The war ended very quickly, but the peace talks were not so fast. The process of the peace talks was definitely a difficult process. People in the Cao family business knew this very well, so Li Cong prepared
When looking for a deputy for Wu Zuoxi, each of these people was either not good enough here or not good there. In the end, Li Cong had no choice but to let Gu Xin follow him. He could be said to be the first-level manager of the Cao Family Trading Company.
There are one of the few people with brains among them. If he follows, he can also make up for Wu Zuoxi's shortcomings. Although Li Cong believes in Wu Zuoxi, sometimes he has to look at this person's use of brain power.
It is impossible for a person to not have any weaknesses, just like Wu Zuoxi now. If there is something slightly wrong, he may be able to see it, but if they hide it, your energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to hide it.
Everything is seen so accurately. You must know that there is a huge trading company behind you. Any mistake is a big deal. The capital of the Southern Empire is now like a tiger's den. If you really go there, you won't know.
What will happen, so there must be a deputy. Gu Xin doesn’t really want to take this position, but looking at the people around him, they all seem to be very busy. It seems that
Since I don't have much to do, I don't seem to have any reason to refuse. In fact, if I look for reasons, I can always find a few reasons, but after all, I have no reason to explain, so I have to go this time.
, this trip seems impossible to complete in less than half a year. I will really have a lot of fun in the next six months, I hope I will not be lonely.
Before leaving, Gu Xin also came to Li Cong and talked for a while. Li Cong's request to him was to respect Wu Zuoxi. Li Cong single-handedly promoted Gu Xin. He had nothing before, but compared with Wu Zuoxi,
He is loyal. Li Cong can tell him directly no matter what the order is, but it cannot be done with Wu Zuoxi. Although the two parties are now cooperating very well and are friends, Li Cong cannot have the same intention as the order Gu
When ordering Wu Zuoxi, the feeling between the two parties was the same as that of friends. Wu Zuoxi had more autonomy than them. It was because of this that Li Cong asked Wu Zuoxi to be the official negotiator. If Gu Xin was responsible
If so, this guy will definitely not make any changes and will do everything according to Li Cong's wishes. These two people seem to be masters and trained to reach the level of seventh-level warriors by relying on their own abilities. Wu Zuoxi is that one
A person who relies on his own ability to get up, but this person's brain is incomplete and belongs to Li Cong. Gu Xin is trained to get up. Although he may not have much potential in the future, but from now on, this guy is the best.
In the center, no matter what kind of thing you ask, he will never ask you for any reason. He will agree to it. This is the most fundamental difference between the two people. Such two people have their own shortcomings, but they must be
If they are all gathered together, the gap can be said to be very small, and sometimes even better positive energy may be generated.
The news that the Cao Family Trading Company sent two first-level managers to negotiate instantly spread throughout the Southern Empire. The Southern Empire also felt that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company really valued it, and at the same time, they were under great pressure.
.They know that Li Cong will definitely gain more benefits from this negotiation. On the surface, the Southern Empire has not been defeated this time, but they all understand that they have actually failed. The second line of defense is
This is the last line of defense they can use. Now the senior officials of the Southern Empire have not seen their failure. They believe that the empire can still form a third line of defense. For some of them, this request
It was just a delaying tactic. They would never surrender to a trading company. In their opinion, as long as the army behind them came up, the third line of defense would be successful immediately. At that time, it was the Cao Family Trading Company.
When people are unlucky, they will definitely think that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company have relaxed their vigilance. In fact, this is definitely not the case. The military supplies and other supplies of the Cao Family Trading Company are also at a very low level, and they also need to deal with them in large quantities.
Some weapons and other things were delivered to the front line, and some of their troops also came over. Each of these people also felt it. They all knew that this peace talk was not really starting now, and maybe it would be one later.
Real peace talks, but that time may depend on the outcome of the competition between the two sides. No one will admit defeat easily. If you admit defeat on the battlefield, you can get it back at the negotiation table, but if everyone admits defeat at the negotiation table, then
There is really nothing left. Whether it is the Southern Empire or the Cao Family Trading Company, they will not admit defeat directly at the negotiation table.
