"What you said is indeed true, but if the Northern Desert comes out in force, your Zhongzhou will not be comfortable under the flames of war." It is obvious that Tuoba Hong does not want to be coerced by Liu Qingge at all.
"I think His Majesty Tuoba has misunderstood. What I want is development through peace. Bilateral trade is beneficial to both of our countries. Furthermore, our conversation is not coercion, but just mediation between the two countries." Liu Qing The song answered very calmly.
"Mediating? Yes, you do have some skills. It's no wonder that Emperor Song Ming insisted on you being the princess. You do have this ability. In order to maintain long-term peace and stability on the border between China and North China, you can actually come up with such a way to trade. Don't be afraid. Will I, Beimo, regret it?"
"The construction of the Great Wall will take about three years if it goes well. If we can exchange trade for three years of peace, it might be a good thing for the Northern Desert." Liu Qingge replied.
"Three years? If Zhongzhou builds the Great Wall and regrets that it will no longer attack our Northern Desert, won't our situation in the Northern Desert be even more difficult in three years?" Tuoba Hong immediately thought about the pros and cons and looked at Liu Qing Ge's eyes became a little colder.
"Your Majesty, what our Liu family wants to do is not the business of one country in the Northern Desert, but the business of the whole world. If we don't keep our word even to the Northern Desert, our Liu family won't need to negotiate any business with the world."
"Talk about business with the world? Your Liu family is so loud." Tuoba Hong sneered.
"Why, our Liu family has already negotiated the Southern Qi Dynasty. If we trade with the Northern Desert, there will be only one Eastern Emperor State left in the four directions of China. Your Majesty Tuoba, do you still think I am just talking big words?"
Tuoba Hong has known about the trade between Zhongzhou and Southern Qi for a long time, but Southern Qi is now a neutral country, and it is not surprising that it can trade with Southern Qi. However, it is different in Donghuangzhou. The hatred between Donghuangzhou and various things is no better than that in Zhongzhou. The hatred between him and Bei Mo was shallow.
"I don't know if it's a lie or not, but now even if you convince me, it will be difficult to convince the people of the Northern Desert."
"Three days, your majesty, please give me three days. I will prove to your majesty that I can do it." Liu Qingge said with confidence.
Tuoba Hong curled his lips and smiled: "Well, I'll give you three days. If you still can't do it after three days, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"It's a deal."
"You have no joke."
Liu Qingge bowed and then stepped back.
Tuoba Hong's indifferent eyes flashed with a hint of brightness.
"stop!"
Liu Qingge was just about to return to his tent when he was stopped by Tuoba Yuanyu. He looked at Liu Qingge arrogantly, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and a cold air leaked out from his body.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince." Liu Qingge bowed.
"What did you say to my father in the tent just now!"
"First Prince, do you want to know?" Liu Qingge raised her eyebrows and smiled, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
Tuoba Yuanyu looked at Liu Qingge's beautiful eyes and was stunned for a moment.
He himself found it incredible that he was staring at a man without taking his eyes away!
And this man is still the person he hates the most right now!
Damn, how could he have such an idea? This damn Zhongzhou man must be playing some trick!
"Don't tell me!" Tuoba Yuanyu's hand clamped on Feng Qingge's neck for an instant, but he let go instantly.
The smooth neck of this Zhongzhou native is smooth and delicate, and the so-called Adam's apple does not have the heavy feeling of a man's Adam's apple at all.
His hand touched it, and his body immediately felt charming. He looked at Liu Qingge in shock.
"Ahem—" Although Tuoba Yuanyu had loosened his grip just now, he obviously still used force when he held her neck. She coughed and glared at Tuoba Yuanyu for a long time without saying a word.
At this time, how could Tuoba Yuanyu not know that Liu Qingge was a woman?
He looked at her, a blush flashed across his face and said, "Are you okay?"
At this moment, Cuiliu and Qingshu had protected Liu Qingge behind them and looked at Tuoba Yuanyu with hostility.
Liu Qingge turned her neck. There was a bright red handprint on her white neck. She covered her neck and sneered: "The eldest prince is joking. I will strangle you to death and ask you again, okay."
"I -" Tuoba Yuanyu looked at Liu Qingge, a little at a loss. Now that he could no longer look directly at Liu Qingge's face, he could only say bitterly: "It's my fault, I didn't know you were a girl."
Ding——!
Liu Qingge's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and she didn't care about arguing with Tuoba Yuanyu and ran away as if running away.
Only Tuoba Yuanyu stared at Liu Qingge's leaving back, stroking his fingers back and forth, as if feeling the softness just now.
After returning to the camp, Cuiliu asked carefully: "Big shopkeeper, your identity."
"Tuoba Hong already knows."
"What should I do?" Qingshu was anxious.
"It's okay. I have this identity, but it means more to Beimo."
"Big shopkeeper, I'm not telling you, is this feasible for trade with the Northern Desert?" Cuiliu frowned, with distrust in his eyes.
"Do you think it's not feasible to trade with Bei Mo?" Liu Qingge asked.
"Now that we have won the war, it is okay to trade with Bei Mo. After all, it is my Liu family who went to trade, not the people who were killed at the border. But we have lost the war here in Bei Mo. Do you think Bei Mo will want to cooperate with us? ?”
"It's not a matter of thought, this is something that must be done. If we don't exchange food with our Liu family, how long do you think the Northern Desert can last like this? Although the Northern Desert is vast, most of it is frozen soil, and the food is not Basically, we live on dried meat every year, and as soon as winter comes, people will starve to death." Liu Qingge sighed.
To her, ordinary civilians in the Northern Desert just want to survive, but most of the time the people in the Northern Desert have no choice.
"Big shopkeeper, what are your plans?"
"What else can we do? Bring the food to exchange with Bei Mo."
"It turns out that the big shopkeeper has a plan for a long time." Cui Liu finally understood why Liu Qingge insisted on taking the caravan with him when he first came to Bei Desert. It turned out that he had already planned this.
"Of course, the sooner we can prepare for these things, the better."
"But they don't have food, so how can they exchange anything with us?"
"Why not? Although there is no food, they have enough furs and war horses. These are the things we lack. Besides, the Northern Desert is rich in ice jade. As long as it is processed properly, we can bring these things back to Zhongzhou."
"Miss, are they really willing to trade meat for food?"
Unlike the Northern Desert, the most lacking thing in Zhongzhou is meat. Rich places like Shangjing and Yangzhou are fine, but like some poor places in Zhongzhou, it is rare for a family to have enough to eat.
Although the civilians in the Northern Desert don't have enough dried meat, the nobles in the Northern Desert still have a lot of livestock.
Although poor people do not have enough dried meat, every household has livestock.
