Chapter 909

I want money!

At this moment, everyone from the emperor to the ordinary maids in the Xuanhuang Court looked at the envoys of the Shang Dynasty in astonishment: "Don't be so disrespectful, okay?"

If you really plan a plan, the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting will still lose to you! Even for the face of the royal family, there will be big rewards.

But you are so direct, it shocks our weak hearts~~~

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting was stunned for a long time, swirled a sip of wine in his mouth several times, and swallowed it after enduring it again and again. Then the emperor smiled wryly, "Is that how direct you are in the Shang Dynasty?"

Dong Guanwu nodded naturally, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, making all the rules public and transparent is also an important element for the prosperity of the country through industry and commerce.

Only when everything is open and transparent, can this society run well, and only in this way can the most basic fairness be guaranteed. And if you don't do this, it will only make the country and society worse and worse.

If a country loses fairness, it cannot talk about health, let alone development.

We don't know anything about Confucianism, so we have to learn it. But we believe that the truth is simple. "

Truth is simple? The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting listened and was in awe. "I have been taught. Then I would like to ask, how long does it take to plan a national development strategy? How much does it cost?"

Dong Guanwu actually took out his computer and started working. "Your Majesty, in order to formulate a suitable development plan, I need to understand the politics, military, economy, people's livelihood, law, ideology, etc. of Xuanhuang Shenting; even including terrain, diplomacy, resources. This requires visiting the entire Shenting.

As for the price, it's not cheap. Our starting standard for charging is: 500,000 taels of gold per 1,000 kilometers. Your country has a radius of 20,000 li and needs..."

"Ahem..." Prime Minister Qiao Rong immediately interrupted Dong Guanwu's words, "You don't need to survey the whole country, you only need to survey a quarter of the area of ​​our country. Including the imperial capital, the north and a small area in the east. The rest of the place, We'll just check it out ourselves."

Dong Guanwu was not displeased at all, but continued: "Then it will cost 40 million taels of gold for the investigation.

The 40 million taels of gold include basic surveys, basic strategies, etc., and improvement opinions. We can guarantee that it is effective and will not be perfunctory; if it is invalid, and because of the problem of the strategy itself, we can refund, and we can even compensate for the loss caused.

A further step is to propose a national policy for industrial and commercial transformation for your country, involving various aspects such as industry and commerce, economy, and law. The price is 50 million taels of gold, and we propose a complete package.

In addition, all of the above do not include technology introduction. If you would like to purchase our technology, we have a separate quotation here. Including the basic…”

Speaking of this, Dong Guanwu sold a pass, and continued after a short pause: "Including the production technology of liquid aura, including the production of various mechanical equipment. Even including the technology of aircraft and aerospace aircraft carriers, we have clearly marked prices."

Before the words fell, the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting's eyes widened: "Really?"

"Of course it is true, I dare not deceive His Majesty. But technically... the price is a bit expensive..."

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting immediately gave a meal. Just now the other party said forty to fifty million taels of gold, but they didn't even bat an eye; now they say the price is a bit expensive, I'm afraid it's not ordinary expensive. This price may be outrageous.

If you think about it, people are originally businessmen, and businessmen are after profit; now these special businessmen are more than 60 to 70 million miles away, and they will definitely not come if they don't have absolutely huge benefits.

When the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting hesitated, Dong Guanwu said again: "Your Majesty, here is the relevant price and the preliminary demonstration of the relevant technology. Your Majesty can watch it."

Dong Guanwu took out a jade slip, and the guards immediately took the jade slip away.

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting did not inspect the jade slips on the spot, but continued the banquet.

Then everyone started talking about some more relaxed things, talking about some anecdotes, and the atmosphere was very active.

In the end, He Zhiguo suggested that a simple and open trading meeting should be held in Xuanhuang Shenting. The main purpose of this trading conference, on the one hand, is to demonstrate the strength of the supermarkets, to obtain a lot of wealth (by the way, to plunder a lot of luck), and on the other hand, to collect information about Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Before making more preparations, He Zhiguo was not going to leave Xuanhuang Shenting. The atmosphere of Xuanhuang Shenting is still good, and it also pays more attention to business, and the two sides have common topics, which is very suitable for the mission of the Shang Dynasty to enter Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting also agreed, he also wanted to see what kind of products and technologies the Shang Dynasty had, and had a deep understanding of the Shang Dynasty so that he could learn from it.

In this friendly atmosphere, and in an environment where both sides have plans, the two hit it off. The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting allowed the Shang Dynasty to hold a small exchange meeting where they docked. The time is set for tomorrow; the duration...is optional.

For the time being, He Zhiguo didn't apply for any firing. There is no rush for this matter. After the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting watched the video, he would bring it up.

