Fang Zheng looked at Mo Jilian and blinked: "Are you sure you don't want me to use an analogy? This analogy is very appropriate."
Mo Jilian shook his head resolutely: "Master Fang, just say it straight, I can understand."
Fang Zheng curled his lips: "You Turks often say something is like the sun in the sky, something is like an eagle, and so on. You use a metaphor to describe flying all over the sky. Why can't it be used here? I'm really at a disadvantage negotiating with you...
…”
Mo Jilian almost vomited blood when he heard this. If you still suffer a loss, wouldn't I have to wipe my neck with a knife?
Fang Zheng continued: "Master Imperial Advisor, you have offered me three million taels of silver to invite me to send troops to the Hua Dynasty. With all due respect, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate. Even if I help you kill the Mochu Khan, you will still come back when you look back.
If you attack Hua Dynasty again, won't you snatch this silver again? Besides, does Hua Dynasty need military expenses for sending troops? Three million taels, one hundred thousand soldiers, each can only get thirty taels of silver, horses,
Weapons, military pay, medicine, pensions for those killed in battle, support for orphans... Sir, have you calculated this account? Do you think three million taels is enough? Let me, Hua Chao, help you finish this battle.
If we don’t get any benefits, we have to pay for it ourselves, which even a fool wouldn’t do.”
Mo Jilian's eyes were straight and his mouth was full of bitterness. He did not expect that the four conditions he proposed after studying and discussing with the Turkic officials all night in the post house would be rejected by the man in front of him who was less than twenty years old.
The young man overturned them all in just a few words. And from his tone, these four conditions seemed worthless, which made Mojilian feel deeply frustrated.
Licking his dry lips, Mo Jilian said: "Master Fang, I think it is better to ask your country to put forward conditions. Otherwise, if this continues, if I propose one and you deny another, our negotiations will reach a deadlock."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Master Imperial Master, please think carefully. If I put forward conditions, it will be a one-and-done sale. No counter-offering will be tolerated."
Mo Jilian gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang, please tell me. You can bring it up and we can discuss it later."
Fang Zheng glanced at Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao. Old Wei closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was in meditation like an old monk. Feng Qiudao was expressionless, with a cool face, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. He didn't know whether he was in a daze or in a daze.
Thinking about something.
These two people were too inattentive in their negotiations. They used themselves as decorations and didn't know how to talk to this young master. Fang Zheng muttered dissatisfied.
Fang Zheng put on a smile and said to Moji: "Master Imperial Master, our Hua Dynasty is not willing to form alliances with others. We want to live our own lives well. Who would like to fight if they have nothing to do? It's bleeding again?
It’s a deadly battle. I don’t know how many people will be killed after a battle. Especially if we go to help a country that often invades us to fight, it would be even more unreliable. Therefore, we will never agree to send troops.
, you can give up this idea."
Seeing that Mo Jilian looked angry and wanted to speak, Fang Zheng stopped his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although our country is unwilling to send troops, we can still provide you with other help."
, Is there a shortage of food? Is there a shortage of weapons? Is there a shortage of ordnance? Is there a shortage of fodder? Tell me, we can give you whatever you want. You Turkic people are so rich, how good it would be to exchange money for the things you need.
Everyone is happy."
Mojilian couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "Master Fang, I have traveled thousands of miles to come to your country and sincerely form an alliance with your country. How can you tease me like this? Your country is unwilling to send troops, and there is no sense in this negotiation at all.
Meaning, huh! It seems that my trip was in vain. Say goodbye!"
After saying this, Mojilian bowed his hands towards Fang Zheng, turned around and led the officials of the Turkic mission out.
Fang Zheng was stunned, stood up, waved to Mo Jilian's back, and shouted: "Slow down, welcome to China as a guest next time, I invite you to take a sauna in the Qinhuai River..."
After a while, Mo Jilian ran back angrily, glared at Fang Zheng and said: "This is the residence provided by your emperor to my Turkic envoy. Is it you who should say goodbye?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Even Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao on the side had smiles on their faces.
Fang Zheng laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe. He laughed and said: "Master Imperial Master, you are really... Well, that's why you can't be angry. When you are angry, your mind will be confused. Come on, Master Wei, General Feng,
It’s time for us to say goodbye. Let’s go and talk to Datata.”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked out and muttered: "Datata should be happy to do this business with me. In a few months, winter will come on the grassland. Alas, the soldiers have no food and the horses have no grass. In the war,
Let’s have a bird fight…”
"Wait a minute! Lord Fang, please stay!" The voice of Moji Company came from behind.
A hint of a successful evil smile flashed across Fang Zheng's face, and then he turned back with a straight face and said seriously: "Is there anything else, Master Imperial Master?"
Mojilian looked hesitant, and the look in his eyes was changing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fang, I was too impulsive just now. I apologize to you."
Fang Zheng smiled politely at him: "Don't say that. We are all so familiar with each other. I don't take it to heart about a few words. Is everything okay? I'm leaving now."
Mojilian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Fang Zheng, forcing himself to smile: "Master Fang, I think we should sit down and continue talking."
