key to come

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to ask for food." Shen Lang said: "Isn't your people unable to support it? Send it to Dazhou, and Dazhou to raise it. Whether it's building the Great Wall, building canals, or serving as soldiers to fight , can be exchanged for a full meal."

"They don't want to leave their home, they don't want to leave their country..."

"Oh, that's fine, then why don't you give up Lelang County and let us send troops and people to manage it. You gather the refugees there, and we will raise and manage them for you. If anyone dares to bully them in the future, we will return How about fighting for them?"

Chapter 419 The sought-after Yongping

outside the temple.

Ji Yunruo and Ji Yunrong quietly came to Yongning Palace from the back door.

The two of them came to watch the excitement, and they heard Shen Lang stalking people not long after they arrived here.

The old eunuch was very helpless. These two were princesses, so he didn't dare to stop them. Who doesn't know that His Majesty's favorite is the princess?

In the end, he had to follow.

"It's sir!" Ji Yunruo's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's his voice." Ji Yunrong nodded.

"Sister, shall we go and have a look?" Ji Yunruo grabbed Ji Yunrong's hand.

"Isn't that bad? The two of us should not be able to meet now." Ji Yunrong blushed a little.

She hadn't seen Shen Lang for so long, she also thought about it, she was not like Shen Lang, she could read a file to post if she had nothing to do.

For Shen Lang, he would have sex with Ji Yunrong at least once a week, but for Ji Yunrong, he hadn't seen Shen Lang for two months.

"Hey, there's no need to meet, we are the ones looking at him, and he can't see us." Ji Yunruo said enthusiastically, "Hurry up, I haven't seen Mr. for a long time."

"It's… okay."

Ji Yunrong had no choice but to follow Ji Yunruo forward.

There are several emergency passages at the exit behind the main hall. From here, the two came to the second floor of the main hall, hid behind a huge screen, and secretly looked into the store.

"Mr. Shen, you are trying to invade our country's territory!" The Goguryeo envoy pointed at Shen Lang and shouted angrily, "This is the act of a bandit."

"How can this be called robbery?" Shen Lang spread his hands and said, "Look, we are only helping you temporarily, you want us to help you, right?"

"You keep saying that you are our vassal country, right?"

"We're just helping you manage it for a while. After you finish reforming, this place will be returned to you. We can sign the credentials."

"You said that you are short of food, think about it, I have solved policy issues for you, and I have given you a few choices. I have been helping you with sincerity, but what about you? Not only are you not grateful, but also say I'm a robber, and that doesn't make sense at all."

The Goguryeo envoy's face turned blue and white, and he had nothing to say now.

"This envoy, please think carefully about Shen Lang's suggestion. I, Da Zhou, will never covet your land or your people." Ji Nanxian said, "Whether it is to let them make money to buy food by themselves, Or should we help people to the end, both options are fine.”

"I need to report to the monarch, and I can't decide this." The Goguryeo envoy retreated.

After him, another person took a step forward, bowed, and said to Ji Nanxian: "Your Majesty, our Nanzhao is a small country, and there have been many frictions with Tubo recently, please Your Majesty the Emperor to uphold justice."

"Your Majesty, it has always been..."

Issues related to this kind of dispute are not something that Shen Lang can participate in.

He listened to both sides arguing, but it was still for the land.

In Shen Lang's eyes, Nan Shao and Tubo belonged to China in the future, and he didn't know if they could take them away in advance.

Speaking of it, it should be 200 years after the founding of Nanshao, but Shen Lang didn't know the history of this aspect, so in his opinion, there was no problem at all.

In fact, under the butterfly effect in other countries, many things have changed. If it is replaced by a normal traveler, one who understands history, it is estimated that they will be confused, and Shen Lang has a big heart, and these things are not taken seriously.

Seeing them arguing with each other, with Ji Nanxian acting as a peacemaker there, Shen Lang felt that this was not good.

If he were to deal with it, he would directly ask for iron ore, and I will process it for you, and you will get food as a reward, and then I will give you ready-made weapons.

Don't you all want that land?Then fight, whoever wins.

As for our behavior?This is international aid.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, today I come to Byzantium with sincerity, and I want to continue to do business with Dazhou." John, who Liang Zan had brought to Shen Lang's attention before, came out: "I want Dazhou's iron ore, how much silver do I need? His Majesty the Emperor makes an offer."

