Luo Youdu listened to Xue Juzheng's report and saw that Pai Jilang couldn't wait to sign the contract with them. He signed the agreement with them without even negotiating the price in detail. He clapped his legs and said, "How? Let me just say, this Prince Zhenla is a human being."
The middle dragon and phoenix are the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks of my dynasty."
Only then did Xue Juzheng realize that Wolong and Phoenix were the opposite. He said with a bit of regret: "If I had known that Prince Zhenla was so easy to talk to, we could have lowered the price of food."
Luo Youdu said hurriedly: "That's not necessary. When doing business, you can't just consider yourself. It will be better for the future if you let the other party benefit."
Regarding his experience in doing business, Luo Youdu said that he had no rivals in this era.
Squeezing suppliers' profits in the market is not a clever method, but giving a small profit is the long-term profit method.
Napai Yoshiro is a fool who is addicted to pleasure, and all he wants is pleasure.
He likes fine wine, fancy clothes, exquisite porcelain, and all the luxuries from the Central Plains.
If the squeeze is severe, then Paijiro can be obtained through other means.
On the contrary, if you provide the other party with sufficient profits, the other party will find it profitable, cultivate more fields, cultivate more food, and attract people from other handicraft industries to turn to farming.
In this way, the Central Plains will be able to obtain more food, and at the same time, Chenla's handicraft manufacturing industry will decline.
Daily groceries from the Central Plains can also be sold to Chenla, forming a huge industrial chain.
The survival of Zhenla will invisibly be firmly controlled by the Central Plains.
If the king of Chenla had been far-sighted, this approach might not have worked.
For example, Vice King Li Geng of the Champa Kingdom and their king had a certain degree of foresight. They were willing to communicate with the Central Plains and trade with the Central Plains to enhance their national power, but they would not blindly rely on the Central Plains.
Obviously, Napaijiro was not a virtuous and far-sighted crown prince. As for his father, King Chenla, he was also a fool, not necessarily any better than Napaijiro.
Otherwise, Champa would not have been bullied, and history would not have allowed a prince from a vassal state of Srivijaya to usurp the king's position.
Luo Youdu is not familiar with the history of the southeastern countries, but he has a certain impression of Cambodia. One of his clients is a Cambodian businessman. When he was on a business trip to Cambodia, the client specially arranged a three-day tour, including one of the Three God Kings of Cambodia.
The Bayun Temple built by King Suryavarman I in the center of Angkor Thom.
The real rise of the Angkor dynasty in the southeast was during the reign of Suryavarman I, which was in the near future.
With a crown prince and future king like Yoshiro Napa, it is not surprising that someone would usurp the throne.
Luo Youdu thought about this and said: "Xue Qing, please tell me that Pai Jilang is my friend and I cherish my friendship with him."

It is everyone's responsibility to protect each other's sleeping dragons and phoenixes.
If anyone who is not a god or king dares to show up, he will be killed directly.
As the future new king of Zhenla, the Luoyu court only recognized Napai Jilang.
Xue Juzheng bowed to his promise, and then said: "The Champa Kingdom has not made any progress."
Luo Youdu then said: "Champa has his own ideas, so let him go. They won't be able to hold on for long..."
He was not surprised by the resistance of the Champa Kingdom, nor did he care. The Champa Kingdom now had no room for expansion, and the only thing waiting for them was to follow in the footsteps of the Chenla Kingdom.
After all, human nature pursues profit. The Zhenla Kingdom will become richer and richer in the future because of farming. The Champa Kingdom cannot and does not dare to rob it. It can only watch Zhenla live in luxury. The king and deputy king can hold the bottom line, and other nobles face it.
How can they hold on to such huge profits?
Luo Youdu didn’t believe it anyway.
The more leisurely the life of Zhenla was, the more difficult it would be for the king to occupy the city.
Either compromise or let the nobles overthrow him, there is no other way to go.
After all, the countries in the South China Sea could not escape the fate of becoming the granary of Luo Yu court.
After reporting on the affairs of the countries in the South China Sea, Xue Juzheng talked about New Year's etiquette.
"Will Your Majesty still publish word puzzles and make lanterns for the people to guess as you did in previous years?"
Luo Youdu was startled when he heard this, and then reacted: "Yes, I have been busy with the affairs of Yunjiuzhou and the South China Sea countries recently, and I have forgotten the time."
There's only half a month left, and it's the New Year again.
Luo Youdu sighed with emotion, thinking that it had been four years since he ascended the throne without knowing it.
Looking back, in the past four years, he defeated the Northern Han Dynasty, captured Lianglong, pacified the south, and recovered the five Dingnan states. Now even Yunjiuzhou has been attached to the imperial court.
His achievements are not without great merit.
Luo Youdu was not complacent, but thought of Guo Rong, his old boss, and his words: "It will take ten years to open up the world, ten years to feed the people, and ten years to bring peace."
If you think about it carefully, it's not exactly nine or ten years now.
"If it weren't for the foundation you laid, Luo Yu wouldn't be able to reach its peak today... I wouldn't embarrass you, right?"
He recited something in his mind.
Xue Juzheng did not receive a reply. When he saw his lord, his expression was a little nostalgic and complex, he did not speak and waited quietly.
Luo Youdu came back to his senses and said: "Of course it won't change. I live in the palace and rarely have time to enjoy myself with the people. This is a rare opportunity and I don't want to miss it. It's just that the pattern has to be changed. It can't be the same as before."
During the first Shangyuan Festival, Luo Youdu created lantern riddles and celebrated the festival with the people of Bianjing.
He also made lanterns with Fu Qing'er, Zhe Saihua and Zhou Ehuang and prepared some small gifts.
They did not reveal their identities in advance and did not cause panic. The matter slowly spread afterward.
As a result, the next year there were people looking for their lantern riddles. Fortunately, they were prepared and did not cause any trouble.
If this year is the same as before, there will be new problems with storage.
"As for the details, I will think about it carefully and give you an answer later."
Luo Youdu waved his hand and asked Xue Juzheng to go down.
Thinking about these years of conquests, Luo Youdu cheered up and said to himself: "Dou Yi, Han Xizai's advice is right, you should have a good rest."
The next day, morning.
After Luo Youdu accepted the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials, he did not discuss matters as usual. Instead, he glanced at the officials under the temple and said: "After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, rituals collapsed and music collapsed. The land of China was subject to endless wars. The princes separated themselves and foreign barbarians invaded.
, the people are in dire straits. I have inherited the inheritance of Shizong and carried out his will. It lasted four years and finally brought peace to the world. Although there are still Khitans living in the northeast, they are just lingering. For the sake of the people, I will spare them for a while and let the people of the world recuperate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Dou Yi, Han Xizai and others all shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Even among the military officials, some generals responded.
Luo Youdu waved his hand and continued: "The world is settled, and the imperial court will also have a new look. It will be renamed Yongjing to show the world..."
Yong Jing Yong Jing!
Yong was elegant and generous, and Jingping brought order and stability to all directions.
Compared to the radical Chongwu, Luo Youdu preferred the elegant and easy-going Yongjing.
It was just to take care of Wu Chen's emotions, but now it is no longer necessary.
