I’m The King

"Going naturally is going, but not now!" For Li Ru, there are too many things in Han country that he can't understand. For example, in academic disputes, in his opinion, academic disputes are better than between countries. The blood shed during this struggle is not a few, such as in the Qin State. In the past few decades, in order to unify the domestic academic schools, Qin Wulie King killed many academic masters who were opposed to Li Ru until the country. No one will compete with Li Ru anymore.

But on the contrary, in Han, although Gao Yuan used Jiang Jiaquan’s academic as his governance technique, he did not prohibit the development of other schools. Even at Jicheng University, many leaders of other academic schools gave lectures. And from time to time, debates between schools are held at Jicheng Comprehensive University, and Jiang Jiaquan, who is the chief conciliator of the Han Kingdom, has also participated in such debates many times and debated with opponents. In the words of the king of the Han Kingdom Gaoyuan , That is, the ruler has its strengths and the inch is short, and there is competition to make progress.

A single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring. This is Gao Yuan's summary of the situation where various schools are eager to compete.

Li Ru once thought that the Han Nationality had caused some internal instability because of this, but the reality was the opposite.

"Well, when Da Qin is away, I believe everyone Li will be very interested in going there." Gao Yuan laughed.

"I'm afraid I won't live by that time!" Li Ru laughed. "His Royal Highness, you have gained enough, Han Di has returned to you, and Wei Guo has been taken down by you. Your Highness, wants too much. , It is very likely that you will be able to hold it if you can't eat it."

"You gave the land to Chu, so we snatched it from the people of Chu, and the country of Wei was originally ours, Mr. Li, are you going to give us our own things as compensation? How unkind! I have no doubt that when I tell this condition of yours to the Great Council, they will make the decision to go to war without hesitation."

"Then what do you want?" Li Ru said angrily.

Looking at Li Ru, Gao Yuanxindao, an academic master, is indeed not a suitable candidate for negotiation.

"For us, the land is not a problem. My big man is old enough." Gao Yuan's face also became severe. "This time, Qin took the initiative to provoke him and used force against my big man, causing huge losses to my big Han kingdom. When Chao was leaving, the two measures of burning and robbing were implemented in Yuyang. I want to come to Li and have heard about it. Hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyang are now homeless and have no food to eat. Doesn't it need compensation? ?"

"This is the price of war, and it is also an appendage of war. From ancient times to the present, there has been no compensation for this." Li Rudao.

"It didn't exist in the past, it doesn't mean that we can't have it now. In the past, there was no Great Han Kingdom, but now it has." Gao Yuan leaned forward, maintaining pressure on Li Ru. "Our request is a war indemnity of 10 million taels of silver. ."

"Ten million, are you crazy?" Hearing this number, Li Ru was shocked.

"I'm very poor, but I'm not crazy!" Gao Yuan sat back, "I thought, now there are only large sums of silver, which can calm our big council's anger, because now they are fidgeting for the sake of money. In Stone County, we suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and a large number of fertile fields that were about to be harvested were destroyed. In Yuyang, we not only failed to harvest the grains, but also needed a huge amount of silver to rebuild our homes. Wei Guo, Han Di, Li, these The place has also been ruined by your Qin people. Forgive me for what I didn't hear. You Qin people seem to be more suitable for destruction, and have never known about construction. The number I proposed was carefully calculated by us. These places can be restored to their pre-war level. Would you like to take a look at the budget plan made by our Ministry of Households, and the sum of money on it is solid." Gao Yuan beckoned, and He Weiyuan stepped forward. Before, put a thick stack of books in front of Li Ru.

"But our number of casualties in Jishi County far exceeds yours, and the 150,000 army is gone." Li Rudao.

"Because you provoked the war, so you must bear this kind of pain!" Gao Yuan said coldly: "I have no obligation to consider the casualties of your Qin State. As a victor, I will only consider the problems of your own country, as for you. How to deal with domestic affairs, that is your business."

"We can't take it out!" Li Ru suppressed his anger, "This number, no country can take it out, you are trying to force us to fight you to the death. Wouldn't it be better to be broken than to make it all?"

Gao Yuan laughed, "Qin's family for hundreds of years, can't you even get this amount, Li, it seems that your strategy of governing the country is very problematic!"

"We Daqin really can't come up with so much money, but we don't owe money!" Li Ru coldly said: "How much money do you owe, man? Is there any more money in the treasury?"

