It is of course a good thing to have money.

This is not 50,000 jin, but 5 million jin.

Five million guan is comparable to one-fifth of the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty.

In Xichuan, it will be taxed for twenty or thirty years.

Just so happened that Li Chongyuan didn't have much money at this time. If he had compensation of more than five million stale coins, then this would be very timely for Li Chongyuan.

recent.

Xu Jing passed by a message and said that the various materials in the workshop had been used almost all the time and needed to start purchasing various materials.

But there is not much money in the workshop.

So, it is.

At that time, Li Yan asked someone to come to the border between the Southern and Tang Dynasties to do business. Although he made a lot of money, he only had 800,000 jin of money. He had to send military news, maintain the operation of the workshop, and even gave pensions to the fallen soldiers. This little money was not enough for him, Li Yanhua.

now.

If you have these five million chunks, Li Yan will not be short of money for at least three years.

Although the workshop has been making money, the output of soap has been decreasing and has been tightening the gunpowder, so Li Yan is short of money.

At this time, Li Yan was even short of money.

Tens of thousands of people need to be resettled, and all of them have to be spent.

Although Li Yan had already passed the message, the people who returned to the local area were handled by the two levels and two yamen in each prefecture and county to be responsible. But Li Yan knew that as long as it was related to money, the officials of each prefecture and county would write a letter to him, Li Yan, and ask for money.

so.

Li Yan also has to spend money to deal with these tens of thousands of people.

As for how much money each person takes then, Li Yan has not counted it yet. He needs to wait until Zuo Yan has resettled these people and study it carefully to see how much resettlement fee each person gives.

but.

According to Li Yan's estimate, the resettlement cost for each person will not be too high, at least at present, the prices are not very high.

The specific number is about five to ten cents of coins.

Just counting ten guan coins, more than 30,000 people would have to spend more than 300,000 guan.

But Li Yan had to spend this money. Even if Li Yan didn’t have the five million, he had to spend it. Even if each person only had two stale money for resettlement expenses, Li Yan had to spend it.

After getting Li Yan's words, the personal guard ran out and headed towards the Lu River.

More than half an hour later, Shi Kuan received Li Yan's instructions and his heart was moved.

‘It seems that Your Highness has a big appetite. However, if you don’t take five million guan, you will feel a little sorry for Xichuan.’

Shi Kuan, who was moved in his heart, met Feng Qing, the envoy of Nanzhao again, picked up his chin and said, "My highness said that today I will only talk about compensation, and not talk about the others. After the compensation is finished, let's talk about other things. If you are willing to talk, then talk. If you don't, go back to Nanzhao."

"Yes, yes. Shi's guard said that we would discuss compensation first, so we would discuss compensation first." Feng Qing was afraid of Shi Kuan and even more afraid of Li Yan.

Li Yan said, and he, the Nanzhao envoy, suddenly felt a lighter.

The burden pressed on him felt that after Shi Kuan spoke, it seemed to be much lighter.

In his heart, he believed that as long as Li Yan was willing to talk, there was no need to worry that Li Yan would lead his troops to continue attacking Nanzhao.

Even if he was not well-informed in the current situation in Nanzhao, he knew that the situation was not optimistic.

Li Yan's nodding, in his opinion, means that Li Yan has let go.

negotiation.

This is a strength that is not a time-wide one.

But even if the negotiation is not Shi Kuan's strength, he would not dare to resist as a strong man, but Nanzhao envoy Feng Qing dared not resist at all.

Although there were constant opposition, Fengqing's voice became weaker and weaker.

It was not until half an hour later that after slamming the table heavily, Feng Qing was so scared that he fell to the ground and nodded repeatedly, "Guard Shi, just do whatever you say. The money is yours. The agreement will be signed again and again."

OK.

Shi Kuan pressed Feng Qing with his domineering aura, and had to agree with Shi Kuan's words, give Shi Kuan the money first, and sign the agreement after the money is in place.

After the two sides reached the conclusion, the soldiers of the Tiger Army began to run here.

Not long after, the warships that were still floating on the Lushui River arrived on the shore. The soldiers of the Tiger Army started boxes and baskets of money were sent to the shore.

From afternoon and until the next evening, the five million coins were finally moved from the boat to the shore.

At that time, Kuan looked at the five million coins in front of him and felt very satisfied.

Five million guan, so much money was piled up together, like a mountain.

Among the five million guan, there are gold and silver. Of course, copper coins are the most common, which accounts for more than 80% of the five million guan.

Fortunately, Nanzhao's copper coins were made of Tang's copper coins. Otherwise, if Nanzhao had its own coins, Li Yan would not have accepted them.

Nanzhao does not have the technology to make copper coins, and even if there is one, it cannot be cast in large quantities.

In addition, Nanzhao was originally a vassal state of Tang. After each monarch took office, the Emperor of Tang would grant the new Nanzhao a title of king.

