Chapter 282 Trusteeship

"How much land can you give me?" Han Zhongwei looked at Wanyan Xun, who was no longer arrogant and asked disdainfully. Since the other party regarded him as the prince, there was no need to regard Wanyan Xun as his disciple.

"How about we send Yingzhou to you?" Wanyan Xun said carefully. He was really afraid that Han Zhongwei would speak loudly again. He knew his master well. He would definitely take advantage of it, and he would take all the benefits.

"Yingzhou? It is north of the Huaihe River, and I don't have a navy army, so what are you going to do?" Han Zhongwei felt moved. Yingzhou is the home of Heifeng Village, but now it has been abandoned by Heifeng Village. If it is given away for free, he may still reluctantly accept it, but if it is used as a condition for exchange, let's forget it.

"Why would the master tell me something?" Wanyan Xun felt that the conversation between the master and apprentice would be easier. If he took out the prince's airs and then faced King Han Zhongwei, he would sometimes be hard to say even if he gave in, but he had to complete this task this time, otherwise he would not be able to work with the emperor.

"Okay, come here, get the map." Han Zhongwei said loudly.

"Master, don't bother, just carry the disciple." Since Wanyan Xun was going to give Han Zhongwei, Dajin's detailed map would definitely carry it with him.

"You are intent." Han Zhongwei's eyes turned, this was the meat delivered to the door. If he didn't eat it, he would be thundering.

The map brought by Wanyan Xun was very big. Han Zhongwei walked to the study room. The novice freed up a table, spread the map of Dajin on it, and looked carefully.

The current territory of the Jin Kingdom is actually the three northeastern provinces in later generations, including East China, Central China, and Beijing, Tianjin and North China. Han Zhongwei had long studied the general trend of the world and was very familiar with the territory of the Jin Kingdom. Most of the land in the Jin Kingdom was from the original Song Kingdom.

"Although the Jin Dynasty has a vast territory, I can't be too greedy. Just need a place as big as a palm." Han Zhongwei actually had a plan before entering the study. Although some places are very jealous, they can't take them now. Even if they get them, they can't hold them. Maybe they will give others a wedding dress. It's not that they can find a place that can be kept firmly in the place.

"Master, let's talk about it first." Wanyan Xun felt that Han Zhongwei's words just now were simply fairy music. This is graceful. People are not as good as being a person. You really can't be too greedy.

"You are holding the map like this and asking me to choose a place. Isn't your emperor brother sad?" Han Zhongwei asked with a smile when he got the advantage.

"I came out this time and followed the emperor's will." Wanyan Xun just wanted to end the negotiations with Han Zhongwei as soon as possible. It was rare that he was kind-hearted. He only had a place as big as a palm. If he missed this village, there would be no such store.

"Okay, I just want these places." Han Zhongwei pressed his right palm on the map and said to Wanyan Xun.

"This... this is the whole Fengxiang Road and the west of Nanjing Road. Is this a palm-sized place? There are more than a dozen cities, and there are several big cities." Wanyan Xun rubbed his eyes, looking incredible. The place where Han Zhongwei covered with his hands was the Jin land between Xixia and Song. Xixia did not directly border the Jin Kingdom, and was separated by Fengxiang Road in the Jin Kingdom. This also includes many big cities, such as Yan'an, Fengxiang Prefecture, Lanzhou, Lintao Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture. If these places were really given to Han Zhongwei, it would not be smaller than the seven states of Xixia he owned now.

"I looked left and right, but I didn't even walk out of my slap." Han Zhongwei said with a smile without letting go of his hand.

"What you mean is the size of a palm on the map? This...this..." Wanyan Xun finally realized that the size of a palm on the map is amazing. Even the Zhongdu Mansion is only as big as a finger. Now Han Zhongwei needs to slap it as soon as he reaches out his hand, which makes Wanyan Xun speechless. He no longer has the courage to talk to Han Zhongwei anymore.

"I have put forward my terms. If you agree, then the deal will be made, otherwise I will not betray my brother." Han Zhongwei said with a "righteous and strict manner."

