Chapter 647 Rebuilding the Silk Road

"Brother Manme, Liang Yi buried the Prime Minister!"

Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "I am Wang Ningan. I am here this time to talk to you."

As he said that, Wang Ning'an sat in front of the two of them and chose a comfortable position.

Hearing himself telling the house, both of them went crazy, and Man Mi clenched her fists.

You are Wang Ning'an!

All this is your fault. I will try my best to kill you even if I try my best! He took a step forward and wanted to take action, but Liang Yimeng, who was standing by, stopped him.

"you!"

Liang Yi buried his words, but looked up and looked not far away.

Just above the wall, dozens of crossbow arrows aimed at them. They dared to touch Wang Ning'an and shot them into hornet's nests.

"Haha, two, don't be impulsive. The country fights, you can't act with will. Just like you, you have a lot of conspiracy and tricks, and you have to plot against Mr. Wang. What's the result? Tell you, the people around the Song Dynasty are angry. The five-year-old children on the street know that you are a group of bad guys. When you grow up, you will kill into Xingqing Mansion and capture Li Liangzuo alive. Alas... I am really worried about you. If this continues, the result of Xixia will not be good!"

Liang Yima and Manma both looked very ugly.

"Grandpa Wang!" Liang Yi said loudly: "You are a hero of the world. If you have any intention, you might as well tell me it directly and get straight to the point!"

"Okay, I don't want to waste time." Wang Ning'an crossed his legs and said, "The compensation of 5 million yuan must be a child. Without this money, we cannot explain to the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Now everyone is calling for a fight, and everyone is going to fight. As a result, the court let the Western Xia go for a few dollars. Where is the face of the Song Dynasty?"

Wang Ning'an changed the subject, "But I also know that the Western Xia is poor and there is no other thing except war horses and green salt, and I cannot force one or two million people to die. So I have thought of a compromise solution. Do you want to know?"

Manme was ten thousand people who didn’t believe in Wang Ning’an. Liang Yi buried his eyes and said slightly: “Grandpa Wang, please give me some advice.”

"That's right. The Hexi Corridor is in the hands of your country. The Silk Road is broken and the trade between China and the West is isolated. The Song Dynasty has too many good things waiting for sale. There are also jewelry and spices in the Western Regions, and you want to transport them to the Song Dynasty. You, Xixia, are just in the way of transportation. If we can reach a cooperation, the goods from the Song Dynasty will be sold to the Western Regions for sale through the Western Xia, and the tolls of the goods will be shared by both parties in proportion. The money you earn will be used to pay compensation. In this way, Xixia will not have to pay with its own annual income, and the Song Dynasty can get the due compensation, which is really a killing of two birds with one stone."

After Wang Ning'an finished speaking, he smiled slightly, "This is also the last limit of the Song Dynasty. If you still don't agree, then there is no need to say that Mr. Di's men are ready. At that time, all the jades and stones are burned and blood is bleeding thousands of miles away. I really don't want to see them!"

Wang Ning'an spoke with compassion and compassion.

But Manme and Liang Yima are not stupid. Wang Ning'an proposed this plan. What kind of abacus he has to do?

Manme was older, and he knew very well that before Li Yuanhao started his rebellion, the Song Dynasty and the Dangxiang ministries still had trade. Every year, they reselled the Song Dynasty silk and tea to the Western Regions, which could bring a lot of benefits.

After Li Yuanhao made a rebellion, the Song Dynasty banned trade in the Western Xia. They didn't even use enough things themselves, let alone reselling them to the Western Regions to make profits.

When proclaiming himself emperor and founding a country, it looked very powerful, but it was like a person who knew the warmth and coldness of water. The various departments of the Party and Xiang government also paid a lot of price.

If it is true as Wang Ning'an said, it is definitely a good thing that they can open up the Silk Road and resume trade, and they can earn some money and improve their lives.

But everyone knows that in this world, the Song people are the best at doing business, and Wang Ning'an is the best among the Song people. The proposal he threw out has too many mystery hidden behind it, so you must be careful...

Seeing these two people, look at me, I look at you, look at you, with an IQ that needs recharge, Wang Ning'an simply stood up and smiled: "You can weigh the pros and cons for yourself. Within 5 days, make an idea. If you agree, the Song Dynasty will send an envoy to Xingqing Mansion and finalize the details."

Wang Ning'an walked to the door and added, "After the negotiation is completed, the iron kites can be put back. We have been staying on the Song Dynasty. Although we are kind and generous, the people below hate them too much. After a long time, there will inevitably be casualties and injuries. If we put them back, we will not be able to go to the battlefield."

The last words were so angry that the two of them were about to faint!

This is taking 800 iron kites and threatening them!

The two fell into deep thought...

"Congratulations to the master, you won the whole victory again!"

Su Baniang smiled and congratulated her, reached out to take off his coat and hung it on the shelf.

"How much is the master planning to earn?"

Wang Ning'an chuckled, "As long as Xixia nods, she can earn back two thousand miles of territory!"

Su Baniang gave her thumbs up, "The master is amazing... By the way, Jia Gong just sent a letter, hoping that our two families would get married as soon as possible. He can't wait to see the next generation and hope that four generations will live together!"

