Although Zuo Ling thinks that she and Sanniangzi have talked very speculatively, it seems that a cooperation agreement has been reached.

Moreover, he has little confidence in this, such a big thing is by no means something that the third lady can do, at least it takes the king of a big clan to be competent.

Besides, the best candidate is actually the little prince Khannaji, and once an agreement is reached with him, it can be kept unchanged for decades.

Of course, directly cooperating with King Alta is the most beneficial to the current situation, but King Alta has been cooperating with those powerful families for a long time, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, especially since King Alta is standing next to Zhao Quan of the White Lotus Sect, which makes him instinctively resistant.

However, it is not bad to reach a cooperation intention with the third lady first, and when the little prince returns to Bansheng City, the cooperation object will naturally be excessive, and it will become the two of them.

If such a cooperation can be achieved, there will be no need to find someone else. His greatest demand outside the country was medicinal herbs, and he was not very interested in the demand for leather goods, wool, and the trade of horses, cattle and sheep.

"You find time to tell the three ladies that if they want iron weapons, then they have to sell our best military horses." Besides.

The imperial court restricted the trade in iron weapons to the various ethnic groups outside the Sai Dynasty, and the various ethnic groups outside the Sai Dynasty imposed restrictions on military horses in the imperial court, both of which were weapons and were strategic.

It is necessary to open the mouth at the same time, otherwise there is no need to talk.

Moreover, there is a great demand for military horses, and he has always had a dream, which is to build a strongest fleet comparable to Zheng He's fleet back then, and the other is to build a strong army of 100,000 cavalry.

In fact, there is a conflict between the two, one is a naval army, the other is a land overlord, and they want to integrate the two together to build a strong amphibious army.

It's like today's Marines!

"Will they agree to this plan?" Zuo Ling was a little worried.

Although she didn't understand politics, she also knew that iron tools and military horses were goods that the imperial court and the various tribes outside the Seychelles restricted trade with each other. They are only a private cooperation with the three ladies, can they break this restriction?

"If they want iron weapons, then they must sell them to our military horses, and they can't engage in unilateral restrictions. This is a prerequisite. "Besides, it's a sure thing.

"Then why don't you say it, you have to let me say it?" Zuo Ling is a little reluctant, why do you have to let her do things that offend people?

Moreover, he smiled and said: "Between you women, it is easy to say anything." I can't talk to Her Royal Highness the princess, she is a woman after all, and she is still the fiancée of the little prince, if I am tough, will I lose my grace? Anyway, you just spread the word, if she can't be the master, she will naturally go to someone who can be the master. ”

"Okay, okay, sir, anyway, your face is expensive, and my face is not worth much." Zuo Ling complained.

Zuo Ling pondered for a while, but decided to go to the third lady to discuss things. As a real businessman, face is important, profit is the last word, she is just a word, not to talk about face.

After Zuo Ling left, he sat alone in the big tent and drank tea lightly.

"Are you alright, sir?" Ji Chang walked in and looked around, and then asked cautiously.

"Of course I'm fine, what can I do? What are you looking for? Besides, looking at his thief eyebrows, he was a little puzzled.

"I'm looking for a washboard, but luckily we didn't have it, and if I did, I'd have to hide it." Ji Chang said with a smile.

", am I so afraid of my wife?" Besides, he feigned anger.

"My lord, is there anything you don't know?" Ji Chang said with a smile.

"Of course I know, I'm the number one powerful person in the dynasty, how can I be afraid of my wife?" Besides, I was a little weak in my heart.

He once entered Zuo Ling's room and was thrown out of the room by Zuo Ling's ears, which spread throughout this inner and outer house, and from that day on, his reputation for being afraid of his wife was confirmed.

Ji Chang smiled and said nothing, the smile was clearly saying: Adults don't need to say anything, we all understand.

Besides, there is nothing to do, after all, the facts are there, and it is useless for him to quibble. But it's not right to say that he is afraid of his wife, he is just spoiling them.

After Zuo Ling went for a quarter of an hour, he came back again, followed by the three ladies and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect and a group of maids.

"Besides, why are you bargaining with me, don't you keep saying that we are a family? You're embarrassed too. As soon as the three ladies saw the situation, they shouted loudly.

Besides, he stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's not bargaining, it's called a brother's accounting." ”

The third lady was blocked by his words, and said for a long time: "Okay, let's settle this account clearly." ”

Moreover, after welcoming the two of them to sit down, Zuo Ling smiled and said, "I just talked to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they can sell us a thousand military horses every year." ”

"Then, we can sell ten iron pots and a hoe to Her Royal Highness the princess every year." Besides, he said slowly.

"You...... You're a big lion, aren't you? A thousand military horses can only be exchanged for you for ten iron pots and a hoe? The third lady stood up.

"Just kidding, of course it's not true. However, a thousand military horses are indeed too few, and there must be 10,000 of them, and they must not be less. "Besides, it's the right color.

He wants to build an elite army of 100,000 iron horsemen, and now there are only 10,000 horses, and even if he enters 10,000 horses every year, it will take ten years to make up this number.

