Chapter 477: Currency issues that have been shelved

The next discussion seemed a little easier. With Shangwen mediating between the two representatives. Many problems were easily solved.

On the issue of compensation, Zhao Guo's compensation request was reduced to 75,000 gold. The compensation will be paid in installments within five years. Zhao Guo's compensation is already considered high. Because Zhao State was the initiator of the war, but the incentive was in the State of Yan, and it was for this reason. The compensation was reduced from the original 500,000 gold to 50,000, and this figure rose to 75,000 gold only because of Yan Guo.

Yan Guo's demand for compensation is huge. The total is 300,000 gold. This 300,000 gold is not all gold payment, only Qin Guo can come up with so much gold at present. The golden ratio of payment is about half. The remaining half will be paid in kind. This includes food and labor. Mainly build roads. If necessary, troops should be sent to help Yan State attack Qi State.

This one will fundamentally break the current Zhao Qi alliance. So as to help the Qin State disintegrate one of the largest anti-Qin alliances. So that the six countries could not organize coalition forces against Qin. The payment period of 300,000 gold is slightly longer. Zhao Guo will complete the payment within six years.

The armistice line between the two countries has also returned to its pre-war position. The premise is that the State of Zhao needs to voluntarily help the State of Yan occupy the three cities of the State of Qi for exchange. Li Mu agreed. But it must be delivered to the city first. Yan Guo was not at ease. On the grounds of seizure of loans, Qin State helped Zhao Guo obtain the city. Yan Guo only agreed.

In addition to reaching an armistice agreement, the two countries also agreed to send a special envoy to South Korea. this means. South Korea's legal status, that is, Han Shu's queen status, has been recognized by the outside world. The two countries did not want to entangle the South Korean issue for too long. Sending a special envoy is just a convenient act. But for Han Shu. Significant. In other words, in addition to the reliable ally of Qin, she will be recognized by Zhao and Yan. such. Other countries will also send special envoys accordingly. This makes her very happy.

Thus, the second covenant was passed.

At this time, it was late at night, and from mid-morning, there were only four breaks in the middle. At other times, the four countries are conducting detailed consultations and negotiations. Negotiation is an extremely physical and mental activity. Even generals like Li Mu felt a little overwhelmed.

When the three of them walked out of the palace, they were still besieged by reporters who had been waiting outside. Shang Wenyi made significant progress in the negotiations. But need to rest. Later, reporters will be given a special time to accept the interview. Then he left quickly and returned to the Qin Embassy.

The next day, there were no negotiations. Because all parties are tired. However, Shang Wen discussed with Li Mu with great interest. The main reason is to reach the "Qin-Zhao Reconciliation Treaty". It is obvious that Shangwen's sincerity impressed the other party. The treaty was signed and passed in one day of negotiations.

First of all, Qin Guo took the initiative to ask for compensation. Qin Guo will pay Zhao Guo a payment of about 200,000 gold. However, half of the payment requirements will be paid in the form of banknotes. Shangwen's reason was that Qin State could not give such a large amount of gold in a short time, so he paid the other party with one hundred thousand gold notes. Zhao Guo urgently needs funds in China. Therefore, I agreed. But this is a time bomb. Because once they are exchanged with paper money, then these paper money will be circulated to a large extent in Zhao's market. This will disrupt Zhao's currency order.

Second, Qin took the initiative to request Zhao Guo to send relevant students to study in Qin. Help the other party cultivate relevant talents. The impact of talent is even more far-reaching, because the two countries will be very different. This difference will induce the tendency of talents.

Finally, the State of Qin allowed the establishment of a colony of the State of Zhao in addition to the newly established states of the State of Qin. Shangwen is not afraid of Zhao Guo's expansion, because the only reliance between the two is land transportation, and there will be no other dependence. At the same time, a large piece of Qin Guoxin established a state in the middle. The designated area will be between Mobei and Lake Baikal today. In fact, Li Mu didn't know the situation in Mobei. The popularity of geography is far from reaching the level of human cognition.

Shangwen also sent an order to Shangdang County, the site of the Changping Battle. Shangwen decided to apologize publicly and acknowledged all that Qin had done. Shangwen also expressed to King Qin, hoping to get the approval of King Qin. Because it helps to improve the image of Qin among the six countries. At the same time, it is necessary to resolve the hatred of Qin and Zhao. Shang Wen did not want to cause unnecessary adverse effects on the Qin State during the reunification process.

By this time, the meeting was basically in its final stage. Of the four countries, Qin paid the most, but they all opened the door to trade. Especially Zhao Guo. The two countries have become more friendly.

Shangwen plans to launch a charge at the last moment. Want to completely solve the currency problem. In fact, at this time, it is most suitable for Yingyu to participate. But I don't know why. Shangwen frequently sent out letters, but couldn't get Yingyu's reply. Shangwen believes that Yingyu is still immersed in grief. So I had to force myself into battle.

"Because of the development of trade between countries. I hope that countries can use Qin's banknotes as the unit of settlement to some extent. For example, how many half of Qin's currency can be exchanged for Zhao's knife coins and so on." Shang Wen's topic one turn on. It was immediately opposed by Han Shu.

"My Prime Minister, the widow hopes that this topic will be settled for a while. After all, paper money is still unacceptable to everyone." Han Shu said directly. Shang Wen was interrupted by Han Shu before he finished speaking. At the same time, the other two also nodded in agreement. Obviously Shangwen's proposal could not be passed. Can't stand his heels either.

In fact, Shangwen wants to use the advantages of paper money to control the currency issuance rights of various countries. But at this time, it is obviously a bit premature to exchange paper currency for various countries' currencies. Because countries have not yet reached the currency shortage situation.

Qin State is the only country that uses banknotes at this stage. Other countries are still using metal currencies. Although cumbersome, their kings hoped that their power to issue currency would be deprived of Qin's banknotes. Especially in South Korea, when Shang Wen proposed the banknote plan, Han Shu had clearly rejected the other party's request. This is impossible. It is absolutely impossible to agree.

In this way, the currency issue was put on hold by the meeting. But Shang Wen believes that this will take some time. It is necessary for the State of Qin to exert its status as an economic power. Let the currency issue return to the negotiating table. At that time, the State of Qin will have absolutely enough initiative.

Subsequently, countries initialed a series of treaties reached. The treaty is then forwarded to the kings of various countries for final ratification. Finally, it can be declared effective.
