Gyeongo's officials were like ants on a hot pan, unable to come up with an effective plan.
Jingguo's officials, on the other hand, were unprecedentedly united. They started to deal with various government affairs in an orderly manner. They worked through the night, hoping to complete the backlog of government affairs.
During this wave of reforms, all the technological innovations went very smoothly. For example, the reforms of the farmers and the workers. Even the officials who did not understand the farmers and workers fully cooperated. This was because technological innovations could bring about obvious benefits and help their own political achievements.
However, the political and social reforms touched the comfort zone of most people.
Previously, even with the support of the Punishment Hall, many officials only agreed on the surface. This was because many people did not understand the reforms and were unwilling to do so. They thought that they might fail, so they were conflicted.
However, now that Fang Yun had established his own Divine Path, it was like a Half-saint helping Jingguo reform. No one doubted that this change was not good.
All doubts were suppressed, and Fang Yun no longer had any worries.
After another night, Jingguo sent a letter to Gyeongo, requesting that Gyeongo immediately pay compensation. If it was not paid on time, Gyeongo would be punished further.
Gyeongo's imperial court was in a panic. The Qing Emperor hurriedly called for a court meeting to discuss countermeasures.
In Gyeongo, one-third of the officials majored in miscellaneous studies, and one-third of the officials majored in miscellaneous studies.
This caused Gyeongo's court meeting to be an embarrassing scene for everyone.
The throne room was empty, and less than half of the officials were present.
When the Qing Emperor saw this scene, he was so angry that he was speechless for a long time.
The imperfection of the Divine Path and the establishment of the Political Path had led to heavy casualties among the scholars of the High Literature School. Those who were still alive were recuperating from their injuries. There were also rumors that the Saint of Heaven had been forced to treat them personally. Otherwise, the Great Scholars and Great Scholars would have no hope of recovering.
Some Gyeongo scholars who majored in miscellaneous studies had already given up on it and were preparing to minor in the Political Path, which was related to miscellaneous studies.
There were rumors all over the human race that miscellaneous studies were about to be swallowed up by the Political Path. The sooner the Political Path was fixed, the better.
Before noon, Jingguo's foreign affairs department received Gyeongo's letter.
Gyeongo said that they would immediately send the compensation to Jingguo. They also sent Gyeongo officials, led by Pang Jue, to Jingguo for negotiations that night.
Jingguo's officials had already made sufficient preparations. there were even officials who had submitted letters to the Cabinet to submit various sanctions against Gyeongo. various proposals.
If victory was only victory, then it could only be considered as not a failure. Only by plundering the benefits after victory could it be considered a true victory.
. Jingguo's officials.. Jingguo to Jingguo's officials to the Cabinet's meeting with the Political Path of the Political Path.
This was the place where the people from the School of Miscellany had negotiated with Fang Yun and the others.
. were 'Jingo Jingo' Gguo........... a Jingo Jingo.
The Gyeongo officials forced a smile, but the Jingguo officials were expressionless.
Fang Yun took out his official seal and glanced at the Gyeongo officials. "Bensei's time is limited. If we can't reach an agreement before dawn, you don't have to come again."
All the Gyeongo officials felt their hearts skip a beat. They knew that Fang Yun was difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect him to be this difficult. Gyeongo's original plan was to negotiate slowly and find Jingguo's bottom line. But now, their plan had failed.
Unfortunately, all the Gyeongo officials in charge of foreign affairs had resigned.
What was even more unfortunate was that in Fang Yun's negotiating team, there were two officials from the school of Vertical and Horizontal who had been officials of the Kingdom of Qing just yesterday. They were the Minister of the Honglu Temple and the Vice-Minister of the Kingdom of Qing. They were usually the first and second in charge of foreign affairs.
From the beginning, everyone in Gyeongo's negotiation team felt very guilty, including Pang Jue, who had volunteered.
Pang Jue coughed and smiled apologetically. "Fang Xusheng, we can't be too careless about this. I'm sick, so I hope you can give me a few more days."
"When I was sick, your Zajia didn't let me off either," Fang Yun said righteously.
The Gyeongo officials almost rolled their eyes. Fang Yun was too shameless. Now, the entire human race knew that Fang Yun was faking his illness.
Pang Jue smiled bitterly. "Since Fang Xusheng is in a hurry, please state your conditions."
Fang Yun tilted his head slightly and glanced at the Left Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, who used to be Gyeongo's Honglu Temple Minister and Zongheng's scholar, Wang Han.
Wang Han understood tacitly. He coughed lightly and said, "Since Elder Pang is straightforward, then I, Jing Guo, will also be straightforward."
As he spoke, Wang Han took out a stack of documents.
The Gyeongo officials were furious. This Jingguo official was too unscrupulous. He had already prepared the conditions and read them out in front of everyone. He didn't take Gyeongo seriously at all.
Wang Han ignored his former colleagues and read the new Jingguo treaty that Fang Yun had revised.
The Gyeongo officials became angrier and angrier as they listened. They were so angry that they almost slammed the table and stood up.
Jingguo's conditions were too harsh.
Jingguo wanted Gyeongo to cede Haizhou, Lingzhou, and Yongzhou, as well as the prefectures on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
All the unfair policies that Gyeongo had made against Jingguo were abolished. For the next 100 years, Jingguo's goods could be sold freely in Gyeongo. Gyeongo was not allowed to impose any taxes on Jingguo's goods.
Jingguo's educational institutions such as the Fang Academy and the Fang Library were allowed to set up in Gyeongo without any obstruction.
Jingguo was allowed to recruit workers from Gyeongo without any restrictions.
Gyeongo prohibited any speech that was hostile to Jingguo and actively cooperated with Jingguo to crack down on anti-Jingguo people.
Jingguo scholars who entered Gyeongo would be treated better than citizens. Gyeongo had no right to arrest or interrogate Jingguo scholars.
This treaty, which had yet to be named, was long and full of words, and detailed the various clauses.
At first, the Gyeongo officials were furious. However, they were completely numb by the end and allowed Wang Han to read it.
After Wang Han finished reading, the meeting room was silent.
"Bring the melons and fruits," Fang Yundao said.
A few Gyeongo officials instinctively covered their noses.
This time, there was no smelly fruit. All the fruits were normal fruits.
Fang Yun took a piece of seedless watermelon and ate it slowly. He put the rind aside and looked at the Gyeongo officials.
"Everyone, when will we sign the new treaty?"
The Gyeongo officials glared at Fang Yun but did not dare to refuse.
Pang Jue said helplessly, "Fang Xusheng, this treaty is too harsh. If the Old Man returns with this treaty, he will be cursed by Gyeongo for a thousand years. Haizhou has the best coast in the entire human race. If you cede Haizhou, Gyeongo will lose all its ports to the sea. Not only that, but you also want to take over all the prefectures along the Yangtze River. This is equivalent to cutting off Gyeongo's largest waterway and sea route. Gyeongo cannot accept this. "
"Does Gyeongo still have any waterways or sea routes to speak of?" Fang Yun retorted.
Gyeongo officials were speechless.
Ever since the Dragons banned the sea and the Water Temple banned water, Gyeongo had lost its waterways and fishing industries. It was completely replaced by the nearby countries.
