Chapter 594 Getting drunk (1)

The eyes of the kings of the Western Regions lit up when they heard this.

This is simply a big pie that fell from the sky!
20 taels of silver in 42 years can be reduced by 18 taels.

Although 42 is the income of their countries in the Western Regions for seven or eight years, they can still afford it, especially once electricity enters their country, whether it is sailing, maritime trade, or strengthening domestic night labor, it is very important to develop production. advantageous.

Another point can greatly improve the living conditions of the people.

If all these are counted, it can basically be said to be profitable.

Thinking of this, the originally united people in the Western Regions began to waver.

For Wu Tian, ​​he has no other choice.

In a short period of time, he can gather a lot of funds to enrich the treasury and develop Liang's economy, but in the long run, this is not worthwhile.After all, the income has been reduced by nearly one-third, and it has not lost a good reputation and is suspected of coercion.

"Your Majesty, is what you just said true?"

King Donghu stood up, bowed his hands to Wutian, stared at him and asked.

Wu Tian nodded slightly when he heard this.

King Donghu was very happy, and immediately knelt on Wutian and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to pay the 42 taels of silver, but I don't know when His Majesty will send technicians to Donghu Country to complete this matter?"

Seeing King Donghu asking, Wu Tian pondered for a while and said, "I have thought about this matter for a while. From the completion of the deployment to the final dispatch of personnel to help you build the various systems required for electricity, it will probably take a year. time."

King Donghu frowned slightly when he heard that it would take one year. One year seemed too long.

"Your Majesty, can you hurry up? To be honest, we are really interested in this electricity. If we wait until a year to start, even if it is completed, it will take two to three years, even if we can fully utilize the electricity. , it will be three years at the earliest. Many things may happen in these three years. To be honest, I really have no way to wait that long, so please forgive me and get this matter done as soon as possible. Don't worry, Your Majesty I will never deny that I promised His Majesty that I would send the money, so I will send a word of mouth to the subordinates in Donghu to start preparing the money."

Seeing that King Donghu was so anxious, Wu Tian pondered for a while.

The purpose of preparing for one year is to make sufficient preparations so that there will be no major mistakes, and it can also give Tang Long's manufacturing bureau time to rest.

It now appears that the situation is far beyond his control.

He pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since King Donghu is so anxious to want this electricity to develop his country's economy, I have to give it to him, so, whoever sends the silver to Liang State first, I will first set up electric power facilities in that country .”

Hearing this, the rulers of the rest of the bathing countries couldn't sit still. If so, they would have to be the first.The development of this electric power, whoever establishes it first, will have a preemptive advantage in future trade.

King Hami and the King of Northern Han rushed forward, knelt in front of Wutian, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have offended you just now. I hope that your Majesty will not be as knowledgeable as us. We need your Majesty's electric technology very much in our country. If Your Majesty is willing to Our two countries will establish electricity first, and the ministers are willing to pay the 42 taels of silver. In addition, all the expenses of sending envoys to our two countries will be paid by our two countries."

Donghu country has already started to attack, and they can't be left behind no matter what they say.Otherwise, if you take this wrong step, you will make more mistakes in the future!
The other kings of the Western Regions all came over, knelt down in front of Wu Tian, ​​cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, we are also willing to pay the 42 taels of silver, please Your Majesty to build electricity for our country as soon as possible!"

Both Franchette and Elizabeth felt incredible when they saw this scene.

Their identities and positions are different from those of the Western Regions. The Western Regions are all directly subordinate states of the Liang Kingdom. The rulers are kings in the Western Regions, but they are ministers here in Wutian.

The Kingdom of Farland and the Kingdom of Liang are equal and allies.

Although the English Kingdom was promised by Elizabeth as a subsidiary country of the Liang Kingdom, Wu Tian has not yet helped her take the English Kingdom back, so in a sense, Elizabeth is not yet Wu Tian's subject.

Wu Tian was secretly pleased when he saw the rulers of the countries in the Western Regions vying for power technology, and they were willing to pay 42 taels of silver.

The situation began to move in a direction favorable to Liang Guo.

"My lords, stand up. I have already understood your request. Don't worry, I will plan this matter carefully and ensure that all of you can enjoy the power technology of our Liang Kingdom on time. Now you go and apply for it. Where does the silver go to my treasury, and the rest, I will take good care of it."

The rulers of the countries in the Western Regions nodded.

Seeing that everything has been done, Wu Tian ordered the meeting to begin.

On that day, all the rulers of the countries in the Western Regions drank to their heart's content, and all the people dispersed until late at night.

Wu Tian was also a little drunk, walked to the side hall, and met Pan Jinlian and the others.

Pan Jinlian and Shanyun came to support Wu Tian, ​​Wu Tian looked at them and smirked with alcohol.

"I haven't favored you for a long time, I don't know which one of you is willing to accompany me tonight?"

All the concubines looked at Pan Jinlian, Pan Jinlian pondered for a while, and said, "Help Your Majesty to Lama Temple."

As soon as these words came out, except for Wu Tian who was already drunk and confused, the other concubines were very surprised.

Lama Temple is now the residence of Elizabeth.

The saintess understood what Pan Jinlian meant, and nodded slightly: "My sister understands what the elder sister means, but tomorrow, His Majesty will know about this matter, and he will definitely not let us go, maybe he will punish us. So the younger sister is bold here. Let me ask you a question, have you thought it through clearly?"

Pan Jinlian glanced at the saint, smiled slightly, and said: "Fourth sister, you are the one with the highest understanding here, and your worries are also very clear to the elder sister, but since the elder sister wants you to do this, naturally there is my purpose. Queen Elizabeth is a good woman, if she can become His Majesty's concubine, the entire English Kingdom will belong to the Liang Kingdom in the future. This is far more beneficial than making the English Kingdom a subsidiary state of the Liang Kingdom."

"The reason why Your Majesty didn't take Elizabeth down before was partly due to our feelings. As concubines, we can't follow His Majesty to conquer the north and south, so we can only use this method. Although it will make Your Majesty doesn't make an appointment, but there is nothing to say, if Your Majesty wants to blame you, I will be responsible for this matter alone."
