Xiao Lingyue interrupted him sarcastically: "People in Guizhai are busy with many things, and there are big customers like those in the south. I can understand that they look down on my small business!"
The middle-aged man was confused by her. Hearing her unkind tone, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! I have been in the mines. I really didn't know that something like this happened in the village..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain it anymore!" Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said, "We are all businessmen, so instead of talking nonsense, let's do something real!"
The middle-aged man choked.
Xiao Lingyue raised her lips and smiled and said: "Your village killed my people, and now they fall into my hands. How can it be justified if the village owner doesn't shed some blood?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "How many do you want?"
Xiao Lingyue took advantage of the situation and asked, "What price did you pay for the goods you sold to the people in the south?"
The price of iron ore is an important secret.
The middle-aged man hesitated.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes: "I only pay one-third, I want all your goods!"
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious: "This can't work! The price we gave Nanfang was not high to begin with, one-third is too little, at least add half!"
Xiao Lingyue smiled and said: "You also set the price in the south. How much is it for you to say?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "I'm kidding, how can I decide the price of Nanfang? To be honest, I give Nanfang this price..."
He whispered a number.
Then he said: "One-third of the price is too low, let's discuss it again!"
Xiao Lingyue was shocked and couldn't help but look at each other with Zhan Beihan.
...isn’t it?
The price of iron ore is so low?
This is not as high as the price Tianyi Pavilion gave her.
Zhan Beihan suddenly said: "You give such a price to Nanfang because you are only responsible for shipping the goods, and the people of Nanfang are responsible for transporting the ore and managing the distance?"
Xiao Lingyue immediately looked at the middle-aged man, only to see his face change slightly and his eyes dodge.
Xiao Lingyue sneered: "It seems true!"
The so-called southerners refer to Nanyan.
In other words.
In the iron ore smuggling business between Nanyan and Bandit Village, Nanyan is responsible for the important checkpoints.
Including transportation routes and manpower management.
There may even be people in the Northern Qin Dynasty who were bribed to cover for them.
Bandit Village is only responsible for mining and shipping, and does not need to take care of other things. Naturally, it has no confidence to demand high prices.
However, no matter how low the price of ore is, the bandit village sells out tens of thousands of kilograms of it every month, and it can be sold for several years!
Added together it’s an astronomical figure!
Zhan Beihan and Xiao Lingyue stood in the corridor holding the middle-aged man hostage.
The light in the mine was poor, and coupled with the whistling mountain wind, the bandits standing below couldn't hear what they were saying.
Without Big Brother's order, the bandits couldn't help but start a commotion.
Many people whispered.
"What are these two people doing here?"
"Killed so many of our brothers, and even held our eldest brother hostage..."
"We might as well fight them!"
"Are you crazy? How can we fight..."
At this time, a faint voice sounded: "They are all from the imperial court, and they are here to save these slaves! We can threaten them with slaves, let them release their eldest brother, and then rush forward to kill them together!" Hot 『』
