"Don't worry, Master Ben hasn't finished speaking yet." Lin Yi saw that Zhang Xianzhong agreed very happily, and he felt more confident in his heart.

The dignified famous general Li Dingguo, can he change a mere 50,000 taels? The big head is still behind!

As a special soldier in later generations, Lin Yi also has the knowledge of public relations negotiation.

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned, "What else does Lord Lin have to say?" ”

Lin Yi said: "Li Dingguo and Li Guo's father and son are the same price, both of which are 50,000 taels of silver. But the difference between them is that Li Guo and his son did not stay in my military camp for two days, while Li Dingguo stayed in my camp for more than a month. Lin also has to send people to guard him, from Xiangyang to Jingzhou, the mountains and rivers are all the way, such a long distance, loaded with prisoner cars and wooden cages to transport here, which also consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, not to mention anything else, this food is too expensive, Jing Xuan also knows, years of famine, food is now a grain of pearls, this more than a month of eating, drinking, Lasa, and live, plus there is a special person to serve his food, drink and Lasa, when he is sick, he has to have a doctor to look and hear, these doctors' food, drink and Lasa live, so that a day is how much silver you get to live in the hotel, you can calculate it yourself, The military camp of this Taishi is not a hotel, it is much more expensive than a hotel, and after more than a month, the cost of this aspect alone will cost more than 77.49 million taels of silver, plus other expenses, just press 100,000 silver, and then add up to these 50,000, all of which are converted together Lin Mou has already calculated it, that is, 643,218 taels of silver, no odds, a total of 640,000 taels of silver. ”

Lin Yi's Zhang Xianzhong, who had made this calculation, blinked his eyes, and he didn't expect that there would be so much silver behind the 50,000 taels of silver. How many 50,000 taels is this?

Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, Pan Duxi, Xu Yixian, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing, Liu Jinzhong, etc. around Zhang Xianzhong are also grinning, this kid is poor and crazy, right? First said that it would cost 50,000 taels, and now it will cost 640,000 taels, which is really a lion's mouth!

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe beside Lin Yi pursed their lips and tightened their faces, thinking about it but not daring to be happy, secretly saying that Brother Lin is really good at doing business, careful planning, and a peerless good man in the future.

Hao Shaoqi, Zu Keyong, Zhang Hua and others also couldn't help laughing, our little master is really good at slandering, 50,000 taels of silver suddenly turned to 640,000 taels, I don't know if it will be turned again.

Others are worried that Zhang Xianzhong, the unjust boss, can give so much silver, and does he have so much money? 640,000 taels, that's silver! If the bow is too full and broken, won't the chicken fly and the egg will fall into the field?

Zhang Xianzhong is really not a fool, now he feels that he has been fooled, Lin Yi first put a maze array for him, he thinks it is quite cheap, you must know that this is the case, you must not agree so refreshingly. This kid surnamed Lin is so ghostly, he even asked for 640,000 taels of silver, it's like drinking blood!

This is not Zhang Xianzhong's stinginess, the annual income of the whole country in the last year of the Ming Dynasty was only tens of millions of taels of silver, 640,000 taels of silver, which is definitely a huge amount of money, which is roughly equivalent to the annual food and salary expenses of 100,000 troops.

Don't look at Zhang Xianzhong's wealth, now all the silver in Zhang Xianzhong's hand is collected in one piece, and it is only 1 million taels, and he wants to give most of the silver to Lin Yi, will the hundreds of thousands of horses under him drink the northwest wind?

Zhang Xianzhong hesitated, Lin Yi said: "Zhang Jingxuan, if you think this deal is not cost-effective, it doesn't matter, it's too late to regret it now, it's a big deal that the Taishi sent someone to escort Li Dingguo to the Beijing Division and hand it over to the emperor, the emperor is longyan and happy, the reward is indispensable, and fame and fortune are also good, why be so reluctant and embarrassed?"

"Hahaha," Zhang Xianzhong laughed, "Lord Lin, you also underestimate me Zhang Jingxuan, isn't it 640,000 taels of silver?" Let's finish it this time, as long as you hand over Li Dingguo to me unscathed, 640,000 taels of silver and a tael of silver will not be missing you. ”

Lin Yi secretly admired in his heart, Zhang Xianzhong really lived up to his reputation, he had a chivalrous chest and an emperor's arms. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. If it weren't for me, Lin Yi, who couldn't bear to harm Li Dingguo, and it was impossible for him to surrender now, a general like Li Dingguo, let alone 640,000 taels of silver, you would be 6.4 million taels of silver, and I, Lin Yi, wouldn't be able to exchange it with you.

Now I have no choice but to fight an economic war for Lao Zhang, just like Li Guo and Li Laiheng, the father and son under Li Zicheng, who can't bear to harm him, and refuses to surrender, there are costs and risks to raise him, so it is better to let him go and exchange some silver flowers.

Lin Yi nodded, "Okay, it's really a refreshing person." 640,000 taels of silver, in exchange for the prisoner Li Dingguo, deal! ”

At this time, the strategist Xu Yixian touched Zhang Xianzhong and gave him a look, Zhang Xianzhong understood, and said to Lin Yi: "But Lord Lin's 640,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, so you have to raise it, and after three days, how about you release you if I pay the silver?"

