This is a huge incentive for big men.

The name of righteousness is very important.

What if we only use 30%?

That counts as a profit.

That's why Zong Yu is so happy.

After the excitement, Zong Yu asked again worriedly:

"Mi Langjun, it's not that I can't trust you, but this matter is of great importance. Is your friend reliable?"

Mi Langjun smiled understandingly:

"Mr. Zong, you don't know how short of money the Wu treasury is now. This 30% is a lot for Wu people."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, dipped his finger in the cup, and wrote a number on the table.

When Zong Yu saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and his voice even raised a lot: "So many?"

Mi Shiyilang smiled and said nothing.

Zong Yu stared at the numbers on the desk and was speechless for a long time.

As Shangshu, his duty is to assist Shangshu Ling and handle matters at Shangshutai.

He had also heard of the Jingzhou tariff, and a lot of money could be collected there every year.

The specific numbers were personally reviewed by Shangshu Ling.

Over the years, the Han Dynasty has become financially wealthy and everyone has high aspirations.

Zaizong expected that no matter how much Jingzhou's vehicle and boat taxes were collected, it would never be able to compare with the taxes in the Han Dynasty.

did not expect……

Enter his mother's!

During the late emperor's reign, if he really had such a large sum of money, some fellow villagers in Jingzhou, if not asking them to sell themselves, could at least prevent them from selling Jingzhou to the Wu people.

wrong!

Zong Yu raised his head suspiciously, stared at Mi Shiyilang, and blurted out:

"How much business did your Xinghan Hui do in Jingzhou?"

After asking, he felt guilty and shook his head again:

"Forget it, this kind of thing is beyond my ability to ask."

Then he couldn’t help but complain:

"It is said that King Feng Gui has great foresight. I have witnessed it with my own eyes today."

Although he only saw a glimpse of it, it was enough to frighten him.

After being shocked, he suddenly laughed again:

"But aren't these the reasons for my trip?"

Knowing that he had greater confidence, Zong Yu straightened his back when he saw Sun Quan the next day.

After handing over the credentials, we began to discuss the ownership of Luoyang.

But Zong Yu stretched out a finger and said loudly:

"One percent!"

Sun Quan was so angry that he almost started a crime:

"Mr. Zong, I have always respected you and valued you precisely because of your resistance. I didn't expect that what happened today was contrary to your usual way of being a human being."

"The alliance between Wu and Han was decided by your first lord of Han and your first prime minister. Luoyang belongs to me, Wu. Do you want to deny the alliance now?"

Zong Yu said in surprise:

"How could your Majesty make such remarks? When did the foreign minister say that he did not recognize the alliance between Han and Wu?"

Sun Quan had a gloomy face:

"In this case, Luoyang, which should belong to me, Wu, was taken away by your Han country. Don't you have any explanation?"

Zong Yu stretched out a finger again:

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister has already said it, 10%. This is the sincerity and statement of our big man."

"not enough!"

It was a common thing for Han and Wu countries to send envoys to each other.

When there are most messengers, they are constantly on the road, with cars and boats looking at each other.

In addition, Zong Yu came here this time for the Luoyang matter, so it was not appropriate to publicize it in advance.

Moreover, when discussing how much Luoyang City was worth, Sun Quan probably felt that it would be a shame to bring it up for public discussion.

Therefore, during this summons, apart from Zong Yu, he only asked the school secretary Lu Yi to accompany him.

When it comes to Jingzhou's financial resources, the school affairs office has the most say.

Sun Quan was displeased, and Zong Yu was also a little dismayed:

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because I don't like hypocrisy and say whatever I have to say that I am standing here today to discuss the matter of Luoyang with Your Majesty."

"Although the Han Dynasty now wants to capture Luoyang, it is forced to do so. Because the news came from Xizuo, the Wei thieves knew that Luoyang could not be defended, so they wanted to burn the city and escape."

"The incident happened suddenly, so we couldn't ignore it, so we sent troops there. This is a workaround. We can't just watch the thieves burn the city and escape, and let Luoyang suffer another disaster, right?"

"Besides, before we sent out troops, didn't I come here to discuss the aftermath with His Majesty? Isn't this enough to show sincerity?"

Sun Quan was not moved at all, and just said in a deep voice:

"The 10% tariff is also called sincerity?"

Zong Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Lord Wu did not mention the Luoyang matter, but just talked about tariffs.

Could it be that, as Mi Langjun said, the treasury of Wu State is already in such short supply?

With this thought in his mind, his expression remained unchanged:

"Then how much does Your Majesty plan to ask for?"

Sun Quan slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty percent."

"Your Majesty's words are not sincere!" Zong Yu stood up immediately and protested, "Since Your Majesty said that I resist straight people, I will tell the truth."

"Luoyang is the old capital of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty will never let thieves do what Dong Zhuo did again! So when I came out, the Han Dynasty had already sent out troops."

"With the ability of my great Han Dynasty Sima, I might have captured Luoyang by now. Whether Your Majesty is willing to accept it or not, Luoyang will fall into the hands of the great Han Dynasty."

"Instead of leaving Luoyang in the hands of the Wei thieves, it is better to let the Han Dynasty temporarily take charge of it. If Your Majesty can come to Luoyang City one day, I, the Han Dynasty, will return Luoyang according to the covenant."

Hearing this, Sun Quan's face twitched.

How could he not know that the Han Dynasty sent troops to Luoyang, determined to capture Luoyang?

There is absolutely nothing I can do to stop it.

As for burning the city and escaping, whether it was true or false, it was just an excuse anyway, and he didn't bother to argue with Zong Yu.

Since we can't stop it, we can only try our best to get as many benefits from Han as possible.

As for considering now whether the Han Congress will really return it in the future, it is better to consider how to capture Hefei first.

"Zong Shangshu, you also said that Luoyang belongs to me, Da Wu, according to the covenant. And the customs duties in Jingzhou should also belong to me, Da Wu."

"Isn't it a bit excessive for you to use my Da Wu's tariffs to buy my Da Wu's city?"

Zong Yu did not give Sun Quan any face:

"If Your Majesty has already returned the money, food, horses, weapons, and armor that you owe me to this big man, and you say this again, you will have to admit that it is too much."

Sun Quan's face suddenly turned livid.

His nails were about to bleed from the palm of his hand, and he could barely suppress his emotions.

If it weren't for the debt I owe you to the Han Dynasty, I would be sitting here today discussing the Luoyang matter with you?

But I am not as good as others, and I still want to ask for help from others. What can I do?

Lu Yi, who was standing by the side, saw the unwillingness of the two sides and couldn't help but secretly screamed that it was bad.

He has clearly expressed his anger to Mr. Mi Lang in advance. As long as the Han Kingdom can give up 30%, your Majesty will be able to comply.

But what's going on in front of you?

Could it be that Mi Langjun didn't remind the Han envoy?

Or is Han really unwilling to give more?
