Chapter 67 Let's slaughter Dakang together!
After entering the city, Liu Mingjing gave Yu Chong, the king of Shache Kingdom, ten bottles of two taels of flower essential oil, one hundred yuan of soap and ten bags of one pound of white sugar to Yu Chong.
Regarding the use of flower essential oil, Liu Mingjing invited a palace maid on the spot to give Yu Chong a facial massage.
After a short pot of tea time, Yu Chong felt that he had opened up a new world, with birds singing and flowers everywhere... He wished he could have a full-body massage as Liu Mingjing said.
At the same time, he knew that even Emperor Dakang did this, and he felt that his level and big size had also improved.
With this good start, naturally, a dinner in the palace would be a joy to the guests and hosts.
Yu Chong naturally agreed to Liu Mingjing's request to buy Shache and Horse.
They have a lot of horses. Sometimes because they don’t have enough forage and cannot afford to raise them, they have to put the horses back on the grassland and make them a herd of wild horses.
However, there are also benefits to having more wraths nearby. The endurance and vitality of wraths are better than the steeds raised.
If you release your own horse and match it with the wild horses, the horses you gave birth will be even better.
Over time, the horses of Shache Kingdom became better and better, and even the quality was not inferior to those of the horses of great powers such as Cheshi, Loulan and Kucha.
Unfortunately, it is too remote, from Shache Kingdom to the nearest Kucha, it is more than 600 miles to Loulan, and the tribes closest to the Uighurs and Western Qiang are more than 1,300 miles away.
It is so remote that the Western Qiang and the Uighurs are not willing to come to them to recruit horses and walk back all the way. I don’t know how much money, time, and horse materials are spent.
Therefore, the horses of Shache Kingdom can often be sold to Persia more than 600 miles away at a low price, but it is also a lot of trouble to compete with Dayuan horses.
In such a harsh market competition environment, the horses of Shache Country were sold to past caravans for consumption.
In order for caravans to come and buy them often, they had to directly slander the horse and then sell them to the caravan. How sad it is for a horse-loving nation.
Although Yu Chong agreed to sell the horse and he didn't look so smart, during the actual negotiations, Liu Mingqi still met an opponent.
The opponent was Prime Minister Shache Kingdom who went out of the city yesterday to welcome them.
Yu Dun was in his thirties. Although he had experienced all kinds of hardship, he looked a little old, but he was not stupid at all.
As soon as Liu Mingqi came up, she said that she needed 10,000 pizza chariots and horses, so she asked him to quote the price directly.
This kind of generous tone is the most likely to make the seller flatter and lose his composure and then give a good price.
But Yu Dun did not show such a thing.
He immediately replied: "Sorry, Lord Songbuma, we can't sell so many horses to you now."
"Why?" Liu Mingqi said in surprise.
"Because we don't have many stocks, we can only sell about 3,000 horses."
"But we saw horses all over the mountains and fields!"
"That's not our Shache's property, but the people's." Yu Dun said with a distressed look: "They cherish their horses very much and are generally unwilling to sell them."
Good guy!
Liu Mingqi looked at him with admiration.
I never thought that there was someone who was so good at doing business in such a remote place.
The boy turned around and said, "Then Prime Minister, what do you mean...how can we buy enough chariots and horses?"
"Oh! It's not easy to deal with!"
Yu Dun sighed and said, "How about you buy three thousand horses first, and then when you come next year, you will buy the remaining seven thousand horses. We will be ready by then, so there should be no problem."
I believe you!
Now there are three thousand horses, and next year you can create seven thousand horses?
You are determined to eat, we want so much, so we deliberately threatened to raise prices?
But Liu Mingqi was not so angry.
Such a nouveau riche's image is of course easy to be slaughtered.
It is natural that Yu Dun had this idea.
"I'll tell you clearly. Prime Minister, how much does it cost?" Liu Mingqi didn't go around in circles with him. "If you sell it more expensively, we have to go to Kucha, Cheshi, Loulan, and the horses there might be better."
Yu Dun immediately refused to accept: "Mr. Songbuma, if you really ride our chariots and horses, you will definitely not say that! The horses from these countries rely on their better appearance and boast a little more, but in fact they are nothing!"
After a pause, he said proudly: "A good horse on their side will sell for eight taels of silver, and we only need six taels of silver! If you need a breed that is hybrid to wild horses, then the price will only be increased by three taels of silver!"
"Including acquired from herders?"
"Ahem, sir! It's not easy for them! They really pay for everything to raise horses all day long!" Yu Dun said, tears came, "We also need to organize people to buy and screen. At least you have to add one or two taels of silver to them, right?"
The horse sold to the Yiwang Mansion by the small tribe alliance is priced at twelve taels of silver. Of course, this price has a premium, usually only eight taels of silver on the grassland.
But if you buy this price, others dare not sell it to you, so the small tribe alliance is not considered a robbery.
When selling horses in Shache Country, six taels of silver will definitely be expensive, but since you come to buy them, the price will naturally be different.
