Chapter 8 We are all serious businessmen
"Wang'er, you have to interrogate the strange people in Dongshi next, are you tired?" Qin Zheng touched Hu Hai's head and asked dotingly.
Hu Hai shook his head and said curiously: "Father, not only are the sons and daughters not tired, but they can't wait. I wonder which of these weirdos or the true god is more interesting? ”
"Oh? Haha, my father doesn't know either. Zheng Ling, let them come up. ”
Qin Zheng was also very happy to see Hu Hai being so curious about new things, and turned his head and ordered Zheng Ling to call someone.
"Hey, the mayor of Chuandong City and the Gentile rebels are going to the temple!"
Accompanied by Zheng Ling's elongated pronouncing order, a young man wearing a small official's official uniform went to the hall with three "wild men" in short clothes and fur furs.
Before the people reached the middle, Qin Zheng and Hu Hai, who were standing on a high place, were constantly looking at them.
The young mayor was obviously a little excited when he went to the palace for the first time, but it could be seen that he was very well-educated on weekdays, and he didn't look too scared to walk at all.
The three "Gentile Savages" who followed were far behind, although they were of different ages, but in the face of this scene, they all behaved like baby toddlers, shaking three times like walking on thin ice.
But you say they're timid, and they're staring at them with big eyes along the way, which is really weird.
The young man still knows etiquette very well, and when he came up, he bowed respectfully: "Minister, Bai Pu, the mayor of Dongshi, has seen the king, my king for ten thousand years, and Qin for ten thousand years." ”
Not only that, but the young man also tilted his head and glanced at the "wild man" next to him, and the three of them were also clever, and then bowed to Qin Zheng like a cat and a tiger, and his mouth was also indiscriminately pulling ten thousand years or something.
"This young man can, and the Gentiles who are difficult to communicate with are also obedient to him, and the temple is neither humble nor arrogant. It's just that the name is too ugly, and it's a prostitute...... It's okay. ”
Qin Zheng raised his hand while thinking about it and motioned for them to get up, and then spoke:
"That white... Qing, this is the first time I have dealt with this kind of problem, and I feel that I don't know where to start, do you have any suggestions? ”
"Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to elaborate for Your Majesty."
"Yes."
On that day, the minister was patrolling the market when he suddenly saw a group of people gathering, so he stepped forward to check.
Knowing that the three men had come from the east, they had taken a fancy to the lacquerware in the market, but they had no money, only a large seashell, and the merchants were naturally reluctant to sell it to them.
The three of them argued with the merchants, and if Weichen hadn't arrived in time, they might have to do it. ”
Bai Pu said that when he looked up and saw Qin Zheng nodding approvingly, he was also very happy in his heart, it seemed that he was going to make a meritorious contribution this time. Then he explained more diligently:
"Originally, this was not a problem, because whether it is in the west or Bashu, many places where there are no households, all ethnic groups do not often use copper money and empty cloth, and they will also use physical goods to trade in our market.
Usually at this time, we will use a set of criteria to estimate the price of these things, and after all are negotiated, we will make a wooden deed in the presence of more than three people to complete the transaction.
The problem this time is that, firstly, they can't say where they are, and they can't make a valid wooden contract; Second, they only brought shells, which are estimated to be of a very low value, not to mention that they can't buy lacquerware, and I'm afraid they won't be enough to eat......"
"Huh?" Qin Zheng also frowned slightly after hearing this, and turned his head to look at the three people next to him again. At this moment, the three of them were a little less frightened and more surprised than just now.
Qin Zheng tentatively spoke: "Gentiles... Gentile? I ask you, where are you? ”
The eldest of the three, who seemed to be the largest, stepped forward with a strange etiquette, and said timidly and bluntly, "King, we are merchants. ”
Qin Zheng shook his head, slowed down his speech and said, "I know that you are merchants, I am asking you which country and which nationality are you?" ”
The other savage seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't do anything polite, so he directly grabbed the words: "King, we are merchants. ”
This person's speech was even more unclear, and Qin Zheng was a little anxious when he listened: "I know that you are businessmen, and what I am asking is..."
At this time, Hu Hai, who had been silent in the back, suddenly spoke: "Father, will their home be called Shang?" ”
"Huh? Yes! Merchant, merchant! Dayi merchants! Bai Pu next to him suddenly realized, and shouted directly: "King, born Xuanniao!" ”
"Born into business!" Qin Zheng immediately opened his mouth to pick it up, and at this moment he finally understood that these were "Shang Dynasty people".
