Both parties were interested, and a new contract was quickly agreed.

First of all, Li Dan wrote an edict, passed on the throne to Li Longji, and abdicated himself as the emperor. Then, Emperor Taishang followed King Zhou Mu to tour the world, and the first stop was Lingnan Road. All officials of Lingnan Province have the right to appoint and dismiss the emperor, and the emperor must not interfere. Similarly, outside Lingnan Province, the emperor had the power to appoint or dismiss any official. The Emperor is not allowed to interfere.

Secondly, the two provinces of Shandong and Hebei were revoked, as well as the independence of the Andong Protectorate~. It was reassigned to the imperial system. Change Cui Geng's King of Ji to the King of Lingnan. If there is anyone who is willing to follow Cui Geng, the imperial court is not allowed to interfere, but within three months, he must leave.

In the end, Li Longji ordered the release of Cao Tianjiao, Princess Taiping and others, who had been arrested. Jufenglong Silver continued to be unimpeded in Datang, but Jufenglong Silver should pay 10 million yuan to the imperial court every year.

When Cui Geng and Cao Yuechan got married, Cao Tianjiao had no reason to follow his daughter to his son-in-law's house. Therefore, he was also captured by Li Longji as a prisoner.

Fortunately, Li Longji was still counting on Cao Yuechan to surrender, so he didn't embarrass Cao Tianjiao, let alone cut off his head.

……

……

In the past few days, Cui Geng and others began to prepare to leave Beijing, and Li Longji also withdrew the army besieging Princess Taiping's mansion, but only sent a small number of people to monitor the movements of Cui Geng and others.

Inside the study.

Yang Xuanyan walked in very lightly and said happily: "Father-in-law, the people of Chang'an outside all think of you." ”

Cui Geng sighed lightly and said, "I let them avoid a major military disaster, of course they have to think of me." What's so strange about this? ”

"It's not that simple." Yang Xuanyan said, "The people outside say that Li Longji killed your henchmen and relatives and killed your relatives, you can let go of this grudge for the sake of the common people in the world, so merciful, you are like a saint." ”

"Saints? I'm a saint, he's a big-headed ghost! Cui Geng said angrily: "Of course I want to avenge Zang Xilie, Su Li, and Su Youtian, but Cao Tianjiao and Princess Taiping are still in the hands of others." Why do you have to take care of the living first, right? Besides, I just want to take revenge desperately, and I can't beat others, Li Longji has 80,000 people, and we have 10,000 people, how can this battle be fought? ”

Yang Xuanyan said cautiously: "So, you just can't take revenge now, not that you don't want to take revenge, and when you have a chance in the future...... Huh! ”

As he spoke, he made a decapitation gesture.

Cui Geng said: "That's nature. Blood debts can only be paid with blood, and this matter cannot be left as it is. That's right...... What are the rumors outside? ”

"Uh...... It is rumored that you have the talent of heaven and earth, and the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods. How many days earlier, even if it is today's thing. Therefore, Zhou Lizhen, who was suspected of murdering the Empress Dowager Dou, was sent as the governor of Guangzhou. If someone else is now the governor, and he is ordered by Li Longji to cause some damage to you, then it will be troublesome. ”

"Isn't that?" Cui Geng said: "If I really have that ability, as for being so embarrassed by Li Longji?" Even his confidants died in battle. ”

"What about Zhou Lizhen?"

"It's my luck, it's pure coincidence."

"Okay." Yang Xuanyan pouted and said, "There are still some words, which are not so good." Some people say that you are a big fool if you exchange Hebei, Shandong Erdao and Andong Metropolitan Protectorate for Lingnan Dao. ”

Cui Geng sneered at this even more, and said: "If I can keep Hebei, Shandong Erdao and Andong Protectorate, of course I won't change it, but the problem is that Li Chongfu is dead, and I can't keep it." Even if it is changed to Lingnan Road now. also has to use Li Dan's name. ”

Yang Xuanyan said a little unconvinced: "Then it's good to change to other ways, why do you have to choose Lingnan Road?" I've heard...... Heard...... There was a plague everywhere, and after he went, he died. ”

Cui Geng said: "Nonsense! I'm from Wurong County, Lingnan Province, why didn't I die? ”

"Even if there is no plague, then Lingnan Province is a place where exiles stay, so that's right, right? The place was a little poorer, too. ”

Yang Xuanyan's words scratched Cui Geng's itch.

