Mo Jilian and Fang Zheng had a great chat. The two of them talked about everything from astronomy and geography to the national economy and people's livelihood. Fang Zheng was not good at all aspects, but he could still add a few words to any topic, and sometimes he could use modern
Knowledge helped this ancient national preceptor to eliminate illiteracy. Of course, the two were not entirely harmonious, and they still had differences in some places. For example, in terms of geographical knowledge, the national preceptor could not imagine that the world was a round ball and everyone lived in a sphere.
on the ball.
"How is that possible? What should I do if it falls?" The Imperial Master said with disapproval on his face.
Fang Zheng scratched his head, how should he explain gravity to this girl? Newton was hit in the head by an apple?
"Once upon a time, there was a child named Niu. He liked to sit under the apple tree and read books..."
Fang Zheng told this well-known story at home and abroad with great emotion, and then looked at the Imperial Master expectantly: "We live on a ball and don't fall off. This is the reason. Do you understand?"
The Imperial Master spread his hands in confusion: "The child of the Niu family was hit on the head by an apple while sitting under the tree. I can only say that the child was unlucky. What does it have to do with us living on a ball?"
"Then why does the apple have to fall down? Why doesn't it float to the sky? Why doesn't it fall to the side? That is to say, the ball we live in has gravity and can attract anything.
Live..." Fang Zheng adhered to the idea of "never give up, never give up", and he was very good at tempting this stupid student, the national teacher.
The Imperial Master looked at Fang Zheng intently, as if looking at an idiot: "Master Fang, how everything lives is arranged by the true God, just like people walking on the ground, fish swimming in the water, and eagles soaring in the sky.
How can you say this ball attracts anything? There is no such thing."
What a fool! Fang Zheng looked at Mojilian sadly. He really couldn't communicate with these ancient people. They were not on the same level at all.
Knocking on the table impatiently, Fang Zheng became a little angry: "Hey, hey, don't go off topic, we are here to negotiate today, why did it get involved in the ball? It's really weird, we have to establish rules for meetings in the future.
, you are not allowed to say anything that has nothing to do with the topic. - Really, it’s not serious at all..."
Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Mr. Fang, this inconspicuous person, didn't you bring up the topic of the ball yourself?
Mojilian and Datata looked at each other and felt that this Chinese man was really unreasonable, uneducated and incompetent, and he didn't even know how to pretend to understand. At this point, the two hostile Turkic envoys looked at each other for the first time.
A consensus was reached.
As a result, the small talk before the start of the negotiation ended with the unilateral outburst of Mr. Fang, the envoy of the Chinese Dynasty, and broke up unhappy, and everyone started formal negotiations.
After hearing Lu Hongwen's translation, Datata became energetic. He slapped the table with his palm and spoke a few Turkic words loudly. Lu Hongwen translated: "Datata said that they were silently sipping Khan.
The greatest khan on the grassland, we, the Chinese people, should form an alliance with them and drive out the Moji Company."
Mojilian was already furious at the side. Hearing this, he banged the table and started arguing loudly with Datata. The old man looked gentle and elegant, but when the quarrel started, he looked completely different. His hair and beard stood up, and his eyes
His fierce look made people tremble when they saw him.
Fang Zheng secretly laughed in his heart, this is the effect he wants. If you don't argue, where will this young master go to make a fortune?
"Hey, you two distinguished envoys, please stop arguing and just be quiet, okay? When we finish talking, you can go outside and make noise. This is a place of pure meditation in the Zen room. It is not appropriate to add violence." Fang Zheng pretended to be on the side.
Pretend to persuade.
Mo Jianlian and Datata glared at each other fiercely and sat down angrily.
"Both noble envoys, please calm down. Your quarrel is making me very embarrassed." Fang Zheng acted as a peacemaker with a smile, "Who will our Hua Dynasty form an alliance with? This is not something that can be settled in just a few words. What about you?
How about you state the conditions first, and then I will talk about our conditions, seek common ground while reserving differences, and then discuss it slowly?"
Mojilian and Datata both nodded when they heard this.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "That's right, it's good to be harmonious. Imperial Master, you are older than Datta. According to our Chinese tradition of respecting the elderly and the virtuous, you should first tell us your conditions."
Mojilian glanced at Datata and said in a calm tone: "My great Gudulu Khan said that if your country forms an alliance with us, then he can promise not to use any troops against your country within ten years.
I am willing to return some of the women, children and laborers of the Chinese Dynasty who have been robbed from your country over the years... er, invited to the grassland as guests, and are willing to compensate your country for one million taels of silver to compensate for those who have waged war against your country for many years.
loss.".
Fang Zheng blinked: "That's it?"
Moji nodded: "Yes."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, you are too stingy. Your conditions are not called an alliance. They are clearly giving alms to me, the Hua Dynasty. If I form an alliance with Datata and the others, what will you do?
