Chapter 213 The new relationship between Song and Liao

Zhang Xiaojie was very injured. He was a genius since he was a child. His father was a high-ranking official in the Liao Dynasty. He had a smooth journey. He passed the exam at a young age. With the perverted promotion speed of the Liao Dynasty, he became a political affairs officer in just a few years.

He was young and rich, talented, and had a high position, and was loved by many people. He represented the face of the Liao Kingdom and went to the Song Dynasty to show off. As a result, people were beaten to the head of a pig.

He thought hard and thought hard, and the one he made was definitely matched by Wang Ning'an. The most annoying thing was that he met two. The first one was flattering and taking advantage of tricks, but the second one was that the Book of Songs was indeed divided into four parts, and Ya was divided into Daya and Xiaoya. Together, it happened to be Feng Yasong, which was perfect and flawless.

I heard that this kid didn’t even take the imperial examination. According to the current academic standards, it is equivalent to a preschooler. He was killed as a doctoral student at Peking University in seconds. The most annoying thing is that this kid is much younger than himself and is even more handsome than him... If you don’t let people live, is it that the education gap between Song and Liao dynasties is so big?

Zhang Xiaojie felt that his outlook on life was about to collapse... In fact, he didn't have to be so frustrated. This couplet is indeed called "absolute forever". It was just that he met a genius of eternity, which made Su Dahushou meet. It was widely circulated in later generations and made the streets smelly, and Wang Ning'an easily thought of the answer.

Of course, Su Shi’s current interest is not in the poems and songs. The writing tricks have made up for Wang Ning'an’s regrets.

In any case, the banquet for the Liao envoy was held very successfully. It was a friendly exchange and a grand event with great results. The two sides had in-depth and pleasant exchanges in a frank and warm atmosphere and fully exchanged opinions... To be honest, it was a very quarrel and there was no result.

The Liao Kingdom was still the same as before, insisting on extortion, and the Song Dynasty did not give in. After quarreling for several days, his head became big.

Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji felt exhausted and helpless.

"Why would that boy go to talk to the Liao envoy?" Pang Ji suggested.

Wen Yanbo said with a dark face: "I may have misunderstood. That boy does have some tricks. If he settles the Liao envoy again, where can we put the faces of the people?"

Pang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "No matter where you go, it is always the priority of state affairs. There are no more disputes between Song and Liao. Hebei needs to rest and recuperate. The war in Lingnan is coming soon. It is a good thing to be able to press one side... Of course, the court is on the side of the brother. You can do it and I will listen to you."

Wen Yanbo was so angry that he hummed, he listened to me, and it was obvious that he was asking me to take the blame and to take the unlucky one.

"Okay, since that's the case, let Wang Ning'an go. I want to see what he can talk about."

...

Sitting at the negotiating table, Wang Ning'an smiled. Seeing his appearance, Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Huage felt a headache, especially Zhang Xiaojie. During the last negotiation, Liu Liufu came on behalf of the Liao Kingdom, but was scolded for being so bloody.

After returning, the Liao Kingdom still looked down on Liu Liufu. Wang Ning'an was absolutely right. He still thought in his heart that he was a Han person and was not loyal to the Liao Dynasty.

Liu Liufu was demoted. After leaving the capital, Liu Liufu was frightened and could not sleep at night. He always heard someone shouting: "The relatives do not recognize them, and the relatives are betrayal... Liu... Leave...

After hearing so much, Liu Liufu actually fell into the root of his illness. He didn't take long to get terminally ill and died.

Liu Liufu was also the top scholar. He was in the front and back. When he met Wang Ning'an, Zhang Xiaojie was half short and could not even raise his momentum.

But beyond his expectations, Wang Ning'an today seemed very polite and kind, completely devoid of Feiyang's domineering aura as before.

"The special envoy of Yelu and Zhang Ci, on the Golden Palace, are related to the face of the court. I have to offend me more and apologize to you first. Besides, we should negotiate, it should be easy and then difficult. The sixteen states of Yanyun and the annual monies are still unclear, and I don't want to waste it. Let's talk about Pingxian County. Can you tell me the finals? Do you want to do it? Does the Liao Kingdom really want to trade?"

Isn't this nonsense?

Not to mention others, even Yelu Huage wore silk and jade pendants on his waist. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom were collectively sinicized, and the trend of Has and Song dynasties was prevalent. Of course, they wanted to trade, but they also knew that the Song people were too cunning and could not get any advantage in doing business with the Song Dynasty, so they wanted to make up for it more through the annual monies and get back their face. That's all.

"Mr. Wang, we want to hear what you think about trade." Yelu Huage said solemnly.

