The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 494
The treasure ship approached Xinzhou Port slowly, and Zhao Yu, who was standing at the bow, could see the wharf in the harbor from a distance, and there was a lot of voices.

Hundreds of retinues with swords surrounded a man in a brocade robe, standing in the harbor looking forward to it.

And the subordinates and people around couldn't help cheering after seeing the huge treasure ship.

"The southern barbarians are not as bloodthirsty and fierce as Marshal Yu said..."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhao Yu looked at the extremely bustling Xinzhou Port, and said to himself with some doubts.

Marshal Yu, who is now guarding Datong, spent 30 years dealing with these foreigners in southern Xinjiang during the previous dynasty.

In the capital, when several people gathered for a banquet in the Hall of Martial Arts, the old man often mentioned these foreigners from southern Xinjiang.

He even said without hesitation that for the Central Plains, apart from the Japanese pirates suppressed by Qi Hu, it was the Nanyi who threatened the most.

As for the Tatars who have been on guard all year round, although they often harass the Central Plains, the hidden dangers are still inferior to the Japanese pirates and the Nanyi.

Therefore, when Zhao Yu set off, he was more or less prepared for Nanyi.

But I didn't want to. When I came here, I saw that the Nanyi not only showed no disrespect, but also lined up to greet them. It seemed that the battle was not small.

Soon, the treasure ship approached Xinzhou Harbor, and a boatman had already put the stretcher board on the treasure ship.

Zhao Yu took the lead, and while stepping off the treasure ship, he waved to the Nanyi people and officials who welcomed them.

Judging from this posture, it is more or less like being a leader.

"Mosang, the appeasement envoy of Xingang, Zhanguo, has seen the lord king who is a thousand years old..."

Just when Zhao Yu was going to ask the head of the Ministry of Rituals behind him to translate, he found that the official in brocade clothes in front of him had a more slick Zhongyuan accent than himself.

Then Zhao Yu also realized that whether it is An Nanguo or this Champa, theoretically they are all affiliated countries of Dagan.

It's not very far from the southwest of the Central Plains, and there are borders, so it's not surprising that some people have some accents of the Central Plains.

"Don't be too polite."

Zhao Yu took a step forward, stretched out his hand and brushed Mo Sang who was bowing himself.

After Mo Sang got up, he glanced at the treasure ship behind everyone, then smiled and said to Zhao Yu: "King Jia Qiansui, although my Zhancheng is a small remote city, but its style is not used in the Central Plains, it is not interesting. If Qiansui doesn't mind , you can take a tour of the scenery of Xinzhou Port with me!"

After getting off the boat and seeing the ceremony, the comforter warmly invited Zhao Yu to be a guest in the city.

Based on the idea that the guest can do whatever he wants, Zhao Yu didn't refuse.

He came here to do business. Since it is a business, he naturally can't put on airs. Knowing the style and appearance of Xinzhou Port will be good for the future business, won't it?

Immediately, under the leadership of Mosang, the pacifier, several people went straight to the city.

It is said that it is a city, but compared with the Central Plains, it is indeed a lot more petty. Xinzhou Port can be regarded as a prosperous place in Champa, and there are many shipping merchants coming and going. It stands to reason that the city will not be bad.

It's just that in the eyes of Zhao Yu and others, this city is much worse than some small towns in the Central Plains.

After turning around twice, there was nothing unusual in sight, so Zhao Yu's interest somewhat faded.

"Wang Jia is a thousand years old, the lower official's mansion has prepared a banquet, and I invite the Lord Qiansui to show you face!"

The way the appeasement envoy did it was well-founded, and everything seemed to have been arranged for Zhao Yu.

It's just that Zhao Yu's brows are somewhat frowned at this moment.

Marshal Yu said that the Nanyi were fierce and uncivilized barbarians.

But what Zhao Yu saw in front of his eyes was a lot of courtesy, and even the comforter was a little humble when he spoke.

The two formed a sharp contrast.

It's just that although Zhao Yu seemed to have a happy face, he also knew in his heart that between Marshal Yu and the pacifier, of course he believed in Marshal Yu!
"Okay, there is Lao Mo to appease the envoy."

Zhao Yu didn't refuse, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine this guy bought in the gourd!

"Don't dare, please!"

Mo Sang smiled, and then made a gesture of please.

Under the leadership of Mo Sang, Zhao Yu and his party came to the largest mansion in the city.

Standing outside the door were dozens of guards holding firearms. Judging from the firearms these soldiers held, they were much stronger than the previous dynasty without the Bingzhang Division presided over by Ah Fa.

Under Mo Sang's warm invitation, everyone entered the mansion one after another.

