them to the horse, so they will definitely not say anything if you want some iron lumps."

It's worthless!Like horses, iron is an important material for making weapons, and no country would be willing to exchange its own iron.

Seemingly seeing the meaning in King Chen's eyes, Gu Xian hurriedly said: "It's okay to change cattle, but our Daxing's extra cattle are worth three or forty taels, but the price of a war horse is as high as one or two hundred taels, one If he is unwilling to give ten thousand horses, he will exchange fifty thousand cows."

In short, the right to speak is on Daxing's side, can Beiliang really take advantage of it?

Emperor Chen Wang Ye Hanyu and the maidservants and eunuchs serving in the palace: ... If you want to say ruthless, it is Gu Xianrui, who wants [-] war horses from Beiliang. The shocked expression was gone!

Moreover, goddammit, one horse is exchanged for five cows, and they can agree to exchange one for one. They also want to exchange one for five. If Gu Xian said such words in front of the Beiliang envoy, the envoy would probably have to Jump up and beat someone up.

However, thinking that Gu Xian was on their side, they immediately felt at ease!
"Is ten thousand horses a little too much?"

Gu Xiandao: "Negotiation, isn't it just a lion opening its mouth, whether he will give it or not, we can talk about it slowly. As for what will happen in the end, it depends on each person's ability."

[If you can't talk about so many horses, can't I be mad at those shitty Beiliang people?Anyway, with the First Prince in hand, I'm afraid of a ball! 】

Ye Hanyu: ... His old father-in-law's style of painting is too peculiar, but as long as it is for the sake of Daxing, that's enough!
Not to mention, the emperor was a little moved when he heard what he said. If a war horse is worth a hundred taels, 100 horses are worth a million taels. Isn't the majestic Northern Liang prince worth a million taels of silver?

Anyway, his son is definitely worth the price!
Therefore, it is considered reliable to need [-] war horses.

King Chen took the initiative and said: "When the Beiliang envoy arrives, I will leave the negotiation to Mr. Gu, and this king will be responsible for sweeping the formation for you!"

The power of Gu Xian's scoundrel is really too great, it's better for the king to abdicate and let the virtuous.

Ye Hanyu thought in his heart, when the time comes, he will explore the bottom line of Beiliang and tell his father-in-law that it is good for him to play a support at the side, and try to talk as little as possible so as not to affect his father-in-law's performance!

Gu Xiandao: "Prince Chen is too polite. I feel that with the arrival of the envoys from Beiliang this time, the negotiations will be easy to settle. In the worst case, we will be wasted if the talks fail. The most important thing is to prevent them from secretly saving people. Prince Liang was rescued by them, so they don't need to take out a horse."

The emperor deeply believed that Duan Yin's reaction was so fast last time, almost as soon as Chu Heyu was arrested, Duan Yin brought people to rescue him. There is still hope to save the First Prince.

It seems that the last strategy will continue to be used.

"Gu Aiqing's words are reasonable, but Chu Heyu is locked in the palace, even if those people want to save him, it's not so easy."

Gu Xian: [Heh, if they really dare to trespass in the palace to save people, then they will directly detain the entire mission, wouldn't they be able to exchange some more cattle and horses?The more people who come, the better it is to cheat people! 】

Ye Hanyu: ...

Three days later, the Beiliang Mission did enter Beijing. There were quite a lot of people in their group. There were about 200 people including the envoys and servants. When they went to Beijing to negotiate, those who didn't know thought they were here to snatch people directly!

Fortunately, everything in the palace was properly arranged, and King Chen, who was in charge of the reception, was not at all afraid to deal with these people.
