Kou Ji knew in his heart that Wang Zeng and Cai Qi were not deliberately disturbing his dreams.
Da Song was really used to being hungry, and now he took the initiative to bring up a big granary. They didn't eat it in their mouths, and they were uncomfortable.
But importantly, Kou Ji finished talking last night.
The rest is not important, and there is almost nothing to talk about.
Whether it’s a big ship or supplies.
They can give as much as they want.
Anyway, even if Cao used the lion's big mouth, it would not be too much.
Cao took advantage of what he really wanted, and Kou Ji gave it last night.
Cao used to know that Kou Ji would guess what he did.
Kou Ji also knew what Cao wanted.
So what should be promised, I promised last night.
If not, Cao would not add the word firearm to his request even if he knew that Song Dynasty would not give him a firearm.
The words were spoken to Da Song, but Kou Ji's ears were really to be conveyed.
Because Cao Liu knew in his heart whether he could get the firearm, Da Song said it would not count, but Kou Ji said it.
Cao took advantage of not demanding that Song must give him a firearm before he was willing to hand over his hand, which shows that he knows where Kou Ji's bottom line is.
Kou Ji also saw Cao's use of intellect and gave him a promise.
Poor Cao Min was kept in the dark from beginning to end, like a tool man.
But he can use the middle to spread the word between Kou Ji and Cao, and his tool is worth it.
Cao used him to come to see Kou Ji, and after seeing Kou Ji, he immediately knelt and kept calling him Uncle Kou Ji.
That means Cao took advantage of it and sent him to have a relationship with Kou Jipan.
Cao's use is obviously to train Cao Min as his successor.
He wants his successor to see Kou Ji and establish a relationship with Kou Ji. If there is anything to find Kou Ji in the future, it will be easier.
When Kou Ji and Cao use their status, every move has profound meaning.
If Cao didn't tell Cao Min in advance, Cao Min would not be able to kneel so happily when he saw Kou Ji, let alone call his uncle in silence.
Cao Min is now the second heir to the throne anyway.
You don't need to kneel when you see Zhao Zhen.
Seeing Kou Ji for no reason, it was impossible to kneel so happy.
What about the saving grace
In the eyes of many people, the life-saving grace is no match for the gap of status and benefits.
Kou Ji entered Honghe Temple, and all the officials in Honghe Temple had been waiting at the Yamen.
After seeing Kou Ji, one by one greeted him with enthusiasm.
"I have seen Kou Xiang..."
"..."
A crowd of people gave salutes one after another.
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite... Go and prepare the Jiaozhi files, and then we will go to the Jiaozhi Post House."
Upon hearing the words, the secretary of Hongyou Temple hurriedly said: "Hui Kou Xiang, the dossier that should be prepared, the subordinate officials and others were ready overnight."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Then check it a few times to see if there are any omissions."
Hongyousiqing spoke again: "Returning to the Kouxiang, when the third shift last night, the subordinate officials and others prepared the dossier and checked it four times overnight to confirm that it was correct."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and hesitated again and again: "Then you go have breakfast and rest."
Qing Hongyusi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Kou Xiang, the officials and others have already eaten a simple meal."
Kou Ji was silent for a few breaths, and said: "Then go to sleep, and go to the Jiaozhi Posthouse when you wake up."
Honghusi stared at Kou Ji in a daze.
Kou Ji said with a stern face and solemnly said: "Today we are afraid that we will have a long conversation with the Cochin messenger all night. If it is because of sleepiness at night and some omissions make the Cochin people take advantage of the loopholes, it will not be beautiful.
It should be noted that the matter this time is of great importance.
It is possible that one sentence is not good, and millions of dollars of money are allowed to go out easily.
So we must be foolproof. "
Upon hearing this, the secretary of Honghe Temple solemnly said: "The lower official understands that the next official will tell the people of Honghe Temple to go down and recharge."
Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction, found a public house in the office gate of Honghu Temple, and fell asleep after entering.
After Honghe Temple and others slept in Kou Ji.
