Chapter 287 Alliance
"May the Han Empire and the British Empire live in harmony forever!" Bedivere stepped forward and said respectfully. Everyone present thought that this was a good statement.
"Present the letter of alliance!" Liu Ying nodded happily at the generous gift list, but she did not agree directly. After all, such an important matter should be left to professionals.
This thing should have been approved by the emperor, and the Grand Honglu Temple should have prepared a letter of credence and sealed it with the imperial seal before Great Britain could take it back.
However, the embarrassing thing is that the imperial seal is not in the court at the moment, it has been taken away by Guo Hao.
Liu Ying took a look at the letter from Great Britain and was surprised that she didn't recognize it at all.
After taking a glance at "Grant the Government Affairs Office to hold a court meeting", Liu Ying asked someone to pass it to Chen Xi.
Anyway, for this kind of thing, the Government Affairs Office must have had a draft before, so just hand it over to Chen Xi and that's it. Anyway, all government affairs in the court are now decided by Chen Xi.
Under Bedivere's shocked eyes, the people in the Government Affairs Office passed the letter around and then began to discuss it under the repetition of the players in charge of translation.
"As expected of a great man, as expected of an empress!"
At this moment, Bedivere had a high degree of resonance. Although there was no round table, the discussion process was exactly the same as their round table council.
The king is responsible for being the mascot, and then everyone discusses the matter together, and finally the king reads out the decision.
This was something Bedivere had not seen in other countries. The emperor of Rome was a tyrant, the emperor of the Northern Huns was a dictator, and the court of Parthia was even arguing with each other. As for Kushan, he had never been there, but heard that the emperor was also a tyrant.
Only the Han people, where he is now, have the same democracy and the same consensus as them.
The letter from Great Britain did not contain much content, just some classic clauses, such as friendship and alliance. The only one that deserved their attention was trade.
Chen Xi and his friends tried to make the discussion more heated on the surface, while at the same time they directly set up a local area network for voice transmission and started to study how to kill Great Britain.
Chen Xi didn't even have time to get a word in. He didn't even begin to repeat the information sent by Ma Chao, Liu Zhang and the defenders of Chang'an City. Great Britain's underwear was almost stripped off by a group of unscrupulous businessmen.
They kept proposing and then rejecting vicious plans.
Chen Xi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. The economy cannot be developed with a group of people, but when it comes to how to cheat people, his brain works fast.
The classic strategy of "buying deer to control Chu" was constantly improved by these people, and an economic and trade slump based on sericulture was discussed by these people.
"Buying deer to conquer Chu" was Guan Zhong's classic strategy to destroy Chu. The general process was that there were many deer in the wild in Chu, and Qi bought live deer from Chu at a high price, and then spread the news to merchants in Chu, believing that they could make a fortune by selling deer to Qi.
As a result, all men, women, young and old in the Chu State were mobilized and busy catching deer in the wild. Some people even bought deer from other places to impersonate them. The whole country was caught up in a frenzy of commercial wave, and food production was almost abandoned.
Moreover, Qi State even sold grain to Chu State at a loss in order to support Chu State's fanatical actions.
When the time was ripe, Qi found an excuse that the Chu upper echelons had offended them and stopped collecting deer and selling grain. As a result, Chu was severely damaged, and some people even blamed the Chu upper echelons.
In the end, four-tenths of the people in Chu surrendered to Qi. Chu was severely damaged. After struggling for three years, it surrendered to Qi. Qi not only did not lose money, but made a huge profit and also recovered Chu.
When it came into the hands of people like Li Ru and Jia Xu, it became even more excessive.
They planned to teach the people of Great Britain to grow mulberry trees, raise silkworms and reel silk, then buy the reeled silk at a high price, and finally sell it to Great Britain at an extremely high price.
Chen Xi could guess what these people were going to do next. They would vigorously develop the silk industry and wait for Great Britain to fall into their trap. Then they would put the blame on Rome and say that Rome interfered with the transaction between the two parties. They would not be able to continue the transaction and this would definitely force Great Britain and Rome to fight to the death.
However, a friend would rather die than let me die, so Chen Xi can only stand in the position of Guang Zhengwei and condemn these evil-hearted guys.
Chen Xi forcibly stopped these guys' conspiracy. How could such a plan be implemented with the presence of players? Even if it could be implemented, it would not be likely to reach the stage they imagined. It would be better to develop business.
It is much more reliable to make more benefits in a fair and honest way than to do this blindly. There are so many variables at such a long distance.
Everyone shrugged their shoulders. Boss Chen Xi had the final say, and Chen Xi's financial means were indeed stronger than theirs. However, some people looked at each other and did not intend to give up this plan.
Li Ru rolled his eyes. People who didn't know would think Chen Xi was harmless. It was Chen Xi who asked them to kill the noble family. This guy just liked some positive and upright things.
"Your Highness, you can stamp it now!" Chen Xi handed the letter back to Liu Ying.
After they pass, they just go through the process. They also draft a letter of credence and stamp it, and then Bedivere just has to take it back.
The two countries are too far apart, and current means of transportation do not support any large-scale trade between the two sides.
You can't let the internal energy leave the body and just run errands, right?
Speaking of this, Chen Xi is quite interested, but he has not been able to find an experimenter willing to cooperate.
According to their estimates, if a Qi cultivator could fly at full speed using his internal Qi, a round trip from Luoyang to Rome would probably only take a few days.
However, according to the news coming from the worship site, the world is not safe right now. Perhaps only a powerful person at the level of a peerless general can come and go freely?
After all, Zuo Ci has been defeated several times. Zuo Ci's fighting ability is not weak. He is the kind of master who can take Dian Wei's punch, but he can probably only take one punch. He may not be able to take the second punch.
"Your Highness, our King Arthur asked us to come to the Han Dynasty. In addition to establishing friendship forever, he also hopes that the Han Dynasty can provide some military support for our country. In exchange, we can provide the Han Dynasty with all the information about the Northern Huns."
Bedivere said righteously that even if they were too far away and the Han Empire could not raise a large army to support them, it would be fine to support one or two legions or a few strong men.
As for the Northern Huns, who were ripped off by the high prices they paid, they would just sell them off. There was no alliance signed anyway, so they were at most hired mercenaries , so they would just rip them off.
Once the alliance is signed, the empire will still recognize it, but it also has to consider the issue of face. After all, the empire cannot afford to lose face.
But the Northern Huns were different. They had only signed an alliance with one empire in their lifetime, which was the Han Dynasty that put them in hell.
From then on, the Northern Huns refused to sign any alliances. In their opinion, that thing was the root cause of the hatred.
