Chapter 1691 Doubt
However, the matter of trade between the two countries still needs to be discussed, and Prince Zilun has already lost because of the competition with Chu Heng. It seems that it has no effect. Chu Heng's request is also simple, just a peace contract. Come on, if he loses, he loses, and he won't give people a good impression.
If he goes back now, if he can't come up with some achievements, he may not be able to get the right to control the trade between the two countries. If he can't get this right, he will be making a wedding dress with others from the beginning to the end. How much benefit the caravan brings, presumably These princes of the Beirong royal family will understand better.
After all, Beirong is not a big Chu. Every prince of Beirong has the power of his ancestors and raises private soldiers. To raise soldiers requires money. Where does the money come from? Except for the people in Beirong who love to savagely plunder, but if they can have The caravan earns money on a regular basis. Who can resist such a good thing.
Prince Beirong looked at him deeply.
Qi Shangshu was not in a hurry, but was eating slowly.
Prince Beirong squeezed his fist, and after a while, he answered him: "Master Qi is so confident that he can get the right to trade?"
"With you, on the premise of our cooperation, it is easy to send someone to sit in this position." Qi Shangshu understands that the two are mutually beneficial, especially with the marriage between Princess Wei Saiya and King Qi, outsiders will only think The two are together. At this time, the most beneficial thing for the two is to choose to cooperate.
Qi Shangshu knew the arrogance of Prince Beirong, and after being calculated by himself, he felt resentful, so he has been reluctant to see him to discuss this matter. Of course, the most important thing is that Prince Beirong wants more benefits.
Qi Shangshu has always been able to bend and stretch. He didn't go up against Chu Heng at the beginning because he knew that there was no need for him to have such an enemy, especially once he did it in private, but the loss was not small. He even let Huo Zhengming enter the household department. He fought against all courts and entered the cabinet.
So, when he learned that Chu Heng did not strive to cooperate with Prince Beirong, he decisively chose to act. The previous series of invitations were just to achieve his goal.
Prince Beirong snorted, and his face became serious, "The things you said can only help me after I succeed."
"So, we can only be regarded as a half cooperation now. The king is not satisfied with the things in this contract. As for how to cooperate, it depends on when you are sincere."
Prince Bei Rong finished speaking, stood up, smelled of alcohol, looked at King Qi again, turned and left.
The sound of heavy footsteps disappeared, and the door was closed again.
King Qi sat on the chair, his face flushed, he didn't speak, just looked at the food on the table silently.
Qi Shangshu was in a good mood. Although Prince Beirong didn't agree directly, the other party's reaction happened to prove that he could only choose this way, and he believed that the cooperation between the two would be a matter of time.
"My lord, you did a good job today." Qi Shangshu patted him on the shoulder.
King Qi's eyes flashed a dull emotion, "Those are indeed from my heart."
"I know you're angry that my uncle didn't tell you, so I'll count you and Princess Wei Saiya, but if I told you, would you go?" Qi Shangshu looked at him fiercely, with scrutiny and disapproval in his eyes.
A look of pain flashed in King Qi's eyes: "You have already hurt the other party with such calculations. At the same time, I also doubt that someday you will."
