After seeing Pierce, Mark returned to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion again, this time he didn't say a high-sounding word, but said directly: "Lord Jiang, you make a price, how much does it cost for us to take Prince Pierce!" ”

Jiang Tian said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, you always need to fill your stomach!" Saying that, he clapped his hands crisply, and suddenly a group of young girls in revealing clothes walked in with dishes one after another, and after those young girls left respectfully, Jiang Tiancai smiled and said, "Mr. Mark, please dine!" ”

Although he was extremely unwilling to delay it like this, all the initiative was in Jiang Tian's hands, and he could only see the moves, bowing his head and eating in a muffled voice, but the delicacies of the mountains tasted like chewing wax in his mouth.

Finally, when he saw Jiang Tian wipe his mouth, Mark immediately spoke: "Lord Jiang, can we talk about it now?" ”

Jiang Tian said: "Of course! ”

As he spoke, he picked up a white cloth from the desk, took it from his own guard and handed it to Mark, who took the list and looked at it, and almost wanted to have the urge to kill, when he saw that the white cloth was clearly listed:

There are a total of 5,828 ordinary soldiers, and the normal ransom on the mainland is ten gold coins per person, and at 10 times the price, it is 100 gold coins per person, for a total of 582,800 gold coins!

There are a total of 126 middle-level officer centurions, and the normal ransom on the mainland is 100 gold coins per person, and according to the price of ten times, it is 1,000 gold coins per person, a total of 126,000 gold coins.

There are 8 high-ranking officers and commanders, and the normal ransom on the mainland is 1,000 gold coins per person, and at ten times the price, it is 10,000 gold coins per person. A total of 80,000 gold coins.

In addition, 49 officers with the title of baron were found. The normal ransom in the mainland is 500 gold coins per person. According to the price of ten times, it is 5,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 245,000 gold coins.

There are 14 officers with the title of viscount, and the normal ransom on the mainland is 1,000 gold coins per person, and according to the price of ten times, it is 10,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 140,000 gold coins.

There are 4 officers with the title of earl, and the normal ransom on the mainland is 10,000 gold coins per person. According to the price of ten times, it is 100,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 400,000 gold coins.

There is also a corpse of your marquis, and if you give you a discount, it will be discounted by 100,000 gold coins.

And Prince Pierce, if you want to be low, you won't give face to the Duchy of Louis, so we weighed it three times, and in order to take care of your face, we will pay 5 million gold coins at a fixed price.

These days' room and board, medical expenses, etc., 100,000 gold coins.

Total. 6,773,800 gold!

After reading it all carefully, Mark almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Where is this ransom, it is clearly a robbery, and he asked angrily: "Lord Jiang, we are here with great sincerity, why are you teasing us?" ”

Jiang Tian was unhappy: "How can I tease you, if I wasn't sincere, those officers of yours would have been dragged to the mine by me to mine, and I would still serve with good food and drink, and Pierce, you also saw just now, how good he is here!" As he spoke, a cold gaze shot at Mark, "I see that you clearly don't want to save the fourth prince, hehe, you want to borrow my hand to kill him so that your master will have one less contender to inherit the title of duke in the future!" ”

There are a total of 19 princes in the Duchy of Louis, but only four of them really have the strength to compete for the title of duke, and Mark was a teacher in the second prince's mansion before becoming an official, of course, these are all revealed to Jiang Tian by Pierce after drinking.

"You, you are talking nonsense, I am frank and open-minded, I am dedicated to the public, how can you slander!" Mark was so angry that his face turned white, but although he said it was very neutral, he was inevitably worried in his heart, if the negotiations broke down, he was afraid that this kind of speech in China would be very loud and unfavorable to the second prince.

"Hehe, yes or no, only you know!" Jiang Tian said.

Mark held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Why is the ransom 10 times higher than the normal price on the mainland? ”

This is not something that Mark can see, but it is clearly written on the white cloth, and it will be charged at ten times the normal price of the mainland, which is too arrogant.

Jiang Tian said: "I'm not here to take care of the face of your Duchy Louis, a dignified country, if the ransom is too small, wouldn't it make the whole continent laugh, and think about it, if you redeem it at ten times the price, you can imagine that those soldiers and officers will definitely be grateful to your Grand Duke, and under their intentional or unintentional propaganda, your Grand Duke will become a benevolent prince that the people are vying to praise!" And you will surely be richly rewarded by the Grand Duke! ”

"Well, that's reasonable, so why charge twice? You received it once according to the military rank, and once according to the title of nobility, we are really wronged in the Duchy of Louis! Mark asked angrily.

Jiang Tian said in a heartfelt manner, "Since they have two identities, it is normal to receive money twice!" ”

"But the rules on the mainland are only calculated according to the title, and Prince Pierce's title is only an earl, so the money should be collected according to the earl, why do you need 5 million gold coins, and the duke on the mainland is only at this price!!" Mark argued.

"Hehe, that's just the mainland's rules, and this is my rule, because you are trading with me now, so you must follow my rules! Pierce is only an earl now, but he is likely to be a future duke, so I have to think about the future! ”

"Poof!" Mark is almost vomiting blood, and the ransom still has to consider the future achievements of others? In this case, the ransom for each person can be collected 5 million gold coins, and who knows if he will be lucky enough to create a country in the future.

Jiang Tian smiled faintly and said, "You just need to answer whether you accept it or not, you don't have to look at how I collect the money!" ”

The mustache under Mark's chin was already raised high, and it was not the first time he had led the mission to negotiate, but it was the first time he was so aggrieved, his face was flushed, and he didn't hold back a word.

6,773,800 gold coins, it is too high, you must know that the bottom line given by the Grand Duke is only 2 million gold coins, which is almost 4 times the difference, and Mark has no power to make decisions.

"I need to ask the Grand Duke, I can't make a decision!" After a long time, Mark said twice.

"Absolutely!" Jiang Tian was very understanding, but his face immediately turned cold, "However, I will only give you three days, and after three days, the ransom has not been served, from Prince Pierce to ordinary soldiers, all of them will fall to the ground!" ”

"You! If this is done, the destruction of the Phillips Federation will only be in the moment! Mark said hatefully.

"You don't have to worry about this!" Jiang Tian said nonchalantly. (To be continued.) )