One by one looked at each other.
Shaoqing of Hongyou Temple said to Hongyou Temple with a distressed expression: "Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang sat here last night, staring at the dossiers that we have prepared for Jiaozhi, and checked them again and again, before leaving. At that time, we specially told us that when Kou Xiang arrived, we immediately went to the Jiaozhi Posthouse.
But now, as soon as Kou Xiang arrives, he falls asleep, what can we do? "
"Yes, yes, Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked, how should we answer? If it is to be held accountable, can we still push Kou Xiang on the head?"
"Wang Xiang turned his face, and talked a little bit about human touch. Cai Xiang turned his face, it was because the six relatives did not recognize it. If Cai Xiang is staring at him, we will be difficult to mix in the court in the future."
"Who should we listen to, Shangguan, give me an idea."
"..."
The officials of Honghe Temple stared at Honghe Temple with a frown, and waited for Honghe Temple to give an idea.
Hongxian Siqing's expression was also bitter, "We can't afford to offend Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang, and we can't afford to offend Kou Xiang. Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang are worried about us, we are at best demoted.
If Kou Xiang missed us, he would be sent to the border to go to herdsmen.
If the weight is heavy, you have to lose your head.
The two evils are the lesser of power.
Let's listen to Kou Xiang.
Listening to Kou Xiang can survive. "
Shaoqing of Hongyousi pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Shangguan's words are reasonable... This time Kou Xiang is the chief envoy in the negotiations with the Jiaozhi people, and we are only assisting.
If he doesn't move, we can't move either.
When Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked about this, we said so.
If Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang understand us, we can be considered to have passed a difficult time. "
The others in Honghe Temple nodded one after another.
"They will rest in their class rooms and send someone to stare at the door. Once Kou Xiang wakes up, he will immediately meet here."
Qing Honghesi exhorted.
Honghe Temple nodded together.
After they arched their hands to each other, they returned to their respective classrooms.
Hongyu Siqing did not leave, he guarded outside the public room where Kou Ji slept.
Kou Ji slept for an hour and a half, and then woke up quietly when he was full.
As soon as I left the house, I saw Honghusiqing sitting outside his room and dozing off.
"What are you doing?"
Kou Ji asked casually.
Hongyousiqing suddenly woke up and said, "Kou Xiang, are you awake?"
Kou Ji asked: "Why don't you go to rest?"
Hongyousi smiled dryly, "The lower official can't sleep."
Kou Ji shook his head, and did not reveal the lies of Hongyu Temple, he instructed: "Call others, get ready, and go to Jiaozhi Post."
Qing Hongyousi immediately agreed and went to summon the others.
After a while, Honghe Temple came up in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't give any advice, and he clicked on the number of people, and took them out of Hongyou Temple, and rushed to the Jiaozhi Posthouse.
When I arrived at the gate of the Jiaozhi Post, I saw Cao Min leading a group of officials with Jiaozhi, waiting at the gate of the post.
Kou Ji took the initiative to greet them, and before they waited for the salute, he asked, "Have you waited a long time?"
Cao Min took the lead in giving salutes with a group of Jiaozhi officials.
After the salute.
Cao Min said neither overbearing nor overbearing: "I didn't wait long, only two hours."
Kou Ji was taken aback and smiled and said, "Are you complaining about me?"
Cao Min hurriedly said, "I dare not..."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Let Honghu Temple be the host tonight, please go to Jiaofang and have a good time. It is regarded as an amnesty for you."
Upon hearing the words, Qing Hongyusi immediately echoed: "It should be so."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Go in and talk."
After Kou Ji said this, he took the lead into the post house, and the others quietly followed Kou Ji into the post house.
Kou Ji has a great reputation and a strong deterrent.
Fortunately in the Great Song Dynasty, it is rumored outside the Great Song Dynasty that Kou Ji's direct and indirect killings probably exceeded the entire population of Jiaozhi.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji gave orders to the envoys of Cochin, and they did not complain.