Lin Yi said: "Three days is three days." But we have to talk about the ugly things to the front, if you want to have a bright plank road or something during this period, then don't blame me Lin Yi didn't remind you, Lin Mou will directly tear up the ticket and kill people! When the time comes, I am afraid it will not be your turn to collect Li Dingguo's body. ”

Zhang Xianzhong patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Hehe, Lord Lin laughed." What kind of person am I, Zhang Jingxuan, I must have heard of it, and my words have always counted. ”

"Hehe," Lin Yi also smiled when he heard this, "Of course Lin has heard of Zhang Jingxuan's name, but he has also heard the story of Your Excellency's Carriage Gorge and Gucheng Uprising. I hope that this time the exchange of silver for prisoners in Jingzhou City is not a joke. ”

As soon as Lin Yi said this, Zhang Xianzhong's yellow face immediately turned red, and the color was almost the same as Guan Yunchang's face.

Because the uprisings in Carriage Gorge and Gucheng mentioned by Lin Yi were all used by him Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others to deceive the court and the official army. After surrendering, they turned against the water, and after they surrendered again, their faces were faster than chameleons, and they played the officials and the Chongzhen Emperor as monkeys.

Now that Lin Yi said it in front of so many people, Zhang Xianzhong felt as if he had been exposed in public, and then thinking about the promise he made just now, he felt like he was pulling his own face.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's advisor Pan Duxi saw that Zhang Xianzhong was very embarrassed, and took over the words, "What Lord Lin said is all things of the past, how can it be compared with today's things, this time and that time, it can't be the same day, in broad daylight, everyone is watching, since our prince said it, it will definitely count." ”

"Okay, Lin also believes that this is Zhang Jingxuan, and he will definitely believe it, so let's meet here at this time in three days." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand to the back, "Collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

Lin Yi left with his own people.

Looking at the soldiers under the city, retreating like a tide, Lin Yi's figure and Li Dingguo's shadow in the prisoner car were also blurred, and finally disappeared, Zhang Xianzhong stood at the head of the city, silent for a long time.

"Lord Wang, do you really plan to give the surname Lin 640,000 taels of silver in three days?" Pan Duxi said.

"Let's get the people out first, what's the solution?" Zhang Xianzhong said and let out a long sigh.

"Of course, it is important to save people, not to mention 640,000 taels of silver, even if he wants 1 million, he has to give it. The subordinates mean that we can't just cheapen the surname Lin, and after rescuing the commander Li Dingguo, we have to find a way to get the 640,000 taels of silver back, otherwise the food and salary in our army will not be able to support it for many days. ”

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up, "Of course it's better to get it back, what do you think?" ”

Pan Duxi said: "The prince didn't dare to be, with the plan of his subordinates, we immediately sent people to spread the news, the focus was to rush to Jingshi and Luoyang, and immediately spread the news of Lin Yi and us, as well as Zicheng, exchanging silver for prisoners, to the ears of Yanjing and Yang Sichang." Let's just say that Lin Yi is bold, and he dares to exchange silver flowers with felons from the court, colluding with bandits for personal gain, and has a heart of disobedience. The surname Lin must be burned, after the court is angry, he will definitely be transferred back to treat his crimes, we will go out of the city to chase and kill, this silver is still ours, by then it will not be just 640,000 taels, eat it, you have to let the surname Lin spit it out! ”

"Sure enough, it's a good plan, just take Mr." Zhang Xianzhong immediately arranged it......

After Lin Yi took Li Dingguo and others to collect troops and return to the camp, Hao Shaoqi, Zu Keyong and others came to Lin Yi's camp tent to discuss matters.

"Taishi, after 3 days, will Zhang Xianzhong honestly pay the silver to ransom people?" Hao Shaoqi said worriedly.

Lin Yi smiled, "Hehe, call you so, I think I'm old, in front of Zhang Xianzhong, I deliberately became a master myself, and when I return to the camp, we don't have to be so polite, let's call me a big commander." ”

"No, Great Commander." Hao Shaoqi hurriedly changed his tune.

Lin Yi felt that it was still pleasing to the ear, "Zhang Xianzhong will definitely not dare to play tricks this time, because the hostages are in our hands, unless he really doesn't want this godson, what is the relationship between their godson and son, Lin doesn't know, but Li Dingguo is an enemy of 10,000 people, Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand man, Zhang Xianzhong must be reluctant, besides, he can afford 640,000 taels of silver now." ”

Zu Keyong said: "The Great Commander is reasonable, and I also feel that the 640,000 taels of silver will definitely arrive in three days, but it is unknown whether they will have any conspiracy and tricks at that time." Zhang Xianzhong and these people are all thieves, and when dealing with these thieves, we should be more careful so as not to be deceived. ”

Lin Yi said: "What my grandfather said is reasonable. However, after the silver was replaced, even if he Zhang Xianzhong didn't play any tricks or conspiracy, Lin couldn't finish settling with him, and he had to beat him up if he took his silver. I, Lin Yi, still have to take his Jingzhou, if he has any tricks, let him do it! ”

When Lin Yi said this, he laughed loudly.

On the third watch day of the night, in the city of Jingzhou, some eloquent people were quietly released, these people were dressed in black, and after leaving Jingzhou, they went to Luoyang and Shangjing with enough silver taels......

Three days is a very short time, a short blink of an eye, because in addition to practicing martial arts every day, Lin Yi has been drinking and meat, singing and dancing in the camp, and his life is very nourishing.

Accompanied by Xiaoying and Zhezhe, the whole body was neatly draped, covered with soft armor, leaving Zu Keyong to lead the soldiers and horses to guard the camp, Lin Yi and Hao Shaoqi lit 20,000 horses, with enough carriages and horses, escorted Li Dingguo, and went out of the camp gate to Chen Bing on the moat again.

At this time, the suspension bridge of Jingzhou City was lowered, the jack gate was twisted, the city gate was opened, Zhang Xianzhong took Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi, and rushed out of the city with countless people, and then a long snake formation pressed the formation, the two sides were hundreds of meters apart, and Lin Yi's men and horses lined up.
