In the general's mansion, everyone, including the chief general Su Dingfang, stared at Du He and waited to see him offer a price.

Du He laughed and said, "This fishing skill is extremely efficient. If you use it well, it can solve the food problems of many of you people. The value is incalculable.

There was a beautiful story about the King of Qin who exchanged fifteen cities for Heshi Bi. This fishing method may not be as valuable as the Heshi Bi, but three or five cities are not bad."

What???

Everyone in the audience opened their mouths wide. You heard that right, let’s change the city? Is it the Tang Dynasty lion who spoke up, or is this general crazy?

Su Lie and Fang Yiai gave Du He a thumbs up in their hearts, "Awesome! You're cruel enough, you want a city from them? Who did you learn this trick?

"What? No? Or do you think it's not worth it? That's all, it's just a deal. If you can't agree, give up. Please go back."

After all, he was a shopkeeper for a while. If Du He had not been wearing general's clothes, anyone would have thought that this was a businessman.

"No, no, wait a moment, General Du, isn't it a bit... a bit..." The envoy of Goguryeo hesitated.

"After all, isn't this still expensive? It doesn't matter. Fair transactions are all based on voluntary action. If we think they are expensive, we won't force them to sell them to you. Don't be afraid." Du He said with a smile.

It's over... The tribes next to me who wanted to get a share of the pie were completely disheartened. How many cities are there? Don't look at them, we can't afford them. We are all grazing tribes, so how can we get any cities?

The envoy of Goguryeo was almost crying, "That's not the case. It's really a matter of the city. I have no right to make the decision. Can I change it?"

Du He frowned and thought, "Change another one? What can attract the Tang Dynasty to its attention is just cities, land, and population. You can choose it yourself. If you choose it, you can negotiate the price."

Puff... Goguryeo envoy vomited blood, population, land and cities? Are these three things the same? I have no right to make decisions.

"Forget it, I can't make the decision on this matter. It's better not to talk about it. I'll say goodbye. I will go back and report to my king truthfully."

The man became so happy this time, he turned around and left. Du He shouted to his back: "Hey, it doesn't matter if you can't make the decision. Go back and ask who can make the decision. Give you a month. If you want it, you can send someone to contact him. It won't be overdue."

Then Su Lie arranged for people to send the leaders of several other tribes away, and each gave them some uncounted small fish as gifts. A group of people left happily and claimed that they would often come to Fuyu City to eat fish in the future.

After the guests left, Su Lie summoned Du He and others to summarize the results of the battle. The most important thing is to ask clearly whether it is a run for Goguryeo or serious?

Du He took out the entire map of the Northeast to Su Lie, "Senior Brother Su, you have a clear vision, please help me see which city in Goguryeo is the most beneficial to us?"

Su Lie was stunned, "What a joke? Junior Brother Du, do you really want to ask them for a city? Not to mention the quality of your plan, although Goguryeo is a little shameless, he is not a fool. How could he be so stupid that he exchanged a city for an optional fishing method?"

This may not necessarily be...

Du He walks leisurely and leisurely.

The other people were curious, could you have a secret trick?

Du He stopped keeping it and took out a data and said: "According to our team's investigation of Goguryeo for more than a year, we found that they were really poor. They were icy and snowy here, they had difficulty farming, and the people had a hard time survival.

Fish, shrimp and other aquatic products in the sea account for almost 60% of their food. The inland people spend all day long with coarse grains, wild vegetables, moldy dried fish, etc. If they had not been able to plunder some resources from several other tribes, Goguryeo would not have had the opportunity to grow."

"It's right that they are poor, but they can still survive and develop, and they have been confronting our Central Plains for so many years.

Even if there is no way to fish in winter, their people will not starve to death, so they will not discard the city for something that is dispensable. There are also capable people in Goguryeo, knowing that the people's hearts cannot be lost." Su Lie analyzed.

Du He laughed, "Yes, it's because they have capable people that I guess this person will not be willing to fall behind and will be moved by our fishing methods.

Because if you want to be stronger, the people must be full. If the people can be full in winter for the New Year, Goguryeo can free up a lot of benefits to raise soldiers and strengthen national strength, and will become stronger faster.

