Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 325: The Three Princes of Dongjie Kingdom Go to Negotiate

Of course, there must be a storyteller here, and Su He plans to go to Fengyu City to find one. There are many storytellers there, and as long as the price is high, I believe someone will be willing to come.

She bought a lot of people here, of course there were also wounded soldiers recommended by Wang Xiaohu. She put them in the current teahouse, and they could do internship and on-the-job training directly. Now there is plenty of time. In this way, when the teahouse in Wengcheng is repaired, she can directly transfer some people there, and the new and old can be opened together.

At that time, she would not have to worry about it and could just be a hands-off boss. As the business gets better and better, they can't do everything by themselves, otherwise they will be too busy for their family.

They were all busy preparing to renovate the teahouse in Wengcheng. Over there, the capital of Dongjie State was also arguing. Some officials thought that it was a good time to accept the peace talks, which would give Dongjie State a chance to breathe. Some officials thought that as a defeated country with many casualties, how could they negotiate with Ansheng State? Some people still hated them.

King Dongjie didn't mind. They had been fighting with Ansheng for so many years, and it was hard to tell who had died more. Between countries, it was either peace talks or wars. Since Ansheng didn't bear grudges, they certainly wouldn't be petty and settle accounts.

The interests of the country are paramount, and now we cannot plunder, so we use the people's things to exchange for food and salt. These are still in short supply here. So far, food is the biggest gap, and salt can be supplemented by animal blood and milk.

Later, when Su He went to Dongjie State, he found out that they had a salt well but didn't know how to refine salt. With the small population of Dongjie State, the salt produced by that well was enough.

This also gave Su He another good opportunity to make a fortune, and of course it also allowed the third prince of Dongjie Kingdom, Yelu Yixin, to take advantage of this business opportunity and get the chance to compete for the throne.

In the end, it was King Yelu Hongchang of Dongjie who made the final decision against all objections and sent people over to negotiate. This was also in response to the request of the Ansheng Kingdom to go to their border town for peace talks.

He asked his ministers for their opinions on who to send, but they were all silent, each with their own thoughts. The war had just ended, and no one could guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed, so it was still somewhat dangerous.

He looked at his ministers and said, "My Dongjie warriors are not afraid of fighting a war with no certainty of life or death, so why would they be afraid of going to the peace talks?"

Some of the ministers did not want to negotiate, so they kept their heads down and said nothing. The ministers who agreed to negotiate were also worried. As a defeated country, they would have to bow down and might even be blamed.

At this time, the young and strong third prince Yelu Yixin stepped forward and said, "Father, I am going to negotiate peace. I don't think the Ansheng Kingdom dares to do anything to me. If they dare to touch me, I hope that father can massacre the Ansheng Kingdom and avenge me."

Yelu Hongchang laughed heartily and said, "You are worthy of being my son. You have both courage and resolution. Go with peace of mind! I know Ansheng State well. They will not act rashly."

At this time, other officials also stood up. Since there was a big boss, they would be fine if they followed him, so some people asked to go with the third prince. Yelu Hongchang asked the third prince to choose his own personnel and he would decide on these.

The third prince, Yelu Yixin, directly selected a dozen of his own men. At this time, it is safer to use his own men. Otherwise, he might be attacked by other brothers on the way, and he would be finished before reaching Ansheng Kingdom.

When no one took this opportunity, it was just a piece of rotten meat, but now that he got it, it was a sweet commodity. Especially since his father valued it so much, if the deal was successful, it would be a great achievement, how could the other brothers not be jealous.

They selected their followers and told their father that they would set off the next day. It would take several days on the road, including the round trip time. Now that the decision has been made, the sooner the better. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, it is best to start trading as soon as possible.

The next morning, the third prince Yelu Yixin gathered his men and set off. The journey was pretty good. The weather was fine these days. They traveled during the day and set up tents to camp at night. This was a very normal operation for them.

They all lived in tents, and only in the imperial city did they live in brick and stone houses. They learned this from Ansheng Country. In times of heavy wind and snow, those houses were more cold-resistant and safer than tents. Also, as a country, it must have its own imperial city.
