Chapter 83: A sky-high ransom
Compared with Yang Hong, who was killed by himself and drew his martial spirit, Zhen Yi said that he was a negotiation talent, rather an internal affairs talent, and he preferred to be a minister of industry and commerce.
In other words, the value of killing souls is not very high, and the most important thing is that Zhen Yi's surroundings are not very high, and he used Yang Qi's martial soul for Xie Yuan before, and Fang Yun regretted it a little afterwards. A person can only fuse martial souls three times in his life, and Xie Yuan, a talent who will obviously become his confidant, naturally wants to use the best martial soul for her, so as to be worthy of the system setting of 'absolute loyalty' of self-built generals.
Yang Qi, a military general who has not yet fully developed, and is himself not in the stream, the value of the martial soul drawn out is actually not great, so it is really a waste to use it for Xie Yuan like this. It's just that I can't regret it until now, after all, according to the meaning of the system, there is no way to extract the fused martial soul again, unless Xie Yuan's own martial soul is withdrawn.
Of course, the premise is that Xie Yuan must die, so who would do that?!
"Give me a reason why I won't kill you!" Fang Yun simply sat directly in front of Zhen Yi and asked casually.
Zhen Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then subconsciously began to doubt, this girl won't be teasing me, right?
In fact, since ten years ago, she has officially accepted the position of treasurer of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce, so that Zhen Yi can be promoted as a child of the family as a filial piety and then become a leader.
With the experience accumulated over the years, she could see that Fang Yun seemed to be careless, but what she said was serious.
"Husband, be careful, he's serious!" Zhang's Ailang was heartfelt, but he didn't care about all the words to remind him.
At this time, Zhen Yi had to pay attention to this problem, because her wife had never been wrong in looking at the problem. Over the years, he has even developed the habit of asking his wife when he has questions, and the Zhang family has become Zhen Yi's royal military advisor.
"Zhen is a Han official, and now the city under his jurisdiction has been attacked by you, and those who lose the city and lose their land are beheaded according to the law, even if you don't do it, what difference does it make in the end?" Zhen Yi saw it, both horizontally and vertically, and simply died with some integrity.
"This is not a matter of concern to me, with the status of your Zhen Chamber of Commerce in Jizhou, Yuan Valve will not fail to value you, after all, you are one of their main sources of income, all you need is to provide enough money in exchange for their help! At most, you Zhen Yi don't do this county order! Fang Yun shrugged his shoulders and said.
Zhen Yi also thought about this problem, but the businessman is still inferior, and the economic source of Yuan Valve's is not simply from the Zhen Chamber of Commerce, the Yuan Chamber of Commerce is also all over Runan County, which is the main economic source of Yuan Valve. In these years, who doesn't know how to make money in business, and waits for rent on an acre and a third of land, is either a fool or a weak person with little ability.
If Yuan Valve attaches importance to the Zhen family, then everything is easy to say, but if it is not valued, then the dissolution of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce is inevitable.
Officially based on this consideration, Zhen Yi would rather defend the city than tell the truth, even if he dies, it is only himself, his family is spared, and the Zhen family will not be destroyed.
"Are you worried that Yuan Valve doesn't pay attention to you?" Fang Yun asked with a smile.
"How do you know?!" Zhen Yi raised his head sharply and glared at Fang Yun deadly.
"Peace of mind, Yuan Valve still attaches great importance to you, at least in the list he gave, there is no Cai Ling Zhen Yi on you. In other words, you belong to his care, at least not the one they want to get rid of! Fang Yun said with a smile.
"You mean, Yuan Valve is a thief?" Zhen Yi asked with squinted eyes.
"Even if I admit it, what can you do? Write a letter to tell your Majesty, saying that Yuan Valve is a thief, and let Your Majesty punish the Yuan Valve clan? At that time, I will see that I will be on the way, and your Zhen family has already been punished by the clan first. Besides, what evidence do you have to say that Yuan is a thief, just by relying on a sentence from me, a 'thief', or a list provided? Fang Yun said indifferently.
"According to rumors...... You Yellow Turbans are short of food, aren't they? Zhen Yi took a deep breath, and then said slowly.
He is the same, Yuan Valve can't be defeated, but as long as the other party has no intention of annexing the Zhen Chamber of Commerce, then the lives of his own clan can still be saved. There was no one who didn't want to live longer, especially Zhen Yi was also worried that after he died, Fang Yun would attack his family, so he chose to compromise.
Since he wants to compromise, he naturally has to come up with the price of his life, Zhen Yi is not stupid, he knows what is most valuable in the eyes of the other party!
"Naturally, we lacked food, and we also lacked all kinds of medicinal herbs, leather to keep out the cold, and a lot of linen. But the question is, how much can you supply? More importantly, how do the two sides deal with each other? Fang Yun asked calmly.
"Although there are yellow turbans everywhere in Dahan nowadays, one thing can be guaranteed, that is, trade routes! Even you Yellow Turbans know the consequences of offending our merchants, and as far as I know, there are even many chambers of commerce that are playing the role of money laundering, helping you sell those gold and silver treasures in exchange for the supplies you need.
