Even though there are different customs within ten miles, the rules between countries are naturally very different.

The high mountain country has a narrow territory and sparsely populated areas, and the environment is extremely barren and harsh, so the population has always been very sparse.

Compared with the kings of large countries, they often have more than a dozen or even dozens of descendants.

Among the kings of Gaoshan Kingdom, even the one with the most children only had seven descendants.

The current king of Gaoshan was even more "eugenic and well-educated" and had only three sons and one daughter.

Moreover, due to the scarcity of supplies in the high mountain country, especially medicines, they are even more scarce.

Therefore, the average life expectancy has always been low, and there are too many cases of princes dying in infancy.

After all, these days, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy "antibiotics," and no matter how powerful you are, you can't do "internal surgery."

In fact, there is not much difference between the emperor and the people in terms of life, old age, sickness and death.

The succession system of Gaoshan Kingdom is usually a will made by the monarch.

If the king dies without making a will, the prince with the greatest merit will succeed as the next king.

The king is appointed on his merits, and there is no rule of respecting the elders and the younger.

"Your Highness Han, please come quickly."

Qin Feng hurriedly waited for Han Yuming to go to the lobby to entertain him.

Although this Gaoshan country is a small one, it still has a generation of princes coming here.

Coupled with the special relationship between Gaoshan Kingdom and Qin Feng, how can we neglect it.

When Liu Hongyan learned that the eldest prince of Gaoshan Kingdom was coming, she quickly led her servants and maids to serve him hurriedly.

Han Yuming couldn't help but be shocked when he caught a glimpse of Liu Hongyan.

"Oh my god, could this be a fairy descending to earth?"

Hearing this, Liu Hongyan smiled lightly, quickly avoided it, and returned to the back hall.

Han Yuming's eyes widened: "I, a girl from Gaoshan Country, have always been born strong, no less strong than men."

"Now that I see this girl from Daliang, she is worthy of being nurtured by the soil and water. Such beauty can bear the beauty and fragrance of a country."

If it had been left in the past, Qin Feng would have slapped the table and fallen out.

My women dare to look at it, looking for shit!

However, from Han Yuming's eyes, there was no trace of wretchedness or lust.

Just a sigh.

Qin Feng was not too entangled and quickly changed the topic: "Your Highness Han, why are you here?"

"Even if your monarch has important matters to discuss, it is enough to send a minister. Why should you, the great prince, go there in person?"

Han Yuming quickly looked away.

Although he has never seen such a fairy like Liu Hongyan, as a prince, he will naturally not be limited to women.

Besides, this girl is Qin Feng's family member, so she should be more cautious.

"What a dignified prince, not worth mentioning."

"To put it harshly, I, the prince of Gaoshan Kingdom, am not as valuable as a third-grade official of your Liang Kingdom."

"A country with a small land cannot afford such ostentation."

Originally, Qin Feng had a very good impression of Han Yuming.

When I heard these words, I was immediately filled with admiration.

You are a prince, but you don't care about your dignity, and everything is pragmatic. How precious is this quality?

As the saying goes, the children of the poor become rich early.

Now it seems that the prince of this small country is much better than the prince of the big country.

Han Yuming took out a list from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Master Qin, I come to Liang Kingdom to pay homage to you this time."

"First, it's my father's wish, and second, it's my own request. The main reason is to come and see the world."

"Nowadays, my country, Gaoshan, has frequent connections with the outside world because of Mr. Qin."

"As a prince, you should have more experience so that you can better deal with the situation."

"On this list are the goods that our country needs. Please..."

Before Han Yuming could finish speaking, he discovered that Qin Feng handed the order to Qin Xiaofu and waved his hand, signaling Qin Xiaofu to prepare.

Han Yuming couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Master Qin, why don't you take a look..."

Qin Feng shrugged, looking disapproving.

"What's there to see? Everything your country needs is for people's livelihood. It's not difficult to prepare."

"Besides, regarding my relationship with your country, not to mention ordinary things, even if they are rare treasures, I will try my best to raise them so that His Highness Han can go back and deliver them."

As soon as these words came out, Han Yuming's eyes couldn't help but shine.

Han Yuming knew very well the gap between himself and Qin Feng.

Although he is a prince, Qin Feng has been deposed as a marquis and is now just a small "Anlebo".

But with Qin Feng's strength, he can destroy the entire Gaoshan Kingdom just by talking.

However, since we met.

Qin Feng always kept a low profile and named Han Yuming the noble prince.

This respect and the open-mindedness in preparing the goods moved Han Yuming extremely.

Han Yuming couldn't help but stand up and bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Young Master Qin, you are righteous!"

"No wonder my father said that the prosperity of our Gaoshan Kingdom depends entirely on Mr. Qin."

"My father has made countless decisions in his life, but making good friends with Mr. Qin must be the most correct decision among all."

"Master Qin, don't worry."

"No matter who is in power in Gaoshan Kingdom, they must make peace with Mr. Qin for generations to come!"

Seeing Han Yuming's reaction, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel funny, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh.

In this world where strength is respected, small countries have always had little say.

A dignified prince should be cautious when going out.

You must know that even if Han Yuming died in Kyoto, Gaoshan Country was far away and weak, and would not be able to retaliate.

This is the helplessness of small countries.

Qin Feng stood up and returned the salute, then motioned Han Yuming to take a seat and asked softly.

"His Royal Highness Han came to Beijing in person this time, I'm afraid it's not just for trade, right?"

Han Yuming has complete trust in Qin Feng and does not beat around the bush.

"Of course I can't hide it from Mr. Qin."

"Now everyone knows that Liang and Di are in peace talks."

"Our country, Gaoshan, has formed an alliance with Mr. Qin's Tianji camp. Beidi already knows about this."

"As early as the end of the national war, many officials in Beidi threatened to retaliate against our country."

"And the Snow Wolf Brigade, which is good at fighting in severe cold conditions, has also been transferred to the border area of ​​our country. It can be seen that these words of revenge are by no means groundless."

Qin Feng was not surprised.

After all, Beidi, as the largest military power, naturally does not allow any betrayal.

The Gaoshan Kingdom's defection directly led to a sharp increase in the defensive pressure on Beidi's western front and became one of the causes of Beidi's defeat.

It is only a matter of time before Beidi takes revenge on Gaoshan Kingdom.

Qin Feng blurted out: "You want me to send reinforcements from the northern border."

"Or put pressure on Beidi to withdraw troops?"

Han Yuming shook his head: "None of them."

"Whether it is reinforcements or pressure on Beidi at the negotiation table, it will cause unnecessary trouble to Mr. Qin."

"After all, this peace negotiation is aimed at Daliang itself, so how can we allocate our energy to benefit our country?"

"Even if Mr. Qin doesn't care, I'm afraid the Liang court officials will have objections."

This statement is true.

It is indeed inconvenient to mention matters outside the two countries at the negotiating table.

Han Yuming said softly: "I hope that Master Qin can take the interests of Liang State as the starting point and warn Beidi not to threaten the trade route between Liang State and our Gaoshan State."