The structure of the mansion looked almost the same as that of the Central Plains, and dozens of banquets had already been set up in the atrium.

Except for the table on the main seat, which was still empty, the other tables were already filled with various people.

Those who can attend the banquet at the mansion of the comfort envoy must be local wealthy and nobles.

Compared with the coolies on the pier, these people were rich and noble from their clothes.

"Master Chitose, please!"

Mo Sang gave up the main seat to Zhao Yu, and he sat on Zhao Yu's right hand side.

Zhao Yu didn't give in either, and directly greeted Erha, An Jianqing and the others he had brought to sit down.

Immediately, a group of maikos entered the courtyard and danced in the courtyard. Everyone toasted, and the atmosphere seemed good.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

When Mo Sang waved his hand to signal those maikos to back off, Zhao Yu knew that the main show was coming.

After the singing and dancing subsided, Zhao Yu clearly noticed that everyone present looked at their table with bright eyes.

"Wang Jia is a thousand years old, this is a little affection from the subordinates for the king, and I hope that Wang Jia will not refuse!"

Mosang stretched out his hand as he spoke, and the follower immediately sent a gift list to Mosang.

Mo Sang held the gift list with both hands and handed it to Zhao Yu.

"Hey, how dare you say this..."

Zhao Yu was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this Nanman to be quite generous.If this is the case, the price of those things on the follow-up treasure ship will definitely give Mosang a discount.

Zhao Yu said he was embarrassed, but his hands were always tense, and he took the gift slip.

Then he directly opened the gift list and looked at it grandly.

Seeing Zhao Yu's performance, Mo Sang and the others couldn't help being stunned.

In the past, people from the Heavenly Kingdom, no matter what they sent out, would give it to the followers behind them after receiving the gift list.

But the one in front of him looked at him as if no one else was around.

However, at this time, everyone gradually realized that Zhao Yu looked at the gift list, and there seemed to be something wrong with his face.

"Your uncle's..."

Looking at the gift list, Zhao Yu couldn't help scolding his mother at the moment.

On the list here, it is not gold, silver, jewelry, or exotic goods, but some local specialties.

The most outrageous thing, there is a carriage of bananas in it? !
After all, I am also the top king with a different surname in Shang Kingdom, so you just use these crap to fool me?

Besides, the treasure ship I brought is huge, but there is no space to put these junk!
"Peace is a kind gesture, and my king accepts it. It's just that the Champa Xinzhou Port is just a stop, and it's inconvenient to bring these special products."

Zhao Yu took two deep breaths and declined with a smile.

After all, people have good intentions, as the saying goes, you don't hit the smiling face when you reach out.

"Even so, the lower officials won't force it, it's just the goods on the treasure ship of your lord..."

Mo Sang was not angry at Zhao Yu's refusal at all, but looked at Zhao Yu very calmly, and asked meaningfully.

After listening to Mo Sang's words, the rich and noble people sitting next to him couldn't help stretching their ears.

Business coming?

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's easy to say, the treasure ship is full of tea, silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, as much as you want!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said very proudly.

But upon hearing Zhao Yu's words, the faces of the principal accompanying him all turned green.

Zhao Yu didn't understand the meaning of these Nanyi dialects, could it be that he, an expert, didn't understand either?
"Wang Jiaqian is really proud. There are more than 30 treasure ships. If you want to come to Wang Jiaqian, you have to go along the sea. It's not easy for the lower officials to ask for more... How about ten ships?"

Mo Fushi exerted great strength, stretched out his right hand and stretched five fingers to turn it back and forth.

"Ten... ten ships?!"

This time, it was Zhao Yu who was dumbfounded.

Zhancheng might not look like a big place, but he has a lot of appetite, and he will take one-third of his trip by opening his mouth.

If this is the case, he still has an egg in the ocean, and he just comes back to Xinzhou Port three times a month, wouldn't he have everything?

"If Wang Jiaqiantui thinks it's inappropriate, eight boats are fine!"

Mo Sang thought Zhao Yu was frightened by his big mouth opening, so he quickly pressed down.

"Don't, don't, don't be embarrassed, ten boats will be ten boats!"

Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, how could there be any push for this door-to-door deal?
"..."

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that the king who came to Champa this time would be so happy, and waved ten boats of treasures.

"A word is settled!"

Mo Sang stood up excitedly, then picked up the wine bottle and toasted Zhao Yu with a bottle of wine.

"It's just a word... so who, can you figure out how much the ten shipments are worth, by the way, give the comforter a little discount!"

Zhao Yu also drank the wine in one gulp, and then said to the accompanying principal.

The master who always obeyed Zhao Yu's words did not move at this time.

