"Holy Lord, the minister has something to say."

Xu Maogong stood up, and Li Yu nodded: "What does Xu Aiqing have to say?" ”

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that this Tang knife can be sold."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yanjin and the others glared at them.

"Lord Xu, this is misleading the country. 、”

"This is just pushing my Tang Kingdom into the fire pit."

"............" everyone said gossiping, but Xu Maogong was not in a hurry, and said: "Listen to me, although the Tang knife is sharp, it is not an invincible weapon, if you can use the Tang knife to make money, then why not." With money, there are many things that my Tang Kingdom can do, develop the economy, raise soldiers, and even use this money to build more Mo Dao and buy more food, and the value generated by these is definitely beyond the value of Tang Dao itself. Speaking of this, Xu Maogong paused for a moment, and then continued: "Then there is, we have a common enemy with the Ming State, Wei State, if the Ming State has a Tang Knife, then the Wei State will not dare to be an enemy of my Tang State, first, the Ming State has a Tang Knife, and its strength has increased greatly, and it is possible to attack Wei State at any time,

Moreover, the Tang State and the Ming State were friendly friends, and the Wei State naturally had to be cautious. After Xu Maogong said this, although Cheng Yanjin and the others were still a little unhappy to sell knives, they no longer refuted, Li Yu showed a slight smile and said: "Xu Aiqing is reasonable, the price of Tang knives is very high, if Mingguo can really afford this price, we Tang Guo might as well sell some to them."

They use this money to buy food and strengthen the strength of our Tang State. ”

These are just what Li Yu can say, what can't be said, that is, although the Tang knife is powerful, it is by no means the most powerful weapon, these are still just cold weapons, when he gets the gunpowder out, the Tang knife is nothing.

If there were redcoat cannons or something, these would be nothing.

Therefore, while the Tang knife is valuable, try to maximize the benefits of the Tang knife now.

He was sure that even if the price was very high, Ming Guo would still buy it with blood.

When the kings and ministers had finished discussing this, they dispersed.

However, the next morning, Li Yu and they did not tell Liu Bowen the news, Li Yu and they were indeed going to sell knives, but in order to be able to sell them at a good price, they still decided to fish Liu Bowen and let them be anxious, they were in a hurry, and the price was naturally easier to say.

The officials of the Tang State discussed the matter of the harbor with Liu Bowen and them, and for two days, they did not mention the matter of Tang Dao, Liu Bowen was not in a hurry, but Lan Yu couldn't stand it a little.

"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by Tang Guo, whether the Tang knife is sold or not, give me a happy word."

Liu Bowen smiled: "They must want to sell it like this, but in order to get a good price, they are not prepared to be in such a hurry, they want us to be anxious." ”

If he wasn't ready to sell, Tang Guo would definitely say it directly, but now he didn't say anything, so it can be seen that Tang Guo wanted to sell, but the difference was just the price.

Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Lan Yu felt that it made sense.

"Mr. Liu is right, the more Tang Guo makes us anxious, then the less anxious we are, let them be anxious."

Lan Yu said, but Liu Bowen shook his head: "No, Tang Guo can not sell Tang Dao to us, but we need Tang Dao very much, since they want us to be anxious, then we are anxious to show them." ”

They didn't have much choice, at least in the case they wanted to get Tang Dao, they really didn't.

--------------------------

Xu Maogong was in charge of trade with the Ming Kingdom.

On this day, after discussing the matter of the harbor, Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Lord Xu, I want to buy your Tang Dao, I don't know what you mean by the saint, sell it, or not sell it?" ”

Seeing that Liu Bowen, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, was finally anxious, Xu Maogong was secretly happy, but he was very embarrassed on his face, and said: "Many ministers of my Tang Kingdom are unwilling to let them be sold, and my saint is also a little hesitant, so this matter is not easy to say." ”

Liu Bowen sighed and said: "Please also ask Lord Xu to tell you the emperor of Tang Guo, and say that as long as you Tang Guo is willing to sell Tang knives, the price or something, it will not be a problem, and I Mingguo is willing to buy it at a high price." ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "I will convey it truthfully, and if the Son of Heaven agrees, we will inform you." ”

"In this way, it will be annoying to Lord Xu."

After the two finished saying this, Xu Maogong entered the palace and told Li Yu about the situation.

"Holy Lord, this matter can be done."

Li Yu bowed his head: "Tomorrow, let them go to court." ”

The next day, in the morning, the cold wind raged. Liu Bowen and Lan Yu waited outside the main hall for a long time, and after entering the main hall, Li Yu said: "Many ministers of my Tang Kingdom are unwilling to let me sell Tang Dao to you Ming Kingdom, but since my Tang Kingdom and your Ming Kingdom have traded with each other, they are friends, and in the face of friends, I really can't refuse, for the time being, I will sell you a thousand Tang Dao." ”

A thousand Tang knives are not much, but they are definitely not less, Liu Bowen was somewhat happy after hearing this, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Thank you Emperor Tang, but I don't know the price?" ”

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, if you are willing to pay this price, a thousand Tang knives will be yours."

When they heard the number of 100,000 taels of silver, Liu Bowen and Lan Yu almost bit their tongues, Tang Guo is really a lion's mouth, a Tang knife wants a hundred taels of silver?

It's too dark, isn't it?

However, although he felt that the price was a bit outrageous, Liu Bowen still stood up and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is no problem, 100,000 taels of silver is 100,000 taels of silver, but I still have a request, I hope Emperor Tang can agree." ”

"Speak!"

"I don't have a lot of envoys, and my strength is not strong, so I am afraid that I will be robbed by some gangsters on the way, so I also ask Emperor Tang to send someone to escort us safely on the ship, how about it?"

Liu Bowen knows the importance of the Tang knife, in the Chinese countries, the Tang knife is an absolute weapon, if the news of them leaving with a thousand Tang knives spreads, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful along the way.

Their forces in the Tang State are very weak, and if they don't have the protection of the Tang State, they really can't get out of the Tang Kingdom.

When Li Yu heard Liu Bowen's words, he said with a smile: "Naturally, there is no problem in escorting you, but the cost of the soldiers along the way requires you to come out of the Ming Kingdom." ”

Hearing Li Yu say this, Liu Bowen was a little speechless, daring to love Li Yu is really a fan of money, so deducted, he is not even willing to give up such a little money.

However, in this case, Liu Bowen doesn't seem to have any other better choice, and said: "There is naturally no problem with this." ”

Doing business is originally a bargain between you and me, otherwise how can it be called business? After the two sides talked like this, they said some other things, and after saying that, Ming Guo chose a time for the deal, and when the deal was over, they should go back.
