"Cao Bin is overbearing, insidious and cunning. He can't even get an advantage when he blackmails you. You..."
Seeing that Wu Yijishan looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand, Brother Wei Mingwei was a little doubtful and a little unconvinced at the same time.
Seeing him doubting himself, he was not upset even if he didn't move mountains. He stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"If King Wei Ge doesn't believe it, you can give it a try tomorrow."
"Ji Shan has a secret message to the king. As long as the king informs the envoy of Song Dynasty, he will be able to immediately make him give in."
At this time, Wu Yijieshan performed the image of a master to the fullest. If he was given another feather fan, I am afraid he could immediately transform into Zhuge Liang.
Brother Wei Mingwei said in surprise:
"Just one sentence? This..."
Before he could finish speaking, Buyijieshan smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt that if this matter fails, Junshan is willing to send his head."
Seeing how confident he was, Brother Wei Mingwei suddenly became suspicious. Is it really possible?
Seeing this, Bu Yijie Shan felt secretly happy.
He came to offer his plan because he received orders from Cao Bin. With the cooperation of the Song Dynasty, how could the result go wrong?
It doesn't matter what Brother Wei said to Ambassador Song. What matters is that the result will frighten Brother Wei Ming, making him think that there is no plan left until all mountains are moved.
As long as he accepts this plan, there will be more calculations to deepen this impression on him and make him completely trust Wu Yijishan.
And he would not have thought that Cao Bin would compromise on such a huge benefit just to let Mu Yijishan gain his trust.
In fact, the price concession was part of the plan, in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible and let Junshan gain Brother Wei's trust. It was just a matter of hunting down rabbits...
After proposing his plan, he said goodbye and left without moving anything or staying any longer.
Before leaving, seeing Brother Wei Mingwei still looking thoughtful, Bu Yijiu Shan secretly laughed in his heart.
"You are still a little younger after all..."
Thinking like this, he was a little dumbfounded:
"If we didn't hide the siblings, it wouldn't be worth the effort."
He has the inheritance of Chen Deng and has a lot of experience in looking at people.
If some people do not hide their lies, even if they can be frightened, they will not be able to gain their long-term trust. If they are not careful, they will be questioned again.
So both Wu Yijieshan and Cao Bin chose Brother Wei Mingwei.
Bu Zang Hei Yun could use him to balance Yipang, and Cao Bin could naturally use him to control Xixia.
Sure enough, the next day, Brother Wei had just finished talking to Da Song, and he couldn't wait to find Jishan and said excitedly:
"I didn't move the clan leader, and the Song Dynasty really gave in. They agreed to accept my green salt for 4 and a half cents."
Wuyi Jieshan's expression did not change at all, he nodded calmly and said:
"It's not what I expected, but this is not the bottom line for the people of Song Dynasty. If the king listens to me, there is still room for negotiation."
Brother Wei felt proud today. He made a breakthrough in just one day in a negotiation that had not been won by Yipang for more than half a month. This will definitely impress the emperor's wife.
Although today's harvest is not enough to conclude the negotiations, at least there is progress.
However, he still had some doubts about not moving the mountains, so he asked:
"It's just that the king is a little confused."
"Cao Bin has always been arrogant. Why are his subordinates so afraid of the words of the patriarch?"
Bu Yi Jie Shan smiled and said:
"I wonder if Cao Bin's attitude toward the king changed before and after he arrived in Xixia?"
Hearing this, Brother Wei suddenly remembered how polite Cao Bin was to him when he entered the city, so he nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, yes, yes."
At this point, he was embarrassed to describe it in detail. He couldn't say that he was almost bullied to death by Cao Bin in the Song Dynasty, so he just said:
"Or can we say...arrogant at first and respectful at the end?"
Without moving all the mountains, he caressed his beard and said with a smile:
"That's right. There are many internal conflicts in the Song Dynasty. Cao Bin is young and in a high position, so he will definitely be attacked."
"He was able to argue in the Song Dynasty, but now he is beyond his reach, so he restrained himself, at least not to let the Song Dynasty court discussion break out at this time."
Brother Wei Mingwei was speechless when he heard this. Is Cao Bin's behavior restrained now? They all slept in the palace.
Without waiting for him to explain, Wu Yijishan continued:
"The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister both have selfish motives and are not afraid of Cao Bin. Only the great prince is loyal to the country."
"Therefore, Cao Bin is only concerned about the king..."
When Brother Wei heard this, he seemed to suddenly realize it. He immediately slapped his thigh and said sadly:
"Alas, the emperor's sister-in-law was seduced by Cao Bin's male lust. She wanted to gain credit and power, but she failed in her haste and taught Cao Bin to do whatever he wanted in Xixia."
As he said that, he remembered something again, stood up quickly, grabbed Wu Yijishan and said:
"If it hadn't been reminded by Senior Wu Yi, I still wouldn't understand the meaning!"
This was the first time he knew that he was so awesome that even domineering people like Cao Bin were afraid of him.
Now that I think about Cao Bin giving way at the gate of the capital city, I feel a little sympathetic.
It's a pity that the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't know how to retaliate in her heart, which is a pity.
So he quickly asked for advice:
"Senior, if you haven't moved, are you going to continue to use this method to force Cao Bin to make concessions?"
Wuyijieshan shook his head and said:
"King Wei Ge, as the saying goes, too much is not enough, the sooner we reach an agreement, the sooner Xixia will get out of trouble."
"I have made a detailed plan. As long as the king uses my plan, I will be able to increase the price of salt by half a cent, and we can trade it in the long term."
"Besides, the Queen Mother is also urging you, so there is no point in delaying..."
Brother Wei Mingwei nodded sadly and said:
"Alas, I know this...this is all for the sake of the emperor's wife."
Seeing this, Bu Yijieshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Brother Wei as the chief negotiator, more than half of the agreement was settled.
With his cooperation, and with Cao Bin personally operating from the Empress Dowager Wu Zang, there should be no problem in reaching an agreement.
This salt price is neither high nor low for Cao Bin, but his purpose is not that, but to change the economic production structure of Xixia.
It is a foregone conclusion that Xixia relies on the salt trade to govern the country. If it is disobedient, it can immediately collapse its supply by cutting off the green salt trade.
By then, it would not have enough living materials, nor could it break through the Hengshan blockade and go to the Song Dynasty to rob. Cao Bin's people were still inside, leaving it with only one way.
In as long as three or four years, or in as short as one or two years, Xixia will no longer have the possibility of escaping.
While Cao Bin's plan in Xixia was progressing steadily, the war in Hebei was also in full swing.
Last year, after Wang Qing of Huaixi was defeated by Mu Guiying, he knew that he was no match for Mu Guiying, so he even gave up the rest of his family fortune and fled to Hebei with part of his elite to join Tian Hu.
Neither of them were peaceful people. Seeing that the public sentiment was turbulent this year, the emperor had a new funeral, and the court was unstable, they immediately called on their troops to rebel.
They were extremely powerful. They not only attacked prefectures and counties in Hebei, but also quickly spread to the west of Taihang, occupying Jincheng and Fenzhou, and even threatened Taiyuan...