"I have a great deal of work, so I dare not be self-dedicated. I have to go back and ask the emperor to decide." Wanyan Xun came out this time, and Wanyan Jing had already given him great autonomy and said that he could do anything. But the price is too high now, and Wanyan Xun is not taking the initiative. He is afraid that even if he agrees, the emperor will not agree.

But beyond Wanyan Xun's expectations, he returned to Zhong and reported the matter to Wanyan Jing. Wanyan Jing just hesitated for a moment and didn't even let Wanyan Xun go back and wait for the news. He decided to come.

"We can agree to Han Zhongwei's conditions, but we also need to raise the conditions accordingly. He not only supports us to support the King of Khan from the Krei tribe to the position of Khan, but also has to tell us about his firearm making method." Wanyan Jing said.

"I think Han Zhongwei may not refuse the first condition, but the second condition is his foundation. If he does not have a firearm, he can say that he is nothing. Do you think he may agree to tell us the method? As far as I know, even the craftsman who specializes in making firearms does not know how the firearms are made. He is not at ease with his own people, which shows how important the firearms are to him, how can they give us?" Wanyan Xun frowned tightly. With his understanding of Han Zhongwei, it was impossible for him to pay such a price.

"Then let's change the conditions and ask him to give us 500,000 landmines and 2 million grenades." Wanyan Jing also spoke out loudly.

"Is this too much?" Wanyan Xun said with a wry smile.

"Didn't you think too much when he wanted land? It's a population of millions and several prefectures. He got that place and could even establish a country alone." Wanyan Jing snorted coldly. The reason why he promised Han Zhongwei was mainly to release a bait. Han Zhongwei owned seven prefectures in Xixia, and now he has several prefectures given to him by the Jin Kingdom. I'm afraid with his strength, it's not impossible to really establish a country.

"That's right, I'll go back and negotiate with him immediately." Wanyan Xun said. He didn't even go back to his home, and hurriedly returned to Heicheng and continued to engage in arduous negotiations with Han Zhongwei.

"Not only do I want to give up Mongolia, but I also want to tell you the method of making firearms? Wanyan Xun, do you think it's possible?" Han Zhongwei laughed in anger. At first, when Wanyan Jing agreed to his request for land as big as a palm, Han Zhongwei was still very happy. Wanyan Jing still had the courage. But as soon as he heard the request afterwards, his face immediately became gloomy.

"Master, don't get angry. My court can send the land to you, and it's such a large piece of land. It's not a barren land with everyone. Is this condition really so ridiculous?" This was the first time Wanyan Xun saw Han Zhongwei like a mouse with a trampled tail.

"Okay, I can't agree to your conditions, and I don't want Wanyan Jing to be difficult to do. You go back and just pretend that nothing is wrong." Han Zhongwei waved his hand and stopped discussing this issue with Wanyan Xun.

"Master, what do you mean?" It was Wanyan Xun's turn to jump up.

"What does it mean? Didn't I say it clearly just now? What I mean is that you don't have to give me your land for no means to do so. I don't want it, nor dare to take it." Han Zhongwei snorted coldly.

"Master, how can you act voluntarily? My Dajin land is still good, especially Fengxiang Road, which has several big cities and millions of people. If you take Fengxiang Road, you can even establish a country by yourself or go further. Maybe your disciple will call you the emperor in the future." Wanyan Xun said with a smile.

"What's the best thing about being an emperor? I'm free and comfortable now, and I'm not more comfortable than being an emperor?" Han Zhongwei said disdainfully, but he was secretly happy. It seemed that the Jin Kingdom had already made a plan to exchange for land for himself to leave Mongolia.

"A man must have his own hegemony. You are in Xixia now, no matter how free you are, you are still working for Li An's life?" Wanyan Xun was secretly distressed. If Han Zhongwei was not interested in the land of the Jin Kingdom, then everything he would have made no sense in the future. Li An would only continue to be at peace with him, and Song Kingdom would not take any action against him.

"I want to live a few more years of life. What kind of hegemony or not? You have to have a life to enjoy it?" Han Zhongwei didn't even look at Wanyan Xun, and was about to end the negotiation.

