The Tibetan deputy envoy was full of anger, "We have been greatly harmed by the traitorous merchants of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Shang Nang frowned slightly, squinted his eyes and asked, "What happened?"
"Prime Minister, the waiter at the Honglu Inn only asked us for two taels of money for the beautiful glass teacup you broke just now. Moreover, among the glass shops in Chang'an City, there are only one such teacup.
Two coins are required.
And those profiteers from the Tang Dynasty who came to Tubo actually dared to ask me for twenty guan!"
"Twenty strings?"
Shang Nang murmured, "So, the price of that glass water cup is not consistent!"
"Not Liang Guan?"
The Tibetan envoy was startled, "Prime Minister, is it possible that the Honglu Guest House asked me for less money?"
Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help but raise his head and glanced coldly at the Tibetan envoy, "Are you a fool?"
"Prime minister?"
The Tibetan envoy asked with aggrieved face.
"snort!"
Shang Nang snorted helplessly and explained: "The price of this kind of glass should be consistent, or even lower!"
"What?"
At this time, all the Tibetan envoys could not help but look surprised.
“The price is so low?”
But no one questioned Shang Nang's words.
"You can put on some clothes from the Tang Dynasty and go to the glass shop to inquire!"
Shang Nang Road.
"The great minister is wise!"
Hearing this, all the envoys could not help but salute Shang Nang, and then two Tibetan envoys withdrew.
Inside the house, Shang Nang just frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he did not stop him.
Then, he handed the letter in his hand to a confidant on the side, "Send this letter to Zamp quickly!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The confidant responded, took the letter, and walked out quickly.
Inside the room, Shang Nang glanced at the pen in his hand, and a fiery sound flashed in his eyes.
"The Tang Dynasty was indeed extremely prosperous. Even luxurious and exquisitely decorated objects such as fountain pens could be manufactured. And the price of that glass artifact was so low. If I had the chance, I really wanted to meet the King of Jin! ...
…”
With that said, he walked to the sofa nearby, made a cup of tea, and drank it.
On the same floor, two warriors also came out of the room of the Tuyuhun mission, holding a letter in their arms and hurriedly walking out.
Every move of the Tubo and Tuyuhun envoys was monitored and reported to the palace at any time.
Shang Nang and others did not know this.
And half an hour later.
The two Tubo envoys also ran back with livid faces. When they saw Shang Nang, their eyes turned red.
"Prime Minister, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty are too treacherous!"
Shang Nang did not reply, but looked at the two subordinates quietly.
Seeing Shang Nang's expression, the two Tibetan envoys were shocked and said quickly: "I'm telling you, Prime Minister, that glass tea cup only costs four hundred coins, and you can buy three glass cups with the same money.
As for larger glass jars, glassware and other items, they are also cheap.
The larger ones are a little more expensive, but each piece only lasts two pieces at most.
And the cheapest items are glass cups..."
"But what surprises me is that the price of the yak jerky that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty bought from me in Tubo was only 10% more than the price they received from us!"
"I see!"
After listening, Shang Nang's heart moved slightly. The things that had always puzzled him before were finally figured out at this moment!
"Prime minister?"
All the Tubo envoys looked puzzled.
"Why do you think those merchants from the Tang Dynasty can offer us such high prices for the yak jerky?"
Shang Nang asked.
At this time, all the Tubo envoys finally understood.
"Daxiang, is it because of those glass objects?"
"It's natural!"
Shang Nang sighed softly and said: "When those Tang people came to Tubo, most of them used precious objects such as glass and tea leaves in exchange for yak jerky.
Although we have raised the price of yak jerky very high.
However, those Tang merchants also raised the prices of items such as glass and tea very high, so that the two were comparable, and those Tang merchants did not suffer too much!"
"It's so true!"
"The great minister is wise..."
Suddenly, all the Tibetan envoys looked like they were suddenly enlightened.
Shang Nang nodded slightly.
Immediately, his face became solemn and he said in a deep voice.
"Okay, these things are just trivial things! Don't forget, why did we come to Datang!"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I am here to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. Even if the peace negotiation fails in the end, no matter what, I will delay the Tang Dynasty from sending troops to attack Tubo.
Finally, I also invite the caravans from the Tang Dynasty to sell me glass, tea, salt, liquor and other treasures from Tubo again!"
A Tubo envoy said quickly.
"idiot!"
Shang Nang directly glared at the envoy coldly.
"Although these are very important to me in Tubo, there is another thing that is even more important!"
"One more thing?"
Hearing this, all the Tibetan envoys were a little surprised.
"May I ask what is going on with the Prime Minister?"
"bomb!"
Shang Nang said directly.
"bomb?"
All the Tubo envoys were startled, but when they realized what was happening, their faces were filled with joy.
"Exactly!"
Shang Nang nodded slightly and whispered: "As long as we get the secret recipe for that kind of bomb, I, the Tubo Queen, can also create such a powerful bomb.
The strong cities of the Tang Dynasty will be like nothing to me, Tubo. Whenever I, Tubo, want to attack the Tang Dynasty, I can attack the Tang Dynasty at any time!"
"Extremely yes, extremely yes..."
I don't know if they thought of something good, but all the Tibetan envoys couldn't help but laugh.
"So, no matter what, this time you will use your best skills to find out the source of that bomb, and then no matter how much it costs, you will get the secret recipe of this magical object!"
Shang Nang stared closely at the Tubo envoys and said with excitement on his face.
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we will do our best and fight to the death!"
All the Tubo envoys quickly clasped their fists and saluted respectfully.
"Very good!"
Shang Nang nodded slightly, and then continued: "This matter is a top secret, you must be more careful. If you are caught by the Tang Dynasty, I don't need to tell you the result, you should understand it!"
Hearing this, all the Tibetan envoys shuddered and looked solemn.
"I'll understand later!"
"Okay, you can go there later!"
Shang Nang Road.
"yes!"
All the Tibetan envoys responded and left one after another.
In the next few days, a group of Tibetan envoys ran around Chang'an City.
At the same time, I saw some shops and went in to inquire.
Of course, the inquiries were about ordinary items, but this matter aroused the vigilance of some shopkeepers.
