God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 97 Please Call Me Party A's Representative

"Xin Tang History Research" records:
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, in early summer, Du He, Situ Wanggui and others signed the first unequal treaty at the beginning of capitalism. The main content of the treaty was land cession and compensation. On the way Du He took it to the North American continent, it was damaged by wind and waves, but after the signing of the treaty, Du He harvested a thousand taels of silver and 500 acres of land... This treaty was signed near Yongningfang, so it was called by later historians It is the "Treaty of Yongning", which is also the first unequal treaty signed by Du He in his life. Of course, according to the research of historians, Du He signed tens of thousands of unequal treaties in his life, and each treaty was for him. brought abundant material wealth.Therefore, Du He was called a ruthless "devil" by the people at that time...

……

The next morning.

Under Du He's arrangement, the negotiating parties gathered in the spacious yard of Datang Furniture Factory.

The day was cloudy at first, and the gray sky seemed to be painted over and over again with diluted ink.

After a while, it began to rain lightly.

The raindrops, as thin as a cow's hair, fell on the green leaves, like pearls.

In the yard of the furniture factory, there are a total of five long tables assembled into a long, square table.

Two bolts of the finest silk brought from the south of the Yangtze River covered the table completely.

When many people saw it, they thought to themselves, this Du He is indeed a famous dandy in Chang'an City. It is a waste of money to cover the table with high-quality silk.

On the left side of the table, there was only one chair, and Du He was sitting alone, holding a signature pen in his hand, spinning it quickly, looking at the opposite side, his eyes were calm, he did not look like a 15-year-old young man.

On the right side, Wang Gui and the others were fully seated, with four rows fully occupied.

In the middle are Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Hou Junji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Fang Xuanling, Ling of Zhongshu, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.

Originally, Du He had also invited his father Du Ruhui, who was one of his servants, but when Du Ruhui heard the content of today's negotiation, he hurriedly avoided it.

This strange scene was inexplicably full of solemnity.

For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts, but they all stared at Du He intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Gui and the others discovered that everything had been arranged by Du He from the moment they entered the door, and before they knew it, their aura fell below.

Qin Qiong knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Entrusted by Du He, today, I will be the host of today's negotiation."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper and read: "Today's negotiation, both parties present uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, the principle of friendly consultation, the principle of joint development, the principle of peaceful consultation, and the principle of not attacking each other." The above are referred to as the Five Principles of Peaceful Negotiation, and on this basis, everyone negotiates on an equal footing to promote a win-win situation.”

When the strange words came out, everyone was a little confused.

Needless to say, the manuscript must have been given to Qin Shubao by Du He.

Not to mention, many people present felt that the Five Principles of Peaceful Negotiations were quite reasonable when they heard them, and they were taken aback for a while.

Qin Qiong coughed twice, and said, "Next, let me introduce the two parties negotiating today. Party A, Du He, represent Datang Furniture Factory, and Party B, Wang Gui, etc., represent Confucianism."

Kong Yingda, Pei Ju, and Chen Shuda all looked at each other helplessly.

This Du He actually used the word "waiting" to replace the group of them.

Qin Qiong continued: "Today's notaries also become supervisors and coordinators: Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Master Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Hou Junji, Lord Hou, Ling of Zhongshu, Master Fang Xuanling, Observer, Master Zuo Lingjun General, Cheng Zhijie, General Cheng, and a recorder, Zhang Du, who is in charge of the production of revolving wooden chairs at Datang Furniture Factory. Welcome everyone!"

clap clap.

Duho applauded.

Everyone didn't know why, but they still applauded.

Some of the brains are not working well, and they are already confused at this time.

Everyone has never seen such a battle of negotiations, isn't it just a negotiation?They are observers, supervisors and coordinators, recorders, and moderators.

However, since he came to negotiate with Du He, he could only listen to Du He.

Qin Qiong picked up the manuscript again, looked at Wang Gui and the others, and said, "Party B, please send a representative to explain Party B's demands."

What does representative mean?
Wang Gui and the others thought about it for a long time before they realized it.

After everyone discussed it, Wang Gui stood up.

Wang Gui tidied up his clothes, and said slowly: "I am waiting for the appeal, but I just want to ask Mr. Du to see that Wang Youxing and other scholars are young and ignorant, so that they can come to His Majesty and intercede for everyone. This group of scholars were exiled to Lingnan for ten years, and the sages said that God has the virtue of loving life, and now the four seas are united, and the world is peaceful..."

Wang Gui Luoli talked a lot, and Du He almost fell asleep.

After much difficulty, wait for Wang Gui to finish speaking.

Du He turned his head and asked Cheng Yaojin: "Uncle Cheng, do you understand?"

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, and said bluntly: "What did you say, I almost fell asleep, old Cheng."

Wang Gui immediately showed embarrassment.

He thought he had a brilliant literary talent, but facing someone like Lao Cheng, wasn't it just blowing the flute to a horse.

Du He tapped the table with a signature pen, and said: "Representative of Party B, please express your appeal in no more than five sentences, otherwise I have reason to think that you are here to mess around and not to negotiate at all. In my opinion, this There is no need to negotiate, Wang Youxing and those guys, let’s go to Lingnan to feed the poisonous insects.”

Kong Yingda hurriedly said, "Young Master Du..."

Du He corrected: "At the negotiating table, please call me the representative of Party A."

Kong Yingda said helplessly: "Okay......... Party A's representative!! Please wait a moment, I will definitely meet your request."

Then, Kong Yingda dragged Wang Gui to discuss for a long time, and finally, Kong Yingda stood up.

Kong Yingda organized the language for a long time before saying: "The supervisor, the observer, the host, the recorder, and the representative of Party A, our request is: I request the representative of Party A to come to His Majesty to intercede, and let the day go to the furniture factory A group of scholars who made trouble, because the original intention of the scholars was to prevent the production of rotating wooden chairs, not to hurt the Supreme Emperor."

After a few words, Kong Yingda felt like she was going to collapse.

These new nouns one by one, it's going to kill me.

After finishing speaking, Kong Yingda sat down slowly.

Qin Qiong was about to speak but forgot what to say, quickly looked at the manuscript, and asked: "Representative of Party A, may I ask if you agree with Party B's request, and if there are any conditions."

Du He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it to Qin Qiong: "Host, please read my conditions."

Qin Qiong picked it up and read aloud: "Party A represents the conditions, first, compensation of ten thousand taels of silver, and second, compensation of 1000 mu of land."

wow...
