Chapter 142: Bargaining

Zhou Shikai blinked and didn't turn back for a while.

It turns out that this kid is waiting for himself here, paying off the military expenses? Isn't it just a lion's big mouth and a rip-off?

Zhou Shikai leaned back slightly, then gave Zhang Di a look and motioned for him to talk.

Zhang Di immediately stood next to Chu He, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then look at this military expenditure...... How much do we have to offer? ”

But he didn't expect Chu He to accept it at all.

"Then it depends on the sincerity of your army, how much money you give, how much we do. After all, I have to report to General Chen Shida when I go back, that old man is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if you give too little, he may not be able to agree to help. ”

Gu Sanzhou rolled his eyes in anger, and directly raised his legs and walked to the window, looking at the lake outside, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhang Di laughed dryly twice and looked at Zhou Shikai, wanting to get instructions.

As a result, the master did not even look at him, and turned his head away.

Obviously, Zhou Shikai wanted to put all the problems on Zhang Di and be the shopkeeper himself.

Zhang Di felt that he was caught in the middle by the big shots, and his breathing was not smooth. He reluctantly turned his head and held out a finger.

"What does Mr. Chu think of this number?"

He meant one million taels of silver, Zhou Shikai nodded secretly, this was also the price in his heart, and looked at Chu He, hoping that he would agree.

Chu He frowned slightly, embarrassed: "Ten million taels, this number, you make it a little difficult for me to do." ”

At this time, not only Zhang Di was dumbfounded, but even Zhou Shikai, who was wealthy, was choked with saliva and began to cough violently.

Gu Sanzhou, who was standing in front of the window and looking at the sky, didn't turn around, but he had already reached out and scratched a large piece of the window frame, obviously angry to the extreme.

Zhang Di hurriedly said: "No...... It's not ten million taels. ”

Chu He suddenly raised his eyebrows, "It won't be 100 million taels, right?" Are you really so rich? ”

Zhou Shikai glared at Zhang Di viciously, and then squeezed out a smile, "Brother Chu, this 10 million taels is a huge number for me, even if I treat my brother, I can't exchange it for so much silver." ”

The Zhou family has been in charge of the eastern border of the Shengguo for several generations, the people have been in charge of the country for more than two hundred years, and countless people have been looted.

Chu He smiled and said, "Ten million taels of silver, this is my bottom line, otherwise I can't say that we General Chen can't move." Lord Ming, you also know that we have a feud, if we don't let some blood out, why should Liang Jun help? ”

Zhang Di was completely stunned, and began to speak again, "Chu Sizuo, Chu General Bing, my General Chu!" This, this, this...... Let's join forces against the King Army, it's a win-win situation. ”

Chu He shook his head and said: "I said, if you have the ability, let him Han Jun lead his troops to attack my Dachong Pass City, then I will count him as a man." ”

Zhang Di was completely out of ideas, and retreated behind Zhou Shikai with a smoke, not daring to raise his head again.

Zhou Shikai secretly cursed a few words of waste in his heart, but he had no choice but to ask Chu He again.

"Brother, this 10 million taels is really difficult to get together for a while, or ...... I'll give you some of it first, and I'll pay back the rest later. Anyway, my son is with you, so you don't have to be afraid that I will regret it, right? ”

The Chu River, where oil and salt do not enter, is still immovable, "If the silver is not enough, you can also use other things to make it up, according to the market price." ”

"Shall we ...... Redeem a portion of grain and grass? ”

Before Chu He could speak, Zhang Di hurriedly interjected: "The prince must not, the movement of escorting grain and grass is too big, if someone with a heart sees us trading grain and grass with Liang Jun, it will definitely cause an uproar." And now that Han Jun is in the east, if he is allowed to seize the handle, he will definitely make a big fuss about it. ”

When Zhou Shikai heard this, he also felt that it was very reasonable, it was really not good to send grain and grass to Liang Jun, not to mention the truth, and Han Jun would grab the pigtails.

So he looked at Chu He in embarrassment, "Brother, look at this ......"

Chu He nodded, "Using grain and grass to offset this matter, the movement is too big, and it really won't work." ”

Zhou Shikai slapped his thigh, "That's right! Then let's cash out the 10 million taels in batches? ”

"You don't need food or grass, you can use something else."

"Huh?"

Chu He smiled mysteriously and leaned over slightly, "Lord Mingwang, you can also prepare Yuan Shi and discount it at the market price." ”

Zhou Shikai opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "Yuan...... Yuanshi. ”

Chu He took out the two top-grade yuan stones in his arms in time and played with them in the palm of his hand.

"Actually, we have a lot of these things over there, and it's up to you how much to use for silver."

Zhou Shikai stared at the two crystal clear top-grade Yuan Stones, his eyes were a little straight, he really didn't expect that Liang Jun was so rich now, and he casually took out two priceless top-grade Yuan Stones.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Shikai felt that there was really no other way, so he had to obey.

"Okay, brother, I will prepare seven million taels of silver, and the remaining three million taels will be discounted at the market price for yuan stones."

General Chu, who had been sitting upright, finally smiled and patted King Ming's shoulder beside him.

"Hahaha, that's right, let's cooperate for a win-win situation."

Zhou Shikai smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. And Gu Sanzhou, who was standing in the distance, was already so angry that his face turned blue and white for a while.

After negotiating the price, everything after that will be smooth.

The two sides agreed to work together and share intelligence on the issue of targeting Han Jun, the king of Chi, and his 100,000 troops, and strive to keep the first elite of this so-called prosperous country in the east completely.

"Then let's just say it, and Zhang Di will inform you of all the actions on Han Jun's side after that."

Chu He also smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we will definitely cooperate fully." In addition, the military expenses promised by His Excellency King Ming can be paid as soon as possible. As I said earlier, our great general, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. ”

Zhou Shikai stood up, "What this king promised, naturally he will not go on a business trip." When General Chu is in charge of Liangzhou in the future, then everything will be easy to say. Our two families can be friendly for generations and never invade, which is also for the sake of the suffering people of the two countries. ”

Chu He felt a little ridiculous, but he knew what the "Non-Aggression Pact" was, and even more so knew that the so-called agreement between the two major military blocs was no different from bullshit, just listen to it.

"Okay, okay, I'm thinking about this too, Brother Zhou Yan and I are brothers, and in the future, our two families will definitely coexist peacefully, without a war for a hundred years."

"It's getting late, we should go back, there's still a lot of work for me to deal with." While speaking, Zhou Shikai walked outside the cabin, and Zhang Di and Gu Sanzhou hurriedly followed.

Chu He also got up and walked out with them, but was stopped by Zhou Shikai.

"Brother, you have come all the way here, and I have nothing to entertain you. In this way, you will rest here for the night today, and Han'er will accompany you. ”

After speaking, Zhou Shikai smiled and pointed to the tall woman who was still stroking the qin.

Qiao Han immediately stopped and stood up obediently.

Zhou Shikai patted Chu He's shoulder, "Brother, relax and enjoy." ”