And Qin Zheng not only understood their origins, but also thought of the origin of the surname Ying, which is the same as the surname of the Shang royal family, and the evidence is that they share a myth of the origin of "the Xuanniao descends its eggs into the woman's belly".
"Yes, yes, Xuanniao... Business... We're serious... Merchant! The three businessmen here were also very excited, but they couldn't talk about it, so they could only talk and make comparisons.
Qin Zheng was also limited in excitement, and the set was almost there: "Okay, good, I, Ying's family, after Emperor Qingyang's (Shaohao)." Do you know that my ancestors are evil? ”
"Evil comes! The evil general is invincible! The three businessmen also praised one after another, and one of them even said with a stiff accent and a fluttering eyebrow:
"I also saw General Evil in the capital a month ago, he went out hunting with the emperor, and I heard that he caught a tiger and came back."
"Amazing, amazing......" The other businessmen praised one after another, not seeing that Qin Zheng was speechless.
"Evil comes to live, and he also escorts Emperor Shang to hunt, so isn't this Emperor Shang Di Xin? Good girl, King Shang! ”
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng hurriedly asked the three of them: "The current Shang Emperor is Zishou Emperor Xin?" ”
The merchants didn't seem to shy away, and nodded one after another. At this time, Qin Zheng's brain was also a little dizzy, and this feeling was similar to when he learned that this was the ninth year of Ming Dynasty orthodoxy.
"This is too chaotic, they are walking from the east, which means that the northeast of my Great Qin is the Shang Dynasty, so is the Korean army that Zhao Gao went to fight behind a South Korea during the Warring States Period?"
The more Qin Zheng thought about it, the more anxious he became, if Korea in the northeast was a rebellion by the Korean clan, everything would naturally be easy to solve. But a South Korea during the Warring States period may not be easy to deal with.
"There are fierce generals on Di Xin's side, then South Korea can also have Han Fei, I am a Zhao Gao now, can I win?"
Thinking about it like this, Qin Zheng's good mood was gone, and he hurriedly waved at Zheng Lingyi and said, "Tell Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, the Han army on the opposite side may not be easy to deal with, let him be cautious." ”
"Hey!"
Zheng Ling didn't understand why his king's thinking was so out of the east and the mallet in the west, so he could only respond first.
"Bai Pu, I don't know much about business, since the businessmen are here, we have to find a way to complete the transaction, but fairness must be done.
I have now promoted you to the position of Secretary of Commerce, specializing in the management of foreign trade, and you will organize the two businessmen and a few mayors in a while to discuss a general plan, and I will realize the communication between the two sides as soon as possible, do you understand? ”
"Hey!" Bai Pu bowed excitedly, he became a "qing" all of a sudden, although it was only a verbal arrangement, but as long as he did a good job, his future success was just around the corner.
"That's... Merchant? Qin Zheng pointed to the largest merchant and asked, "I plan to write a letter of state, and send my prime minister to visit His Majesty Emperor Xin and give you 10 pieces of cloth, are you willing to lead the way for me?" ”
"Yes! We do! The merchants nodded hurriedly, they weren't stupid.
Qin Zheng was obviously very friendly, and said that he was related to General Evil, and this must be a credit, and he was willing not to give anything.
"Okay, I'm going to give it to another general in a few days, so I'll send it to you." Qin Zheng decided.
"Thank you... Your Majesty. The merchants learned to bow to Bai Pu again, and this time they were already presentable.
Qin Zheng looked at their appearance, and was secretly a little frightened, these people's learning ability was really no different from Qin people.
But on the surface, he still looked very talkative: "Well, you are really serious businessmen, so let's go to the pawn house to rest first." ”
"Hey!" Immediately, Zheng Ling led Bai Pu and the three merchants out of the main hall. Only father and son were left in the temple.
At this time, Hu Hai asked with some puzzlement: "Father, the king is not ......."
"Tyrant? Child, you have to learn that seeing is believing, whether he is a tyrant or not, we will not know until we have seen him. Qin Zheng said earnestly.
After speaking, he couldn't help but look up at the window, and his mind appeared with the various imaginations of later generations about Di Xin, the legendary last emperor, and then gradually replaced Yingzheng and Hu Hai......
In the end, Qin Zhengmeng retracted his thoughts, turned to Hu Hai and said, "I can only say that he is a serious businessman now, and he will ...... in the future Sooner or later it's a dead man. ”
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Father is right, everyone will die in the end, hahaha." ”
"Oh? Maybe, hahaha......" Qin Zheng touched his son's head and said with a smile.
