Power and Empire Chapter 43: Blackmail (3)
Seeing that the beautiful Serisi came to the hall before herself, and the fat man who walked in with his men bends awkwardly, bows in an aristocratic hand in arm, and sits on a chair arranged in advance
" I’m so sorry, I didn’t expect Miss Seris to come so early, although our two countries are now hostile, but you are our Samor guest after all, let the guest wait for the host to be in our Wichiya It’s very rude. In order to express our Samor’s apologies, we are willing to reduce the original price by 10%. I hope Miss Ceres will not refuse."
When the fat man tells a lie, instead of blushing, he has a sincere face. Hearing that the fat man is willing to reduce the original price by one-tenth, the straight-hearted Serris almost jumped up with joy and found this death Fatty is not as he thinks he is a market lord who only recognizes money
I was willing to reduce the food payment of hundreds of thousands of gold coins just to express my apologies to myself, and also to salute myself in a knightly manner, which made Celice feel a strange sweet feeling in her heart, fluttering and fluttering. Cloud,
Si Sai Lisi asked with a reddish face
"Sir, really, it's not a trick to play with me, are you really willing to reduce the price by 10%?"
chuckled secretly in the fat man, this silly girl is so foolish! , I don’t even know the strategy of retreating for progress
Actually Fatty had arranged it secretly last night,
We must show our military strength in front of the Khergits, but don’t force the Khergits to death
This time the Kujites did not hesitate to use the national inventory to buy food. It can be seen that the most critical time has come.
If you hide life-saving food and don’t sell it, or the price is too high for the Kujit people to afford it,
urged the dying Kujit people, 20,000 Kujit elite cavalry gave up the capital and attacked the fortress of Samor, which contains a lot of food.
Even if he has tens of thousands of soldiers and a strong fortress, he can’t withstand the full attack of the 20,000 Kujites who are not afraid of death.
When the time comes, chickens fly eggs, people and money are empty, not only can’t keep food, but I can’t escape the fate of fleeing in a hurry,
Instead of this, it is better to sell half of the grain in your hand to the Khergits, in exchange for the needed war horses, gold coins and other materials to increase their strength, and the Khergits can better consume the strength of the capital.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, why not do something that kills two birds with one stone,
I will lower the price first. If the Kujites can buy enough food, they will not take the risk. The food sold can also be paid by the Kujites from the poor in the south and only have food left. The nobles in the country bought it back and made a lot of money when they came and went.
No matter how fierce the Kujites are, they are also humans. People are like this. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one wants to break the jar,
Fatty has this awareness here, and the negotiation will naturally move forward very quickly.
The ten-day negotiation was basically settled on the third day
on the suspension bridge of the fortress of Samor, wearing fiery red scale armor and an excellent image of the fat man, Ceres crossed her arms and bent over to the fat man and performed a Kujit’s most noble Namaste
"Dear Marquis Dustin, thank you for your kindness in helping us at the most critical moment of our Khergits. We Khergits respect the friends who really help us. I can assure the adults here, Our army will withdraw from the 16 villages and towns around the Samor Fortress in accordance with the agreement, and hand over the entire northern border of Samor to the adults!"
Watching the graceful and caressing figure of Si Sai Lisi disappear in the depths of the Kujit barracks outside the city,
I’m exhausted, it’s really not easy to fool this Kujit woman."
, standing on the suspension bridge, saw that Du Yu, who was drooling and drooling, wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief that the cold water penetrated in his right hand,
A pair of big hands pulled open the laces of their armor, letting the cool breeze passing by to lower the temperature of their armor comparable to the temperature of a sauna steam room
It’s a man who has to speak face, especially in front of beautiful women,
The fat man who has never worn full armor is rare today to wear full armor. He wants to finally show his generals in front of Seris. Who knows that this inadvertent decision will kill the fat man,
Today’s weather is very hot, and the airtight armor makes the fat man feel like he is squatting in a steaming sauna, with torrents of sweat pouring out of his body,
After three days of bargaining, the concubine fat man and Ceris finally reached an agreement,
Kugits used 400,000 gold coins and 2,000 militant horses, 5,000 ordinary workhorses seized from Vijay, and 16 villages and towns in the northern part of the Samor fortress in exchange for 500,000 stone grains in the Samor Fortress.