The ruling and opposition parties of the Southern Empire did not have much attitude towards this negotiation. For them, the war-torn front line had little to do with them. What they wanted to know was the deposits they had in the Cao Family Trading Company in the past.
Is it still valid? The Southern Empire directly banned the Cao Family Trading Company. Most of the movable assets of the Cao Family Trading Company have already been taken away. This means that those deposits and other things are impossible to realize.
It is impossible that your country has robbed other people's properties, but you still have assets. In fact, Li Cong has also thought about this problem. To be honest, the loss of the Cao family business in the Southern Empire this time is tens of thousands.
They only have fixed assets worth hundreds of millions, and 95% of those movable assets are not left behind. Can their assets be guaranteed? If possible, they can go to the trading house and bank of Cao Family Trading Company to do business in the future.
There will definitely be more people. If they don't save it, he can directly swallow their trillions of assets. After all, he can earn it. Li Cong didn't tell them this when they left.
The problem is, just tell them that if the people in the Southern Empire really want to negotiate, this thing can be given to them, but if they don't have that sincerity, I can only feel sorry for them, and also tell the people of the Southern Empire that your
None of the things are in my hands, it was your empire that was destroyed.
The senior officials and wealthy people of the Southern Empire were most concerned about this issue. During this catastrophe, they also confiscated a lot of real estate belonging to the Cao Family Trading Company, because some of the properties of the Cao Family Trading Company were very expensive, such as Li
The several mansions I followed are all located in several big cities in the Southern Empire. Each of them cost more than tens of millions of silver. Now they have become the homes of several nobles in the Southern Empire. If they are asked to move
If so, I guess they won't leave, and even if you leave, can you return to your original appearance? Even if you return to your original appearance, Li Cong will never live in a house like that.
, of course it’s not because there is anything unsafe inside. The most important thing is a matter of face. You guys robbed my house. If I’m afraid of beating you later, just take it back to me. If that’s the case, I will
Isn't it okay to come to your home just once? Li Cong told them directly, we don't want these things anymore. According to the original price, times two, this is the amount of compensation you have to pay, if you are honest
In terms of compensation, there is really no way for this war to start, but if you are not willing to pay this money, then things will be much more interesting. We in the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely start a war again, and this period of time will be regarded as
It's just a casual thing. No one is thinking about real negotiations anyway, but one person must be thinking about completing the negotiation quickly. This person is the emperor of the Southern Empire, and only he knows so much information.
, he really couldn't hold on anymore. The total number of uprisings in the central region now exceeds millions. Such things in history must be put out quickly, otherwise...
In front of us is the powerful enemy Cao's Trading Company. If this guy is not dealt with, it is very likely that these peasant uprisings will drive him out. This is possible. These people have also received a lot of attacks recently.
Supplies, the court of the Southern Empire has long known that this matter was done by people from the Cao Family Trading Company, but you didn't catch them, right? Don't you need evidence for everything nowadays? If you have evidence, of course it is
It’s easy to say anything. But if you don’t have evidence, what should you do? We don’t just follow whatever you say, and we don’t want to carry such a reputation. Besides, we are at war with you now.
Those rebels are also at war with you. Even if we give them benefits, so what? Even if you are dissatisfied, it has nothing to do with us, as long as you can block our lines of communication.
, these rebels now are different from what they were in the mountains. This time the Cao Family Trading Company was able to win on the front line. Er Sha’s men also put in a lot of effort. They knew that with their own strength, they could defeat the enemy.
It is definitely difficult to block the transportation line, but it is also possible to use other methods. They directly cut down some big trees on the mountain. These big trees directly wiped out the entire road. In one night,
Time, please leave for three days, they don't have that time.
Li Cong himself was very clear about the capabilities of these rebels, so after the end of the frontal battlefield, Li Cong immediately increased some subsidies for them, even though they had a slight problem for the time being, they could also use the serial crossbow.
All have been shipped, but the quantity in the past was not that large. In fact, I have a lot of these things, so it’s okay to give them all. The service life is not very long anyway. The reason why I don’t give them to them is not because I am afraid that they will not be able to master them.
