Chapter 17 Businessmen of the Aolai Dynasty
"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of State to ask for your visit!"
Zhang Long bent over, walked over quickly and whispered.
"Xuan." Zhou Chuan opened his eyes and said lightly.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce the meeting of the Minister of Personnel!"
Zhang Long shouted loudly.
Zhou Chuan admired him very much. It was a special ability to call out such a righteous voice.
Wu Suwei lowered his head, walked in quickly and bowed, "Your Majesty, the old minister found that the merchants of the Aolai Dynasty came to the royal city."
"Shu Wu, are you idle and have nothing to do?"
Zhou Chuan frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly.
A businessman even made a case for this. Isn’t this panic when I’m full?
Therefore, the eyes of Mr. Wu became stern.
Wu Xiu quickly explained, "Your Majesty doesn't know that the merchants of the Aolai Dynasty have always sold arms. Their arms Maple Forest Dynasty also bought a lot."
"Selling armies?"
When Zhou Chuan heard the ordnance, hesitated for a moment and asked, "What ordnance?"
"This... this old minister couldn't explain clearly. Why would His Majesty ask him personally? He was waiting outside the palace to announce his visit?"
Wu replied respectfully, but he knew that everything he had now was given by Zhou Chuan, so he naturally felt particularly respectful of Zhou Chuan.
"Present."
Zhou Chuan also wanted to see how a businessman sold arms, whether it was the Aolai royal family who made the decision behind it, or the so-called aristocratic families who made the decision behind it.
The Aolai Dynasty is very special and has existed for a long time, but it is still an ordinary dynasty. However, this dynasty has several thousand-year-old families, which is very amazing.
Moreover, their businessmen have traveled to more than ten dynasties, including jewelry, gold, Yuanshi, silk, weapons, monsters, Liji, various ores, etc. They do everything they can make money.
Moreover, their business has always been taboos. In the early years, they had done such activities as killer organizations.
If it weren't for the Holy Church's appearance, I'm afraid that all dynasties would be chaotic by him.
However, the Fenglin Dynasty recently purchased a large amount of their weapons, which attracted the attention of the matter. Naturally, it hoped that Zhou Chuan would pay attention to this matter.
After all, the ordnance of the Wuzhou Dynasty has always been purchased from outside. For example, the Tongji Dynasty has good relations with each other, their ordnance is often sold to the Wuzhou Dynasty.
Generally, it is not purchased from merchants of the Aolai Dynasty, but in recent years, the Tongji Dynasty has been in the war of the prince's battle for the throne, and the arms transactions have also been reduced a lot.
Zhou Chuan naturally knew this. There were no mines in the Wuzhou Dynasty, so it was too difficult to create production by itself.
I became interested in the merchants of the Aolai Dynasty, and I might have unexpected surprises.
"Then let's announce it."
A trace of light flashed in Zhou Chuan's eyes, he stretched his waist and sat up straight.
Zhang Long went out to announce the imperial edict.
Soon, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in outside the door.
"Your Majesty of the Wuzhou Dynasty, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a businessman from the Aolai Dynasty."
The Aolai merchant looked serious and saluted Zhou Chuan.
"I heard you are here to sell arms?"
Zhou Chuan asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, not an ordnance."
The Aolai businessman spoke in awkwardly, like a shy girl, and a light red appeared on his face.
Wu Xiwei was shocked. He just remembered that he always said he was a businessman selling arms. Now the person involved came, but he said that it was not the case. Wu Xiwei felt that the sky was about to collapse. This was the crime of deceiving the king!
Could it be that a court official did not follow him and dug a hole?
He had asked this Aolai businessman before, and what he said was indeed an ordnance!
"Your Majesty, old minister... old minister... deserves death!"
After a moment of gurgling, he knelt on the ground and sweated coldly on his forehead.
"What are you guilty of?"
Zhou Chuan said lightly. There was no expression on his face, and he could not see any psychological activities on his face. No one knew what Zhou Chuan was thinking.
The more this happened, the more panicked he was. He knew that as soon as Zhou Chuan entered the royal city, he killed tens of thousands of rebels.
"Your Majesty, the old minister had asked him clearly before. He said he was a sold-arms. The old minister hurried into the palace, but..."
After saying this, I can no longer say anything. Can he say that he has not verified it? So what is the difference between this and the crime of deceiving the king?
Therefore, I didn't continue talking later.
"Your Majesty, when this lord asked, I did talk about the ordnance, but it was the raw material for the ordnance." The Aolai merchant then realized it and explained it repeatedly. Obviously, he also realized that it was his own trickery.
"Raw materials? Ores?" Zhou Chuan said calmly.
"Please see..."
The Aolai merchant took out a box from his arms, half-kneeled on the ground, put the box on the ground, opened the box with respect, held it on his head and said, "This is black iron ore."
"Um?"
Seeing the black stone in the box, Zhou Chuan's eyes moved and said in surprise: "Environment?"
Under the black surface, there is a faint white airflow swimming inside the stone. This ore is often the best choice for creating excellent weapons.
"Yes, your Majesty."
The Aolai merchant nodded respectfully. The stone came from Yunluo Mountain Village. He was specially a middleman to find buyers, but ordinary dynasties were not willing to cooperate with bandits at all.
This includes the Aolai Dynasty. It is also because of this that he came to the Wuzhou Dynasty because he heard that the Wuzhou Dynasty and the Fenglin Dynasty had some friction on the border.
Zhou Chuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the black iron ore, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Where is the origin, who sells it?”
Zhou Chuan said in a deep voice. He was sure that if it was really black iron ore, then there would be a lot of buyers. Why did the other party come to the Wuzhou Dynasty thousands of miles away?
There is only one possibility, that is, this black iron ore. Generally, dynasties dare not buy it, so it will definitely not be the mine of the Aolai Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I'm not sure about it, it's from Yunluo Mountain Village."
The Aolai businessman said with a tough bullet.
"So it's a bandit."
Zhou Chuan understood a little. If this is the case, it would be reasonable. After all, ordinary dynasties do not have the courage to trade with these lawless and free forces.
In the past, no one dared to do it because he was not strong enough and was afraid of being led into the house.
But Zhou Chuan is different, he doesn't care at all because he has the strength!
"Then..." Zhou Chuan said with a smile: "Tell me about the price!"
"ah!"
The Aolai merchant seemed unable to believe his ears. He was rejected on the way and wandered thousands of miles to the Wuzhou Dynasty. Here, he heard hope.
"Your Majesty is asking you!"
Zhang Long frowned and whispered.
"oh oh……"
The Aolai merchant then quickly apologized and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, that's right. They don't need the currency issued by the dynasty, they only have Yuanshi."
