different devil life

but,

He could only swallow his anger.

Taking a deep breath, Dahe bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, let me take the token given to me by the leader first."

As he spoke, he took out the first kit, opened it and glanced at it, his heart skipped a beat.

"So that's how it is." Dahe thought to himself.

He changed his expression and said: "This lord is very right. My Stone Dynasty is indeed a small country, but it is not a small country that can be bullied. The leader told me that if we can form an alliance and open up trade, he promises that within five years Let’s double our economy.”

"It's nonsense, it's nonsense."

At this time, the court was full of voices of cursing.

Dahe became anxious all of a sudden, and the first kit said: form an alliance, open up trade, and ensure that the economies of the two countries will double within five years.

He just saw that he subconsciously thought it was a good thing, so he said it excitedly, but who knew it would actually have the opposite effect, what should we do?

But what Dahe didn't notice was that Li Qinglong's expression on the dragon chair remained unchanged, and he didn't say anything.

"Master Envoy, my Great Heavenly Dynasty has been established for so many years, and the economy has remained unchanged all year round. You actually said that our economy will double in five years. Is your leader an idiot?"

"Yeah, it must be a fool, it must be."

The people around you said what I said.

In a hurry, Dahe quickly took out the second kit.

After reading it, his expression changed.

"The leader not only said that the economy will be doubled, but also that if your country is attacked by other countries, our Stone Dynasty is willing to send troops to assist."

"Haha, childish!" Another general taunted.

"That's right, our Great Heavenly Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, how can we need assistance?"

Da He gritted his teeth and opened the third kit.

Seeing this, he was stunned, and hesitantly looked at Li Qinglong who was in his position.

"I see that you have already opened the third kit, what does it say?" Li Qinglong said with a half-smile.

"He said, the Great Wilderness...is huge...that's all."

"The Great Wilderness is huge." Li Qinglong murmured, then suddenly smiled.

The people around didn't know why Li Qinglong was smiling.

Only a few smart officials changed their expressions slightly after hearing this.

"This guy, is he trying to take advantage of the greatness of the Great Desolation, and think that he can deal with our Great Heavenly Dynasty?" A military officer shouted angrily.

Li Qinglong waved his hands and said, "Don't be angry, he's telling the truth."

This Li Qinglong was not reckless, after finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about the words on the three kits.

The first two are Wang Zhong's lure.

Guarantee him economically and militarily.

Guaranteed doubling of the economy, guaranteed military alliances.

But to be honest, he didn't believe that Wang Zhong had this ability.

But the last sentence is actually a threat.

The Great Wilderness is very big, it is indeed big, and because of this, without economic benefits, the Great Heavenly Dynasty has never had any thoughts on the Great Wilderness.

Now that there is a Stone Dynasty, if they attack the Stone Dynasty, they will at most retreat, but in this case, they will not be able to send troops too far. Over time, it will be a war of attrition.

This is not good for the Great Celestial Dynasty, which is surrounded by powerful enemies.

"Your Majesty, the leader does not intend to go to war. If you don't believe me, give us five years and the leader will fulfill his promise." Dahe said solemnly.

In fact, at this point, Li Qinglong has already decided that the leader named Mu Mu is very interesting. At the same time, he also feels that it is difficult to defeat him when dealing with such a smart person.

Therefore, deep down in his heart, he also felt that he could not be an enemy of Wang Zhong.

He has been sitting in this position for so long and has managed the country so well, all he relies on is knowing people.

So he immediately decided in his heart to negotiate peace.

…………

Wang Zhong sat inside his own meeting hall, looking at the huge map, guessing in his heart what the Great Heavenly Dynasty would do.

During this trip, the reason why he asked Dahe to open the kit in the court hall was because he was worried that Dahe would question the contents of the kit after reading it beforehand, and the tone of his speech at that time was different from his affirmative tone.

Speaking in a skeptical tone will make people doubt, but the tone of affirmation is different.

Sometimes, speaking is also an art. Two different people say the same thing, but the effect is different.

This time, let Dahe go over to negotiate. Although he hopes for peace from the bottom of his heart, he is not unprepared for war.

The soldiers, horses, food and grass in the rear have all been transported and scattered in various villages.

These villages are connected to each other, forming an absolute defense of each fortress. When a place is attacked, other villages respond immediately, which is perfect.

Just as she was thinking, suddenly the dumb girl came in with a dusty cavalry.

"Wood, Dahe's personal guards are here." The dumb girl shouted hastily.

This person followed Dahe to the Great Heavenly Dynasty on this trip. At that time, Wang Zhong said that no matter whether the news was good or bad, Dahe would send someone back to report it as soon as possible.

"How to say?" Wang Zhong looked at him and said.

"Report to the leader, the negotiation... the negotiation went very smoothly, His Majesty the Great Heavenly Dynasty is willing... to discuss important matters with you!!! One month later, we will meet in Dongcheng..."

This person may have been exhausted after coming back day and night, so just after he finished speaking, he tilted his head and passed out.

"Help him down and have a good rest." Wang Zhong waved his hand, feeling quite uneasy in his heart.

The crisis... finally lifted.

But we can't slack off, the Great Heavenly Dynasty is governed so well, so Wang Zhong concluded that the current emperor is also a smart person, he can't guarantee whether the other party is playing hard to get, so it still depends on the next development.