"Iron ore? I have a big appetite." Ji Nanxian smiled: "I will give it to you, can you keep it?"

"We can pay, and Da Zhou will help us dig, smelt, and transport." John looked like a big dog.

Shen Lang was thinking, which one is stronger in Da Zhou's economy or Byzantium in this period.

There is no oil yet, and iron ore is definitely the best strategic resource.

"Master Xiao, what do you think?" Ji Nanxian focused on Master Xiao.

"I, Da Zhou, love peace and don't like war." Grand Master Xiao said, "If you use our iron ore to fight, people will suffer. This is against the teachings of the saints."

"Saints teach? Don't your saints know that the world is conquered?" John narrowed his eyes.

"We don't like war, but we don't fear war." Grand Master Xiao said sonorously: "If Byzantium wants to compete with us in the military formation, it is willing to accompany us."

"Hahaha! I was just joking." John shook his head: "Of course I don't want iron to beat others, but to protect myself from being violated. We Byzantium also like peace, and we want this thing to protect ourselves. .”

Shen Lang said: "Since you want to protect yourself, it's okay. Iron ore, weapons, these can be sold to you."

"Not only iron ore and weapons, we can even sell defense equipment."

"However, you are contracting a mine vein, and the price you need to pay may not be low."

"Besides, we only sell weapons, not transport them."

"The people of our Da Zhou are the same as the people of Goguryeo. They are more family-loving. They don't know when they will return after sending things to Byzantium. My Majesty loves the people like a son, and will not do such things."

"When the money arrives, we will naturally start forging. When the time comes, you pay the deposit, and when the weapon is finished, you come to pick it up. When the time comes, you will pay us the balance. How about it? It's a good deal, right?"

The distance between the two sides is too far, and transportation is the most labor-intensive.

Even using storage bags is not safe. After all, you need to buy a lot of weapons, and you can't fit them in hundreds of storage bags.

If there is no heavy escort at that time, I am afraid that they will be robbed.

What Shen Lang thinks is quite simple, as long as you dare to come and collect them, I will dare to give you the weapons. As for whether you will meet the sand bandits and Rouran robbers from the Western Regions, that has nothing to do with me.

"How about it, Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard that Da Zhou has a lot of talents, and I want to have a few matches with Da Zhou." John cupped his hands and said, "Let's gamble and suppress some powerful magical weapons and rare materials, how about?"

A large number of weapons and equipment is the key to war, and the combat power of masters will also affect the war.

It seems that his real purpose is this.

Having seen Shen Lang's eloquence before, he came up with a little routine.

It's like you want to open a window, and people don't agree, but if you want to demolish the house, they will probably agree to you to open a window.

Shen Lang whispered to Liang Zan: "They can also use our magic weapon?"

"Yes." Liang Zan nodded: "They can't touch merit, but they can touch luck. On their side, they can turn Qi into luck that can be seen and attach it to weapons. Our side It can also be tested, the luck of A, B, C and D is the same, like your luck is B Zhong."

"Even if we don't use our weapons, they can be melted and rebuilt, and the materials are the same."

"It's not easy to trade a large number of weapons. This material should be fine, right?" John smiled and said, "I've heard for a long time that the Great Zhou Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and its national power is tyrannical. Your Majesty the Emperor will not be afraid of our Byzantine warriors and problems, right?"

"Bold!" A civil servant stood up and said, "The Holy Majesty saw you coming from afar, and you should not be so disrespectful. You are an envoy of Byzantium. Didn't your country teach you etiquette?"

"It turns out that you call being afraid a lack of etiquette." John said with a look of surprise.

"Hehe." A bearded man with a turban laughed, "Byzantine barbarian."

"Omar, I don't know what benefits Da Zhou has given you?" John looked at the man contemptuously.

"I don't want any benefits, I just don't like you." Omar looked at the beam.

Shen Lang said to Liang Zan: "Who is this?"

"Persians." Ryazan whispered, "They're pretty close."

Shen Lang nodded.

"Okay, since you guys want to gamble, let's gamble." Ji Nanxian knew that at this time, he had to fight to show the country's prestige and let the surrounding countries see Da Zhou's tyranny.

"After those three days, we will bet against His Majesty the Emperor. We will come up with the questions and choose how many games to play." John smiled and said, "This is the territory of the Great Zhou. We are outsiders, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to." Bully us?"

"It can't be compared to language and other things that you know and we don't know." Shen Lang said.

