Chapter 919 Chapter 919: Yuanhuang’s fifth year (Part 1) [Requesting monthly votes]
The matter of grain seeds has made progress, and Shen Tang took some reassurance.
As for bargaining?
She couldn't be more relieved to leave a few to Gu Chi.
Shen Tang was relieved, but Wu Yuan was so frustrated that his low blood pressure was cured, and his blood pressure soared every day. The people here in Beimo came well prepared. Once they encountered a point that they could argue with, they would take the initiative to arouse their emotions, trying to use their excitement and momentum to take advantage and pursue the victory. However, they encountered Luan Xin, who was slow to do anything. Damn it, how can the emotions here in Beimo match up?
This is just like being poured cold water on your emotions, or being interrupted when you are having a good conversation. It's fine once or twice, but if it happens three times, four times or five times, who can survive it? No matter how well-mannered you are, he will provoke you into nameless anger. When you are angry, you will easily make mistakes.
Gu Chi accurately understood the other party's thoughts. It's just that most of these people were prompted by Wu Yuan, and they were very cautious during negotiations, and even deliberately exposed flaws in their hearts, taking the initiative to expose the "bottom price" for fishing. Gu Chi was not easily fooled either. The two sides went back and forth, scheming, and arguing over the price of a standard-quality tea brick. Gong Cheng listened to it for two days.
Bei Mo’s purchase price is only twelve cents different from Shen Tang’s offer. Both sides refused to give an inch for these twelve coins, cutting them off penny by penny. Naturally, Beimo wanted to make it as cheap as possible, and wished he could wipe out twelve cents. On Shen Tang's side, he presented the facts, reasoned, and estimated the cost, and refused to lose a penny. Gong Cheng watched as Bei Mo was completely angered by Luan Xin. One person was so angry that he opened his eyes angrily. He grabbed the objects at hand and threw them on the ground, speaking in Beimo dialect.
Gu Chi understands the Northern Desert language.
The quarrel escalated to a physical conflict.
If he just drew his sword without using his literary spirit, the matter should not be a big deal. Gong Cheng watched the excitement for a while, then continued to sit outside the tent with his arms folded, basking in the sun. The temperature in the first month was still very cold, and even the sunlight shining on the body was chilly. There were quarrels in the camp behind him, and from time to time, the sound of clothes torn to pieces could be heard. Gong Cheng was yawning when Wu Yuan ran out with his back bent.
Gong Cheng didn’t want to use the word “vulgar” to describe his friend.
So, to change the word, sneaky?
“Is there a fight inside?”
Gong Cheng looked at Wu Yuan’s crooked hair crown.
Wu Yuan smoothed up the hair hanging on his forehead and straightened his hair crown, with a slightly frightened expression: "Are they all so noisy?"
Wu Yuan did not end the negotiation personally.
He represents the Northern Desert Royal Court and is the leader of the envoy team. As the leader of Kang State, Shen Tang did not come in person, and it was not easy for Wu Yuan to get started. He had a more important thing to do, which was to follow Shen Tang to see the grain seeds. The grain seeds were related to Bei Mo's plans. Wu Yuan had to be cautious, fearing that Shen Tang would use the grain seeds to harm Bei Mo. He would leave early and return late. Time will pass on the progress of negotiations.
I had time to take a look today and almost became a fish in a pond.
Gong Cheng said quietly: "It's pretty much the same."
Wu Yuan's face turned livid: "It's an insult to politeness."
Gong Cheng reminded: "Our side makes the first move."
Negotiation can only be done with words, how can we get started?
The people here in Beimo are very popular and have poor self-cultivation. When Luan Zhengyi drags them down from time to time, their tempers will rise. Once they get angry, they can't control their actions. Isn't this just putting the handle in the opponent's hands? According to Gong Cheng, these twelve coins are definitely a loss.
Wu Yuan felt aggrieved: "That Luan Gongyi is really..."
He couldn't think of the right words for a while.
A faint smile finally appeared on Gong Cheng's face: "I went to inquire and found out that Luan Gongyi has always been like this, not reacting quickly."
People are born like this, and it really is not intentional.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but muttered and complained: "Why did Shen Youli recruit such a person? Isn't it uncomfortable for her to discuss things on weekdays?"
A person with a more impatient personality really wants to meet Luan Xin. Gas explosion!
Gong Cheng: "Maybe it's because I'm used to it, or maybe, because of Luan Gongyi's leg, I have more patience."
They have been staying at Shen Tang Camp these days.
Although Gong Cheng did not have much direct contact with Shen Tang, judging from what the sergeant heard, the leader of the Kang Kingdom was decisive in attacking externally, but he was kind and gentle internally, especially to the old, weak, sick and disabled. people. In this regard, he is not like the leader of a country.
Hearing this, Wu Yuan muttered something vaguely.
The negotiations finally came to fruition.
Out of twelve articles, Beimo only managed to save two.
In addition to tea bricks, the price of salt was also discussed.
