The Han people supported the Persians, and the threat to the Parthian court was even higher than Rome!

After all, the Persis are also considered to rest in peace.If Persis defeated the Parthian court, it could only be regarded as a change of dynasty, not an alien invasion, and the resistance of the Parthians would be much smaller.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's move really hit Anxi's seven inches!

"Alright! Imperial Envoy Zhuge, you have won!"

The King of Kings gritted his teeth loudly, blood flowed from his heart, and said: "As long as the big man agrees, he will not make any transactions with the Persis. The treasures of the Wanbaotang... all belong to the big man!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Liang made an inch of progress, and said, "Now, there is only one condition left for my big man, please rest in peace. Exchange 20 billion drachmas for the captured eldest prince!"

"What? So far, you, Zhuge Liang, still expect this king to redeem Vologassis with 20 billion drachmas?" The king of kings is now completely angry, pointing to Zhuge Liang, and said: "This king has never I have seen such a shameless person!"

After a pause, he pointed to his second son again, and said, "Come here, Zhuge Liang, look, this man is my second prince, Artaban! If you are willing to give me 20 billion drachmas, My second son, just take it!

In addition, the eldest prince and the second prince are the legitimate sons of this king, and this king has dozens of concubines.

As long as you are willing to give 20 billion drachmas, you can take all of these dozens of bastards.For the sake of 20 billion drachmas, this king would rather kill off his sons and grandchildren! "

"Han envoy, you are really too much!"

"Could it be that you still want to buy and sell by force?"

"Two billion drachmas, are you poor and crazy?"

"Now, with regard to Rome and Persis, we have reached an agreement. I want to see, what else can you threaten me with?"

"Thinking to blackmail me to rest in peace for 20 billion is just a daydream!"

……

All the rest ministers finally waited for the opportunity to express their tough stance, and they all angrily reprimanded Zhuge Liang.

The expression on Zhuge Liang's face was still so relaxed.

After the voices of all the ministers in Anxi gradually faded, Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Everyone, don't be in a hurry to object. In fact, the third condition of my big man is also very beneficial to Anxi."

"Advantages? You guys extorted nearly [-] million taels of silver from my rest in peace, and you said it was good for me to rest in peace?" Su Lunbota, the Prime Minister of the Anxi Kingdom, laughed back angrily, and said, "Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, do you really think that you can rely on Is my three-inch tongue playing with me, the Anxi monarch and ministers, in the palm of my hand?"

"Of course not. But..."

"how?"

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "Everyone, please listen to this envoy speak slowly. I can assure you that after listening to this envoy's reason, you will agree to my third condition!"

"You speak!"

Chapter 444 Kneeling in peace: three major conditions, all accepted

Zhuge Liang said: "First, in the battle of the Amu Darya River, rest the captured people in peace, besides the eldest prince Vologasis, there are [-] elites.

My Majesty is extremely merciful and merciful, and cannot bear the separation of these resting soldiers.As long as Anxi is willing to redeem the eldest prince Vologasis, the [-] prisoners of war will be considered a leader and will be given to Anxi for nothing. "

Again, before the big man annexed Guishuang, he didn't want to weaken Anxi too much, so that the Romans or Sassan of Persis took advantage.

The return of these [-] prisoners of war has become the proper meaning of the title.

Of course, it will be a big question mark how much combat power these prisoners of war can play against the big men in the future.

Of course, this matter was a shocking joy for An Xi!

You must know that the entire population of Anxi will never exceed 700 million.Excluding the old man, the child, the woman, and the pernicious Persian, how many males are left?

The significance of the [-] elites to Anxi cannot be overstated.

"Return the 20 prisoners of war..." The King of Kings' eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed, and said bitterly: "Of course, this king hopes that the captured soldiers can return to the country. However, [-] billion drachmas, this king really takes Don't come out!"

"Of course I know that Anxi can't come up with so much money. But it doesn't matter, Anxi can take a loan?"

"Loan? Usury? No! Absolutely no! Even the interest of 20 billion drachmas, I can't afford it in Anxi."

Anxi's business is extremely developed, and the King of Kings is no stranger to usury.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, and said: "No! No! My big man's interest rate is not high at all. In fact, as long as I am allowed to open branches in Anxi, the 20 billion drachma interest, my big man Royal Bank can take nothing."

"No interest at all? Is there such a good thing?"

"It's absolutely true. So, in fact, the rest of the court only needs to pay back 2000 million drachmas to Dahan Royal Bank every year, for 100 years. What do you think of this deal, Your Majesty?"

"Just pay back 2000 million drachmas every year? I rest in peace with [-]% of the imperial court's income?" The King of Kings was a little moved at that time.

[-]% of the national treasury revenue, Anxi can fully take it out.

