"Haha, how about it? There's no progress, right? Thirty million taels is indeed too much. Even if they agree now, they won't be able to get it out. Then won't they still have to draw water from a bamboo basket?"

Seeing Li Chengming ending the negotiations faster than the day before, Wang Bing couldn't help but persuade him again to reduce the amount of compensation for the Japanese.

"Hehe, even if they can't take out that much at the moment, they can still let them pay back the rest slowly every year. If it doesn't finish in five years, it will be ten years, if it's not finished in ten years, it will be twenty years. Anyway, they have a silver mountain

It’s too much, wouldn’t it be repaid if you work harder?”

Obviously, it was impossible for Li Chengming, who knew the gold and silver output of Japan, to reduce the amount of compensation. The most he could do was give them a 'discount' for repayment in installments.

"General Qi, uncle, those two old Japanese are stuck in the main hall and can't come out. Do you want me to kick them out?"

Just when Li Chengming said that the Japanese would repay the compensation in installments, Shuerhaqi brought the news that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie were in the negotiation hall and could not come out.

"These two guys are using this to avoid being searched tomorrow! Don't worry about them, let them be happy first, hehe!"

Li Chengming, who saw through the two's plans at a glance, couldn't help but smile narrowly.

"Third brother, I think the feng shui of the main hall where we are negotiating is not good. How about we change the place? Maybe it will work wonders? Hahahaha!"

In the end, Li Chengming asked Wang Bing for instructions to change the negotiation venue.

"I have given you full authority over the peace talks a long time ago. Why do you ask me about such a trivial matter? Just make your own decision!"

Wang Bing, who could tell at a glance that Li Chengming had a bad idea, waved his hand indifferently.

…

"You two, my uncle told me that he is not feeling well today, so the place of negotiation will be changed to the east building of Honmaru where he lives!"

Just as Tokugawa Ieyasu and his two men suppressed their hunger and braced themselves to wait for Li Chengming, the negotiator of the Ming Dynasty, to arrive, they did not expect that a sergeant from the Habayashi Guards was waiting to inform them that the negotiation venue had changed.

news.

'Uh, this, this...'

When they heard that the location of the negotiation had changed, the two people who originally thought that their little plan had succeeded were dumbfounded. The love they endured in order to avoid the humiliation of a body search was in vain.

However, people had to lower their heads under the eaves. Therefore, at the urging of the Habayashi Guard sergeant, the two had no choice but to endure their hunger and followed them to the east building of the Honmaru where Li Chengming lived.

"You two, it's the old rules, don't you need me to tell you?"

Soon, after arriving at the east building where Li Chengming lived, before entering, Shuerhaqi, who had been waiting here for a long time, looked over with a joking look on his face.

"ah!"

Just when Tokugawa Ieyasu and the two had no choice but to start taking off their clothes, a Japanese girl who was serving Li Chengming came out of the house carrying a basin. When she saw the two people taking off their crotch cloth,

Suddenly he couldn't help but scream, threw the basin down with a clang, and ran in again.

"Uh, this, this..."

The two of them, who had no idea that there was a waitress here, hurriedly squatted down with their crotch cloths in hand, looking embarrassed. They were so embarrassed and angry that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

…

"Well, how do you think about it? If you don't think about it well, then go back and think about it again. Let's continue talking tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry!"

Li Chengming, who was lying on the bed enjoying a massage from two Japanese women, asked lazily towards the embarrassed Tokugawa Ieyasu and the other two.

"Uncle, it's not that my subordinates are unwilling, but thirty million taels is really too much. This country really can't afford so much gold and silver!"

Seeing that Li Chengming wanted to expel the guest again, the two of them immediately became anxious after experiencing the humiliation of body search. If the talks couldn't produce any results today, wouldn't they have been humiliated in vain again?

Therefore, when faced with Li Chengming's inquiry, although the two of them were still unwilling to agree, their tone was much softer than the previous day.

"So, if there is so much gold and silver, you are still willing to sign this contract?"

Li Chengming, who heard that the tone of the two men softened again, became more energetic at this moment and turned over from the bed to sit up.

"Well, back to my uncle, if my country really has so much gold and silver, my two ministers have already agreed to it, so why bother with my uncle here? Please give me some advice and reduce it some more!"

Although they could not understand what Li Chengming meant, seeing that his attitude was not as tough as yesterday, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his two colleagues quickly took the opportunity to start raising prices again.

"Then tell me, how much gold and silver can you bring out?"

To the two's surprise, this time Li Chengming actually gave them another chance to counter-offer.

"Uh, this, this..."

The two people who were not prepared at all, after hearing Li Chengming's question, quickly looked at each other, and then discussed quietly in Japanese for a while, then Li Chengming looked over again.

"Uncle, although our Japanese country is indeed rich in gold and silver, after all the expenditures of the past dynasties, there is really not much gold and silver left. At most, we can only make up 30 million taels..."

"Haha, thirty million taels? I'm sending the beggars away!"

After hearing the two people's answers, Li Chengming suddenly became unhappy. This special thing was only one-tenth of his asking price, so how could it possibly satisfy his appetite.

"Uncle..."

"In this case, don't say that my uncle is unreasonable. Sixty million taels, you hand over the sixty million taels first!"

Directly interrupting the two of them crying, Li Chengming said another figure of 60 million taels. Although it was still a very huge number, it was much less than 30 million taels.

So after hearing Li Chengming's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his two brothers couldn't help but look happy, and they quickly prepared to agree.

However, before the two of them could speak, the second half of Li Chengming's words directly sent their hearts that had just ascended to heaven back to hell.

"As for the remaining 240 million taels, I will give you twenty years to repay it in installments! Of course, you can also use copper, sulfur and other materials to pay off the debt. I heard that each bronze Buddha in your Japanese country has millions

Jin, are you still worried that you won’t have anything to repay your debt? Hehe!”

Just kidding, even Wang Bing couldn't get him to change the amount of compensation, how could he reduce it for Japanese without any reason.

"Repay in installments? Use things to pay debts? This, this..."

Faced with the solution proposed by Li Chengming, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his two colleagues did not refuse as before, but began to seriously consider it.

"You can go back and think about it carefully. It won't be too late to reply to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How about that? Hehe!"

…

"Look, isn't this negotiated? It would be great if you had agreed earlier. If you had agreed earlier, I would have told you this method of repaying debts in installments and using things to pay off debts, hahahaha!"

Looking at the peace treaty signed by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie, Li Chengming couldn't help laughing heartily.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to take his time and not be anxious, or perhaps because he was really embarrassed by the strip search these days. In short, Li Chengming's method of making a 'down payment' first and then repaying the loan in installments, Tokugawa Ieyasu

The two finally agreed.

Then, after the most important terms have been agreed, other terms will naturally be signed.
Chapter completed!
