Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

In all fairness, those are the bones of my heroic soul, Erlang Zhongyuan, treated like this by you, even a member of the Han family cannot look directly at them. "Du Shaoqing persuaded with kind words.

The other two were stunned when Du Shaoqing pushed [-]. Isn't that right? You were the one who shouted and killed yesterday, not us!

"It was left behind by Yang Guang's defeat in the Sui Dynasty. If he invaded our country and was defeated, we will naturally deal with it." Yuan Gaisu said proudly.

Du Shaoqing chuckled, "So, Dadu Lu also agrees with us, Minister Wei. Now that 5 of you have invaded Datang and were captured alive by us, we can also kill people at will and pile up a Jingguan?"

You, Yuan Gaisu, didn't expect that the kid on the opposite side was a smiling tiger, and he got himself into it.

"Let our [-] captured soldiers be released, and the bones of Jingguan will be dismantled and given to you." After pondering for a moment, Yuan Gaisu gave way.

Du Shaoqing laughed wildly: "Damn to Lu, I was a businessman before I became an official, and that's not how business is done. Do you want to exchange a few piles of bones for the living?

To be fair, after we kill the captives and pile them up into Jingguan, we can exchange them with you like this. "

Yuan Gaisu stared at this young boy with wide eyes, who is he?How dare you talk to me like that?Are the descendants of Datang so powerful?

Wei Zheng and Li Ke looked at each other, secretly happy in their hearts, Du Shaoqing has started to settle accounts, he might kill Goguryeo, this guy is definitely a profiteer.

"What exactly do you want?" Yuan Gaisu asked through gritted teeth.

Du Shaoqing started to walk around with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Datang is ready to kill and take revenge. I brought up the compensation discussion. I think the problem can be solved with money, and there is no need for death.

To put it bluntly, you paid for the lives of these [-] captives to go back. Although it is disgraceful, I am a businessman, and I only count gains and losses. Do you think this is fair to Lu? "

After a moment of silence, Yuan Gaisu asked, "Who are you? Can you represent Datang?"

Before Du Shaoqing could speak, Wei Zheng said, "This is my son-in-law, Du Shaoqing, the most honored son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor's favorite son-in-law. Otherwise, do you think anyone can persuade a group of generals?"

Well, the son-in-law is the son-in-law. Du Shaoqing thought that he should be regarded as a real and unknown son-in-law. He had a baby with the princess first, but there is no official book.

Yuan Gaisu nodded and recognized Du Shaoqing's identity, "It's okay to talk about it, and it's true to say that you spent money to buy your life. I like your straightforward statement.

But you have to be sincere, your asking price is completely open to the sky, and it is impossible for us to give it out. Goguryeo is a small country with insufficient national strength, so you have to speak within your means. "

Then Du Shaoqing began to talk to the other party one by one about how to calculate the money, where is the loss, who is responsible, then who is going to pay the money, and how much is it?How much is it worth, how many discounts Datang gave, etc., and so on, the people around can hear it clearly, but they are also completely confused.

Yuan Gaisu looked back at the group of officials he had brought, and thought, why didn't he bring the financial officials?How can I settle accounts with a merchant?

Needless to say, after all the accounts are calculated, it must be attributed to Goguryeo, so the party that should lose money has not run away. The big opponent Lu nodded in agreement with each item of data. There is no false report, but the total number is calculated. It made him feel worried, this is not settling accounts, this is extortion, how do we have so much money and food?

"No, as I said, Goguryeo's national strength is weak, so how can it have so much money and food? Even if it sells iron and steel, it can't afford that much." Yuan Gaisu said.

Du Shaoqing smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't get it out, since the big opponent Lu thinks I'm fair, it's fine if I don't deny it.

I have two options here, one is to pay in installments, pay the money in five or ten years, and pay part of it to Datang every year, plus [-]% of the deferred interest, which is not much , Goguryeo is a country that can wrestle with our former Sui Dynasty. It can't win, isn't it a joke?No one believed it. "

I, Wei Zheng and Li Ke, were already dumbfounded, paying in installments, how did this kid grow his brain?This is to kill Goguryeo. They have to pay taxes and tribute every year, and pay tribute with huge sums of money. At least they will become poorer and poorer during the repayment period, and the national power will never become stronger.

Chapter 162

Apparently Yuan Gaisu also had this in mind, and he actually fell into that boy's tricks step by step, and nodded in approval to the previous small account in a daze, and now it's all right, it has become a huge sum of money.

"This method won't work. The people of Goguryeo also need to live. The annual payment will make the poor people worse. Please tell me the second plan."

Du Shaoqing smiled knowingly, knowing that he would not agree. The person opposite is a smart man, "The second one is simple. If Goguryeo can't afford the money, you can use the land as a discount. To put it simply, you sell a piece of land. Make compensation to Datang.

A land as large as half of Yingzhou is enough, and the price I offer is absolutely fair. "

"How is this possible?" Yuan Gaisu pointed at Du Shaoqing and asked.

"Huh? Why? Do you think the land is too big? Then you can also pay part of the money and cut part of the land, so that it can be negotiated. Business dealings are fair and fair." Du Shaoqing said with a smile.

Yuan Gaisu's face changed, "Okay, okay, so you are fighting for this purpose. If you want to get my land in Goguryeo, then you can just lead troops to attack. Why do you have to go around? It is absolutely impossible for us to give in."

