Chapter 499
The price of a total of 6.5 million gold coins is simply astronomical.
"I...I cannot be the master of the matter. I must report it to the king and ask the king to decide."
Monk Deshan's forehead was oozing sweat. Even if there was cold poison in his body, he still broke out in cold sweat.
Long Chen sneered coldly: "The two elders saw it. I can represent the Great Zhou, and I can represent the World Association. This old bald donkey is a melody and cannot be the master!"
Deshan said angrily: "You offer a sky-high price, how can I make the decision!"
Long Chen shouted, "I'll give you such an important place as Zhenguo Temple, what else do you want!"
Niu Yang said reconciliation: "Douzhuguo calms down, let Master Deshan go back and report. Let us go back to Xifeng City first, and after Master Deshan has thought about it, we will discuss it."
Gaonian said: "Yes, today's first consultation, don't worry, we will discuss it after Master Deshan has agreed."
Long Chen stood up and said, "In theory, the two elders came from afar. I should fulfill my friendship as a landlord, but there is military affairs in Zhenguo Temple, so I am in a hurry to go back, so I will not leave two of them."
Niu Yang and Gaonian stood up and replied, "The future is long, and today is not bad. Goodbye."
The two elders left, and Deshan immediately followed him.
Several people left, Long Chen sat down to have tea, and Wu Jian and Zhang Qian sat down too.
"Sir, you have such a big appetite, 6.5 million gold coins!"
Wu Jian was shocked.
Long Chen smiled and said, "The Ministry of Industry's products are provided to the World Association for free, and we must find someone to cut our flesh to make up for our losses."
Zhang Qian said astonished: "The 6.5 million gold coins are only a year in Xixia's treasury income, and they can't give it!"
Long Chen smiled and said, "I know I can't give it, but the treasury can borrow it if it doesn't have money. The world will not have money."
Wu Jian said: "But if you borrow money from the Tianxia Society, Xixia must obey the Tianxia Society."
Long Chen smiled and said, "That's their business, I don't care!"
Niu Yang and Gaonian left the Marshal's Mansion, Tian Liang hurriedly greeted him and took them back to Xifeng City.
Monk Deshan caught up from behind, clasped his hands and said, "I am merciful to you! Two elders, Long Chengen, this lion, spoke up, 6.5 million gold coins are absolutely unacceptable, I don't have that much money in Xixia!"
Niu Yang said: "Master, today is just the first consultation. How much can you give in Xixia? You can give a correct number first and we will discuss it."
Gaonian said: "You should see that we are heading towards Xixia and we will not let you suffer."
Deshan certainly knew that if the world would go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he would not mention the return of Zhenguo Temple.
"Okay, I will go back and report first. The two elders must help us."
Niu Yang comforted: "Master, don't worry, go, we are standing on the side of Xixia."
Deshan sent the two elders on the horse, and then took Miaoyin and his group of disciples back.
After leaving Jade Buddha Pass, the sun sets westward, but the heat does not subside at all.
Deshan hurriedly rode his horse and returned to the Xixia army camp.
After entering the house and reaching Shi Le's room, Shi Haoran and Lu Qichang were waiting for Deshan to come back.
"How is it?"
Shi Le asked anxiously.
Deok-sun sighed and explained the negotiations in detail.
After hearing this, Shi Le was furious: "Long Chengen treats me as a fat sheep! 6.5 million gold coins, I am willing to fight to the death!"
The prince Shi Haoran also said angrily: "My treasury income in Daxia is only 300,000 gold coins a year. Long Chengen asked for 6.5 million as soon as he spoke. This is outrageous!"
De Shan sat underneath and remained silent.
Lu Qichang asked: "Master, it is reasonable that the world should speak for us, so why did he give such an outrageous price?"
Deshan said: "The world will say this is the first negotiation and the price can be discussed again."
Lu Qichang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is just the first price, we can give our own price."
Shi Le said angrily: "I don't want to give it to anyone!"
Everyone was silent...
If you don’t pay, you will start a war, but the current Xixia army cannot defeat it at all.
Last time, Long Chen only brought 50,000 cavalry and swept the Xixia camp.
Although there is a sneak attack, the combat effectiveness of the Long Family Army is strong.
Now the Long family army is a victorious army, while the Xixia is a tired army, and they will be defeated when they start a war.
Shi Le kept scolding Long Chen, and the others listened.
When Shi Le was tired of scolding, Lu Qichang said: "I think it is more appropriate to use 10 years of treasury income to exchange for Zhenguo Temple..."
10 years of income is 3 million gold coins, which is equivalent to discounting Long Chen’s offer.
Everyone dared not speak, and they all looked at Shi Le.
"The treasury has no money..."
Shi Le sighed.
Everyone was silent again.
Deshan said slowly: "I suggest... I borrow money from the world."
Shi Haoran immediately opposed: "The world will interfere in our government's internal affairs. If we borrow a huge amount of money, we are afraid that the government will not be able to decide."
Shi Le looked at Deshan and said nothing. As the king, he knew more about the impact of the world on the Western Xia government.
"This is a good sentence, but to put it bluntly, if there are too many lice, you won't bite people, and if there are too many debts, you won't worry about people."
"With so much money we borrowed, the World Alliance will always help us find a solution. If we have conflicts with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty again, the World Alliance will have to support us with all our strength."
Deshan knew that the world would interfere in the Western Xia government. Since that was the case, he might as well give up and owed too much debt.
Shi Le suddenly felt that Deshan was right.
Anyway, the financial situation in Xixia is tight, so I might as well borrow more and my Panhe Palace needs to be rebuilt.
"Okay, please let the master go and tell the world what we can accept, and then talk about borrowing money."
Shi Le put this important task on Deshan.
"I...receive the order."
Deoksun really didn't want to go this trip, but Shi Le spoke and he had to go.
The next morning, Deshan found Miaoyin and asked them to go with him.
Miaoyin said, "Abbot, my disciple had diarrhea last night..."
Deshan knew that Miaoyin refused to leave, so he simply rode his horse to Xifeng City by himself.
It was cool in the morning, and Deshan quickly passed Zhenguo Temple and arrived outside the Jade Buddha Pass.
"Open the door! I am going to Xifeng City!"
At this time, Long Chen returned to Zhenguo Temple, and the general guarding the pass was Wu Jian.
The soldiers quickly reported to Wu Jian. When Wu Jian heard that Deshan was detained, he hurried to Ximen.
Looking at De Shan under the city, Wu Jian said coldly: "What is Master doing?"
Deshan looked bad and said, "I went to Xifeng City to consult with the elder of the Tianxia Council. Please open the city gate!"
Wu Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Open the door!"
The soldiers opened the city gate, and Wu Jian and a group of generals watched Deshan walk through the Jade Buddha Pass and then go out from the East Gate.
After Deshan passed the east gate, Wu Jian immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhenguo Temple.
After passing Jade Buddha Pass, Deshan arrived at Xifeng City, entered the government office, and saw the city lord's land and grain.
"The master is here, please come inside."
Tian Liang Xiaoyingying brought Deshan into the main hall and quickly reported Niu Yang and Gaonian.
When the two elders heard that Deshan was coming, they knew that they would come to discuss compensation and immediately came out to meet.
