YM778.TV Chapter 512 - Working with Louye (1)
“This king came over naturally to discuss official matters, a huge matter in fact! I heard that Dayu intended on having trading relations with Yuheng? Plus, we’d combine the money farms and have one unifying currency!”
King Louye cut straight to the chase and the emperor naturally didn’t delay either. “That’s right. Since the countries are at peace now, why bother stopping the country from progressing? If a country wants to develop, it must compensate for its shortcomings. Firstly, it can further harmony amongst countries and minimize conflicts. Secondly, it’s so the common people could live even better too.”
Gong Yimo had said this in order to convince nations to open their doors. The meaning was clear. But if they had really done it, it’d be a huge step to progress within the nations. It’d also improve the nations’ political achievements.
Though they needed courage, Gong Cheng wasn’t afraid of danger at all.
In the end, Gong Yimo had a weapon in her hand. Once war started, she’d do something for sure. This was probably why Gong Cheng wasn’t afraid of opening the nation up to others.
“The king of Dayu has broad views. This king admires your foresight.” Longcheng Wuji flattered Gong Cheng first and then said, “This king won’t beat around the bush either. I came here with the intention of representing Louye to collaborate with Dayu. whether it’s a collaboration of money farms or trading relations between two nations, this king looks forward to it.”
His sincerity is allowing his fiancee to ruin Royal Sister’s conferring title ceremony?
Gong Jue listened coldly to this, smiling but stayed quiet.
Gong Cheng froze a bit before smiling. “This is great! King Louye, do you want to discuss this in private?”
Longcheng Wuji glanced at the people present. There weren’t many. “It’s fine. This is great!” When his vision landed on Gong Jue, his gaze narrowed slightly. “It’s better to do this quickly.”
Gong Cheng toasted him and smiled. “If that’s the case, this emperor wants to know how Louye wants to collaborate.”
He hid the astute glint in his eyes and asked.
The reason why Dayu and Yuheng were able to collaborate so quickly was because of the contract in Mo’er hands. She was able to keep the upper hand for Dayu but what about Louye? If they were just collaborating on common grounds, he was scared that the other party might fall out with them one day.
Longcheng Wuji chuckled. “Naturally, we’ll be collaborating on common grounds. Louye and Dayu will open their nations to each other and have a single unifying currency.”
Gong Cheng’s expression froze. After a while, he chuckled deeply. “This emperor trusts everyone here so I’ll cut straight to the chase. After all, Yuheng is smack in between Louye and Dayu. If we’re just collaborating on common grounds, there is room for a lot of changes. This emperor will also feel ill at ease. After all, this emperor is growing old and has a lot on his mind. This emperor isn’t as courageous as you youngsters.”
Longcheng Wuji smiled understandingly. “Naturally, we came here in a rush but in good faith. If the emperor of Dayu agrees, this king is willing to marry my sister over to Dayu in order to keep the peace between the two nations.”
Gong Cheng heard this and thought that Louye was really sincere. After all, Louye people valued lineage. Princess and nobles usually married higher ups and never foreigners. But it was still lacking. A princess wasn’t enough for him to make his mind up.
Longcheng Wuji continued, “I’m not sure what other requests the emperor of Dayu have. You can tell me and we can discuss it.”
He gave Gong Cheng the upper hand, making him feel in a difficult situation. He subconsciously looked at Gong Jue and the latter said, “Forming a deal isn’t difficult. This official has a suggestion but isn’t sure whether to say it or not.”