Wei Zheng stood up, and he felt it was his turn to intervene, "Okay Prince Du, the old man has already said that these Goguryeo barbarians are ignorant of kindness, so if they say anything, they can only be resolved by force. Don't talk about it, just fight them. Whatever we need, we'll go get it ourselves."

Du Shaoqing hastily persuaded him, turned his head to persuade Yuan Gaisu: "You can't say that to Lu, why are you giving in? You sent [-] elite captives. We didn't go to your country to capture them, nor did we I, Datang, intentionally bullied neighboring countries.

These [-] soldiers are all elite soldiers. If we really go to war, without this [-] troops, I am afraid it will not be difficult for us to conquer a territory as large as Yingzhou, so please go back and discuss with King Rongliu. Do you want people or land? "

Then he whispered in the other party's ear: "If the land is gone, you can occupy it later. Your [-] elites will not be able to increase in a short while. Killing them will destroy the [-] families of Goguryeo. It's a big deal to Lu Sansi." .”

Although these words were whispered, Du Shaoqing was only warning and did not avoid others. Wei Zheng and Li Ke also heard it.

Yuan Gaisu's face was livid, and he knew in his heart that the 5 lives were the death spot, and finally took a deep look at Du Shaoqing, and said: "Give me five days to go back and discuss, and during this period, no more prisoners are allowed to be killed. "

Du Shaoqing laughed loudly: "Of course, these are all bargaining chips we use for compensation, and I will take care of them.

The big opponent, Lu Ye, please go back and discuss it. The demolition of Jingguan, plus compensation, will be settled at once.

You have been here three times, and the patience of our generals has been worn out.

Goguryeo can pay in one go, I believe in your strength, and you don't need to pay from the treasury, and you don't need to search the people.Big opponent Lu Keknows the Weishui alliance in the Tang Dynasty? "

Wei Zheng opened his mouth to remind: "My son-in-law, be careful with your words!"

"What are you afraid of? A man can bend and stretch, and it is not shameful to buy his life with money. Back then, His Majesty plundered all the wealth of the nobles in Chang'an in exchange for the East Turkic Xieli peace agreement. How is it now? You must have replaced the grass on the grave of Jieli several times, so the temporary gains and losses are not counted. What.

It can be seen that Da Dui Lu is also a heroic man. I think as a prime minister of a country, he must be courageous. "

Seeing Du Shaoqing hiding the knife in his smile, Yuan Gaisu didn't say a word, snorted coldly, and walked away, cursing secretly in his heart, this son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty is simply a profiteer, and the last suggestion is to get rid of the family, which is worse than cutting the land Difficult, I will offend all Goguryeo nobles, this is not a suggestion, this is a poisonous plan to deceive people.

Seeing Du Shaoqing break the deadlock alone, and let the other party admit the full amount of compensation with a sharp mouth, Wei Zheng and others gave Du Shaoqing thumbs up after Yuan Gaisu left.

"I hope that the person sent by the other party next time will not be arguing with us, otherwise the special envoy of Chang'an will arrive in a few days, and I am afraid that there will be another accident."

He didn't know that at this time, the special envoy Wang Si was already in the carriage on the road, and he had deduced his words almost five times. Wang Si was thinking in his heart that he must admit his mistake with the speechless and ashamed face of the Goguryeo monarch and ministers. I know what the official minister of the Ministry of Rites will look like when he gets Wei Zheng's conclusion.

King Rongliu of Goguryeo has long been evaded by his subordinate Lu Yuan Gaisu. He has been planning since Yuan Gaisu's father, Yuan Taizuo, was in the position of the great opponent Lu. Now that Yuan Gaisu is a hero, his natural methods are even better , King Rongliu has existed in name only.

When the ministers heard that they wanted to cede the land and pay compensation to Datang, they all sternly refused, and blamed Yuan Gaisu, but when the great opponent Lu threw out fifty thousand elite soldiers and captives, no one spoke. Wan Dajun, Goguryeo is a tooth-pulling tiger in this period.

The rest of the 15 troops are still farming and harvesting crops at home. The reason why I proposed five days is either to discuss the issue of compensation, or to quickly gather troops to defend against the enemy.

"What? Has no one spoken? Is it war or peace?

If there is a war, then the official will order a fierce battle to the death. We can stop Yang Guang's army of one million in the Sui Dynasty, and we must also be able to stop the fifty thousand elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. However, after this battle, I am afraid that Goguryeo will need at least five or even ten years of fighting. Rest and rest.

If they do, then discuss how to compensate the other party. No matter what, the [-] elite soldiers must be redeemed, and we still count on them to expand their territories. "

Following Yuan Gaisu's words, the officials below finally made a move. A confidant saw the intentions of the Lord Lu and took the initiative to stand up and said: "The lives of the soldiers and the common people are the most important to Lu. Take some money to redeem the soldiers, so that the people will definitely be grateful to our court, and we are not at a disadvantage."

"That's right, Lu, I'll wait until we agree to make peace, and we'll just lose some money."

Nodding his head, Yuan Gaisu said: "Since that's the case, let's discuss how to make up the amount for the other party. Datang is a lion and threatens the lives of the prisoners. We have to give it."

After some calculations, the Goguryeo financial officials pointed out that Datang was asking for a lot of money, and there was absolutely no such amount, but he couldn't figure out how much, so he stopped haggling about the price. The other party said, this is the last time to bargain. .
