Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although I was a little embarrassed, the secret meeting was held again in a short time, and there were still five people participating: Guan Jia, Uncle Zhao, Father Lauren, Master and me.

    Hearing my request for leasing "ten super warships, one hundred first-class warships, one hundred second-class warships, and five hundred medium warships", Rao is the emperor and Uncle Zhao are the richest country in the world.  The people in power couldn't help but be a little stunned, and couldn't react for a while.

    Although the Song Dynasty had many ships and strong military power, it could not resist such troubles!

    "Xiaobaoyour handwritingisn't it a bit too big?"

    The emperor swallowed his saliva and said to me hesitantly.

    The Song Dynasty has three major naval fleets, which are extremely large in number, but the most elite is the Jiangnan Navy. The ship rental request I made is exactly the entire strength of the Jiangnan Navy, which is half of the strength of the Song Dynasty Navy. Whatever  No matter where you drive it, it will definitely have a crushing effect.

    No matter where I am, I only have half of my strength at most, which is enough to travel across the sea. Now that I'm asking for so much, they can't help but wonder whether I want to save people, or provoke someone, or that I want to  Hit someone.

    They are even thinking, is Xiaobao planning to conquer another country and become the emperor?

    Although the two of them are very willing to help me, it is really embarrassing to use them all as weapons of war, which they are very proud of, to bully a small foreign country.

    I explained: "We are not going to fight, we are just going to scare them. When the Japanese see the Song Dynasty's super warship, they will be so scared that they wet their pants. Do they still dare to resist?"

    The Eight Wise Kings frowned and said, "What if they want to resist?"

    "Then you should deal with those who attack the Song Dynasty Navy how you usually deal with them!" I spread my hands and said.

    "You naughty man, you are obviously taking advantage of us!" The young emperor shook his head and said, "But Xiaobao, you are really generous. For a woman, you are willing to give five million taels of gold!"

    Five million taels of gold is just the net income of two "Mengqiu Towers" for three months. Precisely because the income is so good, I can afford it.

    something.  some people.  It cannot be measured with money.

    Money is always an external thing, let alone being able to bear it, even if I can¡¯t bear it, I still have to grit my teeth and work hard.  Rescue Sister Xue.

    But I couldn't say this to the officials. I sighed with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you don't know. It's one thing that I like Yuwu Xueji, but the biggest reason is because she has helped us. Our big brother  Isn't Song's teaching about repaying kindness? I can't shrink back just because the evil enemy is too powerful. Am I still a dignified man?"

    "It's reasonable for you to bother me!" Uncle Zhao stretched out his hand and hit me. As my father-in-law, he naturally regards me as his own son now. It's normal to teach me a lesson when he is angry.

    After a pause, the Eight Wise Kings coughed again, "But Your Majesty. I think Xiaobao's proposal is good Little barbarians like Fujiwara Yorimichi don't dare to go against us. It just so happens that this year's acting  It hasn¡¯t been done yet, and Xiaobao just happened to spend money. Why not take this opportunity to send the Jiangnan Navy to Japan to promote the national prestige of our Song Dynasty, and let these little famous people know about it. Those who are getting more and more popular  The increasingly rampant pirate tactics are absolutely unfeasible under our strength!"

    "What the emperor said is not unreasonable, but what will others think of us? Bullying a small country is not very honorable, right?" This is what the young emperor is worried about.

    "Your Majesty, please allow me to say a word." Father Lauren said harmoniously from the side.

    "Oh, please speak, Mr. Lauren." The emperor also had great respect for this foreigner who was knowledgeable and knew how to grasp the core issues.

    "I know that during the Han and Tang dynasties, the Khitan people were only a very small ethnic group, roughly similar to Japan today, right?"

    "Yes."

    "It was the people in power in the Central Plains who thought they were weak and had good intentions, so they ignored them and allowed them to develop. This led to the result that they suppressed the Song Dynasty after they grew stronger today, right?  "

    "Uhyes."

    "Then again, because the nomadic people are very close to the Central Plains, although they are very wild at first, usually as time goes by, they will gradually be assimilated into the cultural customs of the Central Plains. This can also be seen from the Liao Dynasty.  Has it been verified by the country?"

    "right!"

    "Today's Japan is the Khitan tribe in the past, but they are different from the Khitan tribe.What is different about the Dan tribe is that they are isolated overseas, and their culture and customs are different from those in the Central Plains.  Once they grow stronger and invade the land, I am sure that the damage they will cause will be extremely cruel and destructive. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species In such a future expectation  Your Excellency, may I ask, Your Majesty, are you willing to let it go, or is it better to beat them every once in a while to weaken their power?  "

    "Hiss"

    The emperor and the Eight Wise Kings looked at each other and took a breath of air, "Mr. Lauren, are you taking it too seriously? This small country in Japan cannot even build ships. It is also a vassal state of our Central Plains for all dynasties. How is it possible?  Do you have such vicious thoughts and methods?"

