Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Master Wang is joking! Ten thousand taels of silver, how is this possible?" After a long while, An Pu Lin chuckled.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, is it a lot? The territory of Liaodong is vast, there are countless products and populations. I don't know how much wealth will be generated in the future. Isn't it worth ten thousand taels of silver? If we use ten thousand taels of silver in the Song Dynasty Come to buy Korea, do you want to?" Wang Shu said.

"This..." An Pulin couldn't help but shook his head.

"So, ten thousand taels of silver is not much." Wang Shu said lightly.

"Master Wang, can we discuss it again? We in Korea simply can't come up with ten thousand taels of silver." An Pulin said.

"It's okay to negotiate! But we can't cut the price too much." Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu, An Pulin, and Li Rui kept discussing and negotiating in the room. Two hours have passed. They still haven't reached a consensus. It's dark now.

"Give us as much silver as you have! Let's clarify the price of each city first. We will give you as many cities as you give us." Wang Shu said.

"This...it's okay," An Pulin said.

"If we want Liaoyang City, how much silver do we need?" Li Rui said.

"Liaoyang City is not trivial, but it was the location of the Liao people's Tokyo. It is worth more than all the other Liaodong cities and needs 20 million taels of silver." Wang Shu said.

"No, it's too high. I think it's only worth five million taels of silver." Li Rui said.

"It probably cost millions of taels of silver just to build the Liao State Palace in Liaoyang City back then!" Wang Shu sneered.

"We can give ten million taels of silver, you first let out Liaoyang City." Li Rui said.

"It's still too little!" Wang Shu shook his head.

"Thirteen million two?" Li Rui said.

"It's getting dark, and both of them are distinguished guests of my Dasong Dynasty. They must have been very tired all the way to this point. It's better to go to rest first! It's a long time, we can continue to discuss tomorrow!" Wang Shu said.

"Master Wang, we are not tired..." Li Rui said.

"Come, see off!" Wang Shu had already got up and said.

When someone sent An Pulin and Li Rui out of the military plane, Wang Shu's face showed a disdainful sneer. He didn't expect that the Koreans were really so naive, and they actually bargained with him here.

"My Dasong Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters are already discussing the attack on Goryeo, and you still imagine that you will buy the entire Liaodong from our hands! It's ridiculous." Wang Shu secretly said.

He got up and headed towards the Imperial Study Room, preparing to report related matters to Zhao Chen, not to mention it.

An Pulin and Li Rui were sent to the Lifan Academy, where they were treated well, and all kinds of delicacies were delivered to their rooms.

After eating and drinking, the two sat together to continue discussing the signing of the contract.

"Song people are really greedy! A mere Liaodong, they actually want ten thousand taels of silver!" An Pu Lin said.

"They are the lions who speak loudly, and we can also bargain." Li Rui said.

"It seems that after the Great Song Dynasty went through the war, it really needed gold and silver! The reason why Yanjing City is prosperous is because it is the capital city! The reason why Tianjin Wei is prosperous is because it connects Yanyun, Jiangnan, and Central Plains. The rest of the Song Dynasty must be extremely poor and backward." An Pu Lin said.

"That's the truth." Li Rui nodded.

"There is a dispute between civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty. This is our blessing! These days we have to visit some civil servants to provoke their civil and military relations! Let's say that the Song Dynasty garrisons in Liaodong are very domineering and arrogant. Jun has no father, many people don't put the emperor and the court in their eyes!" An Pulin said.

"This idea is wonderful!" Li Rui laughed.

"By the way, when I came out of the military plane just now, I heard a few officials from the Song Dynasty discuss the affairs of the Consultative Bureau. The Consultative Bureau could discuss the affairs of the court and make various suggestions to the court. The Emperor of Song Dynasty actually wanted to enter. In this so-called advisory bureau! It seems that the Song Dynasty has not only the dispute between civil and military affairs, but also the dispute between the emperor and the emperor! Imagine that the emperor is less than twenty years old. The two emperors are both young and once in charge of the country. It was only because of the war that they had to abdicate. Now they definitely want to restore the throne! I really hope that their struggle will become more and more fierce!" An Pu Lin said.

"There is such a thing? Then we must take a good look these days!" Li Rui said.

"Not bad!" An Pulin smiled and nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, An Pulin and Li Rui came to the palace again. They discussed the contract with Wang Shu again. They wanted to finalize the price of each city, but Wang Shu was the prime minister. There were many national affairs, so naturally they didn’t. Maybe they would negotiate with them every day. At the moment, Wang Shu handed over this matter to the other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department to do it.

They were discussing these matters until the fifteenth of the first lunar month. On the fifteenth of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival was celebrated in the city of Yanjing, and their two Korean envoys also went to the outside celebrations.

