Although I was a little embarrassed, the secret meeting was held again in a very short time, and five people were still involved: the official family, Uncle Zhao, Dad Lauren, Master and me.

When I heard my rental request for "Ten Super Warships, One Hundred First-Class Warships, One Hundred Second-Class Warships, Five Hundred Medium Warships", even the Emperor and Uncle Zhao were the rulers of the richest country in the world, I couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't react for a moment.

Although the Song Dynasty had numerous ships and strong military power, it could not resist such trouble!

"Xiaobao... your writing is too big, right?"

The emperor swallowed and said to me hesitantly.

The Song Dynasty had three naval fleets, with an extremely large number, but the most elite was the Jiangnan Navy. The request for ship rental was exactly the full strength of the Jiangnan Navy, which was to occupy half of the strength of the Song Dynasty Navy. It would definitely be a crushing effect whenever I drove to any place.

No matter where I am, I am only half of my strength, and I am already in the sea. Now I have so much request, and they cannot help but imagine whether I want to save people, or whom I want to attack.

They even wondered whether Xiaobao was going to conquer a country and become the emperor?

Although the two of them were willing to help me, they were proud of war tools, and they were all used to bully a small foreign country. It was really unsatisfactory.

I explained, "We are not going to fight, we just go to scare them. When Japan sees the super warships of the Song Dynasty, it is so scared that it is wet with pants. Do you still dare to resist?"

The Eight Wise King frowned and said, "What if they were going to resist?"

"Then, what do you do to attack the Navy of the Song Dynasty on weekdays?" I spread my hands and said.

"You are a sloppy person, this is obviously a use of us!" The young emperor shook his head and said, "But I said Xiaobao, you are really a big deal. For a woman, you are willing to give you five million taels of gold!"

Five million taels of gold, which is just the net income of two "Mengqiulou" in three months. It is precisely because the income is too good that I can bear it.

Some things, some people, are not measured by money.

Money is always external things. Not to mention that I can bear it or cannot bear it, I have to grit my teeth and work hard to save Sister Xue.

But I couldn't say this to the official family. I sighed with a frown and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that it's the same thing that I like Yuwu Xue Ji, but the biggest reason is that she has helped us. Isn't our Song Dynasty just to repay kindness? Isn't I back down just because the evil enemy is too powerful. Is this still a dignified man?"

"You are so reasonable to be fickle!" Uncle Zhao reached out and hit me. As my father-in-law, he naturally treats me as his son now. It is normal to teach me a lesson when he is angry.

After a pause, the Eight Virtues coughed lightly, "But the emperor, I think Xiaobao's proposal is good... A little barbarian like Fujiwara, Laitong, dare not go against us. It happened that the acting was not done this year, and Xiaobao spent money. Why not take this opportunity to send the Jiangnan Navy to Japan to go there to promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty, and let these little names know that those increasingly rampant pirate tactics are absolutely not feasible under our strength!"

"The emperor said this, but it's not unreasonable. But what will others think of us? It's not very honorable to bully a small country?" The young emperor was worried about this.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to say something." Dad Lauren said in a harmonious voice beside him.

"Oh, Mr. Lauren, please say." The emperor also respects this foreigner who is knowledgeable and knows how to grasp the most core issues.

"I know that during the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, the Khitans were just a very small ethnic group, roughly the same as the current Japanese, right?"

"Yes."

"It is precisely because the rulers in the Central Plains who think they are weak and have good intentions, so they ignore them and let them develop, which leads to the result of their growth and fighting against the Song Dynasty today, right?"

“Uh…yes.”

"Anotherwise, nomadic peoples are very close to the Central Plains. Although they are very wild at the beginning, they are usually gradually assimilated by the cultural customs of the Central Plains over time. This can also be verified from the Liao Kingdom, right?"

"right!"

"The current Japanese are the Khitan tribes in the past, but what they are different from the Khitan tribes is that they are lonely overseas, and their culture and customs are different from the Central Plains. Once they grow and grow and invade land, I am sure the harm they bring is absolutely brutal and devastating. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a destruction of the country and the extermination... Under such a future expectation, Your Majesty, are you willing to let it go, or do you hit them every once in a while and weaken their power?"