The temptation of more than 100,000 pounds in one net is to beat their fleet to go out to sea for fishing, and some of them will definitely be moved."

this……

After pondering for a while, Su Lie nodded and said, "I hope you are right. There are probably a lot of three or five cities. How big is their territory? You can't take it out."

Fang Yiai said: "How could it be? Master taught that Goguryeo has a population of millions at least. If there are too many cities of all sizes, it is not a problem to set aside a few small towns.

That's how they use inferior products as good products, and we seem to suffer a loss."

"Yes, you, you guy, have also gotten up." Du He patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and praised, "So, I didn't plan to ask for so many at the beginning. I just want them a city.

But negotiation is about buying and selling. If the yelling price is not high, how can there be room for the other party to bargain?

In the end, if they compromised with a city, I think we would not recognize it at this time."

"Hey, good boy, I can't tell. You have the mind of a profiteer." Su Lie praised.

"That's right, Qinglian's profiteer's face is exactly the same as that of Chang'an Du Shaoqing, and she is worthy of being a brother." Fang Yiai agreed.

Du He begged and said, "Do you guys praise me or hurt me if you are not careful in making friends?

Let’s study it quickly, which city we want from the other party is suitable.”

In the Goguryeo royal city, Yoon Gaisuwen listened to the envoy's detailed report, fishing under the ice in winter? More than 100,000 kilograms of a net? Who should I miss it?

He kicked his subordinates to the ground with one kick, and Yuan Gai Suwen cursed: "Baoshi, you must have suffered someone's losses in Fuyu City. You dare not to secretly prosecute me. You came up with such a guise and dragged me out and beat me!"

"Da yes, I give my subordinates a hundred courages and dare not deceive them. These are all seen with my own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can ask all the people who are traveling with you. The fish of more than 100,000 kilograms are piled up in mountains. They really caught them in one day." The man hugged Yuan Gaisuwen's leg and cried.

The servants soon found out that every sentence is true!

At this time, the storm of storms appeared in Yuan Gai Suwen's heart. How could this be possible? Could it be that God blesses the Tang Dynasty? God blesses God? But they are not short of food and drink. Why doesn't God bless us as poor and weak country as Goguryeo?

"If I, Goguryeo, could have such a fishing method of 100,000 kilograms per net, why worry about the national strength not rising?" Yuan Gaisuwen murmured to himself.

The envoy kneeling on the ground shouted after hearing this: "Subordinate, I know how they fish."

"What? Take it seriously? If you can really catch 100,000 kilograms of fish in one net, no, even if it is only 10,000 kilograms, you will be given a third level." Yuan Gaisuwen excitedly grabbed the other party's collar and said.

The man's face froze, then shook his head guiltily and said, "They said it was a secret method passed down by gods and people, and they refused to spread it outside."

With a bang, the man was kicked out again.

"Waste! What's the point of using you?"

"But they proposed that they could exchange it. The subordinates wanted to buy it for money, but who knew later..."

Hum? Why didn’t you say it earlier? My mother-in-law, can’t you finish it in one breath? Yuan Gaisuwen suppressed his anger and scolded him.

The man was almost cried, and he thought to himself that you didn't give him a chance, and if you say something wrong, you will beat him, and if you kick him twice, you will probably lose your life.

He deliberately knelt backwards, and the person plucked up the courage to tell the conditions for the other party to ask for the city.

However, the scene of Da Da being furious at Lu did not happen, but instead fell into deep thought and paced back and forth.

Yuan Gai Su Wenxin said, the Tang Dynasty was really smart, I probably knew this method I needed for Goguryeo. Humph, what is the winter catcher? Now it seems that it is clear that he is planning to Goguryeo and coming for me.

But so what if I figured it out? Du Shaoqing is an open conspiracy. No matter what conspiracy is, just talking about the fishing technology is definitely a temptation that Goguryeo cannot refuse.

Although winter fishing seems to be laborious, it is still much more convenient than going to sea to fish. After all, not everyone has the ability to go to sea to fish, and going to sea requires shipbuilding and other conditions. Fishing on the sea is too difficult and it may not necessarily guarantee a harvest.

But the lake surface on the land is different. It can be said that fish can be caught as long as there is water. After all, no matter how large the lake surface is, it still has a limit, not as boundless as the sea.

