Chapter 45: You Didn't Discuss the Pit (I)
But this time, Wufeng didn't reach for the gold bar from Fernando Torres' hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fernando Torres, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed to hold five gold bars, not knowing what to do!
In fact, when Fernando Torres took out the gold bars from the wooden box, Wufeng had already seen that there were still rootless gold bars left inside, since this red-haired foreign Franc machine man wanted to ask him for help, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't take the opportunity to trap him?
Three days later, Fernando Torres came to Xiangshan County as a negotiator for the Franco, and the main content of the negotiations was about the lease of land in Xiangshan County.
Although negotiating with the Francophile is a matter for Xiangshan County, there are many witnesses. In addition to Xiangshan County's direct boss, Master Li of Guangzhou Mansion, Nangong Wu, as the highest-ranking Jinyiwei in the neighborhood, also has the right to participate.
And Wufeng, as the main contributor to the direct defeat of the Francophile this time, was also the only civilian to participate in the negotiations this time after being recommended by General Zheng Zhilong. It's just that General Zheng Zhilong had already set off for Nanyang two days ago, and of course, even Lord Li, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, had a lot of reasons to give General Zheng Zhilong some face.
During the negotiations, Fernando Torres naturally did not dare to openly take money to bribe. But before that, Wufeng received 20 gold bars privately, and later, without the knowledge of General Zheng Zhilong, Fernando Torres gave another 300 taels of silver in order to allow Wufeng to say more good things for Franco.
In fact, before the negotiation, Fernando Torres had quietly met with Lord Sun of Xiangshan County and Lord Li, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, and gave them a bribe of 500 taels of silver.
Unfortunately, Nangong Wu told Wufeng about this matter, as the first intelligence agency of the Ming Empire, there is really no news that Jinyi Weida can't hear. It's just that after Wufeng got the news, he thought in his heart: Originally, tomorrow's negotiation would just be to let these Westerners pay more rent. Although there is no wind and you can't dominate the crowd and divide another piece of land to the Francophone people on behalf of the county order of Xiangshan County without authorization, it can make Xiangshan County charge some more rent!
Although Wufeng has no concept of money, he knows the difference between 300 taels and 500 taels, and you must know that a murderer wanted in Xunzhou Mansion is only 100 taels of silver.
And there is no wind to get angry, but this Fernando Torres gave away so much money, and he didn't even have a share of Nangong Dance! Wufeng thought to himself: "Nangong Dance is also an official of all sizes! Ordinary prefects have to give some face when they see Nangong Dance, and this Westerner actually ignores Nangong Dance, which is really unreasonable!"
In fact, the West, like the Ming Empire, is a society in which men are superior to women, but Fernando Torres does not know that the situation in the Ming Empire is a little different. Jin Yiwei is not a politician, nor is he a soldier, they just belong to the emperor's eyeliner. Offending them was sometimes even more dangerous than offending the average magistrate, but Fernando Torres did not know this.
The place of negotiation was in the Xiangshan County Mansion, and when Fernando Torres saw that in addition to the officers and soldiers guarding the palace, there were more than a dozen brocade guards in gorgeous flying fish suits, and he knew at a glance that his identity was different. He asked curiously, "Lord Sun, who are those people?"
"Oh?" Xiangshan County's county magistrate Sun didn't expect that Fernando Torres didn't know about Jinyiwei, and for the sake of receiving him 500 taels of silver last night, he happily replied: "They are Jinyiwei, the most trusted people in our saints. By the way, this time we negotiated, Lord Nangong of Jinyiwei will also participate!"
After Master Sun finished speaking, he looked at Fernando Torres with disdain and thought: Look at you hillbilly, you must not have sent money to Lord Nangong! Things are messed up, don't blame us, or you will be killed!
And Fernando Torres's heart was also a little flustered, he really didn't understand Jinyiwei at all, but after he heard that Jinyiwei was the most trusted person of the Ming Emperor, his mood was a little upset.
Fernando Torres wants to get a good piece of land and wants to loan it at a very low price.
In Xiangshan County, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture was already waiting in the inner hall, because he came here yesterday and stayed directly in the mansion of Xiangshan County for one night.
It's just that Wufeng and Nangong Wu were accompanying Ling Er to have breakfast in the teahouse, and when they saw that the hour was about to be around, Ling Er asked with some curiosity: "Aren't you two going to negotiate with those Westerners about renting land?
Because Ling Er was not qualified to participate in the negotiations, she was bored alone. But Wufeng said that he wanted to accompany her to the teahouse for breakfast, of course he was very happy! To be honest, Xiangshan County rented land to Westerners or something, and there was nothing to do with her. In the final analysis, Ling Er is just a folk woman who doesn't care about political affairs, and the place where Westerners rent land is not Xunzhou Capital, it is impossible to have the heart to pay attention.
"Indeed, this is detrimental to the image of our Ming Dynasty!" Nangong Wu also said with some reluctance, if these Westerners underestimated the Ming Empire because of their lateness this time, then Nangong Wu would really feel very ashamed in his heart.
"What are you afraid of? Now they have something to ask us for!" Wufeng thought to himself: Who let that Westerner be so unkind? What if he just let him wait a while?
However, Nangong Wu thought about it, and also felt that what Wufeng said was true, they were the dignified Ming Empire, and they would not rent land to Westerners if it was a big deal. Although a few days ago, their compensation was very refreshing, but after all, it was they who ignored the national prestige of the Ming Empire first, so let them continue to wait!
"Why hasn't Lord Nangong arrived yet?" Lord Li, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, was also a little impatient to wait, after all, the three of them had been working in the inner hall of the mansion for almost two hours, and it was almost noon.
Xiangshan County Ling Sun was afraid that his boss would have an opinion about him, so he hurriedly asked people to ask what was going on.
Although Wufeng is still just an insignificant figure for the time being, whether he comes or not will not affect this negotiation. But Nangong Wu, who has the identity of Jinyiwei, is different, without Nangong Dance in this negotiation, no one dares to negotiate without permission. Otherwise, as soon as she turned around, Nangong Wu would go to the emperor and say a few unpleasant words, and the end of the two of them would be miserable.
But they didn't know that the Jinyi Wei Baihu Nangong Dance they were concerned about was with the insignificant Wufeng in their minds at this time, and everything was intentional by Wufeng.
Fernando Torres also saw that Wufeng did not appear at this time, and thought that Wufeng had taken his money and would not do anything for him. If he knew that Wufeng had taken his money and was ready to continue to trick him, I wonder what Fernando Torres would think?
"Report to the two adults, Lord Nangong has arrived!" When the officers and soldiers who had just gone out to inquire had just walked to the door, they saw Nangong Wu and Wufeng coming in together.
