Chapter 714: All Misunderstandings in Compensation for Cessation(2/3)
"I don't have much cash. I have the certificate from the Tang Dynasty Money House. Here... there is one... there is one of them 57,000 guan. Do you think it's done?"
Takeshita took out a handful of existence certificates from his arms, found a similar number in it, and asked in his hand.
"I won't take advantage of you, take it. It's a big amount. Others can't take it out. I can take it out. There are still 7,000 guan left. I'll give you a plate of soy sauce. Is it good? Eat buns with soy sauce or it's okay to change it to vinegar. Which one do you like to eat?"
As soon as Xiao Bei waved his hand, someone immediately brought soy sauce and vinegar. There was no one on her table. The braised salty and light in the egg custard was just right, and the salty and light in the buns were also put.
"It's better to have soy sauce for vinegar." When people heard from Takeshita that Qiqianguan bought a plate of soy sauce, they thought it was the most expensive soy sauce in the world, and it was not like buns. The buns were made by Zhang Xiaobao, and the soy sauce was definitely not brewed by Zhang Xiaobao himself.
In fact, he likes to eat it with vinegar, but now he has to choose soy sauce. His body is almost dehydrated. If he doesn't replenish some salt, he probably will faint before he can tell anything.
Another plate was brought over, and Zhuxia took it to his hand. He poured the soy sauce into the plate of the buns and put the two plates together so that he could eat the buns with his hands.
Xiaobei also took the deposit certificate from the money shop and looked at it. It was not fake. She put it aside and said to Takeshita: "Eat it, I will eat it too. After eating, we will discuss other things."
After saying that, she lowered her head and ate it, and no longer cared about Takeshita.
Takeshita pinched the buns with his hands and ate them, but he didn't eat them too quickly. He was a bite of bread that could be eaten one by one. He shaved it bit by bit with his teeth, and needed to see how fast Xiaobei was eating, so that he could finish it together.
As soon as the bun was in the mouth, the bamboo took a deep breath and admitted in his heart that what Zhang Xiaobao made for his sister was really good, with pork and shrimp stuffing, half a shrimp, and a little pork in the bun, with a fresh and fragrant taste.
I have never eaten such delicious buns before. It is indeed the finest life of rich people and can no longer be described as luxury.
Xiao Bei didn't eat fast or slow. After waiting for the meal, he rinsed his mouth and wiped his mouth. Then he said to Takeshita, who had just finished eating five small buns and felt even hungry, "What did you do when you see me?"
Takeshita returned the plate to the person next to him, made an expression that I was very wronged, and replied: "I came here to clarify a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding?" Xiao Bei asked anxiously.
"It is a misunderstanding about the misunderstanding of the disobedient people from our country coming to the Tang Dynasty and causing losses to the Tang Dynasty. What they did have been unclear in our country and did not tell us at all. I have always represented it in the Tang Dynasty. If I knew it in the Tang Dynasty, I would also know it.
Since they have caused you losses, I want to emphasize that it is not what the emperor of our country allows, but their own actions. Please do not retaliate against our country."
Takeshita said shirking responsibility, staring at Xiaobei, wanting to see Xiaobei's reaction, he would never admit that he knew it, but he would not stop it.
Xiao Bei has been with his brother recently and has learned a lot of knowledge, which is specifically diplomatic, and he seems much more calm. If it were before, she would have shouted angrily, saying that it was not a misunderstanding.
But today she nodded, looking like she agreed with what Takeshita said, and immediately turned into a painful expression, saying, "It is indeed someone who came here to make trouble. Not only did the people from your country come by themselves, but they also united other countries to look for opportunities to plot against us in the Tang Dynasty.
It caused us great losses, acted very badly, and had extremely high goals. It was an organized and premeditated war event between countries.
It not only caused direct money losses to our Tang Dynasty, but also caused life losses to the people of our Tang Dynasty. In terms of money, we lost 100 million yuan at a time, and the losses that continued in other aspects are immeasurable.
It made us very sad and angry. For this, I first expressed strong condemnation and protest, and at the same time emphasized that this was an act of war. We have the ability and determination to make up for this loss through other acts and give an explanation to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
You should return to your country as soon as possible, tell your emperor what I mean, let him explain it to us to satisfy us, and ensure that the same thing will not happen again in the future, and stop the cliff.”
Takeshita was already looking down on Xiaobei in his heart, but he still expressed a surprised expression at this moment. Is this still a child? If you ask an official from the court, you probably can't even say it. Could it be that he memorized it in advance?
Thinking in his heart, Takeshita Lu showed an equally sad expression, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, we are willing to find a way to compensate the losses caused to the Upper Kingdom, only 100 million yuan..."
"The loss directly on money is 100 million yuan, and there are indirect losses. When a place becomes chaotic, it is not just about spending money to do it. It takes time and more energy. It takes many other important things to disrupt the original plan.
At the same time, because of your actions, it takes a long time for the people to be lost to make up for the people. People are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat. Maybe it will happen in the future. It is difficult. It is really difficult to calm down.
