The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1004: Playing the Hooligan

Su Zan couldn't figure out Yun Zheng's real purpose.

After a moment of silence, Su Zan said with a smile: "It's not impossible, but I don't recommend that Your Majesty do this."

"Oh?"

Yun Zheng was puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Su Zan replied: "Your Highness, think about it. If we buy the grain from Xiuluo and then transport it to Shuobei or Northwest Protectorate, I'm afraid there won't be even one load left after transporting 20 loads of grain! This is really not worth it for Your Highness."

Su Zan deliberately exaggerated the loss of grain during transportation.

If Yun Zheng is really willing to spend the money, he wouldn't mind helping Yun Zheng.

Twenty loads of grain were purchased, and Xiqu took ten loads first, and then the rest was transported over. In the end, the amount of grain that fell into Yun Zheng's hands was less than one load!

He wanted to see how much silver Yun Zheng had to buy food.

The more Yun Zheng buys, the more Xiqu earns.

What Xiqu gained was many times what Yun Zheng gained!

Why not do such a good thing?

"Is the loss so great?"

Yun Zheng frowned and muttered to himself: "It seems that I can only act like a hooligan..."

Su Zan's face twitched violently when he heard this.

Playing hooligan?

Is Yun Zheng planning to rob openly?

Moreover, he actually said it in front of him?

Facing Su Zan's gaze, Yun Zheng suddenly came to his senses and quickly explained: "Don't be too much, Prime Minister. What I mean by playing rogue is that I intend to do business with you."

"Business?"

Su Zan took a sip of tea and asked, "What business?"

Yun Zheng slowly picked up the teacup and looked at Su Zan with a playful look. "Prime Minister, let's not beat around the bush. You and I both know how King Hun Gu died! Now, I have taken the blame for you. Do you think you should give me some compensation? As long as the compensation is enough, I will continue to take the blame for you!"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Su Zan couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Playing hooligan!

He is indeed a hooligan!

Yun Zheng really did everything he could to get food!

"Your Majesty, this is wrong!"

Su Zan said with a smile: "If the prince had not sent people to Xiqu to sow discord, even if we wanted the prince to take the blame, we wouldn't have had the opportunity, right?"

"When did the king send someone to sow discord?"

Yun Zheng flatly denied it and said with confidence: "Since I have signed an agreement with you, I will definitely not do these things in secret!"

"If there really is someone trying to sow discord, it must be someone sent by my third brother!"

"This king estimates that the third brother is planning to secretly send people to Xiqu to sow discord between you, which can not only alienate the relationship between this king and you, but also cause internal strife among you!"

"This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. Don't be fooled, Daxiang!"

Looking at Yun Zheng's serious expression, Su Zan's face twitched again.

At this moment, Su Zan really wanted to applaud.

The horse bandit issue was Louyi's fault, and the dissension was caused by Yunli!

So shameless and blatant!

If you don’t know, you would really think that these things have nothing to do with him!

Su Zan looked at Yun Zheng with admiration and said sternly, "Whether it's the prince or the crown prince of Daqian, I'm sorry that I really can't agree to what the prince said."

"Da Xiang, this is where you are wrong!"

Yun Zheng was unhappy. "I have always been upright and aboveboard, but now I have been blamed for you for no reason. You don't even give me a little compensation. Isn't that unreasonable? Aren't you clearly bullying me?"

bully you?

Who the hell can bully you?

It's obvious that you are being a hooligan!

You let it slip yourself before!

Su Zan cursed in his heart, but his face was bitter, "Who in this world dares to bully the prince? But the prince asked us for compensation, which is really a bit unreasonable."

"How can this be called forcing someone to do something difficult?"

Yun Zheng said seriously: "Didn't I say it before? We are doing business here! Anyway, I don't get along with the Third Brother. As long as you compensate me, I will take the blame for the Third Brother!"

"This won't affect the relationship between Saint King Xiqu and his son-in-law, right?"

