Chapter 288: Big Food's Request

was rejected by Hajaj again, 50 million really couldn't afford it, Li Jing had to continue to lower the ransom to 10 million, which was his final bottom line.

The price couldn't be lower, Li Jing didn't believe that the empire, which spanned three continents and covered an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, was unwilling to take out 10 million to redeem their soldiers?

That's only sorry, where did you come from and go back to where you wanted, and if you want to take people away without spending a penny, it's absolutely impossible.

Although Datang does not raise idlers, these strong men are good at coolies.

Moreover, if you don't agree now, and if you want to redeem these people later, then it won't be this price!

When the translator told Hajaji what Li Jing meant, Hajaji shook his head and refused, Da Shi was only willing to give one million, not one more!

The current big food is not rich, where can I get so much money?

In the end, Li Jing didn't bother to talk nonsense with Hajjaji, and asked people to take Hajaji down first, and as for the negotiation, it was better to leave it to the minister!

When it comes to the ransom, Li Jing has only one condition, that is, the price cannot be less than 10 million!

Hajjaj was sent back to the inn, and the side immediately organized a negotiation team, formulated a negotiation policy, and began to negotiate with Hajjaj.

After three days of negotiations, the Datang delegation finally won!

In order to redeem their soldiers, Hajaji paid a price of 15 million, and Datang allowed installments, but Dashi had to pay a down payment of 3 million before he could take people away.

……

Cuiwei Palace, including the wind hall.

At this moment, Li Jing is half-lying down, leaning on a young and beautiful maid, the maid on the left feeds him grapes, the maid on the right fans him, and a maid on each leg massages him.

In front of me, there are maids dancing to the music played by the musicians!

Imperial enjoyment, but that's it!

This is Li Jing's simple, unpretentious daily life.

Under the leadership of the inner servant, Honglu Siqing came to Li Jing's face.

"See the saint!"

Honglu Temple Qing crossed his hands and saluted.

Li Jing got up and waved back left and right, the musician stopped playing, the maids stopped dancing, and even the maids who served Li Jing got up and said goodbye!

After retiring from the audience, Li Jing asked, "How was the discussion?"

"The minister is willing to pay fifteen million taels of gold to ransom the soldiers of the Great Food who were captured by our army, and according to your instructions of the saint, they are allowed to pay in installments."

"The Great Food Society will pay three million taels of gold before they can take their people away."

Honglu Temple Qing said respectfully.

Li Jing was a little surprised when he heard this, he only needed tens of millions of money, but he didn't ask for gold!

Honglu Siqing, are they asking for too much money?

But it's okay, who would be unhappy to be able to take gold?

"It's hard work!"

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction.

"I can share the worries of the saints! This is what a minister should do!"

Honglu Siqing said with a smile.

"When will this first ransom arrive?"

Li Jing asked directly, he had thought about it, this ransom did not go into the treasury and did not belong to the imperial court, after all, it was not a good business.

It's better to put it directly into my inner pocket, not only will I be happy, but it will also put an end to bad habits.

"The Great Food Messenger has already sent someone back to raise money, plus the time to go back and forth, how can it take about half a year, and when the spring starts next year, the money will be delivered!"

Honglu Siqing said.

There is no way, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is too far away from the national capital of Dashi, and there is no way to send the money over quickly, half a year is considered fast!

After Li Jing heard this, his fiery mood decreased a little, and this time span was inevitably too long.

It seems that in order to intensify the construction of railways, it is better to pave it directly to Central Asia, which will save a lot of time!

It would be better if we could build an airplane, but with the current level of science and technology, it is impossible to build an airplane, and there is still a long way to go to build an airplane.

What a long way to go!

There is no hurry, and it will be possible one day.

"In this way, send someone to inform the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, let them receive the sincerity money, and send those prisoners to Longyou, so that they can be in Longyou Tuntian."

"The sincerity gold of the big food, when it can be delivered, let them go back."

Li Jing changed the name of the ransom, ransom, ransom called, how do you feel like a bandit, the state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, naturally you have to change it to something better.

"No!"

Honglu Temple Qing answered.

"Do you have any other requirements from the Great Emissary besides the dignitaries?"

Li Jing doesn't believe that Da Shi is simply to ask for peace, plus to pay money to ransom people, there must be a deeper purpose, such as sending people to study, in fact, Zhengda Guangming sent spies to Datang to inquire about intelligence.

I want to find a way to defeat Datang by learning!

Even if they are really allowed to learn, they do not have the strength to develop and grow, let alone threaten Datang.

"The Great Food Envoy hopes that he can send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to learn advanced culture, and the minister wants to ask the sage's opinion?"

Honglu Siqing felt that not long ago, he was inseparable from Da Shi, and now people want to send people to Datang to study, if there is no problem, he absolutely does not believe it.

It is based on this that Honglu Siqing wants to ask Li Jing's opinion, if Li Jing agrees, he naturally has nothing to say, if he does not agree, he will make the Great Food Envoy retreat!

"That's it? What else? ”

Li Jing asked again, Da Shi asked to send a Tang envoy to study in Da Tang, which was expected, nothing unusual.

In Li Jing's limited cognition of Da Shi, Da Shi is not a good stubble, even if it is a temporary submission, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Sage Shengming, Da Shi not only wants to send Tang envoys to Chang'an, but also asks the Tang army to withdraw from Central Asia and return the Khorasan region to them."

Honglu Siqing replied with a serious face, he knew that it took so much effort for Datang to keep the Khorasan region, and it was absolutely impossible to give Da Shi. m.

Besides, the Khorasan region was not originally a great cannibal, it was the territory of the Sassanid Persians, but it was robbed by the great cannibalism.

Da Shi was embarrassed to lick his face, saying that the Khorasan region was theirs, and he blushed for them!

"Da Shi is really a thief, and he is still fighting the idea of the Huluoshan region, if I don't agree to them, will I dare to rob them?"

Li Jing sneered after hearing this.

It took so much effort to keep the territory, you said you wanted it, and you really used yourself as a dish!

Li Jing naturally would not agree to this request of Da Shi, and he was not afraid that Da Shi would gather an army to attack again!

In the previous battle, the Umayyad dynasty suffered a big loss, which gave the opposition within the Great Eclipse an idea.

Abdel-Makli may now be in the midst of quelling an internal rebellion.

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