Chapter 111 Negotiations on Shanhaiguan

"Allow trade!"

Niu Jinxing smiled slightly, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Niu Jinxing in front of him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

At this time Niu Jinxing continued.

"We just need to allow grain transactions with Shanhaiguan so that they can use money to buy our grain, and then this matter can be solved!"

"So simple??"

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said.

"Of course! We can make concessions on the price of food! We don't need to give a high price. We only need to sell it to Wu Sangui for 70% or even 50%. In this way, we will not only preserve your property, King Chuang

Face, and then the Ming Prince also felt the benefits!"

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng in front of him with a smile on his face and said.

There was a hint of hesitation in Li Zicheng's eyes, and he looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said, "However, our food may also have problems. In this case, what should we do?"

Seeing the hesitation in Li Zicheng's eyes, Niu Jinxing smiled slightly, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "King Chuang, don't be impatient. It is the summer harvest season now. We just need to collect more taxes from those big households. Our grain

It is absolutely enough!

This year’s drought is not as dry as in previous years, and it looks like we can have a good harvest!”

Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng in front of him.

Hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng nodded slightly.

"Okay! Let's talk according to what you said! Then what is our bottom line??"

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment.

"Let's calculate it based on 30% of the market price! If the Ming Prince is not willing to pay such a small amount of money! I would rather have a chance with the Manchu army!"

Li Zicheng's face looked slightly ugly.

Although he sounded so tough on the surface, Li Zicheng was still a little uneasy in his heart.

He clearly knew how powerful the Manchu and Qing cavalry were, and it was just a matter of words. Li Zicheng did not want his brothers to have a head-on confrontation with the Manchu and Qing soldiers on the ground!

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Of course, Niu Jinxing also knew what his king was thinking. With a smile on his face, he bowed slightly towards Niu Jinxing in front of him and spoke respectfully.

"Yeah! Let's make arrangements!"

After saying that, Niu Jinxing slowly left Li Zicheng.

Looking at Niu Jinxing's back, an inexplicable emotion flashed through Li Zicheng's heart.

Song's military advisor has left, and so has Li Yan.

They are all scholars, and they are all very capable people. Why have they all left?

One disappeared and the other took refuge with the prince.

Do they really not think much of themselves?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng felt slightly irritable.

"Come here, go to Kunning Palace!"

Li Zicheng said angrily to the eunuch next to him.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Soon, the sedan next to him carried Li Zicheng and walked towards Kunning Palace.

The daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing currently lives in Kunning Palace. She is really beautiful, so Li Zicheng couldn't help but made her a noble and brought her into the palace.

Now is the time for the daughter of this family to be favored.

Niu Jinxing left the main hall and quickly told the messengers to pass the news to Qingzhou Mansion.

The next day, the news came to Li Chuang.

"food??"

Li Chuang's face was slightly stunned, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and he looked at the ordering soldier in front of him and asked.

"Are you sure you're right?"

"Yes, this is what Niu Xiangguo told me personally when I came here!"

After hearing what the messenger said, Li Chuang pondered for a moment.

"Okay! Go down and rest!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chuang came to the door and said to the two soldiers guarding the door: "We want to see the crown prince! Re-negotiate!"

The soldiers looked at each other.

"Hold on!"

Soon, the intruders saw Zhu Cihong in the main hall.

Zhu Cixiang took a sip of tea, looked at the intruders in front of him with a faint smile and said slowly, "What? Does Li Zicheng have any new ideas?"

"Our king has said it! It is impossible to share the money and food equally with you! We will not use Dashun's money and food to help you raise troops for the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Chuangyi spoke eloquently to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.

"Then what are we talking about?"

Zhu Cixiang looked calm, looked at Li Chuang in front of him calmly, and slowly picked up the teacup beside him.

"You should come with me!"

A eunuch next to him understood and said to Li Chuang in front of him.

"Wait a moment!"

At this time, Li Chuang in front of him quickly said to Cheng Hao in front of him: "Although our king said that we will not share the money and food equally, he proposed another solution!"

"Tell me."

Zhu Cixi put down the teacup, looked at Li Chuang in front of him calmly and said.

At this time, Li Chuang's expression changed for a while, then he hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "The grain we sell to Shanhaiguan can be as cheap as 80% of the market price!"

"not enough!"

Zhu Cixi said calmly.

"One percent!"

"impossible!"

Li Chuang directly rejected Zhu Cixiang's words.

"What's the difference between a 10% price and a free gift? This is impossible!"

Zhu Cixiang did not speak, but looked calmly at Li Chuang in front of him.

After Li Chuang's expression changed for a while, he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and gritted his teeth.

"Fifty percent! This is the lowest!"

Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Li Chuang in front of him, his expression not changing at all.

Zhu Cixiang's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate deep into people's hearts, making Li Chuang feel a little scared. For some reason, he always felt uncomfortable and scared when being looked at by the Ming prince in front of him.

"Thirty percent! This is already the bottom line given to me by King Chuang! King Chuang said that if it is lower than this number, then let's fight!"

Li Chuang looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a wry smile and said.

Zhu Cixi's expression remained unchanged.

"Thirty percent is fine, let's go with the current market price! Half a tael of silver and a stone of rice."

"this price……"

Li Chuang had a hesitant look on his face.

"If you agree, do it. If you don't agree, I will recall Wu Sangui and ask him to open Shanhaiguan. Do whatever you like!"

Zhu Cixiang said expressionlessly to Li Chuang in front of him.

"Okay! That's the price!"

After Li Chuang's expression changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

The two parties probably signed a memorandum, but no matter which angle you look at it, Ming Dynasty took a big advantage!

Because Zhu Cixiang didn’t want to recall Wu Sangui either!

I don’t even want to see Shanhaiguan fall!

Li Zicheng just happened to come to his door now and took the initiative to talk to me about Shanhaiguan. Of course it was a good thing!