Therefore, we will not only accept 100 million yuan in compensation for losses, but we need mental compensation, which cannot be achieved by a little money. For example, Xunyang, when I went over and exploded me, but although I did not kill me, it also left trauma in my young heart that was difficult to heal.
The people of Xunyang have formed a group to fight against the court. We are almost exhausted to appease them. As for Duchang, Hangzhou, and other people who are in chaos in Jiangnan, you must give more compensation.
Otherwise, it will have a very bad impact on the relationship between our two countries. We love peace, but we are absolutely not afraid of war. We are willing to shed the last drop of blood for dignity."
Before Takeshita finished speaking, Beckham interrupted the other party's money-lost thing, repeated the losses suffered by his country, and at the same time showed a vague attitude.
Takeshita was stunned. He had confirmed that no one taught her to me what the child in front of him said first, but she thought about it.
Otherwise, the person who teaches her to memorize can only calculate every word she says.
With a shock, Takeshita felt that it was also an opportunity now. If the answer was correct, he could satisfy Beckham, and maybe he could stabilize it and avoid war.
But he would never agree with the loss he said so much. The 100 million guan said before was simply wrong. 100 million guan, not 100 million guan, just a part of the Jiangnan area. If you lose 100 million guan in such a small matter, how much will your country's income in the Tang Dynasty be in a year? Wouldn't it cost hundreds of billion guan?
As for the people in Xunyang who are united, they do see it themselves, but the people in Xunyang who are united are not to rebel, but to build the entire place better.
There is no need to say anything else, it gives people the feeling that it is as if nothing has happened, stability and unity. If you have to say anything, you will definitely become more cohesive than before.
Thinking of this in my heart, Takeshita knew that he could not say it, so he said, "Yes, it caused great losses to your country. We are willing to compensate, but our country does not have much money, and you should also be clear that a lot of the power in our country is not fully controlled by the Emperor. There are also internal struggles, and we cannot raise enough money for a while.
But we are willing to compensate with everything we have. What do you think we should do? Importantly, just don’t continue to start a war against us.”
"Will to compensate? OK, I have to wait until I turn back and ask the emperor. I don't know what to exchange for it, but you don't need to worry. It's just two points, one is to cede land and the other is to pay compensation. I won't bring all your land. As for war, I have said just now, we love peace and will not start a war."
When Xiaobei was talking, she felt thirsty and looked at the person next to her. The man didn't need Xiaobei's instructions and immediately knew what Xiaobei needed, so she quickly got the iced sour plum soup.
Takeshita swallowed again and spitted. He hadn't drunk water for a long time before he came. When he was eating buns just now, he found that he was fooled. The saltiness in the buns was just right, but he poured the soy sauce on it and couldn't help but not eat it. After eating it, he found that he was even more thirsty.
"Do you want a bowl? But my brother made it for me personally. I'll take a bit cheaper for you, 30,000 yuan. Is there any? I'll discuss things while drinking."
Xiao Bei saw that the other party was thirsty and asked with concern.
Takeshita's purpose was to bribe, nod, take out money, find two vouchers of 20,000 yuan, and say, "Forty thousand yuan, I don't have zero."
"If you don't take advantage of you, add two more pieces of ice to you and give you a 10,000 yuan penny. Let's drink it. If you didn't meet me, you would have to have a dream if you want to eat ice in your current place. Although the price is a little higher, it is not too much.
When you are in the desert, when you are about to die of thirst, give you a bowl of life-saving water. How much do you think it is worth? If your life is gone, the money in your arms will be taken away, right?"
Xiao Bei took a sip of sour plum soup and told people that the inexpensive explanation she wanted.
"It's not expensive, life is the most important thing. We talked about compensation before. We are willing and hope that your country will withdraw its troops and not attack us."
Takeshita talked about his purpose again.
"We haven't attacked you, let alone sent troops. How could you say that?" Xiao Bei blinked and asked suspiciously.
"How could it be that there is no one? You Luzhou dispatched two fleets, and the fleet of Jilizhou also began to move towards the outer sea. There were also soldiers from Youzhou heading towards the Bohai Governor's Office, and the people from the East of Shannan also headed towards the Huainan Road. In addition, the things transported by your logistics from other places were gathering towards Hangzhou, and there were hot air balloons in the sky.
If you are putting on such a battle, are you really guarding your mother and going to the Bohai Governor's Office to pick pine nuts?"
Takeshita didn't care about anything else and immediately told what he had learned.
Bei blinked: "There is such a thing? Oh, then you are right. It's really as you thought. We don't plan to attack you. Otherwise, we should withdraw our people from you and then take action. What if you kill them one by one?
Misunderstanding, you misunderstand, you have to believe us, just as I just believed the misunderstanding you said, we must live in peace, don’t worry, just follow us, I will take you to Luzhou to see the sea view.
I was born in Luzhou. At that time, I didn’t know how to see the scenery. I had no impression of it. I often listened to the sound of the sea tides, the sky or the birds were looking forward to it, and the song was even stronger. Go, the money you brought on the road was probably enough."
