Divide?
That's a good idea.
Wen Yunxi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. This condition was not impossible to negotiate.
"Okay, first tell me how to divide it equally." Wen Yunxi sat back down again and looked at Xuan Lin leisurely.
Sang Fu's power refers to the power he had as an envoy. Lanzhou had a special situation and had its own set of management rules, which was equivalent to internal autonomy and involved all aspects of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. As for the power, it is the Zhanyue clan under his control and his allies.
Xuan Lin did not intend to beat around the bush and said directly: "I will take over all the powers of the Xuanfu Division, but on this basis I will add the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce, and at the same time, add a Department of Supervision. Your people can occupy [-]% of the seats."
Wen Yunxi nodded and motioned for Xuan Lin to continue.
The functions and powers of this supervisory department can be discussed in detail later. It can be like a censor or a secret service agency. It depends on how the two people discuss it.
Seeing that Wen Yunxi's mood didn't fluctuate much, Xuan Lin felt a little relieved. This was a rare opportunity for him. This time Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu were fighting. No matter which side won, as long as they didn't end up losing both sides, it would be a loss for him. It is extremely disadvantageous, so the best option is to form an alliance with one of them first in exchange for the power you need.
He actually disagreed with Wen Yunxi's plan to directly meet Sang Fu in battle. Judging from the current situation, Wen Yunxi did win the hearts of the people and might even get the support of some Zhanyue people, but Sang Fu's hand There are so many powerful soldiers in there, and ordinary people cannot compete with her current forces. Even if she wins, it will be extremely tragic, and with the forces in his hand, he may not be able to gain much upper hand.
Choosing Sangfu was different. He didn't have to pay much, and he could negotiate a good price with Sangfu.
Even so, he prefers Wen Yunxi in his heart. Putting aside those unclear emotions, Wen Yunxi is also a better ally because she has a bottom line and a conscience and keeps her promises, while Sang Fu just On the contrary, how could someone who could do those things still keep his word? Even if he kept his word this time, he might be stabbed in the back at any time, so he had to be wary of him at all times.
When Wen Yunxi saw Xuan Lin looking at him without speaking, he smiled and asked, "Where are the others?"
Xuan Lin smiled softly: "The Zhanyue and Liyu tribes belong to me."
Although he was dazzled by his smile, Wen Yunxi still refused outright, "The Zhanyue tribe belongs to me. The five tribes in Linhai, the Lixi tribe and the Baijiao tribe also belong to me. You can take the rest." .”
"You want to be in the Xi clan?" Xuan Lin was a little surprised.
He was not surprised that Wen Yunxi wanted to join the Zhanyue Clan. After all, the Zhanyue Clan was the largest clan in Lanzhou. Among her disciples was Yi Hongfei, so it would be easier for her to manage him if he took him in.
But the Xi tribe?
"If the information in the Qingzhu Weekly Report is correct, there are not many remaining members of the Lixi Clan, and most of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled. Are you sure you don't want to switch to the Xinchao Clan?"
Wen Yunxi raised his lips and raised his head slightly, "Everyone has their own uniqueness. Even if they seem weak, I can make them develop."
As soon as she learned about the situation of the Lixi clan, she made plans for the future and made arrangements. She had no choice but to deal with Sangfu and carry them out.
Xuan Lin didn't want to join the Xi clan. What he said just now was just a test. Seeing Wen Yunxi's firm attitude, he didn't say much on this matter.
"Is there any more?" Wen Yunxi asked.
Xuan Lin continued: "The Zhanyue tribe can give it to you, but each tribe must allocate [-]% of its troops to rebuild the Lanhu Army. All expenses of this army will be borne by the Xuanfu Division, and the command rights are shared between you and me." Wen Yunxi He already has the strong military force of the Shuiyi tribe, and if he adds the Zhanyue tribe, it will be even stronger. If he is not restrained by military strength, he, the vassal king, will still be an empty shell.
"Okay." Even if Xuan Lin didn't mention it, she would add later that in order to monopolize power, Sang Fu used all the Zhanyue people in the military and political affairs. This is unreasonable. To develop Lanzhou, the barriers between the clans must be broken. Barriers and a mixture of military and political forces are the quickest solutions.
Xuan Lin was quite surprised by Wen Yunxi's attitude. He knew that Wen Yunxi's desire for power was not strong, but he did not expect that she would give away the power she had obtained.
When Wen Yunxi saw that Xuan Lin did not continue, he added: "In addition to the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce, I have to add a Cultural and Propaganda Department."
"The Propaganda Department? It's not that we can't add them, but my people need to account for [-]%." He has also seen the influence of Qingzhu Weekly. His current dilemma is also because of this newspaper, so he must be cautious.
Wen Yunxi saw Xuan Lin's thoughts and smiled and didn't care. The Cultural and Propaganda Department was different from other places. If Xuan Lin didn't place anyone who could compare to Su Qiao, no matter how many people he placed there, it would be in vain.
The two further refined the conditions they had proposed before. Xuan Lin took out a piece of rice paper and wrote the contents carefully, then simply signed his name and stamped his official seal.
Wen Yunxi picked it up and looked at it carefully. After sighing that the words were very beautiful, she also signed her name. She didn't bring her personal seal, so she bit her finger and made a fingerprint.
Seeing Wen Yunxi turn around and walk towards the window, Xuan Lin quickly took off his cloak and handed it over, "It's cold."
After speaking, he didn't even look at Wen Yunxi's expression. He turned around and walked towards the desk. He didn't look back until he heard the sound of the window being closed.
Wen Yunxi left, taking his cloak with him.
Manager Liu and Commander Fang waited outside for half an hour before Xuan Lin called him back into the meeting hall. As soon as they entered, they noticed the clues. Xuan Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the empty snack plate in a daze.
"Prince? Who is this distinguished guest?" Manager Liu actually asked knowingly. He felt that the person who could make Xuan Lin look like this was none other than Wen Yunxi.
Xuan Lin didn't intend to hide it from them. After waving for them to sit down, he took out the rice paper from the brocade box and handed it to them.
Commander Fang's eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He lowered his head and saw that, sure enough, his prince had signed a contract with Wen Yunxi within half an hour, and it even had the prince's official seal on it.
Compared to the annoyed Commander Fang, Manager Liu was overjoyed. After carefully reading the terms, he even narrowed his eyes with laughter.
This is only right. Seeing how sincere Wen Yunxi is, he directly shares the power with the prince, and even only has two ports. It is really kind.
While he was praising Wen Yunxi in his mind, he heard Commander Fang doubting: "Your Majesty, this may be a scam."
"What are you cheating on? Doctor Wen has always been kind and trustworthy. Since she promised in person and signed it, she will definitely not break her promise." Manager Liu glared at Commander Fang, as if he would teach him how to behave if he said something unpleasant.
"What has deceived you? Wen Yunxi obviously has great intentions. Will she be willing to give up half of her power? Don't be stupid!"
During the time when he was captured by Shu Yun, he thought about it carefully and found that from the moment he met Wen Yunxi, she had been deliberately guiding him. It was obvious that she was using the prince as a stepping stone. Now she agreed to this condition, saying that she had no back-up plan. He wouldn't even believe it.
Manager Liu did not argue with him. If he had not promised Concubine Yan and was worried about Xuan Lin, he would have followed Wen Yunxi just like Zhang Ling.
