I really don't want to be a traitor

"Fan Li, what else do you have to say!" Holy Lord Jinde turned coldly and asked in a hateful voice.

It is an indisputable fact that treasure notes and spirit stone coupons have depreciated in value.

The ironclad evidence was right in front of him, and Jin De was confident that even if Fan Li's tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, he would never be able to confuse right and wrong and distort the facts.

"My lord..."

Fan Li was about to say something, but Holy Master Jin De grabbed the blank.

"You'd better tell the truth. Neither I nor Miaoyin are three-year-old children!"

Fan Li looked embarrassed when he heard this, as if he was speechless.

It was rare to see him deflated, Jin De sneered again and again.

"Ugh!"

Fan Li sighed.

"Two holy masters and three noble envoys, the depreciation of Dachu treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons is indeed true."

"I...I have no way of making excuses."

Seeing Fan Li looking embarrassed like a defeated general, Jin De and Miao Yin exchanged glances with each other.

Just admit it!

In front of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, since Fan Li admitted it, he should compensate the Daci Dynasty for its losses.

In this way, Jin De and Miao Yin can communicate with Empress Yaoguang.

"What are you going to do?" Jin De asked loudly.

"This……"

The more awkward and awkward Fan Li's reaction was, the more proud Jin De became.

Ah!

This man also has today?

"I am the head of the officials of Great Chu. I am the person most responsible for the depreciation of treasures due to the turmoil in the country."

"Therefore, I will go to the court and ask for punishment."

"Demotion, fine, reduction of rank, no matter what kind of punishment, I am willing to bear it."

Lord Jin De was a little impatient when he heard this.

She didn't care about Fan Li's career. How to make up for the losses of the Daci Dynasty was the key.

"Alright, alright!"

"I am not interested in Chu's internal affairs. You just want to say whether compensation should be made!"

Holy Lord Jin De said, staring at Fan Li with hostility in his eyes.

If he dares to say even half a word of 'no', he is seeking death!

"Compensation should be made, of course it should be compensated."

Fan Li expressed his stance on the spot.

"My brother Fan Zhengming, Marquis of Liyang, once personally escorted the baggage to express condolences to the Daci soldiers, and also signed a contract with His Majesty Yaoguang."

"The terms of the contract are clearly written in black and white."

"All rights, obligations, responsibilities and compensation standards for breach of contract have already been spelled out in the contract."

"Please rest assured, two holy masters, that I am an honest and trustworthy man. I will strictly fulfill the terms of the contract and compensate Daci for the losses he deserves."

Listen to Fan Li's endless words.

At first, Jin De and Miao Yin thought that everything was going well and that they could make a deal with Empress Yaoguang this time.

But gradually, Jin De seemed to find something was wrong?

"Wait a moment!"

"You said compensation should be paid according to the terms of the contract?!"

Fan Li nodded with an innocent expression on his face: "Yes."

"No... no! Absolutely not! How can we pay compensation according to the terms of the contract?" Jin De quickly changed his words.

The envoys from the Three Kingdoms who were watching on the side were also aroused at this time.

Liu Chan asked: "What does the Holy Master mean by this? Since there is an agreement, it should be handled according to the agreement."

Cao Huan also said: "That's right! The depreciation of Chu's treasures has indeed harmed Daci's interests. But Jin admitted his mistake and had a good attitude and abided by the contract. Will Daci break the contract instead?"

Sun Hao finally said: "The Duke of Jin is true to his word. He is truly a sincere gentleman and a role model for our generation."

After hearing the statements of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, Jin De's expression changed again and again, and he wanted to slap them all to death! These hateful men!

He is obviously weak in cultivation, but because of the alliance, his majestic Mahayana Holy Master has to swallow his anger against them?

"You have no idea!"

"There's something wrong with that contract... That contract... is clearly a trap set by Fan Li!"

Jin De defended palely, but because there was no solid evidence, his words were unconvincing.

At this time, Fan Li put on a serious expression.

"Holy Lord, be careful!"

"It was my brother Fan Zhengming and His Majesty Yaoguang who signed the contract. I was not even present."

"The terms of the contract are clear and clear. After repeated communication and confirmation by both parties, it was finally signed and sealed to take effect."

"In this way, how can I deceive you?"

"Or maybe Holy Lord Jinde thinks that His Majesty Yaoguang is not smart enough and that I can set up a trap to deceive her even though I am far away in Pengcheng?"

Fan Li made an impassioned speech that left Jin De speechless.

To persist in the deception is to admit that Yao Guang is a fool.

Why is the emperor's face so important?

If they don't admit it, the Daci Dynasty will have to suffer the consequences of being dumb!

Holy Lord Jinde was completely confused, and Holy Lord Miaoyin beside him was even more helpless.

Fan Li smiled slightly.

He took out a scroll, which was the contract signed by Daci and Dachu.

"Fan Zhengming, Hou Liyang of Chu, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, hereby signs the following agreement with His Majesty Yaoguang of the Daci Dynasty!"

"one,……"

"two,……"

"3. If the purchasing power of treasure banknotes and spirit stone certificates decreases due to price fluctuations in Chu State, resulting in losses to the interests of the Daci Dynasty, Chu will pay a minimum of ten times and a maximum of a hundred times. The method of compensation will be given priority to DaChu official Currency, that is, treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons, are the first payment methods.”

"Four. If Da Chu is unable to pay sufficient denominations of treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons, he should pay compensation in kind of equivalent value."

Fan Li read out the terms of the contract one by one and showed them to Liu Chan, Cao Huan and Sun Hao.

These three are important witnesses!

Holy Lord Jinde was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"Fan... Duke Jin, I, Daci, require that compensation be paid in kind of equivalent value according to Article 4 of the contract!" She tried with her last fantasy.

Fan Li shook his head.

"Holy Lord Jin De, I have heard for a long time that you practice Confucianism and Taoism, and you are also a well-educated Confucian scholar. Why did the Holy Lord make mistakes in the most basic reading and understanding?"

He pointed to the fourth clause of the contract.

"It's clearly written in black and white. If Da Chu is unable to pay the treasure notes and spirit stone coupons, he will only compensate in kind."

"Holy Lord, please rest assured that our banknote printing factory in Dachu is operating normally. Even if you pay a hundred times the standard for compensation for your country's losses, the required treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons can be printed immediately!"

One hundred times the standard?

Dachu asked Daci to send troops to Xiongzhou at the cost of five years of tax revenue.

In other words, the maximum claim from the Daci Dynasty is equivalent to the total tax revenue of Chu State for 500 years?

Is this more than an astronomical figure?

It’s simply unimaginably terrifying!

But treasure notes and spirit stone coupons?

Holy Lord Jinde said with a trembling voice: "I don't believe it. The maximum denomination of treasure banknotes is only ten thousand taels of gold, and the maximum denomination of spirit stone coupons is only ten thousand spirit stones. How many banknotes do you have to print to compensate for a hundred times the standard? Fan Li, how much do you want to take? Point to something real…”

At the end of the sentence, Jin De's tone was pleading.

If he really wanted to bring back a bunch of useless paper, Jin De suspected that his elder sister would kill him.

Fan Li still smiled relaxedly.

"Please rest assured, two holy masters."

"Since the purchasing power of treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons has declined, in order to protect the interests of the allies, I have started preparing for compensation early."

"The latest versions of [One Hundred Billion Liang Gold Banknotes] and [Five Hundred Billion Spiritual Stone Coupons] have been printed in batches, which is enough to complete the compensation requirements."
