The Venetians had reached this point, and the cannon was already mounted at the door. Hundreds of galleons didn't come back to report their life and death, and it was obvious that Ximing had made dumplings here, so he could only start to reason - according to Qian Chujiu's rules. That is, all kinds of indemnity and debt repayment and other affairs.

As for the fight to the death? What is Venice best known for? Businessmen, yes, this is the foundation on which it thrives. Its government is a joint-stock company. Its governor is its general manager. Counting on a company to fight to the death and burn everything? That's unrealistic.

"Let's discuss, then, how Venice is going to pay the reparations." Qian Chujiu said to the governor and the nobles, "I am a gentleman, who has no income, according to my idea, I will occupy this city, and all the men will go to the mines to work, and the women will be slaves." But His Majesty is benevolent, His Majesty is unwilling to do this, whether it is Huaxia Daming or Taixi Daming, His Majesty feels that there is a principle that is unshakable, that is, not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, not to seek hegemony, not to invade! ”

The governor of Venice really wanted to pounce and beat Qian Chujiu's fat face into a pig's head! But he could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a stiff smile: "Praise the great majesty!" He is worthy of the title of saint, he is the righteous man of the world! Whether it is Egypt or Israel, we are very careful that His Majesty will abide by what he has said, and never invade other countries or enslave the people of other countries. ”

"Praise the great majesty!" Whatever they thought in their hearts, the nobles chimed in.

This is the benefit of inheriting the Byzantine legal system, because the Eastern Roman Empire was also wide back then.

Whether it is Athens or Smyrna, for Ding Yi, who inherited the Eastern Roman heritage. It cannot be said that he invaded, especially when Ding Yi's artillery fire was strong enough, but that he restored his homeland.

In fact, if Ding Yi wanted to, he could do the same with Venice. The main Ding Yi is not optimistic about Venice. This is not a good place for Ding Yi. Therefore, there is no mention of "since ancient times" at all. The saying "sacrosanct is not to be violated". If Ding Yi looks at Venice as a place, this statement has a historical basis, because Venice was originally independent from Byzantium.

The governor suppressed his sense of disgust, followed Qian Chujiu's "truth", praised Ding Yi, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, then, please forgive me, Venice really can't get seven million taels of silver for a while. We discussed it with a fee, hoping to cede the island of Cyprus to offset the three million taels of silver in compensation. ”

"The island of Cyprus is worth three million taels of silver? Are you laughing at the navy of the Western Ming Empire? Qian Chujiu's eyes widened, and he looked at the governor and nobles of Venice with an expression of disbelief, "Maybe you would like to talk to the admiral of the fleet about this?" "Where is the island of Cyprus? To the east of Rhodes, where the Knights Hospitaller were stationed, near the coast of Asia Minor.

That's why Qian Chujiu is so "reasonable", because do the Venetians still plan to cross the Mediterranean Sea and go to the island of Cyprus to exercise any power? Do you regard the Ximing Navy as nothing? I was choked by him. The nobles of the Venetians could only smile bitterly, this is called the shape shì is stronger than the human.

Is there any truth to what Qian Chujiu said? Yes, with the support of naval guns, his words are very reasonable.

As for what the original truth should be. For example, "No matter how powerful Simin is, this island of Cyprus belongs to Venice!" Something like that, this time of the year. What's the point? Qian Chujiu paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "So." I'm a useless piece of waste, soft-hearted. What do you call this? Sell me roses from my backyard? And I actually relented. Alas, well, I'm just not promising, so let's do it, the island of Cyprus, count it as half a million taels. If within ten years there is a riot, you Venice must return the money! ”

And then the next thing to talk about is that the Venetians cry poor, and they really can't pay so much.

As for glass products, Ximing is not rare at all, and it is naturally impossible to talk about the issue of debt repayment.

"The relationship between the island of Cyprus and the French side should be handled by yourselves, and if this matter is not handled well, then you nobles will have no value in it." Qian Chujiu shook the folding fan lightly and said to the Venetians, because the island of Cyprus did have a certain subordinate jurisdiction relationship with the French and the Venetians.

Qian Chujiu said to the Venetian nobles who were about to burst into flames in their eyes: "Except for the island of Cyprus, considering your situation, I will go and beg the merciful Majesty to see if I can reduce the indemnity to four and a half million, but it cannot be lower, if you can't get it for a while, then make a repayment plan." ”

This finally made the Venetians breathe a sigh of relief, and the Venetians of this era were still very rich, although the city was only a few hundred thousand people. But in the midst of trade, they stripped a lot of wealth. So as long as it's not a one-time take, they can afford it.

