Chapter 241 Horses for gold, greedy Wang Cezhi!
After Wang Cezhi put forward a lot of conditions, the poisonous prince also raised some objections.
Although they were defeated, they were indeed fish on someone's board, but there were some conditions that they really couldn't come up with.
For example, the first one pays an annual tribute of 1 million taels of gold, 5 million catties of spices and 10 million stone of grain to Tianyun Kingdom.
After doubling, it will be 2 million taels of gold, 10 million catties of spices, and 20 million stone of grain.
This spice and grain are easy to say, and the big deal is to expand the planting area of spices, which is originally the daily edible ingredients of the poison country, and there is a large planting base.
As for the food, for the body poison that is three crops a year, even if they have already robbed two subas by the Tianyun Kingdom, they can take it out.
But only the two million taels of gold really embarrassed them.
After the eldest prince explained Wang Cezhi, he learned that although the body poison likes to use gold as decoration, the body poison is not rich in gold, and the existing gold has been accumulated over the generations, and I don't know how long it has been accumulated.
It is simply impossible to give Tianyun Kingdom as much as two million taels a year.
There is not so much gold in the poison country at all, and the eldest prince hopes to exchange it for a material.
Wang Cezhi nodded knowingly, he really didn't know that body poison was not rich in gold, he had seen so many gold decorations in the body poison palace, and those nobles still carried so many gold ornaments, he also thought that body poison was not short of gold.
I didn't expect it to be all ancestral, so many have been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no more.
After thinking for a while, Wang Cezhi took the initiative to ask: "Then do you have any gold materials here that can be replaced?" ”
After thinking for a moment, the eldest prince suddenly said:
"Yes!
We have a kind of horse called Usoma, which is extremely suitable for cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, and is a special war horse unique to my body poison!
Every Uso horse is worth a thousand dollars!
Even if I have accumulated poison over the years, I have only saved 40,000 horses, but it has been scattered all at once! ”
The eldest prince's face darkened.
Wang Cezhi's face sank immediately when he heard this.
"Poisonous lord, aren't you playing with foreign ministers?
Since this Usoma has been dispersed for a while, how can I compensate Tianyun with a million gold? ”
Wang Cezhi's questioning immediately made the poisonous prince panic, and hurriedly explained:
The envoy listened to Xiao Wang's explanation, although the adult Usoma had been lost in the war.
But with the cultivation of these years, my royal family has also begun to cultivate these Usoma on a large scale, and now there are 10,000 young horses that have not been slaughtered, and the rest of the young horses and pregnant mares are also about 10,000.
As long as it takes another year, these 10,000 young horses can be slaughtered, and the royal family already has a large-scale horse farm, and 10,000 Usuo horses can be slaughtered every year in the future, if the envoy agrees to use this Usuo horse as a gold deduction, I am willing to pay tribute to King Yun every year 2,000 Usuo horses as a deduction of two million gold! ”
Wang Cezhi thought for a while, turned his head and whispered in Song to Jiang Tiandao on the side: "Staff Officer Jiang, do you know how to read horses?" ”
Jiang Tian immediately nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice in Song language: "Lord Wang, don't worry, a certain person was once a soldier under Deputy Commander Guan, and he was also a member of the cavalry, so he naturally understands war horses. ”
Wang Cezhi suddenly showed joy, and then said: "Then wait a minute, you will see if that Usoma is worth so much gold!" ”
Jiang Tian immediately smiled and said, "Wrap it on me!" "A promise was made.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Cezhi immediately raised his head and said to the eldest prince: "Please also ask the eldest prince to bring a Wusuo horse, let me wait and take a good look, whether this horse is worth the price!" ”
Wang Cezhi's words were very straightforward, without the slightest concealment or meaning to the eldest prince, and his attitude was extremely arrogant!
The eldest prince looked at the hall and subconsciously asked, "Here?" ”
Wang Cezhi nodded affirmatively: "It's right here!" ”
The eldest prince was silent, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Wait a minute, Ambassador!"
After casually coping with a few words, the eldest prince slowly walked out of the hall by arranging war horses.
With a group of attendants to the invisible place of the main hall, and a little farther away from the main hall of the palace, the poisonous prince finally couldn't help it!
