Li Su put forward his own conditions.

"Tax free?"

Gao Juji pondered, this condition was simpler than he expected.

He was ready for Li Su to speak loudly, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a request?

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what harm it would do to him. Except for less tax, there seemed to be no loss.

And it is tax-free on both sides, so it seems that there is no loss on both sides.

"That's it?"

Gao Juji asked uncertainly.

"My Dagan is the kingdom of the heavens, the kingdom of etiquette.

This time, although you, Goguryeo, started the war first, but since you, Goguryeo, are my vassal state, I will not be unreasonable if I am a big cadre. "

Li Su said in a generous tone.

"Okay, I promise."

Gao Juji breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't agree with Li Su's words.

The state of etiquette?Who was threatening people with cannons just now?

Chapter 183 The Face-changing Emperor Qian

Daqian, Carrier Hall.

The officials stood in the hall, some secretly yawned, some closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Even Emperor Qian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was a little absent-minded listening to the report of the censor below.

The morning court held at five o'clock every day really tortured the hard-working monarch and ministers enough.

"Your Majesty, because of the opening of the Jingling Railway, the people of the seven prefectures along the line from Lingnan to Jingshi have benefited a lot.

The four prefectures along the southeast coast, especially Suzhou, have improved their livelihoods a lot due to the maritime trade of the Lingnan Caravan.

Danchen recently received a joint letter from the three prefectures of Liaodong, saying that the local people privately rumored that the imperial court had forgotten the people in Liaodong and only developed to the south of the capital, which caused a lot of public resentment.

If it goes on for a long time, the minister may plant disasters. "

"Absurd, whether it is the development of the seven prefectures from the south of the Lingnan to the capital, or the four prefectures along the southeast coast, it is all the work of King An.

Then why does the land of Liaodong slander the imperial court with empty teeth and forget the people of Liaodong? "

Liu Bazhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said.

For a moment, all the ministers looked at Liu Bazhai, with a look that you don't remember to eat or beat.

Zhang Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head and sighed inwardly, Old Liu was hopeless.

"A thorough investigation! The people in Liaodong are also my people, and they deserve to enjoy the dividends of my development.

You don't think about how to help the people of Liaodong improve their livelihoods, but you want to block the mouths of Youyou, how unreasonable it is! "

Emperor Qian slapped the dragon chair with his big hand, and angrily reprimanded him mercilessly.

Liu Bazhai's expression was bewildered at the moment, he didn't know why he ate again, and he shrank his head immediately, not daring to speak any more.

"Let's go back and ask Lao Zhang again, what happened to me this time, obviously speaking for the court, but why did I offend His Majesty instead?"

"The people of Liaodong have worked hard to defend the border for me. I live in a place of bitter cold. I have done a lot to make them feel sorry for them. All my loved ones discuss how to make life easier for the people of Liaodong."

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

Nowadays, the overall development of Daqian is not bad, but there is indeed a real problem of uneven development.

What Liu Bazhai said is indeed correct. The Jingling Railway and the sea trade are all thanks to the work of King An, but what you Liu Bazhai said is so straightforward, which makes Emperor Qian feel a little uncomfortable.

Besides, there is always a sense of irony in saying that.

He slapped Emperor Qian in the face several times in a row, but didn't give him a big punch on the spot, so Emperor Qian was well-bred.

"I suggest that a sum of money can be allocated from the national treasury every year to be used exclusively to improve the lives of the people in Liaodong.

Now that our country's treasury is not short of money, it must be able to afford this expense. "

Hong Wenbin, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out.

"Fart! It's true that the treasury is rich, but there are nearly a million people in Liaodong, and how many years can it be subsidized by the treasury alone?

Did they suffer from a military disaster or a flood?Need the treasury to subsidize every year for no reason?

This method is tantamount to increasing the burden on the national treasury, even if you have money, you can't waste it like this.Misleading words! "

Zheng Kun, Minister of the Household Department, retorted mercilessly.

Immediately, Hong Wenbinxun, who had just stood up and wanted to show his presence, blushed, and dared not speak again.

As the Household Minister in charge of the Dagan treasury, his power is naturally not comparable to other officials.

"I feel that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, just as Mr. Zheng said, the land of Liaodong should not be a burden to my work.

The imperial court can organize merchants to build workshops in Liaodong, open up business routes, and follow the development of Lingnan Prefecture.

I think it will take a few years to create a second Lingnan.

It not only solves the livelihood problems of the people in Liaodong, but also increases the income of our state treasury, killing two birds with one stone. "

Zhang Lian, Minister of Rites, said.

"Well, Mr. Zhang is speaking for the country, and the minister seconded it!"

Hearing that it can increase the revenue of the national treasury, Zheng Kun naturally agrees with both hands.

