Chapter 107: The Art of Diplomacy

"Salt Soil Patriarch."

When the Yantu patriarch heard the voice, he saw that it was Lu Qiqi standing at another fork in the road and calling himself.

Only then did he come back to his senses and look away.

Lu Qiqi looked at his soulless look, the effect was good, she did it on purpose. Properly show a little muscle to facilitate the later chat, "Before we talk about the future development, it is necessary to talk about the compensation of the Yantu tribe to us. ”

The patriarch of the Yantu clan still had in his mind the appearance of a warrior in armor, standing in the sun, and he didn't hear what Lu Zhiji said clearly.

Never mind.

Just listen to the sacrifice.

"First: according to the amount of compensation we have to defend ourselves against losses, according to the amount of compensation of 1:10, the Yantu tribe shall pay us 300 slaves.

Second: According to the economic losses of our tribe during the war, the salt soil tribe needs to compensate 1,000 large game, 500 baskets of plant food, and 4,000 salt bricks. ”

This compensation made the sacrifice stunned.

The patriarch of the Yantu clan also sat up in shock, according to the requirements of the land period, this is to hollow them out!

"Have you really lost so much, such compensation is unacceptable to my Yantu clan."

This is not a peace negotiation at all, but a robbery while the fire is hot!

"When you followed the Will tribe against us, you should have known that there was a price to be paid for doing so."

Lu Qiqi smiled nonchalantly, "If we swap identities now, you are the victorious tribe, will you be as gentle as I am to invite you to come and talk?" ”

Of course not.

If the identities were reversed, the Nuwa tribe would have all become slaves by now.

The Salt Soil Patriarch must now recognize the situation, and if he does not agree to the request of the Land Period now, they will send troops. The ironclad warriors I saw just now will soon appear on the land of the Salt Earth Tribe.

Is this a negotiation?

They simply have no right to refuse.

The Yantu patriarch has not yet come out of the slavery system, and has begun to experience what it means to be a weak clan without diplomacy.

At this time, the priest still came forward, "We are willing to compensate, but the problem now is that you want too much." It's just the food, we can't get it. Even if we make it up, we Yantu people won't be able to survive this winter. ”

It's good to be able to talk.

Lu Qiqi was worried just now that her stage was set up, and the Yantu patriarch would not be able to sing.

He really won't.

Fortunately, his tribal sacrifice was also there.

Lu Qiqi looked at him: "How much can your tribe come up with now?" ”

Priest: "200 slaves, 100 large game, 50 baskets of plant food, and 300 salt bricks." ”

The Yantu tribe is worthy of being a fat tribe.

I've already experienced a defeat, and I can still come up with so many supplies. And this is certainly not their limit, there is still oil and water to scrape.

"The compensation we are proposing is already the lowest, but since you can't give it all at once, you can let you owe a part of it first, and pay it in installments.

For the remainder, you can repay the debt in one of the following two ways, based on the principal amount of the debt owed plus interest.

1. Return 200 slaves, 100 large game, 50 baskets of plant food, and 300 salt bricks.

Slaves to be paid off next year: 120 people,

The large game is paid off in 5 years, per year: 240 heads,

Plant foods are paid off in 5 years, per year: 120 baskets

Salt bricks are paid off in 10 years, per year: 500 salt bricks.

Among them, the interest was: 20 slaves, 300 large game, 150 baskets of plant food, and 1300 salt bricks.

2. Return 300 slaves, 200 large game, 100 baskets of plant food and 600 salt bricks.

Large game is paid off over 5 years, 180 per year;

Plant foods are paid off in 5 years, 90 baskets per year;

The salt bricks are paid off in 10 years, 440 salt bricks per year.

The interest is: 100 large game, 50 baskets of plant food, and 1,000 salt bricks. ”

Lu Qiqi smiled and gave the sacrifice two solutions, and made the price clear.

Hearing these numbers, the priest couldn't help but take a deep breath, "I may need to discuss it with the patriarch. ”

"Absolutely."

Lu Qi was very considerate and led people away, leaving only the people of the Yantu tribe in the room.

In her free time, she summoned Tsubaki, who was studying beside her just now: "What did you learn from the conversation just now?" ”

"In a strong position, it is necessary to use the advantage to earn more benefits."

Tsubaki tries to organize the language to express his opinion, "In fact, the so-called negotiation is based on strength. The strong plunder, the weak are exploited.

Am I right? ”

"Yes."

Lu Qiqi nodded, "This is the most basic principle of diplomacy, but it is not the principle of doing things for diplomats, the most basic principle of a good diplomat is to maximize interests."

When you are strong, you should leave no room to plunder more benefits;

When we are weak, we must not be humble or arrogant, and strive to reduce losses.

Since we can sit at the negotiating table and talk, there will definitely be room for pulling.

Just like us and the Salt Soil Clan, of course we are in a strong position, and of course we can destroy the Salt Soil Clan, but doing so will cause us a lot of losses, and maybe the newly evacuated Will tribe will wait for an opportunity. In order to prevent our situation from being too passive after the war, we chose to negotiate peace.

If you are sitting at the table of the Yantu tribe at this time, you should use this excuse to bargain with me, instead of falling into my rhythm, I will be whatever I say. ”

Tsubaki's mouth opened slightly after hearing this, a little incredulous.

She had never thought of such an angle, and even doubted whether she was capable of taking on such an important job, "Lord Lord, can I really do such an important job well?" ”

"Ability is practiced, although you can't do it now, but you have the potential to become a diplomat. Work hard and don't let me down. In addition, Fei is a person who has a mind that... A strategist with depth, and occasionally you can ask him for advice. ”

"You let Tsubaki learn it?"

Xiongbatian was suspicious when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that she will be badly taught?" ”

How do good old people become diplomats?

Lu Jiji didn't have time to take care of it, so he pinched the time to push the door and enter, "You should make a choice, Salt Earth Patriarch and Sacrifice." ”

The Salt Soil Patriarch glanced at the priest and replied, "Let's choose the second plan. ”

As she thought, no one wants to pay more interest.

However, the compensation of the Yantu tribe and the work that the surrounding tribes have given them for so long this year are enough for the Nuwa tribe to have a fat year.

Lu Qi looked at the materials that had burst into the warehouse, and now he needed to find a way to distribute the things to the hands of the people.

Free hair?

Of course not.

Such an approach is tantamount to cultivating the inertia of the clansmen.

Workers were recruited to build roads, schools, ditches, and city walls, and let the clansmen do these infrastructure constructions, and then pack and send out the supplies in the form of crystal coins. Two main roads were repaired within the tribe and the school was expanded by six classrooms before winter.

This winter, as long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about how to spend this winter.
