182 Sudden change in style
"The matter is very serious, and the power in the hands of the lower officials cannot give you an accurate answer, so you need to go back and ask me to make a decision with Your Highness."
"Let the officials go back and ask for instructions, and please also ask your lords Haihan."
In the Hongtang military camp, the Burmese envoy came for three whole days, during which he was not idle for a moment except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, and was busy bargaining with the representatives of Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and discussing the terms of the contract.
"This is the right thing to do, and we look forward to the good news from the adults."
Although the status of a soldier made Tang Ren and them not interested in participating in the discussion with that ability, in order to put pressure on the other party, Shi Peicai, one of the four commanders of the army, still sat at the head of the hall as the chief negotiator, and spoke at this time to express his agreement with the other party's request.
"Then I don't know if Lord Shi can let all the heroes under his command stay calm and no longer make other moves before the lower officials come back, and it will also be convenient for the lower officials to run for this contract."
The Burmese civil official called Su Song, seeing Shi Peicai and the others at this time, looked very kind, and mustered up the courage to make a request.
"There is no problem with this, it's just the same, please also remind your lord after Lord Su Song goes back, it's best not to have idle people waiting for haunts within a radius of twenty miles, otherwise the group of hairy boys under the command of our army may not be able to stop it!"
Even when the two sides were negotiating and negotiating, the Hongtang army was not completely idle at night, and the daily sweeping work was still carried out, and the soldiers also knew that the good days of wantonly plundering local wealth like this would not be too long.
"That's that, my Highness will definitely restrain the soldiers and people below, and no longer wander in front of your lordships and cause misunderstandings."
On the surface, Su Song has a smiling face and only agrees to the reality, but his heart is full of sorrow and shame.
In this land, the place where they have always thought about the survival of the Burmese people has been slaughtered by this group of Han people, and all the goods that can be taken away are packed, and the land estates that cannot be taken away are distributed to the local poor people by the other party.
For a time, when the middle and high-level Burmese nobles and gentry were all in danger, the Burmese people at the bottom felt that this group of Han troops was not so fierce and hateful, but bought the hearts of many people.
When he came, he was silent, and when he went, he was also without a trace, after all, it was not a thing worth showing off, and it could even be said to be extremely humiliating, Su Song quietly took people like this, and disappeared in the dark night in front of him like a giant beast in the city of Ava, and then it was up to them to make the final choice in the court.
Tang Ren didn't care about the Burmese secret envoys who returned at this time, and the terms of the contract they brought with them would eventually bring to the Burmese Dynasty what kind of shock and waves they would bring, but they were sharing the benefits of this war with the representatives of Qixintang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce at this time.
"Let's talk about it first, these fifteen thousand middle-aged men are impossible to distribute to you, these people are already owned by my Hongmen, and even the families of these men, if there are in your hands, we also need to bring them back."
Even the seemingly poor and barren Kingdom of Burma, the total income of goods and materials accumulated from successive wars has even reached more than one million silver dollars. This is not counting those inestimable population bases, it can be said that the war launched by Hongmen not only did not suffer heavy losses like the war outside the Northeast Pass, but made a lot of money, which is really eye-catching.
For other goods and the like, Hongmen's demand is not too great, but for the important resource of population, Hongmen is extremely demanding, so at the beginning, Tang Ren spoke first and blocked all this opening, so that the representatives of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce had no chance before they had time to make their calculations.
"This is not good, Captain Tang, we have no credit and hard work along the way, so we have to leave us a soup to drink?"
The representatives of several firms, all with shy faces, bargained with Tang Ren, and the representatives of Qixintang, who got cheap, did not say a word at this time, and made a fortune in a muffled voice.
"There's no way, your businesses need population, and our Hongmen still needs population, but compared to the use of your businesses that need population, our Hongmen is to strengthen the entire team."
"Only when our Hongmen becomes strong and enriched, and you shopkeepers earn more money, your waist will be harder, isn't it?"
"Of course, we don't prohibit you from recruiting local natives in the surrounding tribes, villages and towns now! Anyway, before that, didn't all the shopkeepers hire workers and guys here? ”
Tang Ren shook his head and righteously rejected the other party's words, and did not give the other party any tone.
"Besides, this time with our team, everyone didn't make any less benefits at night, except for these things on the table, how many good things you have secretly won, we don't need to point it out!"
Waiting for the Burmese Dynasty to give a reply, many groups under the command of Hongmen have divided the various harvests of the past month, if the king of Talong, who is surrounded by emotions such as shame, anger and helplessness because of the contract brought back by Su Song, knows it, it is impossible to say that the other party will insist on going his own way, and Ning Yuan, as the lord of the lost country, is not willing to put the king's seal on such a treaty that humiliates the country.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people, no matter how much grievance King Helon hides in his heart and how much anger he holds, when seven or eight out of ten of the nobles and gentry in the whole country unanimously agree to the signing of this contract, Taron's various resistance and unwillingness are not so important.
Even if Talom was still the lord of the Kingdom of Burma at this time.
"My lord has agreed to this contract, and has put his seal on it, and I invite you to look at it."
Su Song's heart was extremely bitter, but on the contrary, he had to wear that friendly and enthusiastic smile on his face, even if the terms in his hand made his family also lose a lot, he could only accompany the smiling face, and respectfully presented his hands to Tang Ren and them.
"Well, that's good!"
Tang Ren took the contract and read it carefully, the contents of the words written on it in black and white made him feel extremely comfortable, but he quickly returned it to Su Song.
"Since this contract has been stamped with the seal of the king of your country, it should also be presented by the lord of your country himself!"
The sudden change in the style of painting suddenly made Su Song stunned on the spot, followed by irrepressible anger and sorrow: "You, how dare you insult the lord of our dynasty so much, and the officials of our dynasty still think that the state of Chinese civilization and etiquette is nothing more than that!" ”
