Chapter 421: The Mission Arrives
While eating, Lu Chensheng was thinking about dry food.
The next day, the delegation of the Great Cangguo came to the outside of Xinghan City.
The reason why they dared to send an embassy out at this time was because they had also heard that a cavalry from Xinghan City had swept away the Tartars.
The Tartars were beaten and retreated.
Moreover, the Tartars in the territory were all withdrawn, so they were relieved to come to Xinghan City.
"Everyone, please come with me."
I already knew that the mission of the Great Cangguo was coming, and there were already people waiting at the door, and after verifying their identities, they led the other party towards the valley.
The courtyard that used to be in the old city is no longer inhabited.
The old city is basically a place for herders to stay and prevent infiltration.
Everyone felt that it would be too embarrassing for the dignified rulers to live in the old city again, not to mention the danger.
Therefore, a temporary residence was built in the city for Lu Chensheng to live in.
Lu Chensheng didn't object much to the actions of his subordinates, and he also stayed in the valley.
The envoys of the Great Cangguo, after being told some basic rules in the city one by one, were taken to the valley.
The missions did not dare to slack off, after all, there are people who ask for it, and no matter what rules they have, they still have to abide by it.
A moment later, a group of people were brought into the main hall with some surprised eyes.
Lu Chensheng sat on the main seat and did not greet these envoys, and when these envoys came in, he just waved his hand to let them take their seats.
In the mission, only two people sat down, and the rest of the people were all standing behind them.
"I took the liberty to come here and brought some unique things from the Great Cangguo, and I hope that Lu Gongzi will not mind."
With that, the attendants in the rear immediately brought up boxes of objects.
A list was also submitted.
Shouyue on the side took the lead and carefully inspected it, and after making sure that there was no problem, it was sent to Lu Chensheng.
Lu Chensheng glanced at it, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.
There are all kinds of objects written on the paper, such as precious porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings.
There is also cloth made of silk.
This is extremely famous in the Great Cangguo, or in other words, the silk cloth of the Great Cangguo is extremely famous.
Thin as wings and as light as floating clouds, it's not for fun.
If such a cloth is made into a set of clothes, it will not even be the size of a palm when folded directly, so you can imagine how light it is.
I am afraid that the value of the objects in this is not less than 100,000 taels of silver.
This great cangguo has some tricks.
Lu Chensheng glanced at it, and put the paper aside, looking at the situation, the other party also knew about the last time he was arrested.
So send something to apologize first.
Lu Chensheng waved his hand and asked the attendants to carry things down.
The envoys of the Great Cangguo were all relieved when they saw this, and Lu Chensheng accepted the things, which meant that the next things could be discussed.
Everyone is a smart person, and Lu Chensheng also knows that this is to make amends.
"I don't know how many official positions they are?"
Lu Chensheng raised his head and asked.
"The old man, the servant of the household department, will die forever."
"Zhao Qianhua, a waiter in the lower rite department."
The two people sitting immediately arched their hands and said.
"It turned out to be Yongshilang and Zhao Shilang."
Lu Chensheng nodded, "I don't know what the mission of the Great Cangguo is here for?" ”
There were a bunch of things in the valley, and Lu Chensheng really didn't have much time, so he went around in circles with them, hung their appetites, and simply asked directly.
When the two saw that Lu Chensheng was so straightforward, they were slightly happy in their hearts.
They begged Lu Chensheng to come, but they were worried that Lu Chensheng was going around in circles with them with a shelf.
They have seen too many things like this in the officialdom, and if Lu Chensheng is like this, it will be extremely difficult to deal with.
And the longer you talk, the greater the price you will pay.
Now Lu Chensheng has no plans to go around in circles, they think that this condition is easier to negotiate.
"I want to come to Lu Gongzi and also know that the situation of the Great Cangguo, the flood has always been the heart of the Great Cangguo, I heard that Lu Gongzi is unique, and I want to ask Lu Gongzi to be able to control the water for the Great Cangguo."
Lu Chensheng asked so bluntly, and the two naturally would not beat around the bush.
Sure enough, it was for the purpose of curing the floods.
Seeing this, Lu Chensheng suddenly understood in his heart.
He pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible to control the water, but what price can the Great Cangguo pay?" ”
"If Lu Gongzi is willing to control the water, Dacang Kingdom is willing to give 10,000 stone of grain, 20,000 stone of fruit, and 200,000 taels of silver as a reward!"
Seeing Lu Chensheng talking about the conditions, Zhao Qianhua hurriedly answered.
Lu Chensheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the other party with a smile.
"If the two of you are so insincere, then why don't you stay here for a while, and wait until when the two of you think about it and discuss the conditions with you?"
Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the two people.
The two of them suddenly stiffened when they heard this, don't they all give a rough condition first, and they can't give a low price as soon as they come up, right?
But looking at Lu Chensheng's appearance, he doesn't seem to want to waste time, which seems to be a bit tricky.
When the two thought of this, they didn't dare to really let Lu Chensheng leave, they really let the other party leave, and it would be difficult to see each other next time.
"Then I don't know what conditions Lu Gongzi wants?"
The two thought about it, and simply asked Lu Chensheng, and said that the conditions were too passive.
"There are not many things to ask for, but in the future, the Xinghan City fleet can pass freely in the Great Cangguo, and the Great Cangguo is not allowed to seize and use various names to ask for money, plus 100,000 stones of grain and 100,000 taels of gold."
At first, the two of them listened to it, and their faces were quite calm, but when they heard the last one, their eyes suddenly widened.
100,000 taels of gold? Although the treasury of the Great Cangguo has this money, I am afraid that the treasury will be empty after taking it out!
This is simply asking for a sky-high price!
"Lu Gongzi, is this condition too harsh, how can the Great Cangguo take out such a large amount of gold?"
Ten taels of silver for one tael of gold, Lu Chensheng wants this 100,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to asking for one million taels of silver, how can they get the money out?
If this condition is negotiated, I am afraid that they will all have to suffer the sin.
Lu Chensheng doesn't care, the price is free to talk about, it is naturally okay to ask for a little more money.
You can't directly say a more suitable price, this thing depends on whether you can negotiate and ask for more money from the other party.
"How can it be counted as much? Water control is a good thing for thousands of generations, once the water control is successful, the country will no longer suffer from floods, you and look at Jiang Guo's Yunmeng City, now it is a bumper harvest every year, and the wind and rain are smooth every year. ”