They didn’t know the relationship between Cao Utilization and Kou Ji. They only knew that this time the matter was discussed, everyone was happy, and the talk was not good. The fierce guy in front of him will lead his victorious man The fierce army, stepped into Jiaozhi.
They once calculated in private that if this person stepped into Cochin with troops, the probability that Cochin could survive under the hands of this person would not exceed one in a thousand.
As for winning, no one dares to think.
The record of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty in pushing the Liao region across the land has long been spread all over the world.
Cochin is better than Liaodi, but Danwan Er.
It is estimated that it is not enough for others to toss at once.
Thousands of artillery pieces went to the gate of Jiaozhi. After one round of bombardment, Jiaozhi had to drop.
They have seen the power of artillery.
Know that that thing is a weapon on the battlefield.
The low city wall of Jiaozhi couldn't stand the destruction of artillery.
Kou Ji entered the post, and the servants in the post had prepared everything needed for the negotiation.
Kou Ji unceremoniously went to the main seat, and the other talents took their seats separately.
Kou Ji nodded to Qing Honghesi, and the negotiation officially began.
The two sides started a long-term negotiation on the price of the sale of Jiaozhi.
Kou Ji did not participate from start to finish, and so did Cao Min.
In the eyes of both of them, the negotiation in front of them was just a cutscene.
Because what was really going to be discussed, the two of them had already finished talking in private.
Of course, in the eyes of Kou Ji, he had a conversation with Cao Li after thousands of miles away.
In Cao Min's eyes, Kou Ji ruled everything.
The negotiations started from noon to night.
The mouths of both sides never stopped.
From time to time, I also looked at Kou Ji and Cao Min.
Regardless of how hard they talked about, they were actually grinding their mouths.
They knew in their hearts that Kou Ji and Cao Min were in charge.
Kou Ji and Cao Min didn't speak, no matter how much they talked, it was useless.
If you don’t nod your head, if you talk about a result, you can overthrow it.
But even so, they have to talk.
Regardless of the result, the posture must be adequate.
Seeing that everyone was tired, Kou Ji slowly said, "Come on, how old are you like me, so I call you a good nephew, okay?"
Cao Min saw Kou Ji speak, and didn't hold it anymore. He said with a slight polite: "I have learned Song Kingdom since I was a child and familiar with Song Kingdom etiquette. It is naturally not an exaggeration to call me a good nephew by the age of Kou Xiang. ."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "My nephew, since Jiaozhi has agreed to sell the land, he must have already figured out what he wants to trade with me. When he comes, will the King of Cochin give you a list or something?"
Cao Min pretended to hesitate for a while, then nodded, "There is a list, but only big ships and supplies. The manpower and firearms are not listed."
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Take it over and let me see..."
Cao Min smoothly took out a list from the cuff and handed it to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji took the list and carefully reviewed it.
"Five thousand big boats... The King of Cochin has a good appetite. However, it is the land of Jiaozhi that has been paid, and it is not an exaggeration to have five thousand big boats."
Kou Ji thought about it for a while and said: "I can't get 5,000 big boats at once. If the official boathouse does it day and night, there will be no more than 300 big boats a year.
If you set up a few more squares, you can barely make thousands of them.
If there is more, there will be not enough craftsmanship.
How about five thousand big ships delivered in five years? "
Cao Min thought for a moment, and said, "Can I send someone to Da Song to learn shipbuilding skills? If I can send someone to Da Song to learn shipbuilding skills, Da Song will deliver it in five years, and I can agree to it."
Kou Ji didn't think much, nodded and said: "Yes..."
The craftsmanship of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are mostly used in the big ships built by the Song Dynasty.
After the Song Dynasty inherited the skills of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, some improvements were made to form a unique shipbuilding skill of the Song Dynasty.
Due to the relatively prosperous sea trade of the Song Dynasty.
So shipbuilding skills are still quite powerful.
But compared to the new ship that Kou Ji and Kou Tianci researched together based on the Da Song shipbuilding plan, it is a bit worse.
So it’s okay to teach the existing shipbuilding skills to Jiaozhi.