"Time, what I need now is time, as long as you give me time, the Stone Dynasty will survive!"

…………

A few days later, as expected, Wang Zhong got the news that all the surrounding tribes affiliated with the Great Heavenly Dynasty had retreated.

At the same time, the envoys of the Great Heavenly Dynasty came again to discuss the meeting between His Majesty Li Qinglong and him in Dongcheng.

The time is agreed in one month.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Wang Zhong stepped up the construction of the city, but he found that as his territory increased, the originally wealthy Stone Dynasty gradually became unable to make ends meet.

Fortunately, the barren people hardly paid for their work, and only had to pay for food. Otherwise, the financial aspect would have failed long ago.

Money, still need a lot of money!

Wang Zhong frowned, feeling a lot of pressure.

"How to get money"

Wang Zhong thought about it, and finally, he thought of expanding trade.

If you want to expand trade, you must have your own advantageous industries. What are the advantageous industries above the wilderness?Which can make big money?

Chapter 96 Expansion of Trade

There are many choices before Wang Zhong.

Expanding trade is nothing more than making money.

He now has a lot of resources and a large population. The key is that the labor cost is not high, and many industries can be developed.

For example, manufacturing...

Of course, their social system is too primitive, even inferior to the Great Heavenly Dynasty, so manufacturing is difficult.

What Wang Zhong values ​​now is food.

A few days ago, when he went to the Great Heavenly Dynasty, he had already discovered that the Great Heavenly Dynasty is strong and the people are rich, people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are many rich people, so he plans to grow grain on a large scale, and all kinds of cattle, sheep and pigs will be sent to the Great Heavenly Dynasty for trade.

Secondly, people in the Great Heavenly Dynasty like to drink tea, and he is also planning to introduce tea.

The land on the Great Wilderness is fertile and very suitable for growing tea.

Finally, he also looked at the map. Going east along the cave city, there is a forest of heaven. This forest is at the very edge, so the forest is not very dense. After passing through, you can reach the United States of Armani in the west.

This country is a country united by dozens of countries and is directly led by a big country.

In fact, it is a bit similar to the meaning that the Great Heavenly Dynasty is the main country, and the surrounding areas are subordinate tribes, anyway, it is almost the same.

Now he can arrange people to go through this forest and reach the distant and mysterious Armani United States for trade.

As long as he opens up his advantageous industries, he will be able to make a lot of money sooner or later.

So, he set to work.

First, he arranged for a convoy to carry some gifts and goods, put on his stone dynasty documents, and head to the United States of Armani.

On the one hand, it is to discuss trade matters, on the other hand, his country needs to be recognized by them.

In terms of territory, tea has been introduced long ago, and he also hired tea masters with a lot of money to grow it, while the desolate people are learning.

Cattle, sheep and pigs also started to grow on a large scale. He set up a total of ten farms and encouraged the people to breed them.

The entire Stone Dynasty is producing in an orderly manner, which makes Wang Zhong very pleased.

A month later, he finally brought a group of people to Dongcheng.

When he went there, he also thought about whether the other party would launch a surprise attack and kill him.

But it's impossible to think about it.

After all, the two countries are not in a state of war. The king of a country is invited to go there. If the Great Heavenly Dynasty launches an attack and the news spreads, who will dare to deal with the Great Heavenly Dynasty in the future?

So Wang Zhong was not worried.

After Wang Zhong passed by, he was invited to the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion. When he passed, Li Qinglong, the Emperor of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, had already been waiting.

When the two met, they were shocked by each other's youthful appearance.

Li Qinglong was already in charge of the Great Heaven Dynasty at a young age, and Wang Zhong was even younger, developing from a tribe to a Stone Dynasty.

The two seemed to hit it off.

It's a pity that they are the kings of the two countries, and this trip is also to discuss major issues.

Although the national power of the Great Heavenly Dynasty was strong, Wang Zhong did not lose the wind. He and Li Qinglong sat on the long table, facing each other.

"I have long heard that the Great Heavenly Dynasty is the dragon among the emperors, and seeing it today, it is indeed majestic." Wang Zhong cupped his hands, with an attitude neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Qinglong nodded slightly, sat across from him and said with a smile: "I am very surprised that the wooden leader is so young, especially when you said that you will double the economy of my Great Heaven within five years..."

"Haha, maybe it won't take five years."

"May I listen to it?"

"First of all, we must develop overseas trade and open to the outside world..."

Wang Zhong began to explain.

In fact, he has other ways.

For example, use the basic technology of the Great Heavenly Dynasty to develop manufacturing, science, machinery...

But then he thought about it, the stronger the Great Heavenly Dynasty, the harder it is for him to develop, so he chose overseas trade.

Wang Zhong said a lot at once. In addition to overseas trade, he also suggested that Li Qinglong cancel the silver standard and adopt paper currency as legal tender.

The abolition of the silver standard has huge financial significance and can be said to be an important symbol of national modernization.

Because the silver standard country is limited by the output of silver, that is to say, no matter how rich the country is, no matter how many items it produces, but if there is no silver payment, the country still has no money.

But it is different if paper currency is adopted. European countries used this to make the country's economy no longer struggling.

After that, European countries discovered a large amount of silver mines in America, so they drove the silver to China by boat, making a lot of wealth.

Li Qinglong is a smart man, not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also has an extreme understanding of mathematics.
