Chapter 787
Wang Dong's action was very fast.
After he left Lin Xiqi's side, he immediately sent someone to the Western Regions.
Three days later, the news was on Lin Xiqi's desk.
After watching it, Lin Xiqi chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that this new king is very talented."
"I really didn't expect this." Wang Dong sighed speechlessly.
He didn't expect the other party to be so tough.
The new king's meaning is very clear, that is, he can support trade between the two sides, but it must increase it ten times based on the current tariffs.
The reason is that the goods transported by the caravans in Daxia can often be sold for dozens of times the price.
Of course, this is just an excuse.
He was not willing to interact with Daxia.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Wang Dong asked again.
"Send someone to talk again, we must show enough sincerity." Lin Xiqi said.
"Okay." Wang Dong nodded.
Wang Dong knew that Lin Xiqi was for the "Red Lotus Sect" in the Western Regions.
There is basically no room for negotiation for the new king of Persia.
Next, if the caravans in Daxia want to do business in the Western Regions, they have to pay high tariffs.
This is something I can't accept.
"Sir, someone asks for a visit." After Wang Dong left, Lin Xiqi had not passed in the study for an hour, a yamen runner came to report.
"Who?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"It's a woman, she said she came from the west." said the yamen runner.
"Oh, let her come in."
Lin Xiqi thought to himself that he finally came, faster than he expected.
It seems that the situation in the "Red Lotus Sect" in the Western Regions is not very optimistic.
"Please sit down." Lin Xiqi looked at the other party and chuckled, "I haven't seen each other for a while since the Seven Star Sect parted.
"Mr. Lin, you should know my purpose." Aunt Jiang said after sitting down on the chair without any politeness.
"No, I don't know." Lin Xiqi shook his head and said.
Aunt Jiang took a deep breath.
She knew that the other party must have known it. Now she said that she wanted to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
She wanted to change this situation, but she couldn't think of any way.
"I'm here, hoping to get help from Lord Lin," said Aunt Jiang.
"No problem, I think we had a happy cooperation at the beginning." Lin Xiqi said, "If you have any difficulties, just say it."
"Mr. Lin, this matter is not a good thing for you. I think we should have the opportunity to join forces." Aunt Jiang said.
She didn't say what the hell was. The other party knew it, and she didn't need to say it anymore.
"Oh? You are talking about the succession of the new king of Persia, right?" Lin Xiqi said with a sudden look on his face, "You don't have to worry about this. We are still in negotiations. I believe there will be a result that will satisfy both sides in the end."
"Mr. Lin, you won't get what you want," said Aunt Jiang. "Houseth will not give in. I still know him very well. He is an extremely xenophobic person. It is impossible for the Daxia caravan to get benefits from him."
Housset is the new king of Persia now.
"I have to talk to you before I know it." Lin Xiqi said, "I don't care whether he is extremely outspoken or not. I believe that as long as there is enough profit, everything can be achieved."
"Why are you going to accept ten times the tariff?" Aunt Jiang asked.
Before Lin Xiqi could answer, Aunt Jiang continued: "Although ten times tariffs are a lot, it is acceptable for the caravans in Daxia to accept and bear it. They still have a lot of money to transport goods back to Daxia. But I want to remind the adults, don't underestimate Houssete. At that time, he can increase tariffs, fifteen times, twenty times, in short, he is unwilling to have any relationship with the people of Daxia."
"This is a bit of a headache." Lin Xiqi said.
"So this time, I came here to ask for help from the adults, and also wanted to resolve this dilemma for the adults." Aunt Jiang said, "Hussein, he is different. He fully supports communication with Daxia. If he can get to power, in addition to restoring his previous interaction status, he can also continue to offer preferential treatment in tariffs. I believe it will bring more benefits to Lord Lin."
Hussein, Husseth's brother, the former crown prince of Persia.
"Huh? This Hussein is still alive?" Lin Xiqi said in surprise, "I thought he was dead."
"Hmph, with our protection, how can the people over Housset have a chance?" Aunt Jiang snorted coldly.
"I thought you came here this time to help you the 'Red Lotus Sect', but I didn't expect that you have greater ambitions. This is to push Hussein back to power, so your temperament will be completely different." Lin Xiqi said.
This is the truth, Lin Xiqi did not lie.
He really didn't expect the other party to have such thoughts.
I originally thought that the other party just wanted to save the "Red Lotus Sect".
But they seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to push Housset off the stage.
If it is just to help the "Red Lotus Sect", it is still easier.
But if it involves a country's throne struggle, it will be different.
There are too many related matters at that time. It is really hard to say whether there are enough benefits for me.
After all, the price will be much greater.
"This is also for the sake of adults. Only in this way can the Daxia caravans travel smoothly." Aunt Jiang said.
"You are too arrogant to me. I don't have this ability." Lin Xiqi said.
"No, it's not that you are highly esteemed, but that you have this strength." Aunt Jiang said.
"Oh?" Lin Xiqi raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and did not speak out.
"Hou Yuan invaded Liangzhou, with an army of 400,000." Aunt Jiang sighed, "Isn't all this the result of the adults' operation behind the scenes? Relying on the forces of the Liangzhou government alone? Oh, those forces may also be the people in the hands of the adults? If you still say that if you can give up some people, I still have no problem with the Persian country."
"Don't praise me so high." Lin Xiqi said, "You also know that the 400,000 troops of Houyuan invaded. In addition, there are many Tartar masters. They besieged Fuyun Sect, and Fuyun Sect was almost ruined. I don't know if you know."
"So serious?" Aunt Jiang shook her head, "We just heard that they besieged Fuyun Sect and finally returned in vain. As for the rest, I don't know much about it."
This is true, they really don't know much about this.
The main reason was that it was the turmoil in Persia at that time, and when Housset seized power at a critical moment, they could not put more attention to Liangzhou.
So I can only know the approximate ones.
"There is nothing to hide. The Fuyun Sect is still being rebuilt, and there are too many casualties and injuries." Lin Xiqi sighed.
These words made Aunt Jiang fall into silence.
If Lin Xiqi's power loss is too great, it will be really troublesome.
