Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Faced with the coercion from the Song and Xia envoys, Fan Zheng suddenly said:

"The annual currency of the Liao Kingdom is only about 500,000 guan. As compensation, the Song Dynasty has a million guan, or even tens of millions of guan, to do business with the Liao Kingdom."

"A million strings, or even a million strings!"

The Liao envoy couldn't help but hold his breath, what a wealth this would be.

Yelu Nanyin said in disbelief: "I don't know what Mr. Fan means by buying and selling..."

"Silk Road." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Silk Road!"

Yelu Nanyin murmured.

There was no concept of the Silk Road in this era, but this did not prevent everyone from easily understanding this trade route.

"In order to punish Xixia for repeatedly violating the border, the Song Dynasty will impose economic sanctions on Xixia. The Song Dynasty will close all the forecourts of Xixia, connect the Western Regions through the Liao Kingdom, and recreate the glory of the Silk Road. With the profits of the Silk Road, it will be enough to Make up for the loss of Liao's annual coins." Fan Zhengdao.

“Profits from the Silk Road.”

The Liao Kingdom was not unaware of the profits of the Silk Road. Silk accounted for as much as 60% of the Song Dynasty coins. Naturally, the Liao Kingdom alone could not consume these silks. A large part of them was sold to countries in the Western Regions. Earn great rewards.

Xixia naturally did the same thing. From this point of view, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia are in a competitive relationship. If all Xixia's Silk Road shares are handed over to the Liao Kingdom, and silk is continuously transported from the Song Dynasty, the Silk Road will definitely be restored. The splendor of the road.

Weiming Awu's face suddenly changed, and he said sadly: "Princess Yelu, think twice! This is a divorce plan of the Song Dynasty."

The Liao envoy fell into silence. They naturally knew that this was Song's alienation plan, but such huge benefits were enough to make Liao's heart beat.

Yelu Nanyin suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Doctor Fan made a good plan, but it's a pity that Dr. Fan didn't know it. The Han people's silkworms had already been leaked! The Qin Dynasty in the West has controlled silk technology, the price of silk has plummeted, and the Silk Road has In name only.”

"what!"

As soon as the news came out, the three countries' missions were in an uproar.

The Xixia envoy was overjoyed, but the Song envoy's face changed drastically. If the huge benefits of the Silk Road were lost, how could the Liao Kingdom be willing to abolish the annual currency. "

Fan Zheng heard this but said calmly: "The Great Qin that Her Royal Highness the Princess is talking about is Eastern Rome, and its capital is called Byzantium."

Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect Fan Zheng to be so proficient in the Far West Qin.

"Mr. Fan is very knowledgeable, and Nanyin admires him!" Yelu Nanyin nodded, and then said, "But since Master Fan knows about Rome and Byzantium, he should naturally know that what Nanyin said is true."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What the princess said is indeed true. The Silk Road is prevalent. Silk is equivalent to gold in the far west. The people of Qin coveted the Han people's silkworm technology, so they sent Hu merchants under the guise of doing business. He hollowed out the middle of the bamboo pole and put the stolen silkworms inside, avoiding the inspection of the officers and soldiers, which eventually led to the leakage of the silkworms."

"This is simply unreasonable!" Cai Bian said angrily.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "However, the people of Great Qin only stole the mulberry silkworms, but they did not steal the secret weaving skills. So far, Great Qin's weaving technology is extremely backward. Its silk and satin are simply different from those of the Song Dynasty. The silk of the Great Song Dynasty is not no advantage."

Fan Zheng waved his hand, and a clerk from Honglu Temple presented a piece of exquisite silk and satin and placed it in front of Yelu Nanyin.

Yelu Nanyin touched the soft and silky silk in front of her in amazement. Fan Zheng's words were true. The silk of the Song Dynasty was indeed extremely exquisite, and even now it is still highly sought after in the Western Regions.

"And the Silk Road is not just about silk. The porcelain and tea from the Song Dynasty are still more expensive than gold in the Western Regions." Fan Zheng waved his hand, and sets of exquisite porcelain and fragrant tea were placed in front of Yelu Nanyin.

