Chapter Ninety-Eight: Indemnity for Land Cession
Before Du He's words fell, he saw Wang Qi and the others on the opposite side standing up excitedly.
"Impossible!"
"It's blackmail!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid that the silver in Chang'an City will not be so much!"
"Besides, this thousand acres of land is impossible!"
The crowd was indignant, and they all felt that Du He's conditions were too much.
Especially this silver tael.
In this era, silver has not yet been widely circulated, and all that is in circulation are copper coins, and silver is still a rare and precious thing.
It is simply impossible to come up with ten thousand taels of silver.
Even Hou Junji and the others looked at Du He in surprise.
This guy's appetite is so big?
Is this still a fifteen-year-old?
It's horrible.
Fang Xuanling immediately secretly decided that after going back, he must educate Fang Xuanling well, and he must not provoke Du He.
At this time, I saw Du He suddenly stand up and shouted: "Shut up for Young Master Ben, don't talk about it, if you don't want to talk about it, then I'll go to sleep, woo......"
With that, Duhe was leaving.
Wang Jue and the others were anxious when they saw it.
Wang Jue hurriedly shouted: "Du Gongzi stayed, it's not that we don't want to negotiate, it's just that this condition is too harsh." Especially this 10,000 taels of silver, I really can't take it out, there are thousands of acres of land, we are all officials of the imperial court, there is a lot of land, but almost all of them are land rewarded by His Majesty, which cannot be bought and sold and given away casually, this ...... How good is that? ”
Kong Yingda also said: "Du Gongzi, can you change the conditions, these conditions, we are not unacceptable, it is really impossible to do it." ”
Chen Shuda added: "Du Gongzi, my Chen family ancestor also has a lot of land, but now it is gone, do you think this condition can be changed?" ”
At this time, Li Daozong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also helped and said: "Duhe, I think what everyone said makes sense. ”
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Daozong dissatisfiedly: "Lord Li, this is at the negotiation table, please call the representative of Party A." ”
Li Daozong: "......"
Li Daozong said helplessly: "Representative of Party A, I think what Party B said is reasonable. ”
Seeing this, Du He smiled: "Look at what excites you, negotiation and negotiation, that is, you come and go, since you think it is not possible, then talk again, when it comes to when, both sides can accept, then this negotiation will become, if everyone does not accept it, it will naturally fail, it's as simple as that......"
So, everyone sat down and continued to talk.
……
East Palace.
Li Chengqian stood in the back garden.
The peach and willow green in this garden made him not happy at all.
Changsun Chong and the others stood aside, all silent and did not dare to speak.
In this incident, Li Chengqian thought that he could teach Du He a lesson and avenge the beating in the Laiguo Mansion that day, but he didn't know that things would come to this point.
His henchman Jiang Xian was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and he will be sent to Lingnan soon.
And he, who was grounded for three months, needs to think about it.
Li Chengqian roared angrily: "Why, why, this palace is the crown prince, and this palace is the biological son of the father, but why does the father want to help Du He?" ”
A continuous drizzle fell.
No one can answer Li Chengqian's question.
At this time, the crown prince Zhan Shi Zhang Xuansu walked over in small steps.
He looked at the weak and helpless Li Chengqian and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to defeat Du He completely?" ”
Li Chengqian turned around, anger in his eyes: "Of course, this palace is eager to let Du He die now." ”
Zhang Xuansu said lightly: "A weak raccoon cat, but it is impossible to defeat a lone wolf." ”
Li Chengqian was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please give me advice." ”
Zhang Xuansu glanced at Changsun Chong and the others.
Li Chengqian immediately said with a straight face: "Wait, go down first." I have something to discuss with my husband. ”
Changsun Chong and the others hurriedly slipped away.
The crown prince Li Chengqian has two teachers, one is the prince's right concubine Kong Yingda, and the other is the prince Zhan Shi Zhang Xuansu.
Kong Yingda is a master of Confucianism.
But Zhang Xuansu gives people the feeling that he is both righteous and evil, and his style of action is known for his viciousness.
After all, this guy had worked under Li Mi in Wagangzhai at the beginning.
Li Er thought that the prince's personality was too weak, so he asked Zhang Xuansu to teach Li Chengqian at the same time.
After the eldest Sun Chong and the others left, Zhang Xuansu said slowly: "Your Highness, although you are strong now, what you do is no different from a cat, and Na Duhe, although weak, but looking at his style of acting, he is like a lone wolf, the difference between a lone wolf and a night cat is that no one will mess with a lone wolf......
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What does Mr. mean......"
Zhang Xuansu said coldly: "Wait for the opportunity, and hurt Du He in one fell swoop!" Let this lone wolf know that you are not a cat, you are a tiger......"
"Listen to Mr. All......
Li Chengqian said heartily.
……
Datang Furniture Factory.
Negotiations have come to an end.
The rain became heavier, but the quarrels grew more and more intense.
"Duhe, you are shameless!"
"Who do you say, old horseman!"
"Duhe, you've gone too far."
"Old miscellaneous Mao Hugh wants to talk nonsense!"
All kinds of insults are endless.
At first, Qin Qiong would knock on the table to remind Du He not to explode foul language, but later he simply didn't bother to care.
The whole process was Du He alone, scolding more than 20 people including Wang Jue.
It's a pity that these more than 20 people all hold their own identities, and they can't scold Duhe.
It took three hours for the negotiations to end.
Du He sat on the revolving wooden chair, put his feet on the table, and sneered: "Finally, I will give you a chance, cut the land, 500 acres of land, 50 acres on the edge of the Baqiao, must be allocated to me, others, 50 acres of high-grade fertile land, must be around Chang'an City, medium fields, 100 acres, others, it doesn't matter, even if it is a wasteland in the mountains and forests, Young Master Ben doesn't care." ”
"Indemnity, 2,000 taels of silver, can be paid in two years, and sent to Datang Furniture Factory in equal parts every month, or, 1,000 taels of silver, given at one time, you can choose one by yourself."
Du He threw away the pen, stood up, and said, "Agree or not, give a happy word." ”
After this scolding, everyone has a clearer understanding of Du He's strength.
This guy is young, but his temper is bigger than Cheng Biting Jin.
Wang Qi and the others glanced at each other, and finally nodded almost at the same time.
You Wang Jue stood up and said, "Okay, we agree to your conditions, 1,000 taels of silver, paid at once." ”
Du He smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Zhang Du: "Draw up the treaty immediately, sign it, if anyone dares to cheat, I Du He will kill him." ”
The crowd was so frightened that they took a step back.
Cheng bit Jin and smacked his lips, "Why do I feel that this kid is more domineering than when I was young." ”
Du He smiled: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. ”
Everyone: "......"
In a short time, the treaty of land cession and indemnity was prepared.