The reason why I don't give them to them is that they are afraid that these people will use this and not like to use the previous things. The consumption of this thing is amazing. As long as you move your fingers, ten crossbow arrows will go out. Like this outside
The consumption of crossbows made the people of the Cao Family Trading Company feel uncomfortable, not to mention those in the mountains. On the battlefield, the crossbow arrows of the Cao Family Trading Company had to be 1.8 billion if not 2 billion.
With such results, how are you going to replenish these things in the mountains? If you can't get a large number of serial crossbows, these are just rubbish in your hands. They are not as useful as a blade. And here at Cao's Trading Company
It's impossible to deliver these things to you every day. I can only deliver them to you when I encounter some opportunities. The rest of the things are not that simple. These people in the mountains have now entered the county. Finally,
If it doesn't work, they have to control a small town, but they all feel their own crisis. If the previous war is over, it will soon be over to them. The Southern Empire, who has turned its guns, will definitely not let them go.
, there will be a bloody storm next, they are also thinking about their own way out, many people are thinking of joining forces.
Looking at the history of the Southern Empire, there were indeed quite a few peasant uprisings, but very few of them persisted in the end. Most of them were killed by the government in the later stages, and they could only
It means that the limitations of these people are the same as they are now. After those people who followed the two fools entered the county, they seemed to be different from before. They were sheep before, but now they have become sheep after entering the county.
If there is a wolf, anyone dares to enter anyone's house. They can take everyone's things, and everyone's women can do whatever they want. This will definitely make the people angry. Although the second fool taught a few people a lesson, he didn't do anything.
Dead Hand, everyone is a person who came from the mountains. In the past, this guy Saber was very defensive, and now he looks the same as before. In his opinion, if I hadn’t brought someone in,
Maybe you will all be dragged into the army and fight on the front line. If it weren't for me, you might have died long ago. Now even if the language is not good to you, you can't stand it? This is different from the hardships you suffered before
It's nothing in comparison. It's better for everyone to be honest and not so ignorant. If they position themselves on such a person, how can the people around them not hate them, but that's all
The insurgents all made mistakes, and there is no way around it. We all need to live our lives. We have become human beings. How can we live up to ourselves if we don’t enjoy it? Isn’t this the day we have been thinking about all our lives?
Speaking of which, this guy is pretty good here. With Er Sha and his cousin watching over him, he hasn't done anything too extreme yet, but the people here don't accept them that much. Mainly because they are in the city.
Most of them are rich people. The cost of living in the city for a day is several times that in the countryside. If they don't have money, how can they dare to live here? Since they are rich. Regarding the above
Some of the news is known, so they all want to go to the Southern Empire as soon as possible. In their eyes, it is orthodox. The army and the people are not just a family, even simple cooperation and so on.
It was impossible to do it, and some people's families died when these rebels came in. They put this hatred on the rebels, and even a few civilians appeared to go against the rebels.
Organization, if their skills were not good enough, they might really be killed by those mobs. None of these people know what they are thinking in their heads. They probably haven't seen the restraints clearly yet, so,
These reasons can lead to their destruction. If you want to survive, it is not hopeless. As long as these people unite, they will not be a small force. Such a force can lift people wherever they go.
First of all, this order is also very important, so he started this speech now, hoping to get more people to follow him. For the people on these lands, the Southern Empire behaved quite inhumanely.
In the past, you could spend huge sums of money to buy those young masters, but now they can only grow old here until they die. They were abandoned by the Southern Empire.
The other three empires have also sent their own people to pay attention to this peace negotiation, but they are not so kind. On the surface, these guys have said that the purpose of coming here is to reduce the pressure on both sides. I hope they will not because
This matter was a big deal, but they probably knew the actual situation. In their eyes, the slim waist could weaken the Cao family business to the maximum extent, but it seemed that they didn't have that ability, so they started to change
As for dealing with both sides, it would be a good thing for them if you can't fight back against each other until you have no strength. When the Southern Empire is about to be destroyed, they may ask for help from a few of them, but now the Cao Family Trading Company
It has been dealt with on the performance. They have no intention of destroying the Southern Empire. Now they have to negotiate peace with the Southern Empire. In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. If those four guys are still in the hands of the Southern Empire, according to Li Cong
With his character, it is really possible to destroy the Southern Empire, but there is no such thing now. Now even if he fights with the Southern Empire, it will be of no use. The Southern Empire is simply impossible.
