"Da Xiang!"

The deputy envoy of Tubo was full of anger, "I've been framed by the profiteers of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"Master, for the beautiful glass teacup you broke just now, the waiter at the Honglu Hotel only asked me for two pieces of money. Moreover, in those glass shops in Chang'an City, only one of this kind of teacups is sold. It takes two pennies.

And those profiteers from the Tang Dynasty who came to my Tubo, even dared to ask me for twenty guan! "

"Twenty?"

Shang Nang murmured, "So, the price of that glass water cup is not the same!"

"Not twice?"

The Tubo envoy was stunned, "Master, could it be that the Honglu guest house asked me for less money?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help raising his head, and gave the Tubo envoy a cold look, "Are you a pig brain?"

"President?"

The Tubo envoy asked with a grievance on his face.

"Humph!"

Shang Nang snorted helplessly, and then explained: "The price of this kind of glass should be consistent, or even lower!"

"what?"

Now, all the Tubo envoys couldn't help being surprised.

"The price is so low?"

But no one questioned Shang Nang's words.

"You can change into Tang Dynasty clothes and go to the glass shop to inquire!"

Still in the bag.

"The prime minister is wise!"

Hearing this, all the envoys couldn't help bowing their hands to Shang Nang, and then two Tubo envoys withdrew.

In the house, Shang Nang just frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he didn't try to stop him.

Afterwards, he handed the letter in his hand to a confidant beside him, "Send this letter to Zanpu quickly!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The confidant responded, took the letter, and walked out quickly.

Inside the house, Shang Nang glanced at the pen in his hand, and a fire flashed in his eyes.

"The Tang Dynasty is indeed extremely prosperous, and even such luxurious and exquisite objects as fountain pens can be manufactured. And the price of the glass fetish is so low. If there is a chance, I really want to meet that King Jin!  … ..."

As he said that, he walked to the sofa beside him, made a cup of tea, and drank it himself.

And on the same floor, in the room of the Tuyuhun Mission, two warriors came out, with a letter in their arms, and hurried out.

Every move of Tubo and Tuyuhun's envoys was monitored and reported to the palace at any time.

These, Shang Nang and others did not know.

And after half an hour.

The two Tubo envoys also ran back with livid faces, and when they saw Shang Nang, their eyes turned red.

"Great Minister, merchants from 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 Tubo envoys were startled, and said quickly, "My lord, that one glass teacup only costs four hundred cash, and three pieces of glass can be bought with the same money.

As for objects such as larger glass cylinders and glassware, they are also cheap.

The volume is more expensive, but each piece is at most two.

And the cheapest ones are glass cups..."

...

"However, to my surprise, the price of yak jerky that those Tang merchants bought back from me in Tubo was only [-]% more than the price they charged from us!"

"I see!"

After listening, Shang Nang's heart moved slightly. At this moment, he finally figured out what he had been confused about before!

"President?"

All the Tubo envoys looked puzzled.

"You think, why can those merchants from Tang Dynasty charge such high prices for our dried yak meat?"

Shang Nang asked.

Now, all the Tubo envoys finally understood.

"President, is it because of those glass objects?"

"It's natural!"

Shang Nang sighed softly, and said: "When those Tang people came to our Tubo, most of the time they exchanged precious items such as glass and tea leaves for yak jerky.

Although I have raised the price of yak jerky very high.

However, those merchants from the Tang Dynasty also raised the prices of glass and tea to a high level, so that the two are equal, and the merchants from the Tang Dynasty did not suffer too much! "

"It is so!"

"The prime minister is wise..."

Immediately, all the Tubo envoys suddenly realized.

Shang Nang nodded slightly.

Immediately, with a solemn face, he said in a deep voice.

"Okay, these objects are trivial matters! Don't forget, what are we talking about when we come to Datang!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'm here to discuss peace with Datang. Even if the negotiation fails in the end, no matter what, it will be delayed so that Datang will not send troops to attack Tubo.

Finally, I also invite all the caravans from Datang to sell glass, tea, salt and white wine to me again in Tubo! "

A Tubo envoy said quickly.

"idiot!"

Shang Nang gave the envoy a cold look.

"Although these are very important to my Tubo, there is one more important thing!"

"Another thing?"

Hearing this, all the Tubo envoys were a little surprised.

"Dare to ask Xiangguo what's the matter?"

"bomb!"

Shang Nang said directly.

"bomb?"

All the Tubo envoys were shocked, but after realizing it, they were overjoyed.

"Exactly!"

Shang Nang nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "As long as I get the secret formula of the bomb, I, Tubo, can also create such a powerful bomb.

The fortified cities of the Tang Dynasty are like nothing to me, Tubo. Whenever I want to attack the Tang Dynasty, I can attack the Tang Dynasty at any time! "

"Extremely, extremely..."

I don't know what beautiful things they thought of, all the Tubo envoys couldn't help laughing.

"So, no matter what, I will use my best skills this time to find out the source of that bomb, and then no matter how much I pay, I must get the secret recipe of this divine thing!"

Shang Nang stared closely at the group of Tubo envoys, and said excitedly.

"Please don't worry, Prime Minister, we will definitely do our best, and we will never hesitate to die!"

A group of Tubo envoys hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted respectfully.

"Very good!"

Shang Nang nodded slightly, and then continued: "This is a top secret matter, you must be more careful. If you are caught by Datang, you don't need to tell me about the result, you should understand it!"

Hearing this, all the Tubo envoys shuddered and all looked solemn.

"I'll wait to understand!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Still in the bag.

"Yes!"

A group of Tubo envoys responded and left one after another.

The next few days.A group of Tubo envoys ran around the city of Chang'an.

At the same time, when I saw some shops, I went in to inquire.

Of course, they were asking about some ordinary items, but this incident aroused the vigilance of some storekeepers.

Soon, Li Xuan also received the report!
