In the end, Xing Chensang said in his hoarse voice: "Of course, we welcome the establishment of a peaceful and friendly situation in the times. This is a major matter between the two countries and needs to be taken seriously and carefully. The return of our Fuhua Prefecture is also a good thing that fully reflects the sincerity of your country, and the people of the Northern Alliance are all happy about it. It's just that I don't know what else His Highness has to say about this?

When Luo Ming heard this, he patted the table lightly and said, "Very good! Lord Zuo Sima is very refreshing! He is worthy of being a modest and polite gentleman in a big country." So since Lord Zuo Sima is so cheerful and sincere, then it is inconvenient for us to be too polite. As the saying goes, 'the elder gives, don't give away', 'respectful is better than obey', right? So, I thought about it for a moment. When there was a war between our two countries, we were defeated and lost a tattered Fuhua Prefecture to us. When I led the army into the city, it was devastated and desolate, and I was not poor. ”

"Now, a few years later, under the outstanding leadership of the virtuous king of Wu, we have built Fuhua Prefecture into an extremely prosperous metropolis. I have a report in my hand. As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for Sun Jiang, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was sitting beside him, to get up and read the report in his hand. As he read it, several minor officials came in and delivered the same copy of the report to every member of the mission.

Almost all of the reports read by Sun Jiang are data: the main content is the population of Fuhua Prefecture, the area of cultivated land, the area of forests, the number of people employed in handicrafts and commerce, the production capacity or sales status, the economic capacity and value of the entire prefecture, and the scale of urban construction in Fuhua County, including the construction of city defenses (a considerable proportion of which is the addition of the construction of city walls and the excavation of moats that were not originally available. And so on. Next, he read out the data and ratios of Fuhua Prefecture in the above aspects of the construction in the past few years, as well as the funds and manpower and material resources invested by the imperial court.

They counted all of these aspects and converted them into gold coins. At the end of the report, a table was attached to calculate the damage and impact on the construction of Fuhua Prefecture caused by the second war launched by the Xuanwu State and the Eastern Shengguo. At the end of the report, it was concluded that the total investment in the construction of the Blue Dragon Kingdom in these areas should be more than 46.8 million pieces if converted into gold coins.

When Sun Jiang finished reading the report, Luo Ming waved his hand heroically and said, "You have also seen that our Qinglong Kingdom has made great sacrifices and investments in the construction of Fuhua Prefecture. Now all of a sudden, I want to give it to you for nothing, and all our efforts over the years will be in vain. It's also very unfair to us. That being the case, I hope that the Federal Republic of North and the United Nations will give us full compensation in this regard. ”

"You mean. Xing Chensang's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Tell us to pay you more than 46 million gold coins?"

Luo Ming waved his hand and said, "His Majesty King Wu is very generous and kind. Your Majesty and his old man told the king: Although those small and medium-sized dollars are also a lot of money, we, as advocates of peace, do not need to care so much. Let's think of it as a high gesture we make. Please go back and tell the king of your country that we only need 40 million gold coins. Considering that your country is not particularly wealthy economically, and life is tight, don't spend too much, okay?"

Xing Chensang was very annoyed by his pretentious and generous behavior, stood up and said loudly: "Don't pretend to be here. He blackmailed us endlessly, but he deliberately pretended to suffer a loss, and he was fake and generous, right? Tell you, the old man doesn't accept this set! Don't think about blackmailing us again. ”

Luo Ming spread out his hands and pretended to be surprised: "Why is Master Sima angry? We kindly sent Fuhua Prefecture back to you, did we do something wrong? Then we have done so many things in Fuhua Prefecture, should we give them to you completely free of charge? Shouldn't you make compensation? Should we take it all away for nothing? This truth can't be justified anywhere, right?"

Xing Chensang was so troubled by him that he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was about to brush his sleeves away, but saw Luo Ming looking at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to have a seizure. He suddenly realized that if he walked away, they would definitely tell the Avres Empire that the responsibility for the breakdown of the negotiations was ours in the Northern Alliance, and it had nothing to do with them.

"Okay, you little bastard demon king, your plan is vicious!" Xing Chensang thought to himself: "The old man almost fell for you. Since they want to return Fuhua Prefecture to us, and we have already agreed, isn't the rest a matter of details? I want everyone to know that the responsibility for the eventual breakdown of the negotiations is not ours. ”

He immediately calmed down his anger, sat down calmly, cleared his throat and said, "We will not agree to such harsh conditions as Your Highness. Although there is also some property in it, it is definitely not a money bank that you have gathered, and you can withdraw as much money as you want. We also feel that it is necessary to compensate you for your contributions, and we will not let you pay in vain. So I suggest that we compensate you 100,000 gold coins. ”

Xing Chensang originally thought that such a low price he proposed would make the kid furious. Unexpectedly, Luo Ming laughed out loud, and then said: "This king never thought that Lord Sima was still a businessman!" He seemed to laugh from the bottom of his heart, slapped the table and almost didn't lie down, and then straightened up and arched his fists with both hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Disrespectful and disrespectful! I didn't expect that Lord Sima was quite proficient in asking for prices and paying back money on the ground." Let's talk about this business!"

He finally became serious, shook a finger and said, "No, no, no, no! It's too little, 40 million gold coins, and we have made a big concession." Lord Sima, look. He snapped the report in his hand and said, "We have a solid basis." More than 46 million points have not told a lie, what is the basis for what you said about 100,000 gold coins?"

Since that day, protracted negotiations have taken place between the two countries. The representatives of the two sides are at loggerheads, and you come and go, but it is always difficult to negotiate. Luo Ming has basically not participated in the negotiation meeting since the negotiations that night. Because he has already set the tone for the negotiation, the rest of the matter is to let the ministers in charge of the negotiation of the court continue to play their cards according to the tone.

His aim is to put obstacles in the way of negotiations between the two countries, so that the negotiations can be prolonged indefinitely and never reach an agreement that is mutually acceptable. He deliberately exposed his flaws that night, so that Xing Chensang thought that he had seen through his conspiracy, so that he could sit down with peace of mind and assist him in carrying out the negotiations.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the first month, Xiao Yu's catastrophe came as scheduled. At this time, Luo Ming had already raised his Shuangyan to a new height, and the power of one arm and one punch had reached tens of thousands of catties.
