"The Xiongnu and our Daliang have always been at peace. You are here for peace talks. Please stand up quickly. There is no need to be so formal!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
Qin Yu naturally took a tough stance towards people with bad intentions, but now that the Hun envoy had not shown any bad intentions, he had to treat him with courtesy.
"Thank you, Your Highness! We Xiongnu people love peace, and Daliang is a country of etiquette. I believe that we will be able to reach a good result through our talks this time."
Pu Bucheng stood up and said with a smile.
However, the look he gave Qin Yu was full of hostility, because in his opinion, this time Qin Yu would have to bow to the Huns, and the Huns would get the greatest benefit.
"Haha! First, tell me how you Xiongnu want to negotiate. If it's not too excessive, this prince will agree directly!"
Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, we Xiongnu wish to establish diplomatic relations with Daliang, allowing our two countries to exchange what we have and what we need. We would like to establish a common trade zone in Daliang's border city, which will be jointly protected by our two countries!"
Pu Bucheng said in a deep voice.
He did not directly mention the matter of refined salt, but instead made a very friendly proposal to Daliang. Establishing a trade zone would mean that it would be very convenient for merchants from the two countries to exchange what they have and what they need there.
Moreover, since it is a city of Daliang, the taxes will naturally belong to Daliang. According to his estimation, Daliang's tax revenue can increase by tens of millions of taels of silver every year!
Of course, these are only temporary. After all, the Huns will also station troops there, and when the time is right, they will station more troops.
Then, the Huns would naturally take a share of the tax revenue from this area!
Of course, these are all later stories. At present, they are very friendly to Daliang, and Qin Yu has no reason to refuse.
However, what seemed like a small problem to Pu Bucheng was a very big problem to Qin Yu.
"Haha! Why set up a trade zone in my city of Daliang? And not on Xiongnu territory? And why not build one together on the border?"
Qin Yu asked back with a sneer.
Forehead......
Pu Bucheng was speechless for a moment. What do you mean? I've already given Daliang such a big benefit, and you're still asking me why? Ten million taels of silver in tax revenue every year, and you don't want it?
"Your Highness, this is the sincerity of our Xiongnu. We will establish a trade zone in Daliang. The taxes levied on merchants when they trade with each other will naturally belong to Daliang!"
Pu Bucheng said in a deep voice.
"Oh! So that's what you mean? That's great! Come on! Write it down quickly and have the Xiongnu envoy sign it!"
Qin Yu looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and immediately asked the Hun envoy to sign.
He certainly knew how much tax revenue would be brought to Daliang by establishing a commercial zone in the city, but at the same time, it would also be a huge challenge to the security of Daliang's border!
Moreover, he knew better than anyone what Pu Bucheng was up to. He must have set his sights on the territory of Daliang. In the future, the Huns would find a way to take over those commercial areas.
Because it is a commercial area, merchants from both countries trade there together, and the Huns can use this as an excuse to make trouble. Qin Yu asked them to sign and seal, which at least can avoid the Huns' unreasonable demands!
When Pu Bucheng heard what Qin Yu said, his expression changed slightly. When he saw that someone really went to record it, Pu Bucheng's face became uglier than pig liver.
When Qin Yu put the written paper in front of Pu Bucheng, Pu Bucheng froze there.
"Sign it! What? What you just said was all a lie? You didn't mean it at all. In fact, you also want this tax revenue?"
Qin Yu asked in succession.
