Due to its representativeness, silk is destined to be the most expensive commodity of all goods, and it is an important export commodity that countries compete for. However, these are consumer goods that can be produced by various countries, and the consumer goods and industrial products that cannot be produced will be completely monopolized by the salty countries.

Especially fine cotton cloth, the fine cotton cloth of Xian country is the first in the world, while other countries can still only produce coarse cloth, and there are very few fine faces. Xianguo cotton cloth is the best in the Central Plains in terms of output and quality, not to mention the output. Jinguo, Zhiguo, and Weiguo cotton can be planted, but cotton cloth cannot meet domestic demand, on the contrary, it has to import a large amount from Xianguo, and it is simply unable to compete with Xianguo in the share of cotton cloth.

Although the price of cotton cloth is low, the total amount is large, and the profit is considerable.

By squeezing the prices of other countries through bidding, the efficient productivity of the same commodity does not suffer on the whole, and even if there is a loss, it will make more profits on more monopoly goods.

As she spoke, Bai Liyan took out a pearl the size of her thumb from her bosom and said to Mooney:

"Presumably, Lord Gudapa should have said that only Benhou can grow pearls in the world, and your clan regards pearls as the most precious treasure. Such a huge pearl, my Xianguo sells two thousand inches of silver, which is equivalent to less than a thousand noble silver coins, and any rich man in your clan can afford it, but now looking at the Central Plains, only this Benhou family has sold.

Don't you want to buy some of the gold and silver that you have left from the auction at that time? ”

"You treacherous bone, you can even grow pearls, what else can't you do!"

"Don't get excited, if Your Excellency can plant, Ben Hou is willing to admit defeat, but can Your Excellency?"

Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, Mooney was silent for a moment, and then said:

"I don't want to buy yours."

"If you don't buy it, someone will buy it, even if no one buys it, Ben Hou will crush it to make pearl powder, and someone will buy it, so Ben Hou will not worry about the path."

"You!" Mooney was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Alright...... I'll ask you, if you don't do it or not, continue to drag on, there will be more and more violent deaths in your country, and if it will be delayed for a long time, even if the deal is completed, I'm afraid your majesty will not have so much patience. ”

"Okay, but we'll have to prepare for a few days and make a decision after deliberation."

"I understand that you need to convince certain people in the mission that I believe that Your Excellency cannot make your own decisions. Besides, how to bid, the strategy is also very particular, you can carefully figure it out, it is better to be cautious. The nobles of the Central Plains are not the generals who kill in the south, and they have more eyes than you think. If you had encountered these guys on the battlefield back then, you might have lost even worse. ”

When the power elite is reduced to a tool of interest struggle and internal friction, the well-being of the people and the safety of the people are nothing but the propaganda slogans and agitation machines of politicians.

The hypocrisy of politicians is all to seek more benefits for themselves and the interests behind them, and this is not the case with Bailiyan.

When he came out of the Xuanting Pavilion at seven or eight o'clock, it was already dark, and Su Fangyi said when he sent Baili Yan out of the museum:

"Yan Gongzi's actions today are probably a disaster!"

Bailiyan was puzzled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"What does Mr. Su mean?"

"You use profit as bait, so that the princes compete with each other, it will inevitably intensify the situation of the countries you attack me, Val and I deceive, after this bidding, in the opinion of the next, the war may be rekindled. If the Jin Xuedi people use trade in the future to make our Central Plains a civil war, and then attack it again, the Central Plains will be in danger. ”

"Mr. Su's worries are not unreasonable, but Mr. Su knows what the situation will be in the Central Plains ten years later, let alone thirty years later. Taking a step back, no matter how my king divides the profits, there will always be princes who are dissatisfied, and even if my king does not take a penny, can he satisfy all the princes? I'm afraid it can't. If the princes are dissatisfied, there will be wars, and what this marquis can do is only to avoid the involvement of the Xian Kingdom, and not to offend everyone.

Rather than offending more people, it is better to offend only a few people, at least the Xianguo country will not lose more benefits for this. ”

The import of a large number of precious metals by the Jin Xuedi people had begun to emerge as early as twelve years ago when the ransom was negotiated for peace, and Cao Chizheng's proper disposal and Bailiyan and Gongliangwen's sacrifice of small and big finally avoided the disaster of blood and light. Now, the re-importation of precious metals will undoubtedly intensify the conflict of interests and provoke wars.

Su Fangyi's worries are not groundless, but they are also groundless. Objective problems will not change because of the transfer of people's will, and princes will not give up more territorial rights because of additional profits.

If you have more, I will have less, and if I have less, you will have more, no matter how the cake is divided, it will never be satisfactory to everyone, and there will always be victims who take over at the end.

Leaving the Xuanting Pavilion, Bailiyan returned to the palace for the second time, and the King of Xian summoned the princes to talk at night in the Wenxue Pavilion at this time, and Jiao Muhua came to report when he was young:

"King, the Marquis of Yongxing has arrived."

"Ask him to come in."

"No."

Wenxue Pavilion is the library of King Xian in the Imperial Garden, and it is not wrong to say that it is a study.

After a while, Bailiyan entered the second floor of the pavilion, and saw Jiang Hong, the eighth son of King Xian, Jiang Zhen, the ninth son, and Jiang Can, the youngest son, and then saluted:

"See the King."

