Chapter 484: Negotiation or Ravage? On (Summoning Commuter Pass)
"What do you think of this? We must first analyze these resources. How much is an adult worth? How much is a child worth? How much is a man worth? How much is a woman worth? How much is a fit and fit worth? How much is the infirm worth? I was taken aback by my own words, don't say it's me, my four beautiful girls were also scared, Li Shu covered his mouth: "Junlang, you, you shouldn't have been a trafficker before, right?" ”
"! I don't have that much spare time. Besides, this kind of hurtful person, can he do it for his husband? Pumping at Li Shu's little buttocks, turning her head, the palace maid sister was recording carefully, while agreeing with my statement: "It should be so, now, those prisoners of war in the country are of great use, they don't need to spend more money on food, they can benefit my Tang Dynasty, now Chang'an to Luoyang is open to traffic, the journey is much more convenient than before, and there are a lot more merchants between Chang'an and Luoyang than before." Just the taxes paid by business travelers have increased a lot. In the past, every time I fought in the Tang Dynasty, all the people captured, except for a few who were surrendered, were all dismissed and left to fend for themselves, or after the other party surrendered to my Datang, they were all released, and in the end, the loss was our Datang itself, and the concubine thought that he had to be ruthless when he should be ruthless. ”
Bang Bang Bang! I applauded and agreed with what the beautiful woman had to say. "That's it, Sister Shu, it's not me saying you, between countries, it's a reason to do business with this, you can use war as a bargaining chip, when we win, it shows that we have more chips in our hands, then, we will try our best to take out more profits from the other party's pockets......"
Li Shu is very keen on business, and when I passed the metaphor of the image, Li Shu quickly understood what I meant. And began to work hard to give me advice. According to Li Shu's words, since our family is doing business, it depends on who the other party is, and the businessmen who are virtuous and trustworthy, we will try to be as fair as possible to each other.
I like Li Shu's shrewdness very much, this is my lamb.
----------------------------------------------------All the terms of the negotiation are planned by me, Liu Fangzhi and He Zheng said that the good thing is the secretary, and the bad one is the intern who is listening, in addition to the two of them, those middle and lower-level officials of the Honglu Temple and the main and guest division are also interns, of course, this is after I went to report to Uncle Li, after getting the edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Summoned them all.
So when the terms of the negotiation reached them, everyone's eyes almost popped out. "Lord Fang, is this so? Every prisoner of war is exchanged for two good horses, isn't this a robbery? ”
"And here, all the Tang people captured by Xue Yantuo's Ministry in the past should be returned, and one prisoner of war should be exchanged for ten. How could they possibly accept such a clause? ”
"My lord, look here, a woman for two cows and ten sheep, isn't this too much, like my Datang I'm afraid it's ......"
I looked at these diplomatic idiots coldly, until someone stopped making a sound, damn it, the negotiation made this nerd first, I might as well directly find a few businessmen to replace them, maybe I can earn greater benefits for Datang.
The silent fallen leaves in the room could be heard, I didn't speak, just looked at them coldly, one by one, and after a while, the sweat of Liu Fangzhi, who was the leader, was already dripping out, and I slowly withdrew my gaze.
I continued to sit quietly on the couch, and I didn't have to wait long for Xue Yantuo's envoy to arrive.
"This is Lord Xue Yantuo is making Sha Bo Luo Ni familiar with Lord Jin, this is Lord Deputy Envoy Tulishe, and this is Lord Fang Junfang, the doctor of Chaoyi and General Xuanwei, Your Majesty has an order, and Lord Fang is the main envoy of the negotiations between my Tang Dynasty and Erbang." Liu Fangzhi, the director of Honglu Temple, gave us an introduction.
"I, Turishe, am the nephew of the Venerable, great, strong, mighty Pearl Khan of the steppes and deserts, and I pay our respects to you, His Majesty the Celestial Empire, the great, supreme Heavenly Khan, General Xuanwei......,"
"Xuanwei General Fang Jun, this name is somewhat familiar." The sand bowl on the side squinted his eyes and looked at me.
I smiled, revealing a row of shiny front teeth: "That's right, General Ben has the honor to participate in the battle between Nabei Yi and your tribe. ”
Tu Lishe's face suddenly changed, and he glanced at Sha Bo Luo Mu and Qi Jin, and swallowed his saliva: "My lord is the warrior general Fang who single-handedly subdued the sacred cow Chechege of the Turkic Qi Libi Khan tribe?!" ”
"Hey, hey, my lord is good to remember his surname, it's the official." I laughed even happier, I didn't expect my name to spread, Barberry Warrior, not bad.
