On March 24, the early spring morning was foggy, the snow had melted, and the warmth returned to the earth again, as if spring had only officially arrived at this moment.
Construction is going on everywhere in Dongshuang City, and the eastern capital is just being built. Whether it is three, four or six or various public facilities, it needs to be expanded and repaired. At this time, the Great Qin Empire lacked not money, but time.
On the city wall, a magic crystal cannon is being hoisted and placed, and the guardian guarding the country guards his enemies. He personally supervises the construction. The guard position of the east city gate is very important. If Dongshuang City is hit by the enemy, this direction will be the first to bear the brunt. .
In the early spring, the cold wind was blowing, and Wei Qiu's robes swayed slowly, and a mysterious power of ghosts and gods lingered around his body like a cloud, which was a spectacle.
"Tuk tuk..."
The sound of horseshoes rushed forward, and two gentian battalion scouts of extremely long level shouted under the city: "Master, our people caught a cargo ship from the Celestial Continent at the port of the East China Sea. The people on it said it was from the sky. The envoys of the Ji Empire, they are asking to see the three Highnesses, please lead your lord to decide!"
"Envoy of the Tianji Empire?"
Wei Qiu looked at the fertile fields in the distance. That was the direction of the Tianji Empire. What did the Tianji Empire want to do? Either go to war or negotiate a peace, and send envoys over. Is it because they want to conclude a covenant? After thinking about it, Wei Qiu couldn't help laughing. How tyrannical the Tianji Empire is, where is the reason for the alliance between wolves and sheep
"How many of them are there?"
"There are a dozen people in total, and one of them is wearing more expensive clothes and should be an envoy."
"Hand over their weapons and weapons, and send two hundred gentian cavalry to escort them to the hall."
"Yes!"
…
An hour later, in the East Capital Hall, Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others were already there. Lin Muyu stood in front of the throne, pressing the handle of the saber, and waiting with a smile.
"Ayu seems to be looking forward to this envoy?" Feng Jixing asked with a smile.
"It's a bit, at least from this envoy we can see some of the attitudes of the Tianji Empire toward us."
"Well, I think so too."
Under the king’s ranks, there were many officials, including Zeng Yifan, Xiang Yu, Wei Qiu, Bai Licang, Su Yu, and others. Even Luo Xin had already traveled from the cloud province to dispatch and entrusted the four publics. After Wuhou, the military power of the Great Qin Empire was so concentrated, at least it would never happen again that Tang Lan and Su Muyun refused to send troops.
Soon after, the envoy was called. He was a lean man with a few entourages, but his weapons had been removed.
"Tianji Empire, Tianji Provincial Envoy Zhou Xinyao, see His Royal Highness Qin, see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness, and See Princess Xi!" He didn't panic, and he was able to distinguish the identities of the people one by one. The Ji Empire's understanding of the Great Qin Empire, at least the homework is absolutely adequate.
"Do you know us?" Feng Jixing said coldly.
"No, it's just the first time I saw the dignity of the three His Royal Highnesses."
"Then how do you recognize us?"
Zhou Xin smiled freely: "It's very simple. The three majesty's prestige spread far and wide. The King of Qin Lin Muyu is well versed in the power of the law of the whole system, looks handsome, believes in Wang Feng's steadiness and calmness, and is well versed in the three rules of wind, fire and thunder, and believes in Wang Qinyan. The youngest of the three, Princess Tang Xiaoxi has an extremely beautiful appearance and can be called the number one beauty in the Broken Ding Realm. How could I not know him?"
"What a slick tooth." Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "Zhou Xinyao, since you are the envoy of the Tianji Empire, then tell me what you came for?"
"Yes, Princess Xi."
Zhou Xin shook his head, ignoring the gaze of a group of civil servants and generals of the Great Qin Empire, saying: "The Tianji Empire is located in the northwest direction of the Celestial Continent. It has a vast land and a prosperous people's livelihood. The land is rich and prosperous, so I want to form an alliance and support each other. Along the way, I have seen several prefectures and chambers of commerce in Lingdong Province, and I deeply admire the prosperity of the Great Qin Empire, your country’s brocade, The silk weaving skills are superbly crafted and can be regarded as a thing of the world. Therefore, I request to do business with your country and use the goods of our Tianji Empire to exchange brocade, silk weaving, etc. with your country."
Lin Muyu has long known that there is no silk in the Celestial Continent, and their brocade clothing is actually only equivalent to the fine cloth of the broken tripod world. In terms of real luxury, I am afraid that Tang Xiaoxi's cloud brocade dress is enough to kill all the concubines in the Tianji City Palace. Of luxurious clothes.
"What do you exchange with us?" Lin Muyu asked.
Zhou Xin shook a smile: "Gold and silver, we have everything we need. If your Highness needs it, the beauties of our Tianji Empire can also be transported to Broken Ding Realm, and your Majesty said, as long as Broken Ding Realm has the sincerity of trade and is willing We will pay 30% of our business income in the coastal seaports of Xiandingjie as a tax."
"Thirty percent?"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Is 30% enough?"
"So, 40%?" Zhou Xin shook his face a little unpleasant.
Lin Muyu's five fingers: "Then 50% is good. By the way, what good things do you have? Except money and women."
"Demon spirit stone." Zhou Xin said lightly.
