Coupled with Huang Qiong's relative relationship with King Anxi, he could be considered one of his own at a 30% discount. Although Duan Jin looked mature and prudent, he was actually very evil and very similar to his emperor. He was even more covetous than his father, who was even more pretentious. Seeing Nangong Mei dragging Fan Peng into the negotiation, Duan Lin immediately thought of asking Huang Ruifeng to be her helper. But although Duan Lin was brave, she looked down on the other girls of the Duan family. But she was somewhat in awe of Duan Jin, her aunt.
Although he thought about it deeply, he never dared to find anyone. But when she really can't find anyone, she insists that she can lose anything, but her momentum cannot be weakened. Finally, he mustered up the courage and ran to Duan Jin to stalk him. He even said that the Duan family must not lose even if they lose. Not knowing what method to use, Duan Jin finally agreed to let Huang Ruifeng, the second son of the emperor, help her take charge. Originally, Huang Ruifeng didn't want to get involved at all when it came to his younger brother, whom he had just met.
But in the end, after Huang Qiong said that this matter was also a kind of exercise and a test of his patience and wit, he had to bite the bullet and join in. As a result, the two children started out as bystanders. But when it comes to negotiations, the quarrel between two women who look noble and behave like everyone is also a headache. Huang Ruifeng didn't care about Duan Lin, a cousin who had rolled onto the same bed with his emperor a long time ago, even if she acted like she was rolling around.
But Fan Peng felt distressed. His mother, who was usually quite aristocratic and looked like a well-educated mother, actually acted extremely rudely. Gradually and proactively participate in negotiations. Fan Peng's fate aroused Huang Ruifeng's interest again. So, I don’t know when it started, but the people negotiating became two children. When Huang Qiong heard the news, her interest surged. He often participated in negotiations between the two children, and was even extremely considerate by providing a map of the Western Region.
After each day's negotiation, Huang Qiong would also comment on the two children respectively. Point out where they went wrong during the negotiation and suggest areas for improvement. As a result, with Huang Qiong's participation, although the atmosphere of the negotiations was much improved, it was also somewhat delayed. Compared with the two women Nangong Mei and Duan Lin, the two children behaved calmly during the negotiation. Although I was a little impulsive at first, even immature. But both children grew up quite quickly. During the negotiation, he became more mature and steady.
In the end, Huang Qiong simply asked the two daughters to withdraw and let the two children talk on their own. But after hearing Huang Qiong's request, the two girls who had just ended their relationship with Huang Qiong had expressions of disbelief. Nangong Mei, who was nestling next to Huang Qiong, said softly: "Is it possible? Although Peng'er has received strict education from his grandfather since he was a child, he is not yet fourteen years old after all. As for the Fan family's power in the Western Regions, although I have some control, but it is far from complete. The affairs of the Western Regions are related to half of the Fan family’s future. Should I leave them completely to him? "
Even if it was his biological son, no one would be at ease if the relationship that determined the future of the Fan family was handed over to a child under the age of fourteen. Nangong Mei here doesn't let her son go. Duan Lin, who was nestled on the other side of Huang Qiong, was also worried about her cousin. Although he lived in the palace during those days, because he was a member of Duan's family, he had some understanding of the temperament of the second son of the emperor. I know that kid is very sinister. But if the future of Anxi Palace is also left to him, how can Duan Lin feel relieved?
However, Huang Qiong pulled aside Yuan Baoer, who was just watching the fun, because he was worried about the two girls. After forcing his head down, he was in front of the two girls, doing evil while being indifferent. He smiled and said: "You two, don't underestimate those two boys. The education they received since childhood makes those two children not easy to use. They are not like you two adults, and there are often other things involved in the negotiations. Things. The intention is simple, just to represent one side. Therefore, they will do better than you."
"Besides, this kind of thing is a kind of experience for both children. Although Peng'er has received a good education since childhood and grew up in an environment dominated by businessmen. But after all, he is still very immature and has not participated in practice. As for Feng'er , I will give them important responsibilities in the future. And at their age, in terms of the responsibilities they will bear in the future, they should have reached the age of directors. This incident is the beginning of their real experience. At the age of fourteen, in Ordinary people must learn to share housework with their parents."
"Besides, aren't I still behind the scenes controlling the whole situation? As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry. Don't worry, I will be on equal terms between you and will not take sides. You don't want to Angry, my friendship with you is a personal relationship. But this matter is a public matter, and I will ultimately give priority to the interests of the court. However, I will also make some concessions on certain things. As long as you two treat me and Be loyal to the court and treat me well, I will not treat any of you badly."
Huang Qiong's words made the two women just sigh lightly, and neither of them said anything. But Yuan Baoer, who was bowing his head to serve, curled his lips and raised his head, saying to Huang Qiong: "Tsk, you are a hypocrite. You can solve the problem with just one sentence, but you have to do it for your sake. The interests of the imperial court have caused two women, or the families behind them, to kill each other without knowing it. Thanks to you, you still boast that a bowl of water is equal. You are too hypocritical. .”
