Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 710 Friendly Trade
Now that the king is here, the whole atmosphere is completely different.

Princess Furong was puzzled by her father's completely different attitude before and after, and she also brought the Prime Minister and several court officials to accompany her.

The two parties just drank and chatted, and did not talk about anything serious. After lunch and before Zhuge Feng left, they finally got down to business.

"Master Deng, I entrust Princess Furong with full authority to negotiate with the Chinese Empire on behalf of the Shu Kingdom. I hope to see results as soon as possible."

Zhuge Feng explained loudly.

"Father, my daughter may not be able to handle such a big thing!"

Princess Furong said modestly.

"No, I believe you."

Zhuge Feng directly finalized the matter.

"My daughter obeys the king's orders."

Princess Furong had no choice but to accept the decree.

There are rumors in the outside world that Princess Furong and Princess Heshuo have an unusual relationship with Emperor Yongtai.

Although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, Zhuge Feng is probably very close to his daughter's attitude. Therefore, leaving this matter to her can bring greater benefits to Shu.

Now that the king of Shu has given his account, Princess Furong officially serves as the representative of Shu and starts negotiations with the Chinese Empire's mission.

In fact, these terms were similar to those negotiated by the Jin State. Even if they were modified, they were still very similar. Therefore, the two sides quickly reached an agreement on mutual assistance and trade.

As for whether the anti-counterfeiting and counter-revolutionary forces should establish a military alliance, that needs further study.

The Zhou Dynasty knew very well that although they could destroy Shu, once the Chinese Empire sent troops, they would not be able to resist it.

Therefore, if you want to destroy Shu, you must agree with the three dynasties and other dynasties. Otherwise, if you shoot the first bird, the spearhead of the Chinese Empire will definitely be aimed at the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The situation in the Kingdom of Shu is very delicate. A single move can affect the whole body. The leader of the Kingdom of Shu is also having a headache now. I wonder if he should form a military alliance?

Princess Furong meant to choose the Chinese Empire and break with the Zhou Dynasty, and the Chinese Empire was willing to ship 30 dans of grain to alleviate the current famine in the empire.

Faced with the fall of Shu to the Chinese Empire, the Zhou Dynasty issued an invitation to hold a Western Chu Alliance Conference, obviously to deal with Shu.

Lu Hao never came forward, hiding behind and waiting quietly for two days. The mutual aid and trade agreement was placed in front of the leader of the Shu Kingdom.

Princess Furong persuaded her several times, but her father still couldn't make up his mind. Unexpectedly, Princess Heshuo of Jin State actually came.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Princess Furong was very happy.

"I was worried about Lu Hao's safety, so I came over to take a look. Didn't you see him?"

Princess Heshuo asked with a smile.

"What? Lu Hao is here? Where is he?"

Princess Furong said in surprise.

"Lu Hao, this bastard, he even hid it from you, let's see how I deal with him."

Princess Heshuo said angrily.

"Sister, is what you said true?"

Princess Furong said in surprise.

"Of course it's true. He is hiding in the mission. He also said that his trip is top secret. Don't reveal his whereabouts."

Princess Heshuo betrayed Lu Hao at once.

"Thankfully, we sisters are still serving him together. I didn't expect that he is so ruthless and unjust, and he doesn't even see me."

Princess Furong was a little sad.

"Don't blame him. He is the Emperor of the Empire after all. If he appeared here, the entire Western Region would be shaken."

Princess Heshuo pursed her lips and smiled.

"Let me tell you, no wonder Mr. Deng was so cheerful and directly promised to provide us with 30 dans of grain for free."

Princess Furong suddenly realized.

"What? Provide you with 30 dans of grain for free? What about us?"

Princess Heshuo was shocked.

"We, the Kingdom of Shu, want to sign a friendly trade agreement with him, and you don't have such an agreement, so naturally there won't be one."

Princess Furong's face was filled with embarrassment.

"No! I also want 30 dans of grain!"

Princess Heshuo pouted and said angrily. "Okay! Then let's go find him together and see how I deal with him."

Princess Furong was in high spirits.

The two princesses hit it off immediately and headed towards the post house, obviously looking for trouble with Lu Hao.

"Meet Mr. Deng."

The two princesses bowed slightly and saluted.

"Hey! Princess Heshuo, why are you here too?"

Lord Deng was also shocked.

"Master Deng, is he there? We want to see him."

Princess Heshuo asked straight to the point.

"Yes, he is in the backyard. I will lead the way for the two princesses."

Master Deng nodded repeatedly.

Lu Hao was drawing a map of the mineral veins of the Shu Kingdom in his room. To his surprise, after two days of soul exploration, he found that the mineral veins in these mountainous areas were larger than those in the Yunmeng Mountains in the southeast of the empire.

The most valuable thing is that there are natural gas and oil reserves to the north, which are estimated to be similar to the oil in the Great Bay Strait.

These things are real strategic resources, how can they be handed over to others casually?
Now it is not a matter of the Zhou Dynasty wanting to destroy Shu. Even he now wants to immediately launch a westward expedition to bring this place back into the arms of the empire.

However, he has asked Master Deng to negotiate with Shu and prepare to sign a trade agreement. He can't attack his allies then, right?

Although the leader of Shu is a bit conflicted, once he figures it out, he will definitely be willing to sign a treaty.

As for the military alliance agreement, it depends on the wishes of the leader of the Shu Kingdom. The Chinese Empire has no intention of forcing the Shu Kingdom.

Trade and military alliances are different and will not touch the bottom line of the three dynasties. If a military alliance is signed, it will be completely different.

"Your Majesty, who do you think is coming?"

Master Deng opened the door.

"Princess Heshuo, why are you here?"

Lu Hao was also a little surprised.

"Lu Hao, how dare you hide this from me, the princess? Do you not want to see me?"

Princess Furong's face was full of resentment.

When Mr. Deng saw it, he quickly ran away, faster than a rabbit.

"How could it be? Didn't you see me now?"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Really, even if you don't tell them, you should tell me!"

Princess Furong had tears in her eyes and threw herself into his arms.

"Okay, I know I was wrong, don't cry!"

Lu Hao stretched out his big hand, put his arm around her waist, and comforted her with a smile.

Princess Furong has suffered a lot of grievances these days, and she vented them all out.

"Next time you lie to this princess, I will ignore you!"

Princess Furong warned.

"Okay, don't be angry."

Lu Hao finally calmed down the beauty and stopped being angry with him.

"Heshuo, why are you here too?"

Lu Hao turned to Princess Heshuo and asked.

"Your Majesty, you must not be partial. If you give Shu 30 dans of grain, what about our Jin?"

Princess Heshuo looked envious and jealous.

"That is an additional gift when we sign the trade agreement. If Jin is willing to sign, I can also give you 30 tons of grain for free."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Okay, the princess will ask your father to sign the agreement immediately. Anyway, the agreement is still with my father."

Princess Heshuo smiled slyly and agreed.
