Chapter 287: Negotiate the price

Li Jing lived in Cuiwei Palace, and there was no major matter for him to deal with for a few days, Li Jing lived a leisurely life, and called a group of beautiful maids to perform for him when he had nothing to do.

Half a month later, someone came to report that the envoy of Dashi arrived in Chang'an and asked to see Li Jing!

As soon as he heard that the money was coming, Li Jing's eyes immediately lit up, and he ordered someone to send the Great Food Messenger over, and he wanted to personally meet the Great Food Messenger in Cuiwei Palace.

The messenger of the Great Food was soon sent to Li Jing.

"His Majesty the Great Food Caliph sent a special envoy, Hajjaji, who has seen His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"

Hajjaj saluted Li Jing, and the interpreter conveyed his meaning to Li Jing.

Li Jing was stunned!

The Caliph of the Great Food, why did he send this goods?

Hajaj bin Yusuf, a famous general of the Umayyad dynasty, was originally a teacher at the Taifu school, but somehow, he suddenly joined the Umayyad army.

Since then, he pacified civil strife for the caliph Abdul Makli, expanded his territory, and was deeply appreciated by Abdul Makli, and finally became the governor of the eastern part of the Great Food.

One of his two generals, Qu Dibo, was the governor of the Khorasan region, and the other was his nephew and son-in-law Muhammad, the governor of Northern Tianzhu.

Because Hajjaj bin Youssef killed a large number of disloyal people during the suppression of the rebellion, he was called the "brutal Nile" by later historians of the Great Food!

In short, this is a scheming and brutal fellow.

"Excuse me! Your caliph sent you to the Tang Dynasty, what is the so-called? ”

Li Jing asked, asking the translator on the side to translate for Hajaji.

"Sage, the Great Food Messenger said that he came to Datang to negotiate peace with Datang on the orders of the Caliph, hoping that Dashi can get along with Datang forever, and there is a letter from the Caliph."

The translator conveyed Li Jing's words to Hajjaji, who replied, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the translator, who translated his meaning to Li Jing.

Li Jing frowned after hearing this, he couldn't even understand the other party's words, if you give me a letter from your text now, I can't read it!

"Read!"

Li Jing looked at the translator and motioned for the translator to translate the contents of the letter directly to him.

The translator hurriedly opened the letter and carefully reviewed it, and then spoke: "Sage, this is the cordial greeting of the Great Food Caliph Abdul Makli to you!"

"I am deeply sorry for my reckless behavior and the war that led to it!"

"Abdul also said that he hopes that Datang and Dashi will be reconciled and never invade each other, and in order to show his sincerity, he will offer some treasures and a lion!"

After listening to the translated letter, Li Jing showed a smile on his face, since it was a gift of tribute, there was no reason not to accept it, the lion and the treasure Li Jing all smiled unceremoniously!

"What kind of treasure did the Great Food pay tribute to?"

Li Jing squinted his eyes and asked, like a wealth fan.

The interpreter immediately conveyed Li Jing's words to Hajjaji.

After hearing this, Hajaj said, "I have a list here!"

With that, Hajjaj took out the list of treasures from his bosom and handed it to the translator.

When the translator opened it, it said Da Shi text, he could understand it, but Li Jingke couldn't understand it!

"What's on the list?"

After listening to Li Jing's words, the translator opened it and took a closer look, and was about to open his mouth to report to Li Jing, but Li Jing stretched out his hand to interrupt his words and said:

"That's it! You don't have to read it, I can't read it anyway, so you can go back and translate the list and present it to me!"

"Obey the order!"

The interpreter put away the list and saluted with his hands crossed.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Li Jing asked, hoping that the other party could get into the topic as soon as possible and talk about spending money to ransom people!

The translator told Hajaji about Li Jing's problem, Hajaji explained a few words to the translator, and the translator turned to Li Jing and said: "Back to the sage, the Great Food Envoy said that in addition to paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty this time, I also hope that the Tang Dynasty can release the soldiers of the Great Food."

"Release people, there is no problem with this, but the food, accommodation, health examination fees, and many people who have been injured by the big food soldiers, this treatment fee cannot be less, you must pay money to take people away."

The translator immediately told Hajaji what Li Jing meant, Hajaji nodded, and said to the translator, but Li Jing didn't understand it at all.

The interpreter turned around and said respectfully, "The Great Food Messenger said, how much do you want, saint?"

How much do I want? Naturally, the more the merrier!

However, this obviously won't work, and people won't agree to your lion's mouth.

"One hundred million!"

As soon as Li Jing's words came out, he directly frightened the translator, will this price be too ruthless, 100 million dollars, can Dashi take it out?

Under Li Jing's gaze, the translator had no choice but to convey Li Jing's words to Hajaji.

Hajjaj's face was stunned when he heard this!

I thought I was hallucinating and misheard what the translator said.

"Are you sure? 100 million? ”

Hajjaj asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure, it's a billion!"

The interpreter nodded, he was not deaf, how could he hear it wrong.

Hajaji gasped after hearing this, he never expected that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be so greedy.

How could a person so greedy have a strong army?

Oh! O my great Allah!

Could you please tell me what the hell is going on? How could I hear such words?

100 million, do you really dare to ask for it, do you think it's a weed all over the ground?

In the treasury of the Great Food, there are only a few million every year, and it can only be enough to save 100 million without eating or drinking for 50 years!

"Tell your emperor that 100 million is absolutely impossible!"

Hajaj gritted his teeth.

Li Jing wondered what Hajaji said? The interpreter turned around and said, "The messenger of the Great Eclipse said, do you want money!"

Li Jing's face instantly gloomy after hearing this, he wanted to go back, but he didn't want to give money, he thought it was quite beautiful, what did he think of me here?

If you want to be too expensive, you can bargain and refuse directly.

"Tell him that my Datang is a state of etiquette, and I won't bully him, there must be 50 million!"

Li Jing gritted his teeth.

Hajaji looked at the translator, and the translator said to Hajaji: "My Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, I will give you a discount, count you 50 million!"

Hajaji's face was also a little unsightly, 50 million was still too much, and the big food couldn't afford it at all, Hajaji shook his head and said, "It's still too expensive, can't it be cheaper?"

"I came with sincerity to express my friendship to Datang, how can you be so black-hearted, didn't asking for so much money cost me the life of a big cannibal?"

The translator also felt embarrassed when he heard it, 50 million is indeed a bit much.

The translator is also very helpless, but he can't be the master of this matter, if he can be the master, he will be exempted directly!

Some people died, but not completely......
