In Wang Zhong's view, friendly relations with neighboring countries are commendable, but they should be based on reciprocity.
On the surface, this sand country has a good relationship with his Dayan Dynasty. The wolf in the mainland is ambitious. At this time, it's OK not to come to him for assistance. Unexpectedly, he still wants assistance.
The key is to threaten without assistance.
Isn't it clear that you also want to make a profit?
Wang Chong is not a talkative person. He has a plan in his heart in an instant.
You want help, OK, I'll talk to you again.
"Well, it seems that your people are really miserable. In that case, I naturally give you some assistance." Wang Zhong said faintly.
Some ministers on both sides showed doubts. When was the emperor so talkative?
What's more, there is some indignation. Everyone plays and makes trouble, but when dealing with outsiders, they are all consistent with each other.
The words of the Saudi emissary made the threat clear. They couldn't figure out what the emperor would do to help at this time.
"Jerusha, I don't know how many things did you bring to me this time?"
"1000 pieces of cowhide and 1000 pieces of sheepskin."
It's so special. I really treat him as a beggar.
Wang Zhong said, "well, your leader is very generous. In that case, I can't help being generous. I'll send the order and prepare to send 30000 cattle and sheep and 10 million liang of silver to Saudi Arabia to show the precious friendship between our two countries."
"This............."
Jerusha herself was stunned.
I've seen the emperor of Dayan Dynasty be forthright, but I've never seen such a forthright one.
No, it's not forthright, it's a bad pen!
My heart is happy. After I go back, the leader will reward me heavily.
But on the surface, yelusha, an old Jianghu man, showed hesitation.
"Jerusha, is there anything else to say?" Wang Zhong said faintly.
"Emperor, I am very grateful for your gift to our country, but in addition to these, several neighboring countries of our country are eyeing us, so my leader asked the emperor to send a surprise soldier to help."
Wang Chong waved his big hand, "don't you happen to have hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border? How about lending you three months?"
Yelusha was overjoyed: "emperor, there is one more thing
"But it doesn't matter!" Wang Zhong smiled, "Jerusha, don't be polite to me. The friendship between me and your leader is stronger than gold. Don't be a mother-in-law."
Yelusha said with a smile, "in fact, it's just a small matter. It's like this. In recent years, the birth rate of women in China has decreased year by year, and domestic men can't find a wife. The leader heard that all the women in your country are beautiful and gentle, so he asked me to ask whether 10000 girls can be married to Saudi Arabia
"Pa!"
Wang Chong slapped the Dragon chair and startled yelusha: "Emperor..."
Wang Chong's eyelids jumped with anger. This guy is becoming more and more licentious. Even the girl who commandeered him in Dayan Dynasty said it.
If people all over the world know this, he can be scolded by the people.
However, this is not the time to be angry.
"Jerusha, I think your proposal is very good. There are indeed many girls in our country. Well, don't be 10000. How can 10000 girls show the friendship between our two countries? 30000, if it's not enough, just mention it."
"Enough, of course enough."
Yelusha was happy in his heart, thinking that 30000 had been a lot. No matter how much more, their small sand country could not support so many people.
"Minister Jerusha, on behalf of my respected leader, thank you for the gift of the emperor and wish you prosperity for generations to come."
Wang Zhong said with a smile, "Jerusha, don't be polite to me. This is just a drop in the bucket for my Dayan Dynasty. However, I also have a few small requests. I hope your leader will agree."
Yelusha immediately said, "Your Majesty, you have given so many gifts. If you have any request, please mention it. Our country will go all out."
"Well, I'm very glad to hear what you said. I'm also fighting recently. You know, although our country is extremely powerful, it is in urgent need of war horses. Your country is a grassland country, and there are countless war horses, so if you can, can you give me some?"
Wang chongdu has promised so many good things. It's hard for Jerusha to say no. anyway, compared with this, they make a lot of shit.
So he respectfully asked on the spot, "emperor, how many horses do you need?"
"Twenty or thirty thousand, of course, the more the better." Wang Zhong said.
"Er... Emperor, I will go back and report the matter to the leader truthfully. I believe that with the friendship between the leader and the emperor, he will certainly agree." Said Jerusha.
"It's so good that it's not too late. You leave today and go back to collect the war horses. When you bring the war horses, I'll almost collect the things your country needs, and I'll take them with me when I go back." Wang chongshuang laughed and thought to get out of here quickly. If you stay here, you will waste food to receive you.
After giving thanks, Jerusha immediately took people away and returned to reply.
As soon as he left, the hall was in a mess.
Li Mingcai knelt down on the spot: "emperor! You... How can you promise so much assistance to Saudi Arabia? Our country is also suffering from internal and external troubles. How can we take out so many materials at once?"
Another minister knelt down: "Your Majesty, the gift of 30000 girls is a big trouble, which is likely to cause public anger. Please think twice."