"You know, if the people in Hun Gu knew that it was the Third Brother who sent people to kill the King of Hun Gu and Jia Si Ba, and your Holy King married Princess Yang Jin to the Third Brother, wouldn't the people in Hun Gu suspect that this was a conspiracy between you and the Third Brother?"

"By then, won't those who were originally loyal to King Hun Gu rebel?"

Threat!

Su Zan heard that Yun Zheng was threatening them!

However, does Yun Zheng think that such a little trick can threaten them?

If those people in Hun Gu want to rebel, they must have the strength to do so!

Su Zan did not confront Yun Zheng directly. Instead, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for considering us. However, I really cannot agree to this compensation!"

"What you mean is, you are clearly going to bully this king?"

Yun Zheng frowned, his face suddenly falling, "Prime Minister, I just have other things to do. I don't want to go to war with Xiqu, not that I don't dare to go to war with you!"

"It won't be good for the prince to go to war with us!"

Su Zan seemed not to be afraid of Yun Zheng's threats at all.

"not necessarily!"

Yun Zheng shook his head with a cold look in his eyes. "If I write to the court and promise the court benefits, and attack Xiqu from both sides, the court may agree!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's threat, Su Zan's eyelids suddenly jumped.

Although the possibility of the Daqian court cooperating with Yun Zheng to attack Xiqu from both sides is very small, it is not impossible!

To the Daqian court, even if Yun Zheng has his own army, he is still a Daqian man.

But they are foreigners!

If they really launched an attack on Xiqu together, Xiqu would almost certainly be defeated!

In this matter, if you win the bet, everything will be fine.

If you lose the bet, you lose everything!

You can gamble, but don’t gamble easily!

The best outcome is to let Yun Zheng confront the Daqian court, while Xiqu can just watch the show with peace of mind.

Wait until Xiqu stabilizes its internal affairs and reorganizes its army, and then we will annihilate them all in one fell swoop!

After thinking silently for a while, Su Zan frowned and asked, "What compensation does the prince want?"

Let’s take a look at Yun Zheng’s appetite first.

If Yun Zheng has a small appetite, then satisfy him first.

If Yun Zheng's appetite is too big, then he can only take a gamble!

Yun Zheng's frown immediately relaxed, "Just one million dan of grain!"

"impossible!"

Su Zan refused without a second thought, "How can our dynasty have so much food? Even if I agree, our dynasty cannot provide so much food!"

It goes without saying that what Yun Zheng wants is to get one million dan of grain.

If we take into account the consumption during transportation, even if we mobilize grain from nearby and transport it only to Xing'an Fort or Sawtooth Ridge, it will cost at least two million dan.

If it was transported from Xiqu Royal City, the price would probably be many times higher.

Even if they could buy a large amount of food from Xiuluo, they couldn't withstand such a hassle!

Yun Zheng smiled, "What do you think is appropriate, Prime Minister?"

"At most... 300,000 dan!" Su Zan replied.

He originally wanted to say 100,000 dan.

But thinking that 100,000 dan was too little, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Six hundred thousand dan!"

Yun Zheng bargained: "Actually, I am not interested in this little grain. I just want your country to show its attitude!"

"The Prime Minister also knows that the reason why I can stand firm is that I don't care about life and death, and I will fight if I don't obey!"

"I have been bullied. If I don't even say a word, I won't be able to face these soldiers!"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Su Zan couldn't help but curse him in his heart as shameless.

But then again, don't care about life or death, just fight if you don't agree.

This is indeed in line with Yun Zheng's temperament.

Yun Zheng needs to recuperate and fight for the throne, and Xiqu also needs to recuperate and consolidate its internal affairs.

Exchanging 600,000 dan of grain for temporary peace is currently in the interests of Xiqu.

However, this food cannot be given to him so easily!

Su Zan thought silently for a moment and replied, "We really can't gather 600,000 dan of grain in a short time! How about this, we give 300,000 dan first, and then after this season's grain harvest, we will give another 300,000 dan!"

In this way, they can greatly reduce the loss of food during transportation.

Yun Zheng thought about it and agreed readily.
