Chapter 267: The sky-high price is asking for the price to sit on the ground and pay back
Although Lu Wenheng was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to attack on the spot, and after coughing, he held back his anger and said, "This ...... Don't be in a hurry, since the official is here, he naturally wants to listen to the thoughts of the master, if the master does not agree to the request made by the official just now, you might as well talk about your thoughts! ”
Lu Wenheng can talk about such a point, if you want to say it, it can be regarded as giving Yu Xiaotian a lot of face, after all, he is here to negotiate now, he still hopes that the negotiation can be successful, and naturally he can't overturn this hard-won opportunity because of a sentence.
So Yu Xiaotian glanced at Lin Yiyang next to him, Lin Yiyang smiled indifferently, took out a fold from his arms, and said: "Since Lord Lu said so, then the student has already prepared a request from our side in advance, and please take a look at it first, and then it's not too late to talk!" ”
After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, Lu Wenheng nodded, and asked his subordinates to take the fold in Lin Yiyang's hand and present it to him.
Lu Wenheng opened the request submitted by the sea wolf and watched it from beginning to end, and his face became blue as he watched this request.
Because the conditions submitted by the sea wolf are too harsh, the others are better to say, but the most important ones are simply blackmailing the Fujian officials.
One is that the sea wolf proposed that it is okay to accept Zhao'an, but Yu Xiaotian must be appointed as the deputy chief of Fujian coastal defense.
Because at this time, the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the time of complete chaos, the general army and deputy general soldiers are running all over the ground, grabbing a handful, and the general soldiers and deputy general soldiers, including the generals, are all appointed through the holy judgment, that is to say, the generals at this level are considered to be generals of the economic system, and they have never been directly appointed through recruitment.
If it is said that the local magistrate wants to recruit a giant on the side of the army, it is only possible to open a thousand generals, and it is also a garrison official position, even if it is the top of the sky, but the sea wolf has a mouth like a lion's big mouth, and he actually wants the position of a deputy general, which is simply impossible.
If this is the case, then the world will not be chaotic, as long as various localities encounter troubles that are difficult to solve, just throw out the official position of the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier, wouldn't it be equivalent to solving the problem?
But the problem is that the risk of doing this is that you must know that the deputy general of the Ludao Army, including the generals, are all generals, and their subordinates can easily control tens of thousands of troops, once this cannot be controlled, then things will be in big trouble, and the Rebellion of Lu'an is an example, and the rebellion of one party is far more powerful than ordinary thieves.
Because once they accept the recruitment, they will turn into officers and soldiers, and the imperial court will have to pay for their food and equipment, and they can use these assets to grow rapidly, and there is a danger that the tail will not be lost.
So don't say that they don't dare to agree to this, even if they agree, this matter must be played to the imperial court, and the matter can only be decided through the court's deliberation, for the Fujian official, Xiong Wencan does not have the power to meet the condition proposed by Yu Xiaotian.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian proposed on this excerpt that if he accepts Zhao'an, everything will remain the same, which means that Yu Xiaotian has changed his identity, but what he took will not be returned to the Fujian official.
If this is the case, then Lu Wenheng secretly thought, even if Zhao'an is successful this time, then for their Fujian officials, is there any practical significance? What has been lost has been lost, people don't pay it back, and they Fujian officials have nothing to do, so if it goes on like this, won't this Zhao'an become a joke?
In addition, Yu Xiaotian also proposed that it was okay to recruit his soldiers and horses, but he should be given a quota of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and after the reorganization, the official would be responsible for providing him with sufficient food and salary for these soldiers and horses.
This matter is even more impossible to accept, because after the sea wolf's subordinates accept Zhao'an, they will definitely be reorganized according to the town army, and they will never put so many soldiers and horses in one place, and they must find a way to disperse and resettle them, otherwise the 20,000 elite soldiers will be gathered together, it will definitely be an unstable factor, and the slightest carelessness may become a knife hanging over the head of the Fujian official, and it will definitely be too big to be controlled in the future.
You must know that the number of soldiers in the whole of Fujian is only about 100,000 on paper, which also includes a large number of empty salaries, after removing these, the actual number of soldiers is less than 60,000, after the conflict with the sea wolf in the past six months, the total number of troops left in the whole Fujian is only 30,000 or 40,000.
If after recruiting the sea wolf, the conditions for receiving the sea wolf as a whole and giving it 20,000 soldiers, Fujian will really become the world of the sea wolf.
Thinking about the huge Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong's department, when he accepted the number of soldiers, he only gave Mao Wenlong 20,000 soldiers and horses in the end, but Yu Xiaotian recruited an army this time, and he asked for 20,000 soldiers at once, which is simply impossible.
Of course, Yu Xiaotian also put forward other conditions, such as assigning Haitan Island and Nanri Island to him in the future as the location of his garrison, and Haitan Island is the largest island in Fujian, who dares to say that Haitan Island will be handed over to Yu Xiaotian like this?
