Although the negotiation with Rosanna failed, it did not mean that Puhui Company did not make money. In the end, Ye An still won the cotton at a price that exceeded his previous expectations.
He just makes less money, but for Rosanna, it can keep the party members stable for a while. At least Gaochang City can be saved this winter.
Every winter before winter comes, the party members will attack the countries in the Western Regions under various names. Unless they donate enough wealth, the clarion call of war will sound in the lands of the Western Regions.
Rosanna heaved a sigh of relief and sat opposite Ye An. The seductive aura in her eyes disappeared, replaced by dignity and nobility that Ye An had never seen in him.
After all, she is the princess of Gaochang, and the temperament she has cultivated in that atmosphere since she was a child is still there. The reason why she behaves like that in front of Ye An is that she is really helpless.
When a woman fails to achieve her goal after exhausting all means, she can only use the most unworthy means. Some people can give up everything in the face of poverty. In the face of the survival of the country, Rosanna will naturally give up her nobility.
"Gaochang has survived this winter, but I don't know what will happen next year. Yehou is extremely talented and has courage that is invincible. I wonder if you can help me, Gaochang, solve my difficulties?"
Ye An shook his head without thinking, "No, don't look at me like that, and don't think I'm ruthless. The Song Dynasty is not my decision. The only one who can help Gaochang is the Song Dynasty, but you have also seen that the Song Dynasty is now
I just want peace and prosperity, and for this I would rather give up the Northern Expedition and let the party expand."
"You mean the Song Tianjia has a narrow-minded vision?"
Ye An almost spat out the oil tea after taking a sip of it, but even though he tried his best to endure it, some cake crumbs still spewed out from his lips and hung on Roxana's silk fabric, wetting her front...
The originally gentle Bayi instantly turned into a brave warrior. He swung his fist suddenly and hit Ye An as Roxana screamed. Fortunately, he was flexible and subconsciously jumped his legs to avoid the blow. He was a donkey.
Wulu took out the dagger from his boots and stared at the fat man in front of him.
And the little book that was originally placed in front of Ye An and Roxana had already been shattered with a heart-wrenching clicking sound, as if it had been bombarded by a giant hammer.
Sure enough, the generals in this era were all fat! They were said to be strong men, but looking at the fat on Bai Yi's body, Ye An felt that it had nothing to do with being strong.
"Bayi, don't be rude!" Roxana was shocked when she saw Ye An squatting on the ground and looking at her with vigilance like a cheetah.
Bayi stared at Ye An unwillingly and said: "Princess, this scumbag is obviously frivolous with you!"
"Am I being frivolous towards her? I'm obviously scared by her! I dare to say anything. This is the Tokyo city of the Song Dynasty, and you just slandered the Tian family in front of me, the Lord of Yunzhong. You can't seek death."
Pull me!"
Ye An was very angry. When had he been scornful of Rosanna? It was just that he couldn't hold it back for a moment. Who would have thought that this girl would dare to say such treasonous words in front of him!
"Isn't that what Ye Hou means?"
"Go away, don't try to set a trap for me!" Ye An scolded dissatisfied, then looked at Roxana with a smile and said: "You don't have to provoke the general, our Song Dynasty is not always like this, and besides, no matter you Gao Chang or my Song Dynasty
, all have a common enemy.”
After listening to Ye An's words, Rosanna's eyes narrowed, and she bitterly squeezed out one word from her teeth: "Dang Xiang!!"
Ye An glanced at the big bear-like Bayi with dissatisfaction, and then said: "Don't stand here anymore, it's okay, I'm not interested in your princess."
"That's right! The Lord of Yangcheng County is the most powerful person in the country. How can Ye Housheng be able to see me in the slave's house? You don't have to be too nervous, Bayi. I'm so handsome that I can't stand anyone's eyes!"
After saying that, he straightened up his posture proudly. Ye Anhao, who was opposite him, got angry...
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Ye An shook his head and said: "You don't need to be like this. Miss Luo's beauty is still quite outstanding, but she is a little inferior to my wife. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, hehe..."
Roxana snorted and stopped talking. In her opinion, Ye An was obviously perfunctory with her. She had been quite confident in her appearance since she was a child, and she was also confident in her intelligence.
But in Ye An's eyes, he was not as good as his wife. He was used to seeing men's passion, and this was the first time he saw a man who would not be tempted by his temptation.
At this time, Ye An regained his composure, looked at Roxana and said: "You need the wealth of the Song Dynasty to put out the fire. Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Rosanna didn't know why.
"It means that once you, Gaochang, don't get wealth from me, the Song Dynasty, you will be in danger of destroying your country, doesn't it?"
Ye An's words made Rosanna's face gradually look ugly, but he did not shut up. Instead, he said while sipping tea: "The fate of Gaochang seems to be in the hands of the party members, but in fact it is still in the hands of me, the Song Dynasty. Once the fate of Gaochang is broken,
Destroying the wealth of your Western Region countries is equivalent to destroying you. The party members will not care where your money is earned from. They only need money. Only with money can they benefit from our business in the Song Dynasty.
Purchase necessities for daily life, such as iron pots, kitchen knives, cloth, patent medicines, and even necessary tea leaves."
"So what? Don't the people of the Song Dynasty need the spices from the Western Regions? There are also our grape wines and leather and woolen materials! By the way, there is also cotton now!"
Bayi was shouting in dissatisfaction, but Ye An looked at Rosanna coldly. At this time, her face was pale and bloodless, and finally said slowly: "The party members just find it troublesome. If one day their patience
If they are exhausted, they will do the business themselves, and what awaits us will be the ruin of our country and our family!"
Ye An nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, your value lies in paving trade routes for the Dangxiang people now. Once a routine is formed, the Song Dynasty's demand for goods from the Western Regions will be stabilized. By then, whether it is the Dangxiang people or the Western Regions people,
It doesn’t matter, because all the Song Dynasty needs are goods from the Western Regions. Why do you think the Party members became honest after the Song Dynasty opened a sales market in Huanzhou?"
Even Bayi understands what Ye An is talking about, because the things that the Dangxiang people originally needed to obtain by robbing can now be bought with money. Once the forex trade allows the Dangxiang people to taste the sweetness, all the countries in the Western Regions can do
Buying and selling, party members can also do it!
What value will the countries in the Western Regions have at that time? Why do the party members still want them to help them make money? Naturally, the profits they get from selling goods will be more than the tribute paid by others.
"What does Ye Hou mean by saying this to the Nu family?!"
Ye An smiled and said: "It will be good for you to join the Song Dynasty. The Xiqiang people are the best example. As long as there is still lingering in the heart, they will be used by the party members. I just gave you the best
Appropriate advice, of course, does not require you to give an answer now. It may take a long time before the suggestion is valuable."
This sounds very confusing. After all, it would be meaningless for the countries in the Western Regions to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Rosanna knew that the Song people would not send troops to help them.
But Ye An's words were about future plans, not current plans. Roxana is a smart person, and she can hear the hidden meaning from Ye An's words.
Maybe one day the Song Dynasty will take action against Dangxiang, and at that time, it will be time for the countries in the Western Regions to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
