Chapter 593: Night Battle 1

"Teach Zhang Quan the 'full set' of Confucian etiquette. Prepare for Zhang Quan to enter the high-level of Ningguo.

I calculated that when Zhang Quan arrived in Ningguo, he would be the Prime Minister of more than forty countries, accumulating great honor. At that time, as long as Zhang Quan enters the court, he will reach the sky in one step.

At that time, with a little activity, Zhang Quan will surely become the prime minister of the empire and take charge of the country's reform.

And you must assist Zhang Quan to complete the reform as soon as possible. And assist Zhang Quan to offend as many people, families, masters, sects, etc. as possible. clear? "

"Let Zhang Quan become an 'only husband'?" Ning Fangfang asked.

"No!" Princess Ning Xiaolan smiled dignifiedly, beautifully, and sacredly: "Make him a saint!"

"How can this be a saint?"

Princess Ning Xiaolan smiled but stopped explaining.

…………

Under the starry night, the missions of Shang Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom came to a high mountain, and they will enter the next country tomorrow. Along the way, although there are some bumps and bumps, but the whole is still very smooth.

Especially after entering the interior of Yingzhou, because of the drought and the impact of the nuclear bomb explosion, the negotiations went smoothly.

"At this rate, we will be able to return to Zhao in ten days!" Ji Buxian stood on a high mountain and looked into the distance. Unknowingly, it has been less than half a year since he left the country of Zhao. Looking back on his experience during this period, Ji Buxian feels somewhat unreal.

After listening to Ji Buxian's words, Xu Ren just nodded slightly and looked to the side.

Yuan Yong was sorting out the information. Yuan Yong, who had always wanted to separate one side when he was in the Great Xia Kingdom, had real skills. In this negotiation, Yuan Yong was required to help in many places.

It should be said that Xu Ren is just a counselor who is proficient in strategy and understands the general direction of the Shang Kingdom's development. But in the face of political confrontation, after all, it is not as good as Yuan Yong. It was a wise choice for Li Xian to let Yuan Yong follow.

Next to him, Xuan Mingzi was also quietly watching from a distance. A considerable part of the reason for the smooth negotiation along the way came from Xuan Mingzi. To be precise, it was the matter of "Xuan Mingzi took refuge in the Kingdom of Shang".

Xuan Mingzi is the deputy head teacher of Sun Moon Wujiang, who represents Sun Moon Wujiang, and represents the way of magic. The best advertisement for Xuan Mingzi to seek refuge in the Shang Kingdom as the "Deputy Headmaster of Sun Moon Wujiang".

Finally, Xu Ren looked at a young man next to him. It was Ye Kun, the first batch of graduates of the Shang Kingdom, who seemed to be the talents prepared by the heavens for the Shang Kingdom. After special strengthening of education, it will be even better.

Along the way, Ye Kun has not been idle, but is constantly surveying and mapping the map. The main artery of the Kingdom of Shang is not only for economic considerations, but also to "manufacture a dragon vein" to absorb the luck of Yingzhou like the roots of a big tree. Naturally, Shang Kingdom is that towering tree.

Therefore, this railway needs to run through as many ground veins and dragon veins as possible.

The negotiations along the way were all centered around Ye Kun's exploration route.

While Xu Ren was checking, Ye Kun finally raised his head, "Mr. Xu, today's ley line has been planned, there is no problem, and it has been connected with the past."

Seeing this, Xu Ren couldn't help asking: "I found that during the negotiations, countries intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for our planned route and proposed changes. Will this affect the railway construction?"

Xu Ren asked the people in front of Zhao Guo, and the reason for this was to relieve Zhao Guo's worries.

It is said that although the negotiations went smoothly, countries did not fully and generously approve the railway routes passing through the country. In the planned route of railway passage, all countries will try to avoid the main land veins and dragon veins in the country.

Therefore, many sections of the railway will pass in some desolate places. In addition, countries are also using various means to intercept air transport on the railway.

In this way, Zhao Guo is naturally worried-can the expected effect be achieved? Can it bring us the expected benefits?

The railway is related to the cooperation between Zhao Guo and Shang Kingdom, and this matter is very critical.

Ye Kun raised his head, his eyes full of confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, there is nothing wrong."

Zhao Guozhong ordered Ji Buxian to speak immediately, "Is there really no problem? Can you explain?"

…………

Shang Kingdom, City Lord's Mansion, Li Xian yawned and signed.

