At this time, Zheng Wen was summoning Prime Minister Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers in Wude Hall.

Wait for everyone to sit down.

Zheng Wen said, "Sir, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan sent a representative. I am not sure if I want to have a peace talk with you. I want to hear the opinions of you."

It was silent for a long time.

Liu Jiancai took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the situation in China, it is best to be able to negotiate peace with the Mongolians. In less than a month, the production and life of the people in China have been affected. In another month, the situation in China may be worse. Maybe some places will be unstable, so it is the worst to discuss peace with the Mongolians."

Xie Fei said, "Your Majesty, I disagree. I mobilized millions of troops and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but I did not make any profit. There will be criticisms among the people of the court and the morale of the army is probably affected by the club, and Your Majesty's reputation will be damaged."

After more than ten years of hard work, Chengping finally ushered in the opportunity of a warrior. Of course, he would not agree. As a senior manager of a warrior in Beijing, he certainly had to fight for the interests of the military. If he did not object or remain silent, his position in the military would probably be affected, so of course he would object.

Guo Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, retorted: "You martial artists know how to fight. Do you know how much money and grain are spent in less than a month? In this case, the Ministry of Revenue will go bankrupt in another month. The treasury is afraid that it will not even pay your salary, so I agree to discuss peace with the Mongolians."

"You, you..." Xie Fei was speechless at once, with a red face and a thick neck, looking angry, and wanted to step forward to beat Guo Cheng, and Guo Cheng also looked eager to try.

When Zheng Wen saw this, he was speechless and had to say, "Okay, they are all important officials in the court, what kind of morality do you think? Let's continue."

When the two heard this, they immediately stopped and stopped paying attention to each other.

Zhao Shan, the Ministry of War, said, "Your Majesty, the military on the list has been in peace for a long time. I am afraid that there are many untrue things in the registered army. Moreover, the military situation in various places has not been changed for many years, and the major operations have not yet been prepared for a full-scale war. Since the Mongolians want to negotiate peace with Daquan, then we will negotiate peace, but we must do some great benefits. So I agree to negotiate peace with the Mongolians."

The following people agreed to negotiate peace with the Mongolians.

After hearing this, Zheng Wen was not interested in this. Although these speeches have put forward more or less various reasons to support peace talks with the Mongolians, Zheng Wen still feels that the conservativeness of the court is in the Dachang court. Although he also tends to negotiate peace talks, he is still quite dissatisfied with the court's atmosphere and is very unhappy!

But the face was not obvious, so he said calmly: "Then let it be like this. Let the Minister of War Zhao Aiqing first talk to the Mongolians on behalf of me. I will ask Zhao Qing for the specific standards, so don't let me down."

"Let's go!" After saying that, Zheng Wen got up, expressionless, and lamely walked out of the Wude Hall.

The ministers watched him step by step out of the Wude Hall, and their thoughts were all in their hearts. It seemed that His Majesty was also inclined to discuss peace.

...

Honglu Temple, in the hall.

Zhao Shan and Bo Chi sat opposite each other, looking at each other without saying a word.

After a long time, Bo Chi's concentration was not as strong as Zhao Shan.

Then he took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhao, I, Bochi, is the special envoy of the Khan. I, the Great Mongolia, have a million troops and cover a land of thousands of miles, from east to west, from south to north, riding a fast horse, running for a month without sleep, but still unable to reach the border. It can be said that we are powerful. Our Great Khan is wise and powerful, and we are invincible in battle and are invincible in every battle. This time we came to your country to negotiate peace because the Khan did not want to see your country flowing into blood, so he sent me..."

When Zhao Shan heard this, he sneered and interrupted Bo Chi's speech. Isn't it just a threat of force? He then said, "No need to say this. I have been working hard for more than 300 years, with a profound foundation, rich people and wealth, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles, with millions of troops, countless talented people, and a large number of talents. The ministers in the court were dedicated to the country. The people were fighting in a rampant manner. Your Majesty was a great strategy. Who is my opponent in this world? If you want to fight, you will be able to pay the price to the end. It's just that the new emperor ascended the throne and ruled the world with filial piety. He didn't want to get bloody as soon as he ascended the throne. He heard that Mongolia was going to make a big fight with me, so Your Majesty ordered me to listen to your conditions and see if you want to negotiate peace."

Just brag each other, no one can do it? Isn’t it just blowing to the top and threatening force?

Bo Chi was also secretly shocked when he heard this. It seemed that his verbal skills were indeed no match for the big fighters, and he himself knew the situation of the big fighters. Based on his observations and inquiries these days, he was far less good than Mr. Zhao said. The situation in the big fighters in China was still very complicated. If he didn't want to negotiate peace with him, he wouldn't have arrived yesterday, so he would have come to talk to him today.

But he cares, Da Khan wants to negotiate peace!

Then he spoke again: "Mr. Zhao, we don't need these weak things anymore. Let's talk about some practical things. The Khan really wants to discuss peace with the big karma. For this reason, our Khan is willing to make up for the losses of big karma, but the big karma must increase the trade with Mongolia."