Going far and wide, "Sometimes, it’s also good to be able to borrow money! If it weren’t because of the war you provoked, I believe that my big man, within a few years of effort, could easily come up with 10 million yuan. The two silvers are all because of the abominable war, Li, since you dare to provoke war, you must bear all the consequences. It would be better for the jade to be broken than for the complete? Haha, now, I am afraid it is your jade. It will really break, but my tile will be fine."

"We can't get it out!" Li Ru was speechless by the high-level threat. The current Da Qin really can't stand the war. King Qin Wulie won't be able to survive for a few days, and the new king does not have a few years of effort. Difficult to straighten out domestic affairs.

"Can the number be less?"

"Okay, then five million taels, a price!" Gao Yuan was more refreshing than Li Ru imagined, and the price reduction made Li Ru dumbfounded.

"Of course, if you have less money, you need to have other compensations. Don't you think?" Gao Yuan said.

"What kind of compensation do you need?" Li Ru asked.

"First of all, it is that the Qin State allows our Han merchants to go to the Qin State to trade without any restrictions. The Qin people are not allowed to collect taxes from them, and they must provide security." Gao Yuandao.

"This is no problem!" Li Ru agreed.

Gao Yuan chuckled in his heart. Li Ru's negotiation object is really pleasant. He doesn't understand what is hidden here, because the Han country strongly inhibits the merger of land, adopts policies such as state redemption, and removes from the hands of the landlord. The land is bought back and sold to landless people at low prices. This makes the original landlord class possess a large amount of cash. In order to turn the dead money into living money, the landlords can only invest the money in business. The influx of money has led to the rapid development of business, and the strong competition has caused business owners to find ways to reduce the cost of goods. Gao Yuan is pleased that these business owners have begun to re-start the development of new technologies. Moreover, in terms of production, they have also attracted surprisingly to reduce costs. Although there have also been many bad tactics by exploiting workers, there are also many emerging concepts. For example, cost control theory, for example, the emergence of assembly lines, and In Jicheng Comprehensive University, there are even businessmen who pay for the students and teachers there to study how to control costs and make profits.

Allowing Han merchants to enter Qin without tax money is just a cover. The real purpose is to make a large number of low-cost goods from Han flood into Qin, thus causing a devastating blow to the domestic industry of Qin. For those who have traveled through the later generations with extremely developed commodities, Gao Yuan knows the dangers of doing so even if he only knows a little bit of fur.

This will bankrupt a large number of small family businessmen in Qin State, which will cause a devastating blow to the economy of Qin State. It will cause Qin State to fall into greater difficulties step by step in the economy.

Of course, it is impossible for a person like Li Ru to understand the hidden traps here and the great malice here.

"Second, Shannan County will definitely not return your country to us, but Daijun is what we must take back." Gao Yuan said with a serious face.

"As far as I know, Daijun has now returned it to the State of Zhao." Li Ru shook his head and said, "We can't return it to you."

"You are not giving Zhao Guo, but Zhao Qi. We will get it back by ourselves, but Qin Guo must not intervene."

"If we want to agree to this request, then also ask His Royal Highness to agree to our request, that is, Zhao's internal affairs, and neither of you nor me can intervene." Li Rudao.

"No problem at all! Let them deal with their own affairs!" Gao Yuan laughed, "I think the existence of Zhao Guo will make both of us feel more secure, right?"

"Does His Royal Highness Han have any other conditions?"

"Of course!" Gao Yuan said: "In addition to signing a peace agreement between you and us, I think it is necessary to sign another alliance agreement. That is the alliance between the Han and Qin Dynasties. The reason for our alliance is because we have an alliance. The common enemy is Chu State. We require Qin State to launch an offensive against Chu State in the shortest possible time."

"Now we don't have the power to initiate another war against any country. His Royal Highness should be very clear about this." Li Ru said angrily.

"Or you only need to make a gesture, but I think Zhou Yu definitely doesn't think so!" Gao Yuan laughed: "Of course, if you really attacked like Chu people and grabbed how many, it will be yours. We grabbed it. If it arrives, that's ours, how about it? I think you will definitely be interested in this, and the Chu people are even more incapable of coping with the flanking attack on him by both of us."

Li Ru pondered for a long while, "Okay, we agreed, but His Royal Highness also understands our current situation. We can't tell when we will send troops."

"It's easy!" Gao Yuan laughed, "This is all our conditions, Li, if there are no problems, I think we have reached an agreement." (To be continued)
