Before Du He could finish his words, he saw Wang and others opposite him standing up excitedly.
"impossible!"
"This is blackmail!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid the silver in Chang'an City is not that much even if we put it all together!"
"Besides, this thousand acres of land is simply impossible!"
The crowd was agitated and felt that Du He's conditions were too much.
Especially this ten thousand taels of silver.
In this era, silver had not yet circulated on a large scale, and only copper coins were in circulation. Silver was still a rare and precious thing.
It is simply impossible to come up with ten thousand taels of silver.
Even Hou Junji and others looked at Du He in surprise.
This guy's appetite is so big?
Is this still a fifteen-year-old boy?
terrible.
Fang Xuanling immediately secretly decided that after returning, she must educate Fang Yiai and never provoke Du He.
At this time, Du He suddenly stood up and shouted: "Shut up, young master, why don't we talk about it? If you think you don't want to talk about it, then I'll go to bed. Wow..."
With that said, Du He was about to leave.
Wang and others became anxious when they saw it.
The king hurriedly shouted: "Master Du is staying. It's not that we don't want to negotiate. It's just that the conditions are too harsh. Especially these ten thousand taels of silver, which we really can't get out. There are also thousands of acres of land. We are all members of the imperial court."
Ming Guan, there is quite a lot of land, but almost all of it is land granted by His Majesty. It cannot be bought, sold or given away casually. So... what should we do?"
Kong Yingda also said: "Master Du, can you change the conditions? It's not that we don't agree to these conditions, it's really impossible to achieve them."
Chen Shuda added: "Master Du, my ancestors of the Chen family also had a lot of land, but it is gone now. Do you think this condition can be changed?"
At this time, Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, also helped and said: "Du He, I think what everyone said makes sense."
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Daozong dissatisfiedly: "Master Li, this is at the negotiation table. Please call the representative of Party A."
Li Daozong: "..."
Li Daozong said helplessly: "Representative of Party A, I think what Party B said makes sense."
When Du He saw this, he laughed: "Look at how excited you are. Negotiation is about you coming and going. If you think it's not possible, then let's talk about it. When it comes down to it, both parties can accept it. Then this
The negotiation is done. If no one accepts it, it will naturally fail. It’s that simple..."
So, everyone sat down and continued talking.
…
East Palace.
Li Chengqian stood in the back garden.
This garden full of pink flowers and green willows actually made him not happy at all.
Changsun Chong and others stood aside, all silent and not daring to speak.
In this incident, Li Chengqian thought he could teach Du He a lesson and avenge him for being beaten at the Laiguo Palace that day, but he didn't know that things would end up like this.
His confidant Jiang Xian was thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and will be sent to Lingnan soon.
But he was banned for three months and needed to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes.
Li Chengqian roared angrily: "Why, why, I am the prince, and I am my father's biological son, but why does my father help Du He?"
A steady drizzle falls.
No one can answer Li Chengqian's question.
At this time, Prince Zhan Shi and Zhang Xuansu walked over in small steps.
He looked at the weak and helpless Li Chengqian and asked: "Your Highness, do you want to completely defeat Du He?"
Li Chengqian turned around with anger in his eyes: "Of course, I want to let Du He die now."
Zhang Xuansu said calmly: "It is impossible for a weak civet cat to defeat a lone wolf."
Li Chengqian was startled, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, please give me some advice."
Zhang Xuansu glanced at Changsun Chong and others.
Li Chengqian immediately said seriously: "Wait, go down first. My husband and I have something to discuss."
Changsun Chong and others quickly ran away.
The prince Li Chengqian had two teachers, one was the prince's right concubine Kong Yingda, and the other was the prince Zhan Shi Zhang Xuansu.
Kong Yingda is a great Confucian scholar.
But Zhang Xuansu gives people the impression that he is both good and evil, and his acting style is famous for his ruthlessness.
After all, this guy worked under Li Mi in Wagang Village.
Li Er thought that the prince's character was too weak, so he asked Zhang Xuansu to teach Li Chengqian at the same time.
After Chang Sun Chong and others left, Zhang Xuansu said slowly: "Your Highness, although you are powerful now, what you do is no different from that of a cat. And although Du He is weak, judging from his behavior, But like a lone wolf, the difference between a lone wolf and a night owl is that no one would mess with a lone wolf..."
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Sir, what do you mean..."
Zhang Xuansu said coldly: "Wait for the opportunity and hit Du He in one fell swoop! Let this lone wolf know that you are not a cat, you are a tiger..."
"Listen to Sir's teachings..."
Li Chengqian said sincerely.
…
Datang Furniture Factory.
Negotiations have come to an end.
The rain was getting heavier, but the quarrels were getting louder and louder.
"Du He, you are shameless!"
"Old man, who are you talking about!"
"Du He, you have gone too far."
"Don't talk nonsense, old bastard!"
All kinds of insults are heard all the time.
At first, Qin Qiong would knock on the table to remind Du He not to use foul language, but later she just didn't care.
Du He was alone in scolding Wang and more than 20 people throughout the whole process.
It's a pity that these twenty people all maintained their identities and couldn't scold Du He.
The negotiation lasted for three full hours before it ended.
Du He sat on the revolving wooden chair, put his feet on the table, and sneered: "I will give you one last chance to cede the land. The land is 500 acres. The 50 acres next to Baqiao must be allocated to me. The rest, the best ones, must be allocated to me." 50 acres of fertile land must be around Chang'an City, 100 acres of medium-sized land, the rest doesn't matter, even if it's mountains, forests and wasteland, I don't care."
"The compensation, 2,000 taels of silver, can be paid in two years, and sent to Datang Furniture Factory in equal portions every month. Alternatively, 1,000 taels of silver can be paid in one go. You can choose one."
Du He threw away the signature pen, stood up, and said, "If you don't agree, please give me a happy message."
After this scolding, everyone has a clearer understanding of Du He's strength.
This guy is young but has a bigger temper than Cheng Yaojin.
Wang and others looked at each other and finally nodded almost simultaneously.
King You stood up and said: "Okay, we agree to your terms, 1,000 taels of silver, paid in one lump sum."
Du He smiled slightly, turned to Zhang Du and said: "Draw up the treaty immediately and sign it. If anyone dares to cheat, I, Du He, will kill him."
Everyone was so frightened that they took a step back.
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, "I feel like this guy is more domineering than when I was young."
Du He chuckled: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years."
Everyone: "..."
In a short time, a treaty of land cession and compensation was drawn up.