"Master, if you don't want to tell us how to make a firearm, I think it's okay to give more ignitioners." Wanyan Xun had known for a long time that Han Zhongwei could not teach others how to make a firearm, but he didn't expect that his reaction was so big that he would break if he had a disagreement.

"How much does it give the firearm?" Han Zhongwei's steps slowly stopped.

"According to your request to Fengxiang Road, part of Nanjing West Road, our court hopes that in addition to withdrawing all the guards from Mongolia, you will also send us 500,000 landmines and 2 million grenades." Wanyan Xun said carefully, looking at Han Zhongwei's face as he said, for fear that he would not jump up again.

"Wanyan Xun, do you know how many firearms were used in the Jamukha unification of Mongolian tribes?" Han Zhongwei's face had no expression, but it was just a little blue.

"I hope Master will give you advice." Wanyan Xun said quickly.

"Not less than 7,000 mines and 5,000 grenades. You need 500,000 mines and 2 million grenades now, which is enough for others to unify the Mongolian tribe dozens of times. Don't you think I'm at a loss for such a transaction? Even if you don't count this, how much does these 500,000 landmines cost? Based on thirty guan per one, it's 1,5 million guan. Can your Dajin treasury take so much money a year? Besides, there are 2 million grenades, and you still have 20 million grenades, so you have to pay 20 million no matter how hard it is.

Guan? Sell Fengxiang Road, do you think it can be sold for 30 million yuan? Besides, with my current advantage on the grassland, making millions of yuan a year is like playing. How do you make up for such profits?" Han Zhongwei became more and more excited. Wanyan Jing still wants to take advantage of himself. He wants to put his hand into the grassland and get enough firearms from his own hands. To really satisfy him, I am afraid that within ten years, the Jin Kingdom will not lack firearms, which Zhu Daidong would not want to see.

Although there are several big cities on Fengxiang Road, the tax revenue there is only hundreds of thousands of guan a year, and it is probably impossible to collect 30 million guan in a hundred years. Besides, Han Zhongwei may occupy 100 years there?

"What should I do according to the master's wishes?" Wanyan Xun asked.

"According to my opinion, firearms, don't want to be free from me. If you want firearms, you can buy them with money. It's not impossible to barter them. As for those firearms, aren't they just a few prefectures and cities? I don't want you to send them, how about renting them from you?" Han Zhongwei rolled his eyes and thoughts. According to his estimate, even if the Jin Dynasty did not participate in the Mongolian Khanate, he would instigate Jamukha to attack the Jin Dynasty. At that time, he would ask the Song Dynasty to send troops and send troops from Xixia to assist. It would be a great good luck to keep the Jin Dynasty in ten years. Now he would definitely not do it if Wanyan Jing gave the land to himself for free. Instead of being stalemate, it would be better to sell it to rent.

"Rent?" Wanyan Xun didn't expect that the land could still be rented.

"Of course, this is equivalent to a transaction. The Jin Kingdom will rent me the size of a palm to me. I don't want much for the lease period. What about fifteen years? Within fifteen years, I will decide that place. After fifteen years, I will return it to Zhao. And every year I can also symbolically pay rent to you so that Wanyan Jing can block the mouths of the ministers in the court." Han Zhongwei smiled and said.

"Fifteen years? Master, you said that you only need that land for fifteen years?" Wanyan Xun looked surprised, but he also doubted that Han Zhongwei was so good? He never did a loss-making business.

"Of course, if you think renting is not good, you can change it to custody. In the past, these places paid treasury taxes every year, and after I took over, I would pay twice the extra money. Of course, within fifteen years, I will be responsible for everything that happened there, whether it is officials or the army, I don't want any of them." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Trusteeship seems to be better than renting, and maybe this will impress Wanyan Jing more. He just managed those places for fifteen years, and the annual tax revenue can be doubled. Where can I find such a good thing?

"After this, isn't the master suffering a little loss? If you don't have taxes, don't pay it?" Wanyan Xun still couldn't believe it. Even if Han Zhongwei scraped those places three feet into the ground, he might not be able to scrape any money? Isn't he obviously doing a loss-making business?

