The other three looked at Xia Fan in surprise, probably because he did not
expect that he would refute the decision of the Princess at this time.
Ning Wanjun stood up suddenly, winked at Xia Fan, and then walked outside the
hall.
The scene was silent for a while.
Xia Fan seemed unaware, and followed the other party out of the meeting hall.
As soon as she arrived at the door, the princess suddenly lost her temper, "Do
you know what tribute means? It is not a unilateral tribute. You have to give
an equal or higher standard in return! First of all, say yes, I don’t The
covenant will be handed over to the six, this matter must be led by Jinxia
City."
"I think so too."
"Then why do you insist on maintaining the relationship a hundred years ago?"
The princess was puzzled, "With our current ability, how can we get the same
amount in return?"
"The Evil Horse Nation that was besieged by the princes may not be able to
draw out these ten million liang. The details can be discussed later, but once
the tributary relationship is interrupted, it will be difficult to renew it."
Xia Fan said bitterly. If you want to sit on a larger territory in the
future—"
"Huh?" Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows.
"I mean if." He emphasized that he was assuming, "Which ordinary state
exchanges can bring the benefits and prestige of a tributary country? People
don't care about it now because they want us and wait until civil strife.
Pingding, do you think they will still be so impatient?"
"Unexpectedly, you don't know anything about diplomacy." Ning Wanjun gave him
a meaningful look.
"I know a little bit." Xia Fan didn't pay attention to the other person's
eyes, "Besides, we don't even have to give back any gifts, at least one thing
they urgently need."
"What is it?"
"Salt," he replied.
"So that's the case." Ning Wanjun thought, "Since the kingdom of Dongsheng
mentioned by the maiden can use salt to win over other princes, then Equestria
should also do. Moreover, the value of salt is high, but it can be worth a
part of the silver, provided that you It can be produced, and in addition to
meeting the monthly quota, there is still a small amount left. In other words,
can your so-called salt production method be twice that of the Wang family
with the same manpower?"
"Hundred times."
"That's okay-wait, what did you say!?" The princess suddenly widened her eyes.
"Hundred times, conservative estimate." Xia Fan repeated, "Of course, the
early stage may need to explore because of process problems, and the
efficiency will not be too high, but even so, as long as the scale goes up,
100 times is a conservative statement."
"Are you sure?" Ning Wanjun felt a little incredulous even if she thought the
other party was a listener. Hundreds of times is equivalent to putting in the
same amount of manpower, the salt production of Jinxia alone can meet the
needs of Qiguo, and there is surplus. The reason why the court wanted to take
out salt for the franchise was nothing more than the huge tax and profit in
it. If there is a way to double this one hundred times, it would not be an
exaggeration to say that it is invaluable!
No...the priceless and inaccurate, she found that she couldn't think of any
words to describe the value of this matter.
"Yes, but there will always be a lot of problems when turning ideas into
facts. I need to experiment to figure out more accurate figures." Xia Fan
thought for a while and felt that this statement should not be an
exaggeration-after all, Jinxia City's Production is severely limited by
firewood, and his method uses the sun. The difference between chemical energy
and atomic energy, a hundred times should be an extremely conservative
statement.
"This method... can I understand it?"
"Of course, it's actually using—"
"Stop!" Ning Wanjun suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
"Your Highness?" Xia Fan said vaguely.
"When the meeting is over, you can tell me alone. Remember, no one except me
can disclose it-otherwise you may bring a murder."
……
Back at the meeting hall, Ning Wanjun seemed to change her attitude, without
seeing the resistance she had previously, with a smile at the corner of her
eyes, "The covenant you mentioned may not be suitable for the situation a
hundred years later. We can talk about it after we confirm it. Talk about the
details, but in principle, we are willing to inherit this relationship."
The other three retainers were stunned.
They had never seen a princess so easily persuaded.
The atmosphere of the next meeting was quite harmonious, and it was probably
because of the promise of Qi Guo's upper management, that Wu Yueyao's
expression became much more relaxed.
Xia Fan took this opportunity to directly bring up the topic of "Monsters for
Life", which aroused everyone's surprise again.
He Gui is even more impossible to whisper.
"If this is the case, how could the Privy Council not know? Do they have to
deceive the world on this point?"
Ning Wanjun pondered for a long time, "If the demon came from life, will there
be similar alien species in the offspring of the beast?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Yueyao gave the answer directly, "As far as I know, there
are. And many."
"Then what do they look like?"
"The so-called Jing belongs to this type of alien species. At least one
hundred years ago, the practitioners called it that way."
Xia Fan suddenly remembered that Li seems to have mentioned this
classification, but there is no relevant record in the literature in the Privy
Council.
"The appearance of the spirit is difficult to generalize. It is unspeakable
and has the ability to sense breath. If it is born of a beast, it is usually
brutal and bloodthirsty and feeds on humans." Wu Yueyao said in detail. It's
like humans taming beasts."
"In that case, I may have seen a fine." Ning Wanjun suddenly said
~www.mtlnovel.com~ Where is it? "Xia Fan asked.
"When I was young, a merchant from the Western Regions arrived in Shangyuan
City and presented a two-headed parrot to the sage, saying it was a rare and
exotic animal."
Two heads, still alive! This is definitely a major discovery in biology.
I just don’t know if there are actually six-legged crocodiles and lizards, Xia
Fan thought.
"and after?"
"It seems to be cooked by the second prince." Ning Wanjun wrote lightly.
"..." Everyone was dumb.
In this harmonious atmosphere, the first bilateral meeting can be regarded as
a successful conclusion.
After waited, the princess took Xia Fan to a small room without windows.
"here is……"
"In the secret room of the palace, the conversation here can not be heard by
anyone." Ning Wanjun locked the door, and then sat down in front of him, "I
will confirm again. The method you said will not cause the listener to lose
consciousness or even change. Got insanity?"
"Huh?" Xia Fan was a little suspicious of his ears for a while, "Why did your
Highness say this?" It's just a salt-making process, so why is it involved in
insanity?
"This... just in case."
He looked at the other person for a long time, and saw that she didn't seem to
be joking, so he shrugged and said, "Don't worry, as far as I know, it will
only increase your knowledge and will not make you crazy."
"Okay. Then tell me." Ning Wanjun took a deep breath, as if she had made up
her mind.
Xia Fan simply ignored her weird behavior, "In fact, it is not complicated to
understand. The purpose of boiling salt with seawater is to remove water and
condense the salt again." He explained it as popularly as possible, "This
method is just to use wood, The charcoal thing was replaced by the sun."