"Come, come and take the entire map of your country."

What???

The envoy below was stunned, "Da yes, you, don't you really want to exchange the city for an optional fishing method, right? Da yes, Lu Sansi!"

"It's optional? You don't understand. The Tang Dynasty's method was just icing on the cake, but if it was in my hands, Goguryeo, it would be like a tiger. With this method, our people will have another source of survival. In the long run, national strength will accumulate and sooner or later can catch up with the Tang Dynasty.

So it's worth a mere city." Yuan Gassuwen looked confident.

"But they want more than one, they want three or five. We are already in a place with few people, so it is not good for the country to divide so much land."

Hearing his subordinates' loyal advice, Yuan Gaisuwen nodded with satisfaction and personally stepped forward to help him up and gave him a seat.

"You said it right, so I didn't plan to give them so many, at most one."

"Will they agree? The people in Fuyu City seem to be hard to talk to."

Yuan Gai Suwen smiled, "Both countries negotiate, just like doing business, there must be a bargaining. This was learned from the Tang Dynasty and the Prince Du of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is just used by them."

Then Yeon Gassuwen summoned his important officials and began to discuss the matter of changing cities and going on missions. At first, most of them opposed it, but later they were all convinced by Yeon Gassuwen, and soon finalized everything and sent someone to go on missions.

In Fuyu City, no one expected that the other party would come back so quickly, as if he was very anxious to get some treasure. When he heard that he was here to negotiate, Su Dingfang and others looked at Du He with admiration. This kid grew up fast enough and the predictions were really accurate.

During negotiations between the two countries, the other party has a good official position, but the Tang Dynasty is a small city-guarding general. Su Lie expressed great pressure.

It’s not that I’m afraid of anything, but the key is that I don’t have a letter of state or something, nor do I ask the emperor for advice, and I’m not qualified to negotiate with Goguryeo on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. If I promise something privately, the emperor will pursue it in the future. At the least, it will be dismissed from office or the worst.

According to the rules of the court, officials from the border and prime ministers in the court are qualified to represent the country on an occasion to negotiate without the authorization of the emperor. This is not possible. This is why the three Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo before that year.

It was because the front line was fighting fiercely that the enemy announced the controversy and surrendered. At this time, the emperor was in the rear, and the general on the front line was not qualified to negotiate with the other party, so he could only suspend reporting. In this way, the fighter's opportunity was fleeting, so he dragged it again and again, and the enemy dragged it out of the three battles.

However, the situation in Fuyu City is special now. Firstly, the things that were traded this time were inventions by the Du family, and there is room for maneuver when reporting to the court in the future. Secondly, there is a princess with a noble status in the city. The princess represents the royal family and can also be held responsible as a prince who bears the emperor's order at critical moments. Therefore, a group of people in Fuyu City discussed and plucked up their courage to do it.

The careless Gao Yang even had to go to negotiate in person, threatening to take responsibility for everything himself. I believe no one in the court would be so bored that he participated in a woman.

In the end, Su Lie went because he let a woman show up in public, afraid that people would laugh at the Tang Dynasty for no one. After all, in this era, women did not enter the court to become officials.

When he saw the conditions for the letter of national letter handed over by Goguryeo, Su Dingfang cursed inwardly, saying that he was extremely shameless. As expected, his brothers had predicted that Goguryeo really took out five small ant-like cities to exchange? Where is the city? It's simply a town, no, it's a market, not much bigger than the villages around Chang'an.

After throwing the other party’s letter to the ground, Su Lie said angrily: “Since you have no sincerity, why bother with this? Use these five small villages to fool our Tang Dynasty? Are you stupid? Or am I stupid?"

"Why did the general say this? Although the place is small, it is my precious territory of Goguryeo, close to the north of Liaodong City. This place is extremely beneficial to military affairs, which shows our sincerity.

General, think about it, if you are talking about five cities the same size as my Liaodong City, it would be difficult for us. There are only ten big cities in Goguryeo, and it is impossible to lose half of the country for fishing."

The other party was obviously a verbal debater. He did not miss the timidity in front of Su Lie. It was reasonable and evidence-based, and it was impossible to refute it. He quickly took the initiative.
