Chapter 523 Inu Shang prepares to sell Japanese territory again
Hearing this, Inugami Mita was shocked. He didn't expect that Datang was so well-informed.
However, he still hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty the King of Jin, although our Japanese country captured Baekje City, before our warriors of the Japanese country could completely establish a foothold, the Baekje thief country directly sent additional troops and started from us.
The Japanese warriors captured the city and took it back to the city. But we, the Japanese warriors, fought across the sea and had no logistical supplies, so we could only retreat!"
"It's such a pity!"
Li Xuan sighed softly.
Inugami Mitaru also had a look of regret.
If the Japanese nation attacks a few more Baekje cities, they will definitely be able to plunder more property!
"Inugami, for the sake of your pity, I can purchase two more islands or territories from Japan, but not more. I want so much territory from Japan, but it's of no use!"
Li Xuan said.
"Thank you, His Highness King Jin!"
Quan Shang Santian was overjoyed and thanked Li Xuan.
"It's just that without millions of dollars, it's not enough to ask Datang to send troops!"
Li Xuan said again.
"Millions of dollars?"
Hearing this, Inugami Mita Shu couldn't help but asked hurriedly: "May I ask His Highness the King of Jin, what should I do?"
After thinking about it, Li Xuan said again: "I can send someone to send a message to the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, the princes or the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to see if they are interested in buying your Japanese territory!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Jin!" Inugami Mita was overjoyed again.
"However, I have no control over whether those aristocratic families or the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will buy your Japanese territory, and what price they can pay for it!" Li Xuan said.
"Please rest assured, His Highness Prince Jin, your envoy will definitely satisfy those aristocratic families or the princes!"
Inugami Mita Shu responded quickly.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly and asked again: "Do you have anything else to do?"
The sudden change of topic made Inugami Mita Suga stunned.
However, he nodded quickly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, your envoy is here this time, carrying five hundred kilograms of gold nuggets, and wants to sell them to the King of Jin!
"Five hundred pounds of gold nuggets?"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then his face became full of interest.
"Where?"
Seeing this, Inugami Mita Shu's eyes flashed with ecstasy. The King of Jin really loved gold, and he said quickly, "Your Majesty, the King of Jin, your envoy has already transported the gold nuggets to the outside of the village!"
"Go and bring it quickly. I want to see it in person!" Li Xuan said.
"yes!"
Inugami Mita Shu responded and walked out quickly.
At the same time, the housekeeper Li Chang also followed out.
If no one were to take him with him, the Japanese hozen would not be able to enter Lijiazhuang with just Inugami, Santian and Shu.
"Master, do you really want to help this Japanese hozen to sell Japanese territory?"
Inside the room, Li Chengqian said with some doubts.
Li Xuan chuckled and said slowly.
"I only help him contact those powerful aristocratic families and His Majesty. I don't help him sell it. As for His Majesty and those aristocratic families, I have no control over whether they buy it or not!"
"But Master, if someone really paid for the territory of Japan, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty really want to send troops to Baekje?"
Li Chengqian asked hurriedly.
"If we had enough money, why didn't the Tang Dynasty send troops to Baekje?"
Li Xuan looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.
"But, we, the Tang Dynasty, are helping the Japanese Hozen..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian thought of something, his eyes widened and his face was filled with joy.
"Master, you want us, the Tang Dynasty, to spend the money of the Japanese state to attack Baekje. In this way, the territory of Baekje and the Japanese state will become our territory!"
"Not too stupid!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian speechlessly and said, "If the Japanese Hozen can really afford millions of dollars, why does it matter if we, the Tang Dynasty, send troops?"
"However, the prerequisite for all this is that someone wants to purchase the territory of the Japanese country, or the Japanese dog-mounted hozen can make the decision for the Japanese monarch!"
"Then the Japanese monkey dares to deceive the king, or the Japanese monarch dares to default on his debt, let's capture his Japanese country first!"
Li Chengqian said fiercely.
"This matter will be discussed later!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and looked out the door.
At this moment, Li Chang also walked in with Inugami Santian and several personal guards behind him, carrying two boxes.
Then, he placed it in front of Li Xuanman and opened it.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared inside the box.
On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi could not help but widen their eyes. This was the first time they had seen so many gold nuggets.
Li Xuan looked overjoyed, bent down, stretched out his hand and took out a piece.
Then, squeeze hard.
As expected, it can be pinched and moved, and it is indeed gold.
Then, he looked at Inugami Mitsuda who was standing aside.
"How much are you going to buy these gold nuggets?"
"Going back to His Majesty the King of Jin, Your Majesty would like to sell a pound of gold nuggets for a hundred gold!"
After seeing Li Xuan's happy face, Inugami Mita Shu waited for Li Xuan's words.
Therefore, when Li Xuangang asked, Quan Shang Santian replied directly.
"One hundred strings?"
Hearing this, Quan Shang Santian couldn't help but look tense.
"If His Highness the King of Jin feels that it is too expensive, the envoy can still make the decision and lower the price for His Highness the King of Jin. However, I would like to ask His Highness the King of Jin to forgive me. These gold nuggets are the gold nuggets given to the envoy by His Majesty the Japanese Kingdom and Minister Suga.
Even if you don’t lower the price too much, please don’t lower it too much!”
"Steward, how much is a pound of gold worth in our country, the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Xuan did not answer, but looked at the butler Li Chang standing aside.
In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were not currencies. The most common use of gold and silver was by the nobles and the royal family to make jewelry and other valuable accessories.
However, Li Xuan was not very clear about how much a pound of gold could be sold for.
"Your Majesty, under normal circumstances, one tael of gold can be sold for five guan, and one pound of gold is fifty guan. However, the gold brought by the Japanese envoys has many impurities, and the color is not too correct. It should be
The reason is that the smelting process is not good and the purity of the gold is not very high.
Therefore, this low-grade gold can only be worth thirty guan per kilogram at most!"
Li Chang said slowly.
"Thirty strings?"
After hearing this, Inugami Santian looked anxious and quickly looked at Li Xuan eagerly.
"Please, Your Highness the King of Jin, take pity on this poor little guy. One pound of gold can only be sold for 30 guan, so I don't dare to do that. Otherwise, when I go back to the Japanese country, I will definitely be torn to pieces by His Majesty and Minister Su Ga."
part!"
"In business, I will never harm my interests because of your pity!"
Li Xuan glared at Inugami Mita, who was not very good at acting, and said again: "Besides, whether you can escape Baekje's pursuit or not, you may return to Japan!"
"ah?"
Inugami Mitaru looked startled.
Immediately, he looked sad again.
"But Your Highness, Prince Jin, has never sold a pound of gold for thirty guan. This price is really too little! Your Highness, how about ninety guan?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xuan eagerly.
"Ninety strings?"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sneered, "In our Tang Dynasty, a pound of gold can be sold for fifty guan, how dare you ask for 90 guan?"
"Qushang, do you think I am stupid and have too much money, so I am easy to deceive?"
"Your Highness, King Jin, forgive me! Your Highness, King Jin, forgive me!"
After hearing this, Inugami Mita Shu knelt down directly, his face full of fear, and he begged for mercy!
"So, I'll give you forty guan for one pound of gold, whether you want to sell it or not!"
Li Xuan sighed heavily, "I am also a person who buys and sells by force. If you still think the price is low, you can find other aristocratic families or powerful people to sell gold!"
