"What do you mean?"
Queding Tangwu frowned.
“What I mean is to open up commerce and trade, exchange what is needed, peaceful coexistence and common development.
In the past, Fengguo merchants also had trade with you barbarians, but it was all smuggling and was expressly prohibited, so the scale could not be large.
But now, our officials can encourage business. Not only can our government-run businesses be done, but also businessmen from below can do business.
Our wine, tea, porcelain, pottery, silk and other items can be transported to the grassland, and your cattle, sheep, handicrafts and other items can also be sold to our Feng Country.
You need these daily necessities, and the dignitaries of the Feng Kingdom are also very interested in your barbarian things, because they have never seen them.
We can implement some tax-free policies for merchants here, and you can restrain the tribal barbarians, ensure safety, and open trade routes.
We both do business with each other and tie our relationship with the economy. Only peace can make both of us strong. In this way, no one is willing to fight.
what do you think? "
"Okay, okay, this is good!"
Quedingtangwu waved his hands repeatedly and said,
"We have wanted to do business with you Feng people for a long time, but your Feng country is in chaos, and they all regard us barbarians as their enemies, and they are strictly guarded against us and are not allowed to do business with us.
Now that I have met you, you are so open-minded, I feel very relieved. "
"Then if that's the case, why don't we add this one?"
"Add, add, must add! Mr. Ouyang really understands justice!"
"Okay, then let's talk about the price of government-run business and other things..."
Ouyang Ming argued with Queding Tangwu about the price of Haohan wine and other items, and they haggled for a long time.
It was finally decided.
The treaty was also written on a large piece of paper.
Finally, a contract was negotiated that satisfied both parties.
Except for the compensation clause, the other treaties were all beneficial to both the barbarians and Nie Chen, and Queding Tangwu happily accepted them.
After the treaty was written, Queding Tangwu and Nie Chen signed their names respectively, with each party holding one copy.
One of them is that neither side is allowed to send troops to the other side.
Queding Tangwu smiled and put away the treaty and said,
"Master Nie, you and I will be unbreakable allies from now on. We must be mutually beneficial and help each other. If someone comes to attack you in the future, if you need anything, just ask us. We will definitely do our best to help!”
"Definitely, from now on, we will still be friends, just like before."
Nie Chen also said with a smile.
Suddenly, Queding Tangwu changed the topic and said,
"Master Nie, since you and I are friends and as close as brothers, how about we get closer to each other?"
"Oh? How come you're so close to each other?"
Nie Chen smiled.
"What do you think of the marriage?"
"Marriage?"
Nie Chen suddenly smiled. He had discussed this with Ouyang Ming before, but he didn't think it was necessary and didn't mention it. Unexpectedly, Queding Tangwu would bring it up himself.
"Yes, it is the marriage. You have also met my daughter Yanshuang. Since the last time I saw you, I have fallen in love with you at first sight. I have never forgotten you. I talk about you in my ears every day.
Even Kasu, a bastard, often makes fun of Yan Shuang, saying that he wants her to marry you.
Now that you and I are back together, why not marry Yanshuang to you, which will fulfill her wish, and you two will raise eyebrows together, what do you think? "
Hearing this, Weng Qiuchan on the side immediately frowned.
No woman is willing to share her husband with others.
Nie Chen chuckled and said,
"Big boss, I already have a wife."
Queding Tangwu frowned and said,
"So what? In our grasslands, there is no such thing as monogamy. As long as a man is strong enough, he can marry as many wives as he wants.
Aren’t you people from the Central Plains all having three wives and four concubines? Isn’t your emperor also the seventy-two concubines of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard?
This is such a common thing, and you are considered a prince now, and you may even be a king in the future. Which king is like you and only has one wife? How decent is that? "
"King Pingxi only has one wife, Sister Juan!"
Weng Qiuchan glared.
Nie Chen smiled, took Weng Qiuchan's hand, and smiled at Queding Tangwu,
"Big Chief, it is true that I may be flirtatious, and I may marry a concubine or something in the future. But, any woman in the world can do it, but your daughter cannot."
"Oh? Why is that? Do you look down on me?"
Queding Tangwu frowned and his face became unhappy.
"That's not the case, how should I put it... Her name is Weng Qiuchan. She captured me in Qingfeng Village more than half a year ago. From then on, I started on the road to making a fortune.
She likes me and supports me no matter what I do.
I build weapons, and she finds people for me.
When I went down the mountain to do some errands, she protected me and went with me.
I would lead troops to fight, and she would ride a horse and hold a bow to fight with me.
When I opened a government office, she took care of the internal affairs, taking care of every counselor, civil servant, and general, and keeping the internal affairs in order.
She has never treated me badly. On the contrary, I owe her a lot and I love her very much. "
As he spoke, Nie Chen hugged Weng Qiuchan's shoulders and smiled softly.
After hearing his words, Weng Qiuchan's pretty face turned red, and Ouyang Ming, Zhou Ping, Wang Hao, Qi Huan and others also smiled knowingly.
My lord, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he is also a good man who will never give up.
"But, does this not affect your ability to marry other women? My daughter will not steal her position as the principal wife."
Queding Tangwu frowned.
"You are the great leader of the Crown Prince, and your daughter is as beautiful as a princess. With such a noble status, how can I let others be young?
As for my wife, her father passed away. You should also know that he died in the hands of Liu Hu when he was begging for Yanbu.
She has no family anymore, she has no relatives, she only has me, and she has nothing but me.
In contrast, Queding Yanshuang, who has Queding Yanshuang as her backing, is too powerful. Compared with her, Qiu Chan is really weak and easily bullied.
Of course, I also know that getting married is good for both of you and me.
But, my wife, she loves me as much as her life and is as kind to me as a mountain. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
How could I let her suffer even the slightest grievance and be bullied by another woman? "
After Nie Chen finished speaking, Weng Qiuchan's big eyes were filled with tears. He hugged her, tears streaming down his big eyes.
Everyone behind him was moved when he heard this.
In this era, it is extremely rare for a man to care so much about his wife, and love her from the bottom of his heart, even at the expense of giving up important interests.
