"Lord Li, you have torn up the agreement between the two countries by detaining our Babel without authorization. I don't know if the Ming Emperor knew about this, should he reward you or chop off your head. ”

"Miss Green Bead, let's get some dry goods. Is it interesting to say that these things are not nutritious? If His Majesty the Emperor knows, I will give you some more money and give dividends to the Emperor. You can tell our Emperor that you will have to pay more in that case.

In fact, how special my identity is in the Ming Dynasty, you should also know that the Ming court's constraints on me are really limited. Even the emperor was willing to be an accomplice with me after receiving the money. In our Ming Dynasty, there is a saying, called money can make ghosts grind.

Therefore I advise you not to think about it, and to bring evil to your great Khan's money. If you Khan had known, he would have chopped off your head. ”

"You're ......!" Green Bead was so angry that her head was smoking, but there was nothing she could do. It seems that every time I talk to this guy, I will suffer, think about how I am usually very sharp, how can I become like this in front of this guy.

"I'm actually a good person, you don't know. So many of my brothers have to rely on me to eat and chew, and the cost is too great. I have no choice but to ask you for a little bit from the Great Khan, but in fact I don't ask for much from the letter I gave to your Great Khan. If you do the math, it's actually a matter of tens of millions of taels of silver. ”

"Get out!" Green Bead is going crazy.

Tens of millions of taels of silver, the Ming treasury is not so much. Not to mention the inside of Houjin's treasury!

"Master Li, you don't have the sincerity to negotiate." Lu Zhu stared at Li Xiao viciously, eager to tear Li Xiao to pieces. If his eyes could kill, Li Xiao's body must be full of holes now.

"Yes, how not. I've always been interested in making a fortune, and how much money are you prepared to pay to redeem Huang Taiji. Li Xiao saw the appearance of Lu Zhu puffing and puffing, this girl's chest fluctuated very much, and it was difficult for normal men not to have reverie.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"What! I heard you right, the dignified Eight Baylors. The banner owner of the white flag, Baylor Huang Taiji, is worth 100,000 taels of silver? My God, hurry up and raise the price, otherwise Huang Taiji will be laughed at when he goes back, don't lie to you, I'm not joking. Now I'll give you a chance, and you can open another reasonable price. Li Xiao looked at the green beads very seriously.

“……！” For this reason, Lu Zhu was speechless.

"Well, I don't think you can come up with a reasonable price. It's better to eat a little bit of silver, and I will lose 100,000 taels of silver. However, our Ming people are slaves after you, which is really unusual. How about you pay me back 300,000 people? You see, how good I am. I also know how to help you find a way, 100,000 taels of silver was proposed by you, and I didn't even bargain, so it's sincere enough. ”

Li Xiao spread his hands, and at that moment, Lu Zhu seemed to feel that he had taken advantage.

"Three hundred thousand!" It was just that he was stunned for a fraction of a second, and the green bead sprang up like a cat that had stepped on its tail.

"Click! Click! Click! More than a dozen long and short firearms were aimed at Lu Zhu and the two bears behind him, and the roast chicken held a dagger in his hand. The collar of the neck was grabbed by Li Xiao, otherwise the green bead girl would probably have been seriously injured at this time.

"Put it down, put the gun down. You can't treat customers like this, people are here to give us silver. Put down your guns, Miss Green Bead, and I apologize to you for them. They are all rough people, they have no culture, you are more tolerant. ”

Li Xiao had the most sincere smile on his face, and he had a full profiteer face.

Chen Fu's jaw was about to fall to the ground, even if he was shameless enough, he didn't expect this kid to be even more shameless than himself.

Li Hu looked at the eldest brother with a look of admiration, this is what it is like to be a family, in order to find money for the brothers, is it easy!

"Silver can be increased to 300,000, but people can't." The green bead bit the price, and when it came out, Li Yongfang explained that the authority of the green bead could be up to 600,000 taels of silver. This price is already sky-high.

"The silver may be reduced to eighty thousand, but one must have three hundred thousand. Watching us Han people as slaves in your Jurchens makes me feel uncomfortable. The number of people cannot be changed! Li Xiao also bit the price to death, and he will definitely not let go on the issue of numbers.

