The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 233
The hundred-day banquet for the two children was very grand, and the twins received countless gifts just by showing their faces at the banquet. Of course, everyone knew that the banquet was not the focus, but the business exchanges between several countries, and this not only It is a contest of national power among several countries, and it is also a competition among businessmen of several countries.

When the princes of several countries proposed to establish business relations with Mo Yun at the banquet, Qianzong immediately nodded in agreement, and ordered Bai Ziyu and Mr. Yi to be in charge of negotiating with the envoys of several countries.But everyone knows that Bai Ziyu has a lot of affairs as the prime minister of a country, and this matter mainly falls on Mr. Yi.

In this matter, Mr. Yi is very fortunate to have a future brother-in-law like a cheapskate.The businessmen represented by other countries are all wealthy and talented. Mo Yun’s original richest man, Yu’s family, has collapsed. Now there is no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the richest man in these countries, so Mo Yun’s businessmen have no leader for a while.At this time, the cheapskate pulled Han Yijun to stand up, and Han Yijun's financial resources and connections in the past few years are indeed the top of Mo Yun's wealthy businessmen, which can be regarded as a great help to him. After all, he is an official and cannot participate in business transactions. go.

Of course, in front of the princes of several countries, Mo Yun, a young official, was a little underappreciated. He used his status to embarrass Mr. Yi from time to time, which made Mr. Yi's negotiations very difficult.The entanglement of the problem is nothing more than the transportation cost, taxation, price range and quantity, and who is responsible for the safety of the goods. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to do less work and get more money.

The talks at the top were not going well, and the communication among the merchants below was not very good. Those small merchants who came by themselves were fine, they had no support and didn't want to cause trouble.The big merchants who came with the mission were all very arrogant, and even joined forces to lower the prices of Moyun's goods.The price of Moyun's goods has never been high, but it is a large part of their profits, so naturally they cannot let it go.Although Han Yijun's ability is good, but after all, the prestige is not enough, and he was not able to gain the upper hand for a while.

The cheapskate is very concerned about this matter, the Yi family's reply is to prepare for his marriage with Yi Chunxia after this matter is settled, so he is anxious.Seeing things going wrong these few days, he kept going to the Ghost Palace. Although Yun Yuhong didn't want to be nosy, he still had to give some pointers, and then the cheap ghost left contentedly. The eldest son discussed matters with Han Yijun and Li Ziqiao.

All of a sudden, the envoys and businessmen of several countries found that the officials and businessmen of Moyun were not in a hurry, or they didn’t pay much attention to them. They were indifferent when communicating with them, and they didn’t seem to want to talk to them again. After they went down, they became a little flustered. Merchant Ruifeng deliberately showed off to Mr. Yi that he had negotiated a big deal with Zeyuguo, which was originally intended to be negotiated with Mr. Moyun. He said coldly: "Ruifeng and Zeyu's business has nothing to do with me, Moyun. As long as you don't pass by Moyun, it's fine. The ghost king army in our country is not vegetarian, and the border guards are still very strong."

Businessman Ruifeng swallowed a sigh of relief. If he could not pass through Moyun, he would have expanded his business to Zeyu long ago, so why wait until today?Mr. Yi told him clearly that if Mo Yun cannot do business with other countries, the goods will not be able to turn around. It is useless for you to talk about it.But this is the truth, and he can't refute it. It seems that they really pissed off the Moyun people before.

Then Li Ziqiao's shops opened. These shops have a characteristic, that is, they only sell special products from other countries. The shops have all kinds of strange things, and there are also things brought in from the other side of the sea.And in the few days when Li Ziqiao's shop opened, he invited many small businessmen from several countries and bought the goods they brought at a not low price. There was even news that he had signed a contract with several businessmen. documents for cooperation.Li Ziqiao said that he is the younger brother of the ghost king's favorite general, General Qian. Regardless of whether the trade in these countries can be opened, the goods he wants don't have to worry about getting in. He, Li Ziqiao, specializes in the business of special products from several countries. up.

The small merchants were happy, but the big merchants who came to negotiate with the envoys were in a hurry. If this continued, their business would be robbed by others. Whether business will be affected is hard to say.The envoys were also not happy. This Li Ziqiao said that he would not be affected by the opening of the border trade, right? It is really abominable. Once the goods enter and leave without the permission of the state, it means the reduction of national tax revenue and the loss of wealth. outflow.Although a few small businessmen are rich, it is not good for the whole country, so this kind of thing is never allowed to happen.

It's just that Mr. Yi recently said that he was busy with his sister's marriage and the dragon didn't see the end. How can we talk about this matter?The princes were worried and looked at each other. They sighed almost at the same time. They had no choice but to bow their heads. The father gave a death order and the negotiation must be completed. It would be a waste of time to delay it any longer. The dignified prince, it's really aggrieved to walk around Mo Yun, a small official's ass.

