Chapter 593: Borrowing Gold
Chapter 593: Borrowing Gold
The emperor of this ally was stunned and asked:
"By the way, your emperor's handwritten letter didn't say when the lent gold would be returned? Did your emperor tell you when you could return the gold you lent? ”
As soon as the envoy of the Yan Kingdom heard the emperor of this ally country ask such a question, he was also immediately asked, and he was stunned and replied:
"Your Majesty, our emperor did not say a specific time to return the gold, however, our emperor said that as long as we wait for the national strength of our Yan country to recover some, as long as there is a stock in the treasury, I believe that we will be able to get together the borrowed gold soon, please rest assured that the emperor will be able to do this."
The emperor of this ally couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times, and then said:
"After all, this is five hundred taels of gold! It's not five hundred taels of silver, but this is my country's savings for many years! Your Yan Kingdom is in trouble now, and I should take half of it out and lend it to your Yan Kingdom, but after all, this is a loan, and it's not a gift, right! So, I think there should be an accurate time to return the gold. ”
The envoy of the Yan State suddenly felt a tightening heart, he originally thought that the emperor of the allied country would lend the five hundred taels of gold to the Yan State without slackness, but he did not expect that the emperor of the allied country would propose that the Yan State should give a specific time for the return of the gold, which made the envoy of the Yan State suddenly make it difficult, after all, he himself was not the emperor of the Yan State, and he did not know when the Yan State could make up the five hundred taels of gold and return it to the ally.
Seeing that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom was a little embarrassed and entangled, the emperor of this allied country also breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly:
"Don't be too entangled, Lord Envoy, I also know that you are just a messenger sent by Yan Kingdom, you are not the emperor of Yan Kingdom, and you can't be any master, since your emperor has not clearly stated the specific time for returning the gold, then I said a deadline for your Yan Kingdom to return five hundred taels of gold, what do you think? In this way, there will be no delay in transporting the five hundred taels of gold back to the Yan Kingdom, nor will there be any delay. ”
After all, the time limit for returning the gold said by the emperor of the allied country is too short, and after he returns to the Yan country, the emperor of the Yan country will also worry about this matter, so, out of selfishness, the envoy of the Yan country hopes that the emperor of the allied country will return the five hundred taels of gold as long as possible.
After pondering for a moment, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom also immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Then I don't know how long the emperor wants to set a long deadline?"
The emperor of this ally also hesitated for a moment, calculated in his heart for a while, and then said slowly:
"The time limit I set is one year, what do you think, Lord Emissary?"
When the envoy of the Yan Kingdom heard that the emperor of the allied country had set a one-year deadline for the return of five hundred taels of gold, he also choked up suddenly, and then said seriously:
"Your Majesty, now, our Yan Kingdom is in trouble, this natural disaster is also a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, as for when our Yan Kingdom can make up five hundred taels of gold to return to the allies, this lower official is also difficult to deduce, however, the lower official feels that the emperor will set the deadline for the return of gold to one year, which is really a little too reluctant, the lower official hopes that the emperor can extend the deadline a little more, and please ask the emperor to be more merciful, in short, our Yan Kingdom will definitely return the five hundred taels of gold borrowed in the future, please let the emperor put ten thousand hearts."
When the emperor of this allied country heard the envoy of the Yan country say this, he was also stunned, gasped and went in, and also said:
"I don't believe in the emperor of your Yan Kingdom, and I'm not afraid that your Yan Kingdom won't be able to pay the five hundred taels of gold, but my country is also a small country, maybe it also needs an urgent need or something, when the time comes, your Yan Kingdom will not be able to get this gold, then I will not be very embarrassed at that time!"
When the envoy of the Yan Kingdom heard the emperor of this ally country say this, he also frowned and said:
"Your Majesty, you understand what you said about these lower officials, and you understand it very well, do you think this will work, after all, the lower officials are also courtiers, and they can't replace our emperor as the master, the lower officials think so, you first give the one-year period to be accommodating, do you think one and a half years is it? In other words, as long as our Yan country has sufficient treasury inventory, we will return the five hundred taels of gold as soon as possible. ”
After the emperor of this allied country listened to the advice of the envoy of the Yan country, he was also stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, he said:
"A year and a half to return! Originally, I didn't want to embarrass you and your Yan Kingdom, but it seems that we are all allies, so I will make an exception and give you Yan Kingdom a period of one and a half years to return the five hundred taels of gold lent to your Yan Kingdom. ”
When the envoy of the Yan Kingdom heard that the emperor of the allied country was willing to accept his suggestion, he suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said happily with his fists:
"It's so good, thank you for the emperor's kindness, the emperor is so affectionate, and the lower officials are really moved!"
The emperor of this allied country also smiled and said:
"Okay, the envoy doesn't want to pat me on the back, as long as I can help your Yan Kingdom, I am willing to do it."
