Mr. Yangui

Chapter 447 Chapter Forty-Seven
Li Wuchang smiled lightly, and said: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xue is a good hand at observing words and deeds, maybe it's like what you think!"

After a random sentence, he continued: "However, since Mr. Xue came in person today, it shows that Governor Yun still cares about the two thousand captives and does not want them all to die unexpectedly. This makes Lu very pleased.

Of course, it's not that Lu has a kind heart... After all, this is also considered a gain for Lu!

Mr. Xue also said just now that everyone has a younger brother to raise, right? "

The group now has a lot of wealth.

Although Er Lengzi Village was ransacked by Lu Xuandong once, a batch of gold and silver treasures were hidden in a dark corner of Nanshan, and they escaped the catastrophe.

In Hongnong, a group of Zhang family was robbed. The wealth was collected by the Zhang family in the west of Hongnong under the banner of Zhang Xiu. At that time, Li Wuchang used a trick and killed many people in the Zhang family to get it.

At the beginning of the incident, Li Wuchang sent people to rob the farms of the major families in Yongzhou several times, and made a lot of money.

Help Zhu Changlong capture Hongnong City and get another batch.

Attacking Fangling City, spending a lot of money to buy various mountain kings, and paying a lot to compensate the people afterwards, but a lot of food, medicinal materials and other materials were taken from the major warehouses in Fangling City, which is not considered a loss.

In addition, since I joined the army, I have fought many battles, and more or less valuable things have been captured on the battlefield.

Although there is a lot of property, there are also many people under him.

Fifteen thousand soldiers, thousands of civilians who followed Feng Yi and Hongnong, the families of the soldiers, plus civilians from the north of Fangling and residents left behind in Fangling City.

There are tens of thousands of people.

If there is an opportunity to make money, of course you can't let it go.

Xue Peng listened to Li Wuchang's word "increased" and felt a little disapproving.

Before he came to Fangling City, he had a good discussion with Governor Yun about Li Wuchang's intentions in doing this.

Li Wuchang is definitely more than just wanting to make money.

Regarding the issue of prisoners in Fangling City, even if Li Wuchang did not negotiate with Qiu Yue in the southeast of Fangling, he should also negotiate with Jia Song, governor of Liangzhou.

Li Wuchang might want to attack Badong County, so he deliberately threw a difficult problem to the prefect Yun, and then made a big noise.

Two thousand and one hundred prisoners, this is not a small number.

Previously, He Hou, the prefect of the Northland, was attacked by many people in the court because he didn't take into account the five hundred soldiers captured by Li Wuchang.

Xue Peng would occasionally think of a sentence in Li Wuchang's call to action written a long time ago.

"Expert in fighting inside, outsider in fighting outside!"

Most people in the court didn't care about how Li Wuchang treated those captives. What they cared about was whether they could find a reason to stab He Hou, and then let their own people take over the post of Beidi prefect.

If something went wrong in this captive incident, there must be similar things happening.

When the Badong prefect received the letter, he yelled at him, thinking that Li Wuchang was just a shit stick, who messed up Feng Yi and Hongnong in Yongzhou, and now he came to harm Fangling, Yiling, and Badong.

Although angry, but this sweet potato had to be picked up.

"One captive is 20 taels of gold. Dare I ask Master Lu if this price is outrageous?" Xue Peng asked after being silent for a while.

A few years ago, a snowstorm broke out, which caused serious banditry. In addition, the Khitan invaded Jizhou, and a large number of soldiers died every day.

After the court took a breather, this number increased.

The living are worth more than the dead.

But it didn't even reach 20 taels of gold, and [-] captives would cost more than [-] taels of gold.

According to the current market price of gold, that would be 50 taels of silver.

"Ok!"

Li Wuchang nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit high!"

Xue Peng was stunned, and thought to himself that your natural expression made me a little at a loss!

Li Wuchang continued: "I heard that Prefect Badong Yun is quite rich."

Xue Peng: "..."

Li Wuchang, you...you fucking make sense!

I saw you were quite serious just now, why did you become a hooligan all of a sudden?

Even if you are really a hooligan, at least you can cover it up a little bit, okay?

Xue Peng shook his head, and said slowly: "In my opinion, Master Lu should sincerely want to kill those captives, but he lacks a reason!"

If the price is set so high on purpose, doesn't it make it clear that the talks will collapse?
50 taels of silver is not impossible, the key is that this precedent cannot be set.

Li Wuchang said: "Mr. Xue, don't be angry. Mr. Lu was a businessman before, so the so-called exorbitant price will be paid back on the spot! As long as you really want to redeem those captives, the price can be negotiated."

Xue Peng said: "Xue is more and more sure that Master Lu must have ideas about Padong. If he only needs money, he can go to negotiate with Yiling prefect. Yiling is much richer than Padong."

Li Wuchang said: "Mr. Lu not only has thoughts about Badong, but also the counties around Fangling... As for why he talked with the prefect of Badong, it should be because I have a little cock and I will choose whoever I want. No matter who you choose, you will end up with the prefect of Badong."

Xue Peng: "..."

"Don't understand what it means?"

Li Wuchang laughed, then stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and pointed at Wei Xin, Zhao Xun, and Jiang Minglun, and clicked on each of them, "Small, male, chicken, click, to, who, me, just, Choose, who... Do you understand this way?"

"Pfft..." Han Dazhi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wei Xin and the others all smiled.

Xue Peng and the guards behind him were confused by Nongde.

Li Wuchang coughed lightly, and said: "Excuse me, liven up the atmosphere! Mr. Xue, let me just say it straight, the price can be reduced, and other conditions are as described in the letter.

You talk about sending gold, silver or materials to Fangling City, and then bring people back.

I don't care if I leave Fangling City.

Today is the fourth day, you think about it carefully. "

Xue Peng made up his mind and said, "Master Lu, since the price can be negotiated, everything else is easy to discuss, but can it be delayed for a few days? Because we plan to redeem people with materials, it will take time to deliver them!"

Li Wuchang didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Mr. Xue belongs to the kind of face-saving person in Badong?"

Xue Peng didn't know why Li Wuchang asked such a question, and said: "It's not really a face, it's just that I've been around for a long time, and I know a few more people!"

"So this is ah!"

Li Wuchang nodded, and continued: "Has Mr. Xue ever tried to break his promise in front of many people?"

Xue Peng was silent.

Li Wuchang's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "I told you five days in front of so many people, Mr. Xue said that he will change it now, isn't it a bit inappropriate?

Or is it that Mr. Lu is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Mr. Xue and Governor Yun?
Isn't five days enough?That can only show that you have no sincerity in redeeming those captives! "

After finishing speaking, he exhaled and muttered to himself: "Looks like it's time for recruits to exercise their courage again!"

"Lord Lu, calm down!" Xue Peng said quickly.
