Chapter 900 Kickback?

After getting Yunzheng's permission, Suzan stated his two conditions.

First, Yun Zheng needs to represent Daqian and sign a non-aggression agreement with the various tribes in western Mo. At the same time, both sides need to open up trade channels and conduct normal trade.

Second, he needed Yun Zheng to give him 10,000 taels of gold alone.

After hearing Su Zan's conditions, Yun Zheng suddenly became confused.

There is nothing wrong with Su Zan’s first condition.

It would be good if both sides could conduct trade normally.

As for non-aggression, that's pure nonsense.

He won't take it seriously, and I believe the other tribes in western Moxi won't take it seriously either.

They have now signed a non-aggression agreement simply because neither side wants to fight anymore.

Once both sides have finished recuperating, war will inevitably break out again.

But Su Zan’s second condition left Yun Zheng a little confused.

Is this... a kickback?

Miaoyin and Shen Luoyan also looked confused, secretly wondering about Su Zan's purpose.

"Ten thousand taels of gold is not a small sum!"

Yunzheng looked at Suzan with interest, "Why does the Prime Minister think that I want to give you so much gold?"

"There is a saying in Daqian that an honest person does not speak in a dark way." Su Zan said frankly: "Your Majesty should know that once I agree to compensate you, I will become a treacherous person in the eyes of the people of Moxi!"

"You mean, this 12,000 taels of gold is compensation for you?" Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

"You could say the same thing."

Su Zan nodded gently, "I also know that there will be a decisive battle between the prince and the tribes of Western Desert sooner or later, and the tribes of Western Desert basically have no chance of winning! After this, I will flee from the tribes of Western Desert and escape to Xiluo..."

As Suzan finished speaking, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin immediately looked at each other.

Su Zan meant that he wanted to escape from the tribes of Moxi with all the gold, silver and treasures?

Is this ten thousand taels of gold the basis for ensuring that he can continue to enjoy wealth and glory after escaping to Xiuluo?

Is he planning a retreat?

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng was secretly suspicious, but then he said with a smile: "Since the Prime Minister is going to flee from the Moxi tribes anyway, why not agree to all my conditions! When the time comes, the Prime Minister will turn to Daqian, and I will absolutely guarantee your safety!"

Su Zan’s reason really surprised Yun Zheng.

But he also had some doubts in his heart.

He found that he couldn't understand Suzan.

To the Moxi tribes, it is impossible to judge whether this person is loyal or traitorous.

"The prince is joking."

Suzan shook his head and said: "Even if I agree to all the prince's conditions, the Mosi tribes won't be able to bring out that many things! Moreover, if I agree, I will definitely die when I return to the Mosi tribes."

"You don't have to go back!" Miaoyin smiled.

Suzan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I don't come back, my family members will inevitably die! Now I just want to negotiate with the prince on a condition that is acceptable to the prince and all the tribes in Moxi, and then find an opportunity to leave with all the family members. "

Miaoyin was silent.

That's true!

Once these people betray, the first to suffer are their families.

Just as Yun Zheng was secretly pondering Su Zan's intention, the guards brought more dishes.

It's not a delicacy, just horse meat boiled in a little salt water.

"Let's eat and talk!"

Yunzheng raised his hand in vain, then cut off a piece of horse meat with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth.

Suzan was not polite and cut a piece of horse meat and threw it into his mouth.

After drinking two more glasses of wine with Suzan, Yun Zheng finally said: "Thirty percent is too little. Besides, twenty thousand gold is too much! The Prime Minister should know how much food ten thousand taels of gold can buy. "

"I believe that for the prince, twenty thousand gold is really not much."

Suzan shook his head and said with a smile: "What the prince wants is nothing more than those materials! And what I want is nothing but glory and wealth! We each get what we need, isn't it good for both of us?"

Is everything okay?

Yunzheng smiled.

If that's the case, it would be good for them all.

It is not a big deal to raid the houses of the nobles of Dayue Kingdom for ten thousand taels of gold.

Isn't this the case that the wool comes from the sheep?

Moreover, even if the tribes in western Mo only gave him 30% of their supplies, their value would still far exceed 10,000 taels of gold.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s all earned with blood!

However, he also wanted to get more benefits and pay less gold.

The most important thing is to find out what Su Zan is up to.

After that, the two of them bargained while eating and drinking.

Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin didn't interrupt much, and just watched the tug-of-war between the two people quietly.

After a tug-of-war that lasted half an hour, Yun Zheng and Su Zan finally reached an agreement.

Su Zan agreed to compensate Yun Zheng according to 35% of the conditions proposed by Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng had to give Su Zan twelve thousand taels of gold.

Of course, the twelve thousand taels of gold were not given directly by Yun Zheng to Su Zan, but were directly deducted by Su Zan from the gold and silver that needed to be compensated to Yun Zheng.

This seems to be a win-win situation for them.

When the conditions were agreed upon, Suzan stopped staying and stood up to say goodbye to Yunzheng.

Yun Zheng had difficulty walking, so he asked Shen Kuan to escort Su Zan out of the camp for him.

"This negotiation was completely beyond my expectations!"

As soon as Su Zan left, Shen Luoyan spoke with a look of surprise.

She originally thought that this negotiation would be a tit-for-tat confrontation.

Unexpectedly, they actually settled down while eating and drinking.

They didn't look like they were negotiating at all, it was more like two people chatting.

Miaoyin nodded with deep approval and said with emotion: "It's quite easy to negotiate with this kind of person."

"I'm afraid not."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, "This Su Zan may not be as greedy as he looks."

Ok?

Miaoyin looked over in surprise, "Is it possible that Suzan's greed for money is just an act?"

Yun Zheng frowned, "I just doubt it, and I don't dare to make a conclusion."

"Why do you think so?"

Shen Luoyan asked puzzledly.

"I just think his words are a bit inconsistent."

Yunzheng explained, "Think about it, if he really wants to flee to Qiluo with gold and silver, why would he say it? Isn't he afraid that I will tell this matter? If you want to flee with gold and silver, , will you tell others your escape destination?”

"will not!"

Shen Luoyan didn't think twice.

Isn't this the same as when the Shen family fled the imperial city?

Who would tell their escape destination to someone they don’t trust?

"So, do you think Suzan said this deliberately to paralyze you?"

Miaoyin suddenly realized.

Yunzheng nodded, "That's pretty much what it means."

"What good does it do to them if he paralyzes you?" Miaoyin wondered.

"Either you want me to underestimate the enemy, or you have other plans!"

Yun Zheng couldn't guess Su Zan's real purpose. "However, no matter what, it's a good thing that we can reach an agreement! As long as those supplies come in, it can at least alleviate our food shortage..."

"That's true!"

Miaoyin smiled and said, "You don't want to fight with the Moxi tribes anymore anyway! Just think of these supplies as being picked up for free!"

"It can't be considered a free gift." Shen Luoyan laughed, "We have mobilized so many troops, and the food and grass consumed must also be taken into account."

Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Miaoyin couldn't help being slightly stunned.

After reacting, Miaoyin couldn't help but joke.

"You are really becoming more and more like our husband now!"
