411 Dinner
Zhu Beiguo wanted to laugh every time he thought of this, because he had long been familiar with this set of practices from historical materials, and he completely understood what these adults in a closed state thought.
It is estimated that at this time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared or was willing to deal with this powerful, unknown strange force, not to mention that the object of this deal was still the legendary devil, and those courtiers even thought that if they went to negotiate, they might encounter ghosts and devils and other non-human beings, so let alone go to face-to-face negotiations, they felt scared when they thought about it.
As a result, the whole court tacitly handed over this drudgery to this straw bale......
As for the contradiction between the king of Sulu and the prime minister, Zhu Beiguo had already learned about it from Xue Laixiang, and he also knew that he was a lion with his mouth wide open.
At this time, Zhu Beiguo knew very well in his heart that 250,000 taels of silver could not be taken out of the treasury of Sulu State, because this was about equivalent to the total financial income of the people for two years, but in this world, the so-called financial income is only a small part of the total income of the country, and only the parties concerned know how greasy it is.
Therefore, Zhu Beiguo had already made up his mind that he must let those nobles bleed, after all, the monarch of Sulu has been established for nearly three hundred years, and there have been no major wars during this period, so these nobles of Sulu have accumulated a lot of family resources.
Therefore, as long as the king and the prime minister are willing to do it, it is not a very difficult task to raise this silver.
However, as long as we can force the king and the prime minister to do this, then the collection of money or anything is actually a trivial matter, and thus creating internal contradictions, and finally achieving the benefit of the fisherman, is our ultimate goal.
Of course, Zheng Fu is actually not wrong, His Majesty the King's treasury or treasury may really be shy in his pocket, because the king's financial resources are not as vast as the prime minister, but because you are the king, labor and management are to force you to take advantage of your nobles, as for who wins and who loses, I don't care, it's best for you to beat out the dog's brains between you, so that we can take advantage of the chaos to make a profit!
So Zhu Beiguo said with a smile in a gentle tone as much as possible:
"Brother Zheng, don't be nervous, what you said is not unreasonable, but don't worry! Brother Xue and you are close to each other, and we will never let you do anything, although we will reply to the king of Sulu about it. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Beiguo paused again, immediately changed to a serious face, and his tone became much firmer and continued:
"Tell your Majesty the king that you may have little money in your treasury, but those noble ministers should have it, and now that the country is in trouble, shouldn't you repay it?" Who is this country? Aren't you nobles yet!? Now that there is something in the country, if you nobles don't come out to take responsibility, do you want to let a bunch of ordinary people bleed?
Just tell your master that if you are still holding your pockets and thinking about your own little Jiujiu at this time, you will be lucky! Don't say my cannon can raze your entire city of Holo to the ground! It really annoys us, everyone has turned their faces, my Australian federal army is coming to the city, this brocade country, hundreds of years of society and society, but it is really going to change the name and surname! ”
Zhu Beiguo paused when he said this, waiting for Zheng Fu and Xue Laixiang to translate these words, and sure enough, the captain of Haluban was suddenly a little frightened, he looked at Zheng Fu expectantly, and said to Zheng Fu with a tone of anxious white face, Obviously, Zheng Fu's identity as a translator and slave can only bow his head and listen.
However, Zhu Beiguo decisively interrupted Captain Haluban's words, he couldn't understand it anyway, and he didn't plan to wait for the other party's translation, but continued to say with a serious face:
"However, my Australia is not an arrogant and unreasonable state, if you wake up, actively compensate, change the past, and reach a trade agreement with our Australia, then Australia has countless treasures, which can make you and other goods colonize the world, and at that time, the country will be rich and the people will enjoy peace, isn't it beautiful......"
This remark made Zheng Fu drenched in a cold sweat, thinking that this person who was called Brother Zhu by Brother Xue was really insightful, empathetic, and considerate......
Zhu Beiguo didn't know that his polite words and words actually moved the translator in front of him.
Obviously, Zheng Fu memorized Zhu Beiguo's words, and he suddenly understood something from them, but the captain of Haluban still listened with a confused expression.
Now that everyone had said that, Zheng Fu knew that it was time to end the negotiations, so he whispered to Haluban and planned to get up and leave.
At this time, Zhu Beiguo also felt that the first negotiation between the two sides had been completed, and except for the return of Xue Laixiang's ship and the release of the Han tenant slaves would be left to the next negotiation, there seemed to be nothing important to talk about at present, so he got up and invited the two to lunch.
Invited to dinner on the legendary devil ship or ghost ship, the two of them were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts, but fortunately, Zheng Fu saw Brother Xue's self-promise, and in fact, the two of them really didn't dare to refuse, so they reluctantly agreed.
In fact, you can't blame the two of them for playing drums in their hearts, after all, in the eyes of these two, Australians are somewhat demonic, they don't know what they will eat, maybe it's still something that the devil eats, the question is can we mortals eat?
Well, although the two of them had some drumming in their hearts, but at this moment, the captain of the pulp rowing boat, Lord Haruban, was quite calm, after all, he was the first person to deal with these Australians in the entire group of adults in Sulu, as early as when he was fished out of the sea and interrogated for a long time, until now, he has been constantly dealing with these tall and handsome Australians in front of him, although he can't understand what people say, but at least after close contact, he doesn't feel that these people are gods or ghosts so terrible.
After all, when he was fished on the deck, the bowl of sweet hot porridge is still fresh in his memory, he had just fought a battle at that time, and he was still an enemy, but he didn't treat himself well in the end, and he was still good at eating and drinking.
However, he can't speak so truthfully in the court, no matter how hasty the captain is, he also knows that if he says good things about the Australians in front of the courtiers, he will immediately be suspected by the ministers of becoming a traitor to a foreign country, and maybe he will be judged on the spot that he was a ghost, and then he will be locked up in a small black house, and it is difficult to say that he is tormented by a group of wizards every day! Or if someone else comes up with some high-sounding reason, they may bring themselves to justice, even if they are one of the brothers-in-law of Lord Suhabidatu, they can't keep it.
By the way, maybe in order to prove that he is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, the prime minister will have a righteous drama of killing his relatives, so where will he go to reason at that time?
Three dishes and one soup plus a staple food, plus a bottle of sweet potato spirits that Lao Wang has just successfully developed.
It was a meal that the captain would never forget, for in his eyes, the dishes were simply so fragrant, full of flavor and taste, and he was sure that neither the cooks in the palace nor the cooks of the Suhabidatu family could make such delicious food, and all this was actually the food of a ship!
The conditions on the sea ship are limited, and the diet is so poor that even if you are a nobleman, you have to endure it, but according to his secret observation, the ordinary crew in the restaurant actually eat the same dishes as them! In addition to not having the bottle of wine in front of me - yellow and red, open the cork on the bottle, a special aroma of wine comes to the face, this is not counting, this wine is actually in a transparent glass bottle!
Glass...... Glass Bottle ...... Transparent...... Shines with a crystal clear luster...... Wine...... The captain's brain was a little drunk at this time, could it be that this was a treasure in the legendary Dragon Palace?