"I will never agree to this condition!" Lu Zhu gritted her teeth, she didn't expect Li Xiao to ask Houjin for the population.

"If you don't agree, I won't let people go, even if we can't negotiate. I can also make a lot of money by selling Huang Taiji to the imperial court, not to mention anything else, at least I, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, should be able to be promoted by one liter. Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"I can't answer you about this matter now, I need to go back to Liaoyang." Midori took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"No problem, I can wait for your message. Anyway, it's not far from Liaoyang! But that's right, this matter must be solved before the New Year. I don't want to spend the Chinese New Year here, my sister is still young. I've been running outside for a year, and I'm panicking. ”

"Lord Li is quite family-oriented, so I can say that I will definitely give Mr. Li an answer before the New Year." There is still a month to celebrate the New Year, and there is still time to fight with this profiteer.

Luzhu didn't waste time, and took a small boat back to the land to discuss with someone at a higher level. Originally, this kind of thing could not be talked about at one time. After all, after a period of time, the process of bargaining cannot be omitted. The price is close to the psychological tolerance of both parties, and the final transaction will be made. That's true for any buying and selling!

Ticket kidnapping is essentially a business.

"Boy, you really want to get 300,000 people back. That's not just 300,000 people, it's 300,000 mouths. The amount of food consumed per day, the amount of truckloads. If you ask someone to come, you have to take care of the food. Chen Fu looked at Li Xiao with some puzzlement, he didn't believe that Li Xiao was because he couldn't get used to seeing the Han people being enslaved by the Jurchens. The word national righteousness has no attraction to the old guy, who has lived all his life and licked blood with his knife for a lifetime.

What the old guy really believes in is real money, and maybe he still has future generations.

The descendants of his Chen Fu family!

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I really don't want to see the Han people enslaved by foreign races. Although 300,000 mouths are many, the current food is almost enough to feed. I still have some silver on hand, and I have to feed these people if I can't buy grain from the south.

Don't look so weird, that's what I really thought. Conscience of heaven and earth! Chen Fu looked at Li Xiao with a look in his eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Humph! Conscience? How much is a pound? In these years, all those who speak of conscience are buried in the earth. I heard that Yang Lianzuo Guangdou was killed by your friend Xu Xianchun.

I have seen Yang Lian, and in my conscience I can say that he is good among the officials in this year. It's a shame to die like this. ”

"There's no way to do it, and the whip can't do it. I'm not a god, I can control everything in this world. It can guarantee that from the hands of the Tartars, there will be more suffering people. I think it's more meaningful than saving Yang Lian!

In the final analysis, Yang Lian is also an official. In this officialdom, no one is absolutely right. When Yang Lian was tidying up, his hands were also dark. If you want to talk about corruption and bribery, in fact, all the officials in the court are doing it. If you really check it, it's not as clean as the fucking ones. After all, everyone has a big family, and everyone wants to marry more wives.

Your superiors are greedy, and your subordinates are greedy. Your colleagues are greedy, are you not greedy? If you dare not be greedy, you are a different kind of motherfucker, and you are not allowed to be in the entire officialdom. The superior gives you small shoes to wear, and the subordinate disobeys you. At the same level, he will quietly stumble on your tricks. Do you have to live that day? ”

"Humph! You kid can be regarded as having seen through the officialdom, and if you think about it, it's really like that. Where do you settle these 300,000 people? That's 300,000 people, and you have to have so much food and so many houses. It's winter! ”

"Let's build more thatched houses at Shanhaiguan, and when spring begins, we will have land to plant." After surviving this year, the food will be found. ”

"You're going to divide the land of the court? It's a big sin, take it easy. ”

"Where his mother's Tartars occupy, I will take it back and return it to those officials and masters in the court? Beauty kills them. ”

Li Xiao and Chen Fu walked back while talking.

The two of them returned to the house, and Li Hu had already asked people to tidy up a table of wine and food. There's nothing better than a drink in the middle of winter.

Luzhu didn't make Li Xiao wait long, and five days later, Luzhu came again.

"You can give 300,000 taels of silver, but you can only give 100,000." Green Beads clearly have a greater mandate.

"500,000 silver, 200,000 people." Li Xiao rolled his eyes, he had such a big yellow croaker as Huang Taiji in his hand, how could he blackmail him.