Besides, of course, you can't count on all the three ladies' side, the military horses need to be raised from many sources, and if you can buy about 20,000 horses every year, even if you can basically meet the standard. The elite cavalry adopts a two-horse system, and a cavalry team of 100,000 people needs 200,000 horses.

This time, he wiped out a swarm of bees and a gang, and he got 3,000 military horses for nothing, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

"Then tell me, how many military horses do you need every year, and how many iron weapons do you need to change?" The third lady asked straight to the point.

"Let's talk about this slowly, mainly iron tools and military horses are strategic materials, it's hard to say how much I can get here, It's easier for Her Royal Highness the Princess to get military horses than me, right?" Besides.

"Your Highness, are you saying the opposite? Military horses are the real strategic equipment, and iron pots and farm tools can only be regarded as civilian materials. The former saintess of the White Lotus Sect said lightly.

Besides, he smiled and didn't speak. He saw that this White Lotus Sect Supreme Holy Maiden regarded herself as the protector of the Three Ladies, and he was afraid that the Three Ladies would suffer losses in the negotiations, so he followed, ready to meet the challenge at any time.

Besides, I don't dislike it, buying and selling is about talking, and talking about it is a good thing. It doesn't matter if you are red-faced during the negotiation process, as long as you are sincere, it will be easy to do it, and after the decision is made, both sides will strictly abide by the agreement.

No matter what kind of business, in a long-term relationship, no one can expect to make a fortune from the other party, it will not work.

He took out a set of tea sets, then took out a red clay stove, called to protect the charcoal fire, and said with a smile: "Princess, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, we really have to talk about these issues, iron pots and farm tools are civilian materials, but the military horses I want to buy are also used to pull goods for transportation, which are also civilian." ”

"Shame on you." The previous saint was angry, who bought military horses to pull goods and run transportation, didn't that take money as firewood?

"Don't believe it, Tianma, you all saw it, didn't I use it to pull the cart? Our Ming Dynasty is rich, and being rich is capricious! Besides, he said coldly.

In a word, he forcibly scolded the previous saint back.

Besides, he was right, his chariot was drawn by eight horses, and the previous saint saw it clearly. For the people of the horse, the act is simply a heinous crime.

That's ten Pegasus, don't look at the crowds of horses everywhere, it's difficult to get one of those Pegasus, this kind of Pegasus can only be used for competitions, or the princes and nobles pull it out to show off, or for breeding.

How could Pegasus, who were reluctant to ride, let them pull the cart?

"Okay, if you have money and you are willful, then why do you care so much about our business?" The third lady hurriedly played the round field.

She also hated the use of a horse-drawn cart very much, but this was someone else's business, and she couldn't control it.

"What kind of money do you have in the Ming Dynasty, the annual income of 2.4 million taels of silver in the treasury is beyond your means, and there is famine everywhere, so you can't open the pot, right?" The saint sneered.

"You can't look at the surface of things, our Ming Dynasty, do we live on the little silver in the treasury? You really don't understand this. And sneered.

The saint was speechless, and this was close to quibble, but it also made sense, if the Ming Dynasty really relied on the 2.4 million taels of silver every year, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, but the imperial court was not only silver, but mainly rich in products, which was far from being compared.

Suddenly, the water on the red clay stove boiled, and after making tea, a cup was poured for everyone.

"Your Highnesses, please try it, this is the best tribute tea, and I can only taste it." Besides, he motioned for everyone to drink tea.

He is not angry with the Holy Maiden, it is normal for people to bargain with you, if the two parties don't even bargain for the sale, it means that they are not sincere in doing business at all.

He cooks a tribute Da Hong Pao, this kind of tea is not produced much every year, except for some rations in various provinces, it is basically used as tribute, and the amount is not large. Moreover, as the commander of Jinyiwei, he can only get two catties per year, and other varieties of tea are supplied with two catties per month.

He didn't drink the real Da Hong Pao in his previous life, and the counterfeiters drank a lot, compared with the genuine products, it was a world of difference.

He also found a problem, the Ming Dynasty's tribute tea making process was much more sophisticated than that of later generations, and he had also drunk some of the same tea in his previous life, but compared with tribute tea, it didn't look like a kind of tea at all.

There are two possibilities for this situation: one is that there is a big gap between the tribute and the big road goods, and the other is that the tea processing technology of the Ming Dynasty was lost during the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as the tea was poured out, the fragrance was wafting everywhere in the tent, and even the three ladies who didn't like the habit of drinking tea in the mainland moved their index fingers and couldn't help but take a sip.

"Is this tea?" She asked in surprise after drinking.

"Tea, of course. However, one or two of this kind of tea is one or two gold, and there is no place to buy it if you have money. Besides, he laughed.

"Then you give me two catties of this tea every year, and this set of tea sets and tea will be sold to me first, and then five hundred sets of this tea set and tea stove will be sold to me every year, and the price will be set by you."

"The tea stove and the best tea set are fine, but this set of tea sets is not good, this is my personal items, not for sale." Besides.

This set of tea sets is porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and it was finally obtained from the palace, and it was used to cook tea and live a fairy life.
