Chapter Eighty-Four: Helpless Substitute Kindness

Dai Shan's personal arrival surprised Sony for a while, and after a while, Dai Shan was not verbose, and asked directly: "How is the situation?" What's the progress? ”

When Sony heard Dai Shan ask this, he showed a helpless expression and said, "Back to Lord Belle!" It's not easy to do! Now this Ming official is really true. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info. . . Alas! I don't know what to say! ”

Dai Shan showed a puzzled look and asked, "What?" These officials are insatiable? Take advantage of the opportunity for extortion? ”

Sonny shook his head and said, "Not really! It's just that they only collect money and don't do anything, they invite them to the banquet, they will be happy, and the banquet is also a package ticket and says that there is no problem, and the gifts given are also accepted, but there is no movement at all! The officials who had a good relationship with my Dajin before have now been dismissed, and the officials of the Ming Kingdom seem to have carried out a major purge! ”

"This new emperor of the Ming Kingdom has such great ability to carry out a great purge? Isn't he afraid of the rebellion of these officials? Has anything changed in the Ming Kingdom? Dai Shan asked.

Sonny pursed his lips and sighed: "In the past, many people of the Ming Kingdom showed fear and fear in their eyes when they saw us, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were also polite to us, but now those people of the Ming Kingdom see us, as if they want to take up arms to fight with us, and those officials, all of them are arrogant to us, and they look like they ignore us, it is estimated that if it is not for the face of this silver, it is difficult to see them!" ”

Dai Shan frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"

Sony thought for a while and continued: "Recently, the Ming Kingdom seems to be carrying out some major reforms, the most obvious thing in front of me seems to be this land reform, this reform seems to have received strong support from the people of the Ming Kingdom, and when Lord Belle came, he should have noticed that there is a big construction site outside, it seems to be building some cement road, I heard that the road is not invaded by fire and water, even if it rains on a rainy day, it is the same as the flat road, if the whole country of Daming is like this road in the future, then whether it is a commercial or military impact, presumably Lord Belle should understand!" ”

"Cement road?! So amazing? Can you find a way to get some?! Of course, Dai Shan understands the stakes.

Sony shook his head and said: "This thing is now very restricted by the Ming Kingdom, there is no channel at all, I have already understood this!" Now the prestige of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is getting higher and higher, and he has been supported by the people and the Ming soldiers, which is very unfavorable to our Dajin! And I listened to the discussions of the people of Daming and the revelations of some officials, and now the firearms of Daming are getting stronger and stronger, although I haven't seen it, but I can't help but guard against it! ”

Dai Shan nodded, the wrinkles on his brows became deeper and deeper, and then said: "The situation is roughly understood, let's talk about the most important thing, who is the main official of the Ming Dynasty who is currently in charge of this matter?" ”

Sonny said: "Back to Lord Belle! The main person in charge of this matter is Li Yangde, the secretary of their Ministry of Rites! This person is a bit stubborn, and he is not moved by money, I sent five thousand taels of silver and was all returned, and I went there a few times in person, but he just stuck to the conditions they originally offered and refused to back down! Alas! Lord Belle! I don't know what the Great Khan said? ”

Dai Shan didn't speak, handed him a document and said, "Take a look!" ”

Sonny opened the document and browsed it, and after a while, he closed the document and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to discuss, but with the Khan's paperwork, we have a corresponding goal for negotiation!" ”

Dai Shan nodded, leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, "That's it!" I'm going to meet this Li Yangde tomorrow! Sonny nodded and went to make arrangements!

On the second day, Dai Shan dressed neatly, brought the best ginseng brought from Dajin Country to see Li Yangde, and soon saw Li Yangde in the Ministry of Rites, the two greeted each other and sat down, and the descendants smiled and took the box to Li Yangde and said: "Lord Li! This is the best ginseng I brought from Dajin Kingdom, it is very good for you to Master Li, a little heart, please smile! ”

Li Yangde nodded with a smile and said, "If you don't accept it, it seems a little rude, since that's the case, thank you very much!" ”

Dai Shan smiled and said, "It's good if Master Li likes it!"

Li Yangde smiled and said, "Come on!" Drink tea! Saying that, the two began to chat while drinking tea, all the trivial things of life, the two were like friends who hadn't seen each other for decades, chatting about quite speculation, Sony who was standing on the side was still speechless, Lord Belle! Are you here to have a family affair with Master Li?

After the two chatted for nearly an hour, Li Yangde smiled and waved his hand: "I don't want you to come today to be a family with the old man!" Let's get down to business! ”

Dai Shan smiled and said, "Lord Li is wise! Before we talk, can you show us how our people are doing? ”

Li Yangde nodded, commanded, and soon the two Dajin warriors were escorted up, although they were tied, but they should know that they should be good by looking at their blood and blood, Dai Shan nodded with satisfaction, it seems that these Ming people did not abuse their compatriots, after the people were taken down, Li Yangde smiled and said: "You hurry up and redeem them!" You must know that we can't afford to serve this big fish and meat every day! ”

Dai Shan also smiled: "We want to redeem it now, but your offer is too high!" Our Dajin Kingdom really can't afford this silver! ”

Li Yangde said: "Then how much can you produce?" ”

Dai Shan smiled and raised three fingers, "Three million taels? Li Yangde raised his eyebrows.

Dai Shan nodded, and Li Yangde smiled and stopped talking, Dai Shan saw his expression and knew that the other party must not be interested, and then took out the map from his arms and said: "Lord Li, please see, except for the three million taels, this entire territory can be allocated to you!" ”

Li Yangde looked at the circle drawn on Dai Shan's map, and then sneered: "First, these territories were originally my Ming's!" It can't be used as a bargain, if it really wants to be executed according to the conditions we offer; Second, the land you have allocated is really inconvenient for us to receive, and there is no point in recovering this lost land now! It's really insincere and inappropriate for you to do this! ”

"Master Li! Our Great Khan said it! Our Great Khan can also pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty like Korea! Dai Shan continued.

Li Yangde continued to shake his head: "This case can't be opened!" Cannot! Cannot! ”

"Then we can't help it! Your asking price is not silver anymore! It's for the life of my Dajin Kingdom! Dai Shan sighed.

Li Yangde thought for a while and said: "For the sake of this ginseng, the old man will fight for a reduction for you, but the minimum is twenty-three million taels is the limit, and the old man has to use the old man's relationship in the DPRK and China!" ”

Dai Shan said: "Even so, we can't pay it!" ”

Li Yangde spread his hands and said: "Since this is the case, the old man has no choice but to talk to our majesty, and then pull these people to the noon gate!" ”

"Damn old immortal!" Dai Shan scolded in his heart, and said, "Adults can't be like this!" As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, which is nearly 10,000 lives! ”

"For Da Ming! The old man is willing to do so! Li Yangde said seriously.

"Five million taels! Can't do it more! Dai Shan gritted his teeth and said.

Li Yangde shook his head with a smile and said, "You better go back and think about it!" Come! Drop-off! ”

Dai Shan shook his head helplessly, got up and gave a salute to Li Yangde, and then left with Sony helplessly, looking at the two who left, Li Yangde leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked very happy。。。。。。
