Chapter 299 (1/2)
”The sunset Kingdom offered to compensate our empire?” Hearing the words, Chang sunling was stunned: ”it's the past to say so...” with these words, Chang sunling cast his eyes on Cao Ke. That's the most obvious meaning. He just wanted to listen to Cao Ke's opinions.
Cao Ke asked Cao Hong, ”brother, what is the compensation offered by the sunset kingdom?”
Cao Hong said without hesitation: ”first of all, the emperor of the sunset kingdom once again confirmed the fact that their sunset kingdom was a subordinate country of our Tongtian Empire, and greatly increased the amount of annual tribute to our Tongtian empire.”
”Secondly, the sunset kingdom will open all its trading ports to our Tongtian empire. The merchants of our Tongtian empire can do business in all the cities of their sunset Kingdom, and enjoy more preferential tax rates than the local merchants of the sunset kingdom!...”
Cao Hong said that, Cao Ke couldn't help but take a breath of cool air and said with emotion: ”the attitude of the sunset kingdom is quite right! With these two measures alone, we Tongtian empire can easily grasp the economic lifeline of the sunset kingdom as long as we have the heart... We Tongtian empire can get such two preferential terms, but it is also very profitable, no loss! No thanks
”Yes Cao Hong echoed: ”the emperors of the sunset Kingdom have proposed such conditions. What else can we say? What's more, other people's conditions are not just these two! ”
Cao Hong's words greatly shocked Cao Ke: ”what else? The kingdom of sunset is trying to force themselves to death
Prince Jingyun laughed and said: ”in order to dispel all the worries of our Tongtian Empire, the sunset Kingdom has signed a permanent agreement with us, that is, the sunset kingdom will send the second prince of each emperor to study in our Tongtian empire! Although this is nominally under the banner of learning, who doesn't know the real situation? The second prince sent to us to study is a hostage from his kingdom of setting sun! Even if they want to attack our Tongtian empire one day, they should consider the safety of the prince as a hostage first
Cao Ke nodded: ”this is also a common way for weak countries to surrender to powerful countries, and powerful countries generally use to control weak countries... Only this time, there are some exceptions. Such conditions were first proposed by the weak country of sunset Kingdom, which is like giving us a reassurance. It seems that we can trust the emperor of sunset kingdom!”
Seeing that Cao Ke didn't have any objection, Cao Hong, Prince Jingyun and chief Jingyun looked at each other and laughed. Prince Jingyun said in a harmonious voice, ”Cao Aiqing, the last thing is for you and the three young people to say. After all, you are brothers. If you have something to say, you can speak up. As for Guhe, you won't stay here any longer!”
With that, Prince Jingyun didn't wait for Cao Hong's consent, so he waved to the chief directly. They stood up and said goodbye to Cao Ke and Chang sunling. After that, they went out of the door of the study and disappeared.
Cao Hong looks at their disappearing figure, but shakes his head and laughs bitterly. Cao Ke and Chang sunling look at each other inexplicably. Chang sunling is very surprised and asks Cao Hong, ”big brother, what are you doing? Is there any other condition for the emperor of the sunset kingdom? ”
Cao Hong said: ”yes, there are other conditions for the emperor of the sunset Kingdom, but this condition is only for the Third Elder...”
”For my condition?” Cao Hong's words made Cao Ke even more confused: ”the sunset Kingdom has also put forward special conditions for me?”
Cao Hong's face was tangled, and he said for a long time that there was really no other way. He could only honestly say: ”the emperor of the sunset Kingdom appreciated Lao San's ability after he knew that it was the Hai people under the command of Lao San who defeated him like a mountain. Later, he gradually turned this kind of appreciation into extreme love The emperor of the sunset kingdom said that the reason why he proposed so many preferential terms in favor of our Tongtian Empire and the sea people was due to Laosan you... ”
Cao Ke was shocked and said: ”brother, how can I feel scared when I hear what you say Why don't you tell me what the emperor of sunset Kingdom wants me to do? ”
”Keke... The requirements of the emperor of sunset kingdom are very simple...” Cao Hong's tone is strange: ”he is very interested in your qualifications... Moreover, he has a daughter, Luna Igawa, the eldest princess of sunset Kingdom, who has not yet been betrothed to someone else... The emperor of sunset Kingdom thinks... Take his eldest princess as an example, Marry... Third brother, when you have children in the future, the girl will be owned by our Cao family. The first boy will be taken back to the sunset Kingdom and become the heir to the throne of the sunset Kingdom... ”
Cao Hong's hesitant words, just like a dull thunder on the ground, directly thunder Cao Ke and Chang sunling! Before Cao Ke said anything, Chang sunling took the lead to stand up, shook his hands, and said anxiously to Cao Hong, ”how can his sunset Kingdom put forward such conditions? No, it's absolutely not! Cao Ke is a big turnip. He will be merciful everywhere he goes. Our sisters can't even watch him. How can you help him row, elder brother? ”
