Chapter 112: Conditions (Unbanning Chapter)
Mo Jianlian chatted happily with Fang Zheng, the two talked about astronomy and geography all the way to the national economy and people's livelihood, Fang Zheng was not good in all aspects, but he could interject a few words no matter what the topic, and sometimes he could use modern knowledge to eliminate the illiteracy of this ancient national teacher, of course, the two were not completely harmonious, and there were still differences in some places. For example, with geographical knowledge, the national teacher can't imagine that this world is actually a round ball, and everyone lives on the ball.
"How is that possible? What should I do if I fall off? The national teacher was full of disapproval.
Fang Zheng scratched his head, how to explain gravity to this girl? Newton was hit in the head by an apple?
"Once upon a time, there was a child surnamed Niu who liked to sit under the apple tree and read a book......
Fang Zheng told this well-known story at home and abroad with emotion, and then looked at the national teacher with an expectant expression: "We live on the ball and don't fall, that's the reason, do you understand?" ”
The national teacher spread his hands puzzled: "The child of the Niu family was hit on the head by an apple while sitting under the tree, it can only be said that the child is unlucky, what does it have to do with our life on the ball?" ”
"Then why do apples have to fall down? Why didn't it float to the sky? Why don't you drop aside? That is to say, the ball we live in has a gravitational pull and can firmly absorb anything......" Fang Zheng adheres to the idea of "not abandoning and not giving up", and is kind to the stupid student of the national teacher.
The national teacher looked at Fang Zheng fixedly, his eyes were like looking at an idiot: "Lord Fang, how all things live is arranged by the true gods, just like people walking on the ground, fish swimming in the water, and eagles soaring in the sky, how can you say that this ball sucks everything?" There's no such thing at all. ”
Foolishness! Fang Zheng looked at Mo Jianlian sadly, he really couldn't communicate with these ancient people, he wasn't at the same level at all.
Knocking on the table impatiently, Fang Zheng was a little annoyed: "Hey, don't go off-topic, we're here to negotiate today, how did we get to the ball?" It's really weird, we have to set a rule for meetings in the future, and we are not allowed to say anything that has nothing to do with the topic. - Really, not serious at all......"
Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this unobtrusive Lord Fang, didn't you pull out the topic of that ball yourself?
Mo Jianlian and Dattata glanced at each other, and felt that this Hua Dynasty man was really unreasonable, unlearned, and did not know how to pretend to understand. For the first time, the two hostile Turkic emissaries agreed on this point with their eyes.
As a result, the small talk before the start of the negotiation ended with the unilateral mood of Lord Fang, the envoy of the Hua Dynasty, which broke up unhappily, and everyone began formal negotiations.
After hearing Lu Hongwen's translation, Dattata came to his senses at this time, slapped his palm on the table, and said a few Turkic words loudly, Lu Hongwen translated: "Dattata said that they are the greatest Khan of the steppe, and our Hua Dynasty should form an alliance with them and expel Mojilian." ”
Mo Jianlian was already furious, and when he heard this, he slapped the table and quarreled loudly with Dattata. The old man looked elegant and elegant, but when he quarreled, he looked different, his hair and beard stood up, and the fierceness in his eyes made people shudder.
Fang Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, this is what he wants. Don't you quarrel with Young Master Ben, where will you go to get rich?
"Hey, two noble envoys, don't quarrel, can you be quiet? When we finish talking, you go outside to make noise, this is a place for meditation room cultivation, and it is not appropriate to add to the violent atmosphere. Fang Zheng pretended to persuade on the side.
Mo Jianlian and Dattata glared at each other fiercely, and sat down angrily.
"The two noble envoys are angry, and it makes me very embarrassed that you are arguing like this." Fang Zheng smiled and made a peacemaker, "Who is my Hua Dynasty allied with, this is not a good thing to talk about in a few words, what about you, you can say the conditions first, and then I will talk about our conditions, seek common ground while reserving differences, and then discuss slowly, how about it?" ”
Silent and Dattata both nodded.
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "That's right, how good is a group of harmony, national teacher, you are older than Datata, according to the tradition of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous in our Hua Dynasty, you can talk about your conditions first." ”
Mo Jianlian glanced at Datata, and said in a flat tone: "My great bone Khan said that if your country is allied with us, then he can promise never to use a single soldier against your country for ten years, and he is willing to snatch the ...... from your country over the years Well, please return the women, children, and laborers of the Chinese Dynasty who have been guests in the grasslands, and I am willing to compensate your country with one million taels of silver to compensate for the losses caused by the years of war waged against your country. ”
Fang Zheng blinked: "That's it?" ”
Mo Jianlian nodded: "Yes." ”
Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "National teacher, you are too stingy, what is your condition called an alliance, it is clearly a charity to my Hua Dynasty." If I form an alliance with Datata and them, whether your Khan can keep the throne of the Khan of Gulu can be maintained, why do you say that you will not use force against our Chinese Dynasty for ten years? Also, the women, children, and laborers you stole from our Hua Dynasty were originally ours, and you are so embarrassed to take this as a condition, and only return 'a part'. Not to mention a million taels of silver, I'm ashamed of you, how many gold and silver treasures have you Turks stolen from my Hua Dynasty over the years? There are always tens of millions of taels, right? It's good for you, pay a million taels, national teacher, national teacher, alas! What do you tell me to say? If you can only come up with these few conditions......"
