Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 339: Eight hundred thousand taels of gold as compensation is too little, one million (Happy New Year, please give me a monthly ticket)

Prajna Zen Forest.

Xuanmiao Hall.

Dozens of people in the innate realm of Prajna Zen Temple, as well as masters from various forces are all there.

A long desk lay across the middle of the hall. Master Gu Ming, whose injuries had not yet healed and whose face was pale, held a rosary in his hand. Opposite him sat the envoys of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Imperial Censor Qin Mu, and the Grand Secretary Sun Botang.

"Ahem," Sun Botang coughed lightly, then said, "Master Gu Ming, the first clause of the contract is that Prajna Zen Temple apologizes for enslaving the people of Daqin and pays 800,000 taels of gold as compensation. Is this okay?"

His palms clenched lightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Qin Mu beside him also held his breath slightly.

There are so many masters from Liangyuan Domain here. If they launch an attack, he and Sun Botang, who are weak and helpless, will not be able to escape.

At this moment, feeling the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Qin Mu had reason to suspect that Qingyang Bo wanted to use the monks in Liangyuan Territory to harm him and Sun Botang.

His suicide note has already been written.

Across from him, Master Gu Ming stopped holding the rosary in his hand, his face looking solemn.

He stood up slowly, his body straight and his breath as deep as the ocean.

Even injured, he is still a master.

Sun Botang swallowed his saliva.

Qin Mu clenched his fists in his sleeves.

"Gu Ming, on behalf of the Prajna Zen Temple, apologize to Daqin and the enslaved miners."

Master Gu Ming put his hands together and bent his waist towards the long table.

Behind him, all the masters of the Prajna Zen Temple from all directions in Liangyuan Territory bowed.

Sun Botang trembled all over and slowly stood up.

Qin Mu beside him also stood up.

"Lord Qingyang once said that all human beings are born equal, whether it is innate or acquired, masters or ordinary people, all should be treated equally." Master Gu Ming's rosary in his hands moved slightly.

"This is the difference between humans and animals."

"Gu Ming has realized his mistake, and I, Prajna Zen Lin, have also realized my mistake."

"All of this is due to that evil Zenxin's greed and selfishness."

Master Gu Ming's words were filled with sincerity and indignation.

His face was full of justice and he bowed again.

"Gu Ming will practice asceticism and eat vegetarian food every day to atone for his sins."

After saying that, he sat down.

"Eight hundred thousand taels of gold is too little compensation. One million is better."

million?

million!

Sun Botang and Qin Mu looked at each other and almost bit their tongues.

"Then, let's discuss the second point?"

Qin Mu looked up.

Master Gu Ming nodded.

Second, because the efficiency of Prajna Zen Temple in mining the Yutan Mountain gold mine was low, Daqin Wuchang helped them mine the gold.

Of the mined gold, 20% was given to the Prajna Zen Temple, and the remaining 80% was given to Daqin.

Article 3. In order to help the people of Liangyuan Territory, Daqin will arrange 100,000 troops to be stationed in 20 areas in Liangyuan Territory. The expenses of these 100,000 troops will be borne by all parties in Liangyuan Territory.

The fourth and fifth articles include setting up a trading company in front of Yuzhao Temple to trade with Daqin.

The monk soldiers in Liangyuan Territory can be hired by Daqin, and the people who go to Daqin to make a living cannot be stopped by any party in Liangyuan Territory, etc.

In the eyes of Sun Botang and Qin Mu, each of these was intended to cut off the roots of Liangyuan Territory, and all parties in Liangyuan Territory would never agree to it.

But right in front of them, Master Gu Ming and all the parties from Liangyuan Territory agreed so readily.

Until all the contracts were signed, both of them were like sleepwalking.

"Is that it, done?" After everyone left, Qin Mu looked at Sun Botang.

Sun Botang nodded and said blankly, "About that's it."

--------------

The Great Qin Imperial City.

Zongren Mansion.

Zhao Yu looked at the plates of gold and jade beads before him, rubbing his hands together, his eyes bright. "Well, Shopkeeper Zhao, I can't help much. I'm so sorry..."