As the biggest miser in Dagan, he is only allowed to enter the treasury's money, but not to withdraw it.

"Report! Your Majesty, there are envoys from Silla asking to see you!"

In the middle of a heated discussion in the hall, suddenly the guards in front of the hall entered the inner room.

"Silla envoy? He must have come at this time to thank me for helping him retreat. Let him come in!"

Emperor Qian thought of it with everyone in the hall.

"Your Majesty, King Jincha's younger brother, Jin Yue, the minister of Silla, will see you."

A well-mannered middle-aged man walked into the hall and directly knelt down to pay respects.

"Don't say it, the Silla envoy is quite polite in order to express his gratitude."

"Hey, it still belongs to the royal family of Silla."

"Please, what am I going to do when your envoy comes?"

Emperor Qian said kindly.

"The minister was ordered by the king of Silla to thank Dagan for his help, retreating from Goguryeo, and the special minister came to offer..."

Jin Yue said loudly.

"Ah, it's a trivial matter, but I did it easily, and the King of Silla doesn't have to worry about it."

Emperor Qian waved his hand and said modestly.

I am also very happy that Silla is so gracious and repaying, and I still have to decline when others give me a thank you gift.

"The special minister came to present the enclosed credentials!"

Jin Yue continued.

"Gah?"

"what!"

When the words "Certificate of Credentials attached" came out, the emperors and ministers in the palace seemed to have misheard.

"What to offer?"

Emperor Qian is not sure.

"I, Silla, have already negotiated with His Royal Highness Dagan Wang An. I, Silla, are willing to attach Dagan from now on, and I am willing to work together overseas for Dagan."

Jin Yue held up the letter of credence and said loudly.

"Quickly, present it."

Emperor Qian hurriedly asked Wang Quan to take the letter of credence, and read it at a glance.

"Hahahaha! Wang Quan, fetch the Imperial Seal!"

Emperor Qian's eyes bloomed, and he hurriedly ordered Wang Quan to fetch the imperial seal.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Emperor Qian completely lost his humble appearance just now, and he stamped the national seal on the national letter cleanly and neatly.

Enclosed, what is the difference between this and expanding the territory? At this moment, Emperor Qian is afraid that it will change if it is too late.

Jin Yue stared at Emperor Qian who changed his face rapidly, looking stupid.

"Isn't the decision made by Brother Wang a bit hasty?"

Jin Yue couldn't help doubting.

……

Chapter 184

"Jin Aiqing was exhausted all the way, it was really hard work!"

At this moment, Emperor Qian looked at Jin Yue with joy in his eyes, and even when he spoke, he felt very cordial.

Although the emperor who made Jin Yue feel a little impatient, he was still very kind.

"Your Majesty, when I came here, His Highness King An also explained some things for me to convey to Your Majesty."

Jin Yue said respectfully.

"Oh, what did King An explain?"

At this moment, Emperor Qian was still immersed in the joy of expanding the territory, only then did he realize that the reason for this achievement was thanks to his sixth child.

"His Royal Highness King An Chen Bing Goguryeo border, so Goguryeo agreed to establish a free trade zone in Maxiangping on the border between Silla and Goguryeo, where the goods trade between the two sides will not be subject to tariffs."

Jinyo explained.

"FTA?"

The monarchs and ministers in the palace were all at a loss. They didn't know what was the point of Li Su building such a thing. They might as well extort more money.

"His Highness said to ask His Majesty to help contact Lingnan, and let Lingnan organize a caravan to transport all the goods produced in Lingnan to Silla."

"I also said that Goguryeo's market is far from what Lingnan can eat. If your majesty wants to make some money, you can also build some workshops in Weihaiwei.

All manufactured goods can be shipped to Maxiangping Free Trade Zone and sold to Koguryo.

If Your Majesty needs technical support, you can also contact Lingnan.

His Highness said that it is very easy for His Majesty to earn several million taels of silver every year. "

Jin Yue truthfully relayed the words to Emperor Qian according to Li Su's account.

"Your Majesty, if you follow what His Royal Highness An Wang said, the livelihood problem of the people in Liaodong will be solved!"

Emperor Qian hadn't recovered from Jin Yue's words, and was still thinking about how easy it would be to earn millions of taels, when he heard Zheng Kun say.

"What? What's the matter with the people of Liaodong?"

At this moment, Emperor Qian was in a daze, talking about his big money-making plan, which involved Liaodong again.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Wang An is willing to help build workshops, won't this give the people of Liaodong an extra livelihood?

At that time, we will invest from the treasury and build the workshop along the coast of Liaodong. Anyway, by sea, it will not be much farther than Weihaiwei.

When the workshops in Liaodong are built, the wallets of the people in Liaodong will definitely be bulging.

When the people have money, they will attract more merchants to Liaodong. This move can be said to serve multiple purposes. "