Moreover, the Anxi court can use the compensation as an excuse to demand that the Anxi area pay more tribute. In fact, the loss may not even reach [-]% of the annual income.

"Twenty million drachmas a year is about the same."

"It's been 100 years! Doesn't this mean that there is a hundred years of peace between me and the big man? It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

"For the sake of the eldest prince and 2000 soldiers, why should I pay [-] million silver coins to rest in peace?"

……

All the ministers in Anxi also talked a lot, and they also felt that Zhuge Liang's condition was very attractive.

Of course, Anxi is a great country in the world, how can there be no peerless wise men, peerless heroes?

"Bold! You Zhuge Liang, do you really think I'm at peace?"

Suddenly, an angry shout sounded in the hall,

The person who spoke was none other than Clennahan, the Minister of the Exchequer in Rest!

He was furious and said: "Zhuge Liang, don't think, I don't know, what happened to your big man's Royal Bank? Now less than [-]% of the real gold and silver circulating in your big man's territory.

Most of them are banknotes issued by your Dahan Bank!

If you let your Dahan Bank open to Anxi, wouldn't it mean that I would exchange real gold and silver for your Dahan's waste paper? "

That's right, in the 11 years since the founding of the Qin and Han Empires, most of the currency in circulation in the country has become banknotes issued by the Dahan Royal Bank.

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Rest, of course, Kronerhan has studied the Dahan Royal Bank and is very envious.

However, he found that the Anxi court could only envy such a good thing as a bank, but it was impossible to own it.

The reason is very simple. First, Anxi does not have good papermaking and printing techniques, so it cannot print banknotes.

Second, Anxi's various regions are independent, and the imperial court simply does not have enough authority to issue banknotes.

Third, even if Anxi can overcome these two conditions, it is impossible for the Anxi court to not issue banknotes indiscriminately like the Han court, and eventually these banknotes will still become waste paper.

It's good now, Anxi's bank can't be built, but Dahan's bank is about to open in Anxi.Is it intolerable or unbearable?

"Bold!" Zhuge Liang's face was solemn, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "The banknotes issued by my Dahan Royal Bank are guaranteed by your majesty's reputation, and the credit and tax revenue of the Han Dynasty court. You say that my Dahan banknotes are waste paper, yes Are you provoking the majesty of my big man?"

"Okay, I just made a mistake just now, so I apologize to the Han envoy!" Kronahan bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and continued: "But even so, the Dahan Royal Bank is still not allowed to operate in Anxi. Otherwise, dare Ask the envoy of the Han Dynasty, all the wealth of my Anxi people has been deposited in the Dahan Bank. If there is a war between Anxi and the Dahan, do they really want Anxi or the Dahan?"

Zhuge Liang asked back: "The imperial envoy dares to ask the Minister of Finance of Anxi, if there is a war between Anxi and Rome, will the Anxi people want their money to be stored in our Dahan Bank?"

"Of course I do!"

"Actually, it's not all a bad thing for Dahan Royal Bank to open a branch in my resting place!"

"For the sake of the eldest prince and the [-] soldiers, the third request of the big man should be granted!"

"It's just a big man's Royal Bank, can it be turned against the sky? The Minister of Finance is too worried!"

……

Clennahan has not yet expressed his position, and the rest of the ministers can't wait to speak in agreement.In the eyes of many people, light can be radiated.

Nonsense, two years ago, the Romans occupied half of the territory of Parthia, the capital of Parthia was lost, and many nobles of Parthia became impoverished.The Parthians are deeply painful to the Romans!

Just imagine, if two years ago, there was Dahan Royal Bank in Anxi territory?

The Romans dared to rob the Parthians of their property, but they might not be willing to set up such a strong enemy as the big man!

Isn't the safety of everyone's belongings guaranteed?

In the end, all the ministers bowed in unison, and said with one word: "For the sake of the eldest prince and the [-] soldiers, please agree to the third condition of the great man!"

"You...you..."

The king of rest kings Vologasis, the prime minister of rest, Sulun Berta, and the minister of finance, Krennahan, looked at each other with sadness in their hearts.

Of course they understand what kind of heart these noble people rest in peace.

Of course, they understand that agreeing to the third condition of the big man is completely drinking poison to quench their thirst!

However, the hearts of all officials are like this, and the situation in Anxi is like this, so what if they don't agree to the conditions of the big man?

In the end, the King of Kings nodded with difficulty, and said: "Okay! Very good! The man is really outstanding, and his eloquence is unparalleled. This king admires you! Zhuge Liang, you go back and tell your emperor that I will accept the three conditions he raised. Rest in peace... accept all!"

