Chapter 19 The Queen Mother is immortal (19)

After another month, Bai Shengcai received replies one after another. She was a little confused at first, but then she figured it out and felt speechless because she had received a lot of money, but they all said that the money was sent to her directly.

Don't take shares and ensure active cooperation.

The Chamber of Commerce will definitely open the door to them.

All told, she received a total of more than 60 million yuan, as well as specialties from various places. However, only two people responded that they were willing to cooperate with the chamber of commerce, one was Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu, and the other was Jiaodong Wang Liu Ji.

It seemed as if what she sent was not a cooperation agreement.

It's like a blackmail note.

The reason why Bai Sheng was able to figure it out was thanks to the cronies sent by Liu Pengzu and Liu Ji. Those two guys secretly asked Bai Sheng's cronies who the Empress Dowager preferred to succeed the throne. If They are willing to support the whole country in all actions of the Queen Mother, without any complaints, etc.

They have already said it so straightforwardly. Even though Bai Sheng has no political acumen, he knows that they must be thinking wrong!
  In terms of feelings, they all thought that it was false that they wanted to jointly do business, and that it was true to depose the emperor. Those who were unwilling to cooperate did not have this idea, or did not want to get involved in the matter. Of course, those who were willing to cooperate had this idea and were very positive.

It was the first time that Bai Sheng realized that every move he made was meaningful to others.

It can even be analyzed carefully for reading comprehension.

But with all her conscience, she really just wanted to do something she wanted to do in the literal sense. If she had known this, she shouldn't have messed around, and she could have done it alone.

The trouble is a little more troublesome.

But at least others won't think blindly.

At this time, Bai Sheng not only sent people to Liu Pengzu and Liu Ji's cronies to express that he had no intention of doing so, but also told them not to think nonsense and to rest assured about business cooperation.

There is no other way.

You even have to keep it a secret for them.

After all, this matter is going to spread. Even if they do nothing but have this idea, it is still a serious crime.

It's easy to get killed by random excuses.

After all, he is his own grandson, and this incident also happened because of her. He can't just ignore it like fishing law enforcement and just cover it up for them.

At the same time, Emperor Jianyuan was quite happy.

After all, he suddenly received a bunch of gifts from his brothers. At the same time, these gifts also meant that they were unwilling to get involved in the plans of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so they could barely keep their peace. How could he be unhappy?
  And this undoubtedly means that in this game between him and the Empress Dowager, his side clearly has the upper hand.

The princes and kings of the clan are also more optimistic about him.

Just at this time, the Huns came to ask for peace. Only a few people in the court wanted to refuse and start a war with the Huns. Most people believed that the Huns moved around and had no fixed residence, making it difficult to check and balance. Their armies traveled thousands of miles to compete with them, and their troops were exhausted. , it is better to get married.

This matter is obviously not a trivial matter.

This is something that needs to be reported to the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Jianyuan, who wanted to know more about the emperor's grandmother's attitude towards the Huns, immediately announced that he would temporarily suspend the court, and then went to Changxin Palace with the bamboo slips recording the opinions of the officials.

While meeting Bai Sheng, he told the relevant situation.

"The Huns and our dynasty have a deep hatred. They invaded on a large scale during the reign of Emperor Wen, and they also invaded the border many times after that. Therefore, we must fight, but we must be prepared for how and when to fight. We must fight a sure-win battle. .

Otherwise, not only will the soldiers and civilians suffer heavy casualties.

Compensation for marriage is still indispensable.

So, is Your Majesty sure of victory? "

Bai Sheng was first sure that the Xiongnu would attack this point, but then he asked Emperor Jianyuan if he was sure of victory.

Emperor Jianyuan remained silent, he had no confidence.

If they could really crush the Huns and were sure of their victory, then there would be no discussion in the court about whether to fight or not, and whether to make peace or not, let alone the number of officials who agreed to make peace far exceed the number of officials who wanted to go to war.

The core of this situation is that. They have no guarantee of victory.

It’s not that victory is guaranteed, but that victory is not guaranteed.

From the founding of the country to the present, the best result of their war with the Huns is to drive the Huns out at the expense of their own losses, and then negotiate for peace.

The Huns never suffered any serious losses.

In this case, how can we be sure of victory?

So after being entangled for a long time, Emperor Jianyuan could only shake his head with an ugly expression, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Can I just continue to be humiliated and make love?"

"In fact, since Emperor Wen, your imperial grandfather has wanted to launch an army against the Xiongnu. It was precisely because the relevant plans were known to the Xiongnu that Laoshang Shanyu, the son of Maodun Chanyu, brazenly invaded with 140,000 cavalry, and the people were killed and injured. The Huns' patrolling and reconnaissance cavalry even reached Ganquan and approached Chang'an. Later, the court spent a lot of money and the Huns retreated after enough plunder before negotiating a peace.

Alas, the so-called marriage is just a last resort, so we can only spend money to buy peace, and it is not actually peace. The Huns will still invade and plunder on a small scale from time to time.

This is true even if the mutual market is opened.

After all, transactions can never be snatched up quickly. "

Bai Sheng looked down on Heqin before, but after having a deeper understanding of the current situation and the strength of the Xiongnu.

But I have to sigh.

It is indeed a last resort.

Moreover, Daqian was not really willing to give money to his relatives all the time. They also made efforts. For example, Emperors Wen and Jing both worked hard to improve their own strength and eliminate internal hidden dangers, that is, the power of princes and kings.

At the same time, they also used marriage and marriage transactions to penetrate into the Huns.

Draw maps, find out your whereabouts, and more.

It can be said that in the decades before this, Daqian had actually been working hard and making preparations. They were always ready for revenge. They were two completely different concepts from Song Dynasty, which relied on the surrender of Sui coins to protect its country.

Doing this is at best a desperate act.

"Let's continue the peace talks, but there's no need for a marriage, just send some money and relax the terms of mutual trade.

This time the Ai family will also get involved.

The Ai family is going to send people there to buy unlimited amounts of wool at three cents per pound, as much as they want. In addition, the Ai family has also prepared a batch of refined salt, rock sugar, porcelain and tea, which can be sold to the Xiongnu. Exchange some livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses for sale.

Soaps and the like can also be sold to them at high prices. "

Bai Sheng was not idle during this period. She basically asked craftsmen to make some things that were not very technical but required some skills. It just so happened that there was a lack of oils for making soap and skin care products, and cotton was not known to be used. Well, buy more wool. The lanolin washed from the wool can be made into soaps and other products, and the clean wool can be spun into wool thread.

It’s simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

In fact, marriage does not just mean marrying a princess or marrying a clan daughter. What the Huns want is not a woman. What they want is money and things. In essence, they want to give money and things and women to seek peace, but they can give it away. It would sound better to say that the money and goods were taken as a dowry.

Moreover, in the past, it was not necessary to marry a daughter of the clan every time you got married. Sometimes, you could simply give some money and gifts.

The so-called marriage of the Xiongnu.

In fact, it’s almost the same as coming here to ask for protection money.

Although Bai Sheng didn't really want peace talks at this time, she had just arrived and was basically unprepared. At the same time, Wei Qing was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and Huo Qubing was only about five years old. Apart from these two, Bai Sheng really didn't remember him. Who can defeat the Xiongnu? After all, after the death of Wei and Huo, they conquered the Xiongnu again, and they were basically defeated.

Li Ling, Li Guangli and others also surrendered to the Huns.

Even if you want to rely on the power of science and technology to crush the Huns, you have to let Bai Shenggou develop for a few years!
  So she can only support peace talks.

　I was delayed by something in the morning and couldn't make it in time, so I moved the morning update to the afternoon.
