Chapter 270: The Unreasonable Yang Official

There were not many negotiators today, only Yang Feng and Li Ge, who was then the chief secretary of the Jiangning Army, and Zai Sang and Wu Keshan on the Horqin side, and there was no one else in the huge tent except the four of them.

After greeting a couple of words, Yang Feng was not polite, and went directly to the topic: "Lord Zaisang, seeing that the harsh winter is coming, we both have a lot to do, so don't go around in any circles, let's open the skylight and say something bright, what do you think?" ”

"Of course it's good." Zai Sang smiled and said: "A few days ago, the old man heard Wu Keshan say that Lord Yang wants to exchange horses with our tribe with food, cloth, tea bricks and other living materials, which is very good, our tribe has many other than livestock, as long as there is food, you can exchange as many livestock as you want." ”

"Lord Jae-san, let me say a word." Yang Feng had to interrupt Zai Sang's words, "You just said the wrong word, we want to exchange war horses that can fight, not horses or ordinary livestock, please don't make a mistake about this." ”

Yang Feng only corrected a sentence on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly scolding his mother, this old guy looked smiling on the surface, just like the old man next door, but there were traps everywhere in his words, and one would catch his way if he was not careful.

Zai Sang, who was interrupted by Yang Feng, was not angry, and still nodded with a smile: "Oh...... yes. You see, this man is very old and has a bad brain, and he accidentally says that the horse is a war horse. ”

"It's okay, we can understand this, the elderly, sometimes it's easy to lose everything." Yang Feng smiled and expressed his understanding, and then said with a change of tone: "Lord Zaisang, do you think this is good, you are also the leader of the tribe, and this official is also the commander of the Jiangning Army, just leave this kind of business to the people below to discuss, we will be responsible for pointing out some things in the general direction, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, that's okay." After a few words of confrontation just now, Zai Sang also knew that the Lord Yang on the other side was not a good stubble, and it was not easy to pick up the leaks in front of him, so it was better to leave the matter to Wu Keshan to talk about, so that once something happened, he would be able to pick up the gaps for him later.

Next, it was Li Ge and Wu Keshan's turn to appear, although both of them smiled and greeted, they could both see the sparks flashing in each other's eyes.

At the beginning of the negotiation, Wu Keshan was obviously not very suitable for this kind of talkative occasion, it was obvious that his smile was relatively stiff, only to see him cough lightly and then said first: "Master Li, I know that your army is very short of war horses, so I want to buy a certain number of war horses from our tribe. Lord Yang also said a few days ago that he wants to buy 20,000 war horses from our tribe, but this is absolutely impossible, and the number of war horses in our tribe is also limited, so it is impossible for us to agree to your request. ”

At this time, Li Ge was no longer the down-and-out official of the Qianhu Office in Jiangdongmen before, with Yang Feng's continuous promotion, his status was also improving, and now he was the master of the Jiangning Army, and he held the material deployment of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire Jiangning Guard, and the whole person became more calm, and after hearing this, he nodded: "Can you tell me, how many war horses can your ministry give us?" ”

Wu Keshan's eyes first glanced at Zai Sang on the side, and after seeing that the other party was just staring at the front without any expression, he slowly stretched out two fingers, "We can only give you two thousand war horses?" ”

"What...... Two thousand? ”

Li Ge was startled at first, and then his face showed irrepressible anger, what are you kidding, Lao Tzu came all the way from Jinzhou to kill all the way just to ask you for two thousand war horses?

"Hehe......" Li Ge smiled instead of anger: "Okay, I finally saw the sincerity of your department." We have worked tirelessly to mobilize the people to come here just for 2,000 war horses? ”

"Well." Wu Keshan coughed lightly before saying: "Master Li, you have to understand, although our Horqin tribe is large, there are indeed not many war horses, even these two thousand horses are still squeezed out by us with great difficulty." Of course, not having this year doesn't mean not next year, I think we can exchange 2,000 horses first, and wait until next year to trade, after all, nothing can be done overnight, do you say? ”

"Is that what you guys ultimately thought?" Li Ge's face finally sank, it seems that Lord Yang is right, these Mongols would never sell their war horses to them so happily.

