Abaddon heaved a sigh of relief, at least there wasn't much hostility on the surface, and the relationship could still be improved.
Now I have to seize the time to develop in order to be able to meet the challenges in the future, otherwise I am afraid that I will also be in trouble in the future.
He smiled and said, "To celebrate Brother Lin's birthday this time, I brought the best gift from the Great Western Empire. I hope Brother Lin will like it!"
Immediately, he clapped his hands, and the person accompanying him immediately brought his present.
One of the exquisite and tight treasure chests, when opened, immediately burst into light, revealing an incomparably bright light.
"diamond!"
Lin Yi's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help being startled.
Good guy!
This time, Abaddon really spent a lot of money, not to mention the other gifts, just this box of diamonds is priceless.
He took the box and grabbed a handful of diamonds casually. The feeling of a handful of diamonds slipping from his fingers was truly miraculous.
Such local rich friends, the more the better.
He sighed: "Brother Aba gave such a great gift, Lin Yi was really touched, how can I receive so many gifts!"
"Brother Lin is so powerful in the world, if you are not qualified, then no one in the world is qualified!" Abaddon shook his head and said with a faint smile.
This is the strongest overlord in the East today. If these diamonds can be used to befriend him, it will undoubtedly be earned by blood.
In the future, if someone from the far west really comes across the sea, I'd better have someone to take care of me.
Hahaha!
The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed tacitly.
Afterwards, the two exchanged the customs and cultures of the two countries, and also talked about some opinions about the surrounding countries, and then Abaddon left directly.
Looking at his back, Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "Hey, it is said that the people of the Great Western Empire are barbarians. It seems that the rumors are not credible!"
This Abaddon looked like a careless savage, but in fact he was a smart person, and he saw the trap he set for him at a glance.
How could such a person be a barbarian? Rumors are always false.
After Guo Jia had a drink, he said with a light smile, "Abadon is not a fool, after we destroy the Shuangxi Empire, he will be next.
I'm afraid he is very contradictory now, he loves and hates the emperor at the same time! "
The Great West Empire needs allies to fight against the Frost West Empire.
But they don't need such a powerful ally as Great Liang, because this ally will turn into a man-eating tiger at any time and swallow the Great Western Empire together.
The development curve of Great Liang cannot be concealed from anyone, that is, push all the way horizontally, turning the surrounding land into the territory of Great Liang.
This kind of overbearing, with the blessing of destroying the country again and again, made the surrounding countries tremble, and they were full of fear of Great Liang.
Daxi Empire can naturally feel this sense of oppression. If he still blindly cooperates with Great Liang, he will not know how he will die in the future.
In his heart now, he probably hoped that the Shuangxi Empire would be destroyed, but also feared that the Shuangxi Empire would be destroyed, and he would face Great Liang alone, which would definitely be torture.
Really love it and hate it!
Wang Yue on the side couldn't help laughing, and praised: "Speaking of which, he is really willing to part with it. This diamond is priceless in the local area. He actually brought a box of it all at once!"
As an intelligence officer, he naturally knows the products of various places.
Because of its strong hardness, this diamond was regarded as a local sacred object, symbolizing incomparable strength and unbreakable, so it was regarded as a treasure by nobles.
Such a large box is definitely priceless and generous.
"Haha, it's really worth a lot, but it's a pity that I'm doomed to let him down!"
A smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. Logically speaking, he wanted to save face for him. Unfortunately, the intersection between countries is never about saving face.
In the face of national interests, in many cases, you will lose if you lose face.
"The emperor puts the overall situation first, I believe he will understand you in the future." Guo Jia comforted with a wry smile.
He knew in his heart that the emperor was destined to cheat Daxi Empire, so this gift was basically a whore for nothing, and Abaddon would get nothing in the end.
In the face of national interests, the emperor will not bear it!
"Why should he understand?"
A trace of disdain flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he said coldly: "The so-called morality and ethics do not exist in the communication between countries!
If they are all reasonable, why do they need the army? I just raise a group of Yang Xius!
Morality is only for your own people, but you still have to talk about strength with your enemies! "
It is undoubtedly nonsense to talk about morality between countries, and I am afraid that most of the time it is directly mobilized to attack.
The only time I want to reason with you is definitely because I can't beat you, or there are other restraints, otherwise the ghost will talk nonsense to you.
With that little time, isn't it good for me to develop the country's economy?
Forehead!
Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat, he once again saw the domineering side of his Majesty, which is simply extremely cruel.
If Abaddon heard these words, he would probably faint in the toilet from crying.
"Hi Your Majesty!"
Guo Jia was astonished when he heard the words. Although this sounds shameless, it is definitely a wise saying.
The historical development is really like this. Reasonable people will never beat people who talk about strength.
The emperor deserves to be the emperor,
"Okay, stop flattering, take this book and read it! Now that Zhennan is basically calmed down, let the trap move!"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes, casually threw out a book and handed it to Guo Jia, and ordered casually.
He invited so many kings to Great Liang, naturally not only to scare them, but also to fool them.
The key is to prepare for the next step of attacking the Shuangxi Empire, and then there needs to be chaos behind the Shuangxi Empire. This is the essence of it.
With these people leaving, it's time for the forces controlled by Luo Wang to exert their strength!
"I understand!"
Guo Jia nodded, and then opened the "Thick Black Studies" in his hand to read.
From being disapproving at the beginning, he was astonished in the end, and couldn't help muttering: "Your Majesty is really a great talent, he can see through the true meaning of the world at a glance!