Anyway, in a few years, Handi, Xiyang, and Dasong will have new shipbuilding skills.
The ships built at that time will only be better or worse than they are now.
Moreover, Kou Ji intentionally condoned Cao to take advantage of it, so he naturally had to give some technical support.
Cao Min saw that Kou Ji happily agreed to let the Jiaozhi people go to Song Dynasty to learn shipbuilding skills, so he didn't say anything.
The same is true for the other envoys of Cochin.
On the contrary, the people from Honghe Temple stared at Kou Ji, scratching their heads.
They felt that Kou Ji had promised too much, so that it would be easy to be led by the nose.
But now Kou Ji, the person in charge, is talking, and they all can’t speak.
In formal occasions, it is a taboo to sing against your boss at any time.
After Kou Ji approved the big ship, he continued to look down at the supplies, one by one.
"Cotton... Linen... Silk... Cloth... Iron..."
After Kou Ji finished reading one by one, he stared at Cao Min and said, "There are a lot of requests, but it is inevitable that I am underestimated."
Kou Ji conveniently put the list on the table and said lightly, "I will double it for you, Da Song."
At this point, everyone present, except Cao Min, looked at Kou Ji in astonishment.
The people at Honghe Temple almost screamed.
After being glared at by Kou Ji, he gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.
Everyone at Hongshe Temple looked ugly.
They felt that Kou Ji didn't negotiate like this.
Others talk less and less, and if you take the initiative to double the amount, are you crazy
The Jiaozhi people needed a lot of materials, and Da Song had to take it out all at once, and he had to raise it well.
If it doubles, it may shake the foundation of some industries.
Kou Ji didn't care about the reaction of the people at Hongshe Temple. After he doubled the materials that Jiaozhi needed, he said lightly, "Don't think about the manpower. My subjects are not goods, and it is impossible for anyone to buy or sell them. It is even less likely to be a trading item in the business field.
In the old days, my court officials were on the head of the city of Bianjing and declared to the people of the world that whoever touched me, the people of Song Dynasty, would be punishable by Song Dynasty.
Dali didn't believe in this evil and hurt the lives of the people of Song Dynasty.
I sent more than 100,000 troops forwards and backwards to level Dali.
King Dali is now eating and reciting the Buddha in the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing.
Therefore, I advise you not to hit me on the ideas of the people of Song Dynasty.
Anyone who regards the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty as a waste of money is the enemy of the Song Dynasty.
I, Da Song, did not hesitate to fight for this.
No matter who the enemy is. "
Kou Ji's words are decisive in the end.
Everyone present could hear a strong killing intent from Kou Ji's words.
They all clearly felt that Kou Ji was not joking with them.
For a time.
Cozhi messengers have very ugly faces.
Being threatened so openly by others, they dared not say anything, and felt very aggrieved in their hearts.
The people at Hongshe Temple were excited.
They finally understood the reason why Kou Ji had added the materials requested by Jiaozhi.
Kou Ji wanted to use materials to make up for the manpower.
Kou Ji spoke again in the two faces, two expressions.
"There is no firearm. If you want, you can bring your own soldiers to get it. Other armaments are easy to discuss."
Kou Ji dropped these words, got up slowly, and said, "Everyone is tired today, and we will talk about the ordnance thing tomorrow. You should also consider what I said.
If you can promise, you will open the door tomorrow and wait for us.
Can't promise, you closed the door.
Someone will send you away from Beijing in the future.
After you return to Jiaozhi, tell the Cochin County King to be ready to meet me.
When I went there, I didn't bring many people, just 300,000 forbidden troops.
If Jiaozhi can stop it, let's talk about it. "
After saying this, Kou Ji threw up his sleeves and left the post.
The people of Hongshe Temple followed Kou Ji with excitement one by one, and left the post house.
As soon as Kou Ji and his party left, the Cochin messengers screamed.
"Crazy! Too crazy! I have never seen such a crazy person!"
"Heaven's desire for its death must first make it crazy... Sooner or later Da Song will be corrupted in his hands."
