After Wang Cezhi put forward a lot of conditions, the prince Shendu also raised some objections.
Although they were defeated, they were indeed the meat and potatoes on someone else's chopping board, but there were some conditions that they really couldn't come up with.
For example, in the first article, one million taels of gold, five million catties of spices and ten million stones of grain should be paid to Tianyun Kingdom every year.
After doubling, it would be two million taels of gold, ten million catties of spices, and twenty million stones of grain.
Both spices and grains are easy to talk about. The biggest problem is to expand the planting area of spices. Originally, Xie Xie was a daily edible ingredient in Shendu Country, and it had a large planting base.
As for food, they could still get it out of the body poison that was harvested three times a year, even if two subas had been taken away by Tianyun Kingdom.
But it was the two million taels of gold that really made things difficult for them.
After the eldest prince explained it, Wang Cezhi realized that although Shendu liked to use gold as decoration, Shendu was not rich in gold. The existing gold was accumulated over the past generations for who knows how long.
It is simply impossible to give Tianyun Kingdom as much as two million taels every year.
Shendu Country doesn't have that much gold at all, so the eldest prince hopes to exchange it for another kind of material.
Wang Cezhi nodded clearly. He really didn't know that Shendu was not rich in gold. Originally, when he saw so many gold decorations in the Shendu Palace, and the nobles also carried so many gold ornaments, he thought that Shendu was not rich in gold. There's a shortage of gold.
I didn’t expect that they were all inherited from ancestors. There were only so many passed down from generation to generation, and there were no more.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Cezhi took the initiative and asked, "Do you have any supplies here that can replace gold?"
After the eldest prince thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"have!
Our Shendu has a kind of horse called the Uso horse, which is extremely suitable for cavalry, especially heavy cavalry. It is a special war horse unique to our Shendu!
Every Uso horse is worth thousands of gold!
Even though I had accumulated all the poison in my body over the years, I only managed to accumulate 40,000 pieces of poison, but it was all gone in one day! "
The eldest prince's face darkened.
Wang Cezhi's face immediately darkened when he heard this.
"Lord Shendu, are you playing tricks on foreign ministers?
Since all the Uso horses have been dispersed in one day, how can they compensate me, Tianyun, for one million gold? "
Wang Cezhi's question immediately made Prince Shendu panic, and he quickly explained:
"Messenger, please listen to Xiao Wang's explanation. Although the adult Usoma has been lost in the war.
But with the training over the years, our royal family has also begun to train these Uso horses on a large scale. Now there are 10,000 juvenile horses that have not been slaughtered, and the remaining young horses and pregnant mares are also about 10,000.
In just one year, these 10,000 juvenile horses will be ready for the slaughter. Moreover, the royal family already has a large-scale horse breeding farm. In the future, 10,000 Uso horses will be produced for the slaughter every year. If the envoy agrees to use these Uso horses as If gold can be used as a deduction, I am willing to pay tribute to King Yun with 2,000 Uso horses every year as a deduction for the two million gold! "
Wang Cezhi thought for a while, then turned around and asked Jiang Tiandao in a low voice in Song dialect: "Counsel Jiang, do you know how to watch horses?"
Jiang Tian immediately nodded slightly and replied in a low voice in Song dialect: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I was once a soldier under Deputy Commander Guan and a member of the cavalry, so he naturally knows about war horses."
Wang Cezhi suddenly showed joy, and then said: "Then wait and see if that Usoma is worth so much gold!"
Jiang Tian immediately smiled and said: "I'll cover it!" He made a promise.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Wang Cezhi immediately raised his head and said to the eldest prince: "Please also ask the eldest prince to bring a Uso horse. Let me wait and see if this horse is worth the price!"
Wang Cezhi's words were very straightforward, with no intention of covering up or stepping down for the eldest prince. His attitude was extremely arrogant!
The eldest prince looked at the main hall and asked subconsciously: "Here?"
Wang Cezhi nodded affirmatively: "It's right here!"
The eldest prince was silent, and finally agreed with gritted teeth.
"Ambassador wait!"
After a few casual remarks, the eldest prince slowly walked out of the hall by arranging the war horses.