As for the nobles who were captured, the fat man’s attitude is very clear, the ransom is impossible, and the food can be considered,
is based on the standard of 500 shi per person for food. Would you like to change it? Any Kujit?
Anyway, those prodigal sons are also raised by your Kujites. They love to change or not, no one is rare.
Such a low standard made it difficult for Si Sai Lisi to accept, she immediately rejected the possibility, and finally after the wretched fat man hesitated for a while before redeeming all the captives at the price of 100,000 shi of grain
"My lord, we supply a large amount of Kujit food, if His Majesty the King knows about it, the lord will not be afraid of prosecuting our enemy?"
Caesar Sauron looked at the fat man leaning on the battlements and fanning himself with a handkerchief, and asked worriedly
"Enemies? We sacrificed our 600,000 shi grains in exchange for the noble adults in the north. This should be a noble character worth praising.
We are noble knights, how could we do such a shameful thing as being an enemy!
Fatty looked at Caesar Sauron who had a big mouth and could swallow eggs, and continued
"It’s not to find someone to blame, what should I do with those wastes that just eat and not work? 100,000 shi of grain, it’s enough to feed pigs to 2,000 or so"
Fatty's face is full of distress, it seems that he has suffered a great grievance,
I don’t think that I have already taken advantage of the Kujites by exchanging 100,000 stone of grain for the 156 nobles.
In peacetime, the worth of these prisoners is estimated to be worth more than 1.5 million gold coins,
is now shared on the price of the fat man, which is basically the price of ten heads of pork per person
Caesar Sauron shook his head with a wry smile,
Explaining the value of these grown-ups with this fat man who only takes advantage and doesn’t suffer is simply playing the piano against the cows,
If those consciously noble big people know that they are about the same price as pork, they don’t know what expressions will be on their faces.
Causes trouble to the east,
Kurgits who have eaten their stomachs should do something.
It should be the noble adults in the royal capital that should have a headache now
Kugits are really trustworthy
Seris left Samor three days later~IndoMTL.com~ The Kujit cavalry drove thousands of horses and 400,000 gold coins to be exchanged to the border of Samor. The exchange process went smoothly, following 3000 The Kujit cavalry left and 1,000 Kujit garrisons in 16 villages and towns
Crolithat, who went to exchange for money and horses, also brought back a bunch of tattered beggars
Outside the Samo Fortress, there are huge crowds of people, crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people are crushed by the crowd, and the water surrounding the Samoa is blocked
The battle flag of the falcon family embroidered with three-legged falcons on hundreds of faces flutters in the wind,
2000 people wearing iron scales, holding a three-meter spear in hand, and fully armed spearmen divided into ten rectangular squares to isolate the tens of thousands of villagers watching the excitement 20 meters away, and 1,000 wearing them A heavy infantry with heavy armor and a tall shield standing on the inside of the road like two steel fences.
"Are you all ready? Remember to make the atmosphere a little warmer. It’s better to make the whole Wikiah know how much we Samor value the high-levels of these kingdoms, and how much we abide by the chivalry rules of loving the nobility. What a noble moral character, willing to take out 600,000 stone of grain to redeem these big people, after all, we have to rely on them to carry the scapegoat of "adversaries","
The fat man in heavy armor stands on the suspension bridge of the Samor Fortress, behind him is a long red velvet cloak that represents the status of the commander, and he cranes his neck like a fat goose to look at the distance, and asks in a low voice. Caesar Sauron behind me
"Please rest assured, the subordinates, according to the instructions of the adults, not only arranged the highest and top three thousand army formations, but also mobilized all the nearby villagers to watch. I believe it will not take ten days. The Samo will use 600,000 shi for food. The news of the redemption of 156 big names from the Kujites will spread throughout Wichia!"