Get those four guys out, and now the Southern Empire's comprehensive national strength has been weakened by one-third. From now on, it will be a huge fat man. Through this war and the following contract, Cao Cao
It is very easy for the people in the family business to kill the Southern Empire. There is no need to put themselves on the opposite side of everyone. That would be a bit bad for them.
The court of the Southern Empire is also discussing this matter at the moment. Just like the Eastern Empire, they have held meetings for several days and have produced no results at all. It's just that now all matters have been handed over to Cao Cao by Minde.
In the hands of the Cao Family Commercial Bank, everything is known to the Cao Family Commercial Bank, so there is no need to talk about the bottom line here. Of course, this guy Minde is also opening his mouth more and more. Generally speaking,
Money and other things have no meaning at all to this guy. What this guy wants this time is Essence and Blood Pill. This kind of thing is what Minde needs most. This thing can increase a person's life by two
For more than ten years, although he does not need this thing now, he can use this thing to help some people he needs to extend his life. The price of this thing is definitely not low, but in order to get more valuable information
, Min De's request can still be given to him. The person responsible for the transaction with him is a secret contact person of the Cao Family Firm in the capital of the Southern Empire, codenamed Mole. He no longer knows how many times he has been here today.
, mainly because there has been too much news recently, and this Min De is becoming more and more cunning. He knows that as long as he wants something, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company will give it to him. It is not only his own business, but also his family's business.
Some of the affairs of the seventh and eighth aunts were also left to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company.
"Haha, it's a mole. It seems that you have to come once when I go to the palace. Will this attract some people's attention? It's better not to come so frequently. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this meeting.
The content is almost the same as last time. Some ministers are just talking. As long as the war fails, even saying a trick at the negotiation table will not be of much use. It is a pity that these people are doing it.
I don't know the current situation, but everyone wants to get something back from here. Don't you think these people are very ridiculous?" Minde also knows the guy in front of him called Mole.
But he is very cunning. He has suffered a lot in the past. Now he just says some useless opening remarks. This is not the first time that the guy on the other side has dealt with him, so he still understands some things very well.
Yes, so far, this guy has always agreed to his request. This matter is not easy to handle this time, but he can do a good job. This time Minde is waiting for the thing he did for himself last time.
, a commercial center in a large city in the north of the Southern Empire, with a street of shops and about seventy shops. Minde said that one of his sons wanted to do business and was attracted by everything there, but his identity prevented him from going out directly.
Bought, all bought for tens of millions of dollars, of course, the surface value is that, in fact it is not that simple, some of the secret transactions are also good, Minde hopes to receive it in his own hands
, whether it is for your son or for yourself, it is very good. Recently, due to the war in the south, the commercial center in the north has begun to become more upscale.
"Sir Minde, I am not very clear about some things in the officialdom of the Southern Empire. However, Lord Minde knows these things very clearly. Sometimes I am not very clear about these things either, but I
Master Minde should be very happy to know these things. My people have been busy for a few days, and now all the business circles have been taken down. Those things are very fixed things, no matter what they are every year.
Even if we don’t do anything, we can earn 4 million taels of silver by collecting rent, and our people have done a good business survey, because the commercial center of the Southern Empire has begun to move to the north, and some transactions with the Northern Empire have also begun.
The income there will increase by 10% every year from now on. Your son will definitely be very satisfied with that place. If the power of our Cao family business can come back, our intermediary business can also give your son a free
For service, you just need to check the accounts every day. Our reputation is not a problem and we will never eat the money belonging to our customers." Mole glanced helplessly at the guy in front of him. His message
It is indeed very important. Although some useless information from some people has also come over, for the intelligence department, any bit of information can analyze a lot of things. This is the role of Minde, and it is also the role of Minde.
It is because of these things that negotiations can be done better.
Hearing that what he requested had come to fruition, Minde had a smile on his face. This guy wanted these things. Now he has obtained hundreds of millions worth of funds through Cao's Trading Company.
These are all working capital, if you include the real estate. With one billion in silver, and some potential income, this guy's gains are more than what he had been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for decades.
Now he feels a little embarrassed about taking money directly. Look at the method of Cao's Commercial Bank. They directly give you some shops and so on, and you can collect rent every year in the future. This kind of thing is no better than giving you money directly.
