Er Mao became the peacemaker in the entire negotiation today, trying his best to pour cold water on the shells that were about to explode to cool down!
"If the Qing Dynasty has any demands, you can make them. If you don't have them yet, you can consider them..."
"The Chinese didn't say anything about killing you and not allowing you to counter-offer, right?"
"Business, business, harmony brings wealth!"
Yi Xin roared with a livid face, "The land of the Qing Dynasty is not a business that can be bought and sold. Don't think that I haven't read Western books. Sovereignty can never be used for business!"
"Ouch... even the sovereign can't do business? I really don't know why Kowloon in Hong Kong is gone, and how the concession on the beach in Shanghai is lost!" Cai Bixia said sarcastically.
"You..." Yi Xin's chest heaved violently, "You... have the guts to let Xiao Letian lead his troops to get it! At worst, they will be separated in two and we will all stare!"
Cai Bixia waved her hand with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to blow your beard and glare at me. Whether the head of state attacks the Qing Dynasty or not, that's not something I, a woman, can have the final say on!"
"But I leave my words here. You alone cannot have the final say in the affairs of the Qing Dynasty! If you don't rent land to others, there are plenty of people who will rent it to others!"
"There are not many people in the world who want to make money? Do you think..." Cai Bixia actually winked at Prince Qing while speaking.
"Hey...hey...what are you looking at me for? Me, me, me...I don't like doing business. The salary from the court is enough for me..."
This room is full of shame. Yi Kuang's reputation for being greedy and lustful has long been known to everyone. He resells a lot of industrial products from the Northern Special Zone to Gansu and Shaanxi.
Yikuang's identity is not only the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he is also a top-ranked dealer in the Northern Special Zone, but he is named after his slave.
Cai Bixia rudely tore off the hypocrisy of these Eight Banners nobles. You said you don't do business? In fact, you are the most traitorous people, and you can cooperate even with ghosts for money!
Er Mao knew that today's negotiation had completely collapsed and could not continue any longer. He stretched out his hand to stop both parties, "Okay, okay...it's just business. Whether the negotiation is successful or not, we are all the ones doing the work!"
"General Cai also has to listen to the head of state, and the head of state's decision must be approved by the Great Council!"
"Of course Prince Gong can make the decision, but such a big decision has to be approved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, right?"
"Today, both parties have left their intentions behind. They will consider and discuss slowly. Why do you have to say everything so harshly? It will be difficult to see each other again in the future if you are so ruthless!"
Er Mao set up a step, and Yi Xin knew he couldn't continue the argument and snorted, "I don't know how to be as knowledgeable as a woman!"
"Oh... Your Majesty is so generous. The little lady thanks you here! Now that I have said all that needs to be said, I will leave the information here for you to read slowly. I will take my leave!"
After getting down to business, Cai Bixia didn't have time to waste time with these people, so he stood up and left with a sarcastic comment!
Unexpectedly, the shameless Yi Kuang stood up at this time, "Hey, hey, hey...Mr. Cai, stay back, stay back! You are the special envoy of the head of state, and we also invited you here in the next post!"
"The banquet has been prepared. If you leave like this, it seems that our Qing Kingdom is really lacking in etiquette!"
"You can't leave, stay here, stay... We've finished talking about business, how about we talk about some personal matters?"
Cai Bixia was scolding her in her mind. Just because you have a swollen nose and swollen eyes, you still want to attract my attention. Why don't you urinate and look at yourself!
"I appreciate Prince Qing's kindness! It seems that we don't have anything private to talk about, right?"
"Mr. Cai is out of touch now. The deal is not a deal! What's more, I heard that when he was in Beiyuan, he even sold naval battleships to the Queen Mother!"
"Isn't this a bigger business? How about you talk to us about this navy? If it's really that good, we can help the court... maybe you can sell a few more warships!"
With a puff, Cai Bixia was so angry that she laughed, "Prince Qing... Just these nine airships, a business of five to six million, the Qing Dynasty is too stingy to bear to spend it, you still want to buy a warship?"
"Even if His Majesty's master-disciple friendship price is 2 million taels per ship, this is just a ship, not counting the cost of crew training, cannonballs, etc.!"
"The coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty is so large. Without dozens of warships, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be enough to defend itself. This is a big business with an investment of tens of millions. Can you make the decision?"
Prince Qing Yikuang shrank his neck after hearing this, "Ahem... I don't care whether I do this or not. It's good to listen to it! Although I don't have much power as a prince, I still have a certain amount of face in the court!"
"Manager Ermao also said just now that this big deal was concluded without a single stroke. It has to be done slowly! If you don't explain it to us in detail, how can we make a decision..."
"How are the food and drinks in the side hall prepared?"
The eunuch outside quickly kowtowed and replied, "Prince Qi, we have already prepared it!"
"Mr. Cai, please come first... We will also entertain you today according to Western etiquette. We will not talk about the old Manchu rules. Please come to the table..."
The majestic prince of the Qing Dynasty actually led a woman to the table to have wine, and he didn't care at all about the rules of separate tables for men and women!
Yixin and Yixuan didn't want to stay any longer, but they didn't expect that Yikuang raised the big topic of the navy, and the two princes became interested.
The two of them suppressed their anger and followed into the West Side Hall to the west of Yin'an Hall. The steaming earth dragon was burning, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of vegetables and flowers!
"Mr. Cai, you are a guest...please take a seat!"
ah? Guiziliu almost lost his breath. He was supposed to be in the upper hand position. Yikuang didn't know why he was so crazy today, but he actually led the woman to the main seat facing the gate!
What's even more unexpected is that Cai Bixia actually sat down carelessly, and the whole room was in an uproar at this scene!
The uproar in front of Yin'an Palace was only small-scale, and the women in the back house of Prince Qing's Mansion were in even more uproar. Several Fujins, the female officials and maids they brought with them, and a whole bunch of other people were all about to faint with anger!
Of course, the group of women is dominated by Guiziliu's Fujin Guarjia family. This daughter-in-law personally selected by Emperor Daoguang has a noble status and a bad temper, otherwise she would not have spoiled her son like that.
The group of them had just been waiting in the back house for a long time, neither coming nor coming. In the end, the little eunuch came to deliver a message, saying that Cai Bixia did not come to the back house, but went directly to Yin'an. I went to interview the man!
"No rules! What a wild woman with no rules!"
"Send two nuns to the front to take a look... to see what this wild woman looks like? To see if she is a coquettish, shameless thing!"
