Chapter 418 - Successful Market Opening (2nd Update)
The two sides immediately held talks, right in the potholes between the two cities. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, the evil Wei Jingtian had to go to Wacheng to talk, didn't he close the city gate tightly, so I asked your emperor to personally take me in in a dignified manner.
But the men in Wacheng were unwilling, and they didn't wait for Yan Gao to agree or refuse, they all had red eyes and tears, and even worse, they shrank their necks and covered their clothes, and the black man blinked and turned into a little white rabbit, making Yan Gao's breath turn in his throat several times, unable to go up or down, and glaring at the sky angrily.
What have you done to my people?
Wei Jingtian was speechless, as for it, just want to face it? I wanted to be generous, and I wanted to say that I would go to Yancheng to talk, but immediately, the Yancheng men bit their lower lipes and looked at her.
Well, if you lose it, let's talk in the potholes.
As a result, the prototype of the mutual market, which had a profound impact on later generations, was quietly born in the big pit.
"What? Do do do business? ”
"What? No, no, no, no, no fight? ”
With Yan Gao and Wei Jingtian as the dividing line, the neat men on the east and west sides glared at each other, and before they decided the winner, they wouldn't fight? Squibs?
Wei Jingtian bared his teeth: "Anyway, you can't beat us." ”
The man in the west rolled up his sleeves, and the man in the east raised his arms not to be outdone.
Yan Gao had a headache and knocked on the table that burned himself too roughly: "Can you be a little sincere?" ”
"Absolutely." Wei Jingtian motioned to the men to calm down: "When the market opens, we won't go to the herdsmen's houses to disturb." ”
"Phew," the emperor's demeanor was not controlled, and Yan Gao was not angry: "Is that what it should be?" You can't apply the bandit to your allies. Can you still work together happily? ”
"Yes, yes, don't you just want salt, how much?" Wei Jingtian pinched his fingers and calculated: "It will be a month and a half later." ”
Hearing the word salt, the man in the west calmed down.
Yan Gao waved his hand angrily: "How many you want." "Anyway, the salt can't be bad.
"Okay, take the grain in exchange, ten catties of grain and one catty of salt. The grain should be good. Seeing that Yan Gao was about to stare at him, Wei Jingtian said again: "This price is not expensive, you don't know the price of your exchange with others?" ”
There are also 100 catties of grain for a catty of salt, who let them not have their own house.
Yu Jingtian lit the table: "I give you the best fine salt, to put it mildly, my salt is enough for you people to eat royal salt." ”
The most important thing on the island is the seawater, how much it wants, and if it is done well, it can develop into a pillar of the country's economy.
Yan Gao nodded: "Okay, if you give good salt, I will naturally give good food." ”
"The ore you want is also exchanged for salt?"
"It's better for us to write down what we want, set a price, and barter for something."
"Okay."
General Cha, who was standing behind, asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, can the people also change something on their own?" ”
"Yes," Yan Gao asked Jing Tian, "Then from now on, Yancheng and Wacheng will never go to war again, and will be responsible for protecting the security of the transaction between the two sides, how about it?" ”
"Naturally, but if someone is doing ghosts, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Okay."
After speaking, the men on both sides look at each other again, it is a little unnatural, a good enemy can't be done, but they become colleagues?
"Cough, cough," Sun Dakui, the leader of Yancheng's side, said unnaturally: "Since we are friends, let's make a statement first, this pothole, our brothers are responsible for filling it." ”
General Cha was quite satisfied with this gesture: "It's not just a few pits, and we will level them with a few shovels." ”
"No, we dug it in the first place."
"We filled it in, and there were comings and goings."
"Do it yourself..."
"No..."
As he spoke, he changed his taste, and after a few words, he rolled up his sleeves again, and he saw that he was going to fight again.
Yan Gao motioned for Wei Jingtian to retreat outside the crowd that was getting closer and closer: "The matter is settled, I want to go back." ”
Wei Jingtian nodded: "Okay, it's okay to stay." ”
"Then you will be in Yancheng in the future? Or go to the big camp? ”
"Me?" Wei Jingtian thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't tell, I'm running around." If you have something to do, tell the people in Yancheng directly, and they will find me quickly. ”
"Okay."
Wei Jingtian advised: "You should hide the matter here first." ”
"Okay, I promise that this matter will not be known to Emperor Dami, whoever dares to leak it, I will make his family unable to eat salt for the rest of his life."
Tsk, this threatened.
Yan Gao said to go back, but he didn't leave immediately, and stayed for one more day, because Wei Jingtian said that the market would open the next day and have a lively New Year.
The pit between Yancheng and Wacheng had not yet had time to be filled, and the people on both sides who had received the notice were encouraged to come with a confused face.
Is this a peace agreement? This is coming?
It's the first time I've encountered something like this in my life.
The distinction was clear, and each family took their surplus things and set up two long stalls in the north and south, and then, staring at each other, I didn't know what to say.
It's the first time I've seen the face of the other person so closely, and I'm still calm, like a dream.
Yan Gao and Wei Jingtian also stood facing each other, looking here and there, the two leaders didn't know what to say.
Finally, a childish child's voice sounded.
A six or seven-year-old Yancheng boy swallowed his saliva and pointed at a Wacheng boy of the same size opposite: "The fragrance in your hand is so good, can you change it?" I have a wooden whistle. ”
After speaking, he took out a handful of polished wood from the cloth bag beside him and whistled, and blew it, and the crisp sound pierced the solemn atmosphere like a needle.
The Wacheng boy's eyes lit up, he couldn't understand the big secret words, but he could guess the meaning, and handed over a bowl of cheese in his hand.
The Yancheng boy smiled, gave him the whistle first, then took the bowl, and gestured to let the Wacheng boy learn to play the wooden whistle, then carefully pinched a piece of cheese and took a small bite gently, tasted more saliva, but stuffed the cheese into the mouth of the woman next to him.
"Mother, incense."
The Wacheng boy also blew a wooden whistle to show off to his own adults.
With this beginning, people on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes no longer looked at each other's faces, but fell on what they were holding in each other's arms.
Soon, the things of the Yancheng people came into the arms of the Wacheng people, and the things of the Wacheng people also changed the hands of the Yancheng people. Everyone finished the transaction, and there were still some unfinished things, and I don't know who took the lead, but they all laughed together.
It turns out that you can get what you need without fighting or grabbing, and the mood is quite wonderful.
Yan Gao also smiled: "It seems that the people prefer this, so I can really leave with confidence." ”
Wei Jingtian raised his hand: "Take care." ”
Yan Gao looked at her deeply: "If you can't stay in Dami, remember to come to me, I will always open the door for you." ”
Wei Jingtian smiled: "I'm the same for you." ”
They looked at each other and smiled, and they separated.
Back in Wacheng, the men touched their heads one after another, with a little embarrassment: "I'm really not used to it." ”
Wei Jingtian smiled: "There will be things that you are not used to in the future." ”
"What? What's going on, the owner of the village? ”
She had to send someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible, get more sea salt, and the situation in the capital, the mind of the new emperor, and the family with secret ambitions, all of which had to pay close attention.
