Diplomatic negotiations are actually very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Human spirit is limited. Games and compromises between the two sides take time. Whenever it involves their own interests, both sides will not give in.

At this time, the officials of the Song Dynasty discovered that they had underestimated these barbarians and descendants of these Turks before. It turned out that the Seljuks were as full of political wisdom and as smart as them.

After fierce discussions between the two sides, Faisal and the City Lord's Mansion gave the most comfortable care, and the people who quarreled with each other for the price of a porcelain, even used sarcasm to send the most delicious food and the most delicious juice.

In order to allow this group of people to be supplemented in a timely and effective manner when they run out of energy, in fact, he also received the kindness of officials on both sides, and he was satisfied with Faisal and praised the actions of the City Lord's Mansion.

Faisal knew that he would not get any benefits in the talks between the two sides, otherwise the status of the city lord's mansion would change and the entire family would be implicated.

The debate between the two sides was not over yet, at least in Faisal's opinion, was far from over. After all, the exchange between the emperors of the two countries was still over, and the debate between officials below could not end.

Politics is continuity. When Zhao Zhen and Tugluk debate how to better benefit relations with the two countries, the officials below naturally have to argue, and for a little profit, they have to argue from morning to night.

But in Cai Boyi's opinion, such a debate is necessary, because the price of a blue and white porcelain is set here, and countless blue and white porcelain will be sold to the Seljuk people at this price. By the same token, the price of a piece of plate armor will be set, and countless plate armor will be shipped to Seljuk at the same price in the future. The profits are not the few guan in front of you, but more than 100,000 guan, or even millions of guan!

Before the talks, he harshly explained to the officials of the Three Divisions he brought to him that they are not doing things for the Three Divisions, but fighting for the Song Dynasty, not fighting for the court, but fighting for the millions of people in the Song Dynasty.

Every time they set the price of an item, it will affect the livelihoods of countless people, the income of countless families, and the hope of countless children!

One word of their words will affect everyone in the Song Dynasty! They have to be careful and not give in. This meeting is like going to the battlefield. Although they are not allowed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and fight to the death with these Seljuk officials, they have to be strong and not let others take advantage of the situation!

The sense of responsibility and mission instantly filled the chests of these officials of the Three Divisions. For the first time, they discovered that they did not only represent the Three Divisions, but also represent the entire Song Dynasty and the interests of every citizen of the Song Dynasty.

What is this? This is the ultimate ideal of the scholar-officials, an opportunity to realize their own values ​​and ambitions and be famous in history. After these people return to the Song Dynasty, each of them will be recorded and left in history, and become an existence remembered by future generations.

At this time, they gave in, or were taken advantage of by the Seljuks, and their backbone would be poked after returning to the court. Once they mentioned the first meeting with the Song Dynasty, they would be despised by future generations.

But once they compete for the interests of the Song Dynasty and gain enough benefits for the Song Dynasty, they will be welcomed like a triumphant general after the Return Dynasty. The people will be full of gratitude when they hold this talk, and future generations will praise their behavior.

So whenever these three officials returned to the house arranged by the city lord's mansion tiredly, they would try to supplement food, sit together to discuss countermeasures, and sleep early and rest.

Early the next morning, they would once again fight with Seljuk's officials with energy, and once again make progress and never give in. This would not only surprise Seljuk's officials but also make Tugluk's jealous eyes splatter.

What are officials? They are important means for a dynasty to manage the country. The pros and cons of officials and their intelligence also determine the stability of the dynasty's rule.

The Seljuk Empire was huge, so the number of officials needed was huge, but Tugluk, who was full of confidence on the battlefield, was helpless about politics.

Seljuk also had a considerable number of elites. They participated in the management of the daily empire and had many effective means to control the country. At the beginning, Tugluk was very satisfied, but with the expansion of the crusades and the expansion of trade on the Silk Road, the country's area became larger and larger, and many other problems would float around their desks like snowflakes.

He found that the politics of the Eastern Song Empire seemed to be something they were born with. Every official was full of political wisdom in state management, and was willing to exhaust his last bit of strength for the sake of the country.

With Zhao Zhen outside the window, quietly watching the officials of the two countries discussing in the room. Soon Tugluk saw the difference between the officials of the Song Dynasty. They would not use straightforward strategies to obtain benefits, but often used some small compromises to exchange for more huge benefits. These compromises were completely insignificant in Tugluk's eyes.

But Seljuk officials were quickly surrounded. If they clarified the final relationship and interests, they might decisively reject the proposals of the Song officials, but now they are deeply trapped in it without knowing it.

"I didn't expect that your officials in the Song Dynasty had such amazing talents. Can they always find a way out and vitality in adversity?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head: "It's not all, but their wisdom cannot be underestimated. This is also the ability they should have. I just let them play it out."

Tugluk looked at Zhao Zhen with his eyes shiny, saying, "How did you get these officials to this extent today?"

Zhao Zhen shrugged: "This is the secret of the Song people, but I can tell you that these people have passed professional learning, training for the political party, and political games in the court, and finally they can steadily exert their own learning."

Tugluke was a little stunned, and Zhao Zhen said again: "Do you know how long these officials have been studying?"

Tugluk shook his head full of expectations and confusion. Zhao Zhen stretched out a finger and said, "Everyone has spent more than ten years studying, spent another ten years practicing the knowledge they have learned, and finally spent a few years to hone their experience, so that they can finally have today's ability and future achievements."

Tugluk's face shook slightly, which means that it took nearly twenty-five years for an official from the Song Dynasty to grow up. Such a time cost was too high for the Seljuk Dynasty.

But Zhao Zhen's next words surprised him even more: "Almost all these people come from civilian homes, and none of them are from nobles."