"Demon spirit stone?" Lin Muyu pretended to be suspicious.
Zhou Xin shook his head and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the demon spirit stone is a kind of treasure that is very different from the spirit stone on your country. Either the sacred realm or the god realm can draw the demon spirit stone without limit, so that a talented genius can obtain a great leap of power in a few years or even half a year."
"You really want to sell demon spirit stones to us?" Feng Jixing asked.
"That's right." Zhou Xin shook his hand and smiled: "But the demon spirit stone is too precious and scarce, so it can only be traded between countries. Every year our Tianji Empire can sell 500 sixth-class monsters. The spirit stones and three thousand seventh-class demon spirit stones are given to your country. The prices are two hundred thousand gold coins and fifty thousand gold coins. I don't know what the three highnesses think?"
"One two hundred thousand gold coin?"
Lin Muyu squinted: "You might as well grab it. Our gold coins are about 30% higher than your country's gold coins, and they are all made of pure gold. The value of gold is equivalent. I think... this Don't worry about the demon spirit stone, come and see you off!"
A group of gentian soldiers stepped forward.
"Wait, His Royal Highness King Qin!"
Zhou Xinyao hurriedly said: "Are you... refuse to do business with us? Trade is a major issue between the two countries. Once your Highness refuses, it may affect the future trade between the two countries. Please think twice."
"Think about business? That's okay."
Lin Muyu smiled and said: "Go back and tell Your Majesty Bei Mingyuan that your cargo ships need to pay 50% of the tax to the government of Lingdong Province after trading at our port. In addition, the cargo ships of the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire We can land and trade at the three seaports of Blue Wind Port, Tianyin Port and White Fish Port in Lingdong Province. I have specially approved several routes for your country and the Blackstone Empire. Your merchant ships can only travel on this route. If you deviate from the route or land in the other ports, you will be attacked by our imperial army. In addition, all merchants from the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire can only stop in the port, and are not allowed to enter the inland. Everyone will dock. After that, register the roster as soon as possible, otherwise you will be arrested, do you understand all of this?"
Zhou Xin was stunned, then took a deep look at Lin Muyu, clasped a fist and smiled: "Qin Wang Lin Muyu, the son of King of Light Qin Jin, really well-deserved reputation, I will worship him!"
He raised his head and said, "Then, everything will be traded in these three major ports according to what His Royal Highness King Qin said."
"We will draft the document for the detailed trade rules." Tang Xiaoxi said, "Please also the envoy, please rest for two or three days in the post in Dongshuang City, take the document and return to your life."
"Yes, I understand, I would like to thank Princess Xi for his hospitality."
"Come here, send the envoy to the post house to rest."
Tang Xiaoxi gave an order, and several forbidden troops immediately stepped forward and asked Zhou Xinyao to leave.
Zhou Xin waved the steady and quiet that this person could not tell, and gently saluted everyone before leaving calmly.
…
Zhou Xin shook away, and everyone was in an uproar.
"This person has a ghost in his heart, so I have to guard against it!" Xiang Yu said, squinting his eyes: "He obviously has at least ten levels of caves in the divine realm, but he hides his breath to only the realm of heaven, huh..."
Lin Muyu said: "It's not the ten-fold cave, but the twenty-one-fold cave!"
"what?"
Luo Xin was stunned: "His Royal Highness Yu, he really has another twenty-one cultivation base."
"Ok."
Although Luo Xin has practiced hard in the past few years, he has only entered the holy heaven. He has no insight into Zhou Xinyao's true strength. On the contrary, the stronger Lin Muyu can see Zhou Xinyao's repressive power with insight, from his breathing and His specific cultivation ability can be judged from the pulse of power.
Zeng Yifan held the jade wat in his hand, and said lightly: "His three, do you think that the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire sincerely want to do business with us?"
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing shook their heads together.
Qin Yan was ignorant of world affairs, and stood there in a daze, discussing the city mansion and plotting, he was much inferior to Lin Muyu and Feng.
"Fan, what do you think of this matter?" Lin Muyu asked.
Zeng Yifan took a deep breath: "It's very simple. The Tianji Empire could have directly attacked by an army, but they didn't, but they took a lot of effort to send Zhou Xinyao this envoy. Then there are only two reasons. First, The reason is that Zhou Xinyao’s envoy was fake, and it’s true to listen to our army’s fictitiousness. The second reason is that they are delaying time. The arrival of Zhou Xinyao is just a deception. Maybe the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire still Have other plans."
"Yes..." Feng Jixing nodded.
Lin Muyu pressed the hilt of the sword with a chill in his eyes, and said: "Then we will not change in order to cope with all changes. Send more scouts and warships into the East China Sea to keep track of the enemy's situation at any time, and then send people to stare at Zhou Xin. Shake, don't let him act rashly in Dongshuang City! Besides, where is Bailichang?"
The navy commander Bai Licang took a step forward: "The end is here!"
"How is the assembly of naval ships?"
Bai Licang said in a deep voice: "Two thousand warships and nearly one hundred thousand naval officers and soldiers have settled in major military ports. In addition, two hundred high-rise ships have arrived from Daojiang. If nothing else, it will be two days later. Can reach the east coast."
"Well, good. Then retreat and go back to prepare for battle!"
Lin Muyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Ministry of Industry, Ziling, you stay."