"Haha, there are two things to do business. The first is integrity, and the second is profitable. Last time, I talked about trade with Yelu Renxian and Xiao Dayou. There are many but only ideas, and recently I have improved a lot. First, I propose that we establish a fair trade committee, responsible for setting commodity guidance prices. Both sides of the committee account for half of the members. We also need to establish a trade dispute arbitration committee, which both sides send their own personnel. In addition, over the years, the trade and Liao countries in the Liao countries have been at a disadvantage. I plan to establish a trade balance office. For example, we stipulate that within one year, the total value of goods exported by the Song Dynasty from the Liao countries shall not exceed 5% of the total value of imports from the Liao countries. If it exceeds it, the Song Dynasty will send specialists to the Liao countries to purchase goods to the Liao countries to bridge the trade gap. I wonder what the two of you mean?"

Wang Ning'an mentioned earlier that he wanted to do fair trade, and asked both parties to send personnel to estimate their own prices, and not to deceive the other party. He was setting up an arbitration committee, which was nothing more than a supplement to the former and was not a new thing.

But this balanced trade office touched two people.

The biggest problem with the trade between Song and Liao was that the Song Dynasty made millions of coins every year from the Liao Kingdom, and took back all the annual monies to pay back ten times. The Liao Kingdom was full of righteous indignation for this, but there was no way to do anything about it.

Many people are worried that the trade deficit will continue to expand after the deliberation is formed, and the Liao lord is in a dilemma. He wants to extort some annual monies, just to fill the holes.

But Wang Ning'an actually proposed it and came up with a solution. It was really shocking.

"Mr. Wang, aren't you happy with us?" Yelu Huage questioned.

Wang Ning'an shook his head like a rattle, "Envoy Yelu, you might as well ask Yelu Renxian and Xiao Dayou, who I, Wang Ning'an, are the most taboo in doing business, is to eat it thoroughly. I, Wang Ning'an, have always been concerned about mutual benefit and win-win results, and will never take advantage of others."

Zhang Xiaojie also asked: "Mr. Wang, since that's the case, how are you going to balance the trade? Are you here with your money and we will sell whatever you want?"

"Hahaha, Lord Zhang was joking. There are things on both sides that they are unwilling to sell, such as your excellent war horses, our bed crossbows, fine iron, etc., which will not be involved. In addition, I have another idea. If your goods are not balanced enough for trading, we can send craftsmen to set up workshops in the territory of Liao and carry out deep processing of the products."

Another new term, Yelu Huage asked, "What does it mean?"

"It's very simple. For example, if you sell wood, you can only sell 10,000 guan. If you process it into furniture and a large bed, you can sell 30,000 guan. But you don't have a craftsman and can't make the money. We can arrange for the craftsman to go there. We both sides jointly run workshops, and our people will teach you how to produce furniture and then sell it to the Song Dynasty to make money. In this way, the trade will be balanced!"

Yelu Huage and Zhang Xiaojie both took a breath. They suddenly felt that Wang Ning'an became cute. You should know that the Song Dynasty has always been self-refined by his own skills and is reluctant to teach anyone.

If you want to get the skills of the Song Dynasty, you can only rob craftsmen. Wang Ning'an is fine. He doesn't need to rob and give it to him with both hands. Is this guy too stupid or what's going on? It's really hard to understand...

"Two messengers, not only that, at the Six Arts School... By the way, have you heard of Six Arts School?"

Zhang Xiaojie nodded, "I naturally know this. I heard that it was founded by Zuiweng. There are many well-educated scholars gathered, and I admire them very much."

"Mr. Zhang, I am going to set up a business school in Liuyi Academy to teach business. I know that your country lacks talents in business, so that you often suffer losses when doing business. You can select young people to come and study in the school. We will not be reserved and teach business knowledge to every student..."

I can't understand it, I'm really getting more and more confused...

Yelu Huage and Zhang Xiaojie never expected that Wang Ning'an would throw out big pies repeatedly and eat them all over. Balanced trade is tempting enough, and he also helped set up factories and helped cultivate talents.

"I dare to ask Lord Wang, why are you doing this?"

"For our business to continue." Wang Ning'an said without hesitation: "As the same thing, the two sides want mutual benefit and win-win results, there are many disputes, but in fact they broke out because of misunderstandings. If the two countries want to enjoy peace forever, the people on the border must understand and communicate with each other. It is far from enough to have commodity exchanges, but also technical exchanges and talent training... The market is not only a market for exchanging goods, but also a bridge connecting the two countries. We should

Play the role of a good guardian. Song and Liao have been in confrontation for too many years, and both sides have suffered heavy losses and lost too many opportunities. I still say the same thing, always keeping a close eye on the conflicts between the two sides, and always losing both sides. Talk more about cooperation, talk more about how to make money and live a good life, so that the common interests between each other will become more and more... I sincerely hope that the Song and Liao dynasties can establish a new type of relationship between major powers, without conflict, no confrontation, win-win cooperation, mutual benefit and mutual benefit..."

It is said that Wang Ning'an was going to negotiate with the two Liao envoys, and countless guards were arranged outside.

In private, some people bet on how long they can talk. Some people think it takes half an hour, some gamble for a quarter of an hour, and some say a cup of tea. Some people say that Wang Ning'an's impulse will fight when they meet.

No one could have thought that it took more than two hours to talk. After coming out, I was so close to each other, not to mention how close it was...
