Chapter 118: Mortgage

Lan Jing'an's mind turned around a few times, but he still decided to open the skylight and say something bright: "Nine Emperor Princes, since the Xia Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Qianjun, can it also provide some help in other aspects?" ”

Xie Weining smiled even more cheerfully when he heard what she called herself: "You can't be a soldier." If you want food..."

Lan Jing'an knew that he could let go, and hurriedly said, "I'm just borrowing some grain and grass for the time being." It doesn't take too much, 100,000 hu is enough. ”

Xie Weining raised his eyebrows: "One hundred thousand Hu? That's not much? It's not that our Xia country can't afford to produce these 100,000 grains. However, if you borrow something, you must have a mortgage, and by the way, you will have some interest to be considered a loan. The Great Priest said yes, right? ”

Before Xie Weining's nails escaped today, he had already reported Lan Jing'an's whereabouts in the past two days to Xie Weining through the opportunity of delivering food every day. Therefore, Xie Weining has changed his previous plan, for him, it is important to take Lan Jing'an away, but what is more important is how to get the maximum benefit for Xia Guo.

Therefore, he would rather watch Dayong and the cadres consume each other than secretly take Lan Jing'an away now and let the situation become a one-sided situation. What's more, Lan Jing'an now has a special identity, and there are always guards around him, and it is not something he can take away if he wants to.

Lan Jing'an heard him call himself a big commander rarely, and knew that he was officially talking about the grain borrowing from the two countries as the Nine Emperor Princes. She nodded politely: "What the Nine Emperor Princes said is true." I don't know what you want to use as collateral. How much interest do you want to have? ”

Xie Weining looked frivolous and said, "I wanted Liangzhou before, but you didn't give it." Have you changed your mind now? Lan Jing'an shook his head: "Anything else can be discussed, this is not good." ”

After two or three times of temptation, Xie Weining already knew that this was her bottom line, and it seemed that it would not be possible to solve it through negotiation in the future. If you want to take Liangzhou, war seems to be the only means.

Xie Weining thought for a while and said, "What if I want someone? I know that you must be reluctant to give up the people of Jingyang and Yang, what if I say that I want the people of Yuzhou that you have defeated? I hope to get 50,000 people to move west to the Xia Kingdom. ”

As soon as Lan Jing'an heard this, he knew that this was an effort to mix the bloodlines of the various clans of the Xia Kingdom. But she still shook her head: "The people of Yuzhou, as long as they become the people of my Qiandynasty, I can't make decisions for them and force them to choose a country to live in." I wonder if the Nine Emperors can change their conditions? ”

Xie Weining failed in both attempts. He was not discouraged, and continued: "Then I want a thousand horses of silk and a thousand horses of silk for rest." ”

Lan Jing'an knew that Yangzhou produced cloth, especially silk and silk. Although the Xia Kingdom also produces cloth, it is mostly cotton and linen, and there are few high-quality colored silk silks. Lan Jing'an estimated that Xie Weining did not necessarily want cloth to meet the needs of the Xia Kingdom, but from the Xia Kingdom to sell cloth to rest and other countries, the price of cloth could increase by more than ten times.

However, what he asked for was not only taken out by her, but converted into a grain load, which was about 10,000 yuan, and it was not a completely unacceptable interest. What's more, for the cadres in the war, grain and grass are much more expensive than the silk that only nobles can wear.

Lan Jing'an nodded: "Okay, I can promise you this." I will contact Jinling as soon as possible, so that they can raise the cloth and transport it along the river to Xia Kingdom. It's just 100,000 grains and grass, and I need to let General Jiang's men and horses escort them over. ”

Xie Weining knew her calculations, and he didn't embarrass her: "I will order someone to transport grain and grass to Ba County, and provide a ship to transport grain, you only need to be responsible for sending people to escort it." But..."

Then he paused, looked at Lan Jing'an with bad intentions and said, "I haven't said anything about the mortgage yet." Every time Lan Jing'an saw him looking at him like this, his heart suddenly sudden, and he didn't know what tricks he was brewing.

"The mortgage is very simple, that is..."Xie Weining stretched out his voice: "The big secretary ordered you." I want you to stay with me until I pay back the food. ”

Lan Jing'an's face was not so gentle: "Nine Emperor Princes, you don't want to make an inch. Before, you asked to come to Xiangyang, and I promised you. But when we return the grain, it will take half a year and a year. Don't you want to go back to Xia during this time? Aren't you afraid that I'll bet on you as a proton? ”

Xie Weiningyun smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid." Anyway, my father and emperor have many sons, and I don't care if I don't have any less. And this time I'm asking to eat with you every day, so I can know if you're doing well. ”

Lan Jing'an was completely furious. She was not only angry with Wei Ning's conditions, but also angry at his misfortune because of his careless attitude. Her face completely darkened: "Xie Weining, don't you think about it!" After I finish dealing with the matter of Xiangyang, I will go to find Brother Qingyun. I can't take you with me. It's only right for you to put your mind back to your own country. ”

Xie Weining is very unhappy now, he feels that the ugly girl's rejection of him is all because of Xiao Qingyun's scourge, but he doesn't know that in Lan Jing'an's eyes, he is the one who is the eyesore. His face turned cold: "Ugly girl, don't forget who is asking for someone now." You want to leave me alone in order to find Xiao Qingyun? ”

Lan Jing'an listened to his words, and was even more inexplicable, and said coldly: "Xie Weining, what does it matter to me and Brother Qingyun?" Even if I don't go to Brother Qingyun, I don't want to see you dangling in front of my eyes all the time. ”

Xie Weining already regretted saying the last sentence just now. His deep thoughts often blurted out uncontrollably when he met her, which made him feel very bad.

But he was also sensitive to the fact that Lan Jing'an was originally a person with good self-control, but as long as she met herself, she would be easily provoked. She really treats herself differently.

Thinking of this, Xie Weining once again admonished himself to be calm. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of his tea. raised his head again and showed a smile, and turned into the smiling beautiful boy again: "Ugly girl, I'm just afraid that you won't take good care of your body, and you will toss yourself sick and affect me." ”

"I'm willing to take a step back. During your stay in Xiangyang, you should eat with me every day. After that, let's talk about it when the predicament of Xiangyang is solved. What do you think? ”

Lan Jing'an was willing to agree to him, but he took a step back, and it was not good for him to continue to be tough. After thinking about it, he said, "The only thing I can promise you is that as long as I am not busy in the General's Mansion, I will eat with you." What do you think? ”

Xie Weining knew that she was shirking when she heard it. Is there still a time when she's not busy? He shook his head: "As long as you are in the General's Mansion, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat with me every day." ”

Lan Jing'an thought about it, he had to eat anyway, as long as he didn't poison him, it wouldn't be a big deal to eat with him, and this would keep him on a leash to return to the General's Mansion before dark every day. Then he said, "Then have dinner." ”

Xie Weining quickly said: "No, it's a big deal to skip your lunch." The other three meals are to be eaten with me. Lan Jing'an snapped his eyes: "Two meals, dinner and supper." Breakfast is also free. ”

Xie Weining smiled: "Deal." How did he not know that Lan Jing'an didn't have the habit of eating supper on weekdays, but she didn't eat it, and he could also use the excuse of supper to find her during that time, which was what he really wanted.
