Lu Xiaoyue's words were so direct that even Li Shenghui couldn't stand it...
What he couldn't bear the most was that Lu Xiaoyue said that Hanling Kingdom did not need an emperor!
As for what happened next, although he couldn't accept it, it was nothing compared to this.
"You don't need an emperor? What do you, the Hanling Kingdom, want to do? Do you want to rebel?" Li Shenghui asked in a murmur.
There was no need for such a slogan as the emperor. He had only heard of it during the peasant uprising in the Western Shang Kingdom. He immediately thought of it and asked subconsciously.
However, he regretted it as soon as he said it.
They are from Hanling Kingdom, so even if they rebel, it is Hanling Kingdom’s own business!
What's more, he should be eager for the Hanling Kingdom to be in chaos. If Lu Xiaoyue really wants to rebel, the entire Xishang Kingdom will probably raise their hands and cheer.
Maybe the monarch would really agree to compensate once he was happy.
"What kind of rebellion? Hanling Kingdom has been destroyed a long time ago. Today's Hanling Kingdom is a brand new country, completely different from what you thought in the past! However, this has nothing to do with you. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may be able to come over
Look, but... what we are discussing now is how you, the Western Shang Kingdom, should compensate you!" Lu Xiaoyue talked a lot, and finally brought the topic back to where it had gone.
There is no way, the other party's ability to mess around is too strong. If you don't pay attention, the other party will change the topic and deliberately delay the time.
Jian Zhen discovered this!
The negotiations have been going on for so long and no real progress has been made yet.
If Lu Xiaoyue hadn't shown off his power and directly accelerated the progress by showing his strong strength, I'm afraid he would still be wrangling now.
After discovering this, Lu Xiaoyue began to pay attention to the progress of the negotiation, not wanting to be delayed by the other party.
When Prime Minister Li heard Lu Xiaoyue's words, he knew that the other party had discovered his little trick, so he coughed a few times and retorted feebly: "We are also discussing compensation... It's true that the rights and wrongs of this war have not been discussed clearly.
, the scope of this compensation is really difficult to define..."
"It's hard to define, so don't define it!" Lu Xiaoyue changed her previous gentle attitude and became extremely tough, announcing loudly: "You just need to remember, just listen to me in everything! How can I compensate you?
Apologize, you just need to do it!"
"this……"
Li Shenghui didn't expect Lu Xiaoyue to say this at all. He didn't get used to it all of a sudden, and he was a little confused.
"Okay!"
Seeing him like that, Lu Xiaoyue waved her hands and said: "After you go back, just be prepared to apologize! Next, the second clause of compensation... In this war, Hanling Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Not only was a large number of people slaughtered,
There are also many casualties among the people and the army. You must compensate for this! For the specific amount, let’s first compensate 100 million!”
She thought for a moment and added: "If it's not enough, just keep adding more!"
"One hundred million? Silver?"
Li Shenghui's eyes widened instantly, almost popping his eyeballs out.
The entire Xishang Kingdom currently has an annual income of less than 100 million, let alone such cash. If they really want to compensate like this, even if they sell the Xishang Kingdom, they probably won’t be able to afford the compensation!
"Silver? What a beautiful idea you have! I'm talking about gold!" Lu Xiaoyue retorted loudly.
At this moment, the members of the mission were completely speechless.
One hundred million taels of gold, when converted, is almost equal to one billion taels of silver... Even the income of the Western Shang Kingdom for ten years is not enough to cover this amount.
Not to mention that it was impossible for the monarch to agree, even if he agreed, the Western Shang Kingdom would not be able to afford the compensation!
In this world, the commercial atmosphere is still very weak. Most cities are mainly based on agriculture. Only Huayin City in Hanling Kingdom has tourism as its main industry and is developing very well.
However, Huayin City is unique.
The entire Hanling Kingdom cannot find another city like this, and even other countries cannot copy the model of Huayin City.
Therefore, most countries can only look at Huayin City and drool, envying their wealth.
The same is true for the Western Shang Kingdom. Most of their cities are mainly based on agriculture, and there are even a few that are famous for hunting, specializing in the production of various valuable game furs, bones, excrement and other things.
However, these are the most primitive raw materials, basically without any processing, and will not have much added value.
Even if it is world-famous and the sales are very hot, it only looks prosperous. In fact, the people are not that rich, and the city does not necessarily have much tax revenue.
The Xishang Kingdom was very poor, but its neighbor happened to be very rich, so it kept thinking about the Hanling Kingdom, and even built a spare military camp in Shiwanda Mountain early on.
That military camp has been vacant for hundreds of years. It was only recently that news came from Hanling Kingdom that the royal family was completely destroyed and the country was nominally destroyed, so the camp was finally reactivated.
Li Shenghui thought a lot about compensation. He originally planned to refuse firmly, but then he thought about it. He would regret it anyway. Even if he agreed, what would happen?
If he doesn't agree now, Lu Xiaoyue might get angry at first... It's better to agree and delay it later!
"Okay...okay!"
Li Shenghui took a deep breath and reluctantly agreed: "We can agree to the monetary compensation...but the amount of 100 million taels of gold remains to be discussed. We must go back and discuss it with the monarch."
"Whatever you want!" Lu Xiaoyue said nonchalantly.
The purpose of her asking for 100 million taels of gold was not that she really wanted the money, but to see the other party's attitude.
Li Shenghui dared to agree to such harsh conditions. There was no magic in this negotiation.
"Mu Guan, the questions you mentioned seem to be correct..." She lowered her head and communicated with Jian Zhen in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter! Since they came to negotiate with you, they just want to attract your attention. Then let's be quick and resolve it quickly, just like outside the spirit realm city, solve it with one move!" Jianzhen said seriously.
Analyzed.
"How to solve it? It's impossible to use the world-destroying formation again, right?" Lu Xiaoyue asked helplessly.
Jian Zhen smiled faintly and said: "Haha... No need! However, this method is actually no different from the world-destroying formation. They both focus on one fatal move."
"What can you do? Please tell me quickly." Lu Xiaoyue asked hurriedly.
"good……"
After a while, Jianzhen told Lu Xiaoyue his method, and then fell silent, waiting to watch the show.
After listening to Jianzhen's method, Lu Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"The third article about compensation... is actually not compensation. It's just that Lingjing City is holding a grand party to celebrate victory. I want to invite everyone to participate. I wonder if you can show your respect?" She asked with a smile.
