Chapter 876: Unexpected Joy!
"I see!"
In the "Principal's Office", after Li Zexuan listened to the servant's words, he realized that he also had another errand on his own - the right promotion of the city department, and he would be the second-in-command of the "General Administration of Customs" of Datang in the future!
"The kindness of several Benhou has been received, since the Holy Lord has decided to open up the sea trade, as long as you do not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Benhou and the King of Hejian will definitely not embarrass you!"
Li Zexuan said lightly.
"Yes, yes, Master Hou, don't worry, we will never violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it's just ......... I don't know if the fairy mirror and glass cup in your Quirky Pavilion are still untouchable, can you sell a batch to us through sea trade? ”
The servant smiled humbly.
Speaking of the Wonder Pavilion goods such as the Fairy Mirror and the Glass Cup, the Servant Eight Yatu and the others were instantly shocked by the gods since they saw it two days ago, and they exhausted the remaining belongings on their bodies, all of which were used to buy the goods of the Wonder Pavilion, but they still felt that it was far from enough, because the treasures of the world such as the Fairy Realm and the Glass Bowl, once they brought them back to China, they could earn ten times or dozens of times the profit by selling them.
But then again, even if they have a lot of possessions, they can't buy a lot of Fairy Realm, Glass Jar and Don't Touch Me in a short period of time, because most of these things are scarce goods, and sometimes it is difficult to buy them even if they have money.
So they discussed with each other, and decided to meet Li Zexuan in person, first, to "worship the mountain", and second, to "talk about business" with Li Zexuan.
"Fairy mirror, glass cup, can't be touched! It turns out that the emissaries were interested in these things. However, I am afraid that it will disappoint everyone, because these things are still in short supply in the Tang Dynasty, and Benhou has not considered selling them to other countries. ”
Li Zexuan finally understood why these three people came to him today, but he really had no plans to expand the "overseas business" of Qiqu Pavilion at present.
"Master Hou, don't be in a hurry to refuse, the goods of the Strange Pavilion are extremely well-made, and our lord must also like it very much, when the price is not a problem, you will definitely sell it to us, and you will definitely earn more than in Datang!" Please think again! ”
A trace of anxiety flashed on the servant's face, and he hurriedly said.
Li Zexuan thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Ben Hou is currently busy with official business, and he doesn't want to be too distracted in business, let's talk about these things later!" ”
This is the order to expel the guest, the servant Yatu has been in Chang'an City for so long, and he has some understanding of the culture of the Tang people, but he is not willing to return in vain, after thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea, raised his head and said:
"I know that Hou Ye's family has a lot of money and doesn't care about money, but there are some things that Hou Ye must still care about, such as food and rubber! I heard that this time the Tang Dynasty went south to trade, and Hou Yetuo people transported back a large amount of rubber from an island in the south, and it happened that there were also large rubber forests in Zhenla country.
As long as the Hou Ye promises to supply some fairy mirrors and glass cups of the Wonder Pavilion for Zhenla, don't touch me, then our lord will definitely be willing to exchange grain and rubber belts with you, of course, if you are not satisfied, we can also add some jade and the best ivory! ”
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the servant tooth suddenly, and asked, "Is your Excellency serious?" Is there really a rubber forest in Zhenla? ”
You know, if you want to build a modern industrial system, you can't do without rubber. In addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubber can also be used, but the process of synthetic rubber is too complex to be completed with the current industrial base. As for natural rubber, Li Zexuan has not yet found wild rubber forests in Datang, or places suitable for rubber production.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to break the blockade of foreign countries, large-scale natural rubber plantations were established in Yunnan, Hainan and other places, which shows that the climate there is suitable for the growth of rubber trees. The emperor is far away, who will buy your Hou Ye's account over there!
Now he heard that there were rubber trees in the country of Zhenla, which was really unexpected good news!
"I will never dare to deceive Lord Hou! The people sent by the Hou Ye before, when they were picking rubber on that island, had seen it with their own eyes, and they were very sure that that kind of tree also existed in large numbers in Zhenla country! ”
Seeing that Li Zexuan was interested in rubber, he hurriedly replied excitedly.
This thing is worthless to him, and if it can be used as a bargaining chip, it is simply a lot of money!
"Master Hou! There are also rubber trees in the country of Bi, which can also be used in exchange, and please consider the country of Bi! ”
"Master Hou, although there are no rubber trees in Funan, there is a lot of grain and jade, and if Lord Hou really needs that rubber, the lord of our country can also send people to plant a large number of them. Funan country is adjacent to Zhenla country, and the trees they have, we can definitely plant them in Funan~! ”
Seeing that Zhenla had a tendency to take the lead and get rid of them going it alone, the envoys of the Bi Kingdom and the Funan Kingdom hurriedly said.
After Li Zexuan understood the words of several people, a smile finally appeared on his face, he pondered for a moment, and said:
"You are so sincere, if Ben Hou still doesn't let go, he will inevitably be a little unhappy! In this way, Ben Hou will order the Strange Pavilion to expand production as soon as possible, and then send a batch of goods to trade with you! If your lord is really willing to accept such a deal as you said, then we can cooperate for a long time in the future~! ”
In the final analysis, the fairy mirror, the glass cup, and the untouchable things are all luxuries, even if they are sold abroad, they will not harm the interests of the Tang Dynasty, if these envoys ask him for a compass, a curved plow, and a new textbook of the academy, which involve people's livelihood and science and technology, no matter how much money they pay, Li Zexuan will not agree to sell it.
"Thank you, Master Hou~! Hou Ye rest assured, I am absolutely confident that I will persuade our lord to agree to this deal~! ”
The servant was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down to thank him.
The other two envoys also assured Li Zexuan repeatedly.
"The three messengers are polite~!"
Li Zexuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and smiled faintly.
As the so-called serving tea to the guests, this servant can still understand, he glanced at the other two, and was about to get up to say goodbye, suddenly, she seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Li Zexuan and said:
"Hou Ye is so refreshing, then I will send Hou Ye a message below, I wish the friendship between you and me will last a long time!"