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also immediately clasped his fists and said with a serious face:
"Well, the lower officials are waiting for the emperor's order to mobilize five hundred taels of gold, and our emperor is still waiting for the gold to be sent back to Yan Country as soon as possible, so that it can be used for the post-disaster reconstruction of our Yan Kingdom."
The emperor of this ally also nodded and said:
"Okay, then I will order that five hundred taels of gold be transferred from the treasury immediately, and let the envoy take it away and transport it back to Yan Kingdom."
After speaking, the emperor of the allied country looked at the minister of the treasury of the allied country who was still waiting on the side, and ordered:
"I order, you immediately go to the treasury to transfer five hundred taels of gold, and then, give the full amount to the envoy of Yan Kingdom, and ask him to bring it back to Yan Country as soon as possible to relieve the disaster."
The minister in charge of the treasury of this allied country also immediately clasped his fist at the emperor of this allied country and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, the lower officials will go to the treasury and personally transfer five hundred taels of gold to the envoy of Yan State."
The emperor of this allied country also immediately said seriously to the envoy of the Yan country:
"Your Excellency, Messenger, you should quickly follow the minister in charge of the treasury to the treasury and take out five hundred taels of gold!"
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also nodded, and then bent down at the emperor of the allied country:
"Yes, Your Majesty, the lower officials thank Your Majesty again for your generosity in helping our Yan Kingdom."
The emperor of this ally also waved his sleeves and said:
"Go, after returning to Yan Kingdom, don't forget to tell your emperor that after a year and a half, you will return the five hundred taels of gold lent by our country."
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also responded:
"Please rest assured, after the lower officials return to Yan Kingdom, they will definitely tell our emperor the one-and-a-half-year deadline you set, so that our emperor will also have a bottom in his heart."
The minister in charge of the treasury of the allied country who was standing on the side also immediately clasped his fists at the envoy of the Yan country and said:
"Your Excellency, please come with me to the treasury to get the gold!"
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal the minister in charge of the treasury of the allied country to lead the way.
After finishing speaking, the minister in charge of the treasury of the allied country immediately led the envoy of the Yan country to the door of the emperor's bedroom of the allied country.
The emperor of this allied country looked at the minister in charge of the treasury under his command and the envoy of the Yan Kingdom walking quickly out of the door of his bedroom, and he also suddenly said with a tangled face:
"This Yan Kingdom has suddenly suffered a natural disaster that is rare in a thousand years! I don't know if these five hundred taels of gold can help your Yan Kingdom tide over the difficulties? Presumably, Yan Guo should also send envoys to other surrounding allies to borrow gold! ”
Stunned, the emperor of this ally also has a lot of question marks in his heart, after all, if Yan really suffers a serious natural disaster, then Yan Guo wants to get out of the predicament in a year and a half, it is also impossible, the five hundred taels of gold will be returned in a year and a half, and the heart of the emperor of this ally country will gradually be bottomless.
However, in any case, after all, he and Yan are allies, and the emperor of Yan is the leader of each alliance, so it is unreasonable to lend Yan no gold at all.
The emperor of this allied country also couldn't help but pray for Yan Guo from the bottom of his heart, hoping that Yan Guo could recover its national strength as soon as possible, rebuild the disaster-stricken places as soon as possible, and get out of the current difficult situation as soon as possible.
The minister in charge of the treasury of this allied country also quickly came to the treasury of this allied country with the envoy of the Yan country.
The minister in charge of the treasury of this allied country also turned around and hugged his fist at the envoy of the Yan country:
"Lord Messenger, this treasury has arrived, you can wait outside this treasury for a while, after I enter the treasury, I will count the amount of gold, and I will have people carry all of them to the carriage outside, and then it will not be too late for you to set off back to Yan Kingdom."
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also immediately clasped his fists and saluted back, saying:
"Okay, then please hurry into the treasury to count the amount of gold, and the official will wait outside the gate of this treasury, don't be in a hurry."
The minister in charge of the treasury of the allied country also nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll go to the treasury."
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also responded:
"Okay, my lord, go quickly."
After speaking, the minister in charge of the treasury of the allied country also turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the treasury of the allied country.
I saw that there were also many soldiers guarding inside and outside the treasury of this ally, and they were very majestic and heavily guarded.
After the allied minister in charge of the treasury entered the treasury, he immediately began to count the amount of five hundred taels of gold, and then asked several guards to begin to put the counted gold into the black wooden box.
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom had been waiting outside the gate of the treasury of the ally in this way, waiting with a carriage parked beside him.
After waiting for a while, I saw that some guards began to carry heavy boxes of gold and walked out of the gate of the Allied treasury.
When the envoy of the Yan Kingdom saw this, he was also very happy.
Two guards carried a box of gold to the back of the carriage, and then the two guards also struggled to carry the box to the carport behind the carriage.
Then, the guards in the back came out one by one carrying the boxes.
