After listening to the envoys from various countries finishing their demands, Baili Mochen knew what he wanted and smiled lightly.
Winter came early this year? It was only early autumn, and he finally understood what these people were paying attention to!
No wonder they didn't make any move this time. It turned out that they had already thought of countermeasures.
If he doesn't come back this time, these people will probably still watch coldly as Bailihe fights to the death with the emperor or other princes, with both sides losing.
And they just sit back and reap the profits. After their internal strength is greatly damaged, they will come to beg for food. Just when Liaodong and the Huns unite, it is not them who have the final say on how much food they need.
When they were full and full, before Tianan's strength recovered, they had enough food and turned around to annex the fat piece of Tianan.
Unfortunately, they never expected that he could come back safe and sound after falling so high to the bottom of the cliff.
By the time Baili Mochen came back, it would be too late for them to make any further moves, so they missed a good opportunity in vain.
But now they don't have to count on that. The only feasible option is to get more food!
But Baili Mochen will really let them get their wish? the answer is...
Of course it's impossible!
"Everyone, I know that the situation in all countries is not easy. It's just that those who exchange food to buy food are not one or two families, nor one country and two countries. First of all, I must ensure the livelihood of the people of my country, right? Then "Last year, there were serious droughts and floods in various parts of the south, and there was a locust plague a few days ago. I am afraid that this year's food will not be able to meet everyone's needs!"
Baili Mochen sat at the top and said with a troubled look on his face.
Telling lies with open eyes and pretending to be pitiful? Who wouldn’t!
Baili Mochen was just pretending, and what he said was not necessarily a lie. For example, there were indeed floods and droughts, but they had little impact.
It was a normal thing almost every year, but now Baili Mochen said it was an excuse for not giving him food.
After hearing Baili Mochen's words, the envoys from other countries also felt something was wrong and asked quickly.
"Then how much will the prince prepare to give us? If it doesn't work, just do the same as in previous years!" Murong Di asked eagerly.
"Well... I'm afraid it won't work!" Baili Mochen said calmly, playing with the jade cup in his hand.
"At most half!" Baili Mochen put down half of the drink in the glass and said coldly.
"Your Majesty! This... this won't work!" Murong Di waved his hands immediately.
half? How can that be done? He only gives half. I don’t know how many people will starve to death this year. He can’t let them all starve to death!
Murong Di thought so and asked for it.
"Yes, King Yao, weren't there locust plagues, droughts and floods in the past years? Why are they suddenly reduced by half this year?" Prince Muhan said with a look of reluctance.
"I know how much you love and care for your people. Half of this is still squeezed out of my treasury. I can't do anything if there are too many. You should think about it carefully!"
Although Baili Mochen's attitude didn't seem tough, everyone present knew that no one could change the decision made by King Yao.
Everyone looked at each other and finally got up helplessly!
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. How about asking Your Majesty to let us all go back and think about it?"
Prince Molan and Lou Qing stood up and bowed to Baili Mochen.
"It's natural, everyone, please!" Baili Mochen nodded happily.
consider? Is there anything to consider, and do they have the capital to consider it