Looking at Li Ge's gloomy face, Wu Keshan glanced at his Lao Tzu and said stiffly: "Yes, this is our final thought." ”

"Good...... Very good! ”

Li Ge also let out a long sigh: "Since you said so, then let's do business, if you only sell us two thousand war horses, you can also do it, today's war horses are eighty taels of silver per horse in my Ming Dynasty, and the best war horses are one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and you will come to the war horses later, let us evaluate the quality of the war horses, and then we will pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, I believe that the transaction will be completed soon." ”

"This ...... This ......"

Wu Keshan was a little confused, this painting style seems to be a little wrong, isn't the negotiation a battle of wits and courage to fight each other, why don't you bargain with us? I said 2,000 horses, you should bargain for 10,000, and we should fight for half a day? Why did it end like this, and the negotiations weren't talked about like this, right?

In fact, don't talk about Wu Keshan, even Zai Sang is confused, these Ming people are too different from his impression, okay, why don't you play cards according to reason?

At this time, Yang Feng stood up, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Okay, since the negotiation has been completed, then we will go back first, and I will let people come over with silver to make a deal with you later, you should also hurry up and bring the war horse over, I will go back to prepare first." ”

"Lord Yang, please wait a minute......"

At this time, Zai Sang couldn't sit still, he quickly stood up and called Yang Feng.

"Lord Yang, what did you just say? Will you make a deal later, and bring the silver? ”

"That's right!" Yang Feng blinked his eyes: "Didn't Wu Keshan say just now, you Horqin tribe don't have many war horses, you can only sell me two thousand war horses, didn't I go back and quickly get the silver to come over and buy war horses with you?" ”

"No, we don't want silver." Zaisang didn't care about saying anything else, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"What, don't want silver, could it be that you want to give us this batch of war horses for nothing?" Yang Feng began to pretend to be confused.

"Lord Yang, we don't talk darkly." Seeing Yang Feng's look of incomprehension, Zai Sang knew that this guy's face was thicker than he imagined, and if he continued to pretend to be stupid, I was afraid that today's negotiations would end without a hitch.

He scolded the little fox secretly, and a smile barely appeared on his face: "General Yang, we don't want silver, we want to exchange war horses for food with you." ”

"Absolutely." Yang Feng's reflection surprised Zai Sang and Wu Keshan, but then his words made the two fathers and sons feel cold in their hearts, "Today's grain price is one stone of grain and one or two and a half dollars of silver, of course, this is only the price in the south of the Daming River." We inquired, now outside the customs, the price of a stone of grain has risen to twenty taels of silver, and the price of a war horse outside the customs is about twenty taels of silver, although it can be sold for eighty taels in the capital, but now we are buying at the door, so this price should naturally be sold according to the price outside the customs, do you say yes? ”

"This ......" Zaisang and his son glanced at each other, and they both shouted in their hearts.

And Yang Feng continued: "In this way, a war horse can be exchanged for one stone of grain, you give two thousand war horses, we will give you two thousand stones of grain, I am not wrong to calculate this, right?" ”

And Zaisang's father and son are 10,000 horses roaring by, 2,000 stone grain? Dude, you're going to have no friends if you do this!

"Lord Yang, are you playing tricks on us?" Wu Keshan was a little younger, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed for a while, so he glared at Yang Feng openly, and his right hand was also pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist, with a posture of opening the film without saying a word.

"Tricking you?" Yang Feng showed a look of surprise in his eyes: "No...... Isn't it wrong that I'm just selling grain to you at the normal market price? ”

Wu Keshan glared at Yang Feng with red eyes, "A war horse can only be exchanged for one stone of grain, isn't this an insult to us?" ”

"Humiliation?" Yang Feng sneered, he took a few steps forward and stared at Wu Keshan and said, "To be honest, if I really want to humiliate you, it will not be me who will negotiate with you today, but tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of artillery." ”

"General Yang, do you really want to go to war with our Horqin tribe?" After Yang Feng's words came out, even Zai Sang's face changed, this is a threat from Chiguoguo, if he still has no reaction, then it should not be called forbearance, but should be renamed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"At war?"