"Yongxing Hou is exempt. Bo Yuanjun went to Liuhu in the afternoon, and no one already knew about it, did Aiqing go to Xuanting Pavilion after that? ”

"Yes. Knowing that Bo Yuanjun was not in the mansion, he went to the Xuanting Pavilion to learn more about it, and the Jin Xuedi mission was annoyed by the interests of various countries. ”

"What did you say?"

"Back to the king, the royal guest will not be involved in disputes, and let the nations and the Jin Xuedi mission deal with it themselves. The implication is that Yuke has neither interests nor concerns, and will not interfere. ”

"Yuke does not interfere, Bo Yuanjun avoids it, the situation is deadlocked, how is Yongxing Hou going to respond."

"Back to the king, the minister entered the palace overnight for this reason. Please ask the king to retreat from the three highnesses, and Rong Chen will elaborate. ”

"Hmm!" King Xian replied, looking at the third son: "The hour is not early, you three of you can rest separately." ”

"Obey the Father's ......"

The three sons spoke in unison and retreated one after another.

"Aiqing, sit down."

"King Xie." Sitting down, Bai Liyan continued: "Don't hide it from the king, the minister hasn't thought about how to deal with the princes, but he Bo Yuanjun avoided it, and he suddenly made a plan in anger. ”

"Oh, Aiqing say it quickly, what a good policy."

"That's ......"

Explain in detail what he had previously mentioned with Mooney, and King Xian will be suspicious when he hears the news:

"Why does this law widow listen to such a suspense, the princes compete to lower the price, isn't it cheap for the barbarians, how can the countries be fooled."

"That's why we have to start with inferior and valuable goods, trade them first, then precious goods, and finally inconsequential goods. The only princes who can produce a large number of inferior and valuable goods are the eldest grandson, the Wei Guo, and the small countries of the West Sea. But in general, when the nations trade with each other, they buy valuable goods first, so whoever has more valuable goods gets more benefits.

But no matter how much money there is, there is a limit to the money, and there is a limit to the goods that can be purchased. Therefore, for all transactions, the buyer has a base order, and all goods have a detailed total amount, and when the total amount of goods is also unchanged, the only thing that can change is the price. Only when the price of goods is lower, more money can be freed up to buy goods. ”

"Well, that's right, Aiqing continued."

"At present, Liangguo, Zhiguo, Jin and China produce more high-quality goods and a small number of inferior goods. The eldest grandson and Wei produced more inferior goods, and the effects of the West Sea had their own strengths. Therefore, if the bidding first trades inferior goods, Liang Guo, Zhiguo, and Jin Guo have no excuse to oppose it, and even if they oppose it, Wei Guo and Changsun Guo will definitely not sit idly by and watch themselves suffer, and will definitely trade with Jin Xuedi. As long as you start trading and make a pattern, it will be easier to auction in the future. ”

"Why is that?" King Xian asked.

"Although the products produced by Wei Guo and the eldest grandson are inferior valuables, the inferior valuables are the bulk of the market purchases, although the price is slightly lower, but the output is relatively sufficient, the total amount is more, and the profits that can be harvested are actually more than the precious goods. The total amount of the goods determines the total price, so the trade in such valuable goods will reduce the total amount of gold and silver that the Jinshedi people carried.

When the gold and silver are greatly reduced, the other princes who have not yet traded their valuable goods will be forced to participate in the trade as soon as possible, so as to share the benefits. ”

"Then won't my Xianguo have to compete with Liang again?"

"Yes, but the king has thought about it. Jin Xuedi people use bidding to reduce prices, and they can buy more goods at a lower price, but how much to buy is not what the Central Plains says, but what Jin Xuedi people say. Therefore, the minister persuaded Mooney that the total amount of commodities should remain unchanged as much as possible, and that the gold and silver saved by bidding would buy commodities that only our country could produce. In this way, our Xian country and other countries can appropriately suffer some losses in the common goods, and then make back from the monopoly of goods in our Xian country. ”

"I see, the barbarian won't go back on his word, right?"

"He doesn't dare, he attaches great importance to my Xianguo goods, if he goes back on his word, the minister doesn't give it or gives it less, he can't do anything, anyway, Jin Xuedi can't make it."

"It's still Aiqing's skills that can solve the worries of widows."

"The king praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Baili Yan bowed slightly, and then said: "However, this matter still needs to be kept secret, especially the matter of the secret negotiation between the minister and Jin Xuedi, once it is rumored, it will be unfavorable to the minister, and even more unfavorable to our Xianguo, it should be made public by the Jin Xuedi mission." ”

"Aiqing, rest assured, few people understand this matter."

"King Shengming."

At this moment, Bailiyan has the feeling of "national thief scum", and it is not a glorious thing to discuss with the captives to harm the same clan after all, and it will not be a good thing to spread it.

When he was young, King Xian changed his words and mentioned his third son:

"What does the Marquis of Yongxing think about the widows?"

"Back to the king, all the sons of the world have good character and talent, and it is not inappropriate."

"Aiqing doesn't have to comfort the widow, the widow knows how many catties and taels his sons have, the prince is lustful, Hong'er likes famous horses, Zhen'er likes jewelry novelties, and Can'er is ......" When Jiang Can's voice was said, King Xian's expression was complicated, and Mo Ruojiu continued: "Can'er is mediocre and has no achievements, so how can the widow entrust the inheritance of his ancestors to them with peace of mind in the future." ”
