Chapter 70 The Lowest Price in One Sentence!

The two Wu Yun envoys looked at Xiao Yunzhou, their faces unable to hide their surprise.

"Even the soldiers of our Wu Yun country found it difficult to distinguish the middle-grade from the top-grade when they first saw the newly bred horses!"

"We need to test them on the horses!"

Ministry of War of Jing State: "???"

The officials of Jing State opened their mouths in astonishment, and the beard of Fu Cha Ge Lao was messed up in the wind.

The two envoys of Wu Yun State saluted respectfully to Xiao Yunzhou.

"Your Majesty, you are truly the sun in the sky, and your brilliance is truly dazzling."

"No side door or unorthodox method can cover your eyes."

The officials of Jing State opened their mouths and looked at the flattering envoy.

"We brought a snow-white horse that would be too conspicuous on the battlefield, hoping that you would not be able to lower the price of the horse after misjudging its grade."

Envoy Wu Yun sighed,

"But I didn't expect that you would see through our tricks at a glance."

Envoy Wu Yun bowed again, his face flushed.

"We are really ashamed, and I hope that the honorable Emperor Jing will forgive our disrespect."

All the officials in the court were silent.

Focus Fucha looked at Xiao Yunzhou tremblingly.

For some reason, he felt a little pain in his old face.

But his old waist was straight!

Their emperor, their Jingguo, stood up!

Outside the whole palace, the wind was howling.

However, all the ministers of Jingguo were boiling their blood like hot streams at this moment.

How long has it been?

How long has it been!

Since the previous emperor, Jingguo has gradually lost its voice among its neighbors.

Neighboring countries that once paid tribute are no longer afraid of them.

Neighboring countries that once had friendly relations no longer care about them.

Jingguo's national strength is declining, and its luck seems to be dying.

In the hands of the previous emperor, it is gradually difficult to save.

But they still want to save the face of Quanguo. If other countries do not respect them, they will not care about other countries!

But today, Wu Yun, who has not been in contact for a long time, actually bowed down in front of their Jingguo again!

For a moment, all officials were deeply moved.

"Respected Emperor Jingguo, under your dazzling sun and moon, we really dare not deceive anymore."

"As long as you buy our war horses, we will tell you the breeding and methods of this new war horse without reservation."

Envoy Wu Yun respectfully placed his right hand on his left chest.

"It is a blessing for Wu Yun to be able to trade with a wise monarch like you."

Ouch, ouch.

All officials of Jingguo couldn't help but smile.

Their teeth were about to be sour.

Wu Yunguo flattered the emperor, and he was more eloquent than the ministers of Jingguo!

"You are too polite. I also think that it is a blessing for Jingguo that you have come from afar."

Xiao Yunzhou laughed and led everyone back to the banquet.

"Then what price are you going to trade war horses at?"

"In addition to war horses, it is said that you want to open border trade with us. Is this true?"

Xiao Yunzhou was flattered by their flattery.

But just as he was enjoying himself, he heard the two envoys' offer.

"Your Majesty, it is not easy for us to breed high-quality horses. It takes a lot of good feed to raise them to adulthood."

"But seeing that Your Majesty is as wise as the sun, we can sell them to Jingguo at 30 taels per horse."

Xiao Yunzhou laughed.

Jingguo's good horses are also at least 30 taels.

The horse breeding expenses submitted by the Ministry of War are usually more expensive than this price.

He was about to nod immediately.

But then the little princess in Wei Zheng's arms cried softly.

[The favorability of the Wu Yun envoy has not yet reached the highest level

of negotiation, the "lowest price". ]

Xiao Yunzhou suddenly woke up.

[In the novel, Chu bought a thousand high-quality war horses for 30,000 taels. ]

[Half a year later, he sent cavalry to rob the food of our Jing people. ]

[Because, they lost money! ]

Xiao Yunzhou stared at the two Wu Yun envoys who were so sweet.

They looked at him with respect, as if he, the emperor, was really the god they worshipped.

As a result, damn, they had a ghost in their offer! ?

Are people in the grassland so treacherous now?

Xiao Chuchu sighed in her swaddling clothes, [After the emperor of Chu bought a thousand war horses, his spies in Wu Yun reported back. ]

[Wu Yunguo has been raising horses for generations. The cost of raising this top-quality horse to adulthood is between eight and ten taels. ]

"Ahem..." Xiao Yunzhou coughed violently and looked at the Wu Yunguo envoy in disbelief.

They tripled the price and told him that this was the cost price?

Too shady, Wu Yunguo!

[Sure enough, the heart of playing politics is dirty! ]

[Neighboring countries must be playing tricks in diplomacy. If the emperor believes them, he will fall into a big pit. ]

Xiao Yunzhou: "..."

[Counting the loss of transportation and manpower, Wu Yunguo's real psychological price is 20,000 taels for a thousand war horses. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered, and he stood up immediately, looking at the envoy oppressively

"I feel your sincerity."

"But I think that 30,000 taels for a thousand top-quality war horses is too much."

The envoy of Wu Yunguo stared, "Your Majesty, it is not easy for us to raise BMWs. Ten years ago, the price of our horses was 25 taels per horse..."