"It's too much to help 10 million taels of silver. Now Gao Yan and Xu LVYE, two thieves, are eyeing our country. If so much silver goes out, it is very likely that our country's military pay will be insufficient. Please think twice..."
"Please think twice!"
"The emperor thinks twice..."
Looking at the kneeling ministers, Wang Chong's face was expressionless and even wanted to laugh.
He didn't explain it carefully, because there were too many people in the court, and he couldn't guarantee that all of them could be trusted. If the news leaked out, he deliberately fooled Saudi Arabia, and maybe the war horse wouldn't be sent.
So he shook his hand and said, "don't say more, I've made up my mind! Retreat."
"Retreat............"
He Taigao's high voice came out.
…………………………
"Hahaha..."
the second day.
The big rock faces the hall.
When Gao Yan heard that Wang Zhong promised to send so much aid to Saudi Arabia, he looked up and down with a smile: "nerd, it's really a nerd. At one time, he actually helped so much, and sent 50000 troops out, hahahahaha......"
"The emperor's plot is really powerful. The emperor's child of Dayan Dynasty is really vulnerable."
"Waiting for help, we just need to let out some information to let the people know what kind of emperor children they support."
"Haha, that's natural. When the time comes, I will have the support of the people. It's fate. It's just a big burning Dynasty. I can easily win it!"
"Congratulations, Emperor!"
Sand country.
After yelusha returned home to report, the leaders of Saudi Arabia were a little incredulous, but yelusha repeatedly said that this was what the emperor said himself.
The so-called golden words, the emperor agreed, basically no problem.
For this reason, he also inquired. He heard that the emperor really began to prepare cattle, sheep and silver after he returned, and even arranged for officers and soldiers to go to the countryside to ask who had a daughter to marry.
Knowing this, the leader of Saudi Arabia was overjoyed.
Although I love 30000 war horses, the benefits can be worth hundreds of thousands of war horses, which is a good deal.
"Jerusha, you did a good job. Now I order you to take our war horses to Dayan country and bring back aid smoothly."
"Yes, chief, I promise to finish the task."
Yelusha is full of confidence. This time, the leader gave him a lot of rewards because he completed his task well.
It takes a lot of time for so many war horses to come, especially a lot of food and grass along the way, which makes Jerusha spend a lot of brain.
As for Wang Zhong, these are not his business.
These days, I have been studying the landform of Saudi Arabia, because the back and Saudi Arabia are bound to turn over, so I'll just take them by surprise.
Dayan Dynasty and Haiyan Empire have been calm recently. It is estimated that they are the people who suppress the Dayan Dynasty in the territory.
In addition to these things, Wang Zhong has a more important thing, building a big ship.
The role of ships can be said to be the most important at present.
It can not only obtain necessary resources from overseas, but also allow soldiers to move quickly.
You know, whether it's Xu Luye's territory or Gao Yan's, there are troops close to the sea.
If we can strike them suddenly from the sea, we will definitely be caught off guard.
This is a secret plan. For the time being, Wang Zhong focuses on building muskets as soon as possible.
At the same time, in order to increase the number of soldiers, Wang Zhong introduced the conscripts system.
As long as there is one soldier in the family, the family can be exempt from tax for three years.
This condition is very tempting for ordinary families. After all, it is not only tax-free, but also can take money to become a soldier. Many people begin to become soldiers enthusiastically.
Recently, the expenditure of the imperial court in terms of financial resources is very large, which makes Wang Zhong really stretched, but all aspects of the plan are almost completed.
Now not only has money and grain, but also overseas trade is extremely smooth. Only waiting for the people of Saudi Arabia to rush 30000 war horses, at that time, his cavalry brigade can also be greatly expanded.
"It's time to start printing newspapers."
This morning, Wang Zhong decided to start printing newspapers.
These days, he convened many craftsmen to research and develop typesetting and printing.
The size of a newspaper is only as big as a book. After all, in ancient times, it was better to roughly record a few major events, rather than a newspaper as big as modern times.
The newspaper was named dayangchao daily by Wang Zhong.
At the beginning, the headlines were all about how Wang Chong handled the imperial politics, and how the Dayan Dynasty and the Haiyan Empire oppressed the people.
Maybe people didn't believe this before, but with newspapers, everyone believed it over time, and public opinion was instantly better for the imperial court.
"I can't imagine that the dog emperor of Dayan Chao Gao Yan is such a reputation seeker. The original porridge was pretended, but in fact, he was not like this at all."
The newspaper recorded that Gao Yan beat up several people who spoke ill of him behind his back.
"Xu lyye of Haiyan empire is not a good thing. He caught so many girls in the mansion for fun. Bah!"
"Fortunately, we Mingjun will be reborn and must eradicate these two anti thieves."