Isn’t it better to just throw it away? If you give me this money, I’ll spend it all and then I won’t have it anymore. You won’t be able to give me that much money next year, so now I have to help others get things done. If that’s the case
Many things will be better, and they can get some useful information from themselves. Then even if they propose other more extreme things, they will not feel it is too much, because every information they have here can let them get it.
Ten times the profit, so he doesn’t think that he did it at the price offered by the Cao Family Trading Company. If you don’t know the bottom line of these negotiations, how could you save so much? The boy in front of you has a low eyebrow.
He looks very respectful. But Minde knows that the guy in front of him must be scolding himself to death in his heart, saying that he is some kind of vampire, but if there is no such thing as a vampire, maybe your decision-making
There is always a problem. What I am selling here is the interests of the empire. In exchange for only 1% or even less of my own interests, I have lost money.
"Haha, Mole. I don't think you need to look at me with such an expression. Although I am like a vampire to your Cao Family Trading Company, you are a senior member of the Cao Family Trading Company. How can you talk to the following people?
Like those who work for you, do you know how much money I can save for your Cao family business every time? Without me, you would have traveled a lot more, so you shouldn’t look at me with that look.
Look at me. I dare not say that I am the benefactor of your Cao Family Trading Company, but at least our transactions are equal exchanges, just like what Manager Wu said when he came to me. At that time, I was also very tangled in my heart.
I don’t want to betray the empire or His Majesty the Emperor, but what did Manager Wu say to me at that time? I only have one choice. If I don’t do things with you, my own life will be the same as that of my whole family.
Maybe I can't keep it. I'm used to it now. It's not bad to live a life of dancing on the edge of a knife. Don't think that I'm living a good life now. If something happens, you guys in the Cao Family Trading Company will just retreat. But
What can I do? I might be killed. I might be killed. I can only do some more secretive things. I have gained a lot of property during this period. I just want to keep it.
What do you want, but my greatest sorrow is that except for my grandson, I have no descendants." Minde didn't know why he suddenly said such words, and the mole on the side also felt strange. This guy usually doesn't talk to him.
He said so many words himself.
Judging from Min De's previous performance, this mole is just a worker. Such a person can be said to be a servant. In Min De's view, only people like Wu Zuoxi can be equal to him, but he did not think about it.
As he was discussing things with Li Cong, he also knew that there was still a certain gap between himself and the boss of Cao's Trading Company, but compared with people like Mole, he had many advantages. As for now
, the guy in front of me looks so useless, and he doesn’t know what happened to him today, but he actually said so many words to him. Minde is actually not living a very good life now.
What can be said is luxury. Why? He doesn't know when he may not have it anymore, so everything he has to do must be done well. Every dish on the table can even cost tens of thousands of taels. When it is expensive,
There may be more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. No matter how expensive things are, I have eaten them. When giving gifts, I always look for the most expensive ones. Everyone in the family has felt that something is not normal with Minde for a while.
Even the two new concubines felt the same way. In the past, Minde would casually throw them tens of thousands of taels of silver jewelry, and they didn't think it was anything. But now Minde is worth millions of silver.
The tickets were thrown casually in their room. As for Minde's married daughters, things were sent to them every now and then. As long as their grandchildren and granddaughters were celebrating weddings, Minde always gave them a big gift.
These are all worth more than ten million taels of silver. When did Minde become so rich?
These things also caused some abnormalities. Some departments in the Southern Empire also wanted to investigate Minde. However, the emperor was not happy. Why is Minde greedy for money in this position? How much money can he be greedy for?
If a person has no desire, he will definitely have other ideas. In the eyes of the emperor of the Southern Empire, Minde is a person who likes money. He just gives all the money to Tan Mo. But as long as he wants him to do something
When the time comes, do it for yourself as soon as possible. This is a problem-free thing, so there is no such investigation. Moreover, because of some of Minde's performance in work, the emperor often praised this guy, and over time, the censors also
We all know it. The emperor is doting on this guy. We are not brainless people. If we have any conflicts with this guy, we will not be able to take advantage of it. Don't you see that everyone in the court belongs to him?
