Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1129

[Chapter 1129 Equivalent Exchange]

The wind from the sea passed by the general’s mansion slowly.

Guan Tong and Newman were sitting opposite each other, and they could overlook the blue sea not far away from the side.

It has to be said that the Britons are very good at picking places.

Guan Tong is also very satisfied with the current General’s Mansion.

Newman talked with Guan Tong about the next cooperation in such a beautiful place, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

He continued the previous sentence and continued, “Our Persian country is not willing to submit to the Tusman Empire, but with the strength of our Persian country, we can’t get rid of the influence of the Tusman Empire, so my father hopes to get it from Dasong. Firearms, artillery, if Dasong can directly support our military factory in the same way that the Western Turks supported Tusman, we will be more than welcome.”

Guan Tong nodded upon hearing this.

He naturally knew that the reason why other countries in Middle-earth would be easily conquered by the Tusman Empire was that they lost to the Tusman Empire in terms of guns and artillery.

If they can obtain guns and artillery equivalent to the Tusman Empire, other countries in Middle Earth will no longer be afraid of the Tusmans.

Then, the hegemony of the Tusman Empire in Middle-earth will collapse at an unprecedented speed, and the Dasong army does not even need to do it personally.

For Da Song, this is also very cost-effective.

Their emperor Zhao Xu naturally considered this point.

So there is such a condition in the negotiation conditions given to him.

So he said, “There is no doubt that this article is absolutely beneficial to your Persian country, so what benefits can you provide us?”

Newman was already prepared when he came.

And he was clear that although the Great Song general said mutual benefit and win-win results, it was impossible for Persia to be on an equal footing with the Eastern powers that could defeat the Western-Turkish Allied Forces.

The best they hope for is to have normal contacts with Dasong and get support on the premise that Dasong does not invade Persia.

Even if it loses some benefits, it is worth it.

He said, “First of all, we will pay for these guns and artillery, and even the entire steam factory, and secondly, we will provide any support for your Dasong forces to enter Middle-earth, and we will also give the Dasong country the most favorable treatment in terms of trade .”

Before going to Tianzhu, their Persian country had already learned a little about Dasong through the Persian merchants who traded with Dasong.

In general, they think that Dasong is not as aggressive as the Western natives, who like to enslave a country and turn this country into their own colony.

After Da Song defeated the enemy of the Eastern Turk country, he preferred to include the other country into the trade system he established.

Conquered countries, on the other hand, maintained relative independence.

Da Song only supervises and protects these countries through the army of the Protectorate, and basically does not interfere with their internal governance.

In other words, as long as Da Song is not an enemy, Da Song will not easily invade a country.

And this is what their Persian country hopes, even if they suffer some losses in trade, it is worth it.

“Hahaha, it is indeed a very attractive condition.” Guan Tong laughed when he heard this.

This is exactly what he wanted.

After the Tianzhu War, Emperor Zhao Xu and the cabinet formulated a strategy to invest more money in development and avoid spending too much money on war.

In other words, for a period of time in the future, the Dasong army will avoid directly participating in the war.

More is to take the route of supporting regional countries to disintegrate regional hegemony and reconstruct regional order.

In this way, they can not only earn a lot of wealth by selling guns and artillery, and even steam industry technology to regional countries, but also achieve their own strategic goals.

Thinking of this, he continued, “This is also our preliminary request. If so, we can start our cooperation after we improve the details. We can even set up a training base in Tianzhu to help you train generals and soldiers.”

“Really?” Newman showed a look of surprise.

Just now he was very disturbed, for fear that the great general would think that the conditions he raised were too much.

“Of course, we Dasong people keep our promises the most.” Guan Tong said seriously.

“Thank you, thank you, then we can discuss the details now.” Newman was a little impatient, for fear that Guan Tong would regret it.

These years they have been oppressed by the Tusmans, and they have to pay huge tribute coins to the Tusmans every year.

For this, they have long been a little impatient.

“Yes.” Guan Tong replied simply.

According to the plan, they will discuss the preliminary terms of the contract, which will then be sent to Yancheng for deliberation by the cabinet and reviewed by Emperor Zhao Xu.

If passed, the terms with the Persian state will come into force.

Next, the two discussed for a long time before finally reaching a preliminary contract.

The contract includes the types and prices of guns and artillery provided by Dasong, and the price of training the army.

Among them are the clauses on the export of the steam industry.

Currently, Dasong is already exporting a complete set of steam industrial equipment to the dependent countries.

However, instead of exporting technology directly, they output finished products.

In other words, they will sell a whole set of steam engines, but they will not teach them the technology of making steam engines.

In the future, their steam equipment maintenance and replacement will require the support of Dasong’s skilled workers.

The reason why they did this was that according to the calculation of the Department of Commerce, Da Song could obtain the greatest benefit in the short term.

Even if these countries master these technologies through development in the future, they have already earned what they should have earned.

Because of the huge profits, they are now willing to export steam industry products that are a generation behind.

So it is the same with Persia.

In addition to guns and artillery, the steam industry, the two also discussed trade issues.

In this regard, Guan Tong proposed that the trade between the two countries must be settled through Song Yuan.

In other words, if Persia wants to buy Dasong, it must use Song Yuan.

“But we don’t have Song Yuan in Persia?” Newman was obviously a little confused about the condition of Guantong.

It’s not that they don’t want to use Song Yuan, it’s that they don’t.

“Of course we have thought about this issue. You can transport the country’s gold and silver to the Dasong Royal Bank and exchange them for Song Yuan. You can exchange them in kind if you are alive.” Guan Tong said slowly.

Song Yuan is related to the currency system established by Da Song.

Not only did they do this to Persia, but in the future they would treat any other country that trades with Dasong.

And the reason they can do this is that Dasong has industrial products that other countries do not have.

Even in the future, Western countries can only abide by this point.

“Well, it’s not impossible.” Newman frowned.

In fact, he doesn’t like this. After all, gold and silver are hard currencies. After they are exchanged for Dasong’s currency, if Dasong refuses to recognize them, these coins will become waste paper.

However, now he can only take risks and gamble on Da Song’s reputation.

Of course, they will not bet all their wealth at once.

Will gamble with a small portion of wealth first.