He closed the books on the table and said, "I won't let you scream in vain, I'll teach you a few good things today." ”

Yang Xuanyan blessed his soul, bowed slightly, and said, "Obey the teachings of my father-in-law." ”

"Do you know what makes the most money?"

"I know that. Official! Yang Xuanyan said as if he was meritorious: "Lu Buweijia, a native of Puyang, was in Handan, and when he saw Qin Proton's alien person, he returned to his father and said: "How many times is the benefit of plowing the field?" He said, "Ten times." "How many times does Jewel win?" He said, "A hundredfold." "How many times does the lord of the country win?" He said: "Countless. "We can't be a king, we can only be officials."

"Confused!"

Cui Geng gave Yang Xuanyan a violent shudder, and said, "Now Lingnan Dao, we are the monarch, what kind of monarch do we have." As for what he said about being an official and not being corrupt and taking bribes, where did he get his wealth? Tell you, the easiest way to get rich is to do business. In business, sea trade is the most profitable. Now Datang has a total of four major ports, namely Quanzhou, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou. Of these four states, two are on Lingnan Road. ”

Yang Xuanyan was skeptical and said, "Really fake? Can Haimao really make a fortune? ”

"You put the word "?" and tell you that the interests of sea trade are greater. For example...... Have you ever eaten pepper? ”

"I didn't eat much. It's too expensive, it's worth more than gold. ”

Cui Geng said: "Isn't this the end?" Pepper is also grown in the native area, and the price in the place of origin is about the same as ordinary grain. However, when pepper is transported to Datang, the price is higher than gold, and the profit is more than 100 times? In addition, the high-quality silk and porcelain of our Datang Dynasty were shipped to the West, and they were also more expensive than gold. Tell me, sea trade doesn't make money, what makes money? ”

"That's right!"

Yang Xuanyan didn't listen to anything else, so he listened to the pepper and enjoyed it, and his eyes lit up and said: "This pepper also grows in the ground, tell me...... Isn't this equivalent to gold growing everywhere overseas? ”

"Uh...... It's not impossible for you to convert it like this. ”

"That's great! Who said you were stupid, father-in-law? Obviously, it is the land of gold, so you have to pretend to understand it. The boy will settle accounts with them...... Ah, no, it's reasonable! ”

As he spoke, Yang Xuanyan turned around excitedly and ran out.

Cui Geng was in the room, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. That's why Yang Xuanyan is so arrogant and doesn't think about anything else.

After all, Yang Xuanyan is still a child, and the reasons Cui Geng told him are actually not very profound.

The fundamental reason why Cui Gengxuan Lingnan Province and Li Longji exchanged was that Li Longji was more ruthless than him. Li Longji can turn the table for the sake of the emperor's hegemony and make the war and disasters linked, and he can't do it without caring about the lives and deaths of the people. Therefore, no matter how he negotiates, he will suffer in the end.

In this case, we can only take advantage of information asymmetry and choose a not too bad ending.

From Shandong and Hebei Erdao to Lingnan Dao, there is absolutely no way to take advantage of it, but there is just a chance to turn the situation back.

Su Li, Su Youtian, and Zang Xilie's revenge must be avenged, and the grievances between himself and Li Longji will be settled.

It's easy to say, but how easy is it to do?

For example, the most difficult thing at the moment is population. Why did the imperial court keep exiling prisoners in Lingnan Province? Isn't it because there is a shortage of people in Lingnan Road?

However, contrary to Cui Geng's expectations, Xiang fell asleep and met the pillow. Yang Xuanyan, a child, partially solved this problem for him.
