Chapter 776: Agreed
Originally, the day after tomorrow was set for the day after tomorrow, after all, everyone was tired enough to negotiate once, but because the Sword Pavilion took out five million taels of silver, the date of the negotiation had to be advanced, after all, if the people of the Desolate Clan knew that the Sword Pavilion had produced so much silver, maybe the lion would be opened.
Yun Chang and Yun Ye's uncle and nephew were thinking about yesterday's negotiation, thinking about how much grain and grass they could pick out and how to negotiate.
Just as they were thinking, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette suddenly came and asked them to prepare to go to the Tongbunkan to continue the discussion.
Yun Chang and Yun Ye couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this, the two of them were a little confused, didn't they say yesterday that the agreed date was set for tomorrow?
Why do you want everyone to talk about it again today? After all, not only were they tired enough yesterday, but Wang Ge was also tired enough.
If you said that you would talk about tomorrow, why did you suddenly change it to today? Isn't this so urgent that you can't even wait for a day's work?
Yun Chang and Yun Ye glanced at each other, and Yun Ye wondered, "What happened?" ”
Yun Chang shook his head slightly and said hoarsely: "I don't know what happened, but something must have happened!" Maybe Wang Ge Lao and they are suddenly going to get busy, in this case, we can pick out more food. ”
Yun Ye nodded when he heard this, it is likely that this is the reason, something suddenly happened in Da Zhou that made Wang Ge Lao and them busy, and they had no time to continue to negotiate, in this case, the people of Da Zhou would not have the energy to continue arguing.
Yun Ye smiled: "This is a good thing! ”
Yun Chang also nodded slightly: "Well, it's indeed a good thing for us, but don't hang it on your face." ”
Yun Ye nodded when he heard this, something must have happened to Da Zhou at this time, it is probably not a good thing, if he is happy at this time, isn't that looking for excitement?
On the way there, Yun Ye and Yun Chang also tried it, but the accompanying officials looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
Yun Ye and Yun Chang didn't ask again, and now it was only Lang Zhong from the Ministry of Rites who came to pick them up, and it was normal to not know what had just happened in the court.
When he arrived at the Tongwen Pavilion, Yun Chang immediately smiled hoarsely and said, "Elder Wang Ge, General Lin, Lord Shangshu, why did you suddenly change the day of negotiation to today?" This throat is really a little unbearable. ”
Wang Ge Lao also smiled a little hoarsely: "When I entered the palace yesterday, the emperor was a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was just some trivial things, and our discussion was too procrastinated." ”
"After a few of us discussed it, we felt that it was better not to wait any longer, after all, even if the negotiation is over, it is not an overnight matter, don't delay the desolate people for the winter."
Yun Ye and Yun Chang listened to this and their hearts tightened, it was not difficult to provoke grain and grass, after all, their desolate clan was only a few hundred thousand people, even if it was negotiated, in fact, those grains and grasses were not much for Da Zhou, but it was not so easy to transport them to the desolate clan.
As long as the Great Zhou court is not overturned, it will not be too late, and it will not be bad for a few days, what should be fought for is still to be fought for, Yun Ye and Yun Chang came back to their senses and said secretly in their hearts.
Wang Ge Lao said: "Without further ado, let's continue to talk, the emperor is very dissatisfied with the requirements of the desolate clan, according to the population roster provided by the desolate clan, the imperial court has also calculated how much grain and grass is needed, and the number proposed by the high priest is too much." ”
Yun Ye smiled a little hoarsely and said: "Elder Ge, we desolate people have a big appetite, one desolate person can be worth the food of two Great Zhou people!" Naturally, there is a lot of food and grass to fill your stomach......"
It's true that the desolate people can eat, but it's not as good as the amount of food for two Da Zhou people, besides, who let you fill your stomachs? Just eat half full and starve to death!
Wang Ge Lao and the others secretly complained in their hearts, they didn't believe that the desolate tribe had no food at all, otherwise if they had spent the winter before? Are they all starving? There were no desolate people in that world for a long time.
Everyone went back and forth to argue, although Wang Ge Lao and the others had the emperor's orders, but they were not polite at all, and pressed the amount of grain and grass down.
Yun Ye and Yun Chang didn't show it on their faces, but they were a little surprised in their hearts, why didn't Wang Ge Lao and them show any signs of letting go?
Could it be that it was not what they thought, something big happened in the Great Zhou, but purely because the emperor was impatient and urged?
The lips were arguing, the mouth was dry, and at noon I simply had lunch and rested for a while and continued to discuss, arguing little by little.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the Tongwen Pavilion suddenly fell silent, and Wang Ge Lao and the others carefully recalled the results of today's negotiations.
Several people glanced at each other, and felt that the negotiation was almost over, although it was still different from what was expected, since the emperor had spoken, and the Sword Pavilion had taken out five million taels of silver, there was no need to dwell on it any longer.
The Sword Pavilion took out five million taels of silver at once, so atmospheric, if Da Zhou was still so calculating, it would indeed seem too petty.
Just when Yun Ye and Yun Chang were about to continue tomorrow, Wang Ge Lao and the others glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "Then it's decided, just follow this, the household department will allocate grain and grass as soon as possible, but it can only be escorted to Shuozhou City." ”
It's decided like this? Yun Chang and Yun Ye were pleasantly surprised, which was a little more than they expected.
Yun Chang smiled: "That's natural, but please prepare some big carts, our desolate clan lacks the means of transportation." ”
Wang Ge Lao and the others all smiled and nodded, these tools were given to the Desolate Clan, after all, the Desolate Clan would also need this for their migration in the future.
The group left the Tongwen Pavilion with a smile, and after returning to the Sifang Pavilion, the surprise in Yun Chang's heart gradually faded, and he said with some regret: "It seems that something really happened to Da Zhou, otherwise the negotiation would not have ended so happily." ”
Yun Ye also reacted when he heard this, and shouted: "Yes, we should be determined when we negotiate, and we will not retreat a single step, and we have lost a lot of grain and grass now!" ”
Yun Chang was also a little regretful, originally they had this guess, but when they saw Wang Ge Lao, they were very calm, so their hearts were shaken, and both sides were backing down during the negotiation.
It shows that if he insisted on not giving in at the beginning, in the end, Wang Ge Lao and they would agree, and then they would have a lot of more grain and grass.
Wang Ge Lao and they are worthy of being important ministers of the imperial court, and they are all treacherous and cunning, so calm.
But these have passed, since it has been decided, it is impossible to regret it, Yun Chang put away his regretful thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "This matter has been decided, don't think too much, speaking of which, this result is already better than we expected!" We can't get an inch in, we have to look at Shu, you have to correct your mentality. ”
Yun Ye nodded when he heard this, and his regret faded, this result was indeed better than he imagined.