    "People change. When the Tang Dynasty was strong in the past, didn't they beat the Khitan to pieces? Now that the Song Dynasty is weaker than the Tang Dynasty, isn't the Khitan riding on the neck of the Song Dynasty in turn?" Father Lauren  He said seriously, "I can't say too much about the specifics, but once the Song Dynasty is ten times weaker than it is now, and Japan is ten times stronger than it is now, then such a danger is still worth your consideration."

    "Besides, didn't the emperor say that pirates in Japan are too rampant, and if the navy goes out to suppress them and scare them, it will also benefit the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty." The master added next to him.

    The emperor and the Eight Wise Kings nodded slightly. Although they still disagreed, they also felt that it was necessary to give this small country that was gradually developing towards piracy a blow.

    "It's not a big deal to teach Japan a lesson. Today's Japan is like a slave of the Song Dynasty. Does the master need to educate his slaves? Do you need too many reasons?"

    The most important thing is that during this period, Master and Father Lauren had a great success in brainwashing them, making the young emperor and the pragmatic Eight Wise Kings realize that at a national level, there is no such thing as benevolence, justice and morality.  No matter how useful you are, you still need to rely on your benefits and abilities to gain a firm foothold.

    Although this idea has not completely taken root in their minds, the seeds have been planted and will eventually blossom and bear fruit one day.

    After nodding, Uncle Zhao began to talk about another issue, "However, five million taels of gold is too little. We dispatch the Jiangnan Navy to go back and forth in a month. It will cost at least two million taels of gold. The rest of the ships  It also costs too much money to repair and maintain.¡±

    I was almost scared to death, "Father-in-law, I'm not as cruel as you, right? Xiao Xingyue is not your daughter. Are you saying that you want her to go bankrupt with my debts?"

    They have heard the word "bankruptcy" a lot recently, so they naturally understand its meaning.

    "Come here!" the Eight Sage King said righteously, "This country belongs to our Zhao family. How can I abandon public service for personal reasons? Now that you have something to ask for from me, it's natural for us to make an offer."

    I couldn't satisfy his request, so I said with a sullen face: "Father-in-law, our Three Kingdoms Island is not rich. We have just fought two battles, and the pensions and rewards alone have almost made us bankrupt. If it weren't for Mengqiu,  If Lou' is holding on, I should put a bowl at your door to beg!"

    The young emperor seemed amused, but he also listened to our negotiations seriously and did not interrupt.

    "'Mengqiulou' is a hen that can lay golden eggs. You can earn two to three million gold in a month, which is simply better than our hard work in business." Uncle Zhao talked eloquently, "Let's do this.  , I won¡¯t give you any more, I¡¯ll give you five million taels of gold this year, and if you give us another five million taels next year, the deal will be considered a done deal!¡±

    "Tsk, tsk, people who don't know better think you are from a usury business Oh, what are you doing? A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything!"

    I was still complaining, but I didn¡¯t give in. ¡°Well, let¡¯s just do this. We will give you five million taels of gold next year, and you will order fifty second-class battleships for us, complete with a full set of weapons and equipment.¡±

    "You have a good idea. The cost of fifty ships is about two million. In one breath, you reduced the price by 20%. It's really impressive."

    "But father-in-law, I can never compare to you. I doubled the price in one breath."

    ""

    Uncle Zhao was so angry that he was speechless and stared at me fiercely. What he meant was that you, boy, are so disrespectful. Do you want to marry my daughter?

    I didn¡¯t show any weakness and looked back: Boss, I am living a good life, which means your daughter is living a good life, why are you so against me?

    Seeing us arguing over there, the young emperor felt very bored. He looked at his two gentlemen and raised his hand, "Okay, uncle, Xiaobao's proposal is actually good. Fujiwara Yorimichi  There is no need to give him the thirty second-class battleships. This year I will give fifteen to Xiaobao, and next year I will give him the remaining thirty-five. I am also worried about Sister Xingyue outside.Danger.  "

    They all know what I mean by asking for fifty second-class ships. Fujiwara Yorimichi and I are destined to fall out, and the Three Kingdoms Island and Japan are far away from the mainland. If we don't have the ability to protect ourselves, I'm afraid we won't wait until the Song Dynasty.  The navy came to the rescue, but we were wiped out by Fujiwara Yorimichi.

    Uncle Zhao was originally going to do it for the emperor. When the emperor agreed, he winked at me secretly and deliberately thought about it for a long time before agreeing - for someone as good at acting as he is, why don't he act like a character on the stage?  , it¡¯s really a waste.
