Qi Yu's "Teach Him to Fish" has had a very good momentum-building effect.
Although it may not look like a rare treasure, it plays a very good interactive role.
Slowly, heated discussions about this matter began to spread between the court and the public in Goryeo.
However, no one thought about other aspects.
They believed that Qi Yu's overtures were completely reasonable, and his purpose in doing so was simply to signal that they should not embarrass their captured emperor too much.
This appeal is reasonable and logical.
Qi Yu's show of "weakness" made both the King of Goryeo and Jin Liufu feel more dignified. They both sighed: What kind of killing god or Thanos came to my territory, why didn't you just curl up there obediently?
Tsk tsk, it feels so good to pinch someone seven inches!
However, the etiquette aspect is still passable.
There is a saying in Chinese: If you give me a papaya, you will repay me with a pomegranate; if a bandit repays you, you will always think it is good.
Since you give me fish and meat, no matter what, I have to give you a hundred catties of river shrimp in return!
Otherwise, how can we call it reciprocity?
In addition, a few thousand-year-old Korean ginseng will be given as a gift to show our luxury and grandeur.
In this way, Qi Yu exchanged his stinky fish for the other party's generous reward.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of hypocritical back and forth is just a formality, but in fact it is not.
Mr. Qi did not give up, but continued to increase the number of gifts.
The next gift is a color painting by him, which is called "Pictures of Ladies in the Spring Palace".
There was a carrot stamp of "Mr. Xingyan" stamped on the signature place.
The King of Korea felt that the refreshing beauty painted above was indeed lifelike, so realistic that he could read it upside down. Such an alluring scent and charm are truly imaginative and refreshing.
But who is this "Mr. Xingyan"?
Jin Liufu, who claims to be a master of China, is truly extraordinary in his knowledge.
He not only told the origin of the nickname, but also explained the hidden meaning of the nickname: when pronounced together with the character Xing and Yan, isn’t it the character for Qi Yu’s reputation?
Yes, this is his unique name.
However, all of the above are not the most important.
The greatest value of this painting lies in its special meaning. If this meaning is converted into an amount, it is absolutely priceless, worth ten thousand taels of gold.
The King of Goryeo was shocked when he heard this: ***, is this painting so valuable?
No!
Jin Liufu explained: Qi Yu's paintings are rare in the world. The only ones that exist in the world are sporadic works from his early years. Moreover, most of them are collected in the palace of Dafeng. Only a few paintings are left in the market. That’s all.
Things are valuable because they are rare, so they are valuable.
Although Qi Yu is still alive, his works have reached high-level posthumous value due to the affirmation of two generations of emperors.
The statement of Wan Jin is indeed not an exaggeration.
All in all, in order to please us, Goryeo, Mr. Qi suddenly broke the seal of painting that he had adhered to for many years. This is the real value.
oh, I get it.
This gift has seriously exceeded the scope of money, and its true value is difficult to estimate.
well!
Let's give him a face and let the captured emperor Li Hongyu rest for a few days.
In addition, give him a small hair stove to alleviate the pain of farming that he is currently working as a cow and a horse.
Jin Liufu believes that these measures alone are not enough to show the importance, and a decent gift must be given in return to complete the etiquette.
However, here comes the problem.
What kind of gift can reach this level of height?
It’s a bit hard to find!
Hey, there you have it!
Wouldn't it be solved by giving him a few beauties?
Gold has a price, but a person has no price. The price of a man who can conquer a country is just enough to match his priceless value.
In this way, Qi Yu first exchanged a pile of smelly sea fish for precious ginseng, and then exchanged a colorful painting for several Korean beauties.
No matter how he calculated it, he did not suffer any loss.
In fact, the account cannot be calculated simply like this.

Chapter 1058 Sitting on the sidelines
Wherever you go, there are unexpected gains.
Take Fuso for example.
Qi Yu and the King of Goryeo had just started flirting with each other, and they paid great attention to him. Even the specific details of their courtesy exchanges were clearly understood.
"Your Majesty, judging from the postures shown by Goryeo and Qiongzhou, their relationship seems to be pretty good, and they are not plotting against each other as the rumors say. Could it be that our news is wrong?"
"It is indeed possible, but at present, it is not advisable to draw conclusions. You know, Qi Yu is very cunning and can always make you miscalculate and fall into his trap. Therefore, you must be vigilant enough to compete with him to the best of your ability. Handle it with caution and caution.”
Looking around, he found that the person who answered was a young woman.
Judging from her appearance, it is clear that she is the Fuso Bodhisattva from back then. Now she is honored as Emperor Meisho, who is like the sun god.
She came here for no other reason than to seek revenge for herself.
Because the hatred involved should not be made public, she chose to come here in a low-key manner, without even claiming to be a teacher.
Also, this action is an opportunistic one, and there is no clear set route. Since there are many uncertain factors, it can be done without publicity.
Emperor Mingzheng believed that the feud between Goryeo and Dafeng also indirectly worsened the relationship with Qiongzhou.
After all, they belong to a country. If you capture someone else's emperor, how can your ministers not have any ideas?
In view of this situation, it is unlikely that Qi Yu will pay homage to the King of Korea. What if he is captured alive?
However, since Li Hongyu was in the hands of the Koreans, it was not convenient for him, Mr. Qi, to explicitly refuse the invitation, so he most likely sent an envoy to go on his behalf.
Facts have proved that he is indeed a clever calculator, and he can guess right.
Qi Yu did not go there in person because he was cautious.
What is quite surprising is that he actually sent his daughter to negotiate abroad.
His daughter is indeed very capable and is the best candidate for the mission, but this arrangement also adds to the constraints on Qi Yu's withdrawal.
To put it bluntly, no matter how hard he attacks him, he will never abandon his daughter. At the very least, he will hold on until Qi Xiaotong returns.
In this way, the initiative fell into his own hands, and Qi Yu could only let Fuso take control.
However, what is said above has a big premise.
That is, Koryo must maintain a neutral stance of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, and cannot participate in the military game between the two sides.
If he intervenes, Fuso Kingdom will immediately change from taking the initiative to being at a disadvantage.
But now, there are actually signs of this happening. Are you worried or not?
