I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 135 The Old Fox's Grandson Wuji

Zhuge Liang smiled calmly: "Of course, this will take time, and at the same time, it will also require a certain amount of negotiation opportunities. I am here today to express my wish. If you are willing, you can start talking directly. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it."

Everyone can speak on the scene.

From every sentence before, this one is the most obvious, full of 'threats'!
A commercial base means doing business. You can say anything if you agree to it, and it’s okay if you don’t agree. From now on, your eldest grandson’s family will never even try to buy any items produced under Qin Mu’s jurisdiction, even if it’s an iron nail!

This is Qin Mu's confidence, and it is also why he has not started this plan until now.

With the current state of the world, which country dares to say that, who dares to stand up and shout, "I don't want the goods produced in the twenty states, I can live in the same way, and I can also go to war"!
Not to mention the eldest grandson's family, even the Tubo, North Korea, and Tang courts, no one dared to say that.

Changsun Wuji naturally understood what it meant, with one hand on the table and the other on his thigh, clenched tightly.

The situation is so compelling that you have to learn to endure it!

Zhuge Liang is not only alone, but has a strong backing behind him, so he naturally doesn't panic in his heart.

If you can't reach an agreement, then change the place. The third prince and the Tang court must be more anxious now than the eldest grandson's family.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still gave enough face.

"My lord, grandson, I can assure you again that the business base is for business, and will never participate in the siege of the city. Of course, if it is attacked, then it is natural to defend."

Changsun Wuji had already fallen into a passive state, and remained silent for a long time: "How does King Xian regard the situation of the entire Tang Kingdom now?"

"Uh"

This topic was changed, and it was indeed a bit unprepared.

Zhuge Liang looked out the door with deep eyes.

"No matter how you make trouble, there are only a few left in the end, and the real powerful ones are at most three, and the goal of the virtuous king is to do business, and the rest of the war will not be involved except for self-defense!"

"Is this statement true?"

Zhuge Liang's answer really surprised Changsun Wuji.

In such an anxious situation, there are still people with strong strength, who do business honestly instead of fighting for hegemony and expanding the region.

Is the other person's brain sick, or can't keep up with his own thinking?
Even children can't believe such words.

Will Lingzhou Palace be so honest?

Zhuge Liang paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Sometimes the words spoken will indeed be regarded as lies, and they cannot be judged correctly, at least some words will not be mixed with lies.

Facing a veteran minister like Changsun Wuji, his political thinking is naturally beyond doubt, and there is no need to cover up anything.

"Master Changsun, Liang has something to say and I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"You said."

"What is the purpose of fighting for hegemony and establishing a country?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a second: "For the well-being of the people in the world, eliminate the sins of the world, and fight for justice for them."

"Okay, my lord, let me ask again, what is the purpose of striving for hegemony and establishing a country?"

The question just now was repeated again.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Liang, his eyes full of doubts.

He has no words.
Zhuge Liang seemed to be talking to himself: "We are all ordinary people, some are noble, some are ordinary, and all of them spend their whole lives fighting for a stable life. High officials want to gain supreme power and look down on the world, but the virtuous king thinks that instead of throwing the people into chaos and losing their reputation through war, it is better to do the opposite and improve the situation of the people based on commercial prosperity, thus refusing to stop War, the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, surrounded by small countries, and there are more island countries on the sea. There are always areas that cannot be touched by war, but business is different, and the circulation of the world spreads the true sense of enlightenment and well-being
Therefore, the road we have to take is not to fight for hegemony. We can go further based on business, and establish an unsurpassable reputation. Adults can buy the goods they want at will. The palace has received funds to speed up production, reduce deductions in various links, and , If you have any opinions on the conduct of trade, you can communicate with the palace at any time. "

"To give a simple example, the steam locomotive, the most expensive thing is the steam engine, the cheapest for industrial use is 30 taels of silver, and there are various miscellaneous costs attached to it, the total price exceeds 50, but it can move tirelessly, To transport more materials, such equipment only needs dozens of vehicles to continuously transfer teams of elite soldiers to various places, reduce the loss of soldiers, and even drop tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the enemy's rear on the battlefield overnight!"

Hearing such an explanation, at first I still felt that I was talking about scenes, but slowly Changsun Wuji's back began to get hairy!
The meaning of these words is too obvious. If you don't agree, it's okay. The Lingzhou Palace can be sold to other people, such as the Tang Dynasty court.

This is a threat, and it's blatantly naked!

According to Qin Mu's layout, it is completely a strategy of using the barbarians to control the barbarians, using the hands of others to destroy their enemies.

At the same time, a lot of benefits have been earned from it, and both parties dare not complain.

Thinking of this, he instantly became transparent.

Unyielding, is it possible?
"I can sell you a city, but it must be driven into the border area."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head immediately: "Impossible, if it is a border city, it will have no effect at all, we might as well continue the agency system."

Changsun Wuji frowned, as a veteran minister who had been in government for a long time, he understood the meaning of it all too well.

Even, the more I think about it, the more flustered I feel.

The opponent has already shown his sword, showing his sharpness, but put a piece of candy on the tip of the sword for you to tempt you.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision: "How about I sell a town in Luzhou to you?"

This town, located in the central area of ​​Luzhou, can be regarded as a logistics transshipment hub with a radius of more than three miles.

Zhuge Liang frowned as he watched Changsun Wuji pointing to the location on the map.

It seems that there is no natural danger in the surrounding area.

Thinking about it this way, it's not that Changsun Wuji doesn't understand the art of war, but is very smart.

"My lord, I have a question. This place is very good. What we need for business is the hub area and the plain area, but the area is too small. We need to build a lot of roads, buildings, etc. How about expanding it to ten kilometers? One kilometer we The bid is 200 taels of gold, and the range of ten kilometers is 5000 taels of gold."

Immediately, Changsun Wuji stood up with a serious face.

"It's only 200 taels of gold for one kilometer, it's totally impossible! 500 taels is about the same."

"My lord, we are very clear about the surroundings of this town. It is completely a field of rocks and weeds, and it has no military value. It is already a very high price to exchange a piece of barren land for 5000 taels of gold."
