Meng Dun said vaguely, but Shi Qian understood it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, everyone knew it!

Shi Qian immediately said: "The Northern Frontier Army and the Ice Plain Army are in the same breath and branches, and they come out of the same vein. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info thanks to the blessing of our duke, the Ice Legion has a small amount of money, and it is also a duty to give some pensions for their brothers. I believe that if the Ice Plain Army is in danger, our Northern Frontier Army will definitely help!"

Monton nodded: "It's nature!"

Shi Qian said: "Lord Mengton, I don't know how the casualties of the Northern Frontier Army were?"

Meng Dun and several major generals around him glanced at each other, and said with a slightly red face: "The casualties of the Northern Frontier Army, uh, it depends on how much your army's pension is?"

As soon as he said this, the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army all lowered their heads, too ashamed, too embarrassed. This is equivalent to clearly telling the other party that the more money you pay, the greater the number of casualties on my side, but everyone knows what the so-called casualties are!

This is blatant fraud! However, thinking of the current financial predicament in northern Xinjiang, the imperial court refused to provide more money and food, and the heads of the generals were raised a little higher!

Thankfully, the allied Icefield Legion generals don't mean anything to disdain.

Shi Qian was very "understanding" and said: "So the more the merrier!"

Li Hemp, who was next to him, couldn't help but pop anymore, and sprayed the tea he had just put into his mouth on the table, he boasted that he was well-informed, and he really hadn't heard that casualties can be more and better!

He shook his head with emotion, what is this called!

A group of military generals imitate those hypocritical civil officials to play word games. To put it bluntly, one on both sides lacks money and the other lacks people, and one has more money and one person has more. This transaction is not in the dark, but it is necessary to set up a memorial arch to show the high wind and bright festival, which is good, it is better than the flirt between prostitutes and prostitutes.

Li Hao wiped his mouth, looked at the murderous eyes of a group of soldiers, and said slowly: "Generals, in fact, the Duke has already explained, just implement it according to four words!"

Monton said nervously: "What four words!"

Li Hao smiled reservedly: "These four words are - no cap!"

Immediately, there was a long exhalation in the tent, and they were all apparently relieved.

Mengton and several major generals in Northern Xinjiang were all bright-eyed and frightening.

Monton blurted out, "Is that true?"

Shi Qian said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Mengton, although you are our old commander, you can't look down on us! Our Ice Plain Legion has always been foaming at the mouth of the nail, and we will do what we say!"

Monton also realized that something was wrong, and coughed repeatedly, "Well, I'm not suspicious of anything. It's just that, you have to understand, the vampire army is very vicious, and the number of casualties on our side is really large.

Moreover, Shi Qian, you also know that although our northern Xinjiang is not as luxurious as God's, the cost of food and clothing is not low. These fallen soldiers' families, none of them are old or young, they are all the pillars of the family, and they just went, and those ten or eight younger brothers and sisters who were still dragging their noses had no way to live.

So, that's a big deal!"

Li Hao rolled his eyes, this is a typical kicking his nose in the face, but considering that he is soft-spoken, if he doesn't want to be severely disabled, it's better to keep his mouth shut. Now, I can only hope for Shi Qian, who is in charge of the negotiation, don't be stupid!

Shi Qian naturally heard the name of Mengton's words, and he asked tentatively, "I don't know how much Lord Mengton thinks is appropriate?"

Monton glanced at several major generals again, and said with a righteous face: "This-we have asked the most professional people to help calculate, all the fallen soldiers, regardless of their rank, the average pension for each of them is about, well, one hundred gold coins......"

Monton cautiously glanced at the people opposite, for fear that the other party would tear off the table and leave when he heard the number. However, what surprised and saddened him was that the other party didn't care when he heard this number, yes, whether it was Shi Qian or Li Hemp, he didn't even move his eyelids, this calmness made Meng Dun regret it, he knew that he wanted too little.

Monton immediately coughed violently, his fingers unconsciously churning the air: "Uh, it doesn't seem right, it should be a mistake, yes, yes...... Two hundred gold coins!"

He directly doubled the number, so much so that several major generals around him all secretly took a breath.

However, Shi Qian still blinked his innocent eyes, and Li Hao frowned.

Meng Dun was desperate in his heart, just like this, he hadn't reached the bottom line of the other party! It seemed that he could only be shameless to the end, he patted his head and said: "Look at me, I'm old and confused, I can't even remember a number, it should be five hundred gold coins, yes, it's five hundred gold coins! There will be no mistake this time!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a plop, and the major general next to Monton fell to the ground, there was no way, Monton was nervous, and accidentally kicked off the chair leg, and it was the chair leg of the person next to him!

Li Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore, even if he became a disabled person, he would expose the other party's shameless blackmail. He pretended to be casual and asked, "Lord Monton, do you know how much five hundred gold coins would be if converted into the Empire's Bright Banknote?"

Meng Dun was stunned, and hurriedly calculated secretly, and couldn't help but blush: "Well, a gold coin is worth two thousand bright coins, and five hundred gold coins is about one million bright coins......! The prices in our northern Xinjiang are quite high!"

Li Hao smiled and said: "My lord, in fact, the one million bright coins you said is the level before the war, due to the repeated wars in the empire since last year, resulting in a shortage of materials and soaring prices, now five hundred gold coins, in the Bright Dynasty, should be able to exchange for three million bright coins."

Generals, I have had the privilege of living in the Imperial Capital City for many years. An average family there will not spend more than 50,000 Bright Coins a year. Even if it's one million Bright Coins, it's enough to support them for twenty years!

So, I don't think this number should be ......"

Shi Qian looked at the generals of Northern Xinjiang who were getting lower and lower, and suddenly interrupted: "Okay, it's decided, the pension for each fallen soldier is five hundred gold coins!"

Li Hao was stunned and said, "What?" He said his feelings for a long time, and all his saliva was in vain!

Shi Qian said coldly: "There are no cowards in Northern Xinjiang, every soldier is a treasure, just count it as five hundred gold coins!"

Li Ma hurriedly said: "But ......"

Shi Qian said impatiently: "No, but I will explain it to Lord Duke!"

Li Hao shrugged, he also knew the status of Shi Qian and Northern Xinjiang in the heart of the Duke, although this amount was a bit large, with the Duke's personality, he might not object. Thinking of this, he was silent!

Seeing the two arguing, Monton was a little embarrassed: "If there is trouble, I can ask someone to recalculate the ......"

Shi Qian said with a straight face: "Lord Mengton, don't count it anymore! The Ice Plain Army and the Northern Frontier Army are brothers, and they are real brothers. The Duke has said that if brothers work together, they will lose money! It's just a little money, you don't have to care!"

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Monton had no choice but to nod.

Shi Qian said again: "Next, let's take a look at the number of people." My lord, can you give me an exact number now?

Meng Dun said: "The five major generals around me are all subordinate to the Northwest Army of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the 50,000 elites under his command are all divisions of a hundred battles, including 30,000 infantry troops and 20,000 cavalry troops, all of whom can stay!"

Shi Qian nodded, turned his head to Li Hemp and said, "Marijuana, calculate, how many gold coins do we need to pay?"

Li Hao twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Two hundred and fifty million gold coins!"

"How much?" Shi Qian screamed.

"Two hundred and fifty million gold coins!" Li Hemp repeated through gritted teeth.

Shi Qian coughed desperately, and he snapped his fingers in distraction, with five hundred gold coins on one side and fifty thousand soldiers on the other. It doesn't sound like much, but how can it add up to be so scary?

"It's not adding up, it's multiply!" Li Hao mercilessly pierced Shi Qian's poor arithmetic skills.