Fang Zheng widened his eyes in surprise and said: "Didn't you say that negotiation is meaningless? What's the point of talking about if it's meaningless? Don't worry, when we Huachao people talk about business, it's all between you and me. If you don't want to, there will be others who are willing. Haha,
I don’t force it.”
A flash of anger flashed in Mo Jilian's eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "I thought about it carefully just now and feel that the conditions you proposed are not unacceptable, Mr. Fang. We should sit down and discuss this matter in detail. Fang
What do you think, sir?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Then, Master National Preceptor, you should pay attention to your attitude. You must know that things are different now. It is no longer the time for you Turks to have the final say. Don't be so petty and turn around and leave.
Do you find it interesting that you are a great Turkic national master, but you act like a little girl and lose your temper?"
When Mo Jilian heard this, he was so angry that he almost exploded. He was acting petty, acting coquettishly, and losing his temper. Couldn't this bastard say something nice?
As soon as the negotiations resumed, Fang Zheng stopped being polite and directly put forward his own conditions.
"First, pay for it!" When Fang Zheng said the first condition, the expression on his face was vicious, like a bandit leader extorting ransom.
Moji was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "How much is the compensation?"
Fang Zheng raised his finger at him: "Ten million taels!"
Mojilian was furious again: "Why don't you go and grab it? Where can I, the Turks, get so much money?"
Fang Zheng said leisurely: "I also know that ten million taels is not a small amount. You Turks can't afford such money. But you can get something if you put in the effort. Just imagine, when winter comes in the grassland, everything will be destroyed and no one will be left."
If you have no food and no grass for your horses, what can you use to fight the Mochu Khan? But if you have the food, fodder, and weapons provided by me, the Hua Dynasty, your soldiers and horses will be full of food and drink, and they will hold their swords high and sharp.
With his weapons, he entered the royal tent of Mochu Khan. Haha, Sir, it would be easy to defeat Mochu Khan. Ten million taels of silver can help you get rid of the serious troubles in your heart. It is really a great deal.
Where can I find such a beautiful thing? If I were you, I would have been enjoying myself secretly."
Mojilian frowned and said, "The conditions you set are too high. We Turks can't afford it."
Fang Zheng was unmoved at all: "If I don't have money, I can use your good horses, cattle, sheep, and leather goods instead. If it doesn't work, why don't you think of other ways? You're stupid!"
Moji said angrily: "What else can I do? You are just like a group of blood-sucking locusts!"
Fang Zheng pointed his hand to the north with a smile, and said: "You can go and rob others. This is your old profession anyway, but don't come to rob our Hua Dynasty, otherwise we will turn around and follow Da
Tata has formed an alliance."
Mo Jilian was so angry that he blurted out: "Besides robbing you, who else can we Turks robbing?"
Fang Zheng was not happy when he heard this: "Why do you Turks use our Hua Dynasty as an ATM? When you are short of money, you come here to get some, and our Hua Dynasty provokes you? Why don't you look further ahead?
What's the point? You have many neighboring countries, too. Aren't Uighur, Dashi, and Tiele all ideal targets for robbery? Why are you always staring at our Hua Dynasty?"
The dignified negotiator of a country actually incited Mo Jilian to commit robbery in order to make money. He even kindly provided the object of robbery. I have to admit that this person is simply a despicable and evil combination. Mo Jilian gritted his teeth.
Staring at Fang Zheng, I wished I could cut him into two pieces with one knife.
"Those countries have neither money nor food. What's the use of robbing?" Even though he was angry, Mojilian had to continue talking to him.
Fang Zheng became more energetic when he mentioned robbing money. Hearing this, he stood up and said excitedly: "You are stupid, lead the troops to fight. I tell you, those countries must have no money in their treasury, but the rich people among the people
Yes, haven't you heard of the saying that wealth is hidden among the people? You go and rob them all, then give me the money, I will give you the food, fodder, and weapons you need, and then you continue to rob... Such a virtuous cycle
, we can achieve a win-win situation, good for you and good for me..."
Moji's eyes widened when he heard this, and he smacked his lips. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. Aren't he talking about forming an alliance with Hua Chao now? Why did he feel like he was talking about robbery and sharing dirt with a bandit leader?
Even Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao who were sitting aside couldn't help but frowned. Mr. Fang incited the Turks to rob other neighboring countries. This matter must be spread. The Chinese Dynasty has been adhering to the good policy of benevolence and courtesy among all nations for hundreds of years.
Wasn't his reputation completely destroyed by him alone?
Wei Chengde coughed and interjected: "Master Fang, this... what you just mentioned... robbing, robbing..." The old man had read books about sages all his life and seemed to be unfamiliar with the word robbery.
"Robbery." Fang Zheng kindly said it for him, "What's the matter?"
"Ahem, yes, robbing... robbing, this... seems inappropriate?" Regardless of the fact that the Turkic envoy was nearby, Wei Chengde felt that if he didn't stop this inconspicuous Mr. Fang, he didn't know what the outcome of this negotiation would be.
Look.
Fang Zheng stared and said, "What's wrong? It's not like we're going to rob it ourselves."
As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled kindly at Mo Jilian, winked and said: "Our friendly Turkic Congress helped us rob it, right?"
