Number of romantic figures

Chapter 1041 Completed the self-written scroll
Feng Ziying had a headache.

If Zai Sai really did this, it would be really feasible. Even though it would be difficult to escort 5000 people back to the grassland, it could still be done.

According to what Zai Sai said, 50 taels of silver per person is about 12 taels, and the rest will be handed over to himself. [-] taels of silver seems to be reasonable, but his credit seems to be somewhat discounted.

Of course, nothing is easy for Zai Sai. Thousands of people are several times more than hundreds of people. All the way back to the grassland, there are many things, but the income is not much, so Zai Sai must be more If you are willing to pack it up and give it to yourself, the premise is that you are willing to pay more money.

In contrast, those generals and officers can easily get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in ransom, and hundreds of people can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in ransom, which is much more cost-effective.

"If Mr. Zai Sai thinks this is more cost-effective, Feng has no objection." Although Feng Ziying finds it tricky, but on the surface, he doesn't show the slightest expression. This Zai Sai seems rough, but in his heart he is meticulous and careful, and his calculations are very thorough. But there is also no lack of determination, a good ally and a difficult opponent.

Zai Sai's gaze focused on Feng Ziying's face, as if he wanted to understand Feng Ziying's true thoughts, but in the end he smiled: "Master Feng, if this is the case, then Zai Sai will be like this. How about giving you 4 taels of silver for more than 30 people?"

"It doesn't matter if you take away 15 million taels, as long as Lord Zai Sai can take it away, but the silver is up to [-] taels, and I have to declare first that this is a negotiation for the court. In the end, I have to go to the court to make a final decision." , the specific payment method, it is estimated that the possibility of silver is relatively small, the three types of materials such as cloth, tea, and salt may be more, and iron materials and grains are slightly less,..."

Feng Ziying looked very free and easy with an attitude of listening and respecting, as if the life and death of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital camp really had nothing to do with him.

Feng Ziying's unrestrained style actually overwhelmed Zai Sai's army.

15 taels of silver is not unacceptable, but it is still far from his own psychological gap. In his opinion, 30 taels of silver is a more sincere price tag.

Of course, he doesn't plan to really bring thousands of people back to the grassland. The distribution, resettlement, and final redemption will be quite troublesome and cumbersome, and dealing with merchants is also not a worry-free thing. How many unexpected problems came out.

"Master Feng, are you forcing me?" Zai Sai thought for a while, "If I agree to your price, after I return to the grassland, I will definitely be criticized and blamed by the other four departments and the Horqin people, especially the Horqin people. People, they are not our five tribes of Nekhka. They have been complaining a lot since the Southern Expedition. Hongguoer can say something, but Mingan and Manggus have been flirting with Jianzhou Jurchen. If they catch them this time If you want to persuade them in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.”

The three brothers Horqin Mingan, Manggus and Hongguoer, it was Mingan who made the decision. Hongguoer was the younger brother and didn't have much right to speak. The Jurchens are close, Feng Ziying also knows this.

"Lord Zaisai, are you bullying me? I don't understand the situation on your grassland? The prisoners of the Santun Camp in World War I are one thing, but their armor, weapons, clothes, and all kinds of carriages and horses in the camp , and more than a thousand craftsmen and farmers in the city, I am afraid that you have arranged to escort them back to the grassland?" Feng Ziying said lightly: "These things add up to more than a million? People? I’m afraid it’s more than one tael of silver to each person? This doesn’t even count the hundreds of military officers you plan to bring back to the grassland. Could it be that the tribes on the grassland have already reached this level of wealth? Are you still not satisfied with the income from a southern expedition of silver?"

Feng Ziying's questioning left Zai Sai speechless, including Mang Guda, Bi Lingtu and Su Zai, who also looked a little embarrassed with joy. Indeed, such a brilliant achievement depends on a battle between Beijing and the camp. In the early stage of the battle of Qian'an, tens of thousands of sacrifices were made. If I knew why it was necessary to fight Qian'an, I would just fight hard according to the Beijing camp.

"Master Feng, that's not what you said. The key is that I have more than 5 people in my hands. If everyone thinks that they haven't received enough compensation, they will definitely have doubts, especially the Horqin people..." Zai Sai also felt that he The words are a little unconvincing.

Feng Ziying said coldly: "Lord Zaisai, I don't think it is necessary to be too accommodating to the Horqin people. I am afraid that in the future, we will mainly beat and intimidate the Horqin people, supplemented by wooing them. The law of survival."

Zaisai's face is not very good-looking if he is not too polite, but he also has to admit that Feng Ziying's words are indeed very accurate. For the Horqin people who have begun to fall for the Jianzhou Jurchen, I am afraid that they really can't be too gentle and must be tough. Even forceful suppression will be an option.