Now the new war horses are even more expensive than before, and the price increase is justified.

Even the Minister of Finance of Jingguo secretly glanced at Fu Cha Ge Lao.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, the price we bought horses in the past was--" The Minister of Finance also frowned and prepared to speak.

Xiao Yunzhou glared at him and stretched out his hand to stop him.

He leaned forward and looked at the envoy of Wu Yunguo.

"I treat Wu Yunguo with courtesy because I want to open trade with our neighbor Wu Yunguo in the future and establish a grand event where the people on the border of the two countries live in harmony."

"The war horse trade is just a small part of our trade."

Xiao Yunzhou raised his head and looked at the envoy of Wu Yunguo seriously and pressured.

"You should know that what I want is never a one-time transaction!"

"It's ten or a hundred years later between Jingguo and Wu Yunguo!"

The envoy of Wu Yunguo opened his mouth.

——Ding! Envoy Wu Yun's favorability towards the emperor of Jingguo has dropped.

——Ding! Envoy Wu Yun's favorability towards the emperor of Jingguo has dropped to LV1!

Xiao Chuchu stared, her little face flushed.

How could this happen?

But the next moment, she saw that her system information was off the charts.

——Ding! Envoy Wu Yun's respect for the emperor of Jingguo has increased!

—— Envoy Wu Yun's respect for the Emperor of Jing State rose to LV4. 'I am willing to pay a low price to keep you as a guest'!

Xiao Chuchu's heart was suddenly filled with excitement.

[Ah! The envoy's favorability has dropped, but his respect for the emperor has risen sharply! ]

Xiao Yunzhou stared at Envoy Wu Yun, and pricked up his ears in fear.

In a blink of an eye, as expected, the two envoys who were drinking behind the table really stood up again.

This time they directly picked up the wine pot on the table, filled the golden cup, and drank it all in one gulp facing Xiao Yunzhou.

"Thank you for your sincerity."

"We didn't expect that you were really willing to open up trade with our grassland."

"We are short of food in winter. If Jing State is willing to open border grain shops to us for a long time, the price of our Wu Yun warhorse can be reduced to Jing State."

After the two envoys drank a full cup, they filled it again, and filled it again!

In one breath, they drank three cups of wine to Emperor Xiao Yunzhou to show their respect.

"We Wu Yun can swear to the heaven."

"If Jingguo regards me Wu Yun as a brother."

"I Wu Yun will treat Jingguo as my brother!"

"Five fingers on one hand, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, but we help each other and never abandon each other!"

Officials of Jingguo opened their mouths, but could not find their own voices.

[Aww, for Wu Yun, wheat is the scarcest thing on the winter grassland, and it is their life! ]

[The sooner my emperor father agrees to the trade, the more grateful they will be to Jingguo! ]

[Hahaha, this time they are really convinced~]

Xiao Yunzhou's heart skipped a beat.

Whether to open the trade, he just made a fuss.

In fact, he was still struggling.

He was thinking that after buying the war horses, the trade could be delayed.

We'll talk about it later.

But Xiao Chuchu blinked happily in Wei Zheng's arms, [Emperor Dad has been getting better and better at doing things recently. It's not okay to close the country to the outside world. ]

Xiao Yunzhou paused with the wine glass in his hand, and his face suddenly stiffened.

It's not okay to close the country to the outside world?

But since the emperor's grandfather, trade has been banned, and even the sea area of ​​Jingguo has been closed...

[Emperor Dad was right before, Jingguo is developing, and other countries are also developing. ]

[We will get better and better if we learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. ]

Xiao Chuchu sighed.

[Closed-door development has resulted in stagnation in various handicrafts, military, technology, and commerce. ]

[And the silver flow in Jingguo is getting less and less. The people hide the silver at home and don't take it out to use. We still have to find a way to let the silver outside Jingguo flow to us! ]

Xiao Yunzhou stared.

[From the history I read in modern times, since ancient times, closing the country to the outside world has never had a good end, and will gradually be abandoned by the times! 】

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes were filled with fear, and he took a deep breath.

The history of various countries seen in the fairy world, can't be closed?

He coughed lightly, looked at the two envoys, and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it from them.

"Good!"

"Then I won't be polite with you."

"When you go back tomorrow morning, list the materials you want to trade, and I will also ask the Ministry of Revenue to list the grassland materials that Jingguo needs."

Xiao Yunzhou didn't believe the ministers, but believed the fairy's words.

After all, it has been tried many times, and the predictions of the fairy world have never been wrong.

Xiao Yunzhou thought about it and nodded, "The two sides have reached an agreement and signed the terms, and the trade can be opened."

The two envoys were overjoyed, "Thank you, Emperor Jing!"

But Xiao Yunzhou quickly put down his wine glass in front of them, "I have shown such sincerity, I hope you can also show the same trust."

"One thousand top-quality war horses, twenty thousand taels."

"One price."

The joy on the faces of the two envoys froze for a moment.

There was fear and terror in their eyes!

How did the Emperor of Jing know... the lowest price for war horses they had negotiated with the Khan before they set off!
