Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 93: The Law of the Sun
The other three looked at Xia Fan in surprise, probably because he didn't expect that he would refute the decision of Her Royal Highness at this time.
Ning Wanjun stood up suddenly, winked at Xia Fan, and then walked outside the hall.
The scene was silent for a while.
Xia Fan seemed to be unaware, and followed the other party out of the meeting hall.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the princess suddenly became angry, "Do you know what tribute means? It is not a unilateral tribute, you have to give an equal or higher standard in return! First say yes , I will not cede the covenant to six, this matter must be led by Jinxiacheng."
"I think so too."
"Then why do you insist on maintaining the relationship a hundred years ago?" The princess was puzzled, "With our current ability, how can we get the same amount in return?"
"The Evil Horse country that was besieged by the princes may not have tens of millions of dollars. The details can be discussed later, but once the tributary relationship is interrupted, it will be difficult to renew it." Xia Fan is polite. Said, "If you want to sit on a larger territory in the future--"
"Huh?" Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows.
"I mean if." He emphasized that he was assuming, "Which ordinary state exchanges can bring the benefits and prestige of a tributary country? People don't care about it now because they want us. , When the civil strife is calmed down, do you think they will still be so anxious?"
"I didn't expect you to be ignorant of diplomacy." Ning Wanjun gave him a meaningful look.
"I know a little bit." Xia Fan didn't pay attention to the other party's eyes. "Besides, we don't even have to give back any gifts. At least one thing they need urgently."
"What is it?"
"Salt," he replied.
"So that's the case." Ning Wanjun thought, "Since the kingdom of Dongsheng mentioned by the witches can use salt to win over other princes, then the kingdom of Evil Horse should also do. Moreover, the value of salt is very high, but it can be worth a part of the silver. The premise is that you can really produce it, and in addition to meeting the monthly quota, there is still a small amount left. In other words, your so-called salt production method, with the same manpower, can be twice that of the Wang family? "
"Hundred times."
"That's okay-wait, what are you talking about!?" The princess suddenly widened her eyes.
"Hundred times, conservative estimate." Xia Fan repeated, "Of course, the early stage may need to explore due to process problems, and the efficiency will not be too high, but even so, as long as the scale goes up, 100 times is a conservative statement."
"Are you sure?" Ning Wanjun felt a little incredulous even if she thought the other party was a listener. Hundred times is equivalent to putting in the same amount of manpower, the salt production of Jinxia alone can meet the needs of the entire Qiguo, and there is surplus. The reason why the imperial court wanted to take out salt for the franchise was nothing more than the huge tax and profit in it.
No...the priceless and inaccurate, she found that she couldn't think of any words to describe the value of this matter.
"Yes, but turning ideas into facts will always encounter a lot of problems. I need to experiment to estimate a more accurate figure." Xia Fan thought for a while and felt that this statement should not be an exaggeration-after all The output of Jinxiacheng is severely limited by firewood, and his method uses the sun. The gap between chemical energy and atomic energy, a hundred times, should be an extremely conservative statement.
"This method...Can I understand it?"
"Of course, it's actually using—"
"Stop!" Ning Wanjun suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
"Your Highness?" Xia Fan said vaguely.
"When the meeting is over, you can tell me alone. Remember, no one except me should disclose it-otherwise you may invite a killing."
……
Returning to the meeting hall, Ning Wanjun seemed to change her attitude. She didn't see the resistance before, and smiled at the corner of her eyes, "The covenant you mentioned may not be suitable for the situation a hundred years later. When we confirm it, We can talk about the specific details, but in principle, we are willing to inherit this relationship."
The other three retainers were dumbfounded.
They have never seen a princess so easily persuaded.
The atmosphere of the next meeting was quite harmonious. It was probably because of the promise of Qiguo's upper management that May Yao's expression became much more relaxed.
Xia Fan took this opportunity to directly introduce the topic of "Monsters for Life", which aroused everyone's surprise again.
He Gui is even more impossible to whisper.
"If this is the case, how could the Privy Council not know? Do they have to deceive the world on this point?"
Ning Wanjun pondered for a long time, "If the demon came out of life, will there be similar alien species in the offspring of the beast?"
I didn’t expect Wu Yueyao to give the answer directly, "As far as I know, there are. And many."
"Then what do they look like?"
"The so-called Jing belongs to this type of alien species. At least one hundred years ago, the practitioners called it that way."
Xia Fan suddenly remembered that Li seems to have mentioned this classification, but there is no relevant record in the literature in the Privy Council.
"The appearance of spirits is difficult to generalize. It is unspeakable and possesses the ability to sense breath. If it is born of a beast, it is usually tyrannical and bloodthirsty, and feeds on people." Wu Yueyao said in detail. Taming is like humans taming beasts."
"So, I might have seen a fine." Ning Wanjun suddenly said ~IndoMTL.com~ Where is it? "Xia Fan asked.
"When I was a child, a merchant from the Western Regions arrived in Shangyuan City and presented a two-headed parrot to the saint, saying it was a rare and exotic animal."
Two heads, still alive! This is definitely a major discovery in biology.
I don’t know if there are actually six-legged crocodiles and lizards, Xia Fan thought.
"What happened later?"
"It seems to be cooked by the second prince." Ning Wanjun wrote lightly.
"..." Everyone was dumb.
In this harmonious atmosphere, the first bilateral talks can be regarded as a successful conclusion.
After and the others dispersed, the princess took Xia Fan to a small room without windows.
"Here is..."
"In the secret room of the palace, the conversation here can not be heard by anyone." Ning Wanjun locked the door, and then sat down in front of him, "I will confirm again, the method you said will not cause the listener to lose consciousness , Even become insane?"
"Huh?" Xia Fan was a little suspicious of his ears for a while, "Why did your Highness say this?" It's just a salt-making process, so why is it involved in insanity?
"This...just in case."
He looked at the other person for a long time, and saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so he shrugged and said, "Don't worry, as far as I know, it will only increase your knowledge, not make people crazy."
"Okay. Then you go ahead." Ning Wanjun took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
Xia Fan simply ignored her weird behavior, “In fact, it’s not complicated to understand. The purpose of boiling salt in sea water is to remove water and condense the salt again.” He explained as plainly as possible, “This method is just Replace the wood and charcoal with the sun."
