Chapter 30 The overall situation has been decided!
The fourth negotiation.
"...We basically agree with your country's proposition, and the following three main points can be basically implemented.
First, set Lingzhou as a free trade zone for trading in various countries;
Second, Xia Guo invited the Song Dynasty Xihu City Group to build a West Lake City in Lingzhou, and Xia Guo occupied 49% of the shares;
Third, the State of Xia invited the State of Song Dynasty to contract the construction of the cementation of the Huanling Road. The State of Xia shall bear part of the expenses within the State of Xia, and the State of Song shall bear part of the part within the State of Song itself.
If the State of Song agrees to the above general direction, we can continue to discuss the details in detail."
Liang Yi buried the information in his hand.
Han Jiang looked depressed and said, "It's basically the case. Deputy Envoy Ouyang talks to the Prime Minister about the details. If there is no problem, just like that."
He left without looking back.
Ouyang Bian smiled proudly and noticed Liang Yi was buried in observing him. Ouyang Bian immediately became solemn.
"The Prime Minister, there is no problem with the general direction, so let's talk about the details."
Liang Yi was happy, but he did not realize that the difficult negotiations had just begun.
Ouyang Bian was extremely rigorous in detail and did not allow any ambiguity. All details were implemented in articles, especially urging Xia State to form a Ministry of Commerce to be responsible for this free trade zone, and they had to be middle-aged and senior officials of the court. Ouyang Bian suggested that Liang Yi be buried in the name so that Song State merchants appealed at that time.
Liang Yi originally wanted other people to talk about the details, but Ouyang Bian's thinking was too rigorous. Liang Yi was afraid that others would be fooled by Ouyang Bian, so he could only grit his teeth and talk to Ouyang Bian. It took him three days to discuss the draft.
Han Jiang, Liang Yimang and Ouyang Bian both exchanged signatures on the draft, and then sent them back to China for stamping and recognition.
Liang Yimang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Han Jiang and Ouyang Bian. Now he wanted to vomit when he saw Ouyang Bian.
Han Jiang and Ouyang Bian looked at each other and smiled.
Han Jiang was quite moved and patted the draft: "I don't understand very much..."
Ouyang shouted.
Han Jiang kept silent and packed up his things and returned to Qingzhou.
On the way back, Han Jiang asked this question again.
"Ji Mo, I don't understand very well, why do you obey Liang Yi's intentions and put the Quota in Lingzhou, and set up a free trade zone? Isn't this cheap Xixia?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I am interested in Lingzhou Road. I want to take advantage of Lingzhou Road, a node of the Silk Road. If there is no cooperation between Xixia, the Silk Road will have to be abandoned. Now we will share some of it to Xixia and reopen this road. For our Song Dynasty, we will make a lot of money!"
Han Jiang was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that Xixia will become stronger because of this?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and shook his head: "Xixia will soon become the dumping place of our Qingzhou Industrial Park. They seem to have made money, but various domestic industries will be impacted. In less than half a year, Xixia has other industries except for animal husbandry, medicinal materials, spices and other industries, haha!"
Han Jiang suddenly shivered.
"As for the little money I collected, well, the upper class is rich, but the lower class people... will be poorer! And this consumes the potential of the war in Xixia. When they took the money and wanted to fight with us, they found that there was no way to produce anything in China and could only rely on the money they had to buy... Haha, there is not enough money!"
Ouyang Bian suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Han Jiang stopped asking.
Ouyang Bian's intentions are empty after careful planning and achievement after achieving his goal.
There are many things that Ouyang Bian didn't say.
In order to achieve this goal, his efforts were not less than when he cleared the land.
A long time ago, Ouyang Bian began to plan for the sales of products in Qingzhou Industrial Park.
With the volume of Qingzhou Industrial Park, once the industrial park of this volume is fully activated, the products produced will be massive.
A large number of products will flock to the market, including Yongxingjun Road, Zizhou Road, Chengdu Fu Road, Hedong Road and other close-range roads, and the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms that are so close are not spared.
But, these are not enough!
So Ouyang Bian's eyes crossed the Xixia in front of him and looked even westward.
An ancient and gold-flowing road was dim for a long time.
Xixia cut off this golden channel, but because of Xixia's own deformed economy, the exposure that originally flowed with gold was dim.
If Ouyang Bian wants to make the Qingzhou Industrial Park the most dazzling pearl in the crown of the Song Dynasty industrial king, he must use this road to transport the exquisite products of Qingzhou to the farther West!
Therefore, Ouyang Bian bribed Langwujiu and many tribe leaders, asked them to pass the news to Liang Yimeng, and asked Liang Yimeng to think that the Qingzhou Industrial Park could be used, which led him into the negotiations.
——Langwujiu is not the only one who was bribed, but he just happened to have the chance to get close to him. If there were no Langwujiu, there would be a Langwujiu who would look for an opportunity to get close to Liang Yi and pass the message over.
