Doting on concubines and destroying wives?Reborn to marry a traitor and take your life!

Chapter 165
"Your Majesty is an unparalleled hero, and he must be upright. With the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it would seem stingy to use an unambitious woman to marry him. How about doing something new this year and thanking someone for a big gamble with the Prince?"

Xie Yuan spoke slowly. Although his words seemed weak, his broad shoulders had a calm aura as he sat there.

When talking to such a man, Prince Bei was also a man, so naturally he didn't want to lose. He straightened his back unconsciously and thought about the meaning of Xie Yuan's words.

He really didn't care about this marriage, and he was certainly not happy to let him marry the brainless third princess of Dasheng Kingdom. Now that Xie Yuan said that marrying the third princess seemed stingy, he certainly didn't want to marry her either.

But he always felt that the Xie Yuan in front of him looked like a heroic figure, but he lacked loyalty and was as cunning as an old fox. He didn't know what evil was hidden in his belly. He must be digging a hole for himself. !
Having said that, Prince Bei couldn't help but wonder: "What are you betting on?"

He also made bets with others in Dongrong Kingdom, but even if he bet a few lives, he didn't do it with such a big tone. I dare say it was a big gamble!
Su Youyue couldn't help but look at Xie Yuan.

Just now, when Xie Yuan deliberately promoted Prince Bei and said that women are not as broad-minded as men, she felt something was strange. He was not a person who would say such things in the past.

Unexpectedly, he was waiting for Prince Bei here.

But if he didn't know something in advance, how could he easily gamble on the important matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries?

Is he afraid that he has some plans with the new emperor?That's why I happened to appear here today and meet myself...

On the mahogany table, the dishes are full of color and fragrance, and occasionally hot white steam rises.

It was supposed to be a scene of banquet, but as the two powerful men finished speaking, it seemed to be a negotiation table.

Xiao Feiyan had already taken his fancy to several dishes and was ready to eat them, but now he noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and had to endure it.

Seeing Prince Bei asking, the smile on Xie Yuan's lips became even bigger: "Let's bet on whether our Dasheng country or Dongrong country will win the martial arts competition at the martial arts field after the new year."

After the words fell, everyone present was stunned and looked at Xie Yuan blankly.

Could it be that Mr. Xie is confused?Comparing the two countries year by year, in terms of riding and archery skills, when did Dasheng Kingdom beat Dongrong Kingdom?

Hearing this, Prince Bei laughed three times, and then said contemptuously: "Is this the big bet Mr. Xie wants to make? Then our Dongrong Kingdom will win for sure!"

Xie Yuan raised his eyes: "Prince Bei is so confident? Xie hasn't said anything about the bet yet."

"What are you betting on? You dare to call this a small bet a big one. I want to see what kind of bet you are going to make."

Prince Bei's tone was sarcastic and disapproving, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup in front of him, seemingly not paying attention to Xie Yuan's next words.

This teacup contains fine Yunwu tea, which is brewed with snow water.

This snow water is not ordinary snow water. It needs to be collected within three to five days after it snows continuously. The snow on the branches and plum blossom petals must be collected. Then it must be boiled in a casserole, settled, cooled, sealed, etc. It's complete.

Moreover, snow water is the same as Tibetan wine. It is best to keep it for three to five years. The tea brewed in this way is light and fragrant, and is of the highest quality. A cup of tea costs ten taels of silver.

The monthly expenses of an ordinary family of four in Yanjing City are only about two taels of silver. With one sip of this drink, Prince Bei consumed half a month's expenses of ordinary people.

Xie Yuan looked at his rude actions and seemed to be unconcerned. He just said: "If our Dasheng Kingdom wins this year's martial arts competition, Dongrong Kingdom will cancel the marriage and reduce tariffs for five years." "If Dongrong Kingdom wins, , the marriage matter remains as usual, our Dasheng Kingdom is willing to reduce tariffs for 20 years, plus the entire Liaodong pasture is free of charge for Dongrong Kingdom to use for 20 years."

Before Prince Bei could swallow a sip of tea, he suddenly coughed. He vomited the tea everywhere and even choked himself.

But he didn't bother to clean himself up at all, but immediately stared at Xie Yuan with a pair of big black eyes: "You, what did you say?"

The people from Dongrong Kingdom behind him were even more surprised.

Although Dongrong Kingdom is usually more powerful than Dasheng Kingdom and Nanlin Kingdom, when trading with these two countries, they do not exempt the two countries from all tariffs, but the tariff is only half that of Dongrong Kingdom.

If the tariffs can be reduced or reduced for 20 years, then maybe the trade deficit between the two sides will allow Dong Rongguo to swallow up the entire Dasheng!
And in addition, the pasture is even more attractive to today's Dongrong Kingdom!
Dong Rongguo has been expanding its army in recent years, but it is facing an embarrassing situation.

To expand the army, you must raise horses, and to raise horses, you must have large tracts of pasture.

The pasture area of ​​Dongrong Kingdom is far from enough for the current army to raise horses, which has created a situation where the price of horses is far higher than that of the other two countries.

But if you want to buy horses or weapons from other two countries, the other two countries are not stupid. How can they sell weapons to the enemy? Even if they do, the price will be more expensive than buying them domestically.

Although Prince Bei did not understand the meaning behind the previous 20 years of tariffs, he also knew that it was definitely not a bad thing. Otherwise, how could Xie Yuan ask for five years of tariff exemption from himself?

But he knew that the shortage of horses in Dongrong Country was due to insufficient pasture.

In the entire Dasheng Kingdom, Liaodong has the largest area and the most pastures. If the expenses for 20 years can be waived, it will be enough for Dongrong Kingdom to raise a large number of excellent war horses!

By that time, wouldn't it be easy for Dongrong Kingdom to remove the other two countries and unify the three countries?

It's no wonder that Prince Bei sprayed tea. The slaves behind him couldn't react at this moment.

The bet made by Xie Shangshu of this prosperous country is indeed too big!This is nothing if not a huge gamble!
Several slaves were excited and wished they could agree to it now for their prince.

Prince Bei also subconsciously opened his mouth and immediately wanted to agree.

He himself didn't like the third princess and didn't want to marry her at all, but he was somewhat interested in Miss Su.

It's just a woman, and it's a far cry from the interests of these countries.

If this prosperous country could really place the bet as this person said, he would certainly agree.

As long as he agrees, he can go back with 20 years of duty-free and 20 years of free pasture. By then, wouldn't the emperor be much happier?

Although Prince Bei wanted to agree directly, he stopped the car at the last moment, remembering that the emperor's brother specifically told him before he came that he must not personally agree to any conditions for the people of Dasheng, but should discuss with several envoys before responding.

Xie Yuan looks so cunning. What if he steps into the hole he dug?
So when he reached his lips, his words changed: "Let me, the king, go back and think about this matter."