"hiss……"

The emperor and the Eight Sage Kings glanced at each other and took a breath, "Mr. Lauren, are you talking too seriously? This small country in Japan cannot even build a ship well. It is also a vassal state of our Central Plains for all dynasties. How could it be that there are such toxic thoughts and means?"

"People will change. When the Tang Dynasty was strong in the past, didn't it just beat the Khitans to make them urinate? Now the Song Dynasty is weaker than the Tang Dynasty. Didn't the Khitans ride on the Song Dynasty's neck again?" Lao Lao said seriously, "I can't say too much about the specifics, but once the Song Dynasty is ten times weaker than the current Win, and Japan is ten times stronger than the current, then such danger is still worth your consideration."

"Besides, didn't the emperor say that the pirates in Japan are too rampant. The navy went out to suppress them and shock them, which was also a blessing for the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty." The master added beside him.

The emperor and the Eight Sages nodded slightly. Although they still disagree with each other, they also felt that it was necessary to hit this small country that was gradually developing towards pirates.

It is not a big deal to teach Japan a lesson. Japan is like a slave of the Song Dynasty. Does the master need too many reasons to educate the slave?

The most important thing is that during this period, Master and Dad Lauren's brainwashing process have made them a great success, which made the young emperor and the pragmatic Eight Wise Kings realize that at the level of a country, benevolence, righteousness and morality are of little use, and they still have to rely on benefits and abilities to gain a foothold.

Although this idea has not taken root in their minds, the seeds have been planted, and there will always be a day when they are born and bear fruit in a subtle way.

After nodding, Uncle Zhao began to talk about another question, "However, five million taels of gold is too little. We will send the Jiangnan Navy to travel back and forth in a month, at least two million taels of gold. The repair and maintenance of the remaining ships also cost too much money."

I was so scared to death, "Father-in-law, you are not as cruel as you. It turns out that Xiao Xingyue is not your daughter. Do you want her to owe money with me and you will go bankrupt?"

They have heard a lot of the word "bankruptcy" recently and naturally understand the meaning.

"Come on!" The Eight Wise King Yi said righteously, "This country belongs to our Zhao family. How could I abandon my public because of my personal gain? Now you have something to ask me, so we should offer it."

His request was not satisfied. I said sadly: "Father-in-law, our Three Kingdoms Island is not rich. I just fought two battles, and we were going to bankrupt if we were not supported by the "Mengqiu Tower", I should have put a bowl at your door to beg!"

The young emperor was funny, but he also listened to our negotiations seriously and did not interrupt.

"'Mengqiulou' is a hen that can lay golden eggs. You can earn two or three million gold in a month, which is even better than our hard work in business." Uncle Zhao talked, "Will that be it, I won't ask you for more. This year, you will give us another five million taels next year, and this business will be negotiated!"

"Tsk tsk, I don't know, I think you are from the money you put in. Oh, what are you doing? A gentleman doesn't speak!"

I was so complaining that I didn't give in. "Then, let's just do it. We will give you five million taels of gold next year. You can customize fifty second-class warships for us, with a full set of weapons and equipment."

"You think it's so beautiful. The cost of fifty ships is about 2 million. You can save 20% in one breath. It's really OK."

"But father-in-law, I can't compare to you no matter how much. I doubled the price in one go."

“…”

Uncle Zhao was speechless and glared at me fiercely, meaning that you, kid, are so unpretentious, want to marry my daughter?

I was not outdone, and looked back with my eyes: Boss, I live a good life, that is, your daughter lives a good life, why are you going against me like that?

Seeing us fighting there, the young emperor felt very bored. After looking at his two gentlemen, he raised his hand, "Okay, uncle, Xiaobao's proposal is actually good. I don't need to give him the thirty second-class warships of Fujiwara Raitong. I will give him fifteen this year and the remaining thirty-five next year. I am also worried about the safety of Sister Xingyue outside."

They all knew what it meant to ask for fifty second-class ships. Fujiwara Laitong and I were destined to have a stumble, while Sankoku Island and Japan were far away from the mainland. If we had no ability to protect ourselves, we would probably be destroyed by Fujiwara Laitong before the Song Dynasty came to rescue us.
