More than half an hour later, Xiao Chen's figure appeared in front of the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

The guards of the Ministry of Rites seemed to have received the notice, and when they saw Xiao Chen coming, they hurriedly stepped forward.

"See Master Hou!"

Xiao Chen looked at the guards who came and asked lightly, "King Ji has arrived?"

The guard hurriedly replied respectfully, "Not long after arriving, Lord Meng is waiting for Hou Ye and the others in the conference hall!"

Xiao Chen nodded, and then walked into the Ministry of Rites with the ghost fox and the lone wolf ghost.

However, the lone wolf and the demon did not walk into the conference room with Xiao Chen.

Liang Ran found a break room in the Ministry of Rites and sat down.

In the conference room of the Ministry of Rites, Meng Ye, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a man in his early fifties with a mediocre appearance.

Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he was sitting in the middle of the conference room.

Beside him, there was a young man in a blue brocade robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and between his eyebrows, there was a faint hint of arrogance.

It is the great prince of the Han Dynasty, King Ji.

However, to Xiao Chen's surprise, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Commerce were also at the scene.

As for Honglu Temple, although King Lao Ning did not come, he sent a Honglu Temple attendant to participate in the meeting.

At this moment, everyone is sitting around a huge round table, looking at the information in front of them, as if they are trying to figure out the topic to be discussed next.

At this moment, a Ministry of Rites official hurriedly walked in.

"Lord Meng, the champion has arrived!"

When Meng Ye heard this, he couldn't help but put down the information in his hand and turned his head to look at the entrance.

The rest of the crowd heard the words of the Ministry of Rites officials, and they also looked at the entrance of the conference room.

That's when ......

Xiao Chen slowly walked in with the ghost fox.

Xiao Chen noticed at a glance the new face sitting next to King Ji - the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Meng Ye!

Walking into the conference room, Xiao Chen bowed his hand slightly to Meng Ye and said, "Congratulations to Master Meng!"

Meng Ye looked at Xiao Chen who came over, and a faint smile faintly appeared on his slightly honest face.

Meng Ye knew that if it weren't for Xiao Chen, he would not have been suddenly promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Get up, you have to accept Xiao Chen's love!

When Meng Ye saw Xiao Chen coming, as the master, he naturally got up to greet him.

"Master Hou, please take a seat, I'll wait for you!"

Meng Ye bowed slightly to Xiao Chen, and motioned for Xiao Chen to sit down.

Xiao Chen walked over and bowed slightly to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm a step too late!"

King Ji looked at Xiao Chen, who was sitting down, and said with a slight smile, "Hou Ye smiled, I and a few others live nearby, even if they walk on foot, it will only take ten minutes, but Hou Ye is far away, and he hurried all the way, but it is hard!"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, "King Ji's is good, it seems that Ben Hou needs to buy a mansion near here, so it's convenient!"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

At this time, after seeing Xiao Chen sitting down, Meng Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, picked up the information in his hand and said, "Everyone has arrived, and then we will discuss the matters to be negotiated with the missions of the three countries in the afternoon!"

"His Royal Highness King Ji ......"

When King Ji heard this, he took over and coughed lightly.

"This king was also temporarily ordered to organize everyone to discuss in a hurry!"

"Originally, this negotiation was completely in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qi, Lord Lu Jing, and Lord Chen Wei. But when Ben Wang got the original negotiation plan, he felt very inappropriate!"

"There are no more specific Inner Rou King Hon, presumably you have already seen the information in your hands. In a hurry, the king organized everyone to come over for only three things: first, the issue of post-war compensation in the northwest, second, the issue of border trade between the three countries, and third, how to deal with the 200,000 prisoners!"

His Royal Highness King Ji couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen, "The original plan was to discuss, but the champion Hou was not invited, and this king felt that it was very inappropriate, so he specially invited Hou Ye over this time, and I also wanted to hear Hou Ye's suggestions, especially the post-war compensation in the Northwest, and the disposal of 200,000 prisoners in the Three Kingdoms, Hou Ye has the most right to speak as a party!"

That's right!

All the participants in the entire conference room agreed with King Ji's words.

When King Ji presided over before, all the negotiation plans had already been discussed in advance.

And Xiao Feng was not a military representative at that time, and it was not until Han Xun recommended it to the big man later, so he temporarily added Xiao Chen to the team to welcome Zheng

Therefore, it was normal for Xiao Chen not to know the results of the previous negotiations.

Xiao Chen listened to King Ji's words, and couldn't help but glance at King Ji in surprise.

The ghost fox sat behind him, smiled slightly, and said no more.

But when he saw the information in his hand, the ghost fox's face turned cold.

Then he looked up at Xiao Chen, as if he wanted to see what Xiao Chen's expression was.

However, to the surprise of the ghost fox, Xiao Chen almost didn't have a reaction after reading the previous negotiations, as if he was looking at a piece of information that had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Meng Ye, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the information in his hand with a solemn expression and said coldly, "His Royal Highness King Ji is right, these three issues are the top priority of this negotiation. This is only the first of the previous negotiation agreements, and our Han will pay a maximum of 5 billion yuan in compensation to each of the three countries, which is very inappropriate. ”

Hearing this, Hubu Shangshu immediately snorted coldly, "This official also agrees with Meng Darao's words, five billion is indeed too much, this time it is really up to my big man to be the victim, at most one billion in compensation, no matter how much it is!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce snorted even more disdainfully, "What to accompany, how can you lose money if you win! According to my meaning, I will not lose a single one!"

"In addition, there are three countries to exchange trade, why do they have to levy a tariff of five percent, the Han Dynasty has to implement a base tax on the cattle and sheep imported and exported by the Northern Desert Wolf Clan, or even a tax-free policy. ”

"The border trade between the two countries should be based on fairness and justice. The Northern Desert Wolf Clan should export no less than 500,000 tons of cattle and sheep to our Han every year, and textiles should also be further increased!"

Meng Ye looked at the information in his hand and continued, "As for how to deal with the prisoners after the war, according to international practice, they are all exchanged for ransom, but the ransom here needs to be quite high, originally only 50,000 per person, at least to the international minimum standard!"

Meng Ye mentioned the last point, and everyone present nodded their heads one after another.

However, at this time, Hubu Shangshu frowned and said, "There are too many prisoners this time, nearly 200,000, if it is 100,000 per person, the three countries will pay a total of 20 billion for it, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." It is estimated that His Royal Highness King Qi and others really took this into account before, so the ransom was lowered. Therefore, I think this ransom still needs to be carefully considered!"

In the conference room, everyone immediately began to talk when they heard the words.

Because for nearly a hundred years, there has never been such a large number of captives captured in World War I.

A hundred years ago, due to the limitation of economic level, even the ransom would not be too much.

Now, although there have been ransom substitutions in the world, the number is not large, a few few, and a few hundred.

At most, it was ten years ago when Great Qin ransomed 1,200 people to the Northern Desert Wolf Clan, and the ransom at that time was 300,000 per person!

For this, Daqin paid a ransom of nearly 360 million, which caused a huge sensation at the time.