Cold sweat came out from the bottom of the boat, which made the body cooler. He looked at Xiaobei in surprise and said, "We already know that we were wrong. Don't hit it anymore. It's not a misunderstanding. It's definitely not. Do you believe that your family has deployed so many people, which is a misunderstanding that can be explained?"
"Why can't it? I believe what you said, and you should believe me, put your heart in mind. Is the misunderstanding you said false? It was not Yamamoto's own decision, but you arranged them to come and start the war?"
Bei Bei asked back.
Takeshita was speechless for a moment, and he was talking all the time and putting himself in again. Why didn’t he blow this smart child in front of him to death?
"You can't speak, it's really your intention. No, I want to talk to my brother and my sister to send troops. You are so bad. You know, you are pretending to be confused with me and want to lie to me as a child, hum!"
As Xiao Bei spoke, he planned to get up and leave.
Takeshita quickly stopped him: "No, I didn't lie to you, we really don't know. Later I found out that we should borrow a hundred courages from us, so we dare not cause trouble for you."
"It's about starting a war." Bei stressed.
"Yes, yes, it's a war. We dare not discuss it easily, everything is easy to discuss." Takeshita said as Xiaobei said.
In my heart, I hated those who supported Yamamoto in China. Didn’t you say that the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight too much food and could not draw out its troops before fighting, and to fight for a full-scale war? What should I do now? Look at the reaction of others. Just after the arrest of the people, the team was dispatched.
"It's really not intentional? Then... Well, I'll give you a chance. You'll go back now and tell your emperor that we won't start a war lightly, but we will send troops with caution. If we can't give us a satisfactory reply, we do not guarantee that any officers and soldiers in the army who do not obey orders violate the order and go out to fight in person."
Xiao Bei showed an understanding and helpless attitude.
"It must be, but it's too late. It takes a long time for me to go to the beach in Hangzhou from here. When I return from Hangzhou, I will have to waste too much time. If your army, oh, is an officer or a soldier who does not obey the order, rushes over from here, what should I do?
Can you first strengthen the discipline of the army, persuade the officers and soldiers with other thoughts, stop them, and give me some time to go back."
Takeshita begged him, he was really afraid that the Tang Dynasty would launch an attack regardless of everything. Even if the gunboats could not run to land, the seaside would be lost, and the Tang army would continue to send it over. How to face the guns and cannons with flesh and blood?
Xiao Bei also looked anxious and helped him think for a while, and said, "I'll give you an idea, are you rich? Let's rent you a hot air balloon and let you fly to Hangzhou quickly. When you arrive in Hangzhou, you will rent you a speedboat. You can rush back to China and discuss with your people.
When you are on the way, we sort out the losses and tell you the compensation you need. You pass them to your people to see if they can accept it. Don’t worry, before you go back and have a result, we try our best to suppress the officers and soldiers below and prevent them from getting messed up.
But, it must be fast, at most three months. I hope you can return to the Tang Dynasty and discuss with us with sincerity. Do you think it is good? One million yuan, we will be responsible for your safety on the way."
When Takeshita heard the amount, he knew that the other party was deliberately asking for more money, but he had no choice. He originally wanted to bribe and then express his attitude, and the Tang Dynasty immediately took back the army.
Now it seems that I am really naive. The little money I bring is not enough for the other party to change his mind, and the other party asks for more.
But there is no other way except this. Maybe no one in China has discovered the actions of the Tang Dynasty. It is best to go back quickly and let those who support Yamamoto understand the seriousness of the matter.
He took out all the money, counted it, and held it with the banknotes he put it on, and handed it to the person next to him, saying, "I don't have a million guan on my body, and now I have more than 350,000 guan on my hand. Can the others be owed credit first and put it in compensation later."
"Is it okay? It's OK, but it's not included in the compensation. It has nothing to do with the compensation. I'm going to arrange it for you. The money belongs to me. You write an IOU. If you don't come back and give me the money, I'll dispatch my Medal Protection Team and come to you to ask for it in person. If you can't take it out, I care about your Emperor's request. Even if you die, he will have to give me the money."
Xiao Bei asked for regret, and someone brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write an IOU under the bamboo.
Takeshita sighed and lowered his head to start writing. He felt very sad in his heart. It was like this. He knew that people were bullied, but he did not dare to resist. Otherwise, the country would be destroyed directly. Although he did that, the Tang Dynasty would probably fight, and it would be difficult to eat more food. Give more time to prepare for more food.
But who knows how Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan considered it?
After writing the IOU, Takeshita suddenly felt that his country was bullied, so he said to Xiaobei: "I heard about this before I came, and other countries have also participated. We cannot let them go. Ours is a misunderstanding, but theirs is definitely not."
"I can't care. I need to ask my brother and sister. I will pass your words over and see what else to clean up. If not, I will let someone raise the hot air balloon."
Bei Bei took the voucher for saving money, as well as money, and the IOU written by Takeshita, and said to him.
Takeshita was anxious and didn't need to clean up anything. He left with the person and rode the hot air balloon, and wanted to rush back as quickly as possible. As for the compensation conditions passed down by the Tang Dynasty on the way, he didn't need to consider it. Anyway, he did everything he should do, and life and death depended on the ideas of the people in China.
