Chapter 564: Set up camp and wait for the silver and goods to arrive
Kitano Hiromei didn't think about it, and he wanted to honor what he said later.
He didn't say no, he just delayed it for a few years.
Who would have thought that Chu Wenjin would really disregard the overall situation for the sake of a little profit.
Just one step away, these grains are from their northern barbarian country. As long as he enters his Northern Barbarian Country, it is he who has the final say.
Kitano Hiromei pretended to be angry and wanted to capture him:
"Hmph, this hall looks at the Yunxiao Country, and it is not sincere to borrow grain to plant in my Northern Barbarian Country. Although we Beiban are short of food, we will not grovel to anyone.
If you Yunxiao Kingdom didn't really help, you might as well transport those grains back to the capital. ”
He didn't believe it, Chu Wenjin was so far away, and he had worked so hard to transport it, and he would transport it back the same way.
What's more, Jun Lingyun is worried about their Northern Barbarian's war horses and livestock, if he can't bring them back, look at how he Chu Wenjin will explain to them Emperor Yunxiao.
The later ones were not within the scope agreed between him and Jun Lingyun.
Chu Wenjin not only didn't panic, but instead took it into his chest and said with a smile:
"Prince Kitano, even if you go back on your word and don't want to borrow it, that's okay.
Our emperor has taken precautions and knows that your Northern Barbarian Kingdom has always had a bad reputation. No, before the next trip, our emperor had an explanation.
The emperor said: If the grain is planted in the north, but the prince of Beiye does not want it, then these grains will be transported to the military camp in the north and used as military food. ”
Kitano Hiromei's chest rises and falls, the Northern Barbarian Country has always had a bad reputation? Can this be said to his face?
I don't even take him, the prince of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, in my eyes!
Grain sent to the barracks? In this way, aren't the defenders of the Yunxiao Kingdom the spirit of dragon horses?
On the other hand, the army of their northern barbarian country was seriously short of food, and the soldiers were scattered to farm and hunt.
If not, why would they take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Clouds and Heavens?
Under the advantages of one another, what benefits can the Northern Barbarian Kingdom occupy!
But this is not over yet, Chu Wenjin still has the second half of the words waiting for him:
"Prince Kitano may be a noble man who forgets things, and among the materials you promised, there are only twenty war horses, which are used to borrow grain.
The other 3,000 livestock are the compensation made by Prince Kitano for trespassing into the harem of the royal family of our Yunxiao Kingdom and killing Concubine Rong who gave birth in the pen. If this compensation is reversed, the two countries may not be able to do good.
There were also twenty other war horses, and 200,000 taels of silver, which were the life money of Prince Kitano. ”
Chu Wenjin made a long speech and counted the debts owed by Kitano Hongming, which was clear and reasonable.
Kitano Hongming followed his train of thought and reasoned out, but found that whether he borrowed grain or not, it was a loss.
Chu Wenjin finally came to a conclusion:
"Since the prince of Kitano does not borrow grain to plant, then he only needs to give us three thousand head of livestock, twenty war horses, and two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Now that the messenger has prepared his cattle and his horses, he might as well come first. The 200,000 taels of silver, how many days can you grace? ”
Kitano Hiromei turned his back so that he would not be angry to death.
What else could he do? Even if Chu Wenjin didn't say the latter words, he couldn't do anything just to transport these grains to the army in the north of the Yunxiao Kingdom!
But where should I go to get horses and silver?
For this batch of grain, he has been delayed for too long. Is it possible to send people back to the capital again to bring back war horses and silver? I don't know how many days I'll have to wait.
Now, I can only borrow one from a nearby tribe and pay it back later.
Kitano Hiromei's face was so gloomy that he could wring out the water, and he ordered the Northern Barbarian Envoy:
"Go to a nearby tribe and borrow twenty war horses and two hundred thousand taels of silver."
The Northern Barbarian envoy had already widened his eyes when he listened to Chu Wenjin settle the score.
The number of war horses has directly doubled, and another 200,000 taels of silver will be added?
Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that now is the year of famine?
All the tribes are looking forward to supplies and looking forward to it. Now that the materials have not arrived, they have to pluck their hair first, who would want to?
"Don't go yet!"
"Yes, yes."
Kitano roared, and the Northern Barbarian Envoy was gone, and took most of the dart master with him, so that he could bring back the war horse and silver with him.
The messenger thought that he would try his luck with the nearby tribe that fostered livestock, after all, that tribe was closest to the border.
Chu Wenjin was calm, he was not in a hurry.
My sister has not yet given birth to a child safely, and the emperor is now lacking in skills and cannot deal with the Northern Barbarian Kingdom wholeheartedly, so naturally the longer it is delayed, the better.
"Set up camp and rest in place."
Chu Wenjin gave an order, and the dart masters obeyed the order. It was at the junction of these two countries that a tent was erected.
Fortunately, Kitano Hongming also has a tent here, so he won't fall into the wind again, and wait outside with a cool breeze.
He took care of himself and entered the tent, the two countries were already on the tip of the needle, and there was no need to pretend to be friendly.
Chu Wenjin watched Kitano Hongming's back disappear, and greeted the leading dart master on the opposite side silently.
He lowered his head and smiled, no wonder Si Ruo and Si Shui did not accompany the transport of grain and grass, it turned out that they were here to answer.
In this way, the two sides took the stone tablet as the boundary and waited for the return of the Northern Barbarian envoy in their respective territories.
The Northern Barbarian envoy lived up to Chu Wenjin's expectations, and did not come back until it was dark.
Naturally, everyone else is not in a hurry, only Kitano Hiromei is in a hurry.
He even thought that if he hadn't been lazy and went in person, he might have borrowed the war horse and the silver and returned. You will be able to spend a few days less with those people in the Sky Country.
Chu Wenjin had already started a fire, added some seasoned jerky, and cooked a pot of fragrant rice. Kitano Hongming glared at him with a look, what they are eating now is to give the grain to the Northern Barbarian Country.
Let them eat more, and there will be less grain. What a loss!
Chu Wenjin even beckoned the dart master on his side to go over and have dinner together.
"Prince Kitano, you're welcome. Although this grain is not from your Northern Barbarian Kingdom at the moment, it will be soon. It's cold, come on, eat a bowl of hot rice, warm up. ”
He is so enthusiastic, it seems that the confrontation with Kitano Hiromei during the day is already yesterday.
It's just that it's okay if Chu Wenjin doesn't say this, maybe Kitano Hongming will really be cheeky and go over to have a meal.
But as soon as he said this, Kitano Hiromei's self-esteem as a prince could not be crossed no matter what.
He was even more angry when he saw that the people around him who were in the good dart bureau really crossed the border stele with a smile.
"Since Chu Shangshu knows, these grains will soon be from our Northern Barbarian Country, why don't you save some food? Isn't there dry food? ”
Chu Wenjin smiled.
"Prince Kitano, please have a meal of white rice for your life-saving benefactor, you are distressed, if this word spreads, it will have a bad reputation with Prince Kitano.
Besides, this meal has been cooked, and it can't be wasted. Everyone should cherish the food, but there can't be left, which makes Prince Kitano feel distressed. ”
"Okay!"
Chu Wenjin greeted him, and the dart masters responded loudly, all with a smile on their faces, this is their young master's brother, his own person!
