Chapter 1225 Can Your Country Sell?
In the prime minister's residence of Shang Kingdom, Yan Ze'an looked directly at Biyuntian's Supreme Elder Feihua, and said directly: "The purpose of Shang Kingdom is very simple, that is... to explore the legendary world!
Regarding the existence of the non-imaginary world, our entire fairyland has been searching for millions of years, and now we have finally found it. "
"So, what happens after you find it?"
"We didn't think that much."
"Hey..." Elder Feihua sneered, "Yan Ze'an, Prime Minister of Shang, are you kidding me? As the Prime Minister of Shang, responsible for the lives and survival of tens of billions of people in the country, you actually told me that what you are doing A no-brainer?"
This is very rude, but Yan Ze'an smiled: "I know this is unbelievable, but sometimes it is true.
The Kingdom of Shang has only been established for more than 20 years, but the dream of looking for another world in the fairyland has lasted for tens of millions of years; the search for the realm of non-imagination has a history of millions of years. Many times, we are just following in the footsteps of our predecessors, and it doesn't matter why.
If Feihua Zhang insists on an answer, then I think the answer is—curiosity, exploration, and a pioneering spirit of never giving up!
We don't know what will happen if we completely and permanently open the realm of non-imagination, but we know that if we don't open this world, we will never be able to get out.
And this is already the case, we can only imagine what will happen in the future, and the past cannot be turned back after all. "
Elder Feihua suddenly put away his mocking smile, and looked at Yan Ze'an with serious eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time. Elder Feihua finally said solemnly, "This is a satisfactory answer. I think, I still need a few days to think about how to cooperate with Shangguo and how to communicate with Xianyu."
After a short pause, Elder Feihua Taishang continued: "There are two things I want to tell you. First, the name of Non-Imagination Realm was given by your Immortal Domain. Our real name should be called 'Phantom Spirit Realm'. It belongs to the "Spiritual Realm"; of course, some people call it "Linghuantian" or "Huanlingtian". Generally speaking, it is good to call it "Phantom World".
Second, the Phantom Spirit Realm belongs to the Great Realm Heaven, which is connected to the three thousand main worlds; oh... no one has counted the exact number, but there are many anyway.
Well, that's all for today, I'll let you know after staying for a few days. I want to see what Shangguo and Xianyu can offer us. "
After finishing speaking, everyone from Biyuntian Sect left.
Yan Ze'an shrugged, the situation was better than expected. In fact, there is one point, Elder Feihua is right, the opening of the Non-Imagination Realm (later called the Phantom Spirit Realm) is indeed not a decision made on the brain, but a decision made by Shang Guo after careful deliberation.
It can even be said that even the words just now were arranged in advance!
But sometimes, what everyone needs is not the truth, but a step, a decent step that allows both parties to get in touch.
Bi Yuntian and Elder Feihua paid attention to what the purpose of the Shang Kingdom was, but they didn't get to the bottom of it. What benefits they could bring to Bi Yuntian was what mattered most to everyone.
The passage opened suddenly, and it is a passage connecting the material world. The passage is still at the door of his house. Bi Yuntian doesn't know how happy he is.
Of course, Biyuntian is not a nice person; looking at the lineup this time, one can understand that if the Shang country is weak, it has already been occupied by force; but the Shang country is strong, so there are subsequent contacts and negotiations.
Of course, Shang Guo also understands this truth, so Yan Ze'an can't tell the truth, full of political quotes.
When Elder Feihua and his party left, Yan Ze'an was notified by the secretary that the Sanctuary negotiating mission had arrived and invited them immediately.
At this time, the Sanctuary Mission has roughly understood the attitude of the Shang Kingdom from Liu Jie: the Sanctuary is too big, and the Shang Kingdom does not intend to occupy or control it, etc., and the Shang Kingdom needs a "friendly" market!
The Shang Kingdom only needs the market, and the rest of the politics, military affairs, etc., the Shang Kingdom will not interfere at all, let alone support any puppets, etc., there is no need for that. If you have that energy, you might as well think about how to unify Yingzhou as soon as possible.
Besides, our country of Shang has now opened up the world of non-imagination/phantom spirit. There is such a good place to explore, why bother to go to the sanctuary to find trouble.
