And now that the national treasury has bottomed out, these huge compensation payments can only come from the people.

At that time, all kinds of complicated and harsh taxes will surely appear one after another, and the people will not be able to make a living, and Dafeng will enter a vicious cycle of continuous decline in national power. In the end, Dafeng will no longer be Daning's opponent...

No one doesn’t understand this truth.

Whether it is Min Zhongguang or Li Wutong, they all know the consequences of shouldering such a huge "debt".

But what can you do if you don’t agree?

Therefore, when there was no conflict between the bottom lines of both parties, the issue of "reparations" was also discussed quickly.

Sima Cong still relaxed symbolically and reduced the compensation by 10,000 taels.

After Min Zhongguang tried repeatedly to no avail, he finally had to accept this amount.

The compensation is 40,000 taels, which must be paid within three years, and the other conditions remain unchanged...

So far, two of the five conditions have been agreed upon.

It can be said that these two items are both within Dafeng's expectations and within their acceptable range.

Not even Li Qi, Ning Yongnian, and Li Wutong said a single word during this process.

The former means pretending to be stupid and unable to speak.

The latter two both knew that it was not yet time for them to speak...

There was still heavy snow outside, and the voice of the etiquette officer sounded in Huailing City again.
