The emperor of Beichen summoned the envoy from Lingjiang the next day.
"Meet Emperor Beichen."
"Well, no need to be so polite. I wonder why Ling Jiang is here this time?" The little emperor asked from above with a puzzled look on his face.
Although he knew the purpose of Ling Jiang's visit, he still looked confused and asked sincerely.
The envoy from Lingjiang cursed in his heart, but explained calmly on the surface.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by my Majesty to Beichen." The envoy took out a sealed envelope from his arms and presented it with both hands.
"Oh? Present it."
After opening the letter and reading it, Emperor Beichen found that, as he had expected, it was about jointly resisting Dai Viet.
"I have read the letter. I just want to ask, what benefits will it bring to me to cooperate with you Lingjiang?"
Although Beichen was eager for cooperation, since it was a negotiation, he couldn't reveal it too early and had to be cautious.
As for wanting to reap some benefits? Isn't that normal? Try your best to see if there are any.
Who was it that showed the other party losing control first? Although the Emperor of Beichen knew that there was basically no hope, what if? If it didn't work out, he wouldn't lose anything.
Beichen's calculations were very clear, but since the emperor of Lingjiang could send this person to Beichen to discuss such an important matter, it showed that this envoy was no pushover.
The envoy from Lingjiang answered without thinking.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to keep us in suspense. I'm sure you're also having trouble sleeping given Dayue's current pace of development.
Only if we cooperate now, while Dai Viet hasn't fully developed, can we have a chance to contain Dai Viet. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.
I believe your country can also understand this truth."
"He's quite talkative."
"It's just the truth."
"But, after saying so much, can you make the decision?"
“Of course not. This mission to your country is just to convey our willingness to cooperate and to reach a preliminary intention for cooperation.
Judging from your reaction, Your Majesty, I believe my trip was not in vain."
"Humph! Tomorrow the Regent will go to Lingjiang with you to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."
The Emperor of Beichen felt somewhat unhappy after hearing what the envoy said. Everyone knew it was the truth, but shouldn't you be more tactful?
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he still knew what was important and what was not. Otherwise, he would not have decisively put aside the internal conflict between him and the Regent when he heard about the development of Dai Viet.
The envoy was right in saying that the sooner they acted, the better it would be for them. Otherwise, by the time Daiyue was ready, the price they would have to pay would be even greater.
He didn't believe that the Emperor of Dai Viet was still unaware of their actions, and he probably was also making every effort to prepare for war.
So, he casually asked a question, and knowing that the emperor of Lingjiang was not confused, he did not make trouble and agreed readily.
Every day later means one more day to prepare. By the time you are fully prepared, the best opportunity will have passed.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After the envoys left, the Emperor of Beichen convened a meeting with the Prime Minister and a group of generals including the Regent.
It was not until the next day that Rong Yi came out of the imperial study and went directly to Lingjiang.
Ye Han and Yue Chengyu have already got the feed, but there is still a problem after that, that is, raw soybeans cannot be used directly as feed.
They need to be fried, which means that the soybeans and bran need to be sent back to Dai Viet as soon as possible.
"We made a mistake in this matter." Ye Han sighed after knowing that raw soybeans cannot be used directly as feed.
"Yes, but it's not a big problem. It's just a little troublesome. Daiyue's fodder reserves can still last for a while."
Then Yue Chengyu said, "The main responsibility for this matter lies with me. When the Minister of Revenue gave me the list, I didn't know there was ready-made feed.
You don't know much about feed, so if I had known more about it or mentioned it to you, I might have just bought it ready-made."
To be honest, this is the first time that Yue Chengyu has made such a big mistake since he started working in the court.
"It's not a big deal, but we have to spend all the money right now, quickly build the space-time portal, and send the things back to Dayue."
"Then let's buy the warehouse first?"
"You go talk to the warehouse owner about the warehouse. I'll contact the pharmaceutical factory to see if I can buy some penicillin powder and alcohol."
"good."
"By the way, has the address in Dayue been chosen?"
"It's been chosen. I went back that day and mentioned it to Father and the others, and the location was chosen the next day. Now the changes are almost done, the only thing left is to install the gate."
The two people acted separately. It was easy to buy alcohol from Ye Han's place, and there was also a ready-made excuse of a processing factory.
In food processing factories, workers entering and leaving workshops, packaging and shipping, etc. all need to be disinfected. It is normal for alcohol to be consumed quickly. In fact, the amount used by Ye Han is less than half of that of some large factories.
It did not attract the attention of alcohol manufacturers at all.
Buying penicillin was a bit of a hassle; it was hard to keep it from attracting attention in such a large quantity. In the end, they decided to use it for livestock.
When visiting the pharmaceutical factory, Ye Han acted like a nouveau riche with lots of money.
All actions should not be carried out in a suitable way, but in the most cost-effective way.
Even if the salesperson repeatedly says that this purity is sufficient for animal use, the purity above is what we humans usually use. That is much more expensive than animal use.
Ye Han replied directly, "That won't work. The animals in my farm are delicate and have been fed the best since they were young. Your purity is not enough. What if they are not used to it and something goes wrong?"
The salesperson was speechless, and in the end, he could only earn nearly half the extra money with tears in his eyes.
Ye Han was also embarrassed. This was the first time in his life that he had been so unreasonable. He had never been so embarrassed before.
[Luckily, fortunately, I disguised myself when I came here. If we meet on the street from now on, no one should recognize me, right?]
However, the negotiations with Yue Chengyu were not as smooth as those with Ye Han. The owner of the warehouse had no intention of selling the warehouse.
Therefore, even though Yue Chengyu offered a very high price, the owner of the warehouse did not agree immediately.
However, because the price was very considerable, he was still hesitant. Finally, after Yue Chengyu raised the price for the last time, the owner of the warehouse sold it.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Yue Chengyu asked a lawyer to draft a contract, signed it, and transferred the money all in one go that day.
The moment Ye Han received the transfer information, a reminder popped up on the system.
Ye Han couldn't wait to open the system notification, and sure enough, the second space-time gate was available for exchange.
Ye Han, lying on the sofa, smiled with ease after reading it.
"Is it okay?"
"Um."
Yue Chengyu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"You can rest for two days."
"I'll install the space-time portal tomorrow and go on a long trip the day after tomorrow. Are you coming?"
"Going on a long journey?"
"Well, don't we need to buy some steel? Our city doesn't have any steel, so let's go to a city with high steel production."
