354. The Stupid Queen
"Don't worry, I'm no longer interested in Princess Funing, but I'm retreating again and again. How sincere do you Dazhou have to make friends with Dachu?"
When the queen heard him let go, she was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "What are the conditions? Your Highness can just mention it. As long as you don't let Funing marry you, it's all right."
The emperor was so angry that he snorted coldly before the queen lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ye Qianjin smiled lazily and said, "Since the marriage cannot be achieved, the Great Chu will naturally not give up the Chiyan City. Moreover, this time it was the benefit that the Empress had previously promised. Please send a document from the Great Zhou Kingdom to issue a document, and it will be able to be fulfilled this year. This is not the person who is unreasonable and insists on breaking up the good marriage between others. That's all."
The emperor also knew that marriage would not be successful, and Chiyan City would naturally be difficult to return to the Great Zhou territory. However, this matter cannot be forced, and it cannot be exchanged for Yunxi's happiness. In the future, there will always be a chance to rob the city of real ammunition, and this is exchanged for the price of a woman's life.
But, what is this extra benefit...it is it?
The emperor looked at the queen with a sharp look. The queen knew that she could not escape, so she whispered: "It's nothing, it's just opening up the trade route of Chishui City to Da Chu, allowing Da Chu to pass through Chishui and go to Dayue Kingdom all the way..."
Ye Qianjin raised his eyebrows again after hearing this and looked at the queen with a funny look.
The emperor's face had begun to turn blue. The moon was short of iron, and the Great Chu was short of food. The Great Zhou was in the middle of the two countries, and it just blocked the trade route between the two countries, allowing the Dayue's grain and the iron of the Great Chu to transfer in the Great Zhou. The money earned in a year was not a decimal. Since the queen dared to respond privately, open Chishui City?
He didn't know that Da Chu had been coveting Chishui for many years? Is this a treason?
"Is this the only one?" The emperor's voice was full of biting coldness.
The queen finally felt a little panicked, and lowered her head and whispered: "Every year, supplying 100,000 stone of salt in Dachu at a affordable price..."
The Great Chu is a northern inland country with a shortage of salt, while the Great Zhou produces sea salt and lake salt. Salt is a necessity for the people's daily life. Salt is sometimes more dangerous than food shortage. The trade routes between the Great Chu and the Great Yue Kingdom are not open, so salt can only be introduced from the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the Great Zhou cut off the supply of salt from the Great Chu, the Great Chu Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos, and the queen... actually betrayed the interests of the Great Zhou for a daughter!!!
The emperor's mood can no longer be described as anger. His eyes look at the queen are so suffocating.
Ye Qianjin added lightly from the side: "What are the Queen doing by doing scatteredly? She won't tell you what she wants to do? We have already drafted an agreement. Although it is not considered a document, it is also a word for contract. If you are embarrassed to say it, then this palace will show you a showdown."
As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and recited: "Open ten plazas on the border between Dazhou and Dachu, and allow Dazhou and Dachu to trade normally. Dazhou supplies 10,000 kilograms of cotton and 10,000 kilograms of silk to Dachu every year..."
The emperor couldn't bear to listen, and his hands holding the teacup were shaking. The empress dowager finally couldn't help but sneer and said to the emperor indifferently: "Even if Funing married, he would give too much dowry. Is it worthwhile to demolish the beams and buy tiles when sitting in Chiyan City? If this continues, the Great Zhou will return to the territory of the Great Chu, which will save a lot of trouble."
