Super Pirate Ship

After seeing Pierce, Mark returned to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion again. This time he did not say any high-sounding words, but directly said: "Lord Jiang, please give me a price. How much will it cost for us to take away Prince Pierce!"

Jiang Tian said with a smile: "There is no hurry, I always need to fill my stomach!" As he said this, he clapped his hands crisply, and suddenly a group of young girls in scantily clad clothes came in carrying dishes one after another. After leaving, Jiang Tiancai smiled and said, "Mr. Mark, please have a meal!"

Although he was extremely unwilling to delay like this, all the initiative was in Jiang Tian's hands. He could only resort to tricks, lowered his head and ate in a low voice. The delicacies tasted like chewing wax in his mouth. .

After finally seeing Jiang Tian wipe his mouth, Mark immediately said: "Lord Jiang, can we talk now?"

Jiang Tian said: "Of course!"

As he said that, he picked up a white cloth from the desk. The guard took it and handed it to Mark. The latter took the list and looked at it. He almost had the urge to kill when he saw clearly listed on the white cloth:

There are 5,828 ordinary soldiers in total. The normal ransom in the mainland is ten gold coins per person. At 10 times the price, it is 100 gold coins per person, for a total of 582,800 gold coins!

There are 126 mid-level officer centurions in total. The normal ransom in the mainland is one hundred gold coins per person. At ten times the price, it is 1,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 126,000 gold coins.

There are 8 senior officers and captains of thousands. The normal ransom in the mainland is 1,000 gold coins per person. At ten times the price, it is 10,000 gold coins per person, totaling 80,000 gold coins.

In addition, 49 officers with baron titles were found. The normal ransom in the mainland is 500 gold coins per person. At ten times the price, it is 5,000 gold coins per person, totaling 245,000 gold coins.

There are 14 officers with the title of viscount. The normal ransom in the mainland is one thousand gold coins per person, which is ten times the price. That is 10,000 gold coins per person, totaling 140,000 gold coins.

There are 4 officers with the title of earl, and the normal ransom in the mainland is 10,000 gold coins per person, which is ten times the price. That's 100,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 400,000 gold coins.

There is also a corpse of your Marquis. I will give you a discount and it will be worth 100,000 gold coins.

And Prince Pierce, if you want to be humble, I won't give you the face of the Principality of Louis. So we weighed it three times, and in order to take care of your face, we offered a one-time price of 5 million gold coins.

The food, accommodation, medical expenses, etc. for these days are 100,000 gold coins.

Total, 6,773,800 gold coins!

After reading them all carefully, Mark almost spit out a mouthful of blood. This is not a ransom, it is clearly a robbery, and he asked angrily: "Lord Jiang, we come with great sincerity. Why are you here?" Are you going to tease us?"

Jiang Tian was unhappy: "Why did I tease you? If I was not sincere, your officers would have been dragged to the mines to mine. I would still serve them with delicious food and drink, and Pierce, You just saw how well he lived here!" As he spoke, a cold gaze was directed at Mark, "I see that you clearly don't want to save the fourth prince, haha, you want to use my hand to kill him. Let your master have one less competitor to inherit the title of duke in the future!"

There are a total of 19 princes in the Principality of Louis. However, there are only four people who are truly capable of competing for the title of duke, and Mark was an elementary school teacher at the second prince's residence before becoming an official. Of course, these were all revealed to Jiang Tian by Pierce while drinking.

"You. You are talking nonsense. How can you slander me, Mark, who is upright and dedicated to serving the public good!" Mark was so angry that his face turned pale. However, although what he said was very convincing, he was still worried in his heart. If the negotiations break down, I'm afraid that such remarks in the country will become more popular, which will be detrimental to the second prince.

"Haha, only you know whether it is yes or no!" Jiang Tian said.

Mark suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Why is the ransom 10 times higher than the normal price in mainland China?"

This was not something Mark could see, but it was clearly written on the white cloth, charging ten times the normal price in mainland China, which is too arrogant.

Jiang Tian said: "Isn't this just to take care of the face of your Duke Louis? It's such a big country. If the ransom paid is too small, wouldn't it make the whole continent laugh? And think about it, if you redeem it at ten times the price Go, you can imagine that those soldiers and officers will definitely be grateful to your Grand Duke. Under their intentional or unintentional propaganda, your Grand Duke will soon become a benevolent king that the people rush to praise! And you will definitely be generously rewarded by the Grand Duke!"

"Okay, this makes sense, so why do you have to collect money twice? You collected it once based on your military rank and once based on your noble title. You really think our Principality of Louis is being taken advantage of!" Mark asked angrily.

Jiang Tian said plausibly, "Since they have two identities, it is normal to collect money twice!"

"But the rules on the mainland are only calculated based on title, and Prince Pierce's title is only earl, so he should be paid according to earl. Why do you need 5 million gold coins? Dukes on the mainland are not worth this price!!" Mark argued road.

"Haha, that's just the rules of the mainland, and these are my rules, because you are trading with me now, so you must follow my rules! Pierce is only an earl now, but he is likely to be a duke in the future. So I have to think about the future!”

"Poof!" Mark almost vomited blood. Does the ransom have to consider other people's future achievements? Let's put it this way, each person's ransom can be collected at 5 million gold coins. Who knows whether he will be lucky enough to create a country in the future.

Jiang Tian smiled faintly and said, "You only need to answer whether you accept or not. You don't need to see how I collect the money!"

A tuft of beard under Mark's chin was already sticking up. This was not the first time he had led a delegation to negotiate, but this was the first time he felt so aggrieved. His face turned red from holding it in, but he couldn't hold back a single word. .

6,773,800 gold coins is really too high. You must know that the bottom line given by the Grand Duke is only 2 million gold coins. This is a difference of almost 4 times. Mark has no power to make decisions.

"I need to ask the Grand Duke for instructions, I can't make a decision!" After a long time, Mark said "chi" twice.

"Of course!" Jiang Tian acted very considerate, but his face turned cold immediately, "However, I only give you three days. If you don't pay the ransom after three days, you will be punished by everyone from Prince Pierce to ordinary people. Soldiers, all their heads will fall to the ground!"

"You! If you really do this, the Phillips Federation will be destroyed in a matter of seconds!" Mark said bitterly.

"You don't have to worry about this anymore!" Jiang Tian said calmly. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
