Chapter 705: Nothing Wrong
Xu Qing's marketing method of binding Liuli to love has to be pushed further, the current market is no longer suitable for adding Liuli.
Originally, Xu Qing just wanted to make a fortune from the grassland, but in the end, he was said to be a plotter by the emperor of Chu, and a heart by the wise king.
He just wants to do business well, so what is his crime?
A Liuli wolf king only buys 500,000 taels, and the Liuli dealer doesn't make any money at all...
Really, all day long, he slandered him as a patriotic businessman.
In the next period of time, Xu Qing might be busy, because he had to spare one or two times a day to play tricks with Agula, the grassland mission.
Agula thought that the negotiation would be successful, so he negotiated very hard, but from Xu Qing's point of view, this negotiation is actually just a play.
But even playmaker Xu Qing and his impromptu negotiating mission must ensure that the steppe people see hope for an alliance and get closer to their goal.
This negotiation made the mission on the side of Chu State very upset. Although not everyone has the righteousness of family and country, but talking with the prairie that they have always called barbarians in Chu State is somewhat uncomfortable. Are you really planning to form an alliance with the grassland?
But Xu Qing doesn't care what other people think, anyway, he doesn't respond to it or even feels nothing about it, and he took the hospitality fee of 600,000 taels from others. up!
Therefore, in line with the principle of what you pay for, you get what you get, Xu Qing did his best to give Agula and his party the highest courtesy.
Finally, after today's negotiation ended, Fang Liang, the vice envoy of Honglu Temple, could no longer bear to ask: "Marquis Anding, what do you want to do? What kind of benefits did they give you? Treating a group of savages is even worse. Such a courtesy?!"
He couldn't help being annoyed. Originally, he was the minister of Honglu Temple in three provinces, six departments and nine temples. He was originally an official in charge of diplomacy. Now, whenever there are diplomatic negotiations and alliances, His Majesty actually handed over all of them to this Marquis of Anding County who has only been in the court for two years. Xu Qing, as one of the Nine Ministers, he can only submit to his deputy?
How can this make him feel balanced?
Fang Liang is not a jealous person, but the Marquis of Anding County is too overreaching, and there is a faint tendency to ostracize him as the Minister of Honghe Temple.
But thinking that the Marquis of Anding County was very rare by the officials of the six ministries, he could only hide his dissatisfaction, but seeing him chatting happily with a group of barbarians now made him annoyed.
Xu Qing comforted: "Lord Fang, please calm down."
Fang Liang snorted, "How does this make me calm? I'm afraid that the Marquis of Anding County will make people think that our Chu State is afraid of their grasslands. If it spreads to Zhou State and some subordinate countries, I'm afraid they will be ridiculed." , harm our country's prestige!"
Xu Qing said with a smile; "Then let them smile first, Master Fang, don't worry, everything is still under our control, and the good show is yet to come, Master Fang will just wait and see."
Fang Liang said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you are so obedient to the grassland mission under your control? Are you not afraid that I will go to His Majesty to read the book of Anding Hou, saying that you have harmed the prestige of the country?"
Xu Qing sighed and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Fang, please go ahead."
Xu Qing has already noticed that this minister of the Honglu Temple may have disliked him for a long time now, there is no way, who let himself rob other people's jobs, since it is useless to say so much, it is better to let him go He went, and he had to go home to play with Ning'er.
Fang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I dare not join you?!"
Xu Qing said as he went out: "Before I use adult ginseng, I might as well calm down and think carefully about the gains and losses, and ask myself whether the face or the inside is more important."
Can you rest assured that the grassland is true and false?
Don't lower your attitude, can the grassland trust you?
Really, what do you want to do if you have cheated someone with 600,000 taels?
Xu Qing can't say these things to Honglu Temple Minister. The less people who know Chu's real purpose, the better. If it is impossible to spread it, the more people who know about it, the greater the risk of exposure.
The state treasury of Chu is not rich now. In this war, the state of Chu wants to take advantage of the grassland to relax its vigilance and win the grassland quickly. Of course, it must make the grassland feel that Chu and the grassland are going to form an alliance.
If you can't even fool your own people, how can you let the enemy take it lightly?
When he came out of Honglu Temple, Xu Qing saw that Agula hadn't left yet, so he walked over and said, "Why hasn't the envoy returned yet?"
Agula said; "Naturally, I am waiting for the Marquis of Anding County here."
Xu Qing said: "The state of Chu and the grassland are brotherly states, so it doesn't matter if the envoy has something to say."
Agula said: "Presumably the Marquis of Anding County also knows that the deputy envoy of this trip is the second prince of my Grassland Khan. He has been extremely alert and handsome since he was a child..."
Xu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's not say polite words to make up the word count."
The second prince's brain is not as good as King Qi's, and he is astute?
Why didn't you blush at all when you said this?
Agula laughed dryly and said: "It's like this, the second prince is my favorite prince in the Khan Dynasty. I came to your country this time to hope to find a good relationship, and let our two families be good forever. I hope Chu and the Grassland will have a long-term alliance, advancing together and retreating together."
Originally, when he first came here, he was given a slap in the face by the state of Chu, and later became the Liuli wolf king. There was no time to talk about the marriage case. Now, with the smooth progress of the transaction between the two countries, the negotiations between the grassland and the state of Chu are getting smoother. , Agula naturally said this.
Now that what he said is very clear, it depends on how to answer it.
But thinking about it, he probably wouldn't refuse. The 600,000 taels were spent. Although it was the money to buy the Liuli Wolf King, it's not too much to give a princess, right?
Xu Qing's eyes were strange: "This..."
Seeing the hesitation on Xu Qing's face, Agula said, "Since ancient times, there are only two ways to make a long-term alliance, one is marriage, or the other is to send protons to each other, but our grassland and the Central Plains are brothers. If the covenant between the two countries uses protons as a means, I am afraid that it will damage the friendship between the two countries. After all, it is not as good as a marriage that will come naturally, and I ask the Marquis of Anding County to think carefully about it."
Xu Qing couldn't help but see King Qi's appearance in his mind when he heard Agula's words, and he murmured involuntarily: "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with sending protons to each other..."
