Chapter 1082 Only Benefits Last
It's so short that it's only one breath, just one breath. It's hard for ordinary people to climb a tree in this breath. If someone with great skills is only enough to climb a tree, he still has to win the trust and leave safely without being exposed to their eyes at all. How is it possible?
Chen Tianxiao's heart was like beating a drum. Is there really such a mysterious person in the world?
"It's better to wait quietly than a marquis." Dewey walked in and saw the guards who were scolded so hard that they didn't dare to raise their heads. He boldly said: "Since the other party wants to cooperate, although he is elusive, he has not been an enemy with us. It is still unknown whether it is an enemy or a friend."
"That's all, where have those people gone?"
"The people sent out said that they had arrived at Wang'an Mountain. They left Wang'an Mountain before dawn today and went south directly." Dewey said: "No one left the team. I think the people who came to meet the Marquis must not be these people who have been to Beimo."
Chen Tianxiao raised his eyes, and Dewey knew what he was concerned about, and immediately replied: "They escorted a batch of goods to Beimo and traded with Beimo. This time they brought back a lot of gold and silver, which should be the payment for the goods."
"Trade, they really made a deal with Beimo," Chen Tianxiao rarely breathed: "Who are they trading with?"
Dewey thought for a while and said, "The subordinates mobilized the potential Beimo people. I heard that they entered the royal court. They were not from Dongyue people, but from a small country. This time they went to Beimo, they were in the name of a delegation."
"A small border country?" Chen Tianxiao turned the ring on his finger, his eyes a little dark: "Forget it."
If it is true that the two countries have diplomatic relations, he should be cautious. After all, he knows nothing about the other side. He only knows that they are engaged in trade with the Beimo and has also borrowed the opportunity of trade with the Three Kingdoms. If it is as they said, it is better to make some contributions to ensure the smooth flow of the Beimo and each gets what it is.
It's just waiting.
This wait will be four days.
Four days later, the Marquis' Mansion welcomed a guest, all in black, thin and sharp eyes. The letter of worship was only a few big words of dragons and phoenixes on the letter. The reply letter had been received and was here for an appointment.
His attitude was unpretentious. If he had not received the Marquis' explanation in advance, the guards would have beaten this man out of the mansion!
The young man is Shen Li, the secret guard. Shen Li rarely shows up in public and looks no different from his usual appearance. After seeing the Marquis of Zhenbei, he only sent a letter: "Please check it out."
Chen Tianxiao's brow jumped several times, and he couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't seen anyone leave the escort team for gold and silver, or if the people they sent out were too useless and didn't notice it at all, and this person's breath was so calm that it was scary.
Without thinking too much, Chen Tianxiao opened the letter. The handwriting in the letter was very neat and ordinary, and there was no obvious pen tip. It could only be called neat and beautiful, neutral, and even made him unable to tell whether the person who wrote the letter was a man or a woman.
The wording in the letter was plain but true. After a careful analysis of the pros and cons, Shen Li slowly spoke: "I am not good at talking, so I have His Majesty Chen Xin. I believe that after reading it, the Marquis will have a conclusion in his heart."
"I would like to ask the Marquis to give you a reply. Whether it is successful or not, I can go back and reply to His Majesty." Shen Li didn't look at Dewey who had been guarding Chen Tianxiao's side: "I'm afraid that only we can satisfy the income of the Marquis, and the Emperor of Dongyue cannot interfere."
The letter mentioned that not only salt, but also many materials can be given to Zhenbeijun at a price lower than the market, which is more than what Chen Tianxiao thought. How can he not be moved?
The price of salt, cotton coat, and even grain are lower than the market price!
Chen Tianxiao looked up and said, "Don't your country lack food?"
"The primary school has a lot of land and the output has been increasing. Now there are already food stored. As for cotton coats, it is probably the cotton coats that we are in for not long, not as cold as Beiguan," Chen Li said without changing his face: "We have a surplus, and Beiguan just needs it."
Dewey raised his eyes. The guy in front of him seemed to be not good at socializing at first glance. His straightforward approach was not smooth, unlike Su Baoer.
But this just happened to make Chen Tianxiao's appetite. Chen Tianxiao was born as a general, only looking at the exchanges and what he got.
"What you are trying to do is to better trade with the Beimo?" Chen Tianxiao questioned: "Why has your country not been revealed? I don't know what your country's name is, what is the name of your emperor, and where is it?"
"I don't know how to gaze. It's just that our country's territory does not border the Northern Desert. The Dongyue does not look down on the goods that our country is proud of at all. It has not been revealed before. It's just that our dynasty has never known that there are mountains outside the mountains, and has been closed to the country and developed on its own."
"If someone hadn't accidentally walked to the border of Dongyue, he wouldn't have known that there was a sky outside the sky, but Dongyue, we couldn't stand it. The emperor of Dongyue has always been tough and arrogant, and he has no shortage of salt and food, and he wouldn't have shortage of winter clothes. Instead, the Beimo would make our dynasty profitable."
"It's just that the two countries are not bordering that they have to borrow Beiguan. We have thought about contacting the Dongyue court, but... Guowei's words are light and have never been able to get the key points." Chen Li said: "Since you can't climb high, you won't climb high."
Chen Li was also a descendant of Daqi. He was full of prejudice against Dongyue and hated Emperor Yuan even more. Three generations of emperors have been killed by Xiao You's grandfather since Xiao You's grandfather. Now it naturally brings a bit of natural resentment.
This kind of disgust and disdain appropriately catered to Chen Tianxiao's subtle psychology, and found the feeling of unity of hatred and enemy. He tapped his fingers and suddenly said, "What is your country's name?"
"Da Kun." Chen Li did not explain much about the word Kun. Chen Tianxiao's mind was the character Kun. Taking Kun from Qiankun seemed to fit the country's name. He was about to ask down, but Dewey suddenly spoke: "I talked about giving salt, not selling salt."
"But this time you changed your opinion and turned into a transaction below the market price. Why is this?"
"It is indeed a gift, lower than the market price, and even lower than the price of private salt. What is the difference between selling and giving half a half? I wonder if this adult knows a truth - whether it is just asking or paying, this relationship will not last long."
"Only the interest relationship lasts for a long time. Please consider it carefully, and we will also make the worst plan. If it really doesn't work, we can only go to your Majesty to bow down in order to get through Beiguan." Chen Li deliberately bit the word "being humble".
These four words are a hidden pain and a weakness for Chen Tianxiao.
Chen Tianxiao only felt that these words were harsh. In Beiguan, Emperor Yuan could reach here, but what he could control was not as good as himself.
Chen Li raised his hand: "If we can't get what we want, we will disturb you."
