Chapter 548: Wei Zheng’s So-Called Generosity
Lu Dongzan is here again.
The Tubo delegation came from Chang'an City to Wannian County in a mighty manner.
Dozens of people are preparing to discuss with Zhao Chen about the conditions for opening the mutual market today.
On the surface, the conditions given by Zhao Chen are quite superior.
Not only did they give them Tubo supplies for free, but they also said that they could pay for free and build roads for them Tubo.
But this is the case, which makes Lu Dongzan and others even more worried.
Others may not know what kind of person Zhao Chen is, but Dalu Dongzan's heart is like a mirror.
When he came to the Tang Dynasty for missions half a year ago, he only met Zhao Chen for the first time, but his Lu Dongzan was also deeply tortured.
No matter what it was, Zhao Chen gave him a perfect conscience.
Zhao Chen is a guy who will not suffer any losses, and his personality can be said to be vengeful.
Lu Dongzan definitely doesn't believe that Zhao Chen would help them with Tubo so kindly this time.
What's more, if such conditions were really agreed, who would agree to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and those court officials?
"Lord Lu Dongzan, what does Zhao Chen mean? He will give us such conditions!"
"Not to mention the trade between the two countries, Datang is willing to give us the supplies we need for free, and why do they need to build roads for us?"
"You know, the cement road they mentioned was the Tang Dynasty, but it was just beginning. Even their capital, Chang'an City, was not complete."
"There must be a problem with the conditions for road construction."
"Lord Lu Dongzan, this exchange has a great relationship, so don't be careless."
In the lobby of the county government office, Lu Dongzan sat with the members of the delegation with him.
Many people think about the conditions given to them by Zhao Chen, and they are always a little worried.
At this time, before Zhao Chen and the others arrived, Lu Dongzan and others started discussing in Tubo language.
Today they will re-discuss the conditions for the trade with Zhao Chen in the lobby of Wannian County.
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Chen had not appeared yet.
Faced with the words of his subordinates, Lu Dongzan didn't know what to say.
Given the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chen actually promised to build roads for them.
There must be something wrong with this.
"Zhao Chen is here later, just be careful and test it." After a long time, Lu Dongzan said this.
...
"Zhao Chen, we will negotiate with the Tubo delegation later. You can't just squirt at people like before."
"Our Tang Dynasty pays attention to etiquette. Even if the enemy is on the other side, we cannot speak rudely. We must always think that we are a country of etiquette."
"Come on, look at me, you will have such a smile on your face later."
At the county yamen, Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen instructed, two rows of teeth appeared in their mouths and a smile appeared on their faces.
The only people representing the negotiations between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will be Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng.
Zhao Chen just felt that Old Wei insisted on going together because he was bored.
After all, there have been many major and small matters in the county government recently, and Changsun has dealt with them.
There are also Cheng Chumo in public security, and Qin Huaiyu and the other two are in charge.
The old guy is like Zhao Chen, and he is bored.
Zhao Chen curled his lips, took a sip of tea, and then got up and went to the front hall.
After so long, I can’t let Lu Dongzan wait too long!
"Hey, you have to remember it in your heart, be gentle, be gentle!" Wei Zheng put down his cup and chased after Zhao Chen.
Not long after, Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng appeared in the lobby of the county government.
When Lu Dongzan and others saw Zhao Chen coming, they immediately stopped talking, stood up one after another, bowed to Zhao Chen, "Duke Zhao Jun, Doctor Wei."
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's sit down." Zhao Chen nodded.
Everyone sat down on both sides.
Lu Dongzan looked at Zhao Chen, and saw that he had no expression on his face, and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"As a Tubo envoy, Lu Dongzan, you can say anything directly!" Zhao Chen said.
"Then..." Lu Dongzan hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Zhao Chen and said, "Mr. Duke, we have considered the conditions for mutual market for a long time. Tubo is grateful for the help of Duke."
"But mutual trading is about exchanges between the two parties. Bai wants the resources of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Dongzan was frightened. Therefore, it would be better to exchange it in this mutual trading."
"As for the road construction, I'd better not want it. Now the Tang Dynasty has just begun to build such a road. I, Tubo, dare not let your country work hard." Lu Dongzan and Zhao Chen said slowly.
In fact, after saying so much, Lu Dongzan just felt that the conditions Zhao Chen gave him must be problematic.
Lu Dongzan dares not take advantage.
Therefore, equivalent exchange is the most suitable thing for them.
If he didn't take the Tang Dynasty's things for nothing, Zhao Chen couldn't force them to build this path.
"I……"
"Let your mother be shit." Zhao Chen was about to speak, but when he heard Wei Zheng beside him slap the table and get up.
Zhao Chen, who was unprepared, was shocked.
Lu Dongzan and others were also frightened.
I secretly thought that Wei Zheng was so powerful, and he was indeed well-known.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried again.
"Old Wei..."
"Do you really think we are negotiating here?"
"I don't want to accept the conditions, so I'll get back to you Tubo as soon as possible."
"Today you either accept Zhao Chen's conditions or send troops to rob him directly. Of course, if you have that strength!" Wei Zheng pointed at Lu Dongzan on the opposite side and scolded him fiercely.
Zhao Chen's face was thrusting.
Didn’t this guy say he wanted to talk before?
Didn’t you mean to be elegant?
Isn’t the Tang Dynasty a country of etiquette?
This is what Wei Zheng said himself, now it’s better, this is just swearing!
"Vulgar, vulgar words, I didn't expect Doctor Wei to be so vulgar!" Lu Dongzan's face was thrusting in anger.
He always thought that the Tang Dynasty only had Zhao Chen who ignored his face and would directly scold them.
Unexpectedly, even a high-ranking official like Wei Zheng is like this.
Even more outrageous than Zhao Chen.
Outrageous!
The other members of the mission were stunned by Wei Zheng's words.
"Aren't you talking about a country of etiquette and a great country's ambition?" Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and whispered.
Wei Zheng showed a smug look on his face, glanced at Lu Dongzan and others with a blue face, and smiled and said, "The soldiers are born and die outside. If we are not strong enough, we are sorry for them."
"Besides, given the current situation in Tubo, how can they deal with me?"
Wei Zheng said very loudly, and he did not avoid Lu Dongzan's presence at all.
Or rather, he deliberately said it to Lu Dong and the others.
Zhao Chen rubbed his head.
He can now find out that Old Wei is old but his heart is not old.
Sometimes he acts like a child.
But the effect is excellent.
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Lu Dongzan and others dared not refute even if they were so angry that their faces turned blue.
Chapter completed!
