Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 141 The Peace Talks Begin
Chen Qiyu, the Shaanxi procuratorate, entered the commander's tent angrily.

He directly put the conditions proposed by He Jinzhao in front of Yang He, and sat beside him without saying a word.

Yang He glanced at it first, and couldn't help laughing out loud:
"This little postman has quite a big appetite."

After He Jinzhao's conditions were circulated, everyone was laughing, whimsical.

"Master Yang, this thief deliberately put forward such difficult conditions, and absolutely has no intention of surrendering."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard, he didn't expect He Jinzhao to have such a big appetite.

"Yeah, who told you that you couldn't beat him."

When Yang He said this, Hong Chengchou broke his defense again.

"And you wrote the letter to discuss peace, not to appease, Mr. Hong, are you afraid of being beaten by him?"

"Your Excellency." Hong Chengchou stood up:

"This matter is definitely not the fault of my main battle. If Marquis Ningyang hadn't provided He Jinchao with a large amount of weapons and equipment, Ganquan County would have been captured by our soldiers long ago."

"Okay." Yang He waved his hand casually: "It's useless to say these things now."

Yang He stood up and took two steps: "It would be great if he could appease He Jinzhao, but he wants too much, it's absolutely impossible."

Everyone understood what Yang He meant, they could give it, but not so much.

With Shaanxi's finances, we can't afford it, and we can't get so many things together.

Don't even think about the first [-] horses.

Yang He took out a piece of paper again, and wrote five horses, three zeros on the back, one set of armor, and all the rest had zeros, only the single digits were saved.

"Come on, go and send it to He Jinzhao."

He Jinzhao didn't expect that the counter-offer would not be a [-]/[-] cut, but would directly give you a zero to make it a single digit.

"Yang He is quite good at doing business." He Jinzhao curled his lips.

When Liu Erhu heard that He Jinzhao had read the reply from the official army, he was furious immediately:
"Captain, these dog officials don't take us seriously at all."

"When it comes to business, you have to allow others to bargain."

He Jinzhao didn't expect Yang He to sponsor him so many things.

Because it's not realistic.

Let's talk.

He just waited for the news of King Qin to come, and Shaanxi mobilized King Qin's troops so that he could quickly get "sponsorship" from the Ming Dynasty's army.

He Jinzhao was just waiting to knock Yang He out, anyway, Yang He's plan to appease him would fail. Before that, how could he leave Shaanxi without some benefits?

At the same time, he also reduced the required horse equipment by one thousand, look at our sincerity.

The two sides are you come to me to start bargaining.

I have to say that although Yang He wants to be taken advantage of, he is still quite picky.

He allowed the rebels who surrendered to exploit the local people, and the rewards were rarely issued.

After all, the imperial court's special funds have not yet been allocated.

Thanks to the finances of the Ming court, the central government generally has no money. When collecting taxes, enough money is set aside and then handed over.

The financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty was not first transported to the court for unified distribution, but most of it was kept in places, or sent directly to border towns.

The household department has never had much money, that is, Zhang Juzheng had a slight surplus in those ten years, which effectively supported the three major Wanli campaigns.

Zhang Juzheng has a surplus of about 300 million taels a year, but Liaodong now needs 400 million taels of silver a year.

If there were officials like Zhang Juzheng under Chongzhen's hands, how could he earn 300 million taels a year? Coupled with the corruption of Eunuch Wei in the early stage, Daming's finances were in a mess.

At the local level, the "weakening" of imperial power was extremely serious, and it was the local gentry who really talked about it, and the local officials colluded with the squires to make a fortune in partnership.

Because everyone should be a decent person who pays attention to "etiquette"!
Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty used butcher knives to talk about etiquette with the gentry, they directly collected taxes and distributed supplies through violence, and these decent people did not dare to pierce them.

Although Daming has incomparable financial, material and human resources for Jurchen.

Liaodong suffered a natural disaster, Huang Taiji had no choice but to send troops into the pass to rob, but Yuan Chonghuan could ask the rear to transfer him.

However, the resources that can really be invested in the Liaodong battlefield cannot even meet the normal expenses of the frontier army.

Soldiers in Liaodong quarreling about their salaries also happened from time to time.

He Jinzhao believes that the imperial court has no money, but to say that the local government has no money is lying.

On this day, Yang He and others and He Jinzhao took a stand outside Ganquan City, preparing for a debate.

Because writing letters all the time, passing them back and forth, is really annoying.

Yang He felt He Jinzhao's sincerity, at least he wouldn't do it lightly.

Both sides brought a few people with them, and sat where they could hit the guns.

With the fire on the side, I bargained outside while the sun was shining.

"I never thought you were so young."

Yang He took a serious look at the little postman, he was handsome and well-behaved.

I never thought that the more obedient she looks, the harder she beats people.

Young and light is a thief.

Dare to claim to be the chief coach of the 80 uprising army in Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou was defeated several times.

But people can't judge by their appearance.

Yang He is very old and his beard has turned white.

A young man, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, full of vigor.

One is getting old, just like the sunset lingers on the last glory of the world.

Today Yang He is wearing a third-rank official uniform. He is the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the governors of the three sides have no rank.

"Master Yang is still working hard for the country at such an age, I really admire it."

Yang He stroked his beard and shook his head, "It's because of a traitor like you that I work so hard at my age."

He Jinzhao snorted and said, "If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty could work hard for the country like Master Yang, there would be no rebellious officials and thieves like me."

Choked by He Jinchao's words, and Yang He didn't keep talking, he knew that this son was a smart guy.

"Your conditions are too high, and the imperial court will not agree."

"We're talking about something about Shaanxi, how to report it to the court, so why not read Master Yang's notes?"

Hearing He Jinchao's words, Yang He raised his eyebrows slightly: "How dare I lie to the emperor, besides, there are supervisors to testify."

"The Shaanxi government is rich."

"Since the large-scale civil uprising last year, whether it's disaster relief, suppression or payment, Shaanxi has no money left."

Yang He pointed to his last price increase: "These one hundred war horses are evenly distributed from our army. The country is also in trouble. I hope you can understand."

"I understand very well." He Jinzhao continued: "After all, Ming Dynasty has external and internal troubles, and there are many places where money is needed."

Yang He nodded in surprise, he didn't expect that He Jinzhao would be so good, which civil servant could refuse? With his good looks, he encouraged the enemy to surrender.

This move is enough to leave a name in history.

"I understand, but this is not the reason why you only gave me this little material." He Jinzhao knocked on the table: "You think I can't do it, you have to pay more!"
