I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

After Lin Beifan and others left, the Daxia delegation was full of anger and righteous indignation.

"60,000 taels of silver, you want too much!"

The Daxia delegation was dumbfounded!

The delegation from the building almost fainted!

"He's just trying to make things difficult for us! I've never seen such an arrogant person when I've grown up so much!"

I'll come to you in the future when I have something to do, and you can help me solve it!

This is...

Who is more shameless?

The cerebral thrombosis of the Daxia delegation has come out!

On day 2, negotiations continued.

"In addition to the 20 taels of military service in the front, a Daxia soldier can earn about 170 taels in a lifetime! That is to say, a Daxia soldier is worth about 170 taels!"

It comes and goes, isn't that how friendship comes?

Since sitting down, Lin Beifan has not said a word, waiting to see the sincerity of the other party.

"Wait! There is also the question of the redemption of His Royal Highness!" Someone shouted.

Lin Beifan raised his head and smiled slightly: "A Daxia soldier, this officer only needs you a tael! This request is not excessive, right?"

To have a good relationship with Lin Beifan, I don't know how many people dream of it.

Lin Beifan said with a smile, "Master Guo, this official is going to the Three Treasures Hall for everything!"

Lin Beifan asked again: "How many years of service?"

Lord Wang slapped the table and said angrily: "Lin Lord, one Daxia soldier is 1 tael, and these 600,000 soldiers are 60,000 taels! The annual income of our Daxia treasury is just over 100 million taels. You took half of it! You want too much, you are simply taking advantage of the fire, forgive me for not being able to agree!"

Lin Beifan calmly took a sip of tea: "My lord, don't be impatient! This official did not ask for a random price, but calculated it based on the information you provided, which is well-founded! And I also gave you a discount, which is a big deal. Soldier Xia only takes 1 tael, and you still earn 70 taels!"

He patted his chest and assured: "¨々Sir Lin, don't worry, this matter is simple, and it is covered by this official!"

Lin Beifan smiled and weighed the bank note in his hand: "If you did this earlier, wouldn't the matter be resolved earlier?"

"Lin Beifan is so unreal, he doesn't take us seriously at all!"

Da Xia's representative, Mr. Wang, took a sip of tea first to suppress his shock, and then said calmly: "Lin, after going back last night, my colleagues thought about it and didn't know what conditions to put forward to satisfy you, so simply It's up to you!"

As soon as Guo Zhaotou heard it, he knew what Lin Beifan was thinking.

Special enthusiasm, special courtesy!

Everyone sighed helplessly: "What Mr. Wang said is very true!"

Lord Wang sighed again, and said, "Lin Beifan is a huge greedy, insatiable greedy, who recognizes money but does not recognize people! If we secretly bribe him and let him lower the ransom, maybe this can happen!"

Mr. Wang replied: "Serve from the age of 18, and generally serve for 2 years! After the service is completed, it will be transferred to the reserve, and usually work on farming, but if there is a war, you must be called back to continue serving!"

Lord Wang turned pale, and murmured, "You are talking like a lion, how can you go on talking about it?"

Mr. Wang replied again: "Because of their physical strength, soldiers who have finished their service can live to be about 50 years old on average!"

Although this matter is only a small matter, it is something that Lin Beifan personally explained.

"Lord Lin, let's talk in detail inside!"

"Master Lin, please speak, this official is all ears!" Master Wang sat upright.

...

Emperor Daxia was very angry, and sent a secret letter to urge them to solve the matter quickly.

"Anyway, you have to try it!"

Representatives from both sides talked for a week without any progress.

Adding in the previous 60,000 taels, the total is 80,000 taels!

Otherwise, there is no need to come back.

At this time, Lord Wang let out a sigh of relief: "My lords, don't be impatient! Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish, what can we do? For the sake of His Royal Highness and for the sake of Dawu, let's bear it for a while, don't Big mistake!"

"Lin Beifanas is literally killing us!"

Lord Wang replied, "About ten taels of silver!"

So, he decided to do it himself.

...

Mr. Wang gradually became puzzled: "Lord Lin, what are you asking about? What does it have to do with our negotiation?"

Lord Wang sighed: "For today's plan, it seems that there is only one way!"

"Where are you coming!"

"Buy Lin Beifan with money!"

People: "Huh?"

"Lord Lin, please tell me that this officer will do his best!" Guo Zutou looked solemn.

Almost emptying their treasury!

"Returning from retirement to work in the fields, they can earn an average of 5 taels of silver every year! They live to 50 years old and work for 30 years, so they can earn about 150 taels in 30 years!"

"Don't be nervous, this matter is very simple!" Lin Beifan said with a smile, "You should have people in the six gates in Daxia, right?"

The Daxia delegation turned pale with anger!

When Guo Zhaotou heard this, he was even more happy.

So, on the second night, they secretly booked a luxury restaurant and invited Lin Beifan over for a drink.

"How?" Everyone said in unison.