She said this, but her hands were honest and she had already taken both the gold and jade beads.

Although it's only a few dozen taels of gold and jade beads, who would complain about it being too little?
Aren’t most of them unexpected gains?
"If it weren't for Princess Yuruo's recommendation, we wouldn't have known to ask Captain Zhang of the Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen for help."

"Without Captain Zhang's help, my caravan would never have returned."

"This is a thank you gift, I should have it."

The eldest prince, standing in front of Zhao Yu, waved his hand and walked forward, saying, "Of course, it is also thanks to your planning, Princess Yuruo, that the caravan was able to travel through the wilderness and forests."

These words made Zhao Yu look a little proud.

Walking forward, the eldest prince paused and turned to look at Zhao Yu.

"Princess Yuruo, I have a problem now."

"Please help me consider this, my lord."

Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Manager Zhao, you are a big businessman. How can I be so competent as to consult you?"

This made the eldest prince chuckle and shake his head.

"Princess Yuruo is being modest."

"Your Yuyuan Trading Company can sell a thousand taels of gold for just one painting. Isn't this a big business?"

Zhao Yu was stunned and whispered, "My company sells paintings at different prices, and I won't tell anyone else..."

She looked up at the eldest prince with a smile on her face: "It seems that my company's most important customer is Shopkeeper Zhao."

The eldest prince did not deny it, but simply said: "My caravan has returned, and the leader of the guards should be rewarded."

"Of course. After such an experience, anyone who can come back alive will be rewarded handsomely." Zhao Yu nodded.

"The problem is, in order to control the caravan, the guard commander killed some of the men and guards who refused to obey orders." The eldest prince looked troubled. "Now many people in the clan are holding on to this matter and want to severely punish the guard commander."

"Severe punishment?" Zhao Yu frowned. "If you do, the morale of your caravan will be broken. If you don't reward those who risked their lives, who will be willing to work for your company in the future?"

The eldest prince sighed softly, "Ah, who says it's not true? That's why I asked you to help me think about it and see if there's any solution."

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not that there is no way."

"After all, he killed someone, so he is guilty. I can punish him, but he deserves to be rewarded for his merits."

“Only by clearly defining rewards and punishments can there be rules.”

In the distance, many women in the courtyard were walking quickly.

"Yuruo, the imperial concubine is here."

"Hurry, Concubine Qi is coming to test us, get ready quickly."

The women walked into the courtyard nervously.

"Well," Zhao Yu looked ahead and whispered, "I'll come up with a few ideas. Shopkeeper Zhao, do you think they're feasible? I'm just talking nonsense anyway."

"First, let the guard leader use the excuse of recuperating or going into seclusion, or arrange for him to study elsewhere."

"Anyway, we can suppress him for a while to prevent people from holding him accountable. At this time, we can publicize how he will be punished and calm public opinion."

"Also, it's not appropriate to publicly publicize his achievements, but the company can give him some practical rewards, such as precious elixirs, cultivation techniques, or something tangible."

As he turned and walked towards the courtyard, Zhao Yu continued, "Of course, if the company really values ​​someone's abilities and achievements, they can arrange a marriage and keep him firmly in their control."

"Your family must have a daughter suitable for marriage, right?"

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he quickly ran into the courtyard.

The eldest prince turned his head to look at Concubine Qi who was being walked towards the courtyard surrounded by maids, then looked at Zhao Yu who ran into the courtyard, and shook his head slightly.

"Marriage?"

"This girl is clearly betraying her own people..."

Zhao Yu is so smart and he is in the imperial city. Even if he didn't know before that Zhang Yuan led the army to start a national war, how could he not know it now?
Which of the rewards and punishments she proposed would not benefit the leader of the guards?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned me."

"The documents impeaching Lord Qingyang at the Imperial Censorate are almost piled three feet high."

A servant walked quickly to the eldest prince and reported in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the palace is as noisy as a vegetable market right now."

The eldest prince nodded and got on the carriage.

"Go to Qianyang Palace."