Even though Nanzhao always invaded Nanzhao from time to time, the Tang court has always believed that Nanzhao belonged to a border country and a wilderness, and was not enough to be afraid.

Therefore, even if Nanzhao invaded Tang State, Tang State seemed to have been indifferent and scolded at most. Then Nanzhao sent envoys to Chang'an, Tang State to make a statement, and this matter was considered over.

But it won't be like this when it's placed here in Li Yan.

If Li Yan wants to permanently resolve the war between Nanzhao and Tang, he will have a great unification and a one-time solution.

After all the money was moved ashore, Fengqing asked for peace again.

Shi Kuan smiled and nodded to a guard.

Not long after, Fengqing was brought over. As soon as he saw Shi Kuan, he said impatiently: "Guard Shi, you see that the money has been sent to you. Can we sign an agreement?"

"The money was sent to us, but this five million alone is probably not enough to care for the pain of Xichuan. Moreover, the wealth plundered by Nanzhao attacking me Xichuan is far more than this. Furthermore, according to what my noble once said, one person in Xichuan died, and one person was injured, and one person was compensated for 300 people. You should know how many people in Xichuan died and how many people in Xichuan were injured. You only have five million people, what agreement do you want me to sign? Nanzhao is quite good at sending another twenty million people. I can sign this agreement on my noble family." When Shi Kuan saw Fengqing saying he wanted to sign the agreement, he looked at Fengqing coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

When Feng Qing heard Shi Kuan's words, he suddenly felt regretful.

He regretted what he said to Shi Kuan at the beginning, saying that he would send the money ashore before signing the agreement.

But now the money has been sent ashore, but the agreement is now gone, and he even put down his bold words and said that he would have to compensate Xichuan for another 20 million yuan.

I regret it.

My intestines are regretful.

When Feng Qing thought of them sending the people of Xichuan back to Li Yan, Li Yan turned his face and didn't even sign a letter of peace.

In the end, Zheng You was arrested by Meng Sheng and sent to prison.

But today, Fengqing once again felt the difficulty of Xichuan, and he regretted it and was even more worried.

He was afraid that once he returned to Nanzhao, he would be arrested and sent to prison like Zheng You.

When Feng Qing thought of the prison, his whole body trembled.

He knew the consequences of not signing the agreement.

He even knew what the prison looked like, and it was dirty and messy that could no longer describe the situation of the prison. As long as he entered the prison, even if he could come out, he would be useless.

Therefore, Feng Qing was afraid. He was afraid of him and all his hopes were on Shi Kuan. "We agreed before that as long as the money was sent ashore, this agreement could be signed. Shi Wei, please, you should sign this agreement. In this way, I can also go back to submit the service. Just think of it as a pity."

"Hehe. I pity you? Who will pity the people of Xichuan? Are you? Are you worthy!" Telling pity to Shi Kuan is equivalent to playing the piano to a cow.

After following Li Yan for a long time, he was instilled by Li Yan's thoughts. Until now, his thoughts have become increasingly pity for the people.

The people are in Li Yan's heart.

The sky in Xichuan was half collapsed by Nanzhao, and the sky was almost destroyed by Nanzhao. How could Shi Kuan feel pitiful to a Nanzhao person?

Now, Feng Qing said that Shi Kuan would pity him, that wasn't it just playing the piano to the cow.

When Fengqing heard Shi Kuan's words, his face immediately cried and continued to beg: "Guard Shi, we have agreed, you can't regret it. We can talk about the money again. However, if Shi Guard Shi asks me to send me 20 million yuan back in Nanzhao, this is not a small matter. In a short time, we can't make up the 20 million yuan. Guard Shi, please, once you sign the agreement, you can also pay the assignment, and we all have nothing to do."

When Shi Kuan heard Fengqing's words, his face immediately changed, "Hmph!!! For you, this is an errand. For me, this is a matter for the people. Your Highness said 20 million, that is 20 million. If you don't compensate 20 million more for Nanzhao, don't say that Your Highness will not agree to this agreement, even the people of Xichuan will not agree to it. Get out, if you don't get out, my Xichuan army will be going to use force."

Shi Kuan doesn't want to talk anymore.

The same is true for another conversation, why bother with a villain?

As soon as Shi Kuan said something, several personal guards standing beside Shi Kuan immediately waved to the generals of the Tiger Army not far away.

moment.

The general of the Tiger Army, who received the instructions, immediately blew the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest.

Within ten breaths, hundreds of Tiger Army soldiers in the distance rushed over immediately after hearing the bamboo whistle.

Fengqing and others saw the Xichuan army running over so quickly after hearing the bamboo whistle, and the knife in their hands had already been sheathed, which made them pale when they saw it.

Retreat.

If you don't retreat, you will die here.

Li Yan had already done the envoys to kill Nanzhao envoys once.
