Heavenly Dao Formula

In the living room, Wu Yueyao's tired eyes finally revealed a hint of joy.

She crossed the sea at a risk, with few people left around, and was bitten by the enemy after landing. After paying a huge price, she finally got a confirmed answer.

"Then when can we go to Shangyuan City?"

The witch asked impatiently.

She has already found out that the capital of Qi State is named Shangyuan.

After a moment of silence, Ning Wanjun showed a troubled expression, "Father has entrusted me to handle this matter, so we don't have to go to Shangyuan."

Good acting! Xia Fan sighed inwardly.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the embarrassment was because of this matter, or because he changed the holy majesty he usually talked about into his father.

"Not going to... Shangyuan?" Wu Yueyao couldn't help being taken aback.

"Let's put it this way, Daqi and Yongguo are not the same, especially when it comes to foreign affairs. Even if we go, at most the Ministry of Rites will be in charge of hospitality, and the officials in Gyeonggi are destined not to care too much about Jinxia City." Speaking of Here Ning Wanjun's embarrassment is even more serious, "If I remember correctly, Yamaguchi is in a disadvantageous situation in this war, right?"

Wu Yueyao unconsciously bit her lips, "That's true."

"Then Dongsheng may overwhelm your country in the future and become the new leader on the other side." Ning Wanjun secretly pressured, "According to the habits of those old guys in the Ministry of Rites, they are more inclined to wait for you to decide who is superior before considering the covenant. It was precisely because I couldn't understand their style of eating vegetarian meals with corpses that I persuaded my father to hand them over to me. You don't have to worry about private salt—the people above don't care about Jinxia City, I care."

This continuous pressing and hitting made the princess completely gain the upper hand in terms of momentum.

The most important thing is that she really grasped the other party's vitals.

Wu Yueyao was silent for a moment, "May I ask, if the covenant is signed, when will your country plan to take measures to stop illegal salt?"

"The day of signing is the day of action." Ning Wanjun said without hesitation.

"Please allow me to discuss with my subordinates..."

"It's okay." The princess smiled softly.

Just as Wu Yueyao, Ning Hong and the others bowed their heads and whispered, Ning Wanjun secretly winked at Xia Fan, and the confidence on his face was clearly identifiable.

Although this matter is far from being on the disadvantaged side for May, after all, they need others, but being able to make full use of their own advantages is also a talent in itself.

In terms of political ability, the three princesses are obviously much higher than May Yao.

Xia Fan even felt a little sympathetic to the witch.

It's just that at this time, it is absolutely beneficial to Jinxia to bind the interests of Yamaguchi with Jinxia.

The other party's discussion soon came to fruition.

"Your Highness, we are happy to sign a covenant with you, but we still hope to get the imperial court's approval."

"Of course, there will be no shortage of necessary procedures, including signing, book recording, and giving feedback." Ning Wanjun was obviously well prepared.

This calm attitude also reassured Wu Yueyao a lot, "Then I will thank Your Highness."

The title of witch is tantamount to acknowledging the relationship between the two parties in disguise.

Ning Wanjun raised the corner of her mouth, "Since that's the case, let's discuss the details now."

With the main direction, the process is just another form of bargaining.

When Qiuyue put on the third set of candles, the rough covenant was basically finalized.

The Yama Kingdom is willing to pay Daqi two million taels of silver, a thousand pearls, and some other specialties every year in exchange for the protection and trade rights of the Qi Kingdom.

Yama's foreign envoys are stationed in Jinxia, ​​and Jinxia will also send envoys across the sea to further deepen bilateral ties.

This means that the evil horse has been recognized by the state of Qi, and its enemies Dongsheng and other vassal states have correspondingly become the unorthodox faction. Apart from the prohibition of private salt, this matter is probably what the great witch wants most. After all, integrity is highly valued in this era. If the news of the re-establishment of the relationship between the evil horse and the mainland dynasty spreads, the reputation of the rebels will definitely be hit hard.

And when the princess proposed to use salt as the main gift, Wu Yueyao immediately agreed.

Even judging from the other party's expression, there was a feeling of surprise.

Dongsheng can use salt to win over other princes, and Yama can also use salt to divide each other. Even as a mere commodity, salt is of great value.

For Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan, the most direct benefit of the covenant is that they can get a stable income every year.

Although compared to the amount of ten million taels, two million is directly 80% less, but compared to the huge Yongguo, they only occupy one city, which is already a huge sum of money. Especially when the princess has no taxation rights, a stable income channel can greatly reduce the financial pressure on her governance.

As for the terms of the right to trade and sending envoys, they seem like extras, but Xia Fan knows in his heart that their significance lies not in this moment, but in the future. Therefore, he insisted on adding the word "mutual" to similar agreements.

Finally, he also proposed the immigration treaty.

That is, residents on the other side are encouraged to settle in Daqi, and the government will not impose restrictions on this.

The princess obviously had difficulty understanding the meaning of this provision for a while, but she didn't notice too many problems from the words alone, and out of trust in Xia Fan's frequent subversion of common sense, she did not express any objection on the spot.

This is especially true for May Haruka.

Human power is rarely viewed as a precious resource in this day and age.

More often, the non-agricultural population and those without property are often regarded as a burden by the rulers.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, this agreement is more like an agreement that is beneficial to Yama.

After the covenant was signed, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

"The next step is to let the Wang family stop." Ning Wanjun squeezed the bones of her fingers, "Do you have any good ideas?"

He Guicai was the first to speak, "I think that maybe we can call Wang Yi'an over first, and find out what he has to say."

This was the first time Xia Fan saw the other party speak, and it turned out that her staff officer was not a decoration.

"I don't think it's right," Xu Sanzhong, the commander of the guards, objected. "His Royal Highness is not valued in the eyes of the Wang family. Such a temptation may only lead to the opposite result. The humble staff thinks that they must first let them know His Highness's determination and means, and beat will work."

"You don't plan to attack the Wang family first, do you? This is not on the battlefield."

"It's just chopping off two family members, not Wang Yi'an's own hands."

"I said this is not the border!"

"The principle of knocking mountains and shaking tigers still works."

Ning Wanjun turned her head to look at Xia Fan, "What about you, what do you think?"

Xia Fan curled his lips, "The two of them are very reasonable, it's better to neutralize each other."

"Oh? How to neutralize it?"

"Take advantage of his power." He spread his hands and said, "I think the Donghai Gang contributed a lot to the Wang family's control of the private salt channel. But it is impossible to put this kind of relationship on the table, even if the Donghai Gang is uprooted." , the Wang family has no place to seek justice. Besides, there is Dongsheng Kingdom behind this gang, so it is reasonable to eradicate them. I think there is no more suitable target than this."

Ning Wanjun laughed softly, this proposal obviously suits her appetite very much, "That's right. The monster is confusing the crowd, how can you tolerate it. This time the action should be led by your command department."
