Chapter 830: A String of Numbers
The Witch King didn't look at the red dragon, but continued: "According to my judgment, we don't allocate land to the people of the Righteous Dynasty, they will not give up, I suspect that there will be a second or even a third round of negotiations, but I am afraid that you will have to participate in these negotiations, because you are the key and may give you a lot of pressure." And the negotiation time is extended, you may not be able to return to the mountains and forests for a while, if the people of the upright dynasty increase troops in the mountains and forests, to put pressure on us, it may be another troublesome matter, I don't have a soldier to send to you, I don't know what you think?"
Meng Huan Chilong was stunned when he heard this, he really hadn't thought about it, he had been thinking about going back early and defeating the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty. And to let him prolong his time in the royal capital, it was mainly a matter of negotiation, which made him not mentally prepared at all, and he did not know how to negotiate.
Meng Huan Chilong looked around, hoping that someone could explain to him what negotiation was, but because the Witch King was there, no one dared to talk nonsense, so Meng Winding Red Dragon finally had to set his eyes on the Witch King.
The Witch King thought for a moment and said, "I can't give you an accurate explanation, because there are many contents of negotiations, and when the two parties sit down to negotiate for some kind of benefit, and finally get a satisfactory result, it can be regarded as a negotiation." For example, they are now negotiating with the Xiong family, in order to obtain benefits. When we negotiate with the people of the Righteous Dynasty, the main thing is that the two sides put forward their own demands, and then negotiate, and when the demands are not met, they have to make new demands, and then choose the right place to negotiate, which is what I just said may happen. ”
Meng Huan Chilong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "I really want to participate in such a negotiation, it's a big deal that I mess around with them, delay time with them, and force them to give up the idea of allocating the earth." ”
The Witch King smiled. "You have a good idea, you spend time and energy, but you can't get anything, it's really an annoying thing. What if people get angry and don't talk to you and start fighting?"
For this prediction of the Witch King, Meng Huan Chilong is recognized, the people of the Righteous Dynasty are desperate to obtain the Empty Yuan Stone, and it is absolutely impossible to get through without obtaining the Land of the Heavens, so they will be trapped in a round of negotiations on this side, and the other side may continue to fight.
Therefore, he thought about it again and said to the Witch King: "Witch King, you are right, I will send people back to the mountains and forests tomorrow to let the people's army strengthen the conscription and do a good job of defense. I'm staying to negotiate just for show, as long as the land is ready for battle, I will go back to the mountains and forests to encircle and suppress the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty, when there are no more people of the Duanzheng Dynasty in the mountains and forests, what will they talk to us?"
Listening to the words of the red dragon, the Witch King nodded with satisfaction, as if this was what he wanted, and said with a smile: "You are indeed very smart, I am very relieved of you, it seems that it is your turn to make a profit, and I should not stay here anymore." ”
Naturally, no one stopped the witch king from what he said, and all the people saluted and respectfully sent the witch king away, while the others did not talk about the affairs of the people of the dynasty, because they were really distributing the benefits obtained, which was the focus now.
Perhaps under the pressure of many families, the Xiong family seems to have lost more, not only to take out one-third of the fief for the family to distribute, but also to take out a year's income from the fief to save the lives of the Xiong family involved in the matter, and after this incident, the Xiong family must not entangle anyone in this matter, and the Xiong family must honor what they promised during the gambling fight, which is the rule of the Wu people.
In other words, the matter of the original three Xiong brothers, as well as Chen Song, who was willing to follow Menghuan Chilong, should be safe now, and the money from the gambling fight can be returned.
This made the Menghuan Mountain Tiger very happy, and he stepped forward first to get back the money from the gambling fight, as well as the contract of those people. Meng Huan Chilong didn't expect this to happen, he couldn't help but look at the Long family, and saw Long Qifeng smiling and waving at him, knowing that this matter should be the contribution of the Long family, so he nodded and expressed his gratitude.
The back is naturally the distribution of benefits, and the Long family, without any objections from other families, took a piece first, and then the Menghuan clan's request. Because the Menghuan clan is the leader of this matter, coupled with Wu Yuanying's shot, it is also the main reason why everyone can sit down and talk, so it is ranked second, which is something that all families have no objection to.
Menghuan Mountain Tiger glanced at the patriarch, and when he saw Menghuan Chilong nodding at him, he stood up confidently. "Our Menghuan clan is a small family, and now we can't even govern our own fiefdoms, and we have no intention of fighting for land with everyone, as long as we get the appropriate money, or equivalent armaments and treasures. ”
Then Meng Huan Mountain Tiger reported a loud number, which was calculated in big jade money, which made Meng Huan Chilong himself open his mouth wide, and also made him hurriedly look at the other patriarchs, wanting to see the reaction of those people.
The staggering numbers made the patriarchs angry and shouted and cursed. Because the compensation given by the Xiong family is only so much, and if others cut off an extra piece, the rest of the people will have to take less, so the patriarchs are not good-tempered, don't be busy for a long time, there is no benefit at all.
"Fools in the mountains. "Do you know money?" all these words fell on the head of the Menghuan Mountain Tiger, but the Menghuan Mountain Tiger gritted his teeth, stood there stubbornly, did not speak, just stared at those people fiercely, and did not retreat.