Wang Ning'an took the letter, glanced at it, and threw it aside.

"This old man has a great grandson for a long time. Even if Ning Ze has a child, he is still a member of the Wang family. What kind of family members are living together! It has nothing to do with him!"

Su Baniang smiled and said, "June Jia just said that, just get close to you!"

"Master." Su Baniang lowered her voice, "It's not a trivial matter for the Wang Jia family to get married. Ning Ze is your younger brother. You must not be weak in the name of the Wang family. You must handle it well. Be sure to be generous, otherwise, people will say we won't do anything."

Wang Ning'an hugged his knees, thought for a while, and sighed, "Damn! I'm going to have a cheap old man again! I replied to Jia Changchao, which was the Silk Road Bank mentioned at the beginning. It was already obvious. This time, as long as he took Xixia, he would have a chicken that lays a golden egg. After it was done, he could take Xixia back! Tell him to take care of himself and live a few more years, and don't let anyone with the surname Wen get the bargain!"

Seeing her husband's angry look, Su Baniang couldn't help but want to laugh. She had already thought about it in her heart, so why not forgive her? Su Baniang didn't care about that. She immediately replied to Jia Changchao on behalf of Wang Ning'an, writing very politely and humblely, asking Lao Jia to prepare for a big business to come.

...

Five days passed quickly, and Manme and Liang Yima finally nodded.

They would not be able to do it without nodding. Li Liangzuo had sent decrees in succession, demanding that the peace talks be successful. If they delayed, Xixia would not be able to hold on.

The emperor was so anxious that they couldn't do it if they didn't nod.

After the final discussion, the Song Dynasty sent Sima Guang, the Minister of Revenue, as the chief envoy, and Lu Huiqing served as deputy envoy, and went to Xixia to negotiate together.

There was also a huge team with more than one hundred people going with them.

The leaders were Wu Shicheng and Xiang Hao. They were both the first people to follow Wang Ning'an. This time they went to Xixia, which was of great importance, and they all followed them.

The momentum along the way was completely the winner.

When passing Yan'an Prefecture, Di Qing sent three thousand iron cavalry to follow the guards and went straight to Xixia. Sima Guang came to Xingqing Prefecture as an envoy for the second time.

After a few years of experience, Xingqing Mansion has almost no change, and it is still simple and dilapidated. People's expressions are filled with panic. After Lu Huiqing took a few glances, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"The pearls are covered with dust and are eclipsed. Such a good Hetao Plain is really ruined for them."

Wu Shicheng smiled faintly, "Mr. Lu, this time we are here, aren't we just going to take this pearl back?"

Lu Huiqing smiled brightly and said confidently: "My teacher has taught him for many years, so he cannot be weakened by his reputation!"

Xixia is not qualified to let the envoys be left like the Song Dynasty.

The day after arriving at Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo summoned Sima Guang and Lu Huiqing in his palace.

It is said that it is a palace, but it is not as good as the prime minister's mansion in the Song Dynasty!

After the ceremony, I quickly got to the point.

"Your country needs to compensate the Song Dynasty for 5 million knots of losses. Considering your country's financial resources, the compensation can be divided into two parts. 300,000 knots are drawn from your country's annual income every year, and the other 200,000 knots are compensated from the trade tax. If the amount of trade is sufficient and the toll collected is enough, the annual income expenditure can be reduced, and it is even possible to rely solely on toll payments."

Sima Guang just said a general idea. He had already handed over the details to Manme and Liang Yimeng, and they both gave them to Li Liangzuo.

These days, Li Liangzuo summoned important officials to study this plan carefully.

To be honest, the elites of Xixia did not see too many problems. On the contrary, they thought this plan was really good!

Originally, the Silk Road was cut off. Xixia only needed to agree to the transit of the goods and could get the toll. It was equivalent to picking it up for nothing. The benefits of picking it up for free and paying it to the Song Dynasty. It seemed that nothing was lost?

Sima Guang and the others expected that the most difficult part of the trade route was the trade route. However, they knew that this was the first to pass. The monarchs and ministers of the Xixia were all staring at the iron kites and their equipment, and demanding that the Song Dynasty must return it as soon as possible.

The vision determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the height... The economics of the monarchs and ministers of the Western Xia failed... Lu Huiqing and Sima Guang both read a deep ridicule from each other's eyes.

They remained silent and deliberately argued with Xixia. In order to make things worse, they refused to give in to each other and delayed for a month before the two sides officially signed the letter of nationality.

On that day, the Song Dynasty released 200 Iron Harrier Captives and returned their weapons and war horses.

Facing these 200 people, Li Liangzuo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!

"Wait, as long as you return all 800 people, Iron Harrier is rebuilt, my strength is restored, what a bullshit letter of the country! You don't have to care at all!" Li Liangzuo's young face was full of hideous smiles, with the cunning of a fox and the cruelty of a wolve!

This is Xixia, not the Song Dynasty!

I will not tell you about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness!

Let's take a look!

Li Liangzuo was ruthless in the palace, but he didn't know that there were many nobles from Dangxiang gathered in the inn of the Song envoy. Manme and other nobles all came. They were all very low-key, but their eyes were full of expectations.
Chapter completed!