As long as you are willing to let me go, in the name of the treasurer of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce, I will privately provide the Yellow Turban Army with 15,000 stone of food, plus 300 stone of various medicines to stop bleeding and heal wounds. At the same time, if your army needs leather goods or linen, or even various other materials, we can also buy them on our behalf, and only need to increase the normal price by 30%! That's my condition, and it's the only one, there's no price to negotiate! Zhen Yi thought about it carefully, and then said very solemnly, even a little resolutely.
Obviously, Zhen Yi didn't intend to waste his tongue in negotiations, and of course, it was not ruled out that he intended to force Fang Yun to compromise like this. After all, Fang Yunman was not satisfied with this price, but the surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers had already been shocked.
"Your Jizhou Zhen clan has a monopoly on almost the entire grain trade in Jizhou, and there are at least two or three hundred thousand stones, or even more grains, being traded every year. With such a big family business, as the shopkeeper of this chamber of commerce, your Zhen Yi's life is so worthless? Fang Yun asked with a smile.
"In business, Zhen is a mortal person, why waste so many words? Yes, no, no, no, it's just a matter of words! Zhen Yi was unmoved.
"Well, your life is worth the price! The question is, how much is your family worth? Fang Yun asked with a smile.
"You mean!" Zhen Yi jumped up directly.
"In business, what you just paid was your own price, but you didn't pay your family's price! Yes, no, no, no, it's just a matter of words! Fang Yun shrugged his shoulders and replied directly.
"General, don't you know that my Zhen clan has some money from Yuan Valve, and that is the real big number. If it's not enough, why should they help me Zhen? If they don't help our Zhen family, do you think you can still get food and supplies? Zhen Yi said word by word, and it could be seen that he was really a little hot.
Woe to his wife and daughter, the rules of the rivers and lakes, obviously, Fang Yun's move was indeed a bit of a violation of the rules, even the surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers, even Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, felt that Fang Yun was a little too much.
"Since Yuan Valve originally planned to protect you, it will naturally not be too difficult for you, and besides, the transaction between you and Yuan Valve is long-term, and it will not be repaid this year or next year. But my Yellow Turban Army is a one-rod deal, and God knows when we will be able to meet you again? But someone on our side can be regarded as merciful, if you double the ransom, then I will give you an extra diagnosis and treatment, including medicine until you get rid of the disease, so that you can live for more than ten years......" Fang Yun squinted his eyes and said slowly in a demagogic tone.
"Oh, you still know the art of Qihuang?" Zhen Yi was curious.
"No, but I have studied medicine for a period of time, not to mention that I can cure the flesh and bones of dead people, and it is still possible to cure your intestinal carbuncle." Fang Yun said very calmly.
Through a simple visual inspection, Fang Yun could almost conclude that Zhen Yi was not because of kidney problems, but because of appendicitis. In these years, as long as this disease is diagnosed, it is almost just waiting for death, but for Fang Yun, this disease can still be treated, and there is a record of this in the "Green Capsule Medical Scripture", but it is not solved by surgery, but by acupuncture, and then combined with external application and internal administration to treat this disease, as long as it is not rotten to the extent of complete necrosis. It's really not good, just cut it!
These days, Zhen Yi has been in pain because of this problem, but the doctor has no way to deal with this problem except for prescribing warm and tonic drugs to recuperate, so Zhen Yi has also begun to lose weight day and night, and his spirit has become a lot worse. At first glance, it's really a little longitudinal. I want to have an excessive sense of immediacy, but the truth is not like that.
"Can you really cure carbuncles!?" This time it was not Zhen Yi who spoke, but Mrs. Zhen on the side.
"It can be seen that Zhen County ordered your intestinal carbuncle to be still early, so the possibility of treatment is still very high, but if I don't help diagnose and treat, in the middle and late stages, then to put it mildly, you can live for two or three months at most." Fang Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with an attitude that he didn't care about himself.
"As long as you can save my husband, we will agree to the conditions you put forward!" Mrs. Zhen said excitedly.
"Madame, you can't do that!" Zhen Yi retorted.
"Listen to me on this!" Mrs. Zhen was also fierce, and she crossed her waist and scolded the past.
Interestingly, Zhen Yi did not show his majesty, but chose to compromise and obediently closed his mouth.
"So, deal!" Fang Yun stretched out his hand.
"Deal ......" Zhen Yi shook his head, but he still stretched out his hand, to be honest, he was really not used to this kind of handshake ceremony.
Writing or something, Fang Yun didn't even ask Zhen Yi to set it up, just because he didn't need it at all! After all, the descendants of the Zhen family are now under their own control, if they want to break their promise, why do they have to promise any ransom?
As for the surrounding Yellow Turban Army, they are completely in a sluggish state at the moment, how can they not understand that such a large batch of food can be easily obtained like this? According to this amount, these people must at least have real knives and guns, and they may be able to get three or four cities of Shang Cai's level, but now they can get it just by using their mouths!
couldn't help but look at Fang Yun's eyes with a little more awe, but they couldn't help but complain at the same time in their hearts: profiteers!
P.S second more sends, rolling and selling all kinds of begging!
