Chapter 443: Hard to Defend
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head helplessly, his facial features tangled together, take a look, do you have a habit of being peeked at or something, don't you know what you look like?
I want to keep staring. The key is that I have a lustful heart but not the courage.
As the old saying goes, there are only two endings for a cowardly guy: either he goes in or he goes out.
Young Master Liu really wanted to stare intently and figured it out. The second ending was to go into the sky prison, and it was the kind of Qiu Houwenzhan.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here to discuss border trade with Your Majesty. As for other ministers, they have the right to remain silent, right?"
The Queen nodded playfully and sat back down, her two jade hands entangled together.
"That's right, Mr. Liu really doesn't have to say it. I didn't force Mr. Liu to reveal the method of casting Mo Dao. This time I only discussed with Mr. Liu the issue of border trade."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Queen would want to know the craftsmanship of the Mo Dao if she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Liu Mingzhi, who was in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, thought deeply and thought deeply. He would definitely not be able to withstand the torture of the interrogation.
But Liu Mingzhi has never been able to play with the Queen. He didn't understand the Queen's subtext just now. This time I only talked about the issue of border trade. Next time, whether or not we talk about it next time is my business.
The Queen gently put the wine glass under her lips and took a slow sip: "Master Liu, you might as well continue eating. I am very satisfied with the issue of border trade you just mentioned, and I also believe in Dalong's sincerity. I agree. .”
"The ministers are full, the ministers are full. Since your majesty thinks there is no problem, just put your majesty's seal on the document, so that the ministers can go back and reply."
Wiping the grease stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, Mr. Liu took out the documents he had already prepared from his arms and gently opened them on the desk. There were fifteen contracts on them, all of which were about the principles of border and mutual market management of trade. .
The Queen's phoenix eyes gently glanced at the document that Master Liu put on the desk and smiled lightly: "I am still a little unfamiliar with some of the dragon's words. Could you please Master Liu to recite it for me?"
"Okay, I will read it to Your Majesty."
Young Master Liu grabbed the document and moistened his throat.
"Trilateral Customs and Trade Treaty."
"First, the three countries send officials to jointly manage the border trade. They do not interfere with each other, do not invade each other, and progress together peacefully."
"Second, business matters must adhere to the principle of fairness and justice, and the price of goods should be disclosed. The fluctuation should not exceed 10% of the market price. Anyone who maliciously interferes with commodity prices will be banned from entering the border trade for life."
"three.........."
"eleven........"
"How many steps can the Eight Ox Crossbow shoot?"
"Seven hundred and fifty........."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empress with a gentle smile on his face with a depressed expression. He had been on guard but failed to guard against it. He would subconsciously answer the question if he was interrupted by someone's question when he was concentrating. This was everyone's instinctive reaction.
Except for people with professional training who can resist such sudden and challenging inquiries, it was obvious that Young Master Liu was not such a specially trained person, so he subconsciously answered the Queen's question.
The corner of his mouth twitched again and again. Liu Mingzhi wanted to slap the document on the desk and cursed angrily. He didn't do that.
"I just said it casually. I don't mean anything else. Mr. Liu should continue to read the contract for me."
"Yes, Bong Chen knows."
"On October 1, regarding the security issues of border trade, the three countries each dispatched 10,000 soldiers to jointly protect it. There is no limit on the type of troops."
"twelve..........."
"15. Officials stationed in various countries shall not interfere with the goods traded by merchants. As long as the goods leave customs, they can be traded. Officials shall not hinder normal trade in each other's markets in any name."
Liu Mingzhi placed the document on the table and pushed it in front of the Queen: "Your Majesty, this is the fifteen-point contract drawn up by Dalong. It is fair, just and open. Your Majesty can review it. If it is meaningless, you can stamp it. Seal."
"Don't worry, mutual trade between the two countries is a first-class matter. I have to discuss it with the civil and military ministers of the DPRK." The queen gently collected the documents and put them on the table beside her.
Young Master Liu became anxious: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this contract. Your Majesty can just decide by yourself. How can the officials of the Kingdom of Jin refuse something that benefits both sides?"
"Well... Master Liu's words are wrong. As a king, you must pay attention to what you say and don't arbitrarily judge the world."
"Here, your majesty, can you give me a time limit? If the negotiation continues, will my minister have to wait forever?"
"Three days, I will give Master Liu an answer within three days."
"Well, in that case, I won't stay any longer and take my leave."
"Wait a minute."
"His Majesty?"
"Master Liu, now that we've finished talking about the border trade business, can I actually talk to Master Liu about other things?"
"What are you talking about? About falling in love?"
"Huh?" The queen looked at Liu Mingzhi confused, not knowing what he meant.
"It's nothing. Bong Chen is outspoken and can't help but speak a sentence of his hometown dialect. It's okay that Your Majesty doesn't understand. I wonder what issues Your Majesty wants to discuss with Bong Chen?"
The queen stood up and stretched, looked at the confused Liu Mingzhi and clapped her hands gently.
Suddenly, noisy footsteps sounded around the quiet hall, and then the sound of the hall door opening came in.
Liu Mingzhi's expression changed, and he looked at the Queen who was standing upright in slight panic. No way, could it really be the Hongmen Banquet?
You don't play like this, you just fall out with each other. It was clear that the discussion just now was quite harmonious.
"The internal affairs order Shuangyue to attend your majesty."
"Admiral Sidu Tong Hui'er attends His Majesty's visit."
A woman's voice came from outside the gauze.
The Queen tied her hands behind her back: "Come in."
"According to the order."
Young Master Liu frowned and turned around to look, his face immediately turned strange, and he couldn't help but mutter what the Queen was up to.
Shuangyue led the way and one after another fifty or sixty young and beautiful women walked out from behind the gauze, all of them were very beautiful, and their clothing and services were of various types, including orchids from the Western Regions, grassland women, Han women, and Jin Kingdom women.
Under the leadership of Shuangyue, they lined up in two rows and stood aside in silence?
Then Admiral Si Hui'er led a group of guards and walked in carrying ten boxes, and stacked the boxes, both large and small, next to Young Master Liu's right hand.
Listening to the heavy sound of it falling to the ground, you can guess that there must be heavy items inside. Young Master Liu guessed that it might be items such as gold, silver, and jewelry.
Queen Liu Mingzhi looked strangely confused as she stood there.
I couldn't help but think of a sentence I read before. A woman asked a man how he wanted to die. The man replied: "I want to die happily."
Gently glancing at the fifty or sixty young and beautiful young women standing aside, Liu Mingzhi sighed silently. Isn't this girl planning to let herself die of pleasure?
As for the Queen's purpose, Young Master Liu also had a clear idea in his mind. Most likely, she wanted to bribe her. The reason was because of the new equipment such as the Mo Dao and the Eight Bull Crossbow.
Otherwise, the Queen would not have unexpectedly asked her two questions about the Modao Eight Ox Crossbow.
Although he understood, Young Master Liu still looked at the Queen pretending to be stupid: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
The Queen smiled calmly: "Master Liu is a smart man, why should he ask questions knowingly?"
