Chapter 111: Renew the covenant

In the meeting hall, Wu Yueyao's tired eyes finally showed a trace of joy.

She took the risk to cross the sea, and there were few people around her.

After landing, she was still bitten by the enemy. After paying a huge price,

she finally got a confirmation answer.

"Then when can we go to Yuancheng?"

The Miko can’t wait to ask.

She has already inquired that the capital of Qiguo is called Shangyuan.

Ning Wanjun appeared embarrassed after a moment of silence, "Father has left

this matter to me to deal with, so we don't have to go to Shangyuan."

Good acting! Xia Fan sighed inwardly.

He couldn't tell whether the embarrassment was because of this matter or

because he changed the sage he used to be his father.

"Not going...Shangyuan?" Wu Yueyao couldn't help being taken aback.

"Let's put it this way, Daqi and Yongguo are not the same, especially in

foreign affairs. Even if I go, the Ministry of Ritual is at most responsible

for the reception, and the officials of Gyeonggi are destined not to care too

much about Jinxiacheng. Here Ning Wanjun feels more embarrassed, "If I

remember correctly, Equestria is in a disadvantageous situation in this war,

right?"

Mayyao bit her lip unconsciously, "It is true."

"Then Dongsheng may overwhelm your country in the future and become the new

leader on the other side." Ning Wanjun secretly pressured, "According to the

habits of those old guys in the Ministry of Rites, they are more inclined to

wait for you to decide the level before considering the covenant. It’s just

because I can’t get used to their style of vegetarian meals that I convinced

my father to let me handle it. You don’t have to worry about private salt—the

people above don’t care about Jinxia City, I care about it."

The princess has the upper hand in her momentum.

The most important thing is that she has truly grasped the key of the other

party.

In May, there was a moment of silence, "May I ask, if the covenant is signed,

when does your country plan to take measures to prevent illegal salt?"

"The signing day is the action day." Ning Wanjun said without hesitation.

"Please allow me to discuss with my subordinates..."

"It's okay." The princess gave a soft smile.

Just as Wu Yueyao, Xiaohong and others lowered their heads to whisper, Ning

Wanjun secretly blinked at Xia Fan, and the confidence on her face was clearly

discernible.

Although this matter is disadvantageous to May Harao, after all, they have

something to ask for, but being able to make full use of their own advantages

is also a talent in itself.

In terms of political ability, San Gong is significantly higher than May Yao.

Xia Fan even sympathized with the witch.

Only at this time, binding the interests of Equestria to Jinxia is absolutely

beneficial to Jinxia.

The other party’s discussion soon came to fruition.

"Your Royal Highness, we are happy to sign a covenant with you, but we still

hope to be certified by the court."

"Of course, there will never be fewer processes that should be required,

including signing, recording, and giving back." Ning Wanjun was clearly

prepared.

This calm attitude also made Wu Yueyao much more relieved, "Then there will be

Your Highness."

The name witch is equivalent to a disguised recognition of the relationship

between the two parties.

Ning Wanjun raised her mouth, "In that case, let's discuss the details now."

With the main direction, the process is just another form of bargaining.

When Qiuyue put on the third set of candles, the rough covenant was basically

settled.

Heima Kingdom is willing to tribute two million taels of silver, 1,000 pearls,

and a few other specialties to Daqi every year in exchange for Qiguo’s asylum

and the right to trade.

Emma’s foreign envoy is based in Jinxia, and Jinxia will also send envoys

across the sea to further deepen bilateral ties.

This means that the evil horse has been recognized by Qiguo, and its enemy

Dongsheng and other vassals have become the unorthodox faction accordingly. In

addition to banning private salt, this matter is probably what the Great Miko

wants most. After all, Mingzhengyanshun is highly valued in this era. If news

of Evil Horse's re-establishing relationship with the mainland dynasty

spreads, the reputation of the rebels will inevitably be greatly affected.

And when the princess proposed to use salt as the main gift, Wu Yueyao

immediately agreed.

Even judging from the other person’s expression, he felt a bit surprised.

Dongsheng can use salt to win over other princes, and Xie Ma can also use salt

to differentiate each other. Even as a pure commodity, salt has great value.

For Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, the most direct benefit of the covenant is that

they can receive a stable income every year.

Although two million is directly less than 80% compared to the amount of ten

million liang, compared to the huge eternal country, they only occupy one

city, which is already a huge sum of money. Especially when the princess does

not have the right to tax, a stable income channel can greatly alleviate the

financial pressure on her administration.

As for the terms of trade rights and dispatching messengers, these terms seem

to be superimposed, but Xia Fan knew clearly that their significance was not

at this time, but in the future. Therefore, he insisted on adding the word

"mutual" to similar agreements.

Finally, he also proposed a population migration treaty.

means to encourage residents on the other side to settle in Daqi, and the

government will not restrict this.

Princess was obviously unable to understand the meaning of this clause for a

while, but she did not notice too many problems literally, and because of her

trust in Xia Fan's frequent subversion of common sense, she did not express

objections on the spot.

Mayyao is even more so.

Manpower in this era is rarely regarded as a precious resource.

More often, the non-agricultural population and those without permanent

property are often regarded as a burden by the rulers.

Perhaps in the eyes of the opponent, this is more like an agreement in favor

of evil horses.

After the signing of the covenant, both parties breathed a sigh of relief.

"The next step is to let the Wang Family stop." Ning Wanjun squeezed her

finger bones, "Do you have any good ideas?"

He Gui first spoke, "The minister thinks that maybe we can call Wang Yian over

first and check his tone."

This is the first time Xia Fan has seen the other party

speak~www.mtlnovel.com~ It turns out that her staff is not a display.

"I don't think it's right," Xu Sanzhong, the head of the guards, objected.

"His Royal Highness is not valued in the eyes of the Wang family. I am afraid

that such a temptation can only get the opposite result. The humble post

believes that they must first let them know His Highness's determination and

methods, and beat them. Will work."

"You are not going to do something against the Wang family first, are you?

This is not on the battlefield."

"It's just two family members, not Wang Yi'an himself."

"Everyone said this is not the border!"

"The principle of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger still works."

Ning Wanjun tilted her head to look at Xia Fan, "What about you, do you have

any opinions?"

Xia Fan curled his lips, "Both of them are very reasonable. It's better to

neutralize each other."

"Oh? How to neutralize?"

"Use his power to take the knife." He spread his hand, "I think the Donghai

Gang has contributed a lot to the Wang family's ability to control the private

salt channel. But this relationship cannot be put on the table, even if the

Donghai Gang is uprooted. The Wang family has no place to avenge. What's more,

there is the shadow of Dongshengguo behind this gang. It is reasonable to

eradicate them. I think there is no more suitable target than this."

Ning Wanjun chuckled softly. This proposal was obviously right to her

appetite, “Yes. It’s good. The demon confuses the crowd, how can you tolerate

it. This action will be led by your command.”
