Meng Kai came in one step and three times. Although there were a few soldiers from Lu Jun following behind, both as guards and surveillance, Meng Kai didn't care at all. He studied martial arts since he was a child, and when he was young, he traveled all over the world's famous mountains and rivers.
, now he is quite famous in Hexi. This time he was ordered to come out to help the four counties of Zhangye to make peace, which is also the beginning of his great ambitions in politics.
He was very confident. He thought of all the conditions he had put forward. He gave enough face and had enough inner thoughts. He believed that Lu Guang had no reason to refuse. After all, he had obtained four counties in vain and could isolate Zhangye without losing money and spending money on soldiers.
, Why don’t you do such a good thing?
Lu Guang will definitely agree to me! Meng Kai thought confidently.
After entering the lobby in the morning, there was not a whole family. There was only one young man reading a book there. The man Meng Kai had done his homework in advance. Duan Ye, the famous man around Lu Guang, was very surprised. The others
Where are the people going?
Seeing Meng Kai coming in, Duan Ye stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Meng is here? Please, please sit down! Cough, come, have tea!"
Meng Kai sat in the guest seat in a daze, so naturally a primary school sent tea, while Duan Ye asked with a kind look: "Mr. Meng can rest well? Are you still used to eating?"
"Uh, thanks to the care, Meng Kai is all right." After Meng Kai said that, he saw Duan Ye looking at him with a smile on his face, and felt a little embarrassed, saying, "Didn't you talk about the afternoon negotiations below the festival? Uh, now this is...
…”
"Oh." Duan Ye "suddenly realized", "Jiexia and others were busy with military affairs, and Duan Ye used to join the army in charge of military Chinese affairs, but now he is the general of Tiger Wing and is also engaged in military affairs. With the love between the two, he is willing to authorize Duan to be with Duan.
Ye, how dare Duan Ye die without success? Therefore...hehehe, Duan is the solemn representation of this negotiation. Mr. Meng, we have to get closer."
Meng Kai slapped his lips and finally resisted the urge to leave. Lu Guang is so bullying! My dignified Mr. Meng is here, you will just go to me if you don’t sacrifice to the three animals and bathe. Why do you think you are all
Not showing up? Send such a person to deal with it?
But the situation is better than others. If you don’t talk about it, just fight. It’s very simple. Meng Kai wants a real man to bend and stretch. In order to have a chance to show his talents, he has to endure these things first. Therefore, Meng Kai squeezed out a smile.
Come and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Since Duan Chanjun can make the decision, it will naturally happen."
"Mr. Meng is indeed a pleasure." Duan Ye smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's have a good talk. Speaking of which, we have carefully studied your document just now. You have put forward eighteen requirements in total.
Is it right?"
"Uh, yes." Meng Kai was a little puzzled.
"That's good, negotiation, negotiation, of course, we have to negotiate. Since Mr. Meng can also make the decision, Duan is not polite. Come, take a look first. We have proposed a total of 17 amendments, and then there are nine more.
Mr. Meng can study the 24 small gifts of the rich man, Mr. Meng."
After saying that, Duan Ye took out two inches of paper and Meng Kai was stunned at that time.
"This...this..." Meng Kai's face twitched for a long time before he could say smooth words, "You... why did you still have so many harsh terms? How can you talk about this!" Meng Kai only looked at it.
After a few lines, I felt a little dizzy and threw Tiao Chen on the table angrily.
"Hey, Mr. Meng, it's wrong for you to do this." Duan Ye still smiled and had a very good attitude, "The negotiations are like doing business. You can ask for a price everywhere, and I can naturally pay back the money, right?
It’s not true, business is unsuccessful, why are you anxious? Ah?"
After saying that, Duan Ye returned the paper match to Meng Kai, "Mr. Meng, it's not easy for you to come once. You carry the hope of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians and shoulder the trust of the four counties.
It can't be done in vain."
This sentence touched Meng Kai. After finally getting this opportunity, could it be that I could go back in shame?
Although Meng Kai has the reputation of a famous scholar, what he lacks is opportunity, because there has been no war in Liangzhou before, and he does not need to learn the erratic and conspiracy like this. Although he has visited officials from all over the country many times, he has also achieved considerable results.
Fame and even got a lot of money, but this is Meng Kai's ambition?
In the past, Su Qin embraced the six kingdoms and Zhang Yi defeated the six kingdoms and united the alliance. His reputation was not only the highest at that time, but his reputation was also spread throughout the years! However, when Su Qin was in a downturn, his wife ignored the loom, and his sister-in-law refused to recognize him as his uncle, and Zhang Yi did not.
Before he developed, he was beaten by Zhaoyang and almost died. They endured such setbacks. What is the matter they faced?
After understanding this layer, Meng Kai took it with her calmness and said seriously: "Meng Kai just fucked her. Since you have put forward so many statements, it means that you are still sincere enough, let's have a good talk."
...
