Do you still want to do it?
Even Qin Wei, who didn't understand business, could tell that for Tubo, this was a completely loss-making business.
Any businessman would not agree.
However, unexpectedly, Ma Tengteng did not refuse directly.
He was thinking quietly, and Liu Qi was not in a hurry, just sitting there drinking tea minding his own business.
After about half an hour, Ma Tengteng suddenly raised his head.
"Your Highness, I have thought about it, and I, the Tubo, are willing to cooperate with you."
Could this be the Tubo man who is known as the best businessman in the world? He didn't even ask why.
Although he thought about it for a long time, he answered so happily that he agreed directly.
Looking at Liu Qi again, there seemed to be no surprise on his calm face, as if he had already guessed that Ma Tengteng would answer like this.
"Very good, I really did not misjudge you."
"But your father's piece..."
Ma Tengteng smiled.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. As for my father, I will naturally find a way to convince him. I just don't know when the deal you mentioned will be implemented?"
"At the same time, since you said cooperation, how should we cooperate with Daqing?"
Who said Ma Tengteng was stupid? In two words, the focus of this time was shifted to Daqing.
His purpose is also very pure. Tubo can lose money and make money, but at least it is based on making money in the future.
Although the prince said that he would not let them go to waste, for Tubo, this is a huge expense and must not be just a talk.
"Don't worry, after our cooperation this time, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer."
Although Liu Qi did not express his position directly, he made it clear in his words.
You should work hard. If you do well, I, Daqing, will give you this opportunity to cooperate. If you don't do well, then this will be the last cooperation.
"As for the implementation time, the sooner the better. If you think it's ok, I will start tomorrow. I don't have any objections."
My thoughts have been made very clear, I'm anxious, you can figure it out yourself.
Ma Tengteng's answer was also extremely straightforward.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, since I, Tubo, have agreed to this deal, I will definitely not let you down."
To put it in plain English, don’t worry, I will handle this matter for you when I get back. Not only will I handle it, but I will also handle it beautifully for you.
Then, under Ma Tengteng's greeting, an attendant walked in.
After Ma Tengteng's introduction, he said that this was one of his right-hand assistants. If the prince had any instructions, he could contact him.
Everyone thought that this matter was over.
But the prince suddenly asked.
"Ma Tengteng, there are some things that maybe I shouldn't ask, but I am really curious about it. They say that in all the countries, there are commercial properties of your Tibetan people, and these commercial properties are all under your management. Do you want to get off?"
Ma Tengteng smiled and shook his head.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for being too high. Most of my commercial properties are in some neighboring countries. How can I have such great strength? It is said that I have all the commercial properties of Tibet in my own hands."
Liu Qi nodded and didn't ask any more questions about this matter.
At this point, this important conversation was over. Liu Qi immediately asked Qin Wei to summon the boss here and personally ordered a table of sumptuous meals...
...
Time passed by, and before anyone had time to react, it was already the beginning of winter.
Unlike other places, winter in the north is very cold and windy.
It is no exaggeration to say that just by spitting, it has already turned into ice cubes in mid-air before it landed on the ground.
At this time, Liu Qi was sitting on a chair, warming the stove in the room.
Even though the fire was burning brightly, Liu Qi could still feel the slightest chill coming down his spine.
In these ancient times, it would be great if there was heating. When we look back, labor and capital must invent one.
"Your Highness, you are right. Your Majesty's order has not come down after all. Just now, Li Shouting left Pingcheng with several soldiers."
Liu Qi nodded.
"General Bai, Lu Liang, do you have any news?"
"Not yet."
"However, after inquiring, I learned that the Huns have now begun to sell large quantities of sheep to South Korea. That Ma Tengteng is really fast in doing things. In such a short period of time, there has already been movement."
Liu Qi was also slightly surprised.
I thought that this matter would have to wait until at least next month to start. What I didn't expect was that it was already underway.
"Okay, send a secret agent to keep an eye on what's going on in South Korea. If there's any news, report it to me in a timely manner."
Just when Qin Wei was about to speak, Zhao Wenhui walked in furiously.
"Your Highness, a letter has arrived."
Liu Qi raised his eyes and took a look, good fellow, this time, three letters came directly.
The first one I opened was from Zhang Dehai.
The content of the letter stated that the emperor's condition had not recovered yet, but the early dynasty was still under the auspices of Yang Wenyuan.
The difference is that now Prince Su is also involved in the government affairs. I heard that there are some decisions that Prince Su will directly reject if he feels it is inappropriate.
Now, it can be said that the court is divided into two factions, one is Prince Su and the other is Yang Wenyuan. The two faced each other tit for tat, neither giving in to the other.
In addition, the eldest prince returned to the court again, saying that the emperor personally summoned him back.
The war between the Liang Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom has basically reached a fever pitch. It is understood that it will be over in less than half a year at most.
The most important thing is that the Qin State sent envoys, saying that they wanted to get closer to Daqing, and were even willing to be Daqing's vassal state. At the same time, they were willing to pay tribute to Daqing during every festival.
The emperor was very satisfied, and the ministers also gave the envoy the highest courtesy...
When he saw this, Liu Qi narrowed his eyes.
"Qin State..."
Zhao Wenhui asked doubtfully.
"Your Highness, what happened to Qin?"
Liu Qi didn't hide anything and told them directly.
Qin Wei chuckled.
"Your Highness, what's your expression? The Qin State came all the way to me and professed its vassal status to me. Shouldn't this be an extremely happy thing?"
Zhao Wenhui also followed suit.
"Yes, your highness, although I heard that the Qin country is relatively poor and is a small country among the other countries, but since they came to Daqing and acknowledged their status as ministers, it shows that they are still very aware of current affairs. You should be happy, right?"
Liu Qi sneered.
"Happy? I can't be happy at all, am I? Do you know who is coming to me this time to bow to me in Daqing?"
Qin Wei and Zhao Wenhui shook their heads one after another and heard the prince say two words.
"Shangjun!"
