Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 250 Purpose, Digging a Canal

"His Royal Highness is joking. There are many mountains and rivers in our country. Every year there will be many natural disasters of different sizes." Bai Liyang took the conversation and signaled the official to step down.

"There are not a few products surrounded by mountains and rivers. It's unreasonable to find some excuses every year to make fewer offerings!" Ye Hao's voice became cold and stern, full of sarcasm.

"What His Royal Highness said is that Shenyue Kingdom is located in a bitterly cold place in the northwest. It is well known to the world, and there is really not much to offer." Baili Yang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"In that case, then Shenyue Kingdom should pay tribute to some slaves!" Ye Hao said lightly.

Su Yu was taken aback when he heard that, and looked at Ye Jing who was beside him, seeing him nodding, he didn't react immediately.It turns out that there were still slaves in this era.Slaves are different from the maids and servants around them. The status of slaves is low and they have no rights.Not only that, once they become slaves, they will be for life, unless the emperor orders them to take off their slavery.

"That's the only way to go, but this prince has to report this matter to his father." Baili Yang responded lightly.

Shi Liyu, the envoy of the Dust Kingdom, glanced at Bailiyang, and then said with a smile: "The slaves of the Shenyue Kingdom are the best among the four kingdoms. The female slaves are all beauties, and the male slaves are even more monstrous. I am ashamed of myself for this. Why not!"

Su Yan was taken aback again when he heard that, it seemed that Concubine Li belonged to Shenyue Kingdom, could it be that Shenyue Kingdom is really full of great beauties?

I don't know how the enchanting handsome man compares to Ye Jing and Ye Mohua?
Just thinking about it, a sudden pain came from her hand, she quickly turned her head to look at Ye Jing, she was about to have a seizure, but met his gaze, she immediately lowered her head in guilt.

"The Kingdom of Dust has always had a lot of rare treasures, especially the pure horses. How can our poor and small countries compare to it?" Bailiyang sneered, raising the Kingdom of Dust to a higher level, "I think this year's The tribute is also quite generous, right? I can wait to open my eyes!"

"These are limited, and there will always be a time to exhaust them." Shi Liyu smiled lightly, shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to look at the location of Yuling Kingdom, "I think Yuling is the land of outstanding people. Fertile, full of talents, this is an endless asset!"

"Master Shi is good at talking and joking, and feathers have always been named after trees." Liu Xu smiled elegantly, with both the coquettishness of a woman and the heroic spirit of a man, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Shi Liyu smiled and said: "This envoy never jokes, Yu Ling's talented woman is well-known in the four countries, just look at Prime Minister Liu, and you will know that this statement is true!"

Liu Xu pursed her lips and smiled, turned the conversation to Su Yan, and said, "I think Princess Jing is the real woman with both virtue and beauty!"

Su Yan was taken aback, she had always regarded herself as an accompanying person, and with the mentality of a bystander, she still had to react somewhat when she was called by someone at this time.

"Mr. Liu has won the award. Among the women who are known as the four beauties in the capital, I can't rank up with this concubine." Su Yan smiled modestly and said modestly, "If Master Liu meets those four, I am afraid that he will really understand what is There are people outside!"

Liu Xu's face froze slightly, and her smile also faded: "Yes, if there is a chance, I must see the four beauties of the capital!"

Su Yan also smiled and said nothing more.

After listening to Su Yu's words, Yutian's officials straightened their backs, and their expressions became even more proud.The implication of Princess Jing's words is not only to praise the four beauties of the capital, but also to insinuate that Liu Xu is short-sighted and short-sighted.Sure enough, he is a person from a small country, and he has never seen anything in the world.

Ye Hao glanced at Su Yan, glanced at several envoys, and asked: "All envoys have come to Yutian from thousands of miles, is it just for paying tribute at the end of the year?"

Bailiyang glanced at Liu Xu and Shi Liyu, seeing the two nodding, his expression faded from the previous joke, and he said seriously: "There is very little trade between the Three Kingdoms and the Celestial Dynasty, just because the traffic is very inconvenient. With the three countries combined, I want to trade in the Four Kingdoms." Open the Grand Canal between the two countries and make some contributions to the trade and commerce of the four countries!"

"Isn't there the Lijiang River? Besides, Mr. Hua is also responsible for foreign trade matters. Do all countries have opinions?" Ye Hao asked in a deep voice.

"That's not the case." Bailiyang explained, "Although the Lijiang River is an important waterway, the wind and waves on the river are too strong, which is really not suitable for merchant ships. Moreover, Hua Shizi has always monopolized all the important roads in the business world, and I am afraid that he will not be able to complete more Much demand."

Ye Hao frowned, and looked at Emperor Hui with a questioning look.

Emperor Hui's expression was flat, and he glanced at the Three Kingdoms lightly, without expressing his position, nor could he see what the emperor was thinking.

Ye Huan curled his lips into a smile, and spoke slowly, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere of the hall: "Just now the Ninth Prince said that the decision made by combining the three kingdoms seems to be very similar to each other!"

Bailiyang was taken aback, his face showed a bit of panic, and he quickly smiled and said: "The fifth prince is joking, the Three Kingdoms have formal diplomatic relations."

"The Ninth Prince said so, so I naturally have to believe it." Ye Huan smiled lightly, "But this matter is a matter of people's livelihood, and it cannot be decided in a few words."

"That's right!" Emperor Hui said at the right time, his voice was loud and deep, echoing in the hall, "Let me consider this matter, and I will read the letters of credence handed over by the envoys later. I am not feeling well today, so I will take a rest first. From now on, the crown prince will entertain everyone for me!"

"Yes!" Ye Hao stood up, with a smug smile on his lips, raised his eyebrows, and brushed his robe to salute, "I respectfully send my father off!"

"Send off Your Majesty Yutian!" All the envoys saluted.

After seeing off the emperor, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little more relaxed, and it was very lively as they exchanged cups and cups.

Su Yu looked at Ye Jing, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Let's leave later." The banquet in ancient times is really boring, sitting for hours makes you feel uncomfortable.

Ye Jing nodded: "Okay."

Su Yan curled his lips, picked up a few slices of oranges on the table, and ate them bored.Ye Mohua did not attend today's banquet, he is not interested in these.However, the suggestion put forward by the Three Kingdoms is beneficial to the country and the people, Ye Mohua should support it, it is only good for his business.

Shi Liyu picked up a glass of wine, walked up to Ye Hao, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, my crown prince wants to marry a Princess Yutian, does your Highness think this can be done?"

Ye Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know this palace, Master Shi may have asked the wrong person."

Bai Liyang answered with a smile: "Yes, Lord Shi, you should ask His Majesty Yutian just now. But as far as I know, Yutian only has one princess of the right age, and that is His Majesty Yutian's favorite!"

Ye Hao nodded, and said lightly: "What the Ninth Prince said is very true. Princess Lingxue is the treasure of my father's heart. If you want to ask to marry the princess of our dynasty, the prince of Chen Kingdom must show some sincerity!"

Shi Liyu's face was a bit ugly, and he said modestly: "It's the official who is being rude."
