Two days later, Zhu Xiaotian came.

After receiving the news, Li Yunxiang asked Eunuch Wei to send a message to Li Yunyi, and then went to greet him. Li Yunyi soon sent the news and asked Li Yunxiang to chat with him first, ask him to ask him clearly, and don’t rush to agree to anything.

After the state banquet, Zhu Xiaotian and Li Yunxiang sat together and chatted and talked nonsense. Zhu Xiaotian tactfully expressed that he hoped to be a peacemaker, let Jingguo Caiguo quit the army, and sign a non-aggression agreement.

Li Yunxiang was perfunctory and then said that he needed to hold a court meeting, let the ministers discuss, and let Zhu Xiaotian wait for a day or two. After Zhu Xiaotian left, he passed the news to Li Yunyi.

"It turns out that I am here to do peace. Cai Lu is too timid and can't stand the scare."

Li Yunyi said with a smile, and then sent a message to Li Yunxiang to negotiate on behalf of Jingguo, asking for the price to die, and how much can he get.

This time, Li Yunyi didn't want to fight at all. He simply made some noise, so that the major forces in Southern Chu would gather at Jingguo again, and let Zhu Gui and Sima Yue play the role of the mouse and be afraid of it.

A pig came to him to slaughter him, so he was naturally not polite. Jingguo is also poor now and can get some silver, so why not do it?

Li Yunxiang was happy after receiving the news. Cai State is an enemy to the entire people of Jing State. He fought with Cai State for many years. Now he has the opportunity to personally kill Cai State, and he is very excited.

At the second day of the dynasty meeting, he raised the issue and said that there was a big man in Nanchu who wanted to do things and work, hoping to resolve the dispute with Cai through negotiations and not talk about war easily. Some conservative officials in the court were overjoyed when they heard this, but before they could speak, Cao Li was the first to speak and determined to fight.

Then the two dukes also came out and resolutely wanted to fight on the surface. The military generals also expressed their opinions that they would destroy Cai this time.

What surprised the conservative officials was that Zhang Muzhi, the right prime minister and the four ministers all expressed their opinions that they would fight to the death.

This sentence made the officials stunned. It is easy to understand why Zhang Muzhi and others wanted to fight. This is a bit difficult to understand. Of course, these officials have such an opportunity, so they naturally have to seize it. They all spoke out and expressed their desire to be harmonious.

After a quarrel, Li Yunxiang did not express his opinion. After the court dispersed, Li Yunxiang saw Zhu Xiaotian and told him about the situation in the court, and vaguely stated that he actually wanted to fight.

Mainly, Li Hongtu died in battle. As a son, how could he not avenge his father?

Zhu Xiaotian hurriedly advised him, and Li Yunxiang finally said reluctantly: "If Cai State is willing to cede the land of three counties and compensate us for the loss of 100 million taels of gold, it is not impossible to reconcile."

"Three counties? One hundred million taels of gold?"

Three invisible black lines appeared on Zhu Xiaotian's forehead, and he couldn't help but say, "Regent, your condition is equivalent to not mentioning it. How could Cai State agree?"

The territory of Cai State is similar to that of Jing State, and it has six counties. What is the difference between the three counties cede and the destroyed state? One hundred million taels of gold, that is ten billion taels of silver. Even if the ancestral tomb of Cai State is digging out, it will not be enough to make up this number.

"Then there is no need to talk about it."

Li Yunxiang suddenly stood up and said, "When Xiaotian is walking slowly, I will not send you there. If Cai Lu refuses to cede the land, then we will take it personally. Destroy the Cai Kingdom and dig up their ancestral tombs. I believe the billions of taels of gold can be collected."

Li Yunxiang left directly, Zhu Xiaotian was so angry that he was trembling all over. He did not leave. When he returned to his residence, he sent a message to Zhu Gui.

After receiving the accusation, Zhu Gui summoned Cai Lu and handed him the content of the accusation. Cai Lu was so angry that she trembled all over when she saw it. He tore the letter directly and said coldly: "Li Yunxiang is too bullying people, what else can I talk about?"

"Brother Cai calm down!"

Zhu Gui waved his hand and said, "He is asking for a price all over the place, you can pay it back. Since he has offered the price, there is a basis for peace talks. You can offer your price code and negotiate step by step."

"The earth cannot be cut!"

Cai Lu said with certainty: "Not to mention three counties, a town cannot be cut. There is too much silver. At most, you will pay 50 million taels of silver and 100 million taels of gold? Why didn't Li Yunxiang rob it?"

"This is how it goes!"

Zhu Gui took a sip of tea and said, "You can contact Zhu Xiaotian directly and let him be your negotiator. Or... you can send someone to yourself. Anyway, let's talk first and see what the final result can be concluded? I have a lot of things, so I won't participate in this matter."

"All right!"

Cai Lu stood up and nodded and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Zhu for your help. I will contact Xiaotianhou on your own for this matter. There is no need to send someone. I believe Xiaotianhou's character."

Cai Lu left and took away the IVFF that was in contact with Zhu Xiaotian. He sent Zhu Xiaotian and gave him his bottom line. Zhu Xiaotian went to find Li Yunxiang overnight and informed Cai Lu of the conditions. Li Yunxiang directly said that he would not talk about it and would fight first.