Besides, the Shang Dynasty is now in the northwest suburb of the imperial capital of Xuanhuang Shenting, and the imperial palace is within the range of the cannons, so the impact of firing cannons at will is not good, really not good~~~

The banquet lasted until the sun went down to the west. He Zhiguo and others left in style; the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting summoned all the officials and was not allowed to leave.

When everyone in the Shang Dynasty left the palace, the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting's face was completely gloomy, and he didn't know where the smile just now was thrown.

The emperor looked around with a gloomy expression, and suddenly shouted: "Shangshu Yin Zhizhen!"

Yin Zhizhen stepped forward calmly, "The minister is here."

The emperor sneered: "I really don't know that the price level of Ding'an County is even higher than that of the imperial capital! An inland state capital that is not on the border and not on the main road has such a high price level?!"

But it was one of the problems Xie Yuhua pointed out just now. The emperor had already found the place where the information was recorded.

Yin Zhizhen still said calmly: "Your Majesty, although Ding'an County is not located in a major traffic route, there are six relatively large sects and families gathered in the territory. The cultivation environment is superior, and it is normal for prices to increase."

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting smiled, "Then what about this data? This property with a total of more than 70 million taels of gold can't match it. Don't say that the mouse stole the gold."

Yin Zhizhen immediately frowned: "Your Majesty, all the gold you see is gold like this."

As he spoke, Yin Zhizhen took out a small gold ingot, which was shining brightly and beautifully. The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting nodded.

Yin Zhizhen immediately took out another gold ingot and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this is gold collected from the people. Please see the difference."

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting took another gold ingot, and immediately found the difference: not only the appearance is ugly, but also there are many impurities inside.

Yin Zhizhen sighed: "Your Majesty, after all, gold is not a magic weapon or other item, and it can be changed at will. The gold recovered from the people is like this. In order not to affect your majesty's mood, and to protect the face of the empire, the household department must not Gold is not re-smelted or purified.

This is the so-called fire consumption. In fact, there is no shortage of gold, but the impurities in it have been removed. "

The anger on the face of the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting faded little by little. Suddenly, I thought of a question: "I just remembered that last year, in order to show savings to the world, I asked you to mend a damaged robe. You quoted 3,000 taels of gold for a patch? I heard that buying a new robe cost only three dollars. Five taels of silver!"

Yin Zhizhen felt quite aggrieved: "Your Majesty, in order to match the flowers, colors, and newness of your clothes, in order to make the patch not lose the royal face and reflect Your Majesty's benevolence, we cut a total of 600 bolts of silk before we found it. Then a small piece of suitable patch

To this end, 50 female workers were mobilized to work non-stop for 5 days. "

The emperor's complexion of Xuanhuang Shenting has begun to look a little constipated. With a dark face, he continued to ask: "I remember, the eggs you gave me this year seem to be 10 taels of gold each?"

Yin Zhizhen was so wronged that she wanted to cry loudly: "Your Majesty, there are strict requirements for the eggs selected for you.

First, it must be the first egg laid by a yearling hen. And all hens must be in good shape.

Secondly, hens must eat elixir and the most beautiful silkworm chrysalis; hens must not be allowed to eat worms, rotten leaves, etc.

Finally, all eggs must be selected uniformly, and the ones with the best color, the same size and well-proportioned body should be selected.

There is also cooking, to ensure that the eggs are medium-cooked, at this time the taste is the best, the nutrition is the highest, and it is the most nourishing to the human body.

After strict inspection, it can be delivered to His Majesty.

It can be said that the egg that His Majesty ate was pre-ordered a year ago, and there was a special person to supervise the whole process to ensure it was perfect.

Only His Majesty can eat such a perfect egg. "

I... the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting opened his mouth, only to feel that thousands of words are stuck in his chest and cannot be uttered. After a long time, the emperor finally roared, "Get lost!"

"Yes yes yes..." Yin Zhizhen stepped back quickly.

The emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting glanced around, full of endless anger, but he didn't know where to vent it. Finally, he sighed heavily, "I'm tired, let's stop here today."

The emperor walked towards the palace angrily.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone saw the heaviness in their eyes. The sudden appearance of the Shang Dynasty seems to have brought unknown changes to Xuanhuang Shenting.

Over the past unknown number of years, a stable vested interest class has formed within the Xuanhuang Shenting, and everyone covers up each other and lives in peace. Although the country has not become strong, it is not completely corrupt.

These officials and the interest groups in the world know very well that if the country collapses, they will get nothing. So they have indeed paid a lot for the country in many places.

It's a perfect parasitic relationship.

But the emergence of the Shang Dynasty seems to break this perfect parasitic relationship; this is something that no one can tolerate!

Among them, Yin Zhizhen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was already thinking: How can we drive away these missions from the Shang Dynasty quietly?

