At this time, Yang Mu was reviewing the recital in the Zichen Palace, and after hearing the performance of Yan Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his brows furrowed.

Merchants from all over the world asking to meet?

Or directly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

You don't have to think about it to know what the purpose of those merchants is, it is nothing more than to get the first-hand supply of goods directly from Cangguo, and then ship them back to China for sale.

However, as a businessman, is it a bit rude to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly and ask to meet the emperor in person?

Yang Mu didn't know anything else, but one thing was certain, the major vassal states generally valued agriculture and suppressed business, and the status of merchants was generally not very high, and even in some countries, the status of merchants was lower than that of commoners, and even the clothes they wore were required.

In this environment, the aristocracy of various countries will not personally participate in business, and are generally represented by domestic slaves below.

Now, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry could have solved the matter of purchasing books in batches, these people directly asked to meet the emperor.

Whether it is in terms of etiquette or reason, it is unreasonable.

What's the matter, do you think you're a God of Wealth?

A group of self-righteous businessmen who ran to a small country to show off their might?

Yang Mu was very unhappy, and had a feeling of being despised but at the same time, he also had reason to tell him that this was an opportunity that should not be missed, and only a fool would have trouble with money.

The major vassal states are richer than Dasheng countries, and if possible, it is not a problem to raise a few million taels.

So, he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hang these people first, wait until they couldn't stay any longer, and then check the situation.

Sure enough, the next day, these merchants couldn't hold it back, and shouted one by one, accusing Cangguo of being a barbarian land and ignorant of etiquette.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no choice, because in a real sense, it is also the first time for them to receive foreign guests from other than Cang Zhengshen's three countries, and they have no experience, and they don't know much about the twists and turns of those big vassal states, so they can only do things completely according to Yang Mu's instructions.

Three days later, the group finally saw some clues, but they didn't know which link was wrong, and tried to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a large sum of money.

Of course, this was a failed attempt, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were immediately taken aback, not to mention the vigorous anti-corruption campaign in the country today, this matter was still the personal attention of His Majesty the Emperor, and they did not dare to have any greedy thoughts.

However, after this incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made some small "reminders" to these people, pointing out the key points.

These businessmen came in groups, a total of nine branches, from all over the world, after mentioning something, they all woke up like a dream, although they muttered a little in their hearts, but thinking of the huge interests in front of them, they had to bite the bullet and ask the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for solutions.

"Now, my Cangguo is building a school, but helplessly, the imperial court is short of funds, and my Cangguo monarchs and ministers are worried about this matter, presumably Your Majesty is also in a bad mood because of this, avoiding outsiders......" Yan Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sighed.

As soon as they heard this, the merchants of various countries looked at each other and understood what was going on, and someone immediately said: "I have come from afar, and I am willing to do my best to show my heart." ”

Yan Hua sighed: "The gap is too big, I'm afraid it won't work......

“……”

All the merchants were speechless, not knowing how to take this sentence.

If you can't do it, how far will it go?

It's a matter of money bags, and no one can agree indiscriminately.

"The grass people don't know something, why does your country spend so much effort to teach some civilians to read and write, if everyone wants to be an official and no one cultivates the land, won't the world be in chaos?"

"I also have doubts, along the way, the people of the people are untouchables, and many people are talking about political affairs, what is the reason?"

"When passing through Zheng Guo, the grass people also had this doubt, it seems that there is no boundary between the people of the two countries, and the people are talking about the same thing."

"I heard that there is something called a newspaper......

"Yesterday I saw on the street that the Fables in your country seem to cost only 20 yuan a copy, which seems to be a bit unreasonable......

Businessmen from all over the world have expressed their doubts, and when they came, they did not stop longer along the way because they were afraid of being preempted by others, and they also rested in the place arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the past three days, and did not move around, so they had a lot of doubts in their hearts.

Yan Hua was very proud in his heart, as the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he knew very well what his job was, originally because of the weakness of Cangguo, there was still some confidence in his heart, and when he heard everyone's inquiry, a sense of pride and pride arose.

What a bunch of uninformed guys, to use the story on "Fables", what is it...... That's right, sitting in the well and watching the sky, Yelang is arrogant!

Yan Hua smiled slightly, didn't say much, picked up a cup of tea next to him, and drank it leisurely.

"This ...... Lord Yan, I don't know how much money is vacant in the construction of your country's school? Finally, someone couldn't be provoked and asked.

"Well...... This official is not familiar with the school, but according to the calculation of one public school in one township and township, it will cost seven or eight hundred thousand taels......"

Hearing this, businessmen from all over the world looked at each other.

Seven or eight hundred thousand taels, this is not a small amount, although they travel to various countries all the year round, but the profit of a caravan a year is only a hundred thousand taels, even if the seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver are jointly funded by nine caravans, they will not be able to come up.

"Lord Yan, we are walking outside, and we really don't have so much money on our bodies, can you see if you can ......," a young man said with a look of embarrassment.

Yan Hua put down the teacup in his hand and said, "This official is just telling you about His Majesty the Emperor's troubles, not asking you to wait for funds to build a school for my Cangguo...... Besides, these seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, if you succeed in meeting Your Majesty, compared to the silver you earn, seven or eight hundred thousand taels is a small amount, and now you can't even see Your Majesty's face, so naturally there is no way to talk about it. ”

What is the small number......

Businessmen from all over the world had a light in their eyes, and Yan Hua's words just spoke to their hearts.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, since ancient times.

Thousands of miles away, rushed to Cangguo, trying to see the emperor of Cangguo for what?

It's not the silver that spends in vain!

From what I saw and heard along the way, it can be seen that the cost of those books is very low, but once they are shipped out of Cangguo, they will rise to one tael of silver, and when they arrive at the bookstore of Dasheng Kingdom, they can only buy one for two taels of silver, and if it is a country farther away, there are nobles who are willing to buy more than a dozen taels of one......

Thinking of the profits, all the businessmen were hot, eager to pull a few cars back to China, and then they would make a profit.

But before that, you still have to see the Emperor of Cangguo as soon as possible, once the other caravans hear the news, it will not be good to be the first!
