Zhao Quan thinks that he still knows a lot about these dog civil officials in Daming, this Lord Yang must want to take the opportunity to make some benefits, he also told Altan Khan before coming to the peace talks, these dog corrupt officials, it is definitely not possible to stuff some silver.

Altan Khan also promised to take out part of the tens of thousands of taels of silver at the bottom of the box and bribe these Ming officials to keep them safe.

However, this silver can't be given indiscriminately, these dog corrupt officials have a big appetite, they can scrape a few taels of oil from you if they don't have money, you have to say that you have money, people are absolutely lions open their mouths.

He pretended to hesitate for a while, and then he was embarrassed: "My lord, don't you know, the herdsmen of the Tatar tribe are dying of starvation at this moment, and we really don't have much money. Altan Khan, his old man, felt sorry for the people below, and agreed to take out the gold and silver utensils of the Khan's court to pay for money, which can roughly be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, have you seen enough? ”

Ten thousand taels?

You sent the begging for food!

Yang Cong said coldly: "Do you know how much damage the Tartars have caused to Da Ming for so many years? 10,000 taels of silver, a loss for what you said! ”

The loss caused by the Tartars is the imperial court, and it has a fart relationship with you, don't you just want to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Quan secretly scolded himself, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Those of us who are officials in the Khan Court can barely scrape together 10,000 taels of silver, my lord, have you seen enough?" ”

What is the difference between 20,000 taels and 10,000 taels?

Yang Cong still said coldly: "The losses caused by the Tartars to Daming are at least tens of millions of taels, what do you say to this official about 10,000 taels, 20,000 taels, is it interesting?" Is this your sincerity? If that's all you mean about it, then please go back, we don't have much to talk about. ”

Nima, tens of millions of taels, it's a shame for what you said!

Are you the hell when the grassland is full of mountains of gold and silver?

Zhao Quan scolded in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be respectful, and pleaded: "My lord, raise your noble hand, our Great Khan really doesn't have much money, even if all of us make up all the money we can take out, it will be a maximum of 50,000 taels of silver, my lord, have you seen enough?" ”

Fifty thousand taels?

For the loss of the entire Ming Dynasty, what is the difference between 10,000 taels, 20,000 taels, and 50,000 taels?

That's all a drop in the bucket, it's not worth mentioning at all!

Yang Cong simply shook his head and said, "It's not enough, it's far from enough." ”

You!

Don't be so greedy, okay?

Zhao Quan thought for a while, and said directly: "My lord, the so-called fine water flows, now our Great Khan really has no money, no matter how much you squeeze it, you can't squeeze it out, why don't you accept the 50,000 taels first, and later, when our Great Khan has money, we will honor you, what do you think?" ”

it!

After a long time, this kid thought he wanted to reap the benefits!

Yang Cong cried and laughed: "Do you know who this official is?" ”

Zhao Quan said a little inexplicably: "I know, my lord, you are the cabinet scholar of the dynasty, the governor of the northwest, the marquis of Hui'an, Yang Congyang, right?" ”

Yang Cong continued to ask, "Then do you know what our Yang family does?" ”

Does this have anything to do with peace talks?

Zhao Quan was a little puzzled and said: "This, the grass people have heard that the Yang family, where the adults are located, seems to be in the salt business. ”

Do you know this news and are you embarrassed to come to peace talks?

Yang Cong said helplessly: "You are right, our Yang family is in business, however, our Yang family is not only engaged in salt business, there are more other businesses, even the emperor knows that our Yang family is rich and rivals the country, and it is no problem to take out millions of taels or even tens of millions of taels casually, you say, will this official care about these tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Tell you, even if it is hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels, the official will not pay attention to it, and no matter how much ill-gotten wealth there is, the official will not take a penny! ”

Yes!

After a long time, this Lord Yang is still a rich kid of a rich country!

In this way, people are not trying to make money at all, they really want the Tatar Ministry to compensate for the losses of the Ming Dynasty for so many years!

How good is that?

Zhao Quan was stunned for a while, and then said pitifully: "My lord, we really have no money, even if you kill us, we won't be able to make up tens of millions of taels!" ”

Yang Cong naturally knows this.

He smiled nervously: "No money, it's okay, don't you have other things, we can suffer a little loss and pay for it with things." ”

Cashing in for money?

What is worth tens of millions of taels?

If there is such a thing in the steppe, the Tatar department will have it a long time ago, and will it be so poor that it can't even afford to eat?

Zhao Quan was stunned and said: "My lord, please forgive the grass people for being stupid, what is there on this grassland that can be worth tens of millions of taels, the grass people really can't think of it." ”

Yang Cong smiled and explained: "War horses, aren't there many war horses on your grassland? At this time, war horses are worth a lot of money, a good war horse can be worth at least a hundred taels of silver, 10,000 is a million taels, and 100,000 is tens of millions of taels. ”

Steed!

Zhao Quan really didn't expect this.

What are you kidding, war horses are the foundation of the grassland tribe, and the strength of a tribe mainly depends on the number of war horses, as for the number of people, it is secondary.

If the number of people can determine the strength of the tribe, it is not simple, but it can be born vigorously, and after a few decades, the population will definitely grow explosively.

The problem, no matter how many people are born, it's useless, without war horses, you can't grab the territory, and no matter how many people are born, you have to starve to death!

The reason why Altan Khan can dominate the grassland is because of the fine horses under his hands, and without the war horse, he is still a man

War horses to pay for it?

Don't even think about it!

Zhao Quan subconsciously shook his head and said, "My lord, this, it is impossible for our Great Khan to agree to use war horses to pay for money." ”

Yang Cong said unhurriedly: "It's okay if you don't agree, what we have is patience, if we don't agree, we will continue to rob, and the robbery is not worth the money, we are not in a hurry." ”

This!

Why is this guy so vicious?

Keep grabbing, they can't stand it.

Zhao Quan said helplessly: "My lord, this grass man can't call the shots, the grass people have to go back and ask the Great Khan before they can give you an answer, my lord, can you wait a few days, and wait for the villain to go back and ask the Great Khan to talk to you." ”

Yang Cong nodded indifferently and said, "Yes, this official can give you five days to go back and ask you to ask the Great Khan." ”

Zhao Quan thought about it again, and then asked: "My lord, the grass people dare to ask again, how many war horses do you want us to compensate, 100,000 is impossible, and we don't have so many war horses in the Tatar Department at this time." ”

Yang Congyun said lightly: "Don't worry, this official also knows that it is impossible for you to take out 100,000 war horses at a time." However, you should be able to take out 50,000 horses, and as for the rest, you can pay slowly, 10,000 horses a year, not much, right? “

It's not much, you're just going to kill someone!

Zhao Quan thought about it again, and simply gritted his teeth and asked, "My lord, then how many years do you think it is appropriate to pay compensation later?" Five years? ”

Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the war horse, he still has to find out the bottom line of this Lord Yang first.

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help pinching his fingers and said: "This, you have to calculate it well, how many years have the Tartars been in my Ming Dynasty?" Well, at least more than a hundred years ago! In this way, remove the fraction, and it will be a hundred years. ”

A hundred years?

You can't figure it out!
