Chapter 1031 Successful price cut

These words made Wang Yun slightly stunned. Lu Xiufu and others also changed their expressions slightly.

Is the emperor telling the truth? Or is he simply rejecting the Yuan Dynasty to send Emperor Gong back to the court?

They couldn't help but think about it because the meaning of Zhao Dongting's words was clearly that he was unwilling to pay the price at all.

Zhang Shijie was an old minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was highly valued by Empress Dowager Xie before. At this time, he couldn't help but stand up and bowed, "Emperor..."

But before he could speak, Zhao Dongting stabbed him back with his eyes.

Zhang Shijie and others' eyes suddenly changed.

However, all of their expressions were seen by Wang Yun, Luo Tuo and others.

Wang Yun originally wanted to stimulate Zhao Dongting again, but when he thought about Zhao Dongting's strength just now, he didn't dare to do so. He just said, "Does Emperor Song not even want to pay the price?"

Zhao Dongting snorted coldly: "It is impossible to cedify land. The crafts in the army are also impossible."

Wang Yun looked at Luo Tuo.

Luo Tuo's eyebrows and eyes were drooping, and he remained silent. It seemed that what had happened just now had never happened, and his face was as faint as before.

Wang Yun knew that the Dharma King was acquiesced to continue negotiations with Emperor Song, so he said again: "The Emperor Song meant, something of gold and silver..."

“It depends on how much you want.”

Zhao Dongting spoke coldly and interrupted Wang Yun.

In fact, he didn't even want to give it to the Yuan Dynasty. However, he was helpless at the moment.

Just now, "I was angry and attacked my heart...", and Wang Yun was too much, and it was understandable that he was furious and Lu Xiufu and others would not think too much. Now the two sides began to negotiate calmly again. If he was reluctant to pay a little price, then Lu Xiufu and others would definitely think that he did not want Emperor Gong to come back at all. Although Zhao Dongting really didn't want it, this kind of thought could not be expressed on the surface.

Wang Yun was afraid that the Song Dynasty would give up Fujian Road or those craftsmanship. He did not hesitate at all and said directly: "One million taels of silver."

Negotiation is like bargaining. The Fujian Road, smelting technology, etc. he mentioned before is undoubtedly just the price on the label. The 10 million taels of silver mentioned at this time is the actual price.

But the price is not low.

The Song Dynasty was an era of vigorous reforms, with the people prosperous, but the treasury revenue was not too much. It was estimated that only a few million taels a year.

Although after the implementation of the paper currency system, a lot of gold and silver were hoarded in the treasury, this was the real hard currency. Giving it would be equivalent to digging meat.

Zhao Dongting's brows immediately frowned.

But below, Zhang Shijie and others were moved.

If Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Dowager Quan, and Emperor Gong could be welcomed back to the court, they would undoubtedly be willing to pay such a price.

These royal relatives were detained on the Mongolian Plateau, which was originally a shame to the Song Dynasty and a thorn in the hearts of these loyal ministers.

Zhao Dongting saw their expressions in his eyes, sighed quietly in his heart, and said, "Five million taels! This is my bottom line."

If this matter is not to be jealous of Lu Xiufu and others, Zhao Dongting is not willing to pay even half of his penny.

These five million can be considered as appeasement of court officials!

Wang Yun was slightly stunned. He probably didn't expect that Zhao Dongting would cut so hard in bargaining.

He looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Emperor Song, Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Gong and others spent a lot of money on food and clothing in our court over the years. You..."

Zhao Dongting's face remained cold, but he was still cold, "I said that this is my bottom line. No matter how long you talk, you will not have a single or a tael of silver."

He was not worried that the Yuan Dynasty would release Zhao Xian and others back.

These people are the real killer moves of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Shijie suddenly sighed softly, and his eyes were already a little complicated when he looked at Zhao Dongting.

They had not yet truly seen through the intentions of the Yuan Dynasty, and they were only full of thought that the emperor did not want Emperor Gong and others to return to the court. At this moment, their hearts were naturally extremely complicated.

Zhao Dongting's past actions made them convinced, but this time, they were probably quite complaining.

But Zhao Dongting no longer looked at them.

Wang Yun also sighed in his heart.

When Zhao Dongting was furious and calmed down, he realized that he had already fallen into a passive position in this negotiation.

How could he still have the confidence to bargain with Zhao Dongting now?

What should I do if Emperor Song gets angry again?

As Zhao Dongting expected, Kublai Khan did not care so much about the "compensation..." of the Song Dynasty.

Before Wang Yun was sent to the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan summoned him alone, and the meaning was just to say that if the Song Dynasty could give up Fujian Road or military crafts, it would be the best, but this possibility was not great. Just try your best to make the Song Dynasty burst into blood. This is also the reason why Wang Yun was very strong from the beginning. He wanted to scare Zhao Dongting and actually get Fujian Road or military crafts.

But of course I never thought that Zhao Dongting would pretend to be furious and show his power.

Looking at Zhao Dongting again, Wang Yun really doubted in his heart whether Zhao Dongting had seen through their intentions.

But Emperor Song is so old, does he really have such deep thoughts?

If this is true, then Emperor Song would be too terrible.

After a little hesitation, Wang Yun finally planned to give up, but naturally he would not agree immediately.

If you agree too simply, you will probably see something wrong by these officials of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the emperor's true intention will be noticed. Although you will not pay the money to release Zhao Xian and the Empress Dowager, the empress dowager will be able to get back the five million taels of silver.

So, after Wang Yun looked at Luo Tuo again, he said: "Emperor Song, I still need to ask the emperor for advice on this matter. Why would I reply to you in a few days? "

Luo Tuo still showed no sign of opening his mouth.

Zhao Dongting sneered in his heart.

He naturally understood that as an envoy and Luo Tuo was here, it was impossible for them to dare to make decisions about this matter. They were just embarrassed to agree immediately.

This is like asking for debts at home.

When I first arrived, I was very arrogant and asked someone to pay back all the money. As a result, if someone sent you three or two yuan of change, you ran away happily. What's this called?

Zhao Dongting had no intention of letting Wang Yun, the envoy, get out of Taiwan, nodded, "Okay. Now the New Year is approaching, and it's okay for all the envoys to celebrate the New Year in Changsha."

Of course, these words are just polite words, and even implicitly mocking.

It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry anyway.

However, what surprised Zhao Dongting was that Luo Tuo suddenly folded his hands together and nodded, "So, I thank Emperor Song for thanking him."

Then he stood up and said, "We'll take our leave first."

Luo Tuo took the lead in walking out of the hall.

Luo Zong Wuba and other Huang Sect disciples naturally followed quickly.