Loud roar!
"Ahh!!h
As soon as he pulled out the scimitar at his waist, he desperately slashed and chopped at a tree in front of him, venting the anger in his heart!
After a long time, the eldest prince gradually calmed down, and began to adjust his facial expressions as he let the attendants arrange their clothes.
Although angry, I feel greatly insulted!
However, others are stronger than themselves, and they are weaker than others, this is the reality!
The weak must honestly bear the dispatch of the strong!
Even if you are angry, you can only find a place to vent yourself!
And don't dare to make any drastic moves.
"Are things ready?"
When everything was ready, the eldest prince asked.
Immediately, a waiter replied, "It's ready, I think it's almost time to send it." ”
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he saw a Usoma with inward-curved ears being led by a stable.
The eldest prince nodded and walked towards the palace.
After walking out of the corner, the eldest prince coldly rushed to the palace guards on duty as he walked, and ordered: "Except for the stableman and the horse, kill all the attendants!" ”
Although the Janissaries did not understand why they were doing this, they did not need to understand either, just carry out the order.
Without hesitation, after saluting, the captain of the guard immediately called out a group of people, and when the attendants who were following the eldest prince walked out behind the eldest prince, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of palace guards.
After a while, everything was quiet again, and only a trembling stable, who did not understand what was happening, led Usoma and followed the eldest prince back to the main hall.
When the eldest prince returned, he asked the stables to send the horses to Wang Cezhi and the two, and then he sat back on the throne with a blank face, quietly waiting for them to watch the horses.
Seeing the war horse coming, Wang Cezhi immediately pulled Jiang Tian to the horse, and when he saw this pure brown Usuo horse, Jiang Tian's eyes lit up!
Immediately, I looked around and observed, and while watching, I also touched it.
Either touch the horse's back or the horse's legs, touch the calves and touch the thighs, and finally swing to look at the horse's head, open the horse's mouth to see the teeth, and then rush to Wang Ce's way:
"If you want to make this horse run two laps, this horse looks good and is a good horse.
But his body is too perfect, which is a bit of a problem, and with this body size, the leg bones should not be so coordinated.
But I don't know, the horses were very harmonious when they came in just now, but I still have to try to run! ”
Wang Cezhi nodded, turned his head and asked the eldest prince to test the horse.
The eldest prince asked expressionlessly, "Do you want to test horses in the palace?" ”
Wang Cezhi shook his head this time: "It's okay to be outside the palace." ”
The eldest prince's face softened a lot, and he nodded and let Jiang Tian and Usoma take out.
It didn't take long for Jiang Tian to come back, with some surprise on his face, and he leaned over to Wang Cezhi and whispered:
"It's a good horse! A horse is worth a thousand gold!
If it is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, it is two thousand gold, and some people want it! ”
Wang Cezhi's eyes lit up suddenly!
Looking at the eldest prince, there was greed in his eyes.
Coughing slightly, Wang Cezhi suddenly said to the eldest prince with a straight face: "The horse is not bad, it can be used to offset the gold, but the gold is the price of your body poison."
You only have Usoma, so it's expensive, but in our Tianyun Country, there are a lot of other war horses, so ......"
"So?"
The eldest prince asked rhetorically.
Wang Cezhi replied: "So this horse is not worth a thousand gold, at most one horse is worth two hundred and fifty gold, that is to say, the body poison needs to provide eight thousand Wusuo horses to the Tianyun Kingdom every year!" ”
"Don't be too greedy!"
The eldest prince stood up abruptly and looked at Wang Cezhi angrily.
He finally couldn't hold back his anger.
Only 10,000 horses are slaughtered in a year, and 8,000 are to be taken away, so he has more than 2,000 left, what can he do?
But Wang Cezhi's words suddenly turned things around.
"Of course, this horse should indeed be good, so my Tianyun Kingdom can do you a small favor, the lord of the country, you can bring it up, if you are not embarrassed, I Tianyun can also agree."
"Help?"
The angry eldest prince suddenly calmed down, and immediately thought of the thorn that hindered him!
If there is Tianyun people to help, I may be able to solve him!