"I will do a loss-making business? Heicheng has only been in my hands for two or three years. Originally, it was just a fortress. Now, let's take a look at what's the difference between it and the prosperous places in Jiangnan? Which one is not several times larger than Heicheng, like Fengxiang Prefecture, Lintao Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Yanqing Prefecture? How much money can I make in my hands for fifteen years? I'm afraid that no one will doubt it if I say I am the richest man in the world in fifteen years?" Han Zhongwei smiled discontently.

"Master's ability to make money is the best in the world." Wanyan Xun said sincerely. He could not guarantee Han Zhongwei's other abilities, but when it comes to making money, Han Zhongwei said that no one dared to be the first. Those important towns are in his hands. After fifteen years of construction, perhaps each one will not be worse than Lin'an.

"That's right, you won't lose money. Think about it, fifteen years later, if you take back to those places, just collecting taxes can double your treasury." Han Zhongwei said.

"I'll borrow my master's words." Wanyan Xun imagined that when Dajin took back those places from Han Zhongwei fifteen years later, every city would be extremely prosperous, with shops lined up and the population soared. Perhaps there would be a new granary for Dajin in the future.

But Wanyan Xun seemed to have forgotten when he would have spit out what he had entered Han Zhongwei's mouth? But now Wanyan Xun was attracted by the scene fifteen years later, and he never thought that such a thing would happen.

Han Zhongwei changed the gift to rent, and finally to custody. In this way, those places still belong to the Dajin government, and now they are only managed by Han Zhongwei for fifteen years. In this way, Wanyan Xun had no psychological obstacles and Wanyan Jing could accept it. Moreover, the annual tax revenue has not decreased, but has doubled as a result. This also gives an explanation to the court. Even if someone attacks the court, Wanyan Jing has a solution, which is equivalent to appointing Han Zhongwei as the governor of Fengxiang Road.

Both sides were very happy when Han Zhongwei's regression. Wanyan Xun was afraid that it would change later, so he immediately signed an agreement with Han Zhongwei. The three prefectures, Lintao Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture, were sent to Han Zhongwei for fifteen years. During these fifteen years, Han Zhongwei needed to pay double the taxes paid by these seven prefectures last year. The army and officials of these three prefectures will be evacuated, and Han Zhongwei will be stationed in troops and officials. In addition, it is the matter of the Mongolian Khanate. Now Jamukha promises Han Zhongwei's conditions. No matter who becomes the Khan of the Mongolian Khanate in the future, Han Zhongwei must also give the same conditions. In a word, the losses on Han Zhongwei's Mongolian grassland cannot be reduced as a result.

After the agreement was signed, Wanyan Xun immediately ordered someone to send it back to Zhongdu. First, let Wanyan Jing take a look, and second, the agreement must be stamped with the jade seal before it will take effect. Wanyan Jing was very satisfied after seeing the agreement. Han Zhongwei finally miscalculated this time. He only had to trust him for fifteen years. Isn’t this a 15-year voluntary work for the Dajin? Although he would definitely squeeze the people of these prefectures in the past fifteen years, in that case, it would be difficult for Han Zhongwei to sit firmly in these places. As long as he solved the affairs of the Mongolian Khanate, he could act according to the opportunity and it would be impossible to take it back in advance.

After Wanyan Jing stamped the seal, he wrote a secret to Wanyan Xun. Since Han Zhongwei promised to withdraw from Mongolia, the big gold would need firearms. This time the land was not replaced with firearms, but Han Zhongwei's promise was just a promise, but Wanyan Jing believed that this promise was worth it. Without Han Zhongwei's support, Jamuha was like a tiger with teeth twitching, and he could not have been able to make trouble anymore.

Therefore, Wanyan Jing asked that when Wanyan Xun was in Heicheng, he must buy more firearms. Jamuha was unified with 7,000 landmines and 5,000 grenades. Now my Dajin supports the Krei tribe's 35,000 landmines and 25,000 grenades. Jamuha is not beaten to run away with his head?