Because they received the news from Daxia, there are now crazy rumors everywhere in Daxia that the imperial court disregarded the life and death of the 600,000 surrendered troops, and was unwilling to pay to redeem them, resulting in unrest in the army and unstable situation.

Lin Beifan asked again, "You Daxia, how long do retired soldiers usually live?"

If this matter is done, and Lin Beifan is satisfied, the benefits are unimaginable!

...

"But, does this work?" Someone looked worried.

Is this something that can be given casually?

"Not only are you not grateful to Dade, but you even kick your nose on your face. What's the point? You can be shameless, but you can't be so shameless, right?"

If you have something, come to me, I will help you solve it!

Lin Beifan asked: "This officer asked you, what is the annual salary of your ordinary soldiers?"

"It's easy to do with someone!" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "I want to invite people from Six Gates to help me promote this negotiation, saying that Daxia is unwilling to pay to redeem Daxia's army, The Xia court didn't take the soldiers' lives to heart at all, such a court is not worth serving! The bigger the fuss, the better, and put some pressure on the negotiating delegation!"

When the wine was full of flavor, Mr. Wang took out a stack of silver notes, put it in Lin Beifan's arms, and whispered, "Lord Lin, about the ransom, can you be accommodating? You are on behalf of Da Wu. The court is working hard to get the ransom, but the money belongs to the court, it has nothing to do with you! But as long as you let go, the money is yours!"

"What? One person and one tael, isn't that too much?"

Everyone gritted their teeth.

"Of course there is! It should be said that we have personnel in each country to monitor the movements of the martial arts in all countries, as well as the movements of the imperial court, in case of unexpected events! Lord Lin, why do you ask this?"

"We can't agree! Your Majesty will never agree!"

The two asked and answered.

After Lin Beifan left, Guo Zhaotou fell into deep thought.

The other representatives all stood up and said angrily.

A week passed quickly.

It is rare for Lin Beifan to ask them for help at Six Doors.

Their Majesty, it is impossible for them to agree!

Call us shameless?

After a cup of tea, Lin Beifan said solemnly: "Master Guo, as you know, this official is now representing Dawu and negotiating with Daxia's delegation! But the talks are not going well now, so I want to ask you to help busy!"

Lin Beifan nodded slightly: "That's fine, I finally see a little sincerity!"

They will never agree in the summer!

Lin Beifan went on to say: "In addition to this, you have to pay my army's starting expenses, as well as the sympathy for the sacrifice of the great soldiers! This official doesn't want much, you can give 20,000 taels casually! "

Lin Beifan was not in a hurry at all, but Da Xia represented them gradually becoming anxious.

Everyone shook their heads county.

"There's really nothing to talk about with him, let's talk about it!"

"It must be the ghost of Dawu!" One of the representatives said with hatred: "While dragging us, spreading public opinion to persecute us, it's too hateful!"

"Let's just tell the Great Martial Empress and let her talk to someone else!"

After leaving the negotiating table, Lin Beifan did not go to the yamen, but came to the six doors.

...

"The reason why I asked in detail is to calculate the value of the soldiers in Daxia, so I can ask for the price. Now, I have calculated it!" Lin Beifan took out a small abacus from nowhere, and tapped: "You Daxia soldiers generally serve for two years, and the annual military salary is 10 taels of silver, and the military salary during the service period is 20 taels!"

"Good talk!"

20,000 taels?

Good guy, it turns out that the other party has been waiting here! .

"But what can we do? For 80,000 taels, we can't afford it at all!"

As a member of the officialdom, Guo Zhaotou naturally knew what to do.

Before reaching the six doors, Guo Zoutou, who had learned the news in advance, was already standing at the door to greet him, and said with a smile: "Lin, what kind of wind is blowing you? Come in quickly!"

"But, after all, we are a country of etiquette and pay attention to humility! Therefore, Lord Wang...'..."

"Lord Wang is right, you are taking advantage of the fire!"

"Then there is Lord Lao Guo!"

"Let's talk about this first, then talk about your prince!" Lin Beifan patted his butt and left.

The representative of Daxia hoped to lower the ransom, but Lin Beifan just refused to let go and bite the price, and the two sides broke up every time.

"Our negotiation mainly involves two things!" Lin Beifan raised two fingers: "One is the redemption of the 600,000 Great Xia soldiers and horses, and the other is the redemption of the Great Xia Crown Prince Xia Qiong, we Let’s talk about the issue of Daxia soldiers and horses first!”

I wish I could throw that bastard Lin Beifan out and beat him.

You must know that Lin Beifan is now a second-rank official in the imperial court. He also has a title and is favored by the empress. He can be regarded as the first person in the court, with a high position and authority!

"Then what other solutions do you have?" Lord Wang asked back.

...

"There was nothing to talk about! Whether it's our business or not giving it is your business! If you can talk about it, talk about it, if you can't talk about it, forget it!" Lin Beifan stood up and left: "Everyone, consider it carefully, this official. Come again tomorrow!"