There is no question whether the Khan's position can be preserved. Why do you say that you will not use force against our Hua Dynasty for ten years? Also, the women, children and labor you snatched from our Hua Dynasty were originally ours, but you actually had the nerve to take them.
This is regarded as a condition, and only a "part" of it is returned. Not to mention one million taels of silver. I am ashamed of you. How many gold and silver treasures have you Turks stolen from our Hua Dynasty over the years? Tens of millions of taels.
Always? It would be better for you to pay compensation of one million taels to the national preceptor, the national preceptor, oh! What do you want me to say? If your country can only offer these conditions..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng shook his head with a smile and stopped talking.
Mo Jilian blushed at Fang Zheng's words, coughed twice and said: "Master Fang, this is a negotiation. The conditions need to be negotiated slowly by both parties. Can you tell me your country's conditions..."
Fang Zheng did not answer Mo Jilian's words. He turned his head and looked at Datata with a smile: "Tell me your conditions."
Datata learned through the interpreter that Mo Jilian had suffered a defeat. He was already beaming with joy. When Fang Zheng said that it was his turn to make a condition, he opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Fang Zheng stopped him with a smile: "Let's talk about it first. If your conditions are even the same as those of the Imperial Master, then don't talk about it. It's embarrassing for you to say it, but I'm embarrassed to listen to it."
Seeing Mo Jilian sitting aside with a gloomy expression, Fang Zheng quickly comforted him: "Master, don't be discouraged. You didn't perform very well just now. As for me, I just pretended that I didn't hear it and will give it to you later."
If you have a chance, you can think about it again and think about it before you talk about it. Remember, you can’t play it like that just now.”
After saying that, Fang Zheng patted his shoulder encouragingly: "I like you very much."
When Mo Jilian heard this, he was secretly angry. This smooth-talking and unserious boy actually made fun of me! I don't know who made such an important national matter a trivial matter.
Datata was about to speak, but he hesitated again after hearing Fang Zheng's words. Yes, his conditions were indeed similar to those of the Moji Company. When Fang Zheng blocked him with such words, Datata couldn't help but think about this kid's words.
Having said this, if he didn't step up his efforts, I'm afraid the alliance would be ruined. Thinking of the violent and bloodthirsty temper of the silent Khan on the distant grassland, Datata couldn't help but shudder. If the mission cannot be completed,
, his life is completely over.
Both envoys fell silent. Fang Zheng saw that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and twisted uncomfortably. He felt that at this time, he should find a less serious topic to liven up the atmosphere and rest his brain. Didn't revolutionary mentor Lenin say that?
?"If you don't have rest, you won't have fun."
"Master Imperial Master, is the scenery on the grassland nice?" Fang Zheng started to look for words.
Mojilian nodded dully.
"Then why do we always hear that your herdsmen don't have enough to eat or keep warm?"
Moji rolled his eyes at him: "We herdsmen don't farm, we only raise cattle and sheep. There are too many natural disasters and climates on the grassland. Ice, snow, and strong winds are our natural enemies."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "You are begging for food with a cornucopia. In fact, there are many advantages you can take advantage of. Why do you have to come to our Hua Dynasty to grab things?"
Mo Jilian said in astonishment: "I wonder what Lord Fang means?"
Fang Zheng slapped his thigh and said: "If you don't use force against me, the Hua Dynasty, you can develop the grassland into a tourist area. We can mobilize the wealthy people from the Hua Dynasty to travel to your place, ride horses, play with bonfires, and sleep.
Turkic girls...you will make a lot of money, why bother fighting?"
Ignoring the shocked looks of the two envoys, Fang Zheng continued: "When you earn money, you can use it to exchange for food at the border of China and North Korea. You won't have to worry about starvation during natural disasters. That's great. So, you Turks
It’s just that you are stubborn and always thinking about fighting. In fact, you will get more benefits if you don’t fight..."
Mojilian and Datata looked at each other and reached a consensus again: Is there something wrong with Mr. Fang's mind? How could the Emperor of China send such a person to negotiate with us?
Fang Zheng continued to help them with ideas: "You can also organize many activities to attract customers, such as wrestling competitions and so on. By the way, how do you people on the grassland wrestle? Do you shake your arms?
Shake and dance for a long time?"
Datata heard the interpreter say that wrestling finally got her energy up, and she chirped excitedly when she heard this.
Lu Hongwen said: "He said that the men on the grassland are the bravest and toughest. Wrestling is a common activity for them. Generally, the most powerful warriors from two tribes are selected, and cattle and sheep are used as bets. Everyone gathers together to fight for the victory."
They encouraged them, and the two warriors bent down and put their hands on each other's shoulders, and then they started..."
Fang Zheng was surprised: "Fuck...did it?"
Lu Hongwen nodded: "Yes, let's do it."
Fang Zheng said to Datata with admiration on his face: "You men on the grassland are so talented! You are the pioneers of the mountains! Tell me in detail, how did the two big men do it? So many people were watching.