When the cursing was quieter, Tai Shuyue shouted: "Mountain boy, your price is too outrageous, we won't agree, you can make another price, otherwise you will wait for us to distribute it, and the rest will be given to you." ”
Meng Huanshan Tiger said loudly: "How can this work, the family pays attention to the rules, we are also ranked second according to the rules, how can we pick the rest to us? We come from the mountains and forests, we don't know the rules of the family, now we can re-quote a price, if you don't recognize, then ask the family to give a price, if we recognize this price, it will be subject to the price you give, just hope that the family will not lose us." ”
When the major families heard this, no one spoke, and they had already taken a step back, and there was nothing to say. Menghuan Mountain Tiger really quoted another price, this price was still frighteningly high to Menghuan Chilong's ears, because that figure was the annual income of the Xiong family's fiefdom.
This time, no one in the family shouted, but Long Dangyan said: "No, boy, your price is too high, give it all to you, and the others won't be divided?"
The Long family is a person who has already been assigned, and the seniority is also high, seeing him come forward to speak, the people from other families did not speak again.
When Menghuan Mountain Tiger saw it, he turned around and looked at the patriarch, and then saluted and said, "Ancestor of the Long family, you also said that it is high, so it is naturally high." Our patriarch is a teenager, and he is a man from the mountains and forests, and he doesn't understand the rules of the royal capital, now we will ask the Long family to help us set a reasonable price, as long as everyone agrees, it is that price, because we don't want to delay everyone's time, and we will admit it if we suffer a loss. ”
When Long Dangyan heard this, he laughed, and seemed to be very satisfied with the respect of the Menghuan clan for him, so he stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, I will quote a price for the Menghuan clan, can you agree?"
Those patriarchs also want to end this matter as soon as possible, because after the entire benefit is allocated, there will be some settlement, especially for those who have obtained land, and there are many things to do. And the Long family is a family that has been distributed, they have nothing to do with the rest of the benefits, and they don't have to worry about robbing it again, so everyone agrees.
Long Dangyan discussed it with his clan elders, and then reported a figure, which was one-half of the Xiong family's annual fiefdom income, although it was half less than the figure just now, but for so many families, this was also a big number. Because the Xiong family took out so many things in total, this money is already one-sixth of the total value.
Those family patriarchs were a little stunned when they heard this, and they thought that as long as they gave a little money, they could send away the Menghuan clan, and they didn't need to give so much at all. To them, the Mongols are just a bunch of mountain people, so what kind of money do they know? They don't even want the most valuable land, knowing that if they have the land, they will have an income every year.
It's just that before they had time to speak, Tai Shuyue shouted: "I think this is reasonable, if it weren't for the Menghuan clan this time, everyone would not be beneficial, I agree with this price." ”
The people of the full family also agreed, which was equivalent to setting the price, and the people of the other families had nothing to say. Smart people know that these are the three major families who want to help the Menghuan clan.
When Menghuan Shanhu ran to get the money, Menghuan Chilong suddenly lost interest, feeling that the money was actually just a string of numbers, and it had no meaning. And he has such a feeling, which is related to his youth, he has no feeling for money, it is better to have less, and this more is a little indistinguishable, so he naturally loses interest.
Wu Yuanying shook over at this time and said, "Your business is done, let's go back to the Wuzu Temple!"
Meng Huan Chilong frowned and said, "Master, I may not be able to go for a while." Then he repeated the Witch King's concerns.
Wu Yuanying said impatiently: "You go back to the mansion now, arrange the people, let them go back to the mountains and forests, and stay behind, and then you go back to the Wuzu Temple with me, you have to improve in the near future, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future." As long as the Xiong family still has hatred for you, they will always make trouble for you, so you can't ask Master to support you every time, right?"
Meng Huan Chilong thought that this was indeed the reason, and after Meng Huan Mountain Tiger took the money and came back, he took people out of the ring and took people back to his Viscount Mansion. And Wu Yuanying and Dajiu Feicheng returned to the Wuzu Temple, waiting for them to arrive.
Back at the Viscount's Mansion, Meng Huan Chilong still spent the night arranging some things.
He asked Teng Ziwei to take the civilian soldiers and soldiers, as well as a few Wu guards he recruited, to go back to the mountains and forests first, and naturally bring most of the money obtained this time, so as to facilitate the recruitment of troops and horses in the mountains and forests, and naturally also brought a letter to Liao Shusheng and them, with his arrangements for the mountains and forests.
And Lei Yue and Lei Sen, as well as Chen Jie, the captain of the personal guard, took Chen Song and other people from the personal guard to stay in the Viscount Mansion and continue to recruit troops and horses in Zhujin City to strengthen their own personal guards. The people to be recruited now must be at least in the Wu realm, and these people will be the real main force of the Red Dragon Legion in the future.
And he himself took the Menghuan Mountain Tiger, Menghuan Leopard, Liuka Coriander, Menghuan Spirit Wolf, Menghuan Remnant Wolf, and Liao Wenhong into the Wuzu Temple, where they stayed until the formal negotiations began, and then arranged the rest of the plan.
