Chapter 132 Negotiations
Zhao Xiwei took it over and put it on the table: "This is the account book that my daughter compiled last night. On it is the list of farms that have had business dealings with Taihe Rice Shop in the past three years. Your Highness, please have a look."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhao Ziyi and Li Xuanye were taken aback.

The former is a bit puzzled: Weier, don’t you understand that Mipu is just a bargaining chip for us to negotiate, how did you really show our cards?
The latter was a little suspicious: Could it be that he was thinking too much?Seeing her sincerity, she really doesn't mean to threaten at all...

Zhao Xiwei spoke slowly and softly, like a trickling spring flowing slowly through the mountain stream: "...the disaster is imminent, and it concerns the people of the world. One more hour of delay will cause one more innocent person to suffer. If the compensation can be made today After the matter is settled, after the courtier's daughter returns to the mansion, she promises to make the second aunt nod her head in agreement, and then His Highness can order someone to dispatch the food."

Li Xuanye frowned slightly, and threw a "?" symbol at Zhao Ziyi.

What on earth do these father and daughter want to do?
Don't you just want him to be responsible? Why bother to organize all the information for him?
Zhao Ziyi frowned, hesitantly said: "Wei'er, I have to discuss these matters with His Highness as a father, and you and His Highness can decide on the follow-up compensation."

He put a heavy tone on the word "compensation matters", and added another sentence: "If you have any ideas, just mention them directly, and I will be the father to make decisions for you."

The cold wind came quietly, and when I turned over the account book on the table, there was a "cracking" sound, as if people's emotions were in a mess.

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback.

What her father said was unceremonious, and could even be said to be very presumptuous. In her impression, Li Xuanye was not a good talker.

Eat the king's salary, and worry about the king's worries.

Disaster relief is the responsibility of the courtiers, let alone a paid secondment, even if the imperial court directly wants the rice shop there, it is understandable, and there is no need for the dignified prince to sit here to discuss compensation.

But Li Xuanye, who was normally majestic and stern, just let go of his identity lightly at this time.

Such an abnormal performance made Zhao Xiwei feel very shocked, so he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the opposite person.

Today he was wearing a light gray straight gown, with a navy blue silk sash around his waist, and a large and elegant sapphire blue cloak.

This is an ordinary uniform, but when he wears it, it is like the moonlight reflecting the white snow, revealing a kind of nobility soaked in rich clothes and jade food, making everything in the world look mediocre.

Such a person, even if he puts aside his status and only looks at his appearance, he is outstanding above all others.

Zhao Xiwei looked down, but was attracted by the pattern on his sleeves.

Men in the Wei Dynasty love beauty, and like to embroider complicated and gorgeous patterns on their sleeves, such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, or peony and peony, which are very elegant.

only……

What was embroidered on his sleeves was roses!
Such a fresh and elegant pattern, combined with his indifferent temperament, made him a bit romantic and elegant.

Li Xuanye saw her looking at him, and there was something intriguing on his face: "Miss Zhao understands righteousness, and she admires her very much in her heart. If you have any requests, you can just ask me, and you will fulfill them with all your strength."

Is it so easy to talk?

Zhao Xiwei pressed his finger on the account book of Tumbling Fei, and turned his eyes to his father again.

It may be that she has been oppressed by Li Xuanye's majesty too many times, and she always has an unrealistic and illusory feeling about all the things in front of her.

Zhao Ziyi gave her a reassuring look.

Zhao Xi was slightly surprised, and for the first time had a close understanding of the position of "Prime Minister".

That is, sitting in this position, even in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can still feel calm and relaxed.

It's just that if you talk about compensation...

This request really made it difficult for her to speak.

If you put it too lowly, then Yuan's side will definitely have resentment: It's really embarrassing to use my dowry's private property to fill your father's bright future!

If the words are too high, the prince will definitely have suspicion: the country is in trouble, but you dare to talk to the lonely lion just because you donate a rice shop?
Zhao Xiwei is not the kind of character who wants to be strong. On the contrary, she is cautious and tries to be safe.

She thought for a moment: "It is the duty of the courtiers to share the worries of the king. The courtiers and father dare not make any demands. They only dare to discuss with His Highness to make the second wife of the mansion feel at ease."

She said slowly: "Ten thousand shi of grain is not a small amount. Although the minister has the heart, she doesn't have the courage, not to mention that this is the dowry private property of the second wife of the family, so—"

"Huh?" Li Xuanye raised his long eyebrows slightly, and an invisible coercion came over him.

Zhao Xiwei had to admit that even though her father, who was the prime minister, was sitting next to her, when she met Li Xuanye, she still subconsciously wanted to escape and shrink back.

In addition to the overpowering aura of this person, there are also some feelings that make her feel familiar, spreading, churning, and jumping in her heart.

Hazy, deep and shallow.

Like a vague net, she was trapped in it.

She couldn't catch it, but she couldn't escape.

This feeling came out of nowhere, which made her unable to control it, and made her feel terrified.

But her heart is calm and calm after all, she quickly suppressed this strangeness, and brought her thoughts back to reality:
What she has to do today is to help the Zhao family obtain favorable compensation.

The righteousness of the family and the country cannot be lost, but the interests of the family cannot be compromised.

She took a sip of tea lightly, her dry throat became clear, and then she continued to speak: "The court lady has drawn up the contract on behalf of Yuan Shi, and now the market is one tael of silver and two stones of rice. Calculated, 5000 shi of rice is 6000 taels of silver, plus production, trading, transportation and other costs, labor, and material costs, about [-] taels of silver.”

"The snow disaster in Jizhou is a major event for the family and the country. As the people of the Great Wei, the Zhao family has a certain responsibility to share the country's worries. Therefore, the courtiers think that the 1000 taels should be borne by the Zhao family. In summary, His Highness needs to compensate Taihe. 5000 taels of rice and silver... This is the terms of the contract, please read it Your Highness."

Her voice was unhurried, and her tone was soothing and calm. After such a long sentence, even Zhao Ziyi knew the talent of this daughter for a long time, so she couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "Wei'er, you actually..."

How could she be so considerate for a lady who never left her home?And how did you become so familiar with these things overnight?
"Return to father's words." But Zhao Xiwei didn't feel how much credit she had made. She had already engraved this seriousness in her life after many years of poor life.

He only explained respectfully: "After Wei'er learned about the disaster in Jizhou, he found an excuse to borrow the account book from the second lady, and got a rough idea of ​​the market conditions of the rice shops in Chang'an."

Li Xuanye's eyes sank slightly, and he saw her upturned Ruyu's face, with a smile full of indifference and confidence, like a delicate pink rose, quietly blooming in front of him.

As if fascinated by the bright colors, he immediately looked away and turned to the contract on the case.

　Note: For the convenience of calculation, this article is all based on the setting of 1 tael = 500 yuan. For example, the heroine has 2 taels of pocket money every month, which is 1 yuan.

　　A stone of rice is about 90 kilograms, and 500 yuan buys 90 kilograms of rice.

　　In the article, the male protagonist needs to take out 5 taels to compensate the female protagonist’s family, which is 250 million when converted into money. It’s actually okay to look at a lot, because the original text assumes that the second wife is the daughter of the richest man, and it’s not too big to make up 250 million (see my serious face)

　　There will be deviations between the above currency settings and history, everyone understands it, don’t check whether it is true to the historical facts~
　　After all, the currency settings of each dynasty are different~
　　ps. Zheng Shuang's daily salary is 208 million!And I'm still explaining the 5 taels in the novel... Poverty limits my imagination!
　　‥(﹏) Tired...
