Li Ke waved his hand, indicating that he would not be polite. After he stood up straight, Li Ke said directly: "Just in time, if you don't come, general, I will send someone to Qunu City. Should your Harsha Dynasty pay our expenses for suppressing bandits?"
"What's the fee?" Ashunluo was stunned by Li Ke's words and couldn't react for a moment.
"The cost of destroying bandits, the cost of destroying pirates." Li Ke knocked on the table and repeated it.
"Um? Your Highness, I don't quite understand." The people of Ashunluo were all dumbfounded. It's true that Tang Dynasty killed the pirates, but didn't you also occupy the land? Why do you still need to charge us?
"I don't understand? Did those pirates kill people from your Harsha Dynasty?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"yes."
"Then are they your enemies?"
"yes."
"Are you unable to deal with these pirates in a short time? If you had, you would have destroyed them long ago."
"yes……"
"So, I helped you eliminate these pirates, shouldn't you pay a fee?"
"Yes...ah, no, your highness, haven't you already occupied this land? Didn't you say that this is the land of the Tang Dynasty?" Ashunluo almost subconsciously agreed. After he recovered, he hurriedly raised his head to look. Li Ke said.
"Is this a conflict?" Li Ke looked at him.
"No... no... no conflict?" Ashun Luo whispered tentatively.
"Did our Tang Dynasty conquer this land from your Harsha Dynasty?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"No." Ashunluo wanted to say yes...but considering that he would need Datang's goods in the future, he held back.
"Isn't that enough? We took the land from the hands of pirates and have nothing to do with your Harsha Dynasty. I am right, right? But the pirates I destroyed are the enemies of your Harsha Dynasty, right? ?In fact, I could not have wiped out those pirates at all, just drove them to the territory of your Harsha Dynasty, and let them continue to attack you, and then we would follow behind. We, the Tang Dynasty, could occupy more land. , but I didn’t do that, right?" Li Ke looked at him seriously and asked.
Ashunluo: "..."
It seems that there is nothing wrong with what he said. If people did this, the Harsha Dynasty would not be able to say anything wrong. Thinking about it this way, His Highness King Qin seems to be quite reasonable?
"But, after all, this was the land of our Harsha Dynasty not long ago. Although it was occupied by pirates, they only occupied it for more than ten days, and it is impossible to occupy it for a long time." Ashun Luo felt that he could still struggle.
"If you say that, your Harsha Dynasty still occupies the land of the Maurya Dynasty, and the Maurya Dynasty was established by my Chinese descendants, so this place has been my Chinese territory since ancient times!" Li Ke stared at him and said.
Ashun Luo: "????"
He looked at Li Ke in confusion... No, His Highness King Qin, how did you say such shameless words? What does the Mauryan Dynasty have to do with China?
"Your Highness King Qin, what does the fact that Chandragupta of the Maurya Dynasty was born as a Kshatriya have anything to do with you?" The Ashunra people were all dumbfounded.
"Oh? What evidence do you have to prove that he is not a descendant of China? During the Spring and Autumn Period of China, ships came to you through the ocean. There are historical records in China to prove it. Do you have it?" Li Ke looked at him and asked lightly road.
Ashunluo: "..."
How the hell do I prove the other person’s lineage?
"Look, since you can't prove it, then the ownership of the land doesn't mean anything, but it's true that I helped you eliminate the pirates! So, will you pay this money or not?" At this point, Li Ke smiled slightly He narrowed his eyes and stared at Ashun Luo.
If you don't agree, I'll do it directly.
Ashunluo: "..."
He wanted to say no, but he thought that the pirates who killed them casually were wiped out by these Tang people. Although they were far apart, they all saw the terrifying arrow rain.
Especially when the other party thought that their frontline troops were accomplices of the pirates, and also sent a wave of arrows at them, Ashunluo knew that they couldn't even stop the pirates, let alone the Tang Dynasty's army? ! Datang was indeed as powerful as the legend said.
"Pay, how much does it cost, Your Highness?" Ashunluo took a deep breath.
"I won't ask you for too much. I'll give you 10 million shi of grain and allow you to pay it off in one year." Li Ke waved his hand.
"How much?!" Ashunluo suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
"Ten million stones of grain, is that a lot?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"Your Highness... We definitely can't get this food. The empire is currently fighting against Tibet. A large amount of food and strong men have been taken away from the front line, and a lot of cultivated land has also been destroyed, so there is no." Ashunluo shook his head decisively. .
Li Ke frowned, then looked at the last word and said: "In this way, as a Celestial Kingdom, I am not an unreasonable person. I will give you a 50% discount, five million stones of grain, and allow you to pay for the Qing Dynasty in two years." , but you must give me half a million shi of rice in the first month. If you don’t give me this little money, then we in the Tang Dynasty can grow it ourselves on this land."
Five hundred thousand shi of grain is only 30,000 tons, a small number.
Hearing the word "self-planting", Ashunluo couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart. "Growing it yourself..." requires land, and the other party's current land belongs to them, so they will definitely not plant it on their own land.
There is no need to say more about what the implication is.
"I can agree! Thank you His Highness King Qin for helping the Harsha Dynasty to eliminate pirates." Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Although the Harsha Dynasty does not have this saying, there is a similar saying. Now that the form is stronger than the person, Ashun Luo can only agree.
Otherwise, the demise of Harsha Dynasty is just around the corner.
"Yes, King Haresi is really grand. In this case, I can't be stingy. I will give King Haresi a few pieces of the best silk from the Tang Dynasty. These silks are expensive even in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction. Head said.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I heard that Your Highness is here for trade?" Ashun Luo quickly thanked him.
"Yes, trade, make money, I just like making money." Li Ke nodded.
"Then... I wonder, Your Highness, can our Harsha Dynasty buy anything?" Ashun Luo asked tentatively.
"What do you want to buy?" Li Ke asked calmly.
"Buy weapons and armor?" Ashun Luo asked.
"Not for sale." Li Ke shook his head simply. Ashun Luo was stunned for a moment, with a disappointed expression on his face. Before his disappointment could subside, he heard a voice as beautiful as nature's.
"But we can sell iron."