After plotting against Liang Yi, if the result is closer to the result Ouyang Bian wants, Ouyang Bian has to plot against important officials in the court.
So Ouyang Bian convinced Zhao Xu to cooperate in a play.
Ouyang Bian knows Han Qi very well. They can choose to start a deliberation, but they will not agree to put the deliberation in the Western Xia.
However, if Zhao Xu wanted to fight a battle that would stun the country, they would agree to open the market in Xixia because they wanted to stop Zhao Xu.
Therefore, Ouyang Bian used Liang Yi to propose this condition, and used Zhao Xu to ask Han Qi and others to agree to place the court in the territory of Xixia.
However, there are many factors to consider.
For example, how to get Liang Yimeng to agree to place the location in Lingzhou.
The reason why we should place our location in Lingzhou is naturally because Lingzhou Road is an important node of the Silk Road. Without this node, the Silk Road will be blocked.
So during the negotiations, Ouyang Bian and Han Jiang acted, reminding Liang Yi-bing that Xixia could use the silk method to make a lot of money!
Liang Yi could understand it after a little while, and immediately took the initiative to focus the negotiations on this.
But Ouyang Bian was not satisfied. What he wanted was not a trade zone completely controlled by Xixia, so he turned the tent into a free trade zone on the excuse that they were unwilling to bear the excuse of losing power and humiliating the country.
With this change, all Western countries were brought in, and the Song Dynasty and Western Xia became one of them, and even the Liao Kingdom could join.
As for why we set up a West Lake City, of course, it is to gain a certain voice. As long as the war does not break out, Xixia will have to negotiate with Xihu City in Xihu City.
As for the construction of Huanling Road, it was prepared to cope with the huge transportation volume. Liang Yi was also aware of this, so he calmly borne the construction costs in Xixia.
As for whether the Song Dynasty would use this road to become a food road... Haha, it was not that Liang Yi was looking down on the Song Dynasty. After going deep into the Song Dynasty, he no longer looked down on the Song Dynasty.
Ouyang Bian took every step of the battle, buried Liang Yi, Zhao Xu, Han Qi and other people as flags, and realized his own ideas step by step.
Everyone involved in this plan belongs to different camps, but they are like obedient puppets, following the path set by Ouyang Bian for them, but they don’t know what the original appearance is.
And everyone feels that they have achieved their goals.
Liang Yimian believed that he had won an opportunity for Xixia to become an economic power;
Han Qi and others believed that they had stopped a war that caused the domestic creatures to suffer;
Han Jiang believed that he had completed the peace talks perfectly and achieved considerable political achievements;
Su Zhe and Zhang Dun felt that their work had allowed Qingzhou Industrial Park to overcome a fatal difficulty;
Needless to say, Langwujiu and others, what else do you want to do after getting so much money?
As for Zhao Xu, he cheered for his superb acting skills!
OK, great!
The draft of the negotiation was sent back to the court and passed it shortly after. For the important officials of the Song Dynasty, the many details in it were not important, and it was not important to open the debate. What was important was that it did not damage the reputation of the court.
The play played by Zhao Xu made the ministers quite satisfied with the current result. They really didn't want to fight.
Liang Yi buried in the Xixia region represents Empress Dowager Liang, so it was undoubtedly passed.
After the two sides exchanged letters of the country, Xixia couldn't wait to let Ouyang Bian organize products to go to Lingzhou.
Naturally, the cement road cannot be repaired so quickly, and the construction of West Lake City is not so fast, but this does not affect trade.
So, with Ouyang Bian's big hand, the manufacturers, who had been hungry and thirsty, packed a large number of products overnight and followed the brigade to Lingzhou on the third day.
"Sir, this batch of goods is as many as one million. I'm afraid even the maritime merchants can't match it!"
Lu Bing looked at the goods that looked like a mountain and said proudly.
Lu Bing was naturally happy. The value of goods sold in the industrial park was related to his performance.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It was because Xixia had not been able to import products from the Song Dynasty for nearly two years. So it was so hungry. After a few batches of products, their market would be saturated and there would be no such large amount in the future."
Lu Bing smiled and said, "Sir, don't fool me. You will discuss the situation. Oh no, the free trade zone is located in Lingzhou, not the one that is staring at Xixia. What you are interested in is the countries in the west, right?"
Ouyang Bian laughed loudly, laughing happily.
None of the people who followed him were fools, and he wouldn't want them if they were really fools.
After all, they were following Ouyang Bian. Although Ouyang Bian did not tell the whole story, they could know some of Ouyang Bian's things. When they reviewed the results and the process, they would naturally see Ouyang Bian's plan.
Ouyang Bian pointed to the Qingzhou Industrial Park, which is still under construction: "So, build all the industrial parks for me as soon as possible. Look, those workers are not producing any products, but minting coins!"
Chapter completed!