Liu Mingqi was too lazy to argue with him, after all, she is playing a rich man now, "Let's do this, I will give you eight taels of silver per 10,000 horses, but most of them must be rude stallions. Can I prepare them all within two days?"
"This is a bit difficult..." Yu Dun was about to get some more benefits, but when he saw Liu Mingqi frowning impatiently, he quickly said, "But the difficulties can be used as customer service! Lord Songbuma, let's settle it like this!"
"Okay! Refresh!"
Liu Mingqi also drew big pie for him, "You guys do it well. If we find that they can adapt to the environment after we take it back, we can do this business again in the future!"
"Okay!"
Yu Dun agreed with full words, but said in the next sentence: "But this payment method..."
Liu Mingqi said: "Don't you like the big-collar baby we brought? We will use this to settle, how about it?"
"Ahem, Lord Songbuma, the small country is very poor, we can't afford such expensive things!" Yu Dun said quickly: "If possible, how about we pay with gold and silver?"
Huh?
Liu Mingqi was shocked now. There are still people who don’t want to buy the goods of Prince Yu’s Mansion?
You... this is really a bit unexpected.
Along the way, Liu Mingqi and the others didn't bring much gold and silver.
That is, when Tubo was replenishing supplies, Fang Xiaopang brought a thousand gold ingots of 10 taels.
But these gold ingots are usually expensive, such as staying in a hotel, eating, drinking, supplies, etc.... You can't pay for other people's soap or other expenses, right?
Besides, there are less than 8,000 taels of silver left, which is not enough to pay the 80,000 taels of goods.
Seeing Liu Mingqi in a dilemma, Yu Dun smiled and said, "If the little prince didn't bring so much money for a while, he could actually use something to mortgage it... I have also heard of the treasures of Prince Dakangyu's mansion, which is definitely very good! Although we can't afford it, we also recognize its value."
After all, Liu Mingqi is a modern person.
Seeing Yu Dun like this, he suddenly realized, "Prime Minister, don't you want to buy our things at a low price, right?"
"Haha!" Yu Dun smiled without saying a word.
"You are meaningless!" Liu Mingqi said: "We are not worried about selling goods from Prince Yu's Mansion anywhere. For example, Loulan, Kucha, even Persia, Dayuan and other countries are in short supply! Since that's the case, you can wait for us to go around and sell these goods before buying horses!"
"Haha, Lord Songbuma, don't pretend to be in front of me." Yu Dun looked like I understand you don't lie to me, "Now we are the two of us... I'll be honest, these chariots and horses are not used by you, right?"
"Um?"
"Look, look! I said there is no need to hide it! I won't talk nonsense." Yu Dun said seriously, "Isn't it just purchasing war horses for Dakang? What's so great? If we were you and were in that place, we would have been doing business with Dakang for a long time!"
Liu Mingqi's murderous intent dissipated and said in a silence: "You can't say anything randomly! It will kill people when you say something randomly! Don't you know the small tribal alliance in the Uighur territory? They were almost wiped out!"
"If you are so poor that you can't help it, who can care so much?" Yu Dun snorted, "Besides, we don't have any enemies. We sold it to the little prince of Banqu Danzeng. Is there anything wrong? If you have something wrong, they will go to the Tubo Plateau to find you!"
I've met a profiteer!
Liu Mingqi shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then asked, "What do you want to do, say it quickly!"
"It's very simple. The price should be based on your purchase price!" Yu Dun said, "I have roughly understood some things. A piece of soap, a bottle of flower essential oil, a roll of toilet paper, a pack of white sugar, a pack of twenty taels of white rabbit milk candy, a pack of twenty taels of silver. If we calculate this price, we can barter it."
Liu Mingqi looked at him dumbfoundedly, "Prime Minister, are you sucking blood? You are so ruthless in business, aren't you afraid that we will steal yours directly?"
"Don't joke, Lord Songbuma." Yu Dun shrugged and said, "Don't we only do business in this way! Dakang needs only ten thousand horses? Within three years, we can sell them 100,000 horses!
Don’t be so stupid! After such a big blow last year, almost all the war horses died, right? So they should beg us!
You can directly give them three times the price, and they all have to recognize it! What are we? First-class chariots and horses! It’s not a Uighur product!
They beg us to sell, not us beg them to buy, right?
Don’t always ask them to sell us with scarce goods at a high price. We can also sell them at a high price in the past!
This is called ritual exchange, are you right?"
Liu Mingqi stood up and bowed to him: "I've been taught! Prime Minister, you are such a strange person! I won't say anything extra, let's trade at this price! Please give me some advice in the future!"
"Hey! You're welcome, let's make Dakang's money together! Dakang is so rich! If I don't take this opportunity to slap them hard, I feel sorry for my parents! Do you think so?"
"yes!"
Liu Mingqi was convinced.
Look!
In this world, even people in remote areas are not fools, but they are still very knowledgeable when doing business.
And he was right.
If you need something in urgent need, you should be slaughtered, there is no doubt about this.
Anyway, as long as the Dakang court recovers, it is indeed rich... Well, it is not enough for them to owe it first, anyway, I didn't have money!
Chapter completed!
