Chapter 641: Said these are not showing weakness

6 min read1,403 words

Zi Junrui asked: "What is a good mouth?"

Zi Xu gave him an analysis: "Our soldiers are weak in fighting in the forest,

and they can block ten.

Also, if we go to attack, then they will fight in groups.

The foundation of our country is not stable now, and we cannot do this kind of

thing.

Maybe your throne will be sent out again! "

Zi Junrui nodded: "I see, now it can only be a good relationship. Selling food

to them is a boon?"

Zi Xu agreed with this statement: "Yes, they eat Dashang's food, and of course

they will appreciate Dashang's goodness.

Even though we paid out the money, if we don't sell it, wouldn't they also

stare at us? "

Zi Junrui smiled: "My sister has made a lot of money."

Zi Xu looked sideways: "What are you doing?"

"That... can you make a rooftop for offering sacrifice to the sky?"

"Oh, how much does it cost?"

"About a million taels of silver."

Zi Xu thought for a while: "I see, just let the national treasury allocate

funds.

When the grain statistics come out, I will send the gold to the treasury. "

"Thank you sister!" Zi Junrui smiled.

Zi Xu stretched out his hand and twisted his nose: "The rooftop for offering

sacrifices to the heavens is a symbol of the emperor. Get it right. Envoys

will come and be visited in the future."

Zi Junrui nodded: "I know, so the budget is so high."

"Well, I'm going back first. I also have to count the grain there, otherwise

the household department can't get it out."

"Good!" Zi Junrui nodded.

When Zi Xu left, a court lady came in with tea.

He whispered: "The emperor is so accommodating to the princess, shouldn't she

give all the gold to the treasury?"

Zi Junrui gave her a faint look: "Do you think all the gold should go into the

treasury?"

The maid said immediately: "Yes, the servant girl feels that everything

belongs to the emperor and she shouldn't hide it privately."

"But the national treasury can't bring out so much grain. I can't confiscated

all the grain she planted."

The lady's eyes rolled: "Could it be the land in the world, and she has no

fief, so the existing land should be yours."

Zi Junrui glanced at her: "That's right, you go down."

"Yes!"

The maid left the royal study room.

Zi Junrui ticked the corner of her mouth and began to check the memorial.

Before Zi Xu left the palace, he copied the eagle. This time he copied five of

them at once.

To avoid damage later.

Tian Tian entered the puppet and flew to the valley with Zi Xu, where the

grain was harvested three times a year.

The only disadvantage is that all system seeds are used in the later stage,

and they cannot be seeded.

This is also to speed up the preparation of filling up granaries across the

country.

It's just that this time I have to make a lot of it for the Sky Screen Nation.

After receiving the inventory, Zixu went to check the livestock, which seemed

difficult to transport.

After several days of preparation, the Envoy of the Heavenly Mage Kingdom

couldn't wait.

He came to the palace and spoke to the little emperor.

When Zi Xu entered, he saw the man who was with the Princess of the Tianmu

Kingdom smiling that day.

Zi Junrui saw Zi Xu as if he saw a savior: "Sister, please tell him how much

food you have prepared." I was annoying.

Of course, the latter words were not said, but Zi Xu understood in seconds.

"The food is ready, I didn't count the meat because it was difficult to

deliver.

But at present, the food that can be allocated is less than 72 million taels

of gold, so I will refund you the extra money. "

The messenger did not expect that the princess did not count him on the food,

but gave him a very fair price.

After discounting the money for food, Zi Xu returned him 10 million taels of

gold.

The messenger calculated carefully, and the amount originally estimated that

80 million taels of gold could be bought was not as much as it is now.

Although they lost 8 million taels, they still have 10 million taels in their

hands.

Before the messenger left, Zi Xu invited Zi Xu to dinner, and Zi Xu happily

went.

The messenger picked up the wine glass: "Princess, thank you for your

generosity."

Zi Xu smiled and said, "I'm not generous, don't you think these grains are

more expensive than the market price?"

The messenger smiled and said: "I looked at the grain. The quality is better

than most grains on the market. It should be more expensive."

Zi Xu shook his head: "You are not expensive in quality. You are expensive

because the food belongs to our country. To come to your country is to go

abroad.

This requires tariffs, understand? "

"tariff?"

Zi Xu nodded: "Well, in the future, other countries will add some taxes when

they buy things from our country.

Similarly, the things your country sells to our country can also be taxed. "

The messenger didn't understand: "But why is this? Don't tax, isn't the

communication between the two countries very good?"

Zi Xu smiled and said, "We have specialty products in every country. Would you

like to send them to other countries at a reasonable price?

When you go back, you can discuss with the emperor of your country to see how

the tariff will be handled. "

"This... we have not set up tariffs."

Zi Xu looked at him seriously: "Many businessmen go to take away cheap

domestic goods in exchange for other things.

At this time, the treasury will not receive any money.

But when tariffs are set up, it is different. They have to send money to the

treasury while doing business. "

The messenger slapped his thigh: "Well, I didn't expect this benefit.

I understand, thanks for the princess. "

Zi Xu smiled and said: "Your country has a lot of precious wood, which our

country does not have.

There are many plains in our country, and there will be more and more grains

in the future, so we can exchange for what we need. "

The messenger nodded: "I understand that I will mention this to the emperor

when I go back."

Zi Xu smiled and said, "But there is one thing I want to remind you. It takes

a long time for a tree to germinate to become a fruit.

My advice to you is to cut down one tree and replant one, and the cycle will

continue, and it will never dry up.

Otherwise, if you only cut down and do not plant, the mountains will soon

become bald.

As a result, the soil and water will not have the root system of the big tree

to hold on, and the rain will cause mudslides.

This is still a small matter. Without the trees, what should your children and

grandchildren do? "

The smile on the messenger's face disappeared, and after thinking for a long

time, he said, "It turns out that it is because of this. We have never

understood why the good mountain collapsed."

Zi Xu didn't speak, the stakes were clearly stated, and it was their business

whether to do it or not.

I hope they will not do things like fishing and burning forests and hunting.

The messenger stood up and gave a deep salute to Zi Xu: "Thank you, princess,

your words are very important to the people of our country."

Zi Xu smiled faintly: "It's good if you understand. Although our Dashang has

just stabilized, we are not afraid of things.

So these are not showing weakness, but making friends.

If there is war, many people will suffer.

Our emperor is kind and can't bear to make the people suffer, so I

deliberately confessed that one more friend is better than one more enemy! "

The messenger certainly understood why Zi Xu said that. She was telling

herself that these words were not to please, but to make friends.

At the same time, he was also telling him that it is not that no one proposed

to take the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Heaven!