"There is absolutely no room for negotiation! Wulan County must exempt three years of taxes." Meng Kai said loudly with his neck tugging.
"Three years? Do you know how much tax is for three years? It is an exception to allow one year to be exempted from the holiday. Wulan County is already rich, and according to Duan's knowledge, the tax paid accounts for a large proportion of Zhangye County.
It shouldn't be exempted." Duan Ye said slowly.
"When was that old calendar? Now Wulan County has been suffering from disasters for years, and the people are already suffering. You have to collect taxes. This is to force the people to die!" Meng Kai looked righteous.
"Don't exaggerate. As a commoner, it is natural to pay taxes. Whoever dares not pay is a rebellion! We have soldiers!" Duan Yeyin said.
"You have soldiers! But you can't stop the anger of 13,000 people in Wulan County!" Meng Kai also refused to give in.
The two of them verbally and cited the classics. Meng Kai still had a few tricks. He was really memorized by the specific situation of these counties, including military, horses, money, grain, gentry, and passes everywhere, and often brings out the saints' education to suppress people.
From time to time, the whole nation is threatening to fight to the end, and it looks aggressive.
Although Duan Ye was not prepared enough because of the tight time, Duan Ye’s purpose was not to beat him in debates. In addition, Duan Ye has read a lot of debates in his later generations, and the skills of debate, especially sophistry, are simply a trivial one.
It is more than enough to deal with Meng Kai.
The two of them quarreled for a long time, and their mouths were dry. In the end, Duan Ye finally made a helpless statement and reluctantly gave in, so the clause was passed.
"Li County is absolutely not allowed to garrison troops!" Duan Ye said while waving his fists, "The matter of principle cannot be compromised!"
"This is also our bottom line. If Mr. Duan doesn't give in, it may not work!"
“What if I stick with it?”
"It's useless for you to persevere!" Meng Kai seemed to have some food and took a sip of water proudly to relieve the dry mouth.
"Then there is no need to talk about it!" Duan Ye stood up angrily and strode out.
Meng Kai was stupid. He showed his power just now and was proud, forcing Duan Ye to make concessions on two issues, making Meng Kai feel refreshed and never felt so accomplished in his life, but now Duan Ye will leave.
But it means that the negotiations have broken down. Isn’t it just in vain to spend so much effort?
This is not possible! Meng Kai hurriedly grabbed Duan Ye and said, "Duan Jun, Duan Jun, please say something well. We still have something to talk about, and there is something to talk about."
Duan Ye had been waiting for a long time, fearing that Meng Kai would not be able to leave, but it would be a big deal. Fortunately, this kid was still sensible, so Duan Ye just pretended to sit down reluctantly.
"Hahaha," Meng Kai laughed a few times, "Look, this was originally an army, and we couldn't let them die, right? Now that we have returned to the country, they are all local people, and they don't want to leave their hometowns anymore. Many people
I am not young anymore. Anyway, there are only 3,000 people in total. Why not just stay here and help you to crush the ground and maintain public order. What a great thing."
"No!" Duan Ye made a decisive move.
"Okay, okay, 1,500 people, can you?" Meng Kai made a little concession, "Let's leave 1,500 people, and do not break them up, and be controlled by the original commander and brigade commander. Of course, you can also send a military supervisor to be responsible for the defense here.
,OK?"
"Not even one person!" Duan Ye said firmly: "If Mr. Meng is entangled on this issue again, then there is no need for us to continue talking. Come and see off the guests!"
"Oh~~~" Meng Kai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, this one is up to you, okay?"
"Take it seriously?" Duan Ye raised his eyebrows.
"A gentleman's words!" Meng Kaizheng pointed his head.
"Okay." Duan Ye finally smiled, "Then let's go to the next one."
"It should have been like this long ago." Meng Kai also smiled. Both of them got what they wanted in this round of confrontation, so they were very happy.
The two of them were like this, and they were very particular about every detail. They had to pull the little bit of trivial matters for a long time, and they were exhausted by sitting on the chair and drinking tea. This was originally something Duan Ye had planned.
Therefore, there is no other feeling. But for Meng Kai, he feels unprecedented pleasure!
You should know that I am just a scholar, without soldiers, no money or food. With this mouth, I have already won so much benefits for the people of Zhangye at this negotiating table? How much benefits? How many lives have I saved? This is a great merit!
Besides, facing the insidious Duan Ye in front of him, although he has no experience in political operations, he is not at all inferior in verbal battles, and he often forces him to make concessions! What does this mean? This means that he is still very
Have political talent!
If we continue to talk like this, Meng Kai believes that he will definitely bring back an end result that will satisfy everyone.
After all, there were so many things like negotiations that started, and Meng Kai didn't expect that the conditions he started could be accepted unconditionally. In that case, Lu Guang would not have been able to make trouble to this point today. In this way, he would instantly become the whole person.
The hero of Zhangye will have a louder name, and countless people will be proud of themselves. At that time, are you still afraid that there will be no wise ruler to visit the cottage three times?