By the way, to spread the information, let everyone in Xuanhuang Shenting know that these bastards in the Shang Dynasty are too greedy, and even asked His Majesty for a fortune of 100 million taels of gold when they met! Say what to improve the country.

Hell, improving the country, we are Dongsheng Shenzhou, not to mention that the Shang Dynasty came from the little-known Yingzhou, it is still a small country that has been established for only ten years, and it has broken the dragon's skin. Then, first of all, the missions of the Shang Dynasty should be defined as liars.

Secondly, these news should be passed on to the surrounding countries, so that the surrounding countries can invite the Shang Dynasty missions. With such a two-phase effort, these people from the Shang Dynasty should be able to drive away soon.

After all, the people of the Shang Dynasty themselves said that they were after interests; so as long as they feel that they are not profitable here, they will naturally leave.

Finally, I have to secretly tell the "truth" to the people of the Shang Dynasty: the Confucianism you want, etc., can't be here, you have to go to the center of Yingzhou, and go to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of doing it, Yin Zhizhen immediately began to make efforts; at the same time, other vested interests also made efforts.

Although the Shang Dynasty described everything beautifully, the system and politics of the Shang Dynasty were unacceptable to the vested interests of Xuanhuang Shenting.

The legal system, equality for all, universal education, fair competition, no recognition of nobles, etc., are simply nonsense! It's all heresy!

With Yin Zhizhen taking the lead, everyone took action immediately. In the evening of that day, rumors began to spread among the people: this Shang Dynasty mission was uneasy and well-intentioned, and wanted to destabilize the country!

During dinner, the news reached He Zhiguo's ears.

"Minister He, this situation doesn't seem right." Wang Cong looked at the news in front of him, he was a bit puzzled, was his reaction too big?

He Zhiguo didn't care at all: "Normal reaction, this result has been expected. But don't care, remember our political proposition this time?"

"Only cooperate with the royal family!" Wang Cong said affirmatively.

"Yes, only cooperate with the royal family. As long as the royal family is willing to cooperate, we can trade. If the royal family is unwilling to cooperate, we will leave immediately. As for any reaction outside the royal family, we don't need to pay attention to it."

As he was speaking, the visit of Li Qiuyu and Prime Minister Qiao Rong did indeed come on behalf of the emperor of Xuanhuang Shenting. After arriving, Prime Minister Qiao Rong hadn't spoken yet, but Li Qiuyu spoke, quite mockingly.

"Hey, today I really learned a lot. It is the first time I know that the eggs that His Majesty eats are not judged by catty, but by individual!"

He Zhiguo smiled slightly, but did not answer; instead, he turned to look at Qiao Rong beside him: "I don't know why Prime Minister Qiao is here tonight?"

Qiao Rong took out a jade box from his pocket, put it gently on the table, and said slowly: "Time is running out, so I won't go around in circles.

The situation is not very good, the domestic opposition is too strong. In order not to cause domestic turmoil, you must leave Xuanhuang Shenting tomorrow morning.

However, His Majesty has read the jade slips you sent. His Majesty means:

You should have some relatively mature national transformation plans here, and we need these plans.

Also, we also like your munitions technology.

But we found that you don't seem to have a teleportation array, and there is no good storage method.

In fact, our teleportation array and storage items were also excavated from the ruins, and we slowly explored them out by ourselves. A large part of the reason why Xuanhuang Shenting is powerful is because of the teleportation array technology.

What was sent today is the teleportation array, and a pair of small teleportation arrays that can deliver notes, with an effective distance of up to 50,000 miles; but they can only transport items the size and weight of a finger.

There is also the storage method of Xuanhuang Shenting, which is also inherited from the ancient times and the era of the heyday of practice. "

He Zhiguo was taken aback for a moment, and then a surprise, an unconcealable surprise, flashed in his eyes. This time when he came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, He Zhiguo received a secret order from Li Xian: try his best to find the teleportation array technology. The fairyland is too big. If there is no teleportation array technology, even with the help of technological advantages, it will be difficult for the Shang Dynasty to realize its ambitions.

The ambition of the Shang Dynasty was to dominate Yingzhou! For this reason, he even did not hesitate to trade with Yaosheng Island and support Fertile China's technology.

Here, Qiao Rong continued: "I know that if you continue to move forward, you may also get teleportation arrays and other means from other countries, but that is possible after all. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is not as good as a hundred birds in the forest. You say, don't you? '

He Zhiguo took a deep breath: "What do you want?"

"All the technology!" Qiao Rong asked for a sky-high price.

"Impossible!" He Zhiguo insisted, "Some technologies cannot be traded. I must explain this.

Your teleportation array and storage technology are of course good, but our Shang Dynasty's liquid aura refining technology is not bad either.

And your teleportation array can only transmit information, but we don't lack the means to transmit information.

Perhaps you would say that teleportation array and other technologies are indeed excellent; but in terms of practicality, they are still insufficient at the moment. "