, sometimes this guy doesn’t care about other people’s opinions when he does things. He has no choice. He has the support of His Majesty the Emperor. Minde also knows that what he has been doing recently is a bit high-profile, but why should he endure it? Everything he does
Things are all matters of the head. It's okay to be low-key now. As long as you can't find out, you can live one day at a time. Aren't the people in the Cao Family Trading Company prepared everything for you, even if the emperor wants to kill you?
.They can also arrange it for themselves. Since they have such a guarantee, what do they have to worry about? Even if they go up and scold the emperor, they are capable of that.
"Mole, don't mind if you talk too much. I am also under too much mental pressure. To be honest, cooperating with people from Cao's Trading Company could be fatal. I have been trying to adjust myself during this period.
. But I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t hold back, and I said so many things. Now write down what you should write down. Today’s imperial righteousness still has no results, and the court ministers don’t have any ideas.
But go back and tell your people to pay attention to this guy, Minister of War. He has proposed to use this period of time to sneak attack on you. Your Cao Family Trading Company occupies a lot of territory, but your defense will also be accordingly.
It has become very difficult. If there is an army that can bypass the Warcraft Mountains and steal your retreat, it is also a good choice. Although such a thing may sound impossible, but I understand this old guy.
, he would definitely not bring up such a thing just because he has nothing to do. He will definitely have his own basis. You'd better investigate this matter, maybe something will happen." Min.
De thought of what the Minister of the Ministry of War said today. Although there were only seven or eight people in the room at that time, all of whom were senior officials of the Southern Empire, His Majesty the Emperor quickly told this guy to shut up. Then they all came out, leaving the Ministry of War.
The minister and the emperor were discussing some things in the room. Do the people of the Southern Empire really have a backup plan? Minde doesn't think so, but no one can say for sure until the end. There may be something.
Woolen cloth.
"There is news from Mr. Xie Minde. This news is very important. This time, I was instructed to ask Mr. Minde to investigate who is serving as the representative for the peace talks, and whether there is a practical solution in the Southern Empire. We
People don’t want to waste time here after coming here, because if the time is delayed for a long time, it will definitely be bad for our Cao family firm. You can use a long time to accumulate your own strength, but our
Basically, the strength will not change much. We have all come out. If we are attacked by you, we will be miserable." Even facing Minde, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company will never take it seriously.
Everything about them has been exposed. Such people are from the same country as you today, but tomorrow they may not know who you are. What these traitors are best at doing is betraying. The difference is that they betrayed today.
This person is you, and he will become someone else's tomorrow. Mole's thoughts are very clear. He didn't take Minde's moment of true feelings to heart just now. For him, such a betrayer would have no interest in the company.
If it was of any use, he would just take out his dagger and kill this guy. So many people died on the front line, and we lost so much money, but this guy used our trading company's money to do this and that.
I really feel uncomfortable. If such a guy can't provide anything useful, what can I do if I kill him? The mole will never answer what he says. He just remembers what this guy said and puts all the things into his mind.
Everything is passed back. As for whether it is true or false, this is beyond my control. I am only responsible for passing it on, and the rest belongs to others.
Min De nodded. This was something that the Cao Family Trading Company urged him to do, but he really didn't know how to answer this question now. The whole court had been discussing this matter for several days.
, but they are not in a hurry, because it will take time for the people from the Cao Family Trading Company to get here. During this period of time, they can slowly find this person, because they are all on the losing side.
, so they all don’t want to be this negotiator. Whoever becomes this representative means that they may be infamy for thousands of years. If this happens in history in the future, they will really have no shame in living, especially
Those scholars were all shouting that if His Majesty the Emperor asked them to go, they would go to the Meridian Gate and kill themselves. I don’t know if what they said was true, but they all said so. If the Emperor didn’t want to
If you lose this minister, you will definitely choose someone else. If the emperor really chooses you, but you don't die, you will be a joke to the entire court in the future. The Southern Empire also has their own bottom line, and Minde still doesn't know it, but
The emperor of the Southern Empire must have understood in his heart that no compensation should be paid for the cession of territory, and there would definitely be some other incidental jumps. At this time, the emperor wanted to strangle the God of Death, and the God of Death was also very long.
There was no time to go to court, and he knew that if he showed up, he would not be able to face the entire Southern Empire.