"Hello, sit down, since you are here to negotiate, what do you have to pay? We'll have to see. ”
"See?" Tulisheh and Sha Bo Luo Ni were familiar with each other, and Tuli blinked for a long time, then looked at each other before smiling at me: "My lord, I heard me right, right?" Our Khan has brought us sincerity, to the Tang Dynasty Khan to offer 3,000 horses, 3,000 mink skins to pay tribute, for the last attack on the Tang border made our apology sincerity, if the Tang Dynasty can return the capture of nearly 200,000 people of the servant tribe and 100,000 Xue Yantuo prisoners of war, our Pearl Khan will be grateful, and promised to the Tang Dynasty that as long as these prisoners of war and population are returned, Xue Yantuo is willing to guard the border for the Tang Dynasty forever, never rebel, and will sacrifice 5,000 good horses and 10,000 cattle to the Tang Dynasty every year, 100,000 sheep. ”
"That's all?" I took a sip of tea and yawned: "Please, can you make something sincere, everyone will say empty words, but those who do it don't." ”
"What do you mean? Lord Fang, is our Pearl Khan a shameful liar? Isn't the sincerity of our Great Khan enough? The old fellow suddenly stood up and shouted at me.
I glanced at the old man, sneered, and patted the case: "This old man, don't worry, I didn't say that your Great Khan is not sincere, but well, Lord Ben feels that such sincerity is not enough." ”
Tulisheh pulled this thunderous old guy to sit down, and said to my side: "Lord Fang, I once heard your respected sage Confucius say a sentence, shouldn't you Tang Dynasty convince people with benevolence?" Our great khan already feels that there is a misunderstanding between our two countries, if we can clear this misunderstanding, then won't the north of the Tang Dynasty be free forever? Don't take our honorable Khan's apology as a charity, otherwise, wait for the ...... of the Tang Dynasty."
I continued to say expressionlessly: "What awaits Datang will be war, right?" If you don't want to say this, I said it for you, so should you be grateful to me? Tell you two, what kind of situation is your Xue Yantuo now, your west, the Western Turks are eyeing you, your east, the Black Water Turtle has sharpened its minions, ready to pounce on it and bite off the flesh on your body, and your south, well, that is, our Datang, how much population have you lost? Let me calculate, the last time you recruited more than 100,000 soldiers from all over the country, only 10,000 people fled back, and then I am afraid that tens of thousands of people were plundered and wiped out by my general Su Dingfang all the way, right? Breaking the same Luo Yu on the shore of the water in Suoling, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 people, plus we have wiped out the entire tribe of your servant bones, and the loss is lost, this official is really amazing, I'm afraid it will be no less than 400,000, right? How many people do you have in total, and how many warriors can you muster over? ”
----------------------------------------------------The more I talked, the whiter the faces of these two Tiele people became, and the old guy who was still shouting in front of me just now was like a deflated ball, glaring at me with a pair of dead fish eyes, damn, love to stare at me, anyway, Lao Tzu will not lose a piece of meat.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak, I'm afraid that now your Tiele people's territory has been swallowed up a lot by the Turks and the Tatars, right? What's the matter, do you want to get those prisoners of war and the population back, so as to maintain the grassland where you live? I continued to taunt the two Tielers with my poisonous tongue.
What I have in my hands is intelligence, every move of the Western Turks and the Black Water Warriors can't escape the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the Tiele people who have become weak now, they are now trapped internally and externally, there are strong enemies outside, and there are contradictions inside, the army of the Pearl Khan has been served by us, a big tribe has been captured by more than 6,000 Tang Iron Horsemen, the prestige of the Pearl is gradually fading, and some big tribes have gradually become disobedient, so the Pearl needs warriors and a population to enhance his status, He needed to maintain his prestige as the chief leader of the Tielers. However, he no longer has the ability and does not dare to start another war against Datang, he has understood this truth, so he can only give in, he can only come to Datang in a hurry, wanting to get what he needs from here.
"Let me tell you, we Tiele men can ride horses and draw bows, and ride and shoot unequaled, don't think that we Tiele people are here to beg your pity. You wait, wait for my Xue Yantuo to fight the country, and I will let you understand that we Tiele people should not be lightly admonished. Tu Lishe was furious, pulled up the old guy and wanted to break out, at this time Liu Fangzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to hold Tu Lishi and glad at me vigorously.
I didn't speak, I didn't lift my eyelids, I counted silently in my mind, one, two, three, and then opened my eyes again, and sure enough, the two of them sat back on the couch in a huff, as if we had begged him to stay. Shameless guy!