Yelu Nanyin's heart suddenly pounded. As Fan Zheng said, although silk technology was leaked, its weaving technology was still leading. The porcelain and tea of ​​the Song Dynasty were extremely popular in the Western Regions, especially tea, which was indispensable to nomadic peoples. The value is immeasurable.

"Princess Yelu, don't listen to the temptation of the evil doctor Fan Zheng."

Weiming Awu suddenly became very anxious and asked, how could he not know the price of tea? A large amount of tea was sold to the Western Regions by Xixia in the annual coins of the Song Dynasty. This was Xixia's financial source.

"If these are not enough, add medicines that can heal people's lives!" Fan Zheng waved his hand and presented another batch of Chinese patent medicines. After the reform of the doctors, the medical skills of the Song Dynasty were already well-deserved to be the best in the world, and Medical skills in the Western Regions were backward, so drugs that could heal people's lives must have been popular in the Western Regions.

This time, even the deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom who was really in charge was moved, no one else! Once these goods are transported to the Western Regions through the Silk Road, money will definitely be made every day.

Cai Bian on the side agreed: "The huge benefits of the Silk Road contributed a lot to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now that the Song and Liao Dynasties reopened the Silk Road, the silk, porcelain, tea, and medicines of the Song Dynasty are popular in the Western Regions, so If you can get several times the annual coins, why not do it?"

Wei Ming A Wu angrily scolded: "Princess, think twice, the evil doctor Fan Zheng has always been able to deceive people. His purpose is to alienate Liao Xia and save the Song Dynasty from the trouble of the year. Once the Song Dynasty gets a chance to breathe, it will be the Liao Dynasty." The end of summer.”

The excitement of the Liao State envoy suddenly disappeared. They naturally knew that the purpose of this trip was to try their best to suppress the Song State. If they agreed to Fan Zheng's policy, they would probably make the Song State bigger.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "If the Liao Kingdom seeks wealth, the benefits of the Silk Road are enough to be several times the annual currency. If the Liao Kingdom intends to weaken the Song Dynasty, how can it be the way of peace between Song and Liao? For the sake of a piece of alliance, the Song Dynasty has already It is enough to pay tens of millions of dollars. Instead of dying day by day, it is better to fight hard. Now that the Song Dynasty has the thunder in hand, it may not be defeated."

"Shaking thunder!"

The Liaoxia envoy couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but think of the battle of Pingxia City. He knew in his heart that such terrifying firearms were probably the strength of the Song Dynasty.

"Jointly opening up the Silk Road will benefit both Song and Liao. Only the interests are at stake. Peace will benefit both parties, and war will lead to both losses. This is the way to peace. If only the interests of the Song Dynasty are harmed, the relationship between Song and Liao will never be There can be no peace." Cai Bian said loudly.

Yelu Nanyin suddenly fell into hesitation. This was because she had been persuading the Song Dynasty to make peace, but what about the sincerity of peace in the Liao Dynasty?

"This princess can pass this policy on to Grandpa Huang." Yelu Nanyin finally nodded.

"Princess Yelu, think twice! This is a conspiracy of the Song Dynasty."

Weiming Awu said sadly that if the Liao Kingdom accepted the Song Dynasty's proposal, Xixia's situation would be even more miserable.

However, the Liao envoy was unmoved.

Without him!

Just because the Song Dynasty gave too much, the Liao Kingdom had exclusive access to the benefits of the Silk Road. This was simply a great thing. In the face of such huge benefits, the Liao Kingdom could not be unmoved.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw this scene.

"Weak countries have no diplomacy!"

This was true in the Song Dynasty, and it is also true in Xixia now!

Now that the Song Army has taken control of Zhentianlei and the Bastion, its defense has reached a higher level, ensuring its own safety. The Song Army already has the power to negotiate.

The defeated Xixia could only feel the helplessness of the Song Dynasty.
