His face was full of shock, first incredulous, followed by a look of irritation.

No wonder he is like this, what is the concept of 90 million taels of silver!

Based on the current fiscal revenue of Huan State, it is equivalent to five to seven years of tax revenue.

Otherwise, sometimes a war can defeat a country, and what is defeated is not the strength of the city, but the cost of a lot of money, and the national strength is not enough.

Everyone knows that no matter what era, if you fight, you are burning money!

As soon as Wang Su spoke, not only King Huan, but all the ministers of Huan State also widened their eyes, and then they began to talk nonsense.

Huan Xiang Qiu Rong couldn't help but stand out, and said with a gloomy face: "Lord Wang, is your request too much?" ”

"Xiangguo's words are wrong." Of course, Wang Su knew him, and said unhurriedly: "The war is very expensive, this is a truth that everyone understands, the allied army mobilized more than 600,000 troops, fought hard for a year, and successively recovered the west of Jiuyuan, Wuxia Pass, Lianzhou, Liaoyang, Guangyuan and other places, a total of four counties and 36 counties, compared with these cities, 90 million taels of silver, what is it?" ”

What does he mean by that? When Qiu Rong heard this, he was shocked, and his face immediately became not very good-looking.

But before he could speak, Wang Su had already continued: "Besides, if it weren't for the allied forces to exterminate the ghost clan, what kind of situation would Huandi face now, there is no need to say more, right?" Compared with the before and after, it is reasonable to be reasonable, this is what Huan Guo should have. ”

These few breezy words are nothing at first hearing, but they just show Wang Su's power.

His words are hidden in the cotton.

King Huan was about to be angry, but after listening to what he said, he pressed his anger again, because the hundreds of thousands of allied troops were still there, and he really couldn't lose his temper, so he could only flick his sleeves and sit back again.

Seeing this, Qiu Rong smiled at Wang Su and said, "Lord Wang, 90 million taels of silver is not a small amount, our country has suffered more serious losses after this war, I think the allies should understand this, and in this matter, it should be considered." ”

Guo Kai also stood up, and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Wang, you have such a huge amount of gold and silver, how difficult it is for a strong man, in my opinion, it is better to discuss again, you and I both compromise, how about it?" ”

Although he is a traitor, he agrees with Qiu Rong on this matter.

After listening to this, Wang Su pretended to groan for a while, and only after a while did he feel embarrassed: "Of course, considering the post-war situation of Huan State, it is necessary to discuss this matter again, but I think that the consultation between the two sides should be based on reason, and it is not possible to use strong words to reason, and take care of him." ”

"Hehe, this is nature, this is nature......" Guo Kai hurriedly responded.

King Huan took a deep breath, and then suppressed his anger and said: "The envoy's intentions, this king already knows, but the stakes are very high, and it cannot be decided in a day, please go to the post house to rest first, and today's court discussion will end here." ”

His meaning is already very clear, this matter needs to be discussed, and I can't give you an answer today.

When Wang Su heard this, he would not be in a hurry, and bowed down and said, "In this case, the foreign envoy will retire." ”

After giving the salute, he also respectfully withdrew from the court hall.

This is more like a negotiation, before asking for gold and silver, Wang Su, as the dominant party, naturally raised the price first, and then waited for the other party to press, and when the pressure reached the bottom line, this matter was done.

This is a pretty standard routine.

And after he left, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty undoubtedly exploded all at once.

Someone said angrily: "Great king! The monarchs of these three kingdoms are clearly bullying people! Ninety million taels of silver, why don't they grab it! ”

"That's it! It makes no sense for such a lion to open his mouth so widely! ”

"The allies will not retreat but advance, and will join Zhenyang, just now Wang Su said something extraordinary, and said things in four counties and thirty-six counties, this is threatening people......"

Another person sighed, shook his head and said: "Alas, the war costs money, and our country will pay for it, which should have been, but this kind of deception is too much, is it tolerable or unbearable......"

"The allies did this, and they didn't take Huan Guo into account at all! In the opinion of the micro-ministers, our country will ignore it! "There are also people who are angry.

However, as soon as this sentence came out, other ministers said: "Is there a chance that our country will win against the allies?" This matter can only be dealt with from the side, and no force can be resorted to......"

Speaking of which, this is all King Huan's own reasons, if he is bent on expelling foreign enemies, with only 500,000 Huan troops, the ghost army may not be able to fight, things have come to this point, no wonder others, the allies, there is no fault, these money, is also Huan Guo should be.

Above the court, there was a mess and a lot of noise.

Seeing this situation, King Huan couldn't help frowning: "Okay! Quarrel around, what's the use! Is there one who can come up with an idea! ”

The ministers shut up suddenly.

King Huan looked around again, and said angrily: "Just now, someone said that he would ignore this matter, isn't this talking nonsense!" In this way, will the Allies follow! If he uses troops to Zhenyang and approaches the capital, who will be responsible!? ”

Hearing this, the official who proposed it earlier couldn't help but swallow his saliva, where did he dare to respond.

King Huan continued: "Say it again! How to deal with it, but there is a suggestion! ”

The crowd continued to be silent, bowing their heads slightly.

Qiu Rong pondered for a while, and said: "Great King, although the ghost clan has been exterminated, but our country has also been hit hard, at this time, the allies have not retreated, no one knows what the monarchs of the three kingdoms think, and our country has a previous commitment, therefore, it must not be caught by the allies, otherwise, the danger is greater, especially King Qin." ”

If you don't pay for the military, the allies will definitely use the troops for this reason, Qiu Rong intended to remind.

After hearing this, King Huan also came to his senses, couldn't help but take a breath, and said with a worried face: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, but now, it is impossible for us to just agree to Wang Su, this matter, we still need to strive for the minimum loss for our country." ”

Qiu Rong agreed: "Wang Su can speak about the matter, and the king should be courteous to him now, and he should not be dissatisfied, so that it is better to discuss." ”

Hearing him say this, King Huan glanced at him and said, "Prime Minister, you should be an old acquaintance with Wang Su, right?" ”

"Well, I'm not a friend, but I've known each other for some years." Qiu Rong returned truthfully.

"That's okay, you still have to do it yourself, drink more with it, and entertain with good food, maybe, this banquet will be tens of millions of taels of silver." As an important minister of the country, the prime minister cannot shirk this matter, and it is also your duty. King Huan said.

"Yes, the minister will do his best." Qiu Rong could only take orders.