Things are so strange in the world, and the fate of hundreds of thousands of people is put at the negotiating table by those who hold power as bargaining chips. The current Li Xiao and Luzhu are no different from the owners and customers who buy crabs in the market.

Hundreds of thousands of lives were put on the table and talked about by both sides.

Li Xiao never thought that he could have this kind of power. At a certain moment, Li Xiao had a wonderful feeling. He felt that the world was changing according to his will, and everything around him was revolving around him. Could it be that this is the life of a big man? Is this the smell of power?

"The silver is five hundred thousand, and the population is one hundred and fifty thousand. You can't be less anymore, and if you can't go. Tomorrow, I will have someone send Huang Taiji to the capital. It's almost the New Year, please Your Majesty, and my official position will definitely rise again. For such bargaining, Li Xiao began to get tired of it. Because it won't be long before Houjin spits out everything they have obtained in Liaodong. At this time, bargaining is meaningless.

"Deal!" Green beads blushed and gritted their teeth. A population of 150,000 is a huge expense for Houjin. Of course, the most out of these slaves is the white flag.

The once strong white flag, after this time. It's likely to slump, but that's not something Midori can manage. Although the population was beyond her purview, it was not possible. She could not risk the collapse of the negotiations and fight to the end.

"You look for him about the handover." The big guys are like that, after setting the tone, the rest of the things don't matter. Li Xiao was ready to pat his ass and leave, handing over the matter to Ai Husheng, who rushed over from Shanhaiguan. Professional things have to be done by professional people.

"Green bead girl, long time no see!" Ai Husheng smiled and looked at Lu Zhu.

"Li Xiao! We adults want to see you! Lu Zhu stopped Li Xiao, everyone knew who the adult in her mouth was. Who else could there be besides that Li Yongfang and Li Baylor!

"Your Excellency, but he's not my immediate boss. He can see what he wants? Why should I see him? Li Xiao replied disdainfully, he really didn't have a good impression of this traitor. If possible, he would love to add the word dog in front of the name of this traitor. Dog traitor!

"When we adults see you, we naturally have your benefits." Lu Zhu's big watery eyes looked at Li Xiao, she seemed to know the man in front of her for the first time.

The kid under the city of Pyongyang is now a prince with heavy troops. Even, he can change the situation in Liaodong with his backhand. Until now, facing Li Xiao, Lu Zhu couldn't believe that the kid in front of him was the most fierce enemy of the Houjin Empire.

"What's in it for you?" Li Xiao looked at the green beads like a ruffian.

"We Houjin not only have farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, but also caravans. We had caravans to Mongolia, caravans to the South Seas, and caravans to the Wa Kingdom. Lu Zhu looked at Li Xiao with burning eyes.

"Okay, where can I see you?" Li Xiao looked at the green beads with a smile. Of course he knew what Green Bead meant!

"Let you go to Liaodong, I'm afraid you don't want to. Or each in a boat, see you at sea. ”

"Okay, I'm fine. As long as he dares! ”

"Since my family dares to come, there is naturally a perfect way."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Libele."

The sea is Li Xiao's territory, and as long as the five-masted ship is dispatched, Li Yongfang will not be able to escape.

However, this should not work, if Li Yongfang sees a galleon without five masts, it is estimated that he will not even go to the sea.

Ai Husheng quickly talked to the people brought by Lu Zhu about the details, and Lu Zhu followed Li Xiao to the sea in a small boat.

It's cold at sea in winter, even the mink coat on board is still fucking cold. Li Xiao wears an otter's hat on his head and ear bags on his ears. He was wearing a mink coat and a pair of shiny cowhide boots on his feet.

Even so, the sea breeze still hurts like a knife on the face. Li Xiao decided that he must wear a leather mask when he comes out next time.

Lu Zhu glanced at Li Xiao's appearance, and snorted "hum" in his nose, which was red from the cold. Looking at Li Xiao's eyes, there is contempt in them, you despise a yarn. Lao Tzu wears a lot, don't you fucking dress like a sparrow?

"It's coming!" Not long after going to sea, a boat appeared in front of me. It's so close to the coast that you can even see the pier.

The two boats approached quickly, as the boat gang leaned against the boat gang.

With a "bang", a guy in a big hat jumped onto the deck.
