Lord Harland.

After Li Cha came back, he immediately told Sophia and William what happened in this operation.

The Harland family has three hereditary barons, and they can quickly make this matter a big deal at the noble meeting by submitting a joint letter.

Howard is still in their hands, and the investigation through this line is not afraid that Jerram will deny it.

But in this way, the Harland family offended Prince Felix and was passively involved in the prince's struggle for the throne, which was not a good thing for future development.

But being attacked by men hired by Jerram, the Harland family couldn't bear this tone.

Besides, the Sixth Squadron died in this battle. Even if he tried his best to offend the nobles of the capital, Li Cha still wanted to get rid of Jerram.

After discussing with Sophia and William, the Harland family agreed.

Just before Richard was about to go to the capital to sue, the middleman Jerram found came to Fort William.

This person is none other than Richard's old officer, Sharp.

Jerram felt uneasy. He knew that he had been caught by Richard. If he did not deal with this problem, his life would be threatened. So, he decided to find Sharp as a middleman to negotiate with Richard.

He hoped to control this matter and confine it to Gerda province.

Sharp is Richard's old officer.

Although Sharpafell's Joint Territory is under the management of the Gascoigne Province, Sharp has been an official in the northern border for many years, and his network resources are very rich. He has also met Jeram in the same Gadda Province several times. .

After Jerram came to the door, Sharp learned about the matter. After thinking for a while, he agreed to help him talk to Richard and promised to control the negotiation between the three of them and not let anyone else know about it. existence of things.

Later, Sharp came to Harland's territory.

Sharp, like Richard, has a military style and doesn't like to hide his words. He speaks very directly.

"I am here this time to be a middleman at the request of the senior official of your province, Jerram. He is very sorry about your being attacked. But he hopes that this matter can be controlled within the province. What do you have? You can talk to him if you want."

"How to talk, where to talk?"

"Li Cha, now that you have seized Jerram's handle, you have already taken advantage.

How to talk?

What conditions?

Where to negotiate? It all depends on your opinion. "

In the communication between the nobles, interests have always come first.

After thinking deeply, Li Cha felt that negotiation was the best way to deal with it.Even though he hated Jerram very much in his heart, he still had to negotiate when it was time to negotiate.

After all, although the two sides had a grudge, no important figure in the Harland family died at the hands of Jerram.

Not to the point where hatred cannot be resolved. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which have deep feuds like the sea, can negotiate, let alone this small hatred.

Now Richard has grasped Jerram's handle. As long as he seizes the right time, he can get more benefits from Jeram and speed up the development of the territory.

The venue for the negotiations was Vicksburg.

After being attacked by Jerram's men, Richard paid great attention to his own safety, and the negotiation must be held in the Harland family's own castle.

Jerram did not come to negotiate in person, and the representative of the Holland family was his butler Saville.

"Baron Richard, as long as you can bring Howard back, you can negotiate any conditions?"

"What about the redemption price of thirty thousand gold coins?"

"It can be said that after Howard is free, we will pay the ransom."

"I am very pessimistic about Jerram's character by hiring mercenaries to attack nobles. It is impossible for me to release him first, you must pay first."

Paying the money first means that you must believe in Richard's character. Thirty thousand gold coins is a very large amount of money for the barony.

The barony in the south, because of its relatively small territory, has an annual income of less than 10,000 gold coins.

Although the baron in the northern region has a large territory, there are few people, and they are often poorer.

If Li Cha did not engage in extra income such as steelmaking and wine making, but relied on growing food, even if all the paddy fields in the territory were reclaimed, tens of thousands of people would be busy for a year, and after deducting the rations, the income from selling food would only be a few thousand gold coins.

Thousands of gold coins also need to raise an army, communicate with other nobles, and integrate into the noble circle.

Books need to be collected, tutors need to be hired, and the administrators of the territory need to be paid.

I have been so busy for a year that I can’t save much money at all.

Even if gold coins raise the treatment of the soldiers in the territory to the same level as the main army, the soldiers of the seven squadrons can be supported for two years.

There is no mutual trust between the two parties now, and Savile dare not agree to pay the money first.

In the end, it was Baron Sharp who vouched for Richard and allowed Savile to step down.

With Baron Sharp's guarantee and agreeing to pay the money first, Saville wanted to bargain with Richard to lower the price.

One afternoon, Li Cha didn't say a word, but put on a dirty face.No matter how much Saville spit, he won't let go of what he said.

At the end of the meeting, Richard sneered and said: "Mr. Saville, go and tell Jerram that thirty thousand gold coins cannot be less than a penny. If it weren't for the face of Mr. Sharp, I would definitely ask Jerram this time." Mum looks good.

Didn't you also arrange for a master to hide in the dark?Can you try to get this guy a shot?

You have to understand that your Huolan family is not the only one who can use dark methods, everyone can use assassination.

You can take this sentence as my threat that this matter will not be resolved. Not only will I sue the House of Lords, but I will use any rules to resolve the problem. "

Hearing what Richard said, Saville was shocked.Saville was sent by the Holland family to help Jeram, of course he was very smart, and he immediately obtained hidden information from Richard's voice.

"Li Cha knows that Simon is hiding in the dark. There are only two possibilities. The first is that there are spies arranged by Li Cha beside Simon, and the second is that Li Cha's mental power exceeds points and he has awakened the talent of danger perception.

The Harland family is just a small noble and has no foundation in the royal capital. It is impossible to know that Simon exists. It seems that Richard's mental power has exceeded twenty points and he has been promoted to an intermediate professional. He is still so young, and offending such a person may not be a good thing for the Holland family in the long run. "

Li Cha's words were so harsh that it immediately made it difficult to continue the negotiation.

Savile continued to pester for two or three days, and saw that Richard was impatient and had already shown his unwillingness to negotiate.

Jerram was caught by Richard and was naturally at a disadvantage in the negotiations. Savile knew this very well, so the only one who gave in in the end was the Holland family.

At the end of the negotiation, the two sides reached a verbal agreement.

Jerram compensated Harland's territory with gold coins. Richard released Howard and did not pursue this matter any longer.
