she is on top

Before Jiang Yao could express anything, Xiao Le's expression became tense.

But at the moment, no one noticed her.

She had never seen such a side of Su Luoyang, and she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so dark, asking for [-]% of the annual tax from her.What does it mean for a country to pay [-]% of the tax a year? It has been ten years in a row, and she has quietly started to make preparations. If Jiang Yao can't help but greet the face of the empress, she can do it in time. respond.

After Jiang Yao heard this condition, the corners of his eyes twitched. Although he knew that negotiating conditions were all about asking a high price and then slowly killing them down, Su Luoyang's price was too high.Even if I can negotiate a deal afterwards, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill too many.Jiang Yao forced himself to suppress his inner thoughts, still maintaining a polite but solemn smile on his face

"Emperor Xia must have passed the time. Forty percent of the taxes collected by Western Chu each year are spent on large and small expenses. In the future, we must not levy taxes arbitrarily, and the national treasury will not be filled. Where can I get [-]% for you, do we want to make our own people hungry?"

Jiang Yao frowned more and more as he talked, obviously dissatisfied with Su Luoyang's lion's mouth.But because of the need for others, I had to deal with it patiently to the end.

"Twenty-five percent." Even if it was Jiang Yaoxiao who moved with emotion and reasoned, Su Luoyang was still unmoved, and just relaxed a little.

Who wouldn't cry about being poor? It was true that poverty was tight after the war. Su Luoyang also experienced such a period, but it's none of my business. You have to give me as much as you want.How to solve the rest is up to you.

As a qualified businessman, in the face of his own interests, he must never let go.

Twenty-five percent, thanks to her shouting.

Xiao Le looked at His Majesty the Empress, and then at Jiang Yao's expression. At this moment, Jiang Yao's face was watertight, but he was already roaring in his heart, "At most [-]%, if there is more, I don't need to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince." If you ascend the throne, you won’t even be able to pay your military salary.”

Jiang Yao's bargaining was also ruthless, directly suppressing Su Luoyang's price by [-]% as soon as he opened his mouth.One does not want to give more, and the other just wants to take more.Xiao Le watched the two women come and go, and there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

Su Luoyang's eyes were half empty, this action was a sign of her displeasure.Xiao Le couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Yao.

"My Xuanjia Battalion can be borrowed from you. Since Miss Jiang is the first military adviser to assist the King of Huai'an, you must have heard of the third battalion of the Su family, right? It is impossible for me to borrow too many soldiers from you with great fanfare, but my Xuan Battalion A, all of them are well-selected elite soldiers, not to mention one against ten, but one against three is not a problem."

Hearing this, Jiang Yao's eyes lighted up undetectably, and then disappeared.Of course, she knew about the Xuanjia Camp. Although there were only 5000 people, it was indeed an elite division as Su Luoyang said.

Mounted are cavalry, dismounted are infantry.It belonged to the private army under Emperor Xia's command, and the Su Family's Third Battalion played a big role in the war.Even though Su Luoyang said that, Jiang Yao felt that there must be something else to say.

She would not be so naive as to think that [-]% of the annual tax would allow Emperor Xia to contribute his private army.

Of course, Xiao Le also thought so, how can Her Majesty the Empress be such an easy person to dismiss.She throws you a delicious bait just to say the next thing.

"I sympathize with you Western Chu. After all, Da Xia also came here in this way. However, it is impossible for my troops to come in vain. Since it is an agreement between the two parties, then our army will go deep into Western Chu, and the military supplies, etc., should be borne by you Western Chu. And my The Xuanjia Battalion is a separate organization and will not be under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country.

Finally, I want Chu An to pay [-]% of the tax every year for ten years after he ascends the throne. This figure is my final bottom line. In fact, everyone understands. please come back. "

[-]% is indeed the most reasonable number. Su Luoyang actually liked [-]% from the beginning, and [-]% was just a bluff.

On Jiang Yao's side, the best bottom line in her heart is also [-]%, and Su Luoyang is so precise that he just stepped on this line. If it was higher, Jiang Yao might turn around and leave.

However, even though it was the expected price, no one would be willing to give away such a huge amount of wealth like this.

Su Luoyang saw that she was still hesitant, so he didn't say anything more. He lifted his foot and walked out the door. When he passed Jiang Yao, he paused and said leisurely.

"Ms. Jiang might as well think about it before telling me the answer. If you don't want to accept it, it's okay. I will send people to escort you back to the country, so that Chu Nan can't take advantage of it. After all, we have cooperated before, and the business is not righteous. "

Xiao Le is too familiar with this scene, isn't this the last move her mother took her to buy clothes in the market when she was a child, after killing the price - playing hard to get?

This is to put psychological pressure on the other party, so that the other party cannot think quickly in a short period of time, so as to achieve their own goals.In order to cooperate with Su Luoyang's actions, Xiao Le also stood up and walked out following Su Luoyang's pace.

However, just when Su Luoyang's feet were about to step over the threshold, there was a faint sigh from behind, "Wait a minute."