"..."
The Jiaozhi messenger shouted with righteous indignation.
Cao Min's face was somber, and he roared in a low voice, "Enough!"
The Cochin messengers closed their mouths one after another and looked at Cao Min together.
Cao Min gritted his teeth and said: "He is arrogant, but he has arrogant capital. He gave an order, and the 300,000 Great Song Forbidden Army came to me to make a toe. But everyone on and off me, even if I broke my throat, couldn't get it together. It can withstand the power of the 300,000 imperial army of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why my grandfather reluctantly sold Jiaozhi to Song State was because he knew that I could not withstand Song State's conquest. "
"At the time when the Great Song Dynasty killed me, Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, I was not beaten by the king of Li to hold the head and scurry..."
The Cochin envoy refused to accept it and gritted his teeth.
Cao Min glared at him and said, "It was then, and now is now. Back then, I was hand-to-hand, and I had an absolute geographical advantage, facing mediocrity such as Hou Renbao, who was incompetent in military affairs.
What now
The Song Dynasty had muskets and artillery, as well as countless gunpowder ordnance.
Even if we have a geographical advantage, it is difficult to resist.
A city, facing a short-sold attack, we can be a few months.
But in the face of the firearms, we may not be able to stop the breath.
What's more, in the Song Dynasty, there were generals such as Di Qing and Yang Wenguang who were able to recruit good warfare. Their military strategies were many times better than Hou Renbao.
More importantly... he... more than 300,000 soldiers and horses can be mobilized.
He dared to be crazy, the Emperor Song dared to accompany him mad, but I couldn't accompany him. "
After hearing what Cao Min said, the Cochin messengers gritted their teeth and hung their heads in humiliation.
This is a big country, a big country that crushes Jiaozhi in all directions.
When facing the oppression of such a big country, Jiaozhi only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
After Cao Min's other envoys lowered their heads, Cao Min said in a deep voice, "Before coming, my grandfather had anticipated the situation today. He explained to me that he couldn't get a firearm, so he asked for a crossbow with Da Song.
Although I can imitate some bows and crossbows of Da Song, it is only small and large. It is still very difficult for me to imitate and it takes a lot of time.
Therefore, we must ask for enough large crossbows from the Song Dynasty, as well as the craftsmen who make large crossbows.
You need to discuss this matter tomorrow. Remember, you must ask for the large crossbows I need and the craftsmen who make them. "
"I have paid for a country, so should I bring back some crossbows, craftsmen, ships, and supplies?"
Someone yelled in grief.
Cao Min stared: "You heard what he said just now. He said he wouldn't let us buy and sell Song people like goods, but he didn't say that we can't invite Song people to come with us as guests.
As long as Song people leave with us sincerely, we are not against his words. "
"But I have a toe..."
"Enough... You have seen my grandfather's overseas heritage. You have also seen the maps that my grandfather dispatched merchants to collect.
Although we have paid for Jiaozhi, what we have gained is enough to allow us to gain greater territory overseas and in the West.
To the west, Angkor, Bagan, Pengjialuo, Tianzhu, that is not richer than my Jiaozhi, and that territory is not larger than my Jiaozhi
After conquering them, we are enough to establish a dynasty that is richer, stronger, and larger than Jiaozhi. "
"But... we have few people..."
"But we have soldiers and horses that are far better than them, and soldiers that are far stronger than them. If we break a country, we can build a country with their population."
"..."
Just as Cao Min showed the ambitions of their Cao family to the Jiaozhi messenger, the people of Hongyu Temple were chasing after Kou Ji, talking with excitement.
"I have been serving as the secretary of Hongyou Temple for twelve years, and I have never seen a scene like today."
Hongyousiqing followed Kou Ji's footsteps and said excitedly.
Shaoqing Hongyusi nodded and said: "In the past, we were cautious when we met with envoys of other countries. Today Kou Xiang is considered to have opened our eyes."
"So overbearing, will the Jiaozhi people accept it?"
"..."
