Chapter 418: Sky-high glass statues
"No!"
Tan Feihong, the envoy of the State of Chu, changed his color in shock and interrupted Qin Changfeng's words.
This glass statue was sold to the merchants of the Chu State?
Show me, what does that mean?
In the Chu State, which of the slightly larger caravans does not have the background of the family?
Once you see this glass statue, aren't you crazy?
Don't say 100,000 taels, it's twice as much, and buy it too!
This is a good kung fu, buy it back and give it to the family behind it, and then let which official present it, a proper great credit!
Tan Feihong, the envoy of the State of Chu, also had this idea, thinking from the beginning that even if he spent a big price, he must buy this glass statue back, but he just wanted to keep the price as low as possible.
As soon as he heard that Qin Changfeng had sold it to the caravan of the Chu State, he immediately regretted it, and hurriedly said: "This envoy is the ambassador to Cangguo who was personally decreed by His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, and he is responsible for the contact between the two countries all the year round. ”
"What's the point?" Qin Changfeng was surprised and said: "Your envoy should not be confused, no matter what the status of this thing is in your Chu country, but in the eyes of my Cangguo, after all, it is just a commodity goods, as long as the price is sufficient, not to mention the merchants of Chu State, even merchants from countries such as Mang Country and Yun Country also sell it." ”
Tan Feihong, the envoy of the State of Chu, knew in his heart that what Qin Changfeng said was not a lie.
Such a flawless glass statue, once it comes out, will definitely be covered with a layer of mystery, resting in the Chu State is auspicious, after high-level deliberate rendering, and then the folk fermentation, a proper miracle from the sky.
"One hundred thousand taels is one hundred thousand taels! I bought it under it! Tan Feihong, the envoy of the State of Chu, hurriedly said.
"This ......" Qin Changfeng hesitated again, and stopped talking.
Tan Feihong, the envoy of the State of Chu, was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu is still hesitating about something, you and I are willing, my lord will sell it to Zaixia, and it will be shipped to China immediately, and there will be a good reward in the future." ”
Qin Changfeng shook his head and said, "Business and trade exchanges, faithfulness is the foundation, this official has already agreed with the caravan of the Chu State, and it will be traded tomorrow, and it is not good to regret it." ”
"How much they give you, we give you double!"
Before Tan Feihong, the envoy of the Chu State, could speak, a young subordinate official beside him immediately stepped forward and spoke eagerly.
"Zhang Yan, step down for me!"
Tan Feihong snorted, and the young subordinate officer immediately retreated.
Although the young subordinate officer retreated, his face showed an anxious look.
In the court of the Chu State, almost all the officials were the children of the big families.
Even if there are so many people from ordinary backgrounds, they must have served some family.
So, in a sense, in the matter of this glass statue, everyone is in competition.
Which family can make meritorious contributions depends on who can get this glass statue.
Qin Changfeng glanced at the young subordinate officer lightly, the double price of 100,000 taels, isn't it 200,000 taels?
A glass statue that costs only a few taels of silver sells for 200,000 taels?
Originally, when he quoted 100,000 taels of silver, he was thinking that when he was bargaining later, how much should he drop to find the bottom line of Tan Feihong, the envoy of Chu State, but now it seems that he has seriously misjudged!
Your Majesty said that the nobles of Chu State are rich, and sure enough, he is right!
"Lord Shangshu smiled." Tan Feihong arched his hand to Qin Changfeng and said: "This glass statue is very important to my Da Chu, and I also ask my lord to make it convenient, the price of 200,000 taels, I can still get it out after raising it, but I also ask Lord Shangshu to give a few days of grace and push the caravan away." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Qin Changfeng waved his hand and said: "You and I are both court officials, and we will have a lot of contacts in the future, just because we want to sell the noble envoy a favor, so let the noble envoy take a look, as for the Chu caravan, if there is no deposit and no paperwork, it is not a transaction, and the official can be pushed off with a word." ”
Tan Feihong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said to the old fox in his heart, and still said: "There is Master Lao, go back to raise money in the next step, and it will definitely be sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Commerce within three days." ”
After speaking, he had to say goodbye and take a few subordinate officials outside.
"Wait."
Qin Changfeng stopped them and said, "Your envoy, don't forget, I, Dacang, have already implemented a new policy, which explicitly prohibits the trading of silver tickets, and all goods must be bought and sold with Dacang coins." ”
"That'...... Redeem it in the next place? ”
"I have to remind you that my Dacang's new policy also stipulates that there are still five months before the deadline for the exchange of silver, and in these five months, the subjects of the Dacang Kingdom can only exchange once a month, and each person can only exchange a maximum of ten taels of silver each time, and the foreign caravan only has one chance to exchange, and it can only be exchanged for 10,000 taels each time."
"This ...... How this should be for the better! ”
Tan Feihong's face was a little ugly, and he was very anxious.
This set of rules is a bit twisty, but it is very clear.
Doesn't it mean that the Ministry of Commerce does not accept cash, and he can only exchange 10,000 taels of silver at most, which is to say 1 million yuan?
"Don't worry, you have a way." Qin Changfeng said.
"Please also ask Lord Shangshu to solve your doubts."
"Chu and Cang are both members of the trade alliance of the state, your envoy can sign the agreement first, and the official will give your country 200,000 taels of silver bills, and then use grain and other goods in the future to exchange for Dacang coins."
Bill?
Tan Feihong probably understood that the so-called bills, in the system of Dacang coins, are equivalent to silver bills in silver, which are a kind of officially guaranteed large banknotes, according to the current regulations of Cangguo, the maximum denomination of bills is one million Dacang coins.
In other words, he will get twenty bills with a face value of one million cangyuan to buy this glass statue.
As for how to get the bills, it is the method of credit.
In the future, use food and other materials to exchange for Dacang coins.
After understanding this layer, Tan Feihong was relieved.
So he hurriedly said goodbye and communicated with the officials of Chu State in the State Trade Alliance, and vouched for himself through this alliance.
……
Day 2.
"Thank you, my lord, this kindness will be remembered in my heart."
"Goodbye, envoy, congratulations in advance." Qin Changfeng smiled, sent the group out of the door, and said to the attendant who was carrying the glass box next to him: "A few of you have to be careful, it's not a matter of 200,000 taels of silver if you break it, it's a capital crime!" ”
Hearing this, the movements of several attendants slowed down a bit.
Obviously, dozens of catties of boxes, several people carried them, but one by one they seemed to be carrying a thousand catties, with fine sweat on their foreheads, cautious, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Seeing the group of people complaining far away, Qin Changfeng felt unprecedented happiness.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and Your Majesty's words are not wrong at all!
Look, where is this producing money, it is clearly white silver, and cute big cangcoins!