After the envoys of the Three Kingdoms had the sincerity to negotiate, it was much easier for Mr. Yi to talk about things. A group of people took the terms to revise and revise. After three days of talking in the room, everything was finally finalized.

With the charter of the officials above, the merchants below can count when they talk about business.The businessmen from several countries are much more friendly to Mo Yun businessman, and Mo Yun businessman has a feeling of elation.In the past, the big businessmen from other countries didn’t look at them seriously, and often said: What good things do you have in the small country of Moyun, and they value you for doing business with you.Now, these people have also let go of their airs, and they all recognize your price increase, which feels really cool.

In the private room on the second floor of Fenghua Building, the cheapskate turned the wine glass in his hand and smiled contentedly.The crybaby complained on the side: "It's not your idea, why are you so proud!"

The cheapskate had a rare good-natured smile and said, "I'm getting married soon, so of course I'm happy." As for brother, your wife is still far away, so go ahead and envy her.

Mr. Yi raised his eyebrows, "I haven't said that I will let you get married someday, you are too happy!"

The cheapskate's face turned bitter, but he immediately said with a smile: "Brother, didn't you agree to get married after finishing this matter? Look, I've helped you so much, so you should think about me too." ah!"

Mr. Yi said: "The idea is from the eldest princess, and the person is also from the eldest princess, so you just ran errands, which is not a big deal."

The cheapskate was short of breath, and looked at Li Ziqiao who was sitting on the side.Li Ziqiao hurriedly said: "My brother did his best. Without my brother asking the eldest princess, the eldest princess would not care about such trivial matters. But to be honest, the eldest princess is the best. If you have any idea, let those people You'll be honest all of a sudden, you know, those old guys have all become smart, it's really hard to deal with."

Bai Ziyu smiled and said: "Actually, it can't be said that it is all due to the eldest princess. The key lies in the prosperity of our country. In the past two years, our army has become stronger, officials have paid more attention to people's livelihood, and our products have surplus. Life is good, all of this makes people dare not underestimate us, let alone provoke us. As long as we straighten our backs and keep our bottom line, others will not dare to bully us anymore."

The third prince patted the table and said: "Brother-in-law, you are so right. Look, Nangong Qingri used to be so awesome. He didn't even bother to say hello when he saw us princes. Now he doesn't dare. It seems that we Mo The cloud has become stronger."

Bai Ziyu nodded and said: "Yes, Mo Yun has become stronger, but this is not enough. Many people in Mo Yun still lack food and clothing, and there are still many places where natural disasters and man-made disasters continue. The other three countries have not stopped, they It is also changing. The initiative to talk about the opening of border trade this time is an example. Mo Yun was originally the weakest of several countries, and with the addition of several years of war, his foundation is very weak, not comparable to the three countries. They are willing to give in now because of what Mo Yun said. The geographical location is the only way for them to do business, because it is heavily guarded by the ghost king army. If our national strength is to reach the level of the other three countries, it will take at least five years, and the weather will be smooth and there will be no major changes in the five years. At least five years if all goes well."

The young people in the room were all lost in thought. They felt a little elated just now, but only now did they clearly realize that the burden on them was still so heavy.It is not easy for Mo Yun, who has always been troubled by many disasters, to spend five years smoothly. The other countries are not free, and they only temporarily bow their heads for the benefit, and it is still unknown who will die in the future.

The eldest prince said to Bai Ziyu: "Brother-in-law, we don't want to stay in Beijing anymore. We grow up and want to do something practical for the country, so you can persuade sister Huang to let us go out and venture." Sister Huang is covered, and a large group of people are watching. They are tightly protected, but they feel that it is difficult to make progress. Therefore, they want to go out to see the outside world and do something meaningful. Yun Yuhong kept blocking her. In her eyes, these few were still children, and it was still hard for people to feel relieved.

Bai Ziyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Bai Ziren, and Bai Ziren hurriedly said, "Brother, I also want to go out for a walk."

The third son of the Yi family also said: "Actually, not only they want to go out for a walk, but I also think that it is good to be in the middle of the capital, but I always feel that I can't use it. Besides, we are only in the middle of the capital, how can we know the real situation of the people in the world?" Need to know what kind of life they live, such an official is boring."

Li Ziqiao said: "It is true that when you become an official, you should experience the people's livelihood more. In some remote places, there are still many people who do not have enough to eat, but these officials may not know it. Although the capital is prosperous, it is easy to wear down people's will."

Bai Ziyu nodded, looked at the expectant faces and said, "I understand what you're thinking, I'll go back and discuss it with the princess."
