The night was getting dark, and the emperor Zhao Guo and the officials were still discussing. Zhao Guozhong ordered Ji Buxian to talk for a long time, but he didn't even finish one-tenth of the matter.
Seeing dinner, Ji Buxian had to give a suggestion: "Your Majesty, we don’t have to hurry to meet Xu Ren first, you can let Xu Ren'inspect' under Zhao Guo, walk more, you can easily squeeze out for us Ten days and a half months."
This method is good, the emperor Zhao Guo immediately agreed. And in order to show importance, let the prince accompany Xu Ren and visit Zhao.
At this time, Xu Ren was talking with Wen Xiaowei and had been talking for half an afternoon. This time Wen Xiaowei was negotiating in place of the Western Chu Kingdom. Apart from reminiscing the old, naturally he also mentioned the main points:
Simply put, the Western Chu Kingdom also wants to build a big artery with the Shang Kingdom!
But the requirements of the Western Chu Kingdom are a bit high: first, it cannot coincide with the great artery of the "Zhao Kingdom-Shang Kingdom", and it cannot be said that it extended from the Zhao Kingdom to the Western Chu Kingdom.
The requirements of the Western Chu Kingdom are to go directly east, bypass the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and then follow the big river to the Yue Kingdom on the east coast; then connect the coast to the north to connect the Kingdom of Shang.
After the construction of this aorta is completed, it can be connected to Zhao's aorta.
This requirement is no longer high, but simply unreasonable! It is more reasonable for the Western Chu Kingdom, but it is completely unsuitable for the Shang Kingdom, because this large artery really needs to be constructed in this way, and it has too few benefits for the Shang Kingdom.
However, Xu Ren did not refuse, but said that this matter had to be returned to the Shang Kingdom for discussion.
However, Wen Xiaowei is not very young, but after all, he is the young patriarch of the Taoist sect and has a political vision. At this time, it was dark, and Wen Xiaowei took out his killer tool: "Mr. Xu, look, can you build the "West Chu Kingdom-Shang Kingdom" artery first?
If the Kingdom of Shang is willing to take the lead in connecting Xi Chu, then we are willing to give twice the conditions and remuneration of Zhao. "
Xu Ren smiled and said nothing. After a while, he repeated: "This matter, I can't take the lead. If Wen Gongzi really wants to negotiate, please talk to the king. As long as the king speaks, everything will not be a problem. Similarly, if The wise king does not speak, nothing is possible."
Wen Xiaowei touched a nail, and he also heard the meaning of Xu Ren delivering guests. But politicians, the face must be thicker. Wen Xiaowei smiled naturally and splendidly, "Mr. Xu, in order to welcome Mr. Xu, we specially prepared the treasures of the West Chu Kingdom. I wonder if Mr. can reward his face?"
With this saying, Xu Ren couldn't refuse. If you refuse, you will ‘don’t appreciate your face.’
Xu Ren hesitated, revealing a bit of embarrassment, and only then "very helplessly" agreed to Wen Xiaowei's invitation.
Saying that Xu Ren was really embarrassed, this came to Zhao State, but he first went to the banquet in Western Chu State. But Wen Xiaowei said that when he said this, Xu Ren could not refuse.
And this matter seems to be caused by Zhao Guo's own negligence.
If it was Wei Guo's invitation, Xu Ren would definitely refuse, because Wei Guo and Zhao Guo are world feuds. You can't do things on your head. However, the Western Chu Kingdom and the Eastern Chu Kingdom are world feuds, but the relationship with Zhao Guo is okay.
However, here is after all Zhao Guo's chassis. It is not that simple for Wen Xiaowei to cut the Hu. This did not just leave the door, Prince Zhao Guo came in person, "Mr. Xu, the father emperor arranged a dinner and invited Mr. to participate."
Xu Ren really took the wax, and I wiped it. You didn’t come sooner or later, but you came here at this time. If it wasn’t intentional, I would write the name upside down.
But although Xu Ren is not a politician, Yuan Yong next to him is. The key time is of course Yuan Yong's early appearance, "His Royal Highness, this is Wen Xiaowei, who is extremely sectarian. Wen Xiaowei also talked about the prince just now."
Yuan Yong is an old fox. He introduced Wen Xiaowei and gave the right of choice to Prince Zhao.
Crown Prince Zhao Ming looked at Yuan Yong, then Wen Xiaowei, and he murmured. How could Prince Zhao not know Wen Xiaowei. But Yuan Yong introduced it like this, but Prince Zhao Guo began to sit on the wax.
There are two options before Prince Zhao Guo:
The first and best option is to invite Wen Xiaowei to the banquet together so that everyone has a good face. Negotiations, and I will talk about it later, there is time.