After this short confrontation, Jiang Yao seemed to understand that it was impossible for him to take half of the advantage from Su Luoyang.

She turned around and said solemnly, "I agree with your terms, and I hope that you, Your Majesty, can fulfill your promise as soon as possible. The current situation of His Royal Highness in the country is not very optimistic."

Su Luoyang turned his back to her, the corners of his mouth were bent and raised a little.Slowly turned around and faced Jiang Yao, "Ms. Jiang is indeed a straightforward person. You can rest assured that you are entrusted with loyalty. I will choose a reliable person in these two days. Lead the Xuanjia Battalion and return to Western Chu with you."

After Jiang Yao got the promise, he said goodbye and left.

Xiao Le was more curious about who Su Luoyang would send to West Chu. The Xuanjiaying was stationed in the outskirts of Pingjing for daily training on weekdays, so it would be easy to gather them together.So she didn't leave immediately, but stayed.

Su Luoyang didn't drive her away either. Now that she was here with Xiao Le, she felt that she had nothing to hide.

The chief general and deputy general of the Xuanjia camp were quickly summoned to the palace to face the saint. Xiao Le originally thought that he would meet an acquaintance, but he didn't want to find that the two of them were familiar faces when the two came in.

Liu Kun, the former deputy general, has now been promoted to the main general, but the deputy general of the Xuanjia Camp is a person that Xiao Le can't imagine.

"Du Fei?" Surprised, Xiao Le couldn't help calling out the other party's name.Although it's been a long time since I've seen him, Du Fei's face has matured a lot after several years of fighting, and there is still a circle of green stubble on his chin, but Xiao Le still recognized this former partner who fought together at a glance.

He looked more stable and reliable than ever.After he was sent to the northern border, he lost contact with his former subordinates. He just didn't know what kind of opportunity Du Fei had later, he was able to enter Su Luoyang's core army and even became a lieutenant general.

Liu Kun and Du Fei saluted Su Luoyang respectfully, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a woman sitting beside them.

Therefore, when he heard someone calling his name, Du Fei turned his head in surprise, but he had never seen this person in his memory.He stayed in the military camp all year round and rarely dealt with women, let alone acquaintances.

At this moment, I can't remember whether I recognize this person or not. If I have seen him, but I forgot, wouldn't it be very rude to others?

Originally, they were here to discuss serious matters, but the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Su Luoyang also looked at Xiao Le, and after a little thought, he figured out the ins and outs.At the beginning, Du Fei stood out from the regular establishment and was selected into the Xuanjia Battalion.When the recruits entered the camp, Su Luoyang took a special look at them. Because of Xiao Le, he knew a thing or two about the people around her.

Afterwards, he paid more attention to Du Fei's performance, but the other party's ability to get to where he is today is entirely earned by his own strength.

The three people in the hall all looked at him, and Xiao Le realized that he had said something wrong.Logically speaking, Du Fei and her current body are strangers, so it's quite inappropriate to call out the other party's name rashly.

Su Luoyang seemed to sense her difficulty, so his thin lips parted slightly, and the cold female voice reached everyone's ears for a moment, drawing their attention away from Xiao Le.

"I called you here today because I have an important task for you." Hearing these words, the two people standing in the center of the hall immediately stood up straight, as if they had listened to the general's order.

"Chu An, the prince of Western Chu, borrowed troops from me, and I have already agreed to lend them the Xuanjia Camp to repel the rebels. Remember, the two of you, that the Xuanjia Camp is not dispatched by anyone, and your duty is to assist them. The two of you will go back to rectify the soldiers and horses, and prepare to leave at any time."

After the two were ordered to retreat, Su Luoyang turned his attention to Xiao Le again.Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she hesitated to speak, as if she had something hard to say.

"What do you want to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to avoid those things between you and me."

Xiao Le got up and walked in front of Su Luoyang, reaching out to smoothen her slightly frowning brows.What she dislikes the most is Su Luoyang's frowning and unhappy appearance. If possible, she really would rather Su Luoyang not be the emperor, and enjoy the mountains and rivers with her, and be able to smile every day, that would be great longing for.

"I think... the matter of Western Chu is very important to me. Chu An must not lose this battle for the throne. Can you go to Western Chu for me..." In fact, this was not Su Luoyang's original intention, but it was just a temporary pick-up today. received a secret message.And this matter is not a good thing for Xiao Le, she needs a suitable reason to send Xiao Le away from Pingjing, and then let go to deal with this matter.

Before she comes back, it's over.And this reason is the most appropriate.Xiao Le no longer has the status of a general, at most he will go there as a military adviser, and there will be no danger.

She knew that as long as she spoke, Xiao Le would definitely not refuse.This man is always like this, always doing his best to satisfy himself.It's just that the two of them had just got together, and they were about to separate again. Su Luoyang felt distressed in his heart.

"I thought it was something, but it's just what I want. I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time... I almost forgot the sound of triumph."
