Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 14 bargain

“Your Excellency, what does the Great Xia Empire want?” Benedict Keogh listened for a long time, knowing that it was meat on the chopping board, he could only helplessly say: “Our country is now in danger, the Great Xia Empire is in the end. How will we support it? Please speak up about what is needed.”

“Haha , the messenger is really quick to talk.” When Changsun Sheng finally consumed the patience and confidence of the other party, he smiled with satisfaction, and replied: “My Daxia learned that your country has a very productive Silver mine…”

After Benedict Keogh heard Changsun Sheng talk about the silver mines on Ice and Snow Island, he immediately interrupted his veto and said, “No! We won’t give you the silver mines!”

Hearing this, Chang Sun Sheng’s originally smiling face suddenly became difficult to look. He asked dissatisfiedly: “Apart from this, what else can you give Daxia to me? A few stinking animal skins. Or is it the salted fish that can be seen everywhere in the sea? Or is it a few luminous stones that are of no use?”

When Chang Sun Sheng saw that the other party was too late to answer, he deliberately sighed and stood up regretfully: “If your country can’t pay the corresponding price, I can only regret and sympathize with your country’s difficulties. After all, your country is too far away from my Daxia, it is beyond reach!”

Benedict Keogh saw that this was about to talk about collapse, and when he saw Changsun Cheng turning around and about to leave, he immediately became anxious. If this talks about collapse, then the last bit of hope for their ice kingdom will be So no more.

So Benedict Keolimara lived in Changsun Sheng, who wanted to leave. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Changsun Sheng, saying: “Your Excellency, go slowly, this deep sea pearl is just a bit of me. Be careful, please accept it.”

After speaking, he held Chang Sun Sheng’s long sleeves in one hand, and held an emerald green bead in one hand, looking at each other nervously, looking forward to Chang Sun Sheng’s response.

Changsun Sheng glanced at the bead in the right hand of Benedict Keogh, a little funny in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to hesitate, then looked around, and finally took the other party’s bead calmly.

“Hey !” Seeing the expectation in the other’s eyes, Chang Sun Sheng deliberately sighed again long and sat back to his original position and said: “Since the messenger is so sincere, then the officer should sit down again.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” When Benedict Keogh saw that the other party received the beads, although it was a bit painful, he understood it. He went on to say: “The requirements of the Great Xia Empire are really too far, and your Excellency also knows. The development of our country depends on that silver mine. If it is handed over to the Great Xia Empire, it will not be able to escape in the end anyway, then our country might as well not come to ask for help. We hope that the Great Xia Empire understands our country’s difficulties.”

Regarding the situation of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, Changsun Sheng might know better than Benedict Keogh. He knew what the other party said was true, and knew that the other party would never accept this condition.

However, as the so-called skyrocketing prices and paying back the money, Chang Sun Sheng did this for the present moment.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Changsun Sheng was no longer slow, he finally revealed his “fox tail”.

“So that’s the case.” Changsun Sheng nodded deliberately and clearly, and said: “I Daxia is willing to be considerate of the vassal. Then let’s do it. Regarding your country’s silver mines, Daxia will not want it. But since Daxia is going to send troops. To rescue your country, your country has to bear whatever the military expenses are.”

Hearing Changsun Sheng’s words, Benedict Keogh thought that the previous “bribery” had worked, and happily replied: “Your Excellency is right. This military expenditure should be and should be.”

“Well, that’s all right.” Chang Sun Sheng gave an expression that I thought you were not willing to even make military expenses, which made Benedict Keogh feel a little embarrassed, but then when he heard Chang Sun Sheng say After the military expenditure figures, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

“What?!” Benedict Keogh asked with a confirmation that he couldn’t believe his ears: “The military expenses actually cost 200 million taels of summer coins?”

Benedict Keogh knew the value of Xia coins. A gold coin could only be exchanged for two or two Xia coins, and one or two Xia coins could be exchanged for five silver coins.

In other words, the 200 million taels of summer coins mentioned by Changsun Sheng is equivalent to one billion silver coins of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, which is an astronomical figure that cannot be afforded even if the Ice and Snow Kingdom is sold!

“Is this too much?” After a moment of loss of consciousness, Benedict Keogh asked Changsun Sheng anxiously: “Why do you ask for so much money?”

“Many?” Changsun Sheng repeatedly shook his head and retorted: “It’s not much at all. If your country is not for your own vassal, I am afraid that no matter how much money you have, you won’t get our support.”

“Furthermore.” Seeing the other party’s unshakable appearance, Changsun Sheng said immediately: “As long as your country pays this price, your country will definitely restore your country’s territory to its previous size, and your country’s enemy will be The enemy of your own country, it is entirely possible that your country can even completely occupy the enemy country by virtue of this. Your Excellency, you can turn defeat into victory by paying only 200 million taels, and even take this one step further. The stakes here are not just 200 million. Two summer coins can be measured.”