Combining these points, Lu Wenheng only felt that one head and two were big, and he never thought that Xiaotian's appetite would be so big, and he would put forward such harsh conditions for this recruitment, so without waiting for him to finish reading, his face had already turned iron blue, if he didn't dare to attack at this time, it is estimated that Lu Wenheng would have kicked the table over a long time ago, and ordered his subordinates to take Yu Xiaotian down and drag him out of the gang to cut it.
Because Lin Yiyang did not directly say these conditions publicly, but conveyed the information to Lu Wenheng through this piece of paper, the other officials did not know what the specific conditions proposed by the Dao Sea Wolf were, but from Lu Wenheng's face, they also felt something bad.
Because Lu Wenheng has been facing more and more ugly since he took over the conditions proposed by the sea wolf, and even his hands trembled a little.
Although Qian Xiaocheng does not have any direct official position on the surface, it seems that this negotiation should be dominated by Lu Wenheng, but after all, he is Xiong Wencan's staff, and this time he proposed to recruit An, so in this negotiation, Qian Xiaocheng has a transcendent special status.
Just now, when Lu Wenheng proposed the conditions for recruitment, he immediately noticed that Yu Xiaotian had a trace of disdain on his face, with his current understanding of Xiaotian, he knew that Lu Wenheng said this, Yu Xiaotian would definitely not give Lu Wenheng any good looks, and sure enough, Yu Xiaotian immediately threw out his conditions.
It's just that Yu Xiaotian didn't say it directly, but just wrote down the conditions they listed on a piece of paper and presented it to Lu Wenheng, so although Qian Xiaocheng was very anxious to understand what conditions Yu Xiaotian had offered, but now that the paper was still in Lu Wenheng's hand, he was in a hurry but there was no way to see what was written on it.
So after hesitating for a while, Qian Xiaocheng whispered to Lu Wenheng on the side: "Lord Lu! But I don't know what conditions have been put forward by the head of the family? ”
Lu Wenheng's face was blue at this time, there was nowhere to come out of this gas, and suddenly someone was asking questions next to him, so he was about to grab a punching bag to get angry first, but he turned his head and saw that it was Qian Xiaocheng who asked questions, so he could only hold back his anger, because Qian Xiaocheng was not his subordinate, it could be said that Xiong Wencan came here, and he didn't dare to be angry with him.
So after thinking about it for a while, he angrily handed the piece of paper handed to him by Lin Yiyang to Qian Xiaocheng, and said with a calm face: "Qian Zanhua, take a look for yourself!" Hum! ”
Qian Xiaocheng didn't know what was written on the road, and he could make Lu Wenheng, who was usually quite generous, like this, so he quickly took it with both hands and unfolded it and looked at it at a glance.
After he finished reading it, his jaw almost fell to the ground, and he almost exclaimed on the spot, but he finally managed not to exclaim, but his face became as ugly as if he had been kicked.
"This ...... This...... This is also too ......" After Qian Xiaocheng saw the conditions put forward by Yu Xiaotian, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't help but stutter a little when he even spoke.
So with Lu Wenheng's acquiescence, the conditions proposed by the sea wolf side were quickly circulated among the official officials, and after reading this condition, two of them suddenly couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "This ...... This is simply outrageous! Wish for the moon! ”
As someone spoke, everyone else couldn't help but start to reprimand angrily, and all the officials were angry at this moment, which suddenly made the atmosphere in the tent tense.
On the contrary, the people on Yu Xiaotian's side all showed the appearance of an old god, and they didn't think it was angry at all, and looked coldly at these officials and men losing their temper there.
However, Lu Wenheng and Qian Xiaocheng forcibly suppressed the anger in their chests, did not participate in the accusation against the sea wolves, and watched the expressions of Yu Xiaotian and others on the side.
After everyone had vented, Lu Wenheng coughed twice, stopping the unkempt rebuke of his officials, until this time, Yu Xiaotian shook his head and showed a rogue expression, and said to Lu Wenheng: "Lord Lu has also seen our request, so I don't know how Lord Lu feels?" ”
Lu Wenheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "This official thinks that the conditions you have offered are too harsh, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet your requirements!" And this official thinks that you are obviously not sincere in accepting Zhao'an by doing this! I'm afraid it's hard for us to continue! ”
"Wrong! Lord Lu was very wrong! Yu is quite sincere, if Yu is not sincere, how can he take such pains to put forward these conditions? And if Yu was not sincere, how could he take such a big risk and come here to negotiate with Lord Lu? Therefore, Lord Lu said that there was no sincerity in the next generation, which was obviously too arbitrary!
In addition, since Lord Lu can ask for a price all over the sky, then why is he not allowed to sit on the ground to repay the money?
If Lord Lu thinks that the two sides can't get along, then I don't force anything, after all, Lord Lu is only the prefect of Fuzhou, and some things are not convenient to decide, I can wait for this kind of thing, so we might as well talk about it later! Yu Xiaotian still maintained a rogue look, and said to Lu Wenheng while trimming his nails with a small file.