Ding Yi looked at Qian Chujiu and Wen Jiàn, who was initialled by Venice, and was very taken aback, and frowned: "You killed many people?" ”

"No, no, the child knows that the old man is the most compassionate, and it doesn't matter if he lives or dies during this war, and even the prisoners have to be served well after the war, how can he go to Venice to kill people? Just bluffed them. Qian Chujiu salivated and showed himself there, "In the early stage, they could only deliver 1.8 million taels of silver, part of which was converted into gold, and they also wanted to fill the number with glass, but they were rejected by the child." ”

After refusing, Qian Chujiu had to return the bronze horse hanging in the church of San Marco in Venice. It was the four bronze horses of the Constantinople Hippodrome, which were stolen from Constantine by the Doge of Venice during the Fourth Crusade.

Even Ding Yi, looking at the terms of this peace treaty, felt impeccable.

In fact, if the Venetians can cede the island of Cyprus, the rest will basically be earned by losing hundreds of thousands of taels of shells. Ding Yi said four million, but he didn't expect Qian Chujiu to be so ruthless. Not only did he pay 1.8 million yuan for the land, but he also set another 200,000 taels every year to pay off in 11 years.

That is to say, in addition to the four million taels demanded by Ding Yi, Qian Chujiu also got the island of Cyprus back.

"You kid, I can't think of diplomacy as a bit of a good thing." Ding Yi, who has always looked at Qian Chujiu's displeasure, couldn't help nodding.

"Boss, boss, here's more!" Qian Chujiu secretly took out a secret agreement, and even waved Cao Jixiang to step back before handing it to Ding Yi with both hands.

Ding Yi didn't look at it, he couldn't help nodding when he looked at it, and even reached out and patted Qian Chujiu's shoulder: "You kid, you kid!" ”

The secret agreement was signed in private, and this secret agreement was very simple, mainly because the French princess Anna sent Ding Yi to Marseille, because the Venetian fleet provoked the Ximing fleet and frightened the princess, so Ding Yi was in a bad mood. Therefore, the Venetians paid Princess Anna 200,000 taels of silver or the same value, and for the next three years, paid Princess Anna 100,000 taels of silver every year to obtain Ding Yi's understanding.

"Don't dare to be a boss and praise it, the child only has one piece of loyalty!" Qian Chujiu said flatteringly to Ding Yi.

Then he immediately made a request: "Seeing that the child is sensible now, can you ask the old man for a reward?" ”

"The child has nothing else to ask for, just ask the old man to give Zhaodi a marriage to the child."

Ding Yi smiled and patted Qian Chujiu's shoulder: "You kid, you kid." He repeated this four or five times, but grabbed Qian Chujiu's ears, ignored his pain, pressed him down on the chair with the back of his neck, picked up the feather duster on the side, and pumped Qian Chujiu's ass hard, "Why are you so stupid!" ”

"I need you to send me money to Anna's little girl?"

"More importantly, as a negotiator, you don't think about the interests of the country, but try to fill your own pockets!"

Cao Jixiang hurriedly leaned on Qian Chujiu's back at once: "Your Majesty, if you continue to fight, the Ninth Young Master will be broken!" It's the old slave who is not good, it's the old slave who doesn't take a good look at the Ninth Young Master, you punish the old slave! ”

"Old Cao, don't come to this, get up!" Ding Yi shouted coldly.

He could see it clearly, this matter was obviously done by Qian Chujiu himself, in order to compete for merit, he also avoided Cao Jixiang, and it really had nothing to do with Cao Jixiang. Qian Chujiu took a few more beatings, cried like a pig, and cried loudly: "Fourth grandmother! You look at the child from heaven! As soon as your old man leaves, the child will be killed! ”

Qian Chujiu shouted the fourth grandmother, it was Zhang Yu, Ding Yi couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard it, and threw away the broken feather duster, with a little hoarse voice in his voice: "Get out!" ”

Cao Jixiang helped Qian Chujiu up, the latter covered his buttocks, his face was stained with tears, and he tiptoed out, and made a silent gesture to Cao Jixiang. Before he arrived at the door, he heard Ding Yi speak: "The 500,000 taels of silver, I will take 300,000 taels out, Lao Cao, as a deputy envoy, has poor supervision, take 20,000 taels, and the other 180,000 taels, you will fill the deficit today, do you hear?" ”

"The child obeys." Qian Chujiu said weakly, "I have to lose money after this fight......"

Ding Yi slapped the table angrily: "You fill in the gap, get out of Paris for me tomorrow, if the affairs of the French Republican Organization are not done, then the new account and the old account will be settled!" Get lost! ”

"Yes, yes, get out of the child, my lord, I beat and beaten, and I admit the punishment, you have to marry the child, right? There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, isn't it? Qian Chujiu always seemed to have a way to make Ding Yi angry.

"Smack!" A teacup almost rubbed against Qian Chujiu's scalp and smashed it on the wall.

Ding Yi sneered: "Zhaodi? Do you mean Major Zhaodi, the Governor of Guinea, who is also in charge of military and civilian affairs? It turned out that I was going to send you to Guinea to supervise the affairs of the African Ministry of Industry. But now it seems that some people are too stupid to go through the training.