Saying that, Fang Zheng shook his head with a smile and didn't continue.
Mo Jianlian's face turned red when Fang Zheng said it, and he coughed twice and said: "Lord Fang, this is a negotiation, the conditions need to be negotiated slowly by both parties, you can talk about the conditions of your country......"
Fang Zheng didn't answer Mo Jianlian's words, turned his head and looked at Datata with a smile: "You can tell me about your conditions." ”
Dattata learned through the interpreter that Mo Jianlian was deflated, and he was so happy that he was overjoyed on the sidelines, and when he heard Fang Zheng say that it was his turn to make conditions, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
Fang Zheng stopped with a smile: "Let's say okay first, if your conditions are half a catty and eight taels with this national teacher, then don't open this mouth, you are embarrassed to say, I am embarrassed to listen." ”
Seeing Mo Jianlian sitting on the side with a depressed expression, Fang Zheng hurriedly comforted him: "National teacher, don't be discouraged, you didn't play very well just now, what about me, just treat it as if I didn't hear it, I'll give you another chance later, you can think about it again, think about it and then talk about it, remember, you can't play like that just now." ”
After speaking, Fang Zheng patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "I look good at you." ”
Mo Jianlian was secretly annoyed when he heard this, this hairy boy with a smooth tone and no seriousness actually said that I was a child's play! I don't know who took such an important state issue as a child's play.
Dattata was about to speak, but after hearing Fang Zheng's words, he began to hesitate again. Yes, his conditions are indeed similar to Mo Jianlian, Fang Zheng blocked him like this, Dattata couldn't help but think, this kid has said everything, if he doesn't add more, I'm afraid that the alliance will be in vain. Thinking of the violent and bloodthirsty nature of the Mosi Khan in the distant steppe, Dattata couldn't help but shudder, if the mission could not be completed, his life would be completely over.
The two envoys were silent, Fang Zheng saw that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and twisted his body uncomfortably, he felt that at this time, he should find a less serious topic to liven up the atmosphere and rest his brain. Didn't Lenin, the revolutionary teacher, say it? "If you don't rest, you won't have fun."
"Master Guoshi, the scenery on the grassland is good, right?" Fang Zheng began to have nothing to say.
Mo Jianlian nodded sullenly.
"Then why do you always hear that your herdsmen don't have enough food and clothing?"
Mo Jian glanced at him: "We herdsmen don't farm, we only raise cattle and sheep, there are too many natural disasters and climates on the grassland, ice and snow, and strong winds are our natural enemies." ”
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "You guys are asking for food with a cornucopia." In fact, there are a lot of advantages you can take advantage of, so why do you have to come to our Huachao to grab things? ”
Mo Jianlian was stunned and said, "I don't know what Lord Fang meant? ”
Fang Zheng patted his thigh and said: "If you don't use force with our Hua Dynasty, you can completely develop the grassland into a tourist area, we can mobilize the rich people of the Hua Dynasty to travel to you, ride horses, play bonfires, and sleep with Turkic girls...... You will make a lot of money, so why bother to fight around? ”
Ignoring the stunned eyes of the two envoys, Fang Zheng continued: "If you earn silver, you can use it to exchange it for food on the border between China and Korea, and you won't be afraid of starvation when there is a natural disaster, how good, so you Turks are just dead-eyed, always thinking about fighting, in fact, if you don't fight, you will get more benefits......
Mo Jianlian and Dattata glanced at each other, and once again reached a consensus: Is there something wrong with this Master Fang's brain? How could the Emperor of the Hua Dynasty send such a person to negotiate with us?
Fang Zheng continued to help them come up with ideas: "You can also do a lot of activities to attract customers, such as wrestling competitions or something, by the way, how do you people on the grassland wrestle?" Is it shaking your arms and shaking for a long time? ”
Dattata heard the interpreter say that the wrestling had finally come to his senses, and he chirped excitedly when he heard it.
Lu Hongwen said: "He said that the men on the grassland are the bravest and toughest, wrestling is their regular activity, generally the two tribes select the most powerful warriors, with cattle and sheep as a bet, everyone gathered around to cheer them up, two warriors bent down and put their hands on each other's shoulders, so they did ......"
Fang Zheng was taken aback: "...... What did you do? ”
Lu Hongwen nodded: "Yes, it's done." ”
Fang Zheng said to Datata with admiration on his face: "You men on the grassland are too kind! It's a pioneer who backs the mountain! Tell me more about it, how did the two big men do it? Aren't they shy when so many people watch? ”
