But when the eunuchs and the palace maids took the banquet, everyone's faces became solemn.

Negotiations involving major events are absolutely impossible to negotiate in just a few words, nor can they be easily done.

The different interests and starting points of both parties mean that they want to fight for different things, so they naturally have to think about how to convince each other.

"Two gentlemen, I still say the same thing. Thirty ships are too much. Can you lose a little?" The young emperor spoke very politely, without any power.

"I also know that it's a difficult situation for the government, but this is what we promised. No one can stand without trust. We can only come over and think of a solution." Chen Han smiled bitterly, "Or what I mentioned before, the price will rise by 30%. What do you think?"

"No, no." Uncle Zhao saw his nephew, the emperor, he hesitated and simply became a bad guy. "I'll tell you honestly. There are many islands in Japan, and it is very difficult for us to clear it out on weekdays. If these ships are in the hands of pirates, it will definitely be a blow to our caravans in the Song Dynasty. We must consider our people."

"But the Fujiwara family is not pirates." I couldn't help but interrupt, "They are the largest family in Japan and they are also doing business with our Song Dynasty. Isn't the reputation very good?"

"The Fujiwara family has good reputation, but who can guarantee that there are not many pirate groups behind them?" The emperor frowned and said, "Many Japanese famous men have a group of pirates to help themselves fight the enemy, and they also make a fortune by robbing. Once the thirty second-class ships are used in these aspects, they will be able to get a death without a certificate at that time, and it is impossible for us to find out."

"There are nearly 100 large ships of the Fujiwara family. If they really want to rob, there is no need to rely on these thirty ships?" I grabbed a little keenly.

"What you said makes sense, but from another perspective, the Fujiwara family is already so powerful. If they increase their strength again, it may not be a good thing for the caravans of the Song Dynasty and the surrounding small countries." Uncle Zhao continued to make another rebuttal.

Dad Lauren smiled when he heard this, "Brother Zhao, actually this reason is the reason why you really don't want to sell it, right?"

Uncle Zhao and the emperor both smiled and did not deny it.

Dad Lauren pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Japan is very inferior, but he also desires to live in a place as rich as the Song Dynasty. If this continues, if they become prosperous and prosperous, it will definitely be a great harm to the safety of the Central Plains."

"Oh?" the emperor said in surprise and amusing, "Mr. Lauren, aren't you joking? How could a mere Japanese island country cause harm to our land of China?"

"I just said it's possible. And within seven or eight hundred years, they will not have any demonic threats." Dad Lauren was unwilling to talk more and said with a smile: "In fact, the danger of the Song Dynasty is not just about Japan. As long as a country wins weakly, it will be bullied. Only when we become stronger ourselves can we not be afraid of anyone."

The two of them nodded incessantly. Although they felt a little embarrassed that the Song Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by the Liao Kingdom, what Lauren said was the truth, so they naturally had to accept the opinions humbly.

"If the Song Dynasty wants to develop, it should develop shipbuilding technology more, so that merchants can continue to sail into the sea and find new worlds. Only when they have this pioneering and enterprising spirit can a country's business become more and more prosperous. The Song Dynasty can get more benefits from it." Lao Lao continued, "So what the Song Dynasty should think about is to continue to develop itself, rather than hiding technology desperately, thinking that this will allow you to rest assured! If there are not development, there are many smart people in the world, sooner or later people will build a better and larger ship than the Song Dynasty. At that time, it will be the time for the catastrophe to come!"

They have discussed the issue that Dad Lauren said before, but this time it was subdivided into shipbuilding.

The emperor and the Eight Sages thought more carefully. I don’t know how long it took before they looked at each other and nodded slowly.

"You said it well, but the reasons are still not sufficient." Uncle Zhao replied in thought.

I couldn't help it next to me, so I said again, "Uncle Zhao, if you think about it in another direction, it will be easy to figure it out."

"oh?"

"To develop shipbuilding technology, it is definitely inseparable from the efforts of craftsmen. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen, giving money and honor is the best way, right?"

"yes."

"It is easier to give honor. After they retire and return to their hometown, they may be happy enough to give them the identity of a gentry. But the money is different, which requires a lot of long-term investment. In addition to rewards, it also includes the purchase of various materials, etc. This money is a bit difficult for such a wealthy country in the Song Dynasty, right?"

"right."

"So why don't you sell boats to others and use their money to develop? Anyway, it's not the latest and best boats, so the impact is not great, right?" I said happily, "Even afterwards, you can use the money you earn to develop the ship industry. Isn't this a huge reduction in the burden?"

"ah?"

The emperor's eyes lit up, but Uncle Zhao frowned and said, "Isn't this too utilitarian?"

"Hehe, there are so many feelings between countries!" I sneered, "Will the Daliao Kingdom not bully us because we treat it well? We will not accept our tribute?"

The word "tribute" is really hurtful. The young official glared at me without saying it. Uncle Zhao directly gave me a head, "Bastard, don't you give us some face?"

I stuck out my tongue, stood beside me, pretending to be good kid.

Speaking of this, the reason to say has been finished, it depends on their decision.

The emperor looked at us and called Uncle Zhao to the back of the bright yellow cloth curtain together. The two began to discuss.

After a while, the two finally came out from behind.

Uncle Zhao coughed lightly, "Okay, we agree with your request."

"yeah!!"

I screamed with joy.

"Don't be busy and happy first." Uncle Zhao waved his hand and signaled, "In addition to the price rising by 30%, the ship will also be given twice. This year's plan is almost full and it will not be fully delivered next year."

Dad Lauren and his master also discussed a few words and immediately came up with a unified opinion: "Okay, just as Brother Zhao said!"
