Outside Tangcheng.

Hundreds of miles away.

At the foot of a barren mountain.

The three figures of Ye Jun appeared, and their eyes fell on the barren mountain. Qingqian said, "Lord, this is Baigu mountain."

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "it's not far from Tangcheng and has an excellent geographical location. If iron ore mining is convenient for transportation, why should Nantang give up here and mine in wantieshan instead?"

Ye Jun said, "the specific reason is that only the Tang emperor can give us the answer."

In fact, from what he learned in the city, he had guessed that the reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty gave up the baigushan iron mine was their poor mining technology.

They mined several times, and all the craftsmen who finally entered the iron ore were buried here. Over time, no craftsmen were willing to come here.

Then all kinds of ghosts and snake gods appeared, making it a forbidden area for the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Ye Jun didn't believe in the so-called ghosts and gods. There was no mining in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was an opportunity for him.

If you can get the baigushan iron mine, you can directly build the Arsenal here at that time. Under the leadership of Ou Yezi, you can certainly achieve the goal he set.

In addition, if the arsenal is built here, the distance to the North battlefield will be greatly shortened, and the forged weapons can be put into use in the battlefield at the first time.

At this time.

A sound of horse hoofs came. Ye Jun followed the sound and looked at the visitor. "Unexpectedly, he came here."

The sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer. After a while, Tang Ling came with a team of attendants and stopped at Ye Jun's side. "How is king Xiaoyao interested in coming to this wild mountain?"

Ye Jun said, "I'll come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The intention of the Tang emperor to come here will not be the same as me!"

Tang Ling said, "I already know the real purpose of King Xiaoyao's coming here. Do you want to go in?"

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "the king will turn around and won't go in!"

Tang Ling came straight to the point, "King Xiaoyao wants to get baigushan iron mine. You can tell me that I will naturally meet you."

Ye Jun's sword eyebrow was startled. It seems that he underestimated the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty knows my intention and is willing to hand over the baigushan iron mine, tell me about your requirements, and I will strive to meet you."

Tang Ling said, "I want to talk to King Xiaoyao about more than Baigu mountain iron mine. If King Xiaoyao is interested, you can go back to the palace with me. How about we talk in detail?"

Ye Jun said, "the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so enthusiastic that the king might as well obey his orders."

...........

Tang Palace.

Feifeng Pavilion.

Tang Ling motioned Ye Jun to sit down. "King Xiaoyao, please tell me what's the real purpose of coming to the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Ye Jun said, "the king is here to turn around. Why doesn't the Tang emperor believe it?"

Tang Ling gestured to the maid on one side to pour tea for ye Jun, "I have some knowledge in governing the state of Tang for many years. If I guess correctly, King Xiaoyao is going to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "the army of the state of Xia defends the land of Nanliang. As long as king Xiaoyao gives an order, they can drive straight into the Tang city."

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "Xia and the Southern Tang Dynasty depend on each other. How can the king set up troops to attack the Tang Dynasty? I'm really not that kind of person. "

Tang Ling's eyes twinkled and looked at Ye Jun in front of him. He whispered in his heart. Is that really not the case? Then why do you repeatedly mention going to Xiajun camp?

A moment of silence.

She raised her tea cup and took a sip. She continued: "Xia is a powerful country. All countries know that this crisis in the Southern Tang Dynasty is also thanks to Xia's help. I will remember this friendship."

"If the state of Xia raises troops to the South Tang Dynasty, the people will be poisoned by the war, so I decided to submit to the state of Xia and the South Tang Dynasty will become a subsidiary of Xia. I don't know what king Xiaoyao wants."

Ye Jun said, "it's a blessing for the people that the Tang emperor thinks so much of the people. Since the Tang emperor has such an idea, the king will complete you on behalf of his father."

That's very considerate.

Tang Ling also said, "I also have requirements for the Southern Tang Dynasty to become a subsidiary of Xia."

Ye Jun said, "listen, I will satisfy you."

Tang Ling continued: "the Southern Tang Dynasty has become a subsidiary, and half of the grain is dedicated to the state of Xia every year, but I must govern the Southern Tang Dynasty myself, and the state of Xia must not intervene."

"Second, the army corps of the state of Xia guarded the border areas and should not indiscriminately kill innocent people. The state of Xia should introduce the technology of forging weapons and refining fine salt, as well as the food of the state of Xia, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, into the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Third, Xia married the Southern Tang Dynasty and got close."

Ye Jun said with a smile, "first, third, the king can meet you. As for the second, we should change it. The soldiers and horses of the Xia state will never indiscriminately kill innocent people. As for weapons and fine salt technology, they will not flow into the Southern Tang Dynasty. Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be planted in the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Tang Ling looked at Ye Jun fiercely and said, "King Xiaoyao doesn't seem to be very sincere."

Ye Jun said, "my king is full of sincerity, but it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. All these three conditions are beneficial to the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Otherwise, I'd better go to the summer army camp!"

Tang Ling said, "what did the carefree King mention about the Xia army camp? These three conditions really seem to be beneficial to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but has the carefree King ever thought about how many resources the Xia state can get?"

"The general food of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and all the resources of the Southern Tang Dynasty are left to Xia Guo. The iron ores of wantieshan and Baigu mountain have been coveted by the northern Qin Dynasty for a long time. If I give such conditions to the northern Qin Dynasty, King Xiaoyao said that the Qin Emperor will agree to my three conditions?"

What do you mean, put him in the army?

This woman doesn't look like a good person.

Ye Jun said quietly, "if the Tang emperor gives the three conditions to the Qin emperor, I can guarantee that before the Qin army reaches the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will completely belong to the Xia state. I am still very confident about the speed of the Xia army."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "I believe the emperor of the Tang Dynasty should know the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes and introduce them to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The annual grain output is at least 100 times that of today."

"Why weapons and fine salt technology? Let Xia Jun do the fighting and killing, and the Tang Emperor will be at ease to be your throne. Isn't that good? "

Tang Ling said, "in that case, I'll discuss with all the officials and give an answer to King Xiaoyao in a few days."

Ye Jun got up slowly and said in a deep voice, "the emperor of Tang discussed slowly. I will go to the summer camp at the border first."

"Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to put pressure on you. I'm just turning around."

Watching Ye Jun leave the windward Pavilion, Tang Ling came to the window, looked into the distance, took a panoramic view of the whole Tang City, and cast a dark color on her face.

She could not accept the Southern Tang Dynasty governed by herself and would eventually choose to submit to the Xia state. To be honest, she still had many ambitions to fulfill.

At this time.

Nalan Mengqian appeared and came to Tang Ling. "Promise him. I just got the news. On the battlefield of the new moon country, the Xia country won another victory, and the troops of Fusang and Nanwu were almost destroyed."

Tang Ling: "......"
