Chapter 909: A Gentleman Loves Money And Gets It Right

Xu Qing said: "I'd like to hear about it."

Ge Luodao; "If my investigation is correct, the contract signed between your country and Zhao should be that your country will send troops to aid when Zhao is invaded by an enemy country."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, I wonder if you have any business to do with Chu State?"

Ge Luo continued to speak: "How about this, Chu State is now leading the army to go around the border and then go back, I will promise to withdraw the troops immediately, so that Chu State will not only get five million from Zhao State in addition to military expenses The two also got military food from Zhao Guo, which can be described as a huge profit!"

Xu Qing felt something was wrong when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Five million taels? Where did the five million taels come from? After deducting the military expenses, when will our country of Chu report to you?" Zhao Guo wants five million taels?"

Seeing Xu Qing's surprised expression, Ge Luo couldn't help but said: "At the beginning, Zhao Guo sent envoys to Chu to negotiate, and then your country temporarily borrowed military expenses and five million taels from Zhao Guo on the grounds of treasury difficulties. For emergency use, what is recorded in the letter of credence handed over by Minister Qin should be discussed by Lord Hou as the official envoy with Zhao Guo, how could Lord Hou not know that this happened by himself?"

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "At the beginning, I obviously asked for two million taels! Who knows why it became five million taels in Zhao country!"

Ge Luo couldn't help but startled when he heard Xu Qing's words: "After the letter of credence was passed back to Zhao Guo, it passed through Prime Minister Qin's hand, that is to say, Prime Minister Qin was greedy for three million taels?"

Xu Qing slapped the table and said, "This traitor is even darker than me! How dare he? The two million taels were temporarily borrowed by our state of Chu, and he dared to increase the price without permission? He is not afraid of being paid back by the state of Chu." When the account is not correct?"

Ge Luo was surprised: "Does your country still plan to pay back the money?"

Xu Qing said: "Of course I don't intend to pay it back."

Ge Luodao; "It is precisely because Prime Minister Qin is sure that your Chu State will definitely not pay back the money, that Prime Minister Qin is so relieved to increase the price."

I have to say, hearing this made Xu Qing feel very uncomfortable. Could it be that their character in Chu State is so bad?

Just after borrowing from Prime Minister Qin, you are sure that Chu will not pay back the money?

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I will have to make this Prime Minister Qin spit out all the profits he ate from me!"

With Xu Qing's calculation, he lost a total of three million taels!

If he was in the country, the three million taels would be three million taels. Anyway, it belonged to the treasury and not his, so there was no need to feel sorry for him.

But after leaving the country, he began to feel that he and Chu State were actually one. Chu State lost three million taels and he felt the same as losing three million taels.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, adjusted his own mood, looked at Ge Luo and said, "As soon as my country of Chu arrives, you will retreat?"

Ge Luo opened his mouth and said: "I guarantee that as soon as the army of Chu State reaches the border of Zhao State, I, Shezhao, will retreat immediately. Chu State will never suffer any casualties, but your country will not be able to chase it."

Xu Qing said: "Then the land you occupied can be returned to me in the Central Plains?"

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Ge Luo shook his head and said, "Those lands were also hard-earned by our Shezhao Kingdom, and the manpower and material resources invested in it were even more unimaginable. How could they be returned so easily? Besides, these lands belong to Zhao Kingdom." The land you own is not your country's land, so why care so much about it?"

Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "All the land in the Central Plains has been the inherent territory of our Chu State since ancient times!"

Although Ge Luo was very displeased with Xu Qing's brazenness, he began to ask, "What is your country talking about? You must know that the two states occupied by our country are not considered rich in Zhao State. I have a plan to guarantee Your country and She Zhao use the land of these two prefectures to seek greater benefits."

Xu Qing said, "I want to hear what you have to say."

Ge Luodao; "Now Zhao's elite is almost exhausted in the process of fighting against King Ming. Zhao has no power to stop Shezhao, let alone your power, but your country can't use it because of the contract. The soldiers went south and seized the land that could have belonged to the Chu State, which reduced a lot of taxes."

"But if it's the other way around, cooperate with our Shezhao, and our Shezhao will attack Zhao. If Zhao is unable to fight, he will ask your country for help. Your country can take the opportunity to ask for Zhao's money. When your country comes, our Shezhao will withdraw immediately. How much silver taels can your country demand from Zhao after ten years like this? Presumably Hou Ye is also very tempted, right?"

Xu Qing said: "Even if what you said is true, the money is still the imperial court's money, so what does it have to do with me?"

Ge Luo laughed and said, "This is the second condition. The Marquis should also know that my Shezhao has already occupied the two prefectures of Zhao State. From now on, I am willing to share the taxes of these two states with your country fifty-fifty. How much tax will the two states have in a year, the Marquis must have a bottom line in his mind, right?"

After Xu Qing heard Ge Luo's words, he smiled and said, "Half the tax for the land of the two states, this condition is very tempting."

Seeing Xu Qing's answer, Ge Luo hurriedly asked, "Then Lord Hou agreed?"

Xu Qing asked back: "Do you think this Marquis is the one who is short of money? I, Chu State, just wandered around the border of Zhao State and then went back. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the world to do business. Hand over this The land of the two states annexed by the war, our country of Chu will withdraw its troops. If not, Shezhao will wait to meet with the country of Chu!"

Seeing Xu Qing speak so ruthlessly, Ge Luo sighed and said, "Master Hou should understand that this matter is mutually beneficial for us, why are you so aggressive?"

Xu Qing sneered and said, "It's reasonable for you to invade our territory in the Central Plains? This Marquis told you that the territorial issue has never been an issue that can be discussed! Chu and all the people in the Central Plains will definitely guarantee the territorial integrity of our Central Plains! Return the world A clear world!"

After all, Xu Qing left the table.

It's true that Xu Qing is greedy for money, but he still has a good idea of ​​what money should be earned and what should not be earned.

Exchange land sovereignty for money?

This is to be nailed to the pillar of shame by future generations!

If Xu Qing agrees, textbooks a thousand years from now may criticize him as the number one traitor.

Xu Qing is neither short of money nor status at this time, as long as Xu Qing still has brains, she will never agree to such absurd things!

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way!