Zhu Xiaotian knew that Li Yunxiang was acting, but he had to persuade him with great sincerity. After an hour, he said he was dry and Li Yunxiang finally gave up.

The three counties were cut into one county, and 100 million taels of gold became 50 million taels of gold. He also said that this was for Zhu Gui's sake, otherwise he would definitely not talk about it.

The news came to Cai Lu the next day. Cai Lu thought about it all night last night, and he knew in his heart that he would definitely have a heavy bleeding this time. Li Yunxiang was so straightforward that he would definitely not give in easily. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the letter sent by Zhu Xiaotian.

Li Yunxiang only has one county, which means that if you continue to talk about land, there may be no need to cut it. As long as you do not cut the land, he will not sell his ancestors and will not leave too much stain in history. If the land is cut, he will be destined to be infamous for thousands of years. Historical books will record a lot.

He thought for an hour and sent a message to Zhu Xiaotian, asking him to submit the price code - the land cannot be cut, and the compensation can be turned into 300 million taels of silver.

Li Yunxiang went to the morning court, and Zhu Xiaotian waited until noon to meet Li Yunxiang and sold the price. Li Yunxiang refused to do it. Zhu Xiaotian tried his best to persuade him for more than an hour. In the end, Li Yunxiang gave in. The land could not be cut, and the silver could not be lost.

Zhu Xiaotian could only send another message. Cai Lu felt relieved when he heard that he didn't have to cede the land. The compensation could be carried out in secret. Anyway, he borrowed money from the Purple Dragon Palace, and this matter would not be rumored. If Cai suppressed it, the history books would not be too ugly. Instead, he could write about his rebellion and the army of Jing State retreated. This was a glorious deed.

He raised the price again, and 300 million became one billion. This money is not a small amount, it is almost the tax revenue of Cai State for a year. Cai State seems to be a country, and its income is similar to that of the top wealthy families in Nanchu. Moreover, Cai State also supports so many troops and officials, which all require expenses.

Zhu Xiaotian took the latest price to find Li Yunxiang. This time Li Yunxiang didn't give him any face and left directly, leaving no longer talking. He also gave a deadline and did not agree to this condition within half a month. The army here will attack Cai State.

Cai Lu became anxious after receiving the news. Cai State had no preparations for war. The border army had been owed for several months and was almost a mutiny. How could the army here rely on to fight? Although Wang Tai was in Yuncheng, Wang Tai could only stop it? Jing State only killed four grand masters not long ago.

Cai Lu could only continue to increase the price, one billion became one billion and one billion became two billion. However, the news reached Zhu Xiaotian, and Zhu Xiaotian went over to ask for Li Yunxiang, and the latter asked Eunuch Wei to come out and say that if it was not the original conditions, he would not have to see him.

Li Yunxiang will not talk about it directly!

In the next few days, Zhu Xiaotian cursed every day, and was almost so angry that he rode the flying beast back to Nanchu.

Originally, he thought this time was a good job, and being a middleman could get some benefits, but he didn't expect to be so angry. After asking for a few times, even Eunuch Wei didn't give him a good look...

Seven or eight days passed quickly, and Cai Lu received the news that the Jing Kingdom army on the other side of the border was already in the forefront and seemed to be ready to attack at any time. However, Cai Kingdom had not made any preparations for war, and the court was in a big quarrel.

Cai Lu continued to make concessions, and the price was raised to 3 billion. Unfortunately, Li Yunxiang refused to give in and couldn't see Zhu Xiaotian anymore, which made Zhu Xiaotian so angry that he was so angry that he cursed.

Three days later, Li Yunxiang still refused to give in. In the end, Cai Lu compromised and agreed to Li Yunxiang's request. Li Yunxiang met Zhu Xiaotian and asked him that Cai Lu had to send the silver notes within a month, otherwise it would still be considered a breach of contract. He not only wanted to announce the matter, but also continued to send troops to attack Cai State.

Cai Lu went to the branch of Zilong Palace in Chujing the next day and went to discuss the matter personally. Zilong Palace gave a reply that the money could be borrowed, but the specific terms required their elders to come and discuss them personally. After all, Cai Lu wanted to borrow not a small amount, but tens of billions of taels of silver.

Three days later, the elder of the Zilong Palace came. Cai Lu brought a minister from the Ministry of Revenue to chat for a whole morning, and the main conditions were settled.

Zilong Palace borrowed 30 billion silver dollars to Cai State. Cai State used national taxes as collateral. After the reconstruction of Silk City, all taxes were collected on behalf of Zilong Palace. Half of Cai State's annual taxes were used to repay the loan.

The specific clauses followed were discussed by the Minister of Revenue and relevant personnel of the Zilong Palace. Two days later, the two parties signed an agreement. Cai Lu personally signed it and also stamped it with a golden seal.

The moment the golden seal was stamped, Cai Lu felt exhausted.

He knew very well that once this agreement was signed, the Purple Dragon Palace would become a vampire attached to Cai State. Cai State would have to live a hard life in the next ten years. It would take at least twenty years to completely recover its vitality, and no major events would happen in these twenty years...
