"This...this is too much!"
At this time, in the palace, almost all the ministers of the Kingdom of India had arrived.
They formed a circle and looked at the Crown Prince of Daqing with trembling eyes, writing on the paper with ease and ease.
But they didn't feel relaxed at all. The reason why they were trembling was not because of the cold in the hall, but because what Liu Qi wrote at this time was the treaty of the vassal country that they were forced to accept.
At first, everyone thought that they would just write a few articles, but what they didn't expect was that half an hour later, the prince had written an entire article, and it seemed that he had no intention of ending it.
Hearing the complaints from the ministers around him, Chaldin was startled, stared, and quickly tugged on his sleeves, using the unique language of the Kingdom of Seal.
"What are you talking about? You don't want to die!"
Seeing Chaldin's angry look, the man closed his mouth angrily. But his face was clearly filled with reluctance towards Daqing.
Not to mention people from the Kingdom of Yin, even people from Daqing looked at it and felt that the prince had gone too far.
Normally, even if you become a vassal state, the number of treaties you have to fulfill is only three or five at most. But for the prince, it seems like there are dozens of them.
"It's done!"
Finally, the prince threw away the pen and clapped his hands, his expression looking very relieved.
"Come on, come and take a look at the treaty that this king has drawn up with you. If there is anything missing, please feel free to add it!"
Hearing these words, the officials of the Kingdom of Yin gritted their teeth.
There is so much content, it’s too late to delete it, what else can I add? Unless there is something wrong with your brain!
But there is no way, they just think about it in their hearts. As a weak country, and in front of the Daqing Kingdom, they have no qualifications to negotiate with it.
Everyone immediately gathered around. Although they were reluctant, they also wanted to know how the Qing Kingdom would oppress their Seal Kingdom.
However, when a courtier who knew Daqing's script translated the contents of the treaty, everyone's faces were filled with looks of horror.
Everyone looked at Liu Qi in unison, and then at the treaty in the translator's hand.
Some even blurted out.
"Are you...sure you didn't translate it wrong?"
The minister who was the translator quit.
"I have lived in Daqing for ten years. Is it possible that I can still recognize mistakes in Daqing's writing?"
At this time, Chaldin held the treaty and walked tremblingly in front of Liu Qi.
"Dear Crown Prince of Daqing, may I ask if our ministers did not make any translation mistakes?"
Liu Qi nodded without hesitation.
"That's right, that's what it says above."
Hearing this, the Yin ministers in the palace were immediately in an uproar.
Not only the officials of the Kingdom of Yin, but also Zhao Wenhui and others were shocked by the contents of the treaty.
First of all, it says in the first article.
After becoming a vassal state of Daqing, the Kingdom of Yin could maintain its original name. In addition, it did not have to pay tribute or send envoys to Daqing during every year or festival.
This is absolutely unthinkable for any country that becomes a client state.
In this world, the name of each subordinate country is determined by the host country, which is equivalent to putting a seal on the subject country.
In addition, paying tribute and sending envoys to the host country from time to time to report on the situation and offer gifts are all rules that have existed since ancient times.
But Liu Qi eliminated all such rules.
Moreover, even the cost and compensation for sending troops to assist this time were not mentioned in this treaty.
That's all. The key is the other contents of the treaty.
At this time, a few of the most important things happened to be discussed, and they were also confirmed by Liu Qi again.
"Firstly, Daqing will help the Kingdom of Yin to build a specialized arsenal. Secondly, Daqing will send professional talents to help the Kingdom of Yin build water conservancy and cast cities. Thirdly, Daqing will help the Kingdom of Yin to strengthen the strength of the army. Combat capabilities, and Daqing will help the Kingdom of India to improve its commercial industry..."
Every time one of them was mentioned, everyone would sigh.
Everyone can't help but wonder, is this a treaty signed with a vassal country? It sounds more like a gift!
Moreover, no matter what, it is extremely beneficial to the country of India. Not only does Daqing have to pay more, but it also seems to be unprofitable.
"Your Highness, are all these things you said true?"
Jardin didn't quite believe it, so after finishing his last words, he asked again.
Liu Qi smiled and nodded.
"Of course it's true."
"but..."
These two words immediately lifted the heartstrings of all the officials of the Kingdom of Seal.
"However, although Daqing is willing to help you unconditionally, all the expenses must be borne by you yourself. Is this okay?"
Daqing is a man of talent and technology, which is a great blessing to the Kingdom of Seal.
Chaldin and other ministers of the Kingdom of Seal nodded their heads repeatedly, with smiles on their faces.
"The prince's kindness is like reinventing our country of seal. God Sha Tian will definitely bless you. Our subjects of the country of seal will always sing about your achievements to our country of seal."
As if treating his own king, Chaldin knelt on the ground with a pop, and other courtiers followed suit.
Liu Qi stood in the middle of the crowd and smiled. This feeling was simply not very pleasant.
evening. After the banquet.
Qin Wei and Lu Liang were walking in the back garden of the palace.
"Mr. Lu, I am very puzzled by something. What do you think our Highness thinks? He actually put forward so many conditions that are beneficial to the Kingdom of Seal. I still feel that it is as if we, Daqing, owe them something." It’s like the Kingdom of Seal.”
It could be heard that Qin Wei's tone was complaining.
But Lu Liang was stroking his beard and smiling again and again.
"Sir, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?"
"Of course it's not true. We can't understand His Highness's thoughts."
Qin Wei was a little confused.
"What do you mean? Didn't Mr. Lu see it?"
"Lv is just making wild guesses. His Highness's actions will not bring any benefit to Daqing in the short term. On the contrary, the benefits will be to the Kingdom of Seal."
"But in the long run, it will be extremely beneficial to Daqing. It can even be said that this is a plan that will last forever."
Qin Wei scratched his head.
"Sir, please clarify."
"General Qin, think about it, if all the industries, military, weapons, and agriculture of the Kingdom of Seal are directed and controlled by Daqing, then there is no difference between the Kingdom of Seal and the fact that it belongs to Daqing."
"Mr. Lu, can you speak more clearly?"
"In fact, in His Highness' heart, he has already regarded the Kingdom of Seal as our own place."
"Many years later, when the Kingdom of Seal depends on Daqing for all aspects, do you think we, Daqing, have made a profit? Or have we lost?"
Although Qin Wei was a general who did not understand political affairs, he was able to follow Lu Liang's words and understand something about His Highness's thoughts.
He couldn't help but think, maybe this is what the ancients said.
Conquer the enemy's army without fighting! !
...
The prince, who was being talked about, was standing by the window, looking at the night view of the Kingdom of Seal.
Zhao Wenhui asked while pressing his shoulders.
"Your Highness, you have achieved such great achievements this time. The gang of treacherous ministers in the court may not dare to target you again."
Liu Qi smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Silly girl, from this moment on, I will become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh..."