"Don't worry, we came to Byzantium with sincerity." John frowned slightly, and he wanted to take advantage of things like ancient books.

"Besides, the number of games should be limited. Our emperor has a lot of time to meet you and solve problems for you. If you keep competing endlessly, we don't have to do anything."

"At that time, you can bet as many games as you have. If some bets are of low quality, then only two or even three bets can be counted as one game. As long as you can take it out, I, Da Zhou, can also take out something equivalent."

"Okay." John looked confident.

"Then it's settled." Ji Nanxian said.

"Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, our Persian prince wants to marry a noble princess of your country." Omar stood up, "Our Persian prince has always been yearning for the culture, rituals and music of the Great Zhou, and wants to learn more about it."

"We came here with sincerity, and we also brought two Persian princesses, willing to marry His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou."

"We brought three carts of jewels with us on the way here, but unfortunately we ran into vicious robbers who took away the bride price and dowry we sent."

"This time when I go back, I will sue the king and ask him to punish me severely, and then replace me with some more powerful people to make up the dowry and dowry together."

Shen Lang was stunned, what the hell was he wanting to be a white wolf with empty gloves!

I went to your Persia as an envoy, and I said that I brought ten carts of jewels, but they were robbed on the way. How about marrying your daughter to me and giving me some betrothal gifts?

Also, who the hell knows if you brought a real princess or just two random ones you dragged on the street!

Ji Nanxian frowned slightly. Want to marry my daughter or my sister?Don't even think about it!If Ji Nange's domestic sales are okay, but if he marries so far away, this is not what a brother should do.

Ji Yunruo's face turned pale when he heard it from behind.

Marry, marry to Persia?That would be worse than marrying in Tubo!

She knows how far Persia is. If she gets married, she will never want to meet Shen Lang's father and mother again in this life.

Not only that, she didn't even know the customs there.

If, like on the prairie, the son could possess the mother, and even the grandson could possess the grandma, then life would be worse than death!

At that time, for the sake of the country's diplomatic relations, suicide will not work.

"I'm sorry, this Persian envoy." Shen Lang said apologetically: "There is one thing I have to say, our princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not get married. In the past, the marriage was for peace, but now we don't want to marry each other. A girl's happiness needs to be traded for peace."

"Not to mention a princess, even a princess, or even a commoner, is not allowed."

"We are not looking for peace." Omar continued: "Our Prince of Persia sincerely admires Her Royal Highness the Great Zhou Princess. This is love, great love!"

"They haven't met before and you're talking about love with me? Is your prince Plato?" Shen Lang complained.

Indeed, you don't want to exchange for peace, you just want to be a white wolf with empty hands.

"Mr. Shen actually knows about Plato?" Omar asked in surprise.

"I know a lot." Shen Lang glared at him.

"Your Majesty, we really came here with sincerity." Omar continued: "No matter how difficult the challenge is, we are willing to accept it, as long as His Majesty is willing to marry the princess to us."

"Ha! Thinking too much!" At this time, the Tubo envoy stood up: "Our Zanpu also wants to marry the princess of Dazhou."

"I even grabbed it..." Shen Lang was a little speechless.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yongping has indeed reached the age of marriage." Situ Mowen stood up and said, "If we marry Tubo Zanpu, it will indeed make our relationship closer, and maybe we will have a good story in the future."

No matter from the perspective of the autumn harvest and the Northern Expedition, or from the perspective of economic and cultural exchanges, the advantages of marriage outweigh the disadvantages.

As for a woman's thoughts... Situ really didn't take it seriously.

In this era, there are quite a few people who have his idea.

Anyway, to marry anyone is to marry. It is better to marry the king of Tubo than to marry Persia, and you can also refuse Persia's marriage proposal.

Seeing Situ speak, many civil officials responded one after another.

"Your Majesty, I have long heard that Zanpu is a young hero who can give birth to tigers and leopards at a young age. He is a rare hero."

"Your Majesty, Tubo is thriving under Zanpu's rule, and has always been on good terms with me, Da Zhou. It's better to be an adult."

"Wait, I, my Nanzhao prince also wants to marry the princess of the Great Zhou!" The Nanzhao envoy was in a hurry, if you marry, then Dazhou and Tubo will join us and we'll be fooling around!

Chapter 420 The Stubborn Shen Lang

Ji Yunruo's pretty face turned pale. If there was only one family, she should not be married off, but these people are like crazy and want to marry her, so what should I do?