After the fifteenth of the first lunar month, they continued to negotiate, and when the twenty-second of the first lunar month, they finally settled the prices of all the cities! Liaoyang city fifteen hundred taels of silver, the price of the entire Liaodong is 70 million taels of silver!

"Master Wang, should we sign the contract now?" An Pulin smiled in the afternoon.

"No!" Wang Shu shook his head and said.

"Why not?" An Pulin frowned.

"First, we have not seen the gold and silver you sent! Second, the land of Liaodong is very important. It is only you two that cannot sign this related treaty. Your country must have at least a vassal or more importantly. The minister of the country is here!" Wang Shu said.

"Don't you regret it?" An Pulin said.

"Naturally not! As long as we see gold and silver, and your feudal princes arrive, we can immediately sign a contract. From now on, there will be no war between Dasong and Goryeo, and peace with each other!" Wang Shu said.

"But we can't get 70 million taels of silver all at once!" An Pulin said.

"You first pay 20 million taels of silver. In addition, I Dasong now needs food. There are still many people in the Central Plains who can't eat. Three million stones of food can replace 10 million taels of silver. You will also bring the food!" Wang Shu said.

"Can three million stone grains be worth ten million taels of silver? This is simple, we will send the grains to Dasong! But next time we arrive, we must sign this contract!" An Pu Lin said .

"This is natural! I hope you will come as soon as possible. The sooner you come, the sooner we will sign the contract!" Wang Shu said.

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, An Pulin and Li Rui left Yanjing City again. They were in a hurry, preparing to bring the news to China as soon as possible, and then preparing for the next peace talks.

By February 15th, the Consultative Council was initially established.

There are more than 70 members of the Consultative Council, all of whom are highly respected.

Among the more than 70 people, more than 20 were former officials of the Song Dynasty, and the rest were some gentry and landlords. In addition, there were three old farmers and more than ten businessmen. Whether it is a gentry, landlord, old farmer, or businessman, they are people who often help others and have a good reputation among the people. As Zhao Chen said, Li Chuwen is now investigating among the people, and then gathering people from all over the world to let the people choose the people they agree with.

Moreover, among these more than 70 people, not only are Han people, there are also more than a dozen Khitan people.

The sun had just risen on the morning of February 15th, and these seventy-odd congressmen had already arrived in a palace south of the imperial palace. Now this palace has been converted into a palace of parliament.

When they entered the palace, they realized that there were rows of seats, and the councillors sat down one after another.

Li Chuwen stepped forward first and said: "I am upon your majesty's order to set up an advisory board. All of you here are well-known figures in the Yanyun area. Your Majesty has asked us to discuss the affairs of the government on behalf of the people. We can also make suggestions for the court. Come out! In addition, your Majesty also said that this Council must first have a speaker, and your Majesty will let us choose it by ourselves! I don't know who wants to be the speaker?"

After he finished speaking, the members of the congressmen below were stunned. They looked at me and I looked at you. At this moment, a congressman in his fifties stood up and said: "The two supreme emperors are here, naturally. The Supreme Emperor is now the Speaker!"

"Yes! Naturally, the Supreme Emperor should be the speaker!"

The surrounding MPs started talking.

Until now, the faces of these congressmen have worrisome expressions. In their opinion, this advisory bureau is also an institution of the court, and they seem to be officials now! They have not yet figured out the difference between members and officials, nor have they figured out what the advisory council does! Although they have listened to Li Chuwen's explanation before, this advisory board is a new thing, and they still feel confused! As for the election of the "President", they naturally thought of the Supreme Emperor.

"Father, you should sit here as the speaker." Zhao Huan said.

"Very good! Since everyone recommends me to serve as the speaker, I will do my part!" Zhao Ji stood up and said with a look of excitement.

"Taiwan, please!" Li Chuwen said.

"Is there no throne on it? Where am I sitting?" Zhao Ji said.

"Your Majesty said, the speaker is sitting down like ordinary members, but you are in the front position below." Li Chuwen said.

Zhao Ji frowned, but still sat down in the front row.

"Your Majesty let us first discuss the routine schedule of the Advisory Bureau." Li Chuwen said.

"Wait!" Zhao Ji stood up abruptly and said.

"Sir, is there any problem?" Li Chu said gently.

Hearing the words "Sir Speaker", Zhao Ji was stunned, and then said: "Since I am the Speaker, naturally I tell you what to do, you all listen to me!"

"This... Your Majesty said that in the Consultative Bureau, the minority obey the majority! Any question can only be approved by the majority before going to the court!" Li Chuwen said.

"I understand this. Chen'er has told me that the minority obeys the majority. If what I say is not reasonable, everyone will not agree. Even if I am too emperor, I can't pass it, but I have to say a question now!" Zhao Ji said.

"I don't know what the problem is?" Li Chuwen said.

"I think the royal court pays too little silver to the palace every year!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said.
