Chapter five hundred and forty-eight Wei Zheng's so-called magnanimity
Lu Dongzan is here again.
The Tubo delegation arrived in Wannian County from Chang'an City in great force.
Dozens of people are preparing to discuss the conditions for opening the mutual market with Zhao Chen today.
On the surface, the conditions provided by Zhao Chen are quite superior.
Not only did they give them Tibetan supplies for free, but they also said they could provide them with free money and supplies to build roads in Tibet.
But it was precisely this that made Lu Dongzan and others even more worried.
Others may not know what kind of person Zhao Chen is, but Lu Dongzan is like a bright mirror in his heart.
When he came to Datang as an envoy half a year ago, he only met Zhao Chen for the first time, but Talu Dongzan was also deeply tortured.
No matter what it was, Zhao Chen would treat him obediently.
Zhao Chen is a guy who never suffers losses, and his character can be said to be retributive.
Lu Dongzan absolutely did not believe that Zhao Chen would be so kind this time to help them in Tubo.
What's more, if such terms were really negotiated, who among the emperors and courtiers of the Tang Dynasty would agree?
"Lord Lu Dongzan, what on earth do Zhao Chen mean? He would actually offer us such conditions!"
"Let's not talk about the mutual trade. Datang is willing to give us the materials we need for free. Also, why do they want to build roads for us?"
"You know, the cement road they talk about is the Tang Dynasty, but it has just begun. Even their capital, Chang'an City, does not have a complete one."
"There must be something wrong with the conditions for building roads."
"Lord Ludongzan, this mutual trade is of great importance, so don't be careless."
In the county government hall, Lu Dongzan sat with the members of the delegation who came with him.
Many people are always a little worried when they think about the conditions Zhao Chen gave them.
At this time, before Zhao Chen and others arrived, Lu Dongzan and others began to discuss in Tubo.
Today they will renegotiate the terms of mutual trading with Zhao Chen in the Wannian County Government Hall.
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Chen has not appeared yet.
Facing the members of his own envoy, Lu Dongzan didn't know what to say.
Given the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chen actually agreed to build roads for them.
There must be something wrong with this.
"We'll have to wait until Zhao Chen arrives later. Just be careful and test it." It took a long time before Lu Dongzan could hold back his words.
…
"Zhao Chen, we are going to negotiate with the Tibetan mission later. You can't do what you did before, just snarling at people."
"We in the Tang Dynasty pay attention to etiquette. Even if we are facing an enemy, we cannot say anything unscrupulously. We must always remember that we are a country of etiquette."
"Come and see me, you will have to have this smile on your face later."
The county government office, Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen gave instructions, with two rows of teeth exposed in their mouths and a smile on their faces.
Later, the only people representing Tang Dynasty to negotiate with Tubo were Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng.
Zhao Chen just felt that Old Wei Tou insisted on going together because he was bored.
After all, Fang Yizhi and Changsun Chong have been handling all the county government affairs recently.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu are also in charge of public security.
The old guy was just as bored as Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen pouted, took a sip of tea, and stood up to go to the front hall.
It's been so long, Lu Dongzan can't be kept waiting for too long!
"Hey, you have to keep it in mind, be generous, be generous!" Wei Zheng put down his cup and chased after Zhao Chen.
Not long after, Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng appeared in the county government hall.
When Lu Dongzan and others saw Zhao Chen coming, they immediately stopped talking, stood up one after another, cupped hands with Zhao Chen and said, "Mr. Zhao, Doctor Wei."
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please take a seat." Zhao Chen nodded.
Everyone sat down on two sides.
Lu Dongzan looked at Zhao Chen and saw his expressionless face. He didn't know how to speak for a while.
"As the Tibetan envoy, Lu Dongzan, you can tell me anything directly!" Zhao Chen said.
"Then..." Lu Dongzan hesitated for a moment, then held hands with Zhao Chen and said, "Your Majesty, we have considered the terms of mutual trade for a long time. Everyone in Tubo is grateful for your help."
"But the mutual trade is about exchanges between two parties. Lu Dongzan is frightened because he wants Datang's resources for nothing. Therefore, this mutual trade is just exchange of equal value."
"As for the matter of road construction, it is better not to do it. Now the Tang Dynasty has just begun to build such roads. I, Tubo, do not dare to let your country work hard." Lu Dongzan and Zhao Chen said slowly.
In fact, after saying so much, Lu Dongzan just felt that there must be something wrong with the conditions Zhao Chen gave him.
Lu Dongzan did not dare to take advantage.
Therefore, equal exchange is the most suitable for them.
He didn't get the Tang Dynasty's things for nothing, so Zhao Chen couldn't force them to build this road.
"I……"
"Fuck your mother." Zhao Chen was just about to speak when Wei Zheng stood up and slapped the table.
Zhao Chen, who was unprepared, was shocked.
Lu Dongzan and others were also frightened.
He secretly thought that Wei Zheng was so powerful and he really lived up to his reputation.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried again.
"Old Wei Tou..."
"Do you really think we are negotiating here?"
"If you don't want to accept the conditions, go back to Tibet as soon as possible."
"Today you either accept Zhao Chen's conditions or directly send troops to rob him. Of course, if you have the strength!" Wei Zheng pointed at Lu Dongzan opposite and scolded him.
Zhao Chen's face twitched.
Didn't this guy say he wanted ideas before?
Didn’t you say you have to be magnanimous?
Isn’t the Tang Dynasty a land of etiquette?
This is what Wei Zheng said himself. It's better now, this is a direct expletive!
"Vulgar, vulgar words, I didn't expect Doctor Wei to be so vulgar!" Lu Dong praised his face and twitched with anger.
He always thought that Zhao Chen was the only one in the Tang Dynasty who was so shameless that he would scold them directly.
Unexpectedly, even a high-ranking official like Wei Zheng is like this.
Even more extreme than Zhao Chen.
Outrageous!
The other members of the mission were stunned by Wei Zheng's words.
"Didn't I just talk about a country with etiquette and a great spirit?" Zhao Chen looked at Wei Zheng and whispered.
Wei Zheng showed a proud look on his face, glanced at Lu Dongzan and others who were turning blue, and said with a smile: "The soldiers are born and died outside. If we are not strong enough, we will be sorry for them."
"Besides, with the current situation in Tubo, what can they do to me?"
What Wei Zheng said next was very loud, and he didn't avoid Lu Dongzan's presence at all.
In other words, he deliberately told Lu Dongzan and the others.
Zhao Chen rubbed his head.
He has now discovered that Old Wei Tou is an old man with an old heart.
Sometimes he behaves like a child.
But the effect is excellent.
After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Lu Dongzan and others in front of them did not dare to refute even though their faces turned blue with anger.
"Mr. Zhao, what's your opinion?" After a long silence, Lu Dongzan looked at Zhao Chen.?