The way of thick black, the mystery of thick and black, is really unparalleled in the world! "
It seems outrageous, but it makes sense when you read it, it is simply a divine book.
Lin Yi smiled, looked at Wang Yue on the side, and said: "Ran Min and the others have returned, send someone to welcome them, just to let our guests see what Great Liang is!"
Chapter 743
This time, in addition to inviting the Daxi Empire and the Shuangxi Empire, the surrounding small countries were also invited, and naturally it was not for their little birthday presents.
Great Liang has developed to the present, and has reached the final unification of the East, which is an imminent thing.The existence of these small countries is somewhat an eyesore, so they must be cleaned up.
This invitation was meant to deter them, and it would also be an ultimatum.
Those who obey will prosper, those who oppose will perish!
If they still don't know how to choose, they can only sweep them out before taking action against the Shuangxi Empire.
This has nothing to do with any moral hatred, it's just that they blocked the development of Great Liang, so they can only be destroyed.
Ran Min and the others are masters of victory. They returned to Great Liang with the power of destroying the country, and the evil spirit on their bodies was definitely enough to let them understand what is called Great Liang style.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, His Majesty is really going to start intimidating others again, this trick is really tried and tested.
Previously, the small countries in the southwest were trembling with fear, and finally surrendered directly to Great Liang, but now it is the turn of other countries, the small countries really do not have any sovereignty at all.
It's like a pool of mud, and others can do whatever they want.
"The weak have no right to make demands. They can only obey passively. I hope they can be smarter, otherwise I won't bear it." Lin Yi shook his head and sneered.
He doesn't bother to send troops to bully these small countries, but if they don't know how to do it, then it's no wonder that he is tricky, it can only be said that they have no vision.
It's like when a tiger is preying on a wild deer, and you, a rabbit, come up to it by yourself, isn't that a death.
Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to clean them up, so you don't have to worry too much about it, just leave it to Xu You and the others.
But there was one problem that made him very embarrassed.
Guo Jia naturally discovered this, and couldn't help being curious: "Your Majesty, is there anything else in this world that can make things difficult for you?" Are you kidding me, Your Majesty is omnipotent, okay?
Now I have a face of embarrassment, which I have never seen before.
Lin Yi nodded, and said with a troubled face: "It's not any other problem. This time, Sun Jian and the others brought back nearly [-] million yuan. I'm thinking about how to use it!"
The aristocratic family was blackmailed before, but the money was not used up yet, and the people donated so much again.
Now that there are more than 2 million pens, there is no place for this, which is simply too distressing.
"puff!"
Hearing this sentence, Guo Jia, who was drinking, couldn't help but spit it out. He was shocked by what his emperor said, and there are still people who dislike money.
He said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are the only one in the whole world who can be troubled by too much money!"
Oh oh oh!
We don't have enough, how to get to your old man's place is directly a trouble.
If Li Anlan heard this, he would probably cry to death directly, and then find a tree with a crooked neck to hang it on. You must know that he was almost impoverished from life to death.
Wang Yue didn't find it strange, after all, Daliang had been doing a lot of things recently.
First it annexed the barbarians in the Northern Region, then replaced the Daning Dynasty, the Jackal Kingdom, and the Western Regions, and then extorted a wave of aristocratic families. The accumulated wealth is absolutely terrifying.
If it weren't for the emperor's generosity, the national treasury would be full now.
"cut!"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Naturally, he wasn't doing any Versailles, but was really thinking about where to use it.
This time when the Baqi Kingdom was destroyed, there were more than a dozen nobles who were destroyed alone. Coupled with the wealth of the entire Baqi Kingdom, this time the harvest was quite rich, and it could even be said to be golden mountains and silver seas.
There are more than 2 million in real gold and silver alone, and if you add those rare treasures, it will be more than [-] million.
If such a huge amount of wealth is brought back all at once, if it is left to rust in the treasury, it would be too wasteful and meaningless.
He didn't keep the previous money all the time, and increased investment in various people's livelihoods. He also strengthened education and imperial examinations, as well as various commercial investments.
Even buying resources from the West on a large scale, and then spending almost the same amount of money, and now that such a large sum of money has come in, it is a bit difficult to deal with.
Now the military and the people's livelihood have made a large investment, and science and technology education has also been arranged.
There is also the construction of water conservancy that has just started! ! !
and many more!
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he thought of a good idea.
I have a superb ancient water conservancy engineer in my hand. If I don't make good use of it, it will be a waste.
During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Zhidao could directly and quickly transport materials and troops, and he could also build a few, targeting the four places in the southeast, northwest, and so on, which could reduce transportation costs.
In addition, sea bases can also be built at sea, and enough long-distance ships can be built, which can also cost money.
There is a good saying, if you want to get rich, build roads first!
Although this sentence is a bit too firm, it still has some truth.
If both water and land roads are built, the commerce in the southeast and northwest will also become more developed, and the resale of materials from the north and the south will be realized, which will bring huge wealth.
Anyway, with some spare money in hand, it is completely possible to mobilize the domestic people, let the economy roll up directly, form a strong internal cycle, and complete the overall improvement of the nation.
In this way, ordinary people can also get rich, and instead of losing money, they can get more benefits. This is the best choice.
In the end, it may be possible to improve the welfare of the common people and soldiers, which can be regarded as some explanations for my opponents.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Yue on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Yue, inform Xun Yu and Li Bing, let them study how to spend money, and write a detailed memorial to me!"
"The minister complies with the order!"
The corner of Wang Yue's mouth twitched, and he turned around to find someone. This is probably the most outrageous task.
