Before things even started, Qi Xiaotong drew a tempting pie.
The King of Korea was full of anticipation, and his heart was even more itchy.
Seeing that her appetite was whetted, Xiaotong then brought up related matters: "Although my little sister has lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time and is far away from the Central Plains, she still has heard about what happened in the north. I was surprised to learn that the ambitious Fusang country had tried to Encroaching on the territory of your country. Fortunately, everyone in your country united and defended themselves vigorously, thus preserving the foundation of the country."
After hearing this, the King of Korea said with anger still lingering: "Fusang thief, his crimes are so heinous, I wish I could drink his blood alive and eat his flesh alive, in order to avenge my people of Korea!"
However, when the words changed, he sighed sadly: "It's a pity that our navy in Goryeo is not capable of going to sea. Otherwise, Gu Dingran would send his troops to the east and kill him in a river of blood!"
It can be heard that although it has been a long time since the incident, this king still cannot bear to mind the national humiliation.
His anger was no less intense than the rumored hatred of seizing his wife.
Qi Xiaotong smiled and said: "Those who know the king will share your worries; those who don't know the king, what do you want? I, my little sister, am the one who knows what you want. Korea's lack of ocean-going capabilities is mainly due to the backwardness of its ships. Caused by this. Although the current turtle ships are very strategically targeted, their hulls are too small and cannot withstand strong winds and waves, so they cannot cross the ocean. You have no ships available, so you can only hope and sigh."
Although he was exposed in front of his face, the King of Korea could not express his anger at all.
This matter is known to the whole world, even if you don’t admit it, you have to admit it.
Goryeo just couldn't defeat Fusang.
In the face of insufficient strength, any form of sloganeering or expression of determination is self-deception and deception.
The gap must be faced squarely.
Qi Xiaotong first nodded sympathetically, and then said: "In order to relieve Your Majesty's worries, I, Dahua, are willing to help. Today, I formally make a commitment to you and am willing to sell some large-scale timber to your country for construction. Big ships are needed.”
"Is this true?" King Goryeo's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he asked excitedly.
"If the king doesn't believe it, we can sign the relevant sales contract immediately!"
"That's great! Come here quickly and get some pen and ink!"
The King of Korea strikes while the iron is hot and does whatever he says, leaving no time for Xiaotong to regret.
As long as a piece of paper is signed in black and white, the matter will be settled.
Qi Xiaotong didn't show any restraint and signed his name readily and neatly.
The King of Korea took it even more seriously. Not only did he sign and name it, he also stamped his country's seal on it.
In order to prevent Dahua from going back on his word, he also read out the document in front of all the officials to increase the circumstantial evidence of his testimony.
At this point, Jin Liufu, who was watching from the side, breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Xiaotong did not lie, and he really brought good news to Korea.
As she said, this matter was indeed a win-win situation, as Goryeo strengthened its navy and Dahua made money.
complement each other.
As for his motive, it was naturally a deliberate show of goodwill, hoping that Korea would treat Li Hongyu well.
Otherwise, there is really no need for her to be so proactive.
For Qi Xiaotong, the intensity of this matter was just right, which not only created a strong atmosphere of diplomatic relations but also guided public opinion to the greatest extent, which was very satisfying.
This is not a deliberate boast on her part, but an indisputable fact.
First, there was a warm and solemn ceremony to welcome the guests, and then there was a grand state banquet. Finally, the King of Koryo announced the military cooperation between the two parties in front of all the civil and military officials. Big news of this level cannot be suppressed. .
In fact, this is indeed the case.
In a short time, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys, and everyone knew about it.
Even a beggar sleeping on the roadside can tell you a story.
And what Qi Xiaotong wanted was exactly this effect.
As for what kind of disturbance this effect will cause, it remains to be further observed.
Who to observe?
Who else could have reacted, naturally, the Fuso people.
It's still early for this matter, so let's put it aside for now and just talk about Huang Fei's next series of operations.
According to Qi Xiaotong's instructions, he took advantage of the state banquet to make friends with many Korean politicians in the wine shop.
Not familiar?
It doesn't matter, won't it develop a relationship after two drinks?
At worst, let’s throw in some goodies to tempt them. In this way, wouldn’t we become close buddies?
In the face of interests, no one can remain unchanged, and Goryeo officials are no exception.
Like China, once the relationship becomes familiar, it is natural to move around.
So, after the banquet was over, Huang Fei immediately took the gifts and started visiting.
The main purpose this time was to persuade the King of Korea to learn to smoke; and the secondary purpose was to take the opportunity to find out where Li Hongyu was imprisoned.
The former is a top priority, while the latter is a long-term plan. The priorities are still very clear.
At the first stop, he specially came to Jin Liufu's house.
The Grand Master wanted to just deal with it and get over it directly, but after seeing the large number of gifts he brought, he put on a friendly face.
After a few words of greeting, he was welcomed into the living room.
"I have been ordered by President Qi to pay my respects to the Grand Master. It's just a small gift, but it's not respectful. I hope you'll accept it with a smile."
"The president is so polite! Since it's hard to refuse such kindness, I will be disrespected!"
After putting down the gift, Huang Fei mysteriously took out a cigarette from his arms and said, "This is a cigarette for the king. I took advantage of the supervisor's inattention and secretly kept it." I got one piece. Now, I will forward it to the Imperial Master, and I hope you will appreciate it and appreciate it."
"This..." Jin Liufu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his heart was filled with waves.
In his subconscious mind, loyalty to the emperor and love for the emperor still hold great weight.
However, if I accepted this withholding gift, wouldn't I be indirectly extorting something from your Majesty?
But if you don't accept it, you will be insulting President Qi's face, so what should you do?
Huang Fei seemed to have guessed Jin Liufu's concerns, so he explained to him: "Everyone who sees a good thing should have a share of it, how can it be monopolized by the king? The national master takes it, and feels at ease, so why worry about it?"
"Furthermore, cigarettes are fast consumables. You only need to light them up and smoke them afterwards, and all the evidence will be lost. No matter how wise the king is, he will not be able to detect the clues. In this case, the Imperial Preceptor is still What’s there to worry about?”
Too!
This thing is not an antique. It is sitting in a storage room waiting to be inspected. It only takes a twitch of the mouth to turn it into a pile of ashes.
Who can find the evidence?
Thinking of this, Jin Liufu smiled with relief and said: "In that case, I will accept it with peace of mind!"
