The gap between the two sides is a bit big.

This negotiation will naturally not result immediately.

After explaining their own reasons, a round of negotiations will be over.

Fortunately, the two sides agreed to continue the conversation at the same time the next day, so the negotiations did not mean that the negotiations broke down.

"Your Majesty, this is what the cannibalistic claim is now.

Judging from the situation they have grasped now, their intention to negotiate is true.

But they definitely don't want to pay too much.

After all, the Great Food Empire is indeed a country that no one can compare to in the Middle East.

Even looking at the whole world, no other country except our Tang Dynasty is their opponent.

In this case, they probably find it difficult to accept very harsh conditions."

On the "Yang Benman's name is confusing the evil words", Yang Qiwa is reporting today's negotiations to Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Di Renjie and others were also listening there.

"It's very normal for negotiations, there are coming and going.

As long as the other party’s willingness to negotiate is confirmed, many things will naturally be easier to handle.

Anyway, the claims we put forward today are not what we really hope to achieve.

For example, the ceasing of various ports can actually make appropriate concessions.

Considering the sensitivity of territorial cedes, as long as the cannibals make concessions elsewhere, then it is enough for us to have one port in Persia.

At worst, we can build two more ports on the west coast of southern India, so that they can rely on each other with the Persian port."

Fang Xuanling was in a very good mood.

He was not worried at all because today's negotiations were not going well.

On the contrary, in his opinion, today's negotiations were actually very smooth.

At least I know what the big cannibal thought was.

If the other party plays the cards, this matter is actually easy to handle.

"Fang Xiang is right. As long as you can get other benefits, we can relax the port conditions appropriately.

Anyway, even if the port was returned to the Dashi Empire.

If we feel it is necessary one day, we can still grab it again.

In the words of Master, what is a treaty?

The signing of the treaty is actually used to tear it down.

We must first get the benefits, and we can wait until we can do other things slowly."

Although Di Renjie's official position cannot be compared with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, he is Li Kuan's disciple and Li Shimin's son-in-law, so his right to speak naturally will not be low.

"For our Tang Dynasty, ensuring the smooth flow of Western trade roads should be the main purpose.

Whether it is a Persian port or some other requirements, it is being carried out around this purpose.

As long as this goal can be achieved, other things can be discussed.

Of course, we have spent so much manpower and material resources, and this convenient cost must be brought back.

If you can get a little more back, it will naturally be the best.”

Regarding the big troubles, Changsun Wuji did not stand up and deliberately couldn't get along with Fang Xuanling or Di Renjie.

At this time, everyone naturally has to work together to get the cannibalism done.

Then he returned to Beijing happily and enjoyed various honors.

Although neither Fang Xuanling nor Changsun Wuji participated in this battle in person.

But as long as the "Yang Benman" keeps following the army, their contributions will be impossible.

"Wuji said it also makes sense, and the profits of Western trade are very huge.

As long as it operates well, we can bring back 10 million profits to our Tang Dynasty in a year.

There is a lot of room for development here.

I heard that in Europe, anything produced by our Tang Dynasty can be sold at a sky-high price.

Like silk, it is directly equivalent to the price of gold.

As for clocks, mirrors and other things, they are even more amazingly priced.

Although we are not sure what the situation in Europe is like.

However, from all aspects of the understanding, there are many countries there.

Although every country is not as big as our Tang Dynasty, its population should be tens of millions.

I think the consumption capacity of these people should not be underestimated."

Fang Xuanling was very clear about Li Kuan’s thoughts.

So after Changsun Wuji said this, he immediately stood up and agreed.

"Since that's the case, then for tomorrow's negotiations, we will make some concessions in terms of the ceasing of the port.

But there must be sufficient guarantees in terms of commercial interests."

Li Shimin didn't worry about anything anymore.

Based on the discussions of the following people, a decision was made.

...

"General Muaweiye, what do you mean by the Tang people today? Do they really want the lion to open their mouths and think that our Dashi Empire will agree to them with anything?"

Hassan, who returned to the inn, immediately discussed today's negotiations with Muaweiye.

"No, from today's negotiations, we can just feel that the Tang Dynasty was sincere in discussing with us.

Our previous speculation was completely wrong.”

"Well? How do you say this? If the Tang Dynasty was very sincere, it would not have made such unreasonable requests, right?"

"No, my understanding is a little different from yours.

It was precisely because the Tang Dynasty casually proposed that we wanted all our ports, which proved that they did not care so much about the ports.

Obviously, they knew that we could not agree with their claim.

In this case, the request they made was nothing more than intentional to make some concessions elsewhere.

We have so many ports, even if we agree to ced all to the Tang Dynasty, they will not want them.

In order to manage these ports, how many people does the Tang Dynasty need to arrange to go to the West?

As far as I know, the Tang Dynasty now occupies a large amount of territory in Australia, America, and Southeast Asia.

But in these places, except for a few ports, the rest are still deserted.

Datang cannot even manage ports like this without dispute or development risks, so how can it really like our ports?"

After Muaweiye was hit twice, he obviously had a good understanding of the Tang Dynasty.

In this era, the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi had increased.

As long as you really want to inquire about the other party's situation, it is actually not that difficult.

In particular, newspapers such as the Datang Daily are also sold in Qiwanggang.

Even if you are a great cannibal, you just need to buy each issue of the "Da Tang Daily" and study it to learn a lot about the Tang Dynasty.

"Then what do you think are the things that the Tang Dynasty must have achieved in today's proposal?"

At this time, Hassan felt a little confused about the authorities.

"In terms of ports, I think their claim is not very strong. As long as we persist, at most we only need to ced one or two to them.

As for compensation, you probably have to pay for it. After all, Datang spent a lot of money, so I definitely hope to find some of it back from us.

But I have a way to solve this problem.

In recent years, many merchants have made great money in Western trade, many of which are your competitors.

We can find a way to search these competitors and use their money to fill the compensation.

Even if someone complains about this matter in front of the Caliph, it is estimated that the Caliph will be mixed up with the big things and become small things.

As for the interests of the Datang merchants, I guess it is difficult for me to compromise.

They attach great importance to Western trade and want to enter the market of our Dashi Empire.

If we cannot meet their free trade claims, even if we signed an agreement today.

In a few years, there may be twists and turns."