After leading a group of attendants to a place out of sight of the main hall and far away from the main hall of the palace, the poisonous prince finally couldn't bear it any longer!
Roared loudly!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and started slashing and slashing at the tree in front of him, venting his anger!
After a long time, the eldest prince gradually calmed down. While letting the waiters arrange his clothes, he also began to adjust his facial expression at the same time.
Although angry, I feel extremely insulted!
However, others are stronger than you and you are weaker than others. This is reality!
The weak must accept the orders of the strong!
Even if you are angry, you can only find a place to vent!
Don't dare to do anything drastic.
"Is your stuff ready?"
When everything was ready, the eldest prince asked.
Immediately a waiter replied: "It's ready. I think it's almost time to deliver it."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he immediately saw an Uso horse with inward arc-shaped ears being led over by a horseman.
The eldest prince nodded and walked towards the palace.
After walking out of the corner, the eldest prince calmly ordered to the palace guard on duty as he walked: "Except for the stable boy and the horse, all the waiters will be executed!"
Although the guards didn't understand why they were doing this, they didn't need to understand, they just carried out the order.
Without hesitation, the captain of the guard immediately called out a team of people after a salute. Just as the waiters following the eldest prince walked out behind the eldest prince, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of palace guards.
Not long after, everything became quiet again, leaving only a shivering stable boy who didn't understand what was going on, leading Usoma and following the eldest prince back to the hall.
After the eldest prince came back, he asked the stable boy to bring the horse to Wang Ce and the two of them. Then he sat back on the throne with an expressionless face and waited quietly for them to see the horse.
Seeing the war horse coming, Wang Cezhi immediately pulled Jiang Tian to the horse. Seeing this pure brown Uso horse, Jiang Tian's eyes lit up!
He immediately started walking around to observe, touching and touching at the same time.
He either touched the horse's back or legs, touched the calves and thighs, and finally moved it to look at the horse's head, opened the horse's mouth to look at the teeth, and then said to Wang Ce:
“We have to let this horse run two laps. The rest of the horse looks good and he is a good horse.
But his body is too perfect, which is a bit of a problem. With such a body shape, the leg bones should not be so coordinated.
But I can't say for sure. The horse's movements were very coordinated when he came in just now, but I still have to give it a try! "
Wang Cezhi nodded, turned around and asked the eldest prince to try the horse.
The eldest prince asked expressionlessly: "Want to test the horse in the palace?"
Wang Cezhi shook his head this time: "Just outside the palace."
The eldest prince's expression softened a lot, and he nodded and had Jiang Tian and Usoma taken out.
Not long after, Jiang Tian came back with a little surprise on his face. He leaned next to Wang Cezhi and whispered:
"It's a good horse! One is worth a thousand gold!"
If it were placed in the Song Dynasty, even two thousand gold would be wanted! "
Wang Cezhi's eyes suddenly lit up!
There was greed in his eyes as he looked at the eldest prince.
After coughing lightly, Wang Cezhi suddenly said to the eldest prince with a straight face: "The horse is not bad, it can be used for gold, but a thousand gold is the price of poison on your body.
You only have the Uso horse, so it is expensive, but in our Tianyun Kingdom, there are many other war horses, so..."
"so?"
The eldest prince asked rhetorically.
Wang Cezhi replied: "So this horse cannot be worth a thousand gold, and at most one horse is worth two hundred and fifty gold. In other words, Shendu needs to provide Tianyun Kingdom with 8,000 Uso horses every year!"
"Don't be too greedy!"
The eldest prince stood up suddenly and looked at Wang Cezhi angrily.
He finally couldn't hold back his anger.
Only 10,000 horses are produced in the stable a year, and 8,000 are taken away. So he only has more than 2,000 horses left. What can he do?
But Wang Cezhi's words suddenly turned things around.
"Of course, this horse should be really good, so I, Tianyun Kingdom, can do you a small favor. Lord, you can ask it. If it is not embarrassing, I, Tianyun, can also agree."
"help?"
The angry eldest prince suddenly calmed down and immediately thought of the thorn that was blocking him!
If someone from Tianyun helps, I might be able to deal with him!