After hearing this, Zhao Shan thought for a while before speaking, "I can't decide on the matter of mutual transactions, but I still know the matter of peace talks. As long as you Mongolians fight me with 100,000 war horses and millions of cattle and sheep, I can decide on the matter of peace talks immediately."

"It is impossible, we must add a trade, and there are too many, at most, we can fight 10,000 horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep, so that we Mongolia can have a great peace with you." Bo Chi immediately rejected it.

After hearing this, Zhao Shan was not too late, so he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, let's talk slowly. As long as you Mongolia fight 90,000 horses and 900,000 cattle and sheep, I promise to promote the increase in the trade between Mongolia and the Great War?"

When Bo Chi heard this, he found that the peace talks were interesting, and it was almost a consensus, but the compensation was still too great!

So he thought for a while before speaking, "How big is the increase you are talking about?"

As an experienced Mongolian on the grassland, he deeply knew how important the mutual trade with Dakan was to Mongolia. He didn't know how much salt and tea flowed into Mongolia every year. Once the mutual trade was cut off, many Mongolians could not eat salt or drink tea. Therefore, he proposed peace talks in front of the Mongolian Khan, and Kublai Khan would agree, even if he was willing to give some compensation.

After hearing this, Zhao Shan, as the Minister of War, also knew the importance of mutual trading to Mongolia, so he spoke: "How about ten times?"

When Bo Chi heard this, his heart was boiling like boiling water, but his face was not visible at all. Then he calmly said, "How about twenty times? And there is too much compensation, three horses, three cattle and sheep, each of which is 300,000 yuan?"

When Zhao Shan heard this, he bargained and said, "Twenty times are too much, only ten times, eighty thousand war horses, eighty thousand cattle and sheep each."

When Bo Chi heard this, he became anxious and said, "Eighteen times, 40,000 war horses, 400,000 cattle and sheep each."

When Zhao Shan heard this, he bargained again. For a moment, he was saliva flying and verbally. For a horse, a cow, and a sheep, both sides refused to give in to each other, and the quarreled red and his voice became louder and louder. For a moment, the entire Honglu Temple Hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, which was very lively!

Finally, the two sides finally agreed to increase the trade with 15 times, and Mongolia compensated 50,000 horses and 500,000 cattle and sheep.

...

It lasted for more than an hour before Zhao Shan walked out of the Honglu Temple. Although he was a little tired, he was full of energy and walked towards the palace.

As for the matter of mutual market, Zhao Shan was not worried. Although the matter of mutual market was not mentioned in His Majesty's appointment, as a person of this era, he was still confident that he would convince His Majesty to agree to increase the mutual market.

In the Daming Palace, the Imperial Study Room, Zheng Wen summoned Zhao Shan.

Zheng Wen took the lead and said, "Zhao Aiqing, how are you talking?"

Zhao Shan saluted Zheng Wen first before speaking: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to negotiate with the Mongolian envoy Bochi. The final result was that Mongolia and I fought hard to negotiate peace, and I fought hard to increase the trade with the Mongolians fifteen times, and the Mongolians compensated me for 50,000 war horses and 500,000 cattle and sheep each."

Zheng Wen was immediately happy when he heard this. In fact, he had long wanted to trade with the Mongolians. As a time traveler, he certainly knew the benefits of trade with each other, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Shan would have such thoughts.

But he still had no expression on his face and said in a plain tone: "How could Zhao Aiqing think of trading with the Mongolians?"

After hearing this, Zhao Shan was not in a hurry. He organized his words and said, "Your Majesty, I think that my big deal with the Mongolians can not only gain huge wealth for me, but also comfort Mongolia in disguise and increase the trade. This will allow Mongolia to not invade and work hard for a long time, and it will take a long time to do peace. This will make Your Majesty focus on organizing big deals, tidying up the army and preparing for war, and completely destroying Mongolia."

"As the Minister of War, I know deeply that the military preparations I work hard is time to rectify. After more than ten years of peace, the military preparations I work hard are gradually relaxed. The officers at the bottom are seriously corrupt, and the soldiers are not willing to fight. There are frequent empty pay and raising soldiers to carry military pay. Many places have serious shortages of soldiers, and the 1.8 million troops on paper are already insufficient, and the military preparations are outdated. My military preparations are no longer as good as those at the beginning of the founding of the country. Therefore, I am ignorant of the death to report to you, ask Your Majesty to increase the intensity of the trade, negotiate peace with the Mongols, and ask Your Majesty to reform my military, otherwise I will have the power of overturning within a hundred years of hard work!"

After saying that, Zhao Shan’s eyes turned red and he knelt down to Zheng Wen!

After hearing this, Zheng Wen limped, walked towards Zhaoshan step by step, and helped Zhaoshan up with both hands before saying to him: "You, a loyal minister!"

When Zhao Shan heard this, his eyes turned red and his face was full of excitement. He couldn't even stop his body trembling. This was the best praise he had ever heard of for decades!

Never regret in your life!
