Chapter 687 Ten times the ransom
After seeing Pierce, Mark returned to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. This time he did not say a high-sounding word, but said directly: "Lord Jiang, you offer a price, how much does it cost to take Prince Pierce away!"
Jiang Tian said with a smile: "This is not urgent, you always need to fill your stomach!" As he said that, he clapped his hands clearly, and suddenly a group of young girls in exposed walk in with dishes. After the young girls left respectfully, Jiang Tiancai smiled and said, "Mr. Mark, please have a meal!"
Although he was extremely reluctant to delay like this, all the initiative was controlled by Jiang Tian, and he could only deal with the moves and lower his head and silenced. The delicious delicacies in his mouth tasted like chewy wax.
After finally seeing Jiang Tian wipe his mouth, Mark immediately spoke, "Lord Jiang, can you talk now?"
Jiang Tian said: "Of course!"
As he said that, he picked up a white cloth from the desk, and his guard took it and handed it to Mark. The latter took the list and saw that he almost wanted to have the urge to kill, so he saw that the white cloth was clearly listed:
There are 5,828 ordinary soldiers in total. The normal ransom in mainland China is ten gold coins per person. At a price of 10 times, it is 100 gold coins per person, totaling 582,800 gold coins!
There are 126 intermediate officers and centurions. The normal ransom for mainland China is 100 gold coins. At a price of ten times, it is 1,000 gold coins per person, totaling 126,000 gold coins.
There are 8 senior officers and commanders. The normal ransom for the mainland is 1,000 gold coins per person. At a price of ten times, it is 10,000 gold coins per person, totaling 80,000 gold coins.
In addition, it was found that there were 49 officers with the title of baron. The normal ransom for the mainland was 500 gold coins per person. At a price of ten times, it was 5,000 gold coins per person, totaling 245,000 gold coins.
There are 14 officers with the title of viscount. The normal ransom for the mainland is 1,000 gold coins per person, at a price of ten times the price. It is 10,000 gold coins per person, totaling 140,000 gold coins.
There are four officers with the title of Earl, and the normal ransom of the mainland is 10,000 gold coins per person, at a price of ten times the price. It is 100,000 gold coins per person, totaling 400,000 gold coins.
There is also a corpse of your marquis. I will give you a discount and it will be a discount of 100,000 gold coins.
And Prince Pierce, if you want to be lower, you won’t give you the face of the Principal of Louis. So we weighed three times, and in order to take care of your face, we had a price of 5 million gold coins at once.
100,000 gold coins for food, board, medical expenses, etc. on these days.
Total, 6773,800 gold coins!
After reading all carefully, Mark almost spurted out his old blood. This was not a ransom, it was clearly a robbery. He asked angrily: "Lord Jiang, we came with great sincerity. Why do you tease us?"
Jiang Tian was unhappy: "Why am I teasing you? If I had no sincerity, your officers would have been taken to the mine to mine. I would serve you delicious food and drinks. And Pierce, you saw it just now. How good is he living here!" As he said that, a cold look shot at Mark, "I think you obviously don't want to save the Fourth Prince. Haha, I want to use my hand to kill him so that your master will lose a competitor to inherit the title of Duke in the future!"
There are 19 princes in the Principality of Louis. However, only four people are truly capable of competing for the title of duke. Before becoming an official, Mark worked as a primary school teacher in the second prince's residence. Of course, these were revealed to Jiang Tian when Pierce was drinking.
"You are talking nonsense, I, Mark, are open and honest, and I am dedicated to the public. How can you slander me!" Mark was so angry that his face turned pale, but although he was very angry, he couldn't help but feel worried. If the negotiations broke down, I'm afraid that such remarks in China would be rampant and would be unfavorable to the Second Prince.
"Haha, only you know whether it is true or not!" Jiang Tian said.
Mark suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Why is the ransom 10 times higher than the normal price of the mainland?"
This is not something Mark saw, but it is written brightly on the white cloth, and it is charged ten times the normal price in the mainland. This is too arrogant.
Jiang Tian said, "I am not trying to take care of the face of your Duchy of Louis. If the ransom is paid too little, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the mainland? And if you redeem it for ten times the price, you can imagine that those soldiers and officers will definitely be grateful to your Grand Duke. With their intentional or unintentional propaganda, your Grand Duke will immediately become a kind king that the people sing to praise! And you will definitely be generously rewarded by the Grand Duke!"
"Okay, this is reasonable, so why should you charge twice? You collected it once according to your military rank and once according to your noble title. You really think that our Duchy of Louis is the sucker!" Mark asked angrily.
Jiang Tian said with a striking remark, "Since they have two identities, it is normal for them to collect money twice!"
"But the rules on the mainland are calculated only by titles, and Prince Pierce's title is just an earl, so he should collect money according to the earl. Why do you need 5 million gold coins? The dukes on the mainland are only at this price!!" Mark argued.
"Haha, that's just a rule on the mainland, and this is my rule. Because you are trading with me now, you must follow my rules! Pierce is just an earl now, but he is likely to be the future duke, so I have to consider the future!"
"Puff!" Mark almost vomited blood. Does the ransom still have to consider other people's future achievements? Then to say that, everyone's ransom can be charged 5 million gold coins. Who knows whether he will be lucky enough to create a country in the future?
Jiang Tian smiled faintly and said, "You just need to answer to accept or not, don't see how I collect money!"
The beard under Mark's jaw was already raised high. It was not the first time he had led the delegation to negotiate. However, it was the first time he was so frustrated, his face turned red and he didn't even say a word.
6773,800 gold coins are really too high. You should know that the bottom line given by the Grand Duke is only 2 million gold coins, which is almost 4 times the difference, and Mark has no right to make a decision.
"I need to ask the Grand Duke, I can't make a decision!" After a long time, Mark said with a "give" two "hurry".
"Of course!" Jiang Tian was very understanding, but his face suddenly turned cold, "However, I will only give you three days. After three days, you have not received the ransom. From Prince Pierce to ordinary soldiers, everyone will fall to the ground!"
"You! If you really do this, the destruction of the Phillips Federation will only take place overnight!" Mark said hatefully.
"You don't have to worry about this all the time!" Jiang Tian said indifferently. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
