When Zheng Shuxuan went back to talk about the matter of Lanling, Li An had a bitter face at that time.

"Why did you agree to this?"

Li An was quite helpless, so that their Li family would stand on the opposite side of the royal family, Zheng Shuxuan's decision made him anxious, and he didn't know what to do.

He is the head of the Li family, but he can't ruin the foundation of the Li family in Chang'an because of a decision, and Li De is now the governor of the capital, in charge of the sixteen states of Youji.

Isn't that forcing his son to do something rebellious?

"Hey, do you know what kind of crisis your decision will put the Li family into."

Li An complained helplessly.

Zheng Shuxuan knew that she shouldn't say such and such things, but she couldn't bear to see that Lanling had the courage to give up her status as a princess, it was her daughter-in-law and his grandson.

"Let's think about what we can do." Zheng Shuxuan said calmly.

"What else can be done, I will write to Youzhou immediately."

Li An has no idea, the matter is related to Princess Lanling, he wants to estimate the foundation of the Li family, so he naturally has to discuss the matter with Li De, and he can't really listen to Zheng Shuxuan's kindness.

"That's it."

It didn't take a few days for the letter to arrive in Youzhou, and Li De saw the urgent letter from Chang'an City, thinking that it was about expanding the tiger guard, and only then did he know that it was Princess Lanling.

Li De smiled bitterly when he saw the content of the letter, he was really like the princess he knew, and such a bold thing could really be done.

It doesn't seem wrong to think from the other side's point of view.

Li De scratched his head a little, wanting to take Lanling to Youzhou to live is not a journey that can be said to go, it is easy to come, and the Li family will anger the royal family after coming.

Maybe he will be the first person to elope with the princess, and it feels quite helpless to think about it.

Li De thought about it and decided to write back.

"Governor, the court has sent a letter, and the Turks let us deal with it ourselves." Yang Yuer rushed into the house in a hurry.

Seeing that Li De was frowning and thinking about things, he immediately stopped his voice for fear of disturbing.

"Lord Yujun, is there any news from Fancheng?"

Li De didn't continue to be stunned, put aside the things in his heart, and asked.

"Judging by the time, our people should also come back in the next two days."

As he was talking, he saw the dusty guards come in.

"The governor has contacted the Turkic tribes, and they are willing to ransom the captives with materials, and the specific price needs to be discussed, and after ten days, each ransom tribe will send an envoy to Youzhou City."

"Wei Li has worked hard for you this trip." Li De said with concern.

"It's all a subordinate matter, no matter how hard it is, if you can exchange the Turks for a large amount of materials, it will be worth it." Wei Li said.

"The lord of Yujun will settle the accounts, the daily food, drink, shelter and transportation of the Turks, as well as the material losses caused by their wanton attack on Youzhou City, the spiritual losses to the people, and the casualties and losses of the soldiers must all be counted for me."

Yang Yu'er felt more and more in her heart that this compensation was like a war reparation, and if she really had to set a price, she really didn't know if the people from the Turkic Mission would accept it.

"Are we going to find a civilian to get in touch with the Turkic mission?" Yang Yuer asked.

"Lord Yujun is now a military city in Youzhou City, where do you let me go to find a civil official, so let's choose a few quiet-looking people to negotiate?" Li De asked.

The Jade County Lord was silent, and the matter was settled.

The purpose of the negotiation is to safeguard the interests of Youzhou City, the vanguard soldiers, and the interests of all the people in the city.

A few days later, emissaries from various Turkic tribes arrived, and the form of negotiations was quite peculiar, and a street was directly divided into a market for this time.

Li De did not come forward, but watched the Turkic envoys who came thousands of miles in the pavilion in the distance, no matter how you looked at them, these people felt more like merchants.

The redeemed people are all they like, either they are strong and powerful, or they have some connection with their tribe, and they hear those people talking in the local dialect.

Research for half a day before bidding for redemption.

"Thirty times a person, no, you are a robbery."

After some negotiations, many of the envoys of the Turkic tribes quit, and they did not redeem a single person in the morning.

The governor who stayed in the attic and watched didn't care, as if he was watching the excitement, and the lord of Yujun beside him said anxiously: "Governor, you see if the price is too high, they refuse to take the money." ”

"The negotiation has just begun, as the saying goes, you have to give others a chance to bargain."

Yang Yuer didn't know what kind of crooked reasoning Li De was talking about, she knew that no matter how she suffered, she would always be the enemy.

"Lord Yujun, are those merchants here?" Li De asked.

"It's all arranged, and we'll meet soon." Yang Yu'er replied that before entertaining the Turkic envoys, in addition to negotiating with the Turks, she also invited many merchants.

The purpose is self-evident is to take the market economy, so that the Turks feel the competition, and it will be easier to pay money when there is pressure, of course, Li De's idea was originally to do business.

There is no acting component at all, but in the eyes of others, such as Yang Yuer, she thinks that this is a deliberate arrangement, and the vanguard can't suffer anyway.

While taking the Turks to lunch, merchants from Gangneung and other prefectures arrived with caravans, and they did not pay much attention to the Turkic envoys.

When he saw the lieutenant of the vanguard, he asked, "We are here to do business, can you please ask the general to take us to see the goods." ”

The businessmen who can engage in this profession are all wealthy, either with a background or a way, in short, they are not good.

"Okay, please come with me." Wei Li felt very kind when he saw the merchant coming, and he knew that their plan had paid off.

Because after listening to the words of the interpreter among the Turkic envoys, the envoys discussed with anger on their faces, but the guards did not care what they said.

The merchants' eyes lit up when they saw the Turks, but they all had a bitter face after asking about some quotes.

Wei Li then took these people to the restaurant for dinner.

Let them discuss the rest.

Wei Li went directly to the pavilion where Li De was and explained the situation.

"Governor, the merchant is not too satisfied with the price we offered." Wei Li said.

"If you let it up to 25 yuan, you need to pay for it, and tell them that if you pay all with horses, you can discount the price to 20 yuan." Li Dedao.

Wei Li calculated, if all 60,000 people were redeemed, wouldn't they have to exchange 60,000 war horses for them, no matter how they calculated, they earned it.

"Are the Governors overly optimistic, will they agree?" Wei Li wondered.

"Don't forget that what they lack most is people, and the strength between tribes depends on the population, look, there will be people who can't bear it first."