As for land cession and compensation, etc., cession of land is no longer necessary. The 500 kilometers of land that the Shang Kingdom has already occupied is enough; compensation, of course, the more the better.
After receiving such information, the Sanctuary and his party felt relieved. It seems that the main purpose of Shang Guo this time is to ask for some compensation and some favorable conditions for trade, which is much easier to handle.
After meeting in the conference room, Yan Ze'an didn't beat around the bush, and directly proposed Shang Guo's conditions.
First, the Sanctuary retreated, and the Dragon City of the Shang Kingdom regained 500 kilometers of land.
Second, sign the Sanctuary-Xianyu Brothers Covenant, and the two sides will never fight.
Thirdly, free trade. Merchants in the Shang country can trade freely in the sanctuary, just like the inside of the Shang country, and their taxation and treatment are exactly the same.
Fourth, the war losses between the Shang Kingdom and the Sanctuary are as high as 3 trillion taels of gold, and the Sanctuary needs compensation.
Fifth, the sanctuary needs to open 30 large cities as treaty ports, and the trading cities are completely "shangguo" and accept the supervision and management of the merchant country; after a hundred years, they will be completely handed over to the sanctuary.
Sixth, citizens of the Shang country who violated the law in the sanctuary cannot be tried privately. They need to be accompanied by the judges of the Shang country, and the two parties jointly try the case.
Seventh, the mercenary groups, investigation groups, archaeological teams, etc. of the Shang Kingdom can freely travel in the sanctuary.
These are the seven major rules, and there are many small regulations left. Shang Guo has carried out this kind of negotiation method many times and is very familiar with it.
But Ertu Schiller is not an idiot, and soon discovered many problems in it, and everyone immediately started discussions.
Naturally, Shang Guo will not relax. Everyone will argue hard, even if it is a word or a punctuation mark, they will discuss and quarrel repeatedly.
The negotiating team at Sanctuary was also furious:
Free trade? No, our sanctuary of arms and technology needs supervision.
Free passage for inspection groups? No, Sanctuary must send someone to follow.
Legal trial? You must follow the laws of our sanctuary!
It is possible to open treaty ports, but not large cities, and small cities can be considered.
War reparations 3 trillion taels of gold? It's ridiculous, you want us to pay for your own military expenses, don't do it!
Everyone quarreled from noon to night, and on the first day, only one agreement was reached, which was the ceasefire agreement. From now on, there will be no more wars or direct confrontations between the Shang Kingdom and the Sanctuary; Within five years, gradually remove the sky fire bombs and sky punishment bombs over the sanctuary.
Although there was only one condition, when this information was made public, it caused an uproar!
Sanctuary and Shangguo, the power between the two, is like the United States and the Soviet Union back then. In fact, no one can do anything to the other. If it is really going to be the desperate moment, it will definitely be the result of mutual losses. Now that a ceasefire agreement has been reached, this is actually a great progress in civilization.
The people of the Shang Kingdom were cheering, fighting against the huge world of Sanctuary, and the Shang Kingdom was also under tremendous pressure.
The people in the sanctuary were also cheering. The sky fire bombs, heavenly punishment bombs, and biochemical weapons displayed by the Shang Kingdom really scared the sanctuary.
The current ceasefire between the two sides is definitely a grand event worthy of celebration by the people of both sides!
That night, celebration parties were held in many places in Shangguo. The first ceasefire agreement in the history of Xianyu brought the dawn of peace to the world.
When the news spread to the sanctuary, the holy king's eyes were moist, and he praised Ertu Xile loudly for his good work, and rewarded Ertu Xile's relatives.
However, this news is good news for Sanctuary and Shang Kingdom, but for those countries that besieged Shang Kingdom, it is like a bolt from the blue!
Damn, it would be annoying enough for Sanctuary to surrender, but now Sanctuary has signed a ceasefire agreement with Shang Kingdom, and the two parties promised never to use weapons. This is really... unreasonable!
Among the many countries, Qingyun Country is probably the most feared. This country, which is still huge today, is trembling under the guns of Shang Country.
Suddenly the Minister of Foreign Affairs walked up to the emperor of Qingyun Kingdom: "Your Majesty, Yuan Yong from Shang Kingdom sent a message."
The emperor of Qingyun Kingdom nervously opened the message, but saw that the message read: Is your country still for sale?
