Chen Si frowned and was secretly upset. Wanting to get benefits from Qin Feng was simply harder than reaching the sky.
"Tell me, what benefits do you want?"
This was what Qin Feng was waiting for, and he blurted it out without thinking.
"I will give you three conditions. For every one you agree to, I will give you a reduction of 30 million taels of silver."
"First, if I remember correctly, your Beidi King also has a prosperous heir."
"Sending a princess is not a big problem, right?"
"There are many princes in our harem who have not yet established concubines. When the time comes, we will send them here first. As for which prince to marry, it is up to us saints to decide."
Chen Si nodded. This matter is not difficult. Chen Si can take charge without even going back to report it.
After all, aren’t princesses meant for marriage?
Besides, there are many princesses in Beidi, so it doesn't matter if I send one or two.
Moreover, with the relationship of marriage and marriage, it will be more convenient for the two countries to get along with each other in the future.
After all, having the princess in the middle is equivalent to having a bridge of communication.
"I will accept this matter first. When I go back and report to you, the matter will be settled."
Qin Feng grinned and chuckled: "A princess is worth thirty million taels of silver, so you have to choose carefully, right?"
"Don't send me any crooked melons and cracked dates."
Upon hearing this, Chen Si was unhappy: "Brother Qin, please be more virtuous."
"How could I, Princess Dadi, be treated so lightly?"
Qin Feng laughed and continued to make conditions.
"The second thing, actually, is to ask for someone. Anyway, you, Prince of Beidi, have many children, so it wouldn't be a big deal to send a prince..."
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Chen Si interrupted sharply.
"Why doesn't it matter?"
"If you ask Liang Guo to send us a prince, do you think it's okay?"
"Brother Qin, you are not kind. The prince and the princess are not the same thing. You are a smart person, and I am not stupid. It would be unkind to set a trap in this regard!"
Chen Si reacted fiercely, which Qin Feng had already expected.
After all, due to the limitations of the times, although the princess is as valuable as the prince, her political value is very different.
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. When the princess comes, she will be the daughter of Daliang.
In any case, it will no longer be possible to easily influence Beidi's domestic politics.
But the prince is different.
Even if he is the least favored, even if he is a paralytic, lame, idiot, he is still a serious prince.
Once war breaks out between the two countries, Daliang can use the prince as a hostage.
Even if Beidi despises this prince from the bottom of his heart, he must save him, otherwise he will be unkind and unjust and will be reviled by everyone in the world.
and……
One day, when Beidi is in civil turmoil, the prince in Daliang's hands can be used as a bargaining chip to directly intervene in the Beidi regime!
He could even push this prince to a high position and completely become Daliang's puppet.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Chen, this is thirty million taels of silver. One person is worth so much money."
Chen Si refused without any hesitation: "Impossible!"
"Although I, Dadi, am at a disadvantage, I have not yet reached the point of losing power and humiliating the country."
"There is no need to discuss this matter. We would rather pay an extra thirty million taels of silver."
Qin Feng also expected Chen Si's firm attitude.
After all, asking the other prince to be a hostage is indeed difficult to come true.
Qin Feng decisively changed the subject and settled for the next best thing: "Since the prince can't do it, the prince can do it, right?"
Prince...
Chen Si was tempted. Although the prince, as a hostage, would have to be rescued once the two countries went to war, compared with the prince, it was difficult for the prince to directly influence Beidi's domestic politics.
Exchanging a crown prince for thirty million taels of silver is a deal that can be done.
However, Chen Si still hesitated: "This matter... will be discussed later."
"What's the third condition?"
Qin Feng's eyes showed a hint of treachery.
This look made Chen Si feel secretly angry, and he had a vague feeling that Qin Feng was brewing some kind of conspiracy.
Moreover, Chen Si was clearly on guard against this conspiracy, but he still jumped into it with his eyes closed.
After all... Chen Si had no choice.
"Thirty million taels, is it feasible to buy your domestic trade route in Beidi?"
Trade route?
Chen Si expected that Qin Feng would definitely use his trump card, but he did not expect that Qin Feng would be interested in trade.
"What's the explanation?" Chen Si frowned and murmured in his heart, so he could only ask without shame.
Qin Feng was also unambiguous and straightforward: "Your country in Beidi is empty, and your business has never been able to compete with my Daliang."
"But because of the feud between the two countries, there is little trade."
"Now, on behalf of Daliang, I am willing to trade with you, Beidi."
"Except for military matters, there must be no restrictions on all categories of daily necessities."
"In this way, I, Daliang, can make money, and you, Beidi, can also solve the dilemma of lack of domestic supplies."
“A win-win situation, why not?”
Win-win? Chen Si sneered in his heart. Doing business with others might be a win-win situation, but doing business with Qin Feng would result in Qin Feng winning twice.
Chen Si's heart was ringing with alarm, and he felt that there must be a hole in this matter, but Chen Si racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the hole was.
Because judging from the surface of the agreement, the opening of trade between the two countries will be of great benefit to Beidi without any harm.
Beidi itself has a huge demand for various materials, but in order to stabilize the surrounding countries, it spends a large amount of materials every year to assist other countries.
However, unlike Liang, Beidi's domestic supplies are limited after all, while the appetites of the surrounding foreign countries are getting bigger and bigger.
As time goes by, it becomes a matter of friendship and friendship...
Many neighboring countries are already full of resentment towards Beidi.
Gaoshan Kingdom is an example. Those who eat Beidi and drink from Beidi. In the end, because of the national war in Beidi, the supplies to support Gaoshan Kingdom decreased. Gaoshan Kingdom immediately turned its back and bitten Beidi.
Once trade with Liang State begins, these worries will disappear.
Only supplies are needed, without even sending troops, to stabilize the surrounding situation.
The most important point is that after the two countries started trade, Liang Guo would naturally not use troops against Beidi rashly. After all, attacking Beidi would mean cutting off his own wealth.
The great country is at peace and the surrounding countries are stable.
Chen Si thought about it and felt that this was a very good deal.
Chen Si was immediately moved: "This is feasible."
"It's just...Brother Qin, please explain to me. Apart from money, what benefits can you, Liang Guo, earn from this?"
Qin Feng shrugged and blurted out: "I only care about money."
Feeling the doubt in Chen Si's eyes, Qin Feng simply pretended not to see it, thinking to himself, can I tell you the secret inside?
As long as they start trading, Beidi's weak business foundation is no match for Daliang.
In a few years, Beidi will be attached to Daliang.
When the time comes, when Daliang makes money, he can strengthen the border defenses. As long as Beidi is dishonest, he can directly launch a trade war!
