Chapter 118: The Diplomat of the Ox Clan
The next day, in the county yali of Lanjiao County, the county commanders Qi Yuanmo and Liang Dongyi had a very happy conversation.
Qi Yuanmo smiled and said: "The adjustment of conscription is a matter within the lord's territory, and the lord can decide for himself." ”
Liang Dongyi arched his hand and said: "According to the law, although this is the case, but Jieshi Village is a land under the jurisdiction of the adults after all, and the lower officials are worried that the adjustment of forced labor will affect other villages in the county, so it is reasonable to ask the adults for instructions first." Xiaguan wanted to expand the wharf, mine ore, reclaim wasteland, and properly manage Jieshi Village. However, due to the shortage of manpower, he had no choice but to adjust his conscription to attract villagers from other places. ”
"The lord wants to reduce his conscription for one month, and the official has no objection. To tell the truth, there are more than 600 villages in Lanjiao County, and the adjustment of the conscription of one village has nothing to do with the overall situation. Even if many people are willing to move to Jieshi Village, how many people can you accept? The overall impact is minimal. ”
Qi Yuanmo was very satisfied with Liang Dongyi's attitude, I heard that the people who came were all above the top and regarded local characters as ants, but this Liang Gongzi was very sensible.
Liang Dongyi wanted to reduce the conscription and attract more people to move to Jieshi Village, and before adjusting the conscription, he came to inform the Qi County Order. Originally, he wanted to directly announce the adjustment of the conscription, but Mo Xiang hinted at it, and he remembered to see the Qi County Order. Although he has a knighthood, his position is only a village chief after all, and the county commander is his superior, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the county.
After he met with Qi Yuanmo, as soon as he left the county office, Cheng Long contacted him through "Qianli Chuanyin": "Brother Yi, do you have time to go back to Jieshi Village?" ”
"I was about to go back, what's wrong?"
"The foreign minister of the Niu clan is here, and he wants to see you."
"Okay, I'll be there."
After two teleportations, Liang Dongyi appeared in the teleportation array of Jieshi Village.
There was a group of Niu clan officials and guards outside the teleportation array, and Song Xingyu led a "cow man" to Liang Dongyi: "This is Niu Dali, the foreign minister of the Niu clan, Lord Niu, this is Liang Dongyi." ”
This "cow man" has a combination of human and cow characteristics on one face, a big bull nose is very eye-catching, and a pair of eyes are not much smaller than Tong Ling. The expression on this face is easy to see and feels a bit like a character from a 3D animation.
"Lord Niu, welcome to Jieshi Village, first go to the humble house and sit down, and we will talk slowly."
Niu Dali smiled and said: "Okay, Liang Gongzi, Niu came presumptuously, but as soon as he heard that you were willing to exchange grain for ore, the cattle were very excited, and Niu wanted to come and talk to you." ”
"Good come, we are neighbors, we need to communicate more."
Everyone came to the living room of the village chief's house, Mo Xiang took the maidservants to serve fragrant tea, she thought very thoughtfully, and gave Niu Dali a big cup, the mouth of which was as big as a bowl. Niu Dali's hand also has five fingers, but each finger is as thick as a small radish, and it is difficult for him to hold a small cup.
Niu vigorously picked up this big cup, tilted his head, and drank it all with a "grunt": "It's a fragrant tea, Niu has never drunk such fragrant tea." ”
Liang Dongyi said: "Moxiang, prepare five catties of tea, and bring it back to Lord Niu in a while." ”
"Yes, master!"
Niu Dali said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Niu wants to ask first, how to exchange this ore for grain." ”
When it comes to specific negotiations, Liang Dongyi is not easy to speak, and there is not much room for maneuver in the price he said. He glanced at the Dawn negotiators present, and let them talk first, because if they couldn't talk, they could overturn and renegotiate.
The negotiator coughed and said respectfully: "Lord Niu, we know that there are a lot of ores in your clan, and our grain is also relatively tight, and the grain harvest in the outside world in the past two years is not very good......
Niu Dali was anxious: "No, I won't change it." ”
"No, no, no, of course, but you see the proportion of this exchange...... Is it to give more ore. ”
Niu Dali said happily: "Okay, the cattle have nothing in their territory, but there are many stones." It's also reasonable to give more ore, you say how to change it. ”
The negotiator said cautiously: "A thousand catties of stone for a catty of rice, do you think it's okay?" ”
The adventists present looked at each other, Nima, she was embarrassed to say it, this is too tricky. According to this calculation, a ton of ore for 2 catties of rice, although the price of iron ore has fallen sharply in recent years, but no matter how low it is, it will cost a few hundred yuan a ton, and when it is high, it will cost more than 1,000 yuan a ton, and 2 catties of rice will be exchanged for a ton of ore.
Niu Dali's pair of bull's eyes turned around, and he touched the horns on his head: "It's okay to change the stone of iron like this, but ...... change the stone of copper like this."
The negotiator immediately said: "How about a thousand catties of copper stones for ten catties of rice, ten times?" ”
Niu vigorously said: "Okay, Niu agrees to this change." But the ox had to go back and report to the patriarch before he could be sure. ”
It's too much to trap people like this, Liang Dongyi wanted to open his mouth several times, but in the end he held back. The initial price is lower, and there is room for improvement in the future, and if the cattle miners are in a mood in the future, they can raise the price to soothe.
Niu Dali said again: "The ratio of stones for grain is set, but how much grain can be exchanged for in total?" ”
Liang Dongyi immediately said: "Lord Niu, how much grain to exchange is restricted by the territory's cross-border warehouse, I don't know if your Niu clan has a space stone?" With more space stones, we can build bigger warehouses, and you can exchange more food. ”
Niu Dali asked the other "cow man" next to him, and said, "No, all the space stones of the cattle were sold to the fox clan last year." The space stone can be used to build a teleportation array, and some space spells also use space stones, and the cattle don't understand the space spells, so they will sell them to the fox clan. ”
"How many pieces were sold to the fox clan?"
"That's more than 1,300 in total."
More than 1,300 pieces! Cheng Long and Song Xingyu's eyes were about to bulge when they heard this, the Dawn War Troupe worked hard to get 15 yuan, and the Niu clan was good, and it was sold for more than 1,300 yuan at once. If these weren't sold, wouldn't they all fall into the pockets of the Dawn Warband?
Niu Dali stood up and said: "No matter how big or small the transaction volume is, the cattle have done this business." Niu went back first, reported the matter to the patriarch, and settled it as soon as possible. ”
Liang Dongyi and others sent Niu Dali and his entourage out of the village, and Mo Xiang gave a large bag of tea to Niu Dali's entourage, and everyone watched them leave.
When everyone returned to the village chief's house, Cheng Long said with a guilty face: "The Niu clan is really loyal and honest, and I feel a little sorry to treat honest people like this." ”
Liang Dongyi saw that Mo Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "What can you say directly?" ”
"Actually, the Niu clan didn't suffer, why didn't you care?"
"No, it doesn't hurt like this?"
Mo Xiang said: "The territory of the Niu clan is full of ore, no matter how low the exchange ratio is, it is profitable for them to be able to exchange it for food." In addition, if the storage capacity of the territorial cross-border warehouse you mentioned is limited, it is better to directly exchange grain for iron and copper ingots, which will take up less space. ”
