I couldn't beat him, and I had to eat my meal obediently, so I had no choice but to swallow my anger.
In order to keep the warhorse, he had no choice but to pay the bill honestly.
It was the first time that the officials at the post station had seen such honest barbarians.
I was also very excited.
In the past, when receiving delegations from enemy countries in the north, we were always very cautious for fear of upsetting them and causing a big fuss.
Today really made him feel very proud.
This is the majesty of the Dayuan Dynasty, which makes people all over the world submit.
He left happily after receiving the compensation and told his men to find some more old furniture to send over.
"It's really great that our Sixth Prince has the ability to bring these unruly barbarians into obedience. It's really satisfying."
"They've earned over three thousand taels of silver in just such a short time. I wish they could stay longer."
The subordinates were also very happy, as they could get half of the money they extorted.
Looking at the gold and silver ingots, I drooled.
"Boss, let's collect the money and give it to His Highness.
I'm going to have a really good time today.
Our post station has always been a thankless task for the Qingshui government.
I didn't expect that I would make a fortune following His Highness today."
The official in charge of the post station glared at his subordinate and said, "Look at how little you have achieved. This is only the first day.
There are plenty of opportunities to make money.
I can't bother Your Highness every day just for this little money.
If we really do this, it will only show that we are useless.
Maybe even anger His Highness.
Save all the money and no one is allowed to touch it.
After the reception, I will give all the money to His Highness so that he can give it to his wife."
"Ah, no way, didn't His Highness agree before that half of it would be ours?
Why have you sent gifts to His Highness?
What if His Highness accepts all of it? We will suffer huge losses."
The people under him simply don't understand.
"What do you know? Your Highness spent so much effort and even risked offending the barbarians to make so much money.
Saying that he would give us half of it might just be a polite gesture.
Let's just be happy if we can finish this task safely.
If His Highness can remember our kindness when he receives benefits, won’t his future success be just around the corner?
You must have a long-term vision. It is already good enough to be able to work for His Highness.
This is a blessing that you can never get in your lifetime.
You are still thinking of making money from His Highness.
I think you'll just be a pawn your whole life."
The subordinates looked aggrieved after being scolded. They had never thought so far ahead.
In fact, they are already very content with having a little money and being content with a small fortune.
I have never thought that I could get close to the people above me and become successful.
They don't have such a big collar.
But I dare not tell the truth in front of my boss.
Even if he was unhappy in his heart, he had to pretend to be impressed and flatter him on the surface: "You really are worthy of being the leader, you always think long-term.
If you become successful in the future, don’t forget your brothers.”
"Don't worry, you are all brothers that I brought up. Even if I get promoted in the future, I will have my own people. How could I forget you?
Come back and keep an eye on these barbarians. Do everything according to His Highness' instructions.
As long as we don’t make any mistakes, our good days will come.”
The post station officials were very excited.
If you can make great contributions, you will definitely be promoted.
He has already seen that the current Sixth Prince is no ordinary person.
She is gaining more and more attention from the emperor, and maybe she will have the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future.
As long as I can remember him, why would I worry about having no future?
The more I think about it, the more motivated I become.
The members of the barbarian delegation became more and more angry as they thought about it. They spent a lot of silver but couldn't even eat enough.
So no matter how much the cost is, they don’t have to pay for it themselves.
But being a diplomatic envoy to another country is a lucrative job, and they can also keep some of the remaining money.
If you take all the money and don't get any for yourself, you will be a big sucker.
"We can't just let this happen. We have to find a way to retaliate."
"Let's wait for this matter. After a whole meal, my stomach is still growling with hunger.
Since we can’t get enough food at the inn, let’s go out and find a better restaurant.”
As soon as these words came out, the others' eyes lit up: "Yes, the posthouse is full of guards from the Dayuan court, who deliberately stayed to guard us.
Let’s not stay here to eat in the future. We can just go to a random restaurant outside and eat whatever we want.”
"You're right. How dare you treat us as suckers? We won't let them earn this share of the money.
Let’s go to the street and eat!”
The barbarian delegation decided to go shopping together.
When they were leaving Tang, the people at the post station did not stop them. They just came to tell them that they must abide by the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty and must not cause trouble when leaving Tang.
Even if a conflict occurs or someone is deceived, it must be reported to the authorities and handled by officials.
Otherwise, it is very likely that you will violate the laws of Dayuan, and there will be no leniency and everyone will be arrested.
Although the barbarians looked disdainful, they were also frightened.
From the very beginning, Dayuan's attitude was extremely tough, and they didn't take them seriously at all.
I'm really worried about finding a reason to punish them.
After leaving the post station, the members of the delegation were still indignant.
"How dare they treat us like this? We absolutely cannot let them off."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Just record this account and pay it back double when their officials go on a diplomatic mission to the barbarians."
“The prices of food at the inn are ridiculously high. We only need to eat one meal to know the price of a normal meal.
If it is too much higher, we will complain to the emperor in person when we meet him.
I just don't believe that such a great country would dare to blackmail the delegation and no one would deal with it.
Let’s see which country dares to come here in the future.”
"This is a good idea. As long as we find evidence, it will be much easier to deal with them."
After setting a goal, everyone is full of energy.
I found a nice restaurant and had dinner there.
Little did they know that after they came out, their every move would be watched by others.
By the time they entered the restaurant, Li Ye's men had already entered through the back door.
He pulled the chef Xiao and the shopkeeper aside and gave them detailed instructions.
"Listen carefully and do everything you are told.
These are all barbarians. I don’t know how many of us have been killed by them.
The price of food should be increased at least tenfold, and they should be punished."
As a Dayuan person, I will never let go of the opportunity to deal with the enemy.
The shopkeeper replied excitedly: "Don't worry, sir. With your words, I will definitely not show mercy."
"Hey, I didn't expect that our capital city could also deal with barbarians."
The guy was full of energy and immediately rolled up his sleeves.
After the barbarians came in, they didn't even wait for anyone to greet them.
I was so angry that I shouted at the door: "Where are all the people? Why didn't anyone even say hello?"