Chapter 445 The beauty of Baicheng, once in a thousand years

I did it!I did it!From now on, for me, Zhuge Liang, the name of Crouching Dragon really deserves it! "

Seeing that Anxi fully agreed to the three conditions he raised, Zhuge Liang's face did not change at all, but his heart was surging abnormally.

In fact, according to the instructions of the Dahan General Army Division, the content of the third agreement is only that the Dahan Royal Bank opened a branch in Anxi and asked Anxi to compensate Dahan for 2000 million drachmas in military expenses.

However, how can you show Wolong's ability just by completing the tasks assigned by the Han General Army Division Headquarters?Zhuge Liang directly increased the number of compensation by a hundred times!

Although between Dahan and Anxi, it is impossible to maintain 100 years of peace.The 20 billion drachmas may end up with only more than 1 million in the account.

But what about that?

Zhuge Liang made [-] million yuan for the big man with his lips when he went on an envoy, so why do you need a bicycle?

What happens today will surely be passed down through the ages!

Maybe, in the history of barnyard officials and unofficials of later generations, there will be a big book "Zhuge Liang's tongue war rests in peace, and [-] million people will be wiped out while talking and laughing", haha!

……

Just when Zhuge Liang was done, Sima Yi was also in the palace of Baicheng, carrying out the final blackmail of Siddaka, the new king of Baicheng.

By the way, Liu Yan worried that the Baicheng people would be unable to be the envoys of the Han Dynasty because of the lord's anger, which is purely unfounded.

Baicheng, the new king Siddaka, also participated in the battle of the Amu Darya.

In front of an army of 30 hundred chariots, he was announced by his elder brother Siddani as the prince of hundreds of chariots.

He watched helplessly as his elder brother, commanded by Siddani, was stabbed to death by a prairie general.

He experienced the disastrous defeat of the millions of coalition forces, and managed to escape.

This battle completely frightened Siddhartha into a fool.

Now, how dare he make things difficult for the Han envoy, and stroke the tiger's beard of the big man?

Of course, Siddhartha had just ascended the throne, and his position was unstable, so he always had to be wary of domestic public opinion.

Therefore, in the palace, he retreated the eunuchs and maids who were serving him, and summoned Sima Yi alone.

"Is that so..."

After listening to Sima Yi's conditions, Siddhartha's face was filled with embarrassment.

"The first three conditions of the great man are easy to say." Siddhartha said: "The first condition is to hand over all the southern islands occupied by Baicheng to the great man. The navy of the great Han is powerful, how can I toast and not eat fine wine?" ?

The second condition is to completely sever ties with Guishuang and Bodhi Xinzong, and this king can also agree.

To be honest, before the Battle of the Amu Darya, there was no enmity between the big man and my Baicheng.On the contrary, Guishuang has invaded our Baicheng territory and people several times before, and there is a lot of hatred between the two sides.It is unwise for Brother Wang to choose to be close to Guishuang and the big man as an enemy!

The third condition is to compensate the Dahan military expenditure of 5000 million silver coins and allow the Dahan Royal Bank to open a branch in Baicheng.This compensation is a little too much, but I try my best to raise it, so it is no problem.

There is only this fourth condition... I, Bai Cheng, surrendered to the big man, and this king will definitely not be able to do it! "

"Huh? Can't do it?" Sima Yi's complexion sank at that moment.

He said coldly: "Your Majesty, please think carefully. The Allied Forces of the Four Nations were defeated in the Amu Darya River, and Guishuang's fall is imminent. After my big man captures Guishuang, Baicheng will face my big man's soldiers. At that time, If you want to show your kindness to my big man again, it may not be as simple as submitting to me as a vassal!"

"Of course Xiaowang understands. But...but..." Siddhartha said bitterly: "Please understand the plight of Xiaowang, the envoy of Sima! Now that the bones of the former king are not cold, it's fine if I don't avenge the former king. The enemy country that killed the former king bowed its head and became a vassal. This... this... this king really has no way to explain to his subjects!"

"Hey, I, Sima Yi, understand your difficulties, why don't you understand my Sima Yi's difficulties?" Sima Yi said sadly: "If you refuse to bow down to my big man, how can I explain to the court of the great Han, how can I explain to your majesty? This matter will greatly affect my Sima Yi's future! Baicheng King, are you really going to end the grudge with me Sima Yi?"

"Sima Qin sent you...you..."

Of course Siddhartha understood the threat in Sima Yi's words.

If I had a personal feud with Sima Yi today.Even if Emperor Han didn't have much malice towards Baicheng in the future, Sima Yi would persuade Emperor Han to destroy Baicheng.

Even if he was captured by the Han army, he would submit to the big man.Sima Yi will also try every means to frame himself for treason, and his family will be wiped out!
