Of course, Yang Rui's unclear attitude did not mean that he was being vague. He had a complete way to deal with Liu Biao.
Yang Rui was not clear about Liu Biao's strength, but he did not make any promises. As for the gifts that Liu Biao sent over, Yang Rui accepted them all. Currently, Yang Rui did not have any plans to use force against Liu Biao. Now was not the time.
Thus, Yang Rui accepted the gifts with a clear conscience. However, he did not promise to keep the other party safe for too long.
Gifts and the like were just small fries. What Yang Rui valued was the wealth of the entire Jingzhou. He had long planned to plunder it economically first.
In this regard, Yang Rui also left a task for Cheng Yu, who was in charge of the negotiations. He wanted to plunder Jingzhou's money and open up the East Sea's gold coin issuing quota.
Just like the economic invasion in the real world, Yang Rui could make use of unequal supply and marketing relationships, strategic resources, and currency exchange ratios to plunder the economic aspects of other powers.
On this point, Liu Biao's attitude was completely within Yang Rui's expectations. In fact, it was very similar to the economic war in the real world. Whoever had the advantage in resources, products and technology would have the initiative in trade.
Liu Biao's diplomatic mission originally needed Yang Rui's help. This was a political demand. Although Jingzhou's resources were abundant, there was still a demand for some of their core products.
Thus, Liu Biao's diplomatic mission did not resist Cheng Yu's' trade negotiation '. In fact, Liu Biao's forces were like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's forces. They secretly found a trade agent and secretly entered the Commerce Alliance to conduct trade fairs.
Because of this, when Cheng Yu represented Yang Rui to ask Jingzhou to purchase and exchange 10 billion East China Sea gold, the other party was very surprised at the amount. They did not resist the purchase of East China Sea gold.
Liu Biao and the diplomatic mission could not decide on the amount of East China Sea gold to be exchanged. However, after two days of negotiations, the diplomatic mission repeatedly expressed their willingness to purchase and exchange East China Sea gold.
After sending a lot of gifts, the members of the diplomatic mission hurriedly returned to Jingzhou. They wanted Liu Biao to give a reply on the exchange of East China Sea gold as soon as possible.
Even if Yang Rui did not give any promises of long-term harmony, at least in the eyes of Liu Biao's diplomatic mission, this peace negotiation was relatively successful.
First of all, King Dong Hai's forces welcomed the appearance of the emissary group. Although King Dong Hai himself did not show up, all the arrangements and hospitality should have been made by him.
Second, the 'convenience' of the exchange of East China Sea gold, it was symbolic.. In the eyes of the diplomatic mission, this could even be seen as an important step in normalizing the relationship between the two sides.
At the very least, King of Dong Hai's move separated the forces of Jingzhou from the hostile forces such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the Northwest Warlords.
It was because of this that Liu Biao's emissary group did not want to waste any time. They returned to Jingzhou at twice the speed they used to travel. They brought the news of the negotiations to Liu Biao so that he could personally decide on the exchange of East Sea currency.
Perhaps the understanding of economic and trade in the game world was not deep enough. After only two days of returning to Jingzhou, Liu Biao's diplomatic mission once again set foot on Luoyang's Imperial City.
This time, the diplomatic mission traveled lightly. Within Jingzhou, they completely used the teleportation method until they reached the edge of Nanyang County. Only then did they truly set foot on the road to Luoyang's Imperial City.
The entire journey took less than three or four days. Liu Biao's diplomatic mission once again arrived at Luoyang's Imperial City. This time, the diplomatic mission brought 3 billion East China Sea gold to exchange and purchase orders.
This time, Yang Rui issued a total of 10 billion East China Sea gold. Liu Biao directly took away 3 billion East China Sea gold in one negotiation. This showed how rich Liu Biao's territory was in Jingzhou.
This number greatly exceeded Yang Rui's expectations. On one hand, Yang Rui did not estimate the wealth of Liu Biao's territory in Jingzhou. On the other hand, Yang Rui did not expect Liu Biao to so readily exchange so many East China Sea gold.
The importance of economic and trade in the game world was still not well understood. This was especially true for the NPC community. Even the warlords did not pay much attention to the importance of trade. At least, that was what it seemed on the surface.
On the other hand, the players had a better understanding. At the very least, the many wars in the real world had revealed the importance of resources. Whether it was violent disputes or other forms of hegemony, to a large extent, it was a matter of accumulation and foundation.
No matter what, Liu Biao's diplomatic mission brought a large amount of wealth to Yang Rui. According to the current exchange rate, Liu Biao's diplomatic mission paid a total of 48 billion East China Sea gold. At the same time, it also gave Yang Rui more space to distribute.
After the transaction was completed, Xiaohui immediately decided to issue another 5 billion East China Sea gold. While filling up the market, it also continued to gather the wealth of the three civilizations.
Earlier on, Yang Rui and the others had already determined that even if they continued to issue 10 billion East China Sea gold, it would not affect the entire East China Sea gold market. It would cause a large fluctuation in the exchange rate.
If it was not for Chen Xiaonan's reminder, Yang Rui's understanding of the game's economic and financial market would have reached its current level. Who knows how long it would take for Yang Rui to reach this level of understanding.
At this time, Yang Rui finally understood the power of the economic and financial market. In a situation where the market was dominant, it was almost possible to gather a large amount of wealth without shedding a drop of blood.
Of course, in order to achieve this, not only did the economic and financial market need to be dominant, but it was also necessary to cooperate with the system. Thus, it was not something that ordinary people could operate.
Within the three civilizations, the issue of currency, the business alliance, and other matters were left to Xiaohui to communicate. Cheng Yu and the others would do their best to support her.
Liu Biao's faction was only the first faction. Next, Yang Rui planned to use certain methods to make the other Marquises of Shu and the Gangdong Marquises follow the same path. This would require a lot of effort.
Chen Xiaonan was mainly in charge of the economic and financial matters outside the three civilizations. In the middle, Yang Rui would be the main force of communication. However, he mainly relied on Chen Xiaonan to grasp the timing.
