Chapter 997: Envoys of various countries
Yang Huairen rested for a while, and then ordered someone to invite the envoys of various countries who had sent the prayer posts to come in and meet.
The number of envoys was a bit unexpected by Yang Huairen, although Yang Huairen had never heard of many countries or tribes, he still received them very politely.
In terms of the purpose of their coming, they are actually similar to those merchants in Dading Mansion just now, first of all, they all want to make friends with Yang Huairen, a legendary figure.
In Yang Huairen's feelings, although communication is not so convenient in this era, there are big things, such as wars and the like, and the news of various countries is quite well-informed.
In particular, the story of the Battle of Huanzhou seemed to have spread throughout Asia for a long time, and every envoy or tribal representative praised Yang Huairen's outstanding talent.
Of course, this kind of sycophancy is a matter of face, everyone chats and laughs, and it seems to shorten the distance between each other in an instant, maybe this is the subtlety of interpersonal relationships.
But this is not the point after all, and the next thing is the reason why they are in a hurry to visit Yang Huairen, or to talk about business.
The envoy of Huangtou Hui asked Yang Huairen that they also had a lot of yaks, and if Yang Huairen wanted it, the price would be negotiable.
The Uighurs in Xizhou said that you want yaks, and we have camels and Uighur sheep, so it is better to ask for them together, as long as you give cash, the price is not a problem.
The representative of the Sticky Bage Department said that they had picked some Tianshan Snow Lotus from the Tianshan Mountains this year, and the largest of them had been presented to the Khitan Emperor as a tribute, and the rest was not so small, and asked Yang Huairen if he wanted to buy it back and soak it in water to drink.
The Mongols wanted to sell horses, but in front of many people, it was too inconvenient to say it, so they wrote a note and handed it to Yang Huairen, which caused the other envoys to roll their eyes.
Yang Huairen was busy dealing with them, and said in his heart What is the matter with these people, is it really my family's money not money? Sell me all the livestock you have, and I'm really a livestock dealer? You're really an animal!
This is not the most excessive, after all, the price of their livestock is not high, and it is definitely not a loss to buy it back, but the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo are a bit excessive, they exposed their human trafficker nature in front of so many people, and they directly wanted to send a few beauties from their own country to Yang Huairen, so that Yang Huairen was not embarrassed.
They are all traffickers who give beautiful women, but their demands are different. The Japanese wanted to buy a huge amount of goods directly from the Great Song Dynasty, but the Koreans were not happy and tried every means to stop them.
Yang Huairen watched them grinning back and forth, and snickered in his heart, it was impossible to pull a rack, it was almost the same as thin mud.
The reason for their fight was very simple, Goryeo bowed to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty did not impose restrictions on Goryeo's maritime trade, but it was restrictive to the Japanese state, and set a lot of quotas.
Therefore, if the Wa Kingdom wanted a large number of Great Song Dynasty products, they needed to buy it from Goryeo, but the Goryeo people were not stupid, and took advantage of this advantage to buy goods from the Great Song Dynasty, and then resold them to the Wa people after adding several percent of the profits.
The Wa Kingdom was not rich, so it would inevitably increase a lot of costs, and the Koreans were happy to do such entrepot trade, anyway, they couldn't produce anything good in that little part of their country, so they could only rely on the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty to enjoy the shade.
Yang Huairen actually can't do anything, foreign trade is a national policy, not a county that he can influence, in the past, when the Empress Dowager Gao was in power, she wanted face, and now Zhao Xu seems to want more face, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom does not kneel to Lao Tzu, why does Lao Tzu sell you a bargain?
In these years, it is indeed a seller's market, and the one who has something is the boss, since the emperor of the Japanese kingdom wants to save face, then in the face of the awesome Great Song Dynasty, he can only stretch his neck and swallow this breath.
Yang Huairen remembered that the emperor of the Japanese kingdom came, and said in his heart that this is also a lord who wants to save face, and in a few years, the emperor will only have a name left, and when he is kept as pets in a small sedan chair with a coffin by those shoguns who will rise in the future, he doesn't know how much their face is worth.
Later, Yang Huairen felt that it might be that these ghosts, ghosts, snakes and gods from all walks of life had wronged him, and they all came to Yang Huairen to solve the problem if they couldn't sell any of their own goods.
However, the wronged boss did not feel that he was wronged, Yang Huairen ignored the price they offered, stretched out his hand and compared it to a knife, danced horizontally in the air, cut half and left half, and if you want to sell it, you will pay for it first, and if you don't sell it, you will pull it down.
In this way, these envoys immediately knew that Yang Huairen was powerful, and sure enough, just like the news from the businessmen from all over the world in Tokyo, this Yang Huairen was stunned.
They first widened their eyes to express their surprise mood, and then they discussed it with their respective companions, and in line with the principle that there is no benevolence in trading, their faces were filled with smiles again, and they unanimously decided...... Sold the livestock to Yang Huairen.
Yang Huairen didn't listen too carefully to what they said next, and he had already gone to his family's ranch at this time, thinking about how to build and expand his own ranch, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty would not have to worry about having no meat to eat in the future.
As for the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, Yang Huairen could only pretend to be embarrassed, saying that the matter needed to be discussed again.
And in fact, Yang Huairen belongs to the monkey drama and hasn't seen enough, it's good to watch it for a while to relieve boredom, isn't it, it's better to let them fight for a while, the human brain hasn't hit the dog's brain, what's the hurry?
In the end, most of them returned with a full load, thinking that they would write a letter to their hometown when they returned, and prepare those animals for Yang Huairen.
Only the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo left with black faces, and they did not gain anything on this trip, but lost dozens of beauties.
Yang Huairen really accepted it! But don't get me wrong, Yang Huairen doesn't have any other thoughts, just remembering that in the future, whether it is a farm, a ranch or a workshop, there will be a lot of labor needed, and now that he has four wives, does the maid have to add a little?
After sending away the two groups of people, it was almost late at night, Yang Huairen felt that his tongue was numb, he talked too much today, and his lips had a tendency to blister.
However, he was very happy to negotiate a lot of deals, and it seemed that when the envoy came to Liao, he still gained a lot, he made a lot of cheap crooked nuts, and his reputation spread far and wide, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Finally, he simply ate something and went back to his room to rest, and Yang Huairen remembered one thing, he received a group of businessmen and a group of envoys today, but he felt as if something was missing.
When Yang Huairen was washing, he felt as if he couldn't let go of something in his heart, and he knew that he was lying on the bed and covered with a quilt, and suddenly remembered why he felt that something was missing.
Last year, he pitted the Jurchen Ministry, which escalated the oppression of the Jurchens by the Khitans, and it is said that he came to Dading Mansion, and the Jurchens seemed to have some thoughts about him, but why did the representatives of the Jurchens never appear?