After hearing Yuan Baoer's words, Huang Qiong and the two girls were a little bit dumbfounded. What kind of women are Nangong Mei and Duan Lin? His shrewdness is definitely not inferior to that of any man. Even if he knew, Yuan Baoer's words were not entirely wrong. But what the two women know better is that the overall situation cannot be changed. How can we strive for greater interests for the family we represent? This is crucial. In other words, each must weigh the pros and cons and achieve the best result within the framework designated by the court.
This woman hasn't figured out what's going on, so she's talking nonsense here. Although Yuan Baoer did it for the good of the two of him, it was really a bit naive. Compared to the two girls who were dumbfounded, Huang Qiong was the one who was very angry with this woman. He dragged Yuan Baoer over and slapped Yinpen several times. Then, regardless of Yuan Baoer's beautiful face, he resisted desperately and entered the wind and rain again. It wasn't until Yuan Baoer's voice turned into pleading that he finally let go of her and turned to Nangong Mei.
After the two adults stopped participating, although the progress of the negotiations was a little slower, it was also much more stable. The two children talked for a whole month before the negotiation was finally settled. The Fan family gave up their power in the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Region. When the Anxi Palace used force against various towns in the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, the Fan family no longer came to help. The Prince of Anxi opened the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and allowed the Fan family to purchase a specified amount of land to grow cotton. At the same time, the Prince of Anxi exempted the Fan family's cotton workshop from any taxes for three years.
As compensation, the Anxi Palace will allow the Fan family to give priority to the new lands they conquer in the Western Regions. When the jade produced by the Fan family in Congling Yumai was transported to the mainland. The Prince of Anxi reduced the commercial tax by 50% and allowed the Fan family to form a guard team to protect the Fan family's farms at the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the jade vein mine in the high mountains of Congling. Ordnance was provided by the Anxi Palace and the Fan family purchased it at market price. However, the Fan family can recruit Uighurs to open up wasteland, but when forming various escort teams, they are not allowed to recruit from the Uighur tribes.
Although this negotiation was conducted within the broad framework given by Huang Qiong. But the details were basically discussed by the two children themselves. Regarding these details, Huang Qiong didn't care much about who made more concessions between the Fan family and the Anxi Palace, or who took advantage. Because these things are matters between Nangong Mei and Duan Lin. As for this result, although the Anxi Palace made more concessions, it was mainly due to more concessions on taxes. But compared to the tax concessions, the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the old land of Khotan are real benefits.
Even though the Anxi Palace made concessions on setting up a bodyguard for the Fan family, to Duan Lin, that little bodyguard was nothing compared to their 100,000 cavalry. Compared with the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, with the strong financial support of the Fan family, those generals who are almost semi-independent are the most important things that the Anxi Palace needs to solve. If these people are not dealt with, the Anxi Palace, which is surrounded by enemies from both sides, will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the Chiagasi people. Compared to the Fan family, those ambitious generals were their real worry.
As for the Fan family, although they finally gave up their power in the Western Region, they were able to reach out to the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, which they could only withdraw from due to the strength of the Anxi Palace. Moreover, in the Western Region, where taxes are extremely heavy, the Fan family takes advantage of being able to get so many tax-free privileges. After all, the Fan family is a businessman, and everything must be based on profit. And Nangong Mei also knew that Huang Qiong would never agree if the Fan family did not give up the bribed generals. Since you can only give up, then save some more benefits.
So, for this result. Both Nangong Mei and Duan Lin were very satisfied. After this negotiation, both children have matured a lot. However, neither Nangong Mei nor Duan Lin knew. The two children, no matter how much they look like little adults, are still far inferior to adults in terms of experience and real patience. This kind of negotiation where every penny is worth is the result of Nangong Mei and Duan Lin, who grew up in a famous family, and their daily behavior in their respective families can be described as full of noble ladies.
She is often forced to behave like a crazy woman, not to mention two children who are far from mature? During the negotiation period, these two children sat there and negotiated honestly during the day. At night, when no one is around, he often uses fists and kicks to solve problems. And venting the dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, the two of them had an agreement that no one was allowed to hit them in the face. Although one of the two children comes from a wealthy family, he has inherited the unique skills of the Fan family. One mother is a great master and has learned a lot of martial arts.
But since he was a child, he was dragged by his grandfather to study literature and business. One is often taken by Huang Qiong to study and learn to deal with some things. Learning martial arts itself is something that requires perseverance and the ability to endure hardship. No matter how smart or talented a person is, if he doesn't study hard and practice hard, it's all in vain. Although he is not too young, he has not had much time to learn martial arts for so many years. In particular, there were too many distractions, so even if the martial arts skills of the parents or family members were not low, the skills of the two children were far behind compared to their parents.
The two children turned their depression during the day into a fist fight at night. Just like Nangong Mei and Duan Lin, they put all their depression during the day into going crazy with Huang Qiong at night. The two children are mature and stable during the day, but they are violent at night.