He knew that the people on both sides had obviously diverged from each other...

"Money? Why can't the lower officials understand Wang Jia's words?"

At this time, Mo Sang also realized that the ten shipments Zhao Yu promised were not as a return gift from Shangguo, but to...sell them?
Since the founding of Annan, it has been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time. In the past, it would send some worthless local products there, and then go to the Congress to show the demeanor of a great country and return a large amount of gold, silver and goods.

I've never heard of it before, a prince from Shangguo traveled all the way to the subordinate country to do business!
Do you want the majesty and face of the Heavenly Kingdom?

"Don't worry, since you want a lot of appeasement envoys, according to our business rules, we will give you a discount!"

Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and patted Mo Sang's shoulder, and said proudly.

"No, no, I think Wang Jiaqiantose, you misunderstood."

Mo Sang waved his hand, and then his face fell down, staring at Zhao Yu coldly and said.

"Misunderstand?"

Zhao Yu also noticed something was wrong, it seemed that the atmosphere that was still in full swing just now had become a little weird.

"These ten shipments are not for sale, but a gift from Shang Kingdom as the host country to us in return!"

Mo Sang stared at Zhao Yu and said word by word.Now Zhao Yu finally understood...

Take it for nothing! !

"I'll go to your uncle!"

Zhao Yu, who understood it, instantly lifted Brother Crow's upper body and lifted the table in front of him!
After making a fuss for a long time, shopping and inviting dinner, it turns out that these guys are thinking about the goods on his treasure ship!
A few carriages of rotten pineapples and bananas, and he wants to exchange ten shipments of his own goods. This guy is not afraid of supporting himself to death!
"Master Chitose, what is the meaning of this?"

Mo Sang stood up with a calm expression, looked at Zhao Yu, who had a somewhat ferocious face, and asked unhurriedly.

"You don't have money, what are you talking about with me here? Just relying on these junk things, you want to fool me? Are you awake?!"

Zhao Yu grabbed the gift slip from the principal's hand and slammed it on Mo Sang's face.

After wasting almost a day, Zhao Yu was full of evil fire at the moment.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu got up, led people and walked out of the mansion.

bang bang...

At this moment, the gate of the mansion opened suddenly, and dozens of soldiers with firecrackers swarmed in.

"What? Did you change your mind to steal it?"

Zhao Yu looked at the murderous soldiers holding firecrackers, and turned his head to look at Mo Sang with a sneer.

And Mo Sang picked up the gift list from the ground, and after wiping off the dust and wine stains on it leisurely, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu who was surrounded by soldiers.

"The local products of Champa are not as good as those ten shipments, so with the addition of a lord and many followers, is it worth thirty shipments?"

Mo Sang said lightly, but everyone could hear the threat in it.

In his opinion, since Zhao Yu entered the city, everything has been settled.

He wanted ten shipments, if Zhao Yu gave... Even if he only gave eight shipments, they would respectfully send the Lord of the Shang out of Xinzhou Port.

However, Zhao Yu was somewhat ignorant of current affairs. Now that his face had been torn apart, ten shipments of cargo could no longer satisfy their appetites.

With this prince as a threat, leaving ten cargoes is a shame, but keeping everything else is also a shame.

Since the results are the same, why doesn't he take more?
"Oh... are you waiting for me here?"

Zhao Yu looked at the dozens of gun-wielding pawns not far in front of him, then nodded and said.

"There is a saying in Shangguo that if you stay in the green hills, you will not have to worry about firewood. Surely the prince will not leave his bright future in this mansion for these things outside of him?"

Mo Sang sneered, then waved.

Dozens of military pawns who were staring at each other rushed up immediately with guns. Outside the gate of the mansion, there were also soldiers with knives and guns in their hands, pouring in wave after wave.

In this mansion, there are more than 100 guards alone, and all of them are equipped with new-style firecrackers brought over by Westerners.

In addition, he also mobilized more than 500 city guard soldiers.

From Mo Sang's point of view, these people are more than enough to keep Zhao Yu and his party dozens of people.

"What are you looking at?! Get him!!"

Zhao Yu looked at the pawns who kept coming up, and directly kicked An Jianqing's ass beside him.

An Jianqing gritted his teeth, and then suddenly pulled out the Xiuchun knife worn at his waist.

Those guards in Jinyi who followed Zhao Yu didn't eat dry food either. After An Jianqing drew out his saber, more than a dozen people drew their sabers out of their sheaths one after another.

The sharp blade exuded a breath-taking chill, causing those pawns who charged forward to stumble.

The pawn holding the gun in the front row subconsciously raised the gun in his hand, aiming the black muzzle at Zhao Yu not far away.