Second, send someone to **** Wen Xiaowei back to the embassy of West Chu Kingdom, where to go back and forth! In the future, there will be a pimple between Zhao State and Western Chu State.
Fortunately, Zhao Ming, the crown prince of Zhao State, was not a fool, and he made a decision as soon as his eyes turned. Pretend not to know the general greeting with Wen Xiaowei, and invite Wen Xiaowei to the banquet, Zhao Guo's royal banquet!
Wen Xiaowei naturally promised. At the emperor's banquet, he could clearly judge the relationship between Zhao Guo and the Shang Kingdom. This opportunity would not be missed by any keen politician. Wen Xiaowei will naturally not let go.
Although it was a bit ugly to do so, although Zhao Ming’s prince Zhao Ming showed a refusal in his eyes, Wen Xiaowei smiled very brightly, “Thank you, Your Highness, for inviting me, then I’ll be disturbed.”
You also feel annoyed, you can not come! Prince Zhao Ming squeezed out a stiff smile and invited Wen Xiaowei to the banquet.
A group of people sat in a luxurious sedan chair and came to the palace comfortably. The palace was brightly lit, and the officials put on casual clothes. They welcomed Xu Ren and representatives of the main embassy of the Shang Kingdom with a smile.
Wen Xiaowei observed quietly. The more he observed, the heavier he was. Through a series of small details, he could see the situation between Zhao and Shang Kingdom.
All the officials put on casual clothes, which is the most obvious signal. This is to be a family. It seems that Zhao Guo is fully accepting the Shang Kingdom, and is even preparing for the most comprehensive exchange.
But then Wen Xiaowei thought of the destroyed Yang Guo and immediately sighed. Yang Guo and Zhao Guo were separated by only one mountain. Yang Guo was wiped out, which is expected to give Zhao Guo great stimulation.
The banquet was very cheerful. Everyone didn't talk about specific politics. They just talked about small household items and brought closer to each other. Only Wen Xiaowei feels like a superfluous part. In this banquet, it feels like an outsider.
But even in an embarrassing situation, Wen Xiaowei just smiled all the way, remembering every sentence of the conversation at the banquet. There are many contents revealed between these words that Wen Xiaowei could not understand at one time. But it's okay, just write it down and ask your elders when you go back.
The atmosphere of the banquet is getting higher and higher. With the rise of the wine and the various performances of the previous Shang Kingdom (including the elimination of Yang Guo), officials of Zhao Guo began to ask various questions.
Finally, Liu Dabo, Zhao Shu’s military advisor, asked a question, "Mr. Xu, if our military is now refitting, forming combat effectiveness, and has sufficient supply capacity, how long will it take at the earliest?"
Xu Ren was also a little excited. Such a banquet had to be excited. The emperor toasted, but dare not be excited. Now that he was excited, Xu Ren didn't have to turn around and play tricks. He said directly: "It depends on what fighting power and supplies Liu Shangshu wants.
If it is just a few guns and a few bullets, it can be done within half a month. Everything is airlifted directly from the Shang Kingdom, and the Shang Kingdom can dispatch military advisers.
As for the localized production line, it is better to build slowly in the later period.
I don’t dare to say that with full air support, our Shang Kingdom can fully support the firearms and bullets of 50,000 troops in your country.
But if Liu Shangshu's so-called combat effectiveness is nationwide, it will be slow, and it will take at least a year to achieve initial results.
If we want the nation to develop combat power, we must first reform the system, followed by sufficient talents, unimaginable capital investment, and certain infrastructure.
Technology, general talents, Shang Kingdom can temporarily support a part.
However, the relevant systems, officials and supervision are not achieved overnight.
In addition, to build combat effectiveness across the country, there must be sufficient infrastructure. These infrastructures include mines, factories, transportation routes and transportation, etc.
And all of this will require unimaginable capital investment. I'm afraid that one billion two gold won't be able to stop.
Under the leadership of the Yin King and the blank foundation, the Shang Kingdom built the current Shang Kingdom. But from the initial development of industry in the Shang Kingdom to the present, the funds invested before and after have been an astronomical figure. Over the years, the country’s profits have all been invested in research and infrastructure.
Moreover, if your country wants to form a nationwide fighting power, the first thing to do is to change the system.
A person's thinking determines a person's future, and a person's state (wisdom) determines the height of spiritual practice. The system of a country determines the future of a country. "
At this moment, Wen Xiaowei suddenly said, "Mr. Xu said it well. But I would take the liberty to disturb, what if all the equipment was purchased from the Kingdom of Shang to form industrial production capacity first?"
