Chapter 1045: How dare you put money in front of this king?
Wu Zheng glanced left and right, and saw that the officials were shaking their heads at him one by one, and Qian Sule was also shaking his head slightly.
However, Wu Zheng made a "bang" and slapped his palm on the case.
Everyone thought that Wu Zheng was going crazy.
I didn't want to go next, but Wu Zheng smiled at Wakda: "Refreshing! No one thinks silver bites hands, does it? King Doroqianxiang, your proposal was approved by this king. ”
Wakda was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Zheng to agree to the offer to ransom the prisoners so easily, his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly asked: "I didn't expect King Wu to be a cheerful person, then ask King Wu to make a price!" ”
Wu Zheng flicked his fingers and thought for a while: "Karchuhun is Dorobele, then 100,000 taels, Shangshan is Beizi, cheaper, 60,000 taels ......." ”
These words made all the officials of the Yixing Dynasty stunned, Qian Sule really couldn't sit still, and pulled Wu Zheng's sleeve hard and said, "How can this be?!" ”
However, when Shen Wenkui heard this, he immediately hit the snake and said: "King Wu has a noble status, so he naturally does what he says and believes in his word...... In this way, I will be able to redeem two ...... of silver at once. ”
Wu Zheng blinked, and said with an inexplicable look: "Wait, what did Master Shen just say?" ”
Shen Wenkui was stunned for a moment and repeated: "King Wu's status is noble, and he naturally has a ...... of faith. ”
"Hmm...... It's not true, but it's true...... Oh, this king asks, the next sentence. ”
This almost made everyone stunned.
Shen Wenkui had no choice but to say: "I can pay the silver taels immediately...... ”
"Stop!" Wu Zheng slapped the desk and said angrily, "Shen Wenkui, you dare to humiliate this king? ”
Shen Wenkui was confused, "What does King Wu mean by this?" ”
"Silver, you're talking about silver! Has this king never seen a person who has seen hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? ”
"It's not silver, it's gold...... Belch. Shen Wenkui almost choked, he suddenly understood that Wu Zheng was talking about gold.
Wu Zheng pointed at Shen Wenkui and said angrily: "Of course it's gold, are your Dorobelles and Beizi two pigs, only worth so much silver?" ”
What do you say...... Tsk, all the officials of the Yixing Dynasty pursed their lips and snickered, and they realized that Wu Zheng had agreed before, thinking that the intention was just to set up a trap to humiliate the other party.
Shen Wenkui and all the Qing envoys dared not speak out, it was true that this matter was out of misunderstanding, but the exchange ratio of gold and silver exposed Wu Zheng's "sinister intentions" undoubtedly.
Yes, the lives of Dorobelle and Beizi are naturally more than 100,000 taels.
However, at this time, gold was basically not circulated, and it was mostly used by the government and wealthy families to store, collect, and create ornaments and utensils.
No one would offer to trade in gold.
Moreover, at this time, the ratio of gold and silver exchange was above 1 to 12, or even 13.
160,000 taels of gold, that's equivalent to 2 million taels of silver, I'm afraid this ...... The Qing court really couldn't take it out.
Wakda said angrily: "You are blackmail! ”
Wu Zheng calmed down, and spread his hands, "Look, this king has made a price, you shouldn't just do it, but instead come to accuse this king of blackmail, this is too unreasonable, right?" In this way, since the differences are too great, it is better to adjourn the meeting for the time being and discuss it after the two sides have discussed. ”
Saying that, Gu Zi got up, and Shen Wenkui hurriedly said, "Then when is the next meeting?" ”
Wu Zheng thought about it, frowned and thought seriously: "When it comes to money, naturally you can't be careless...... In this way, after three days, both sides will have to discuss it carefully, right? ”
Wakda slapped the table and glared and shouted, "No! It's been too long, isn't it just two million taels of silver......? ”
Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "The king of the county...... It's really rich! ”
It's rich, in fact, the Qing court and the Ming court are not much better, they are all such a group of people, such a faction, the country is poor and the "people" are rich, of course the people will not refer to the people.
Over there, Shen Wenkui hurriedly pulled Wakda, and argued with Wu: "According to the will of the king of Huiji, but three days is too long, it is better to tomorrow, right?" ”
Wu Zheng said with a hint of reluctance on his face: "That...... It also becomes! ”
……。
Honglu Temple, for the Qing court mission to rest, set aside seven houses, forming a relatively independent area.
In the middle of the house, Wakda roared in a voice that he thought he had restrained, "The Southern Barbarians have always been treacherous, and they have offered a price of 160,000 taels of gold...... If it weren't for the queen mother and His Majesty before the king came, the queen mother and His Majesty repeatedly told him, this king would have opened a case today and smacked him with a ...... face. ”
A rod overturned a boatload of people, this is a strafing.
The thirteen members of the mission, except for himself, are all Han Chinese, even if they don't want to be Han anymore, but the blood on their bodies cannot be changed.
Everyone lowered their heads, looking respectful, but everyone was slandering, I don't know who it was, so I just had to agree to it, if Shen Wenkui hadn't stopped it in time, I am afraid that it would have been time to pay the silver.
Fortunately, Wakda is reckless, but not stupid.
After he recalled that he had scolded everyone around him, he quickly added a patch, "...... cough, this king is scolding the southern barbarian ...... in Jiangnan. ”
There are many things, just don't explain it, and this explanation, nine times out of ten, the more you describe it, the darker it gets.
Yes, these Hanchen are all in the north, but you must know that in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, after the Donglin Party unified the rivers and lakes, the proportion of people and jinshi in the south of the Yangtze River accounted for more than seventy percent of the total number of each imperial examination.
Among these twelve Hanchens, I am afraid that most of them are scholars from various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.
Shen Wenkui is one of them.
Of course, Shen Wenkui will not contradict it, and at the age of half a hundred, the fire in his heart has long been gone.
If you can't even do this, how can you rise again after three ups and downs in the north?
When he raised his head, there was no dissatisfaction on his face, and he even smiled, "Lord Wang, the war in Jiangbei is urgent, and the regent is in poor health, the most important thing at the moment is to report the news of Wu Zhengzheng to the regent in response to Tianfu." ”
Wakda was stunned for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "This is what the king wants to say, and this matter will be handled by the deputy envoy with full authority." ”
"Ahem!" Shen Wenkui coughed dryly and said, "But the lower officials don't know what I buried in Yingtianfu...... Besides, only you, the prince, have the right to use these shadows...... This is also the reason why the lower officials should talk about it tomorrow, and with this day's time, this news should be able to be delivered to Jiangbei. ”
Wakda nodded again and again, "The deputy envoy is right, but this king is the main envoy, and the entry and exit of Honglu Temple is under the surveillance of the Yixing Imperial Court...... In this way, it's better for the deputy to make this trip, right? Don't worry, after the matter is completed and you return to the dynasty, this king will definitely ask for credit for you! ”
Shen Wenkui hesitated: "It's not that the lower officials don't want to share the worries of the prince, it's just that ...... This is not in accordance with the law. Or...... Pick one of the adults and run for the prince? ”
Wakda glanced at the envoys, but those Han officials took a step back one by one, no one is a fool, this matter is indeed meritorious, but the danger is also great.
