Chapter 639: Negotiation (2)
Now Xiao Ruxue was doing nothing, and her big eyes were focused on Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo, guarding every little move he made.
Without the intervention of the upright and straightforward Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo, the negotiation has become much more peaceful.
But the deputy envoy's attitude is understandable. Zhou Huang left the task of peace talks to the Yang family. Every time the two backbones of the Yang family stay outside for an extra day, Zhou Huang's suppression of the Yang family will go smoothly. one day.
This straight man is not as good-tempered as Yang Mingzhi, and he gets angry every day worrying about the affairs of the Yang family, but there is still someone on the negotiating table who doesn't talk about martial arts...
This is enough to embarrass him.
The deputy envoy was restrained, so only the envoy came on stage to speak: "Anyway, I have never seen captives sold according to their individuality. You have captured so many soldiers in my Zhou Kingdom, and the money must be a huge amount. My Zhou Guo Guo came here with sincerity, have you considered my Zhou Guo's feelings?"
Xu Qing said: "Then when your Zhou country declared war, didn't you also consider my Chu country's feelings?"
The envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can't ask for so much twenty taels of silver for one prisoner! And you still don't accept bargaining."
Xu Qing said: "Wait, who said we don't accept bargaining."
Seeing Xu Qing loosening his mouth, Yang Mingzhi quickly asked, "Then can you make it cheaper?"
Xu Qing said: "It's not cheap, let's put it on hold for now. I heard Yang Zhengshi mean that the lives of soldiers who fought bloody battles for your country of Zhou are not worth twenty taels?"
"This..." Yang Mingzhi couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this: "Naturally, all the soldiers of my state of Zhou are priceless treasures. How can they be so easily measured by silver?!"
Xu Qing nodded sincerely and said: "Just to make what your lord said is reasonable, Xue'er, please help convert it into gold, so as not to let Zhou Guo suffer."
"Oh." Xiao Ruxue agreed, took out the small abacus she carried with her, and when she was about to start the calculation, she still didn't forget to give Deputy Envoy Zhou a look.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Remember to add more points when you calculate, so as not to let Zhou Guo envoys think that we have sold Zhou Guo soldiers cheaply."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Wait, wait!" Yang Mingzhi looked at this scene and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "You...how can you do this? You...you are extorting blackmail!"
Xu Qing's face became more and more vicious: "In the last negotiation we wanted to be harmonious, you said we were not sincere, but this time we sincerely asked you for money and you said we blackmailed blackmail, I Xu Qing I have never seen a defeated country that you are so difficult to serve in my life!"
Yang Mingzhi clenched his fists and said, "These are two different things, you...you are changing concepts secretly!"
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi and said sincerely: "Then what should we do? Why don't you report to the officials."
Yang Mingzhi: "..."
Zhou Guo Mission: "..."
Why on earth did Chu State send such a number one person to negotiate with them!
What do you call an officer?
Which yamen can handle important matters concerning the two countries?
Who the hell let this guy out?
Yang Mingzhi finally gritted his teeth and said, "This envoy will definitely protest to the emperor of your country!"
Xu Qing said: "Can we sign the treaty before protesting? You make us very passive."
Yang Mingzhi: "..."
Why do you call him passive?
The initiative is in his hands from the very beginning, okay?
He is still passive?
Xu Qing: "At worst, when we sell the city, we will give you some discounts, and the generals will also sell it at a 20% discount. The boss is not young, and he will go to sue... Eh - childish..."
Zhou Guo Mission: "..."
What should I do if I really want to beat this person?
Why does every sentence or even every word that comes out of his mouth become particularly unbearable?
I can't stand it at all!
Seeing their unmoved looks, Xu Qing sincerely said, "Give me a face, sign it."
Vice-envoy Zhou Guo gritted his teeth and said, "You are selling more expensive than just now, wishful thinking!"
"Huh?!" Just as Xiao Ruxue put down the abacus in her hand, she cast her eyes away.
Deputy envoy Zhou Guo, who was about to explode, immediately calmed down again.
Xu Qing said: "The money belongs to the country, and the life belongs to its own. Why bother?"
Yang Mingzhi said in a deep voice: "The money is the anointing of the people of our country of Zhou. As the envoy of this peace talk, I am naturally responsible to the people of our country."
Xu Qing said with a very displeased face: "Forget it, if you really want to be so responsible, don't drag the people into the military disaster at the beginning, and now you start to take responsibility after the war is over? Why did you go so early..."
Yang Mingzhi: "..."
Xu Qing: "Sign it, sign it, you have to sign it sooner or later, aren't you still in a hurry to go back, it's too early to sign, you will be regular customers when you sign this time and the next time you sell the city, according to the business field According to the above rules, we will give certain discounts."
Yang Mingzhi thought: Why does the more he talks, the more I want to beat him up?
When Yang Mingzhi came to the peace talks this time, he had imagined a lot of scenarios, not to mention the quarrel, he had already thought about the scene of a big fight, but now it is a coincidence that the owner of Yongle County is sitting opposite him, and he can beat nine of them...
Let's negotiate peacefully, and there is Xu Qing sitting across from him, so if he doesn't move at all, why don't you report to the officials?
It was so easy for him to protest to the Emperor of Chu, but this guy answered immediately, complaining at a young age, childish...
Seeing that Yang Mingzhi didn't speak, Xu Qing continued to persuade him, "Really, go and find out, where in the world are the captives sold cheaper than us?"
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "In the middle of winter, is there any other place to sell captives besides your Chu State? Besides, why should my Zhou State go to other places to buy captives?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "That's right. You see, we are all in a seller's market. Isn't it impolite for you to delay buying?"
Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath. In order to deal with Xu Qing, he couldn't help but bring himself into the identity of the old man who bought vegetables, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Then our country of Zhou can buy a lot this time. Naturally, some discounts should be given, right?"
Xu Qing said with a smile; "Master Yang is indeed a businessman, Xue'er will give you a discount."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said: "After the discount, the price has been reduced, twenty taels of silver per prisoner."
Yang Mingzhi; "..."
Although they lowered the price, and even though they felt that they had taken advantage, this price seemed to be the price at the beginning of the negotiation, right?
What have they been doing for half an hour?
...
Seeing the contract that was finally signed, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this negotiation could completely involve the Emperor Chu in person.
Using the eloquence of Chu Huang's math teacher and Tang Seng's patience, he directly hypnotized the opponent and made them sign the contract unconsciously.
For this single business, he threw all his face away.
Wait, something seems wrong...
Where did you get your face from?
That's all right...