Seeing that Zai Sai did not speak, Feng Ziying said again: "How will Master Zai Sai deal with those hundreds of generals?"

Zai Sai was taken aback, "Could it be that Mr. Feng intends to redeem them for them?"

"That's impossible." Feng Ziying shook her head, "That's a matter for the court, but are these people willing to contact merchants to redeem them first?"

"It's true, but it's not a simple matter. I hope to solve it together instead of talking about it one by one. It's too troublesome." Zai Sai nodded.

"In this way, Lord Zai Sai, Lord Zai Sai might as well delay and suppress the redemption of these people. I will report to the court. The merchants can talk about it for the time being. As for the 5 people, I promise 20 taels of silver for redemption, but Master Zai Sai doesn’t have to bring thousands of people back to the grassland, but the final redemption of these military officers is up to me, and of course, you won’t suffer in terms of price.”

Seeing what Feng Ziying said so solemnly, Zai Sai also knew that this might be the final result, and further bargaining would not only damage his own image, but also be detrimental to the future cooperation between the two parties, not to mention that this condition was barely achieved.

As for the latter condition, although I don't know what the other party's intentions are, as long as I don't let myself lose money, it doesn't matter who will pay the money or who will make the decision. Of course, he is more inclined to cooperate with Feng Ziying, which is more straightforward and reliable. Not to mention, but also conducive to deeper cooperation in the future.

A preliminary agreement has been reached.

"Lord Zai Sai, the basic topic is almost over. Please taste the Biluochun brought back by Feng from Jiangnan. It is fresh and meaningful, with a lingering aftertaste. It may be a little weak at first taste, but if you drink it for a long time, it will have a special charm. "

Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Oh? Men on our prairie prefer the strong taste of brick tea. It can even be said that for our grassland tribes, brick tea is as important as salt and iron. If Mr. Feng can use brick tea when paying 20 taels of silver Zai Sai is very grateful for the discount, iron materials, ironware and tea bricks, and is willing to give a better discount on the price."

Zai Sai picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was indeed very weak. For those of them who were used to drinking brick tea, it was no different from plain boiled water.

"Well, there is no problem. Even in the future trade between the two sides, with Yuguan Port, whether it is Eastern Mongolia or Hercynian Jurchen, they can obtain more abundant, convenient and more favorable conditions for the trade of various goods. ..."

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Zai Sai asked directly: "Is it also possible on iron materials?"

All eyes were on Feng Ziying's face again.

Everything else is easy to talk about, including tea and salt. Even if the border areas are strictly banned, the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce has some ways to break them up and bring these things in. However, it is much more difficult to bring iron materials outside the customs, and the ban is also strong. It is much larger, and even if it can be transported into the grassland, the price is extremely expensive.

But for the tribes on the prairie, iron is an indispensable or even life-and-death commodity. Weapons, arrow clusters, armor, and hoofs all need a lot of iron. The sickle and guillotine are in great demand.

Zaisai also got the news that Yongping Prefecture seems to have started to produce a large amount of iron and steel materials, and the quality is even larger and better than that of Zunhua Iron Factory, which is famous in the Northland and grasslands. On the one hand, with the full support of Yongping, the strength can be greatly improved quickly. Just for the iron leaf decoration on the leather armor, a lot of iron materials are urgently needed, but once this goal is achieved, Qingqi cannot be said to change suddenly. It is not suitable for heavy cavalry, but it can greatly reduce the damage of arrows in cavalry battles.

Not only Zaisai, Busia Mara is also very concerned about this matter.

Although Yehe Jiaqi is known as Jiaqi, it is only thicker on the armor. Some key parts, such as the helmet, chest guard, waist and abdomen, etc., are easy to hit with arrows. Armor, if the iron material is sufficient, it can be made into the kind of meager but stronger steel pieces than ordinary iron leaves that Busia Mara showed Feng Ziying. I'm afraid it will really become a veritable armored cavalry.

Feng Ziying had long expected that Zai Sai would ask this question sooner or later. The struggle for supremacy among the tribes on the grassland was often reflected in the population and weapons and armor. Where the advanced is reflected is in the sharpness and firmness of your knives, guns, arrows, and armor.

"Yes." Feng Ziying nodded.

"Really?" Zai Saiyi didn't seem to believe it, so he made a big opening.

"If what Master Zai Sai and I said before is true, then of course what I said is also true." Feng Ziying nodded solemnly.

If the Five Departments of Neikalkha are really willing to suppress Horqin according to Liaodong's intention, contain Chahar, and cooperate to threaten and attack Jianzhou Jurchen, not to mention iron material, even if it is a firearm, Feng Ziying thinks they can support the other party.