Yang Feng laughed out loud, laughing so freely, laughing so wantonly, he looked at Zaisang's father and son and said word by word: "This official came with tens of thousands of troops, and he never thought of going back empty-handed. Originally, the official thought that you would be able to see the situation clearly, but unfortunately the official still looked down on you. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Feng sighed lightly and shook his head slightly: "You can't see the situation more clearly than the official imagined, and you even want to send the official away with two thousand war horses, you really think of the official as a flower, the official can tell you now, if you don't give the official a war horse, then the official will take it yourself, but there will be no food and materials for you at that time, whether it is war or peace is between your thoughts." Now the official will give you another hour, if you still don't give the official a satisfactory answer after an hour, then the official will take your leave as if you have chosen to go to war with the official! ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Feng stood up and walked outside, leaving only a stunned father and son.

"Lord Yang, please stay!"

However, the reaction of the father and son was quite fast, especially Zai Sang, an old fox who had lived for most of his life, and his voice came from behind Yang Feng as soon as he took two steps.

"Lord Yang, how can you do this, the negotiations have just begun, why did you leave?" Zai Sang rushed over with a flexible arrow that did not match his age, grabbed Yang Feng's arm, and smiled all over his face, "Lord Yang, you are too impatient, business is not talked about like this, how can you leave without a word, you don't have the attitude of doing business." ”

To be honest, Jae-sang was really anxious. He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Yang Feng's reaction to be so intense, originally his plan was to use Yang Feng's desire for war horses to hang his appetite, although he couldn't fully agree to Yang Feng's conditions to sell him 20,000 war horses, it was okay to cut off half of them, the reason why Wu Keshan opened two thousand horses was to emphasize the preciousness of war horses, but he never thought that the other party would directly flip the table, and clearly told him that Lao Tzu would not play with you, and you would rob it yourself if you didn't give it to Lao Tzu.

Seeing Yang Feng put on a fierce and vicious appearance, Zai Sang began to be afraid. As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of the dead. Once Yang Feng puts on a posture of being unconvinced, he will do it to the death, Rao is Zai Sang boasts of being resourceful, and he will be furious in his heart.

He can't be afraid, now Hulun Lake gathered nearly eighty percent of the population of the Horqin tribe, once the Jiangning army tears its face and fights with them here, even if it can win, it must be a tragic victory, then I don't know how many herdsmen and warriors will be killed or injured, once Horqin loses too much, Lin Dan Khan of Moxi will definitely not let go of this opportunity, when the time comes, what will Horqin use to resist the attack of the Chahar tribe, I don't know how Horqin will really perish.

Seeing that Zai Sang was really anxious, Li Ge on the side sneered in his heart, these Mongolians are really hard and not soft, just now they instructed their sons to hang our appetite, and now they see that Lord Yang is going to turn his face, so he is in a hurry, why bother in the first place.

Yang Feng glanced at Zai Sang lightly, "Lord Zai Sang, it's not that this official is irritable, you are really too insincere, if it is just for two thousand war horses, why did the official come all the way to your ministry in person, do you really think that this official can't find war horses elsewhere?" Now the official is not playing with you, can you tell the official the truth, how many war horses can the Horqin tribe give to the official? If your answer is not satisfactory to the officer, the officer will never talk nonsense with you again, so let's see you on the battlefield. ”

"This ......"

This time it was Zai Sang's turn to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, Yang Feng had given an ultimatum, once his answer could not satisfy Yang Feng, it would mean that the two sides would enter a state of endless war.

"Where the hell did this bastard come from, why don't you understand the rules at all."

No matter how Zai Sang scolded Yang Feng in his heart, he couldn't escape in the face of the imminent problem, and finally he sighed and wore a finger.

"Lord Yang, our tribe can only sell you 10,000 war horses at most, and we won't be able to get any more!"
