Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 450
"So, my lords, since everyone has the desire to live a good life, when an opportunity presents itself to us, shall we hold it firmly?"

Chen Yi's voice was impassioned, and he knew that the time had come to completely convince these people.

"Commerce between the two countries, building cities, and building roads is this opportunity, and it is a huge opportunity! When the two countries establish this commercial road, I can guarantee that the national treasury of Daliao will be more than ten times what it is now."

"As for the pockets of your lords, there is no need to say much."

"At that time, not only will you be able to live a good life, everyone here will become a hero, and your name will surely remain in history and be worshiped by future generations!"

Chen Yi's words detonated the entire court like explosives, and all the courtiers talked a lot, their expressions were abnormally excited, and they were all talking about the benefits of trade.

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom also had a happy smile on his face, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Chen Yi.

He is still the omnipotent Chen Yi from before!
As for the chaos in the court at the moment, the Lord of the Liao Kingdom let it go for the time being. He knew that these disobedient ministers would change after today, and this was all due to Chen Yi.

Even though the enthusiasm of the courtiers could not be calmed down after a long time, a few relatively sensible veterans realized that this was too disrespectful to the Lord of the Liao Kingdom, so they reminded each other to be quiet.

Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Chen Yi felt extremely happy. He knew that this difficulty had been overcome.

However, there were still a few sneaky courtiers hiding in the back and throwing difficult questions at Chen Yi.

"The prospect of commerce seems very attractive, but after all, it is a matter of the future. The current problem is still the construction of cities and roads, which waste people's money and money."

"The distance between the two countries is long, and the human resources and financial resources to be spent are astronomical. Moreover, if the construction period is long, it will become a weight that hinders the development of Daliao Kingdom."

"What is Chen Shilang's opinion?"

Chen Yi took a careful look at the speaker, and kept his appearance in mind.

He looked at the Lord of Daliao Kingdom again and found that he was also frowning slightly at this moment, and the previous joy was replaced by worry.

Although the courtier who made the noise was obviously trying to embarrass Chen Yi intentionally, and it was very likely that he was a thief minister of Master Daoyi, but he had to admit that what he said was indeed reasonable, after all, the treasury of the Daliao Kingdom was not full.

Chen Yi smiled lightly. Although this problem was troublesome, he even thought of giving up the plan of trade between the two countries because of the headaches caused by the cost of building a trade road.

But he can stand here so confidently today, which shows that this problem is no longer a problem.

"My lords, do you still remember what I said before?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Chen Yi meant.

Only the leader of Daliao Kingdom suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"You mean, you have a way to establish a trade route between the two countries without wasting money and people?"

"As expected of the Lord, you are truly astute."

"That's right, that's what I want to say!"

When everyone heard what Chen Yi said, they all listened carefully, their faces full of anticipation. After all, if there is such a method, then the benefits mentioned before will also be realized.

"First of all, as a show of sincerity, Dawu Kingdom is willing to bear [-]% of the expenses, including manpower, currency, ore, etc."

"This is clearly written in the letter of credence."

The Lord of the Great Liao Kingdom also nodded when he heard this. He said that the Great Wu Kingdom is full of sincerity this time because he saw this article written in the national book. Although [-]% does not seem like much, it is actually a Astronomical figures.

"Secondly, I have already completed the construction book for this trade route and the city, and I have done field research, and found a route that saves the most manpower and is the easiest to build."

"Furthermore, our Dawu Kingdom has invested a lot of energy in inventing powerful explosives and extremely efficient road rollers. With these two magic weapons, the difficulty of road construction can be said to be greatly reduced, and the construction period can also be greatly shortened."

Everyone nodded desperately again.

"Then, I wonder if you have heard of such things as rock mud?"

The courtiers and the lord of the Daliao Kingdom were all at a loss when they heard Yanni's name, obviously they had never heard of it.

"Chen Shilang, please don't be too tight-lipped."

An impatient minister urged Chen Yi to continue.

"Haha, everyone, don't worry."

"This rock mud is a good thing. After my experiments, the rock mud that was originally as soft as ordinary mud can be mixed with a certain amount of quicklime, and then exposed to the sun, it can become extremely hard."

"I speculate that it will not be damaged for at least a hundred years. If this rock mud is used on roads and cities, then?"

Chen Yi deliberately did not continue, but he knew that everyone understood what he meant.

If this magical rock mud is used to build roads and cities, it means that there will be no need for repairs for at least a hundred years, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money.

Moreover, the most important thing is not that there is no need for repairs, but that the rock mud is originally soft.

That means they might see the smoothest road ever seen!

In this way, the travel time will be greatly shortened, and the speed of trade between the two countries will be extremely fast, and the wealth will come rolling in.

When all the courtiers once again fell into passionate and unable to extricate themselves, only the ruler of the Daliao Kingdom calmly raised a question.

"Master Envoy, may I ask how the so-called rock mud reserves are? Can it afford the construction needs of the entire commercial road? I have never heard of such a miraculous product in the Daliao Kingdom."

"My lord, don't worry, my Dawu Kingdom has already mastered the methods of exploration and collection of this rock mud. The method of searching for rock and mud is here, the ruler need not worry."

After listening to Chen Yi's words, the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom finally smiled, and the last trace of worry was gone.

"Okay, since that's the case, the Da Liao Kingdom accepts the sincerity of the Dawu Kingdom, and is willing to form a friendship with the Dawu Kingdom for generations to build a road of trade between the two countries! Do you have any comments?"

Most of the courtiers still had excited expressions on their faces and naturally had no objections. At the moment, they just wanted their king to sign a contract with Chen Yi as soon as possible.

A few courtiers were unwilling to give up, including the ministers who had previously made things difficult for Chen Yi, but they had nothing to do. After all, Chen Yi came well prepared and was perfect in all aspects.

After seeing that everyone had no opinion, the king of the Daliao Kingdom laughed happily. On the one hand, it was a matter of trade between the two countries, and on the other hand, it was rare that no minister objected to his decision.

Under the witness of everyone, Chen Yi signed a contract with the lord of the Daliao Kingdom on the construction of a commercial road between the two countries.

Then the lord of the Liao Kingdom couldn't wait to talk to Chen Yi in detail about the details of the road to trade, and pulled him into his imperial study for a private conversation.
