Zhang Xianzhang came to the conference hall. In the dark and unfinished hall, there were hundreds of people sitting there, all with unhappy faces. That was right. After all, they were colonized, and everyone was a representative of the colony. It would be strange if they could look happy when negotiating with the colonizer.
This negotiation seemed destined to be a humiliating one; however, the strength of the Shang Kingdom made these people dare not speak out. When the Shang Kingdom's immortals appeared proudly, and when their own masters died in battle, they had no choice but to come here.
Zhang Xianzhang came with a smile. Standing on the high platform, he looked down proudly: "My fellow Taoists, we from the Shang Kingdom came here only for trade, so the local ruling rights and so on are still in your hands. Of course..."
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhang's expression suddenly turned cold and stern: "If you don't want to take this position, we will naturally support those who are willing!"
The atmosphere around them changed. Zhang Xianzhang's sudden change of expression obviously confused everyone. How could he change his expression so suddenly? Didn't he say he was here to negotiate? How did he become a lecturer
Zhang Xianzhang paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Haha, just kidding. If possible, I hope to be friends with everyone. Come on, I will give everyone a generous gift."
A maid came out from the side and placed a red envelope in front of each representative. Everyone was stunned and curious, wondering what this was? Was it a sweet date for a stick
"A certificate, the Shang Country Honorary Citizen Certificate!" Zhang Xianzhang said calmly, but steadily and forcefully, "With the Honorary Citizen Certificate, you will be able to obtain some of the rights of Shang Country citizens. Specifically, you need to take the Honorary Citizen Certificate to register online. Each citizen certificate has a unique number, which cannot be changed once registered. There are instructions for use in the red envelope."
Someone suddenly asked, "Could you please tell me about the rights and obligations of honorary citizens?"
Zhang Xianzhang spoke slowly: "The rights of honorary citizens include emergency rescue, children's schooling, and the purchase of cheap Shang resources. The obligations are mainly to pay taxes and protect trade routes. But don't worry, if you are not satisfied with the status of Shang's honorary citizen, you can cancel it. But once you cancel, you will never be able to obtain the status of honorary citizen again."
Everyone looked at each other, some were excited, some were wary, and everyone had mixed feelings. The cheap resources and children's schooling in the Shang country's honorary citizenship made everyone excited; but when they thought about their own identities, they were a little hesitant.
Zhang Xianzhang was not in a hurry. If these people were moved, it would be easy to deal with them. The negotiations began, but Zhang Xianzhang made it clear: We are here to trade. As long as we are allowed to trade, everything will be fine. If we are not allowed to trade, do you believe we will support another ruler
After a fierce confrontation, the two sides finally reached an agreement:
Yunzhou, with Changshengmen as the main person in charge and the royal families of various countries as secondary persons in charge, jointly maintains the stability of Yunzhou and allows Shangguo to trade. The specific trade rules continue the "North Sea Treaty".
Another point is that Shang State added a clause for garrisoning troops. In important places in Yunzhou, Shang State will set up military strongholds in designated areas. These military strongholds are like nails nailed to the land of Yunzhou, making it almost impossible for Yunzhou to turn over. Because the locations of these strongholds are all nodes of dragon veins and luck in Yunzhou.