Benedict Keogh admitted that he was very excited after hearing what Changsun Sheng said, but it was the two hundred million taels of Xia Yuan that Changsun Sheng said that he couldn’t get it out. If he was asked to give up, he would be a little unwilling.

When Chang Sun Sheng saw the pensive Benedict Keogh, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up his tea cup and drank leisurely. He believed that the other party was not such a person who gave up easily, and this plan was not his final plan. .

I don’t know how long it took, Benedict Keogh raised his head again, and smiled bitterly at Changsun Sheng: “Your Excellency, the country is weak, and this price is really unaffordable for this country.”

Chang Sun Sheng saw that the other party rejected this plan as expected. Just as he was about to tell the next plan, Benedict Keogh proposed a plan to him: “Your Excellency, if we just repel the enemy’s attack , How much does it cost to restore a part of the territory?”

Isn’t this plan of Benedict Keogh that Changsun Sheng is about to put forward? This time it was proposed by the other party, and the effect was much better than Changsun Sheng’s proposal.

Chang Sun Sheng smiled slightly at this and replied: “If you just repel the enemy’s offensive and restore a part of your country’s territory, it will be much cheaper, but the specific price depends on the strength of your country’s support. But at least 50 million taels of Xia coins are required. This is the bottom line for the country’s troop support.”

“Five thousand two summer coins? That is two hundred and five thousand silver coins.” Benedict Keogh secretly figured it out, and couldn’t help but slap his tongue. The price was still very high. Their Ice Kingdom couldn’t get it all at once. So much money.

“It seems that I can’t get Xia Guo’s support this time. Hey , how should I go back to face Aisha now?” Thinking of this, Benedict Keogh couldn’t help but look desperate.

“Of course, my country also knows that it is unrealistic to make your country pay in a lump sum.” When Chang Sun Sheng saw the other party, he knew what the other party was thinking, and added: “Therefore, your country can do it in other ways. The payment may be paid in installments, or the country may provide a loan.”

Benedict Keogh, who was desperate on his face, immediately replied when he heard Changsun Sheng’s words. He couldn’t help being overjoyed, and hurriedly responded, “This is it, this is it!”

After being excited, Benedict Keogh asked cautiously: “What are the other methods of payment? How should the instalment payment be made? What about loans?”

Regarding Benedict Keogh’s questions, Changsun Sheng explained one by one: “The other way is to use the remaining materials to offset the shortfall, such as minerals, output, taxes, land, etc.”

“Instalment payments can be three years, five years, ten years, etc. Of course, the longer the period, the higher the interest rate.”

“As for the loan provided by the country.” Zhang Sun Sheng, who explained this, gave Benedict Keogh a meaningful look, but with this look, he saw the other party’s heart a little hairy.

After that, Chang Sun Sheng went on to preach: “That is to say, if your country needs to charge your country a hundred million two Xia dollars for military expenses, but your country cannot afford to pay, then this amount of military expenses can be fully loaned to your country by your country, and your country will win. Later, even the capital will be returned to the country, um , it can also be instalment.”

After listening to Chang Sun Sheng’s explanation, Benedict Keogh had no problem with the first two payment methods, but he was very excited about the last payment method, which is Xia Guo’s loan www. .com This is all about the empty glove white wolf!

But immediately after Benedict Keogh, he woke up from the temptation to agree to immediately. Judging from the contacts these days, he didn’t believe that Xia Guo was so kind, and there must be something tricky in it.

So Benedict Keogh asked cautiously: “Your Excellency, does this loan have other costs? And how much interest is it?”

“Your messenger has a good question.” Chang Sun Sheng didn’t feel much about this question. Anyway, he didn’t plan to use any traps in the middle. What he wanted was a fight and a willingness.

Chang Sun Sheng explained what he was about to say at this time: “The price of the loan is that you need to use your country’s silver mining rights and tariff rights as collateral until all the loans are paid off. As for the interest, it is. Not much, only 10% per year.”

This plan is actually Changsun Sheng’s final plan. He believes that the other party will definitely be willing to get help from the present at the price of the future.

“Ten percent of the annual interest? It’s really not that high, but there are some tariffs on this silver mining right…” Benedict Keogh thought to himself for a while, and then he learned what tariffs were. A decision was made.

“Your Excellency, we are willing to accept a loan from the Great Xia Empire.” Benedict Keogh couldn’t help but temptation to accept this plan. That is to say, the Snow Kingdom accepted the silver mining rights and tariff rights as collateral to obtain Xia Kingdom. Support.

This is the purpose of Changsun Sheng, so a support agreement has been reached between the two countries.

As for Xia Guo’s fear of being untrustworthy and capricious? This problem is not a problem at all in front of Xia Guo’s powerful army!
