After a while.
A set of exquisite porcelain bowls and plates appeared in front of everyone, shining under the bonfire, attracting everyone's attention.
fine!
Even in the Imperial Palace of the Sirius Empire, there is no such exquisite porcelain.
Huyan Hua'er's beautiful eyes shone: "What a beautiful fish!"
"King Huangzhou, what kind of fish is this?"
"goldfish!"
There has never been a goldfish on this continent, so Huyan Hua'er, as a princess, doesn't know him either!
"So cute!"
Huyan Hua'er's beautiful eyes were shining: "Where can I get this kind of fish?"
"Can you take this princess to see...your goldfish?"
"confidential!"
Huyan Hua'er rubbed her little tiger teeth cutely: "What can you say?"
"It's not a confidential matter!"
Huyan Hua'er bit her red lips with her teeth, staring at Xia Tian's handsome face, with a cruel expression on her face, so cute!
at this time.
Emperor Sirius stared at the porcelain this time, his eyes shining: "Such exquisite porcelain was also made by the little king of Huangzhou?"
"yes!"
"What did you use to burn it?"
"confidential!"
Emperor Sirius also felt Princess Hua'er's frustration: "You want to sell these porcelain to the west?"
"yes!"
Xia Tian took out a map and placed it in front of Emperor Tianlang. He pointed at the simple map to the west of Yinshan Mountain and said: "To the west of Tiandiao Prefecture is the Fairy Country, and further west of the Fairy Country is the Endless Desert. There are many desert empires in it. , there is endless gold and treasure there.”
Emperor Sirius narrowed his eyes: "You mean, you want to sell this fine wine and porcelain into the desert?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xia Tian continued: "Your Majesty should know that those desert empires are very rich and have endless gold and jewelry, but they are still in the pottery age."
"If I can produce a large amount of porcelain and sell it into the desert through Tiandiao State, I will definitely make gold!"
"With this gold and silver, we can buy food from those rich empires and survive this year's famine!"
Emperor Sirius's eyes narrowed and became smaller: "You sell the things and earn the gold. What benefits can I get?"
Xia Tian threw out the bait: "Every time the Huangzhou caravan passes through Tiandiao State, it will hand over 10% of the tax to His Majesty!"
"How much silver will there be at one time?"
"Ten thousand taels!"
“How many caravans cross the border in a year?”
"At least four times a month, at least fifty times a year!"
Emperor Sirius' eyes shone brightly: "In other words, just by letting you cross the border to sell porcelain, you can still pay taxes of five hundred thousand taels a year!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, the taxes paid by various places in the Sirius Empire in a year are only five million taels!"
"Five million taels of silver is the total tax revenue of two to three states of the Sirius Empire!"
"Your Majesty, as long as you withdraw your troops and let me make porcelain in Huangzhou, you can earn five hundred thousand taels of silver a year by collecting transit taxes. Why not?"
"In this matter, you don't have to waste a single soldier or shed any blood, you just sit on the ground and collect money...how about it?"
Emperor Sirius was noncommittal: "How much profit can you get from selling porcelain?"
Xia Tian held out three fingers: "About 30%!"
There is plenty of good clay in the wilderness, and there are also 50,000 prisoners of war working for free. The cost will not exceed 10%. Even if you pay 10% of the tax to the Sirius Empire, you will still have 80% of the profit left.
However, Emperor Sirius cannot know this.
Because there are only eternal interests between countries.
Emperor Sirius was very interested in silver and said domineeringly: "I will charge a 20% tax on the porcelain that crosses the border!"
Xia Tian pondered for a moment: "Deal!"
Emperor Sirius added: "No matter what goods cross the border in your wilderness state, I will collect 20% of the tax!"
Xia Tian agreed: "Okay!"
"However, Your Majesty must ensure the safety of the Huangzhou caravan!"
"make a deal!"
"Little King of Huangzhou, I still underestimated you."
Xia Tian said sincerely: "Your Majesty thinks highly of me!"
"The land in the barren state is sparsely populated and has many mountains. It has been war-torn for twenty years. It's destitute and destitute, and there's nothing to eat!"
"Now, I just want to earn some money, so that there will be no war in the wilderness, so that the people in my fief can have enough food and clothing!"
"No other ideas!"
Emperor Sirius nodded and said: "Huangzhou has been plundered by the Aguda family for twenty years. People and resources have been robbed long ago. It is true that they want people but no one and nothing!"
“Even if a place like this has enough money, it can never prosper without the efforts of several generations!”
Speaking of this, Emperor Tianlang said meaningfully: "Little King of Huangzhou, I heard that your father is very unhappy with you, so I sent you to such a vicious place to die!"
"Do you still want to be loyal to such a father?"
"Is Daxia like this worth your life?"
"But I'm different!"
"I admire you very much!"
"As long as you come to my Heavenly Wolf Empire, I will marry Duo'er and Hua'er to you, and let you stay and fly in Tiandiao Province for three nights and live a life like a god. How about that?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am from Daxia!"
"My heart is the heart of Daxia people!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Emperor Sirius looked regretful: "You are so stubborn!"
"Little King of Huangzhou, now, can you give me a jug of good wine to satisfy my craving?"
Xia Tian then said with an apologetic look: "General Bai, why don't you give your majesty some wine?"
"Is this the way to treat guests?"
"You're so rude, I'll punish you by copying "Xia Li" a hundred times when you go back!"
"yes!"
Bai Feng looked well-behaved and quickly brought an iron wine bottle and put it into the ice bucket next to the Sirius Emperor.
Emperor Sirius: "..."
Huyan Hua'er quickly filled the bowl for Emperor Tianlang, and took the opportunity to pour a glass herself and drank it quickly!
Suddenly.
Her pretty face was filled with blush, like a ripe red apple, so charming!
The wine brewed by this evil man is so spicy!
After Emperor Sirius had a drink to satisfy his craving, he said: "I've finished drinking, let's talk formally!"
Finished!
Huyan Heilang handed over a piece of white paper with the conditions for the Sirius Empire to withdraw its troops written on it!
Xia Tian took it and took a look, his face was ashen: "No!"
"This is absolutely not okay!"
Emperor Tianlang slapped the table and shouted: "Little King of Huangzhou, this is my bottom line. If you don't agree, then don't blame me for sending troops into Huangzhou to destroy your Huangzhou and Daxia!"
"I no longer force you to join the Sirius Empire as a pledge!"
"However, Daxia must pay ten million taels of silver to compensate me for my losses!"
"I have to come up with a princess to get married, so that I can reach this level and bring honor to my Sirius Empire!"
"There's no need to talk about this matter!"
Xia Tian also slapped the table and shouted back: "Impossible!"
"Even if I die, I will never agree to marry a princess!"
Emperor Sirius leaned forward, glared angrily, and shouted louder: "Okay!"
"I will help you, and now I will send my troops into the desert, chop you into pieces, steal your princess, and destroy your desert state!"
Xia Tian did not give in at all: "Come on!"
"I'll kill your princess's sacrifice flag first. The worst that can happen is that the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
The two of them glared at each other and drank a glass of wine at the same time. Under the influence of alcohol, they had a disagreement and started fighting!
The wind is full of fighting spirit again!
Under the river, a golden figure began to loom...