Wan Shunde, the prime minister of the Shao Kingdom, was finally relieved to see Li Xian finally signed. This negotiation is really not easy. We talked for almost a month before and after, and Wan Shunde felt a little bit emotional when he recalled the difficulty of it—how did I persevere in such a difficult negotiation? !

In other words, a month ago, Shao Guo Prime Minister Wan Shunde came to the Shang Kingdom to negotiate with a negotiation quota of 50 million taels of gold. I want the help of Shang Kingdom to lay a solid industrial technology for Shao and promote national reform.

But the result can be imagined, and Wan Shunde himself is not sure, just holding the idea of ​​doing his best to obey the destiny.

Fifty million taels of gold is certainly a lot, but in the current negotiation, it seems insignificant. Shang Kingdom sold a set of semi-old oil refining equipment to Yue State, or a three-no product, and it could sell 200 million taels of gold!

But after the negotiation, Wan Shunde overestimated himself and underestimated Shang Kingdom. Countless think tanks in the Kingdom of Shang continued to work hard one after another, making Wan Shunde "reluctant" to let go.

Not to mention that Wan Shunde was reluctant to let go, even the emperor of Shao Kingdom was reluctant to let go.

No money to mine mines? Our Kingdom of Shang invests in the construction of a mineral resource development center. You provide taxation and policy subsidies. Do you want to do it?

We provide technology, funds, and talents, and you provide land, mines, policies, and taxes. Fifty-year contract. Fifty years later the factory will give you.

Do you want to do it?

This is a pie, a delicious, huge, but poisonous pie, but Wan Shunde really couldn't refuse. After asking Emperor Shao for instructions, the two sides started intense negotiations.

It should be said that Shao Guo's desire to introduce an industrial and commercial system coincided with a secret plan of the Shang Kingdom - the investment plan! This is an alternative expansion plan formulated by Li Xian and discussed by the top management of the Kingdom of Shang.

Compared with the war expansion that everyone hates, there is almost no resistance to commercial expansion!

This is economic expansion! And it's an economic expansion that people can't refuse! No matter how you look at it, this kind of "investment" by the Kingdom of Shang is of great benefit to the Shao country, especially when the Shao country needs to reform but has financial difficulties.

Moreover, during the negotiation, Fang Shijing, Minister of Economy of Shang Kingdom, clearly told Shao Guo’s Prime Minister Wan Shunde that there are not many opportunities. After all, Shang Kingdom’s funds are limited, and there are so many countries around us waiting for our investment. You should do it quickly. Decide. If it is late, it will be cheaper for other countries.

Under such circumstances, Wan Shunde can only bite the bullet and negotiate. In fact, Wan Shunde did not fully understand the economic strategies and investments proposed by Shang Wang Guo, and there were no people in Shao who were proficient in this area. It is conceivable how difficult this negotiation of Wan Shunde was.

Negotiating while studying; once you find out that the previous negotiating business kingdom has dug a hole, you will have to renege on it. After such a month, Wan Shunde has become an all-round expert in economics, capital operation, industry and commerce.

But even the experts were not helpless, Shao Guo itself was at a disadvantage, and during the negotiation process, Shang Kingdom was strong all the way. Not to mention the 50 million taels of gold that Shao Guo had prepared, there was not a cent left, and he also borrowed 200 million taels of gold from the bank of Shang Kingdom, and the interest rate was as high as 15%.

In addition, Shao became the first country to publicly express its support for the currency system of the Shang Kingdom, that is to say, the banknotes of the Shang Kingdom can be exchanged freely in Shao. The banknotes of the Kingdom of Shang have begun to circulate in the surrounding countries, but the country of Shao is the first to make a formal commitment.

In other words, from now on, the currency of the Kingdom of Shang began to move towards an 'international currency'.

"Great joy, the successful negotiation with Shao Guo means that we have entered the next stage of development. Come on, let's celebrate first!"

In the brightly lit City Lord's Mansion, Li Xian personally poured wine for Fang Shijing who was in charge of the negotiation. The banquet was full of jubilation.

…………

On the same night, the same bright lights on Longya Island. But here are not the lights of celebration, nor the lights of prosperity, but the lights of night battles.

On Longya Island, several homemade bomb production lines have begun to appear. Some crude machine tools started to work.

Within 20 kilometers of Longya Island, nearly 100,000 people are already busy. Everyone is working overtime.

On this land of nothing, people in disaster are racing against time to create their own future.

But at this moment, the Sky Eye detection system on Longya Island suddenly issued an alarm!