Shen Tang supplies it exclusively. There is not much room for negotiation in Bei Mo. In addition, Bei Mo has a plan - when Bei Mo is ready, how much tea and salt will be needed to send troops south to attack Kang State? No? As much as you want! Even if Shen Tang takes advantage, how many years will she be able to take advantage? Henhenxin gritted his teeth and admitted it, and Beimo also used "generousness" to once again show his sincerity in the mutual trade.
As long as she can relax her vigilance a little, it’s not a loss. In addition to these two major items, horses and farming tools were also discussed.
The proportion of brave warriors in the army is not high, and not all brave warriors can transform into war horses. War horses are not only used for combat. The demand for horses from the outside world remains high. Most areas in the Northern Desert are natural horse farms, which have absolute advantages in breeding. Horse exports are a major economic pillar in the Northern Desert. Shen Tang naturally had to buy horses in order to establish communication at the post station.
The Northern Desert Negotiation Mission, as a seller, instantly became excited.
It was the turn of the plowing tools, and my few words became wilted again.
Shen Tang needs the horses from the Northern Desert, and the Northern Desert also needs the farming tools from Shen Tang. Good farming tools can greatly improve work efficiency and farmland yield, but there is not much technology in this area in the Northern Desert. The manufacturing industry of trees is still in its infancy, and the farming tools used are old models from decades or even hundreds of years ago.
A typical example of a set of farming tools being passed down for three generations!
After preliminary negotiations, Wu Yuan and others didn't want to stay for a long time.
This happens to be the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yuanhuang.
When Shen Tang received the news that Wu Yuan and his party left Linxiang County, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Bei Mo is really good at grinding. After Gong Yunchi left, I can finally relax for two days. ”
With Gong Cheng’s current strength, staying in his own base camp, any secret can be stolen by the other party if he is not careful. Shen Tang didn't care at all on the surface, but secretly he was nervous and didn't dare to relax. Now they are finally gone and completely unblocked!
I say it’s relaxing, but actually I can’t relax.
According to Shen Tang's original plan, she planned to finalize the current official system before the seventh day of the first lunar month and spread the arrangement along with the year name throughout the country. As a result, Wu Yuan had to trade with each other as soon as he arrived. Shen Tang was busy with matters in Beimo and postponed the official system again.
The first year of Yuanhuang, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
It was also the penultimate day before Qishan left for Sibao County.
Shen Tang notified everyone two days in advance that a meeting was going to be held. In a sense, it was considered a court meeting. Anyone who could not afford to be ill would come. She also made a special trip to an open venue to avoid the crowd being uncomfortable.
When everyone arrived, the seats had been arranged.
Just take your seat according to your name.
There are also several brochures placed on the desk.
Shen Tang has not officially announced to the world, and everyone still calls her lord. Shen Tang waved his hand: "No need to be too polite, let's vote based on the principle of fairness and justice."
Ordinarily, things like the official system are either inherited from the predecessors, or slightly modified on the basis of the predecessors. For modifications, whether the name should be taboo and whether the official duties should be deleted or modified should all be taken into consideration. Everything is based on the will of the king.
Call Shen Tang lazy. She collected all the official information she could find, and after excluding the redundant ones, there were still more than a dozen sets left.
Call Shen Tang diligent, she let everyone vote by themselves.
Seeing that no one spoke, Shen Tang said: "We are all our own people, what's wrong with choosing a nicer title for yourself?"
When entering officialdom, people are often referred to by their official titles: "Look Look at this, under the ruler of the country, there are three princes and three orphans, the prime minister, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and foreign military, and the chief minister of Otsuka. ... By mistake, I thought I was Dazai Zhongqing, so-and-so Dazai Zhong? But this sounds good, Tianguan, Diguan, Chunguan, Xiaguan, Qiuguan, Dongguan... It's just too complicated. It was hard to speak again."
Everyone: "..."
They all rejected this in their hearts.
For example, the Heavenly Official has a subordinate official named Yuzhengshang Dafu who is responsible for drafting edicts, the Nayanzhong Dafu serves the king, the Sihuizhong Dafu is in charge of financial auditing, the Food Department Zhongdao is in charge of the diet of the king... he is also in charge of the guards and eunuchs, and others. His facial features are somewhat normal. The local official controls the land of the people. In the land, Xia Guan is in charge of military affairs, Qiu Guan is in charge of criminal law, and Dong Guan's functions are similar to the Ministry of Industry...
Shen Tang took out another volume and opened it, saying: "This set is quite special. Under the leadership of the country, there are Internal service officer, external service officer..."
Of course, she had no intention of adopting it.
Shen Tang took out another one, and everyone also opened the volume. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is normal. According to the information collected, this is relatively popular, and the Northwest Continent and other regions also use this set as a template for deletion and modification.

Ask for a leave.
I recently signed up for personal training and went to check in every afternoon. I haven’t lost much weight, but my complexion looks better than before.
PS: Time flows directly into the fifth year of Yuanhuang, and the plot fast-forwards to one year before the attack on the Northern Desert.
