3757 Forced to stay at the banquet
Ermao became the middleman of the negotiation today, and tried to pour cold water on the shells that were about to explode to cool down!
"What are the requirements of the Qing Dynasty? If you don't have them for the time being, you can consider them..."
"The Chinese people didn't say anything about it and wouldn't let you bargain?"
"Business, business, harmony makes money!"
Yi? Growed with a dark face, "The Qing Dynasty's territory is not a business that can be bought and sold. Don't think that I have never read Western books, so sovereignty must not be used for business!"
"Oh... Sovereignty cannot do business? I really don't know why Kowloon, Hong Kong, was lost, and the concessions on the beach were lost!" Cai Bixia said sarcastically.
"You..." Yi's chest fluctuated violently. "You... have a way to ask Xiao Letian to lead his troops to take it! We can't stop after a beat or two and we'll stare at you!"
Cai Bixia waved his hand with a smile, "The prince doesn't need to slap at me, whether the head of state or not is against the Qing Dynasty, it's not something that I, a woman, can have the final say!"
"But I'll leave the words here. You can't decide the matter of the Qing Dynasty alone! If you don't rent out land, some people will rent out!"
"There aren't people in the world who want to make money? Do you think..." Cai Bixia actually blinked at Prince Qing while speaking.
"Hey...hey...why are you looking at me? I, I...I don't like doing business. The salary of the court is enough for me..."
It's so bad that Yi Li's reputation for being greedy and lustful has long been well known. He has resold industrial products from the Northern Special Administrative Region to Gansu and Shaanxi a lot.
Yi Li's identity is not only the prince of the Qing Dynasty, but also a top-ranked dealer in the Northern Special Administrative Region. He is just the name of his slave.
Cai Bixia was so polite that he tore off the hypocritical skins of these Eight Banners nobles. You said you don’t do business? In fact, you are the most fiercer in selling the country. You can cooperate with ghosts for money!
Ermao knew that today's negotiations had completely collapsed and could not continue. He reached out to stop both sides, "Okay... It's just business. If the negotiations are completed, we are all people who do business!"
"General Cai must also listen to the head of state, and the head of state's decision must also be approved by the Grand Parliament!"
"Of course Prince Gong can make the decision, but such a great master must pass by the nod of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, right?"
"Today, both sides left their intentions, considered and discussed slowly, why bother saying so terrible? It would be difficult to meet in the future!"
Ermao set up a step, Yi? He knew that he could not continue to quarrel and snorted coldly, "I will not be as knowledgeable as a woman!"
"Oh... the prince is so generous. The little girl thanked me here! Since I have finished all the things I should say, I will leave the information here and read it slowly, and I will say goodbye!"
After talking about the serious matter, Cai Bixia didn't have time to waste time with these people. She sarcastically said that she got up and wanted to leave!
Unexpectedly, the shameless Yi Li stood up at this time, "Hey hey... Mr. Cai stayed, stayed! You are the special envoy of the Head of State, and we are also here to invite you to come!"
"The banquet is ready. If you leave like this, it seems that my Qing Dynasty is really lacking etiquette!"
"You can't leave, stay tuned... We've finished talking about the important things, how about talking about some private matters?"
Cai Bixia was scolding in his heart. Just because you have swollen nose and eye bubbles, you still want to hit me, and you don’t even urinate and take care of yourself!
"I'm grateful for Prince Qing's kindness! It seems that there is nothing private to talk about between us, right?"
"Mr. Cai is out of the blue, and the business is inconsistent! What's more, I heard that when I was in Beiyuan, I also promoted naval warships to the Empress Dowager!"
"Isn't this a bigger business? Let's talk to us about the navy? If it's so good, we will fuel the fire in the court... Maybe you can sell a few more warships!"
Cai Bixia was so angry that she laughed, "Prince Qing... Just these nine airships, five or six million business, the Qing Dynasty was so stingy that she couldn't bear to spend it. Are you still buying a warship?"
"Even if the master and discipleship are worth 2 million taels per ship, this is just a ship, not counting the cost of crew training, shells, etc."
"With such a large coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty, there are dozens of warships that may not even be enough to defend. This is a big business calculated by investing tens of millions of dollars. Can you make the decision?"
Prince Qing Yili shrank his neck as soon as he heard this, "Cough cough... I can't hold on, it's okay to listen to it! Although I don't have much power, I still have some face in the court!"
"Just just now, General Ermao also said that this big business was negotiated without a single transaction, and it would take time to work hard! If you don't talk to us in detail, how can we make a decision..."
"How are the wine and food prepared in the side palace?"
The eunuch outside quickly kowtowed and replied, "Your Majesty, you can prepare it long ago!"
"Mr. Cai, please ask... Let's treat you first according to Western etiquette today. We will not talk about the old rules of the Qing Dynasty. Please go to the table..."
The prince of the Qing Dynasty actually led a woman to the table to have a drink, and the rules of men and women who were different seats were irrelevant!
Yi and Yihuan didn't want to stay any longer, but unexpectedly, Yili raised the big topic of navy, and the two princes became interested.
They suppressed their anger and followed them into the west side hall west of Yin'an Hall. The steaming ground dragons were burning, and the room was filled with the fragrance of vegetables and flowers!
"Mr. Cai, you are a guest...please take a seat!"
Ah? The Japanese Six almost didn't get angry. The position he should have done was what he should do. Yi Li didn't know what to do today, but she actually led the woman to the main seat opposite the gate!
What is even more unexpected is that Cai Bixia actually sat down carelessly, and the room was filled with an uproar!
The uproar in front of Yin'an Palace was only a small-scale. At this moment, the women in the back house of Prince Qing's Mansion were even more uproar. Several concubines and the female officials and maids they brought were all dizzy now!
Of course, the main one is Guarjia, the concubine of the Japanese Sixth Devil. The daughter-in-law chosen by Emperor Daoguang himself has a noble status and a strong temper, otherwise she would not have spoiled her son like that.
Their group had just waited in the back house for a long time, and they didn't come to the left or right. In the end, the eunuch came to send a message saying that Cai Bixia had not come to the back house and went directly to Yin'an Palace to have an interview with the man!
"No rules! What a wild woman without rules!"
