He sighed helplessly, and then turned his head and asked Elena, who now existed like a secretary-

"How far are the merchant group's ships from landing?"

"Uh-oh...... Let me see...... It has been out of the windless zone and can be reached in five days. The letter I received yesterday said that if you consider the travel time, you can arrive today and tomorrow. ”

"So what about the meeting...... I remember going to meet the big businessmen from the country of Yamaun, right? ”

"Yes, dear Superintendent."

“…… At this stage, the main contradiction between you and me is the contradiction between your growing demand for commodities and our material needs......" Eufee Mondrich inadvertently took out the "heartfelt words" of his negotiator and read it again.

In order to collect all kinds of raw materials needed for the magic gun, he has already used various methods. In order to get more ordinary-textured wands (short) from Shanyun Country, the origin of magic wood, the commander of the First Army has already resorted to bartering with the high-level behind his back.

The merchant sent by the country to negotiate was Passanio, who was most familiar with the country and the Biyue navy and the shipping fleet. The fleet heading to the country of Shanyun, under the instruction of Ofer Mondridge and the captain of the ship, who was also bribed by him, used three unbroken crystal bottles to buy the Chamber of Commerce of the country of Shanyun...... The latter quickly responded to the former's suggestion, hurriedly took out all the inventory that could meet the requirements, and returned to Elta with the merchant ship.

But for the duo of the Commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, nothing is more important than inspecting the army outside the city. From the perspective of the Republic of China, this infantry gun team, which has expanded to more than 2,000 people, is worthy of the title of "the descendant of the lineage".

I got up early in the morning every day to go out of the city to watch the training, and had breakfast with the soldiers...... From here it seemed that Eufe Mondridge would be able to lift his heavy burden and watch his hopes thrive.

The pressure of almost half of the government made him miserable, but fortunately, Elena also served as a cronie of the bag, otherwise the director would really die of suffering.

For example, in the case of the rebellion of the "Elta Volunteers", he racked his brains to consider countless options other than the "friendly proposals" of the emissary of Cielta, but the facts before him did not allow the status quo to deviate even one step from the arrangements of the Sielta side. For Eufael Mondrich, who likes to control the whole situation by nature, this is undoubtedly the greatest torture.

The advice given to him by the other party, which can also be said to be the attitude that the "Elta Volunteers" will have, is to "negotiate fairly, each according to his needs", and more specifically, let Ouffel Mondrich use the counterinsurgency reason to transfer the army and then not make hostile acts against the Volunteers, provide food, and the other party will exchange magic powder for ......

A good one to seek skin with the tiger. However, the tone of the other party in front of the light did not allow him.

Obviously you can use the giant bird to transport weapons, why not use the steel giant bird to burn all the fields? Although I know that I am only useful now, as a pawn, I always have the nature to want to get out of control...... What's more, this chess piece is not the material of the chess piece at all, it is very unruly?

"It's the first time I've seen this Erta," said Passanio, who had unbuttoned his shirt and sat lazily in the shade at the door of his apartment. "I thought it would be cooler, but I didn't expect it to be as hot as our country."

The big-bellied merchant whined in a muddy accent. If the accents of Lancas and the eastern Elta are not very different - not much different from the western part of Elta, at most from the perspective of the Chinese are the difference within the province, then the words spoken by these guys in robes and pan-hats in the country of Shan Yun sound like the difference between southerners and northerners.

Although the person who had agreed to negotiate with him had not arrived for a long time, the man who was holding the swimming ring in front of his abdomen was still unhurried. This is probably also the credit of the glass bottle of soda next to him, you must know that after this thing is sent back to the rear of the Bimoon Church, it will be at least the rank of the archbishop and above...... And the businessman who got into the eye of the money knew how much this bubbling bottle of juice -- not just a cold crappy frozen mouth thing -- was worth as much as its packaging.

The sound of the wheels hitting the road was getting closer, and Passaño still didn't have the slightest intention of standing up. When he saw the neatly dressed, not glamorous but dignified man, walking down from the carriage holding on to the handle, he pretended to be surprised and out of shape, and hurriedly fastened the buttons.

"Elta's summer is very hot, so you don't need to tie it, that's it." Offe Mondridge apologized as he took Passanio's hand. "The military affairs are busy, and I am not welcome...... Please don't mind. ”

"Hey, we fools who want to embed ourselves in money, it's good to have money to make! It's the first time I've met, so it doesn't matter if I'm waiting for a few minutes......"

That being said, the time after the ship arrived at Hilzi was not counted for the time being, and the time that the big fat man had been waiting for his business partner who had missed his appointment here was enough time for the minute hand to go around in a circle and a half.

"Come, let's go into the house and talk about it. Offe Mondridge put one hand on Passaño's shoulder and waved his hand. In front of the carriage behind, Elena, who understood her heart, nodded slightly, and then began to instruct the servants to move the frames and baskets one by one into the courtyard......

After a while, Passaño, who felt a little unhappy in his heart, threw that little emotion out of the clouds......

The baskets, frames, and boxes in front of him unfolded in front of him one by one. The goods inside can be exquisite, ingenious, or bejeweled, and so on.

small crystal beads embedded with ribbons - in fact, glass beads on checkers; Wine in a crystal coffin - cheap domestic wine in transparent packaging (without labels), and the packaging is plexiglass. I'm sure no one wants to break the box for enjoying the wine, oh, and the clear jasper bottle inside...... Passanio thought.

The women's gown, which is as light as air, covers the whole body, but is lighter than newly-made pants in the hand. If this thing is sold to princes and nobles who have special interests, it will definitely sell for a good price.

Unbroken crystal bottles, snow-white square paper, carved crystal hard plates, more hollow but still strong, just unopened swords, each of which made Passanio full of praise.

All the goods on the four wagons brought by Offe Mondridge were exchanged for the raw materials of the magic wood that Passanio had brought with him. And these rare luxuries are all from the "sincerity" brought by the last wave of caravans. Of course, he will not take it all out and transfer all the "sincerity" to Passanio, which is only a fifth at best.

"How?" Offy Mondrich now took on the attitude of "these are my unique goods", and triumphantly asked Passaño, who was stroking the goblet, what he thought of it, and whether he was satisfied with the goods.

"Oh no, thank you! I have to say it's a great deal ...... good value for money," Passanio has entered a state of "money spitting the truth." You must know how much effort and commitment he made to get through the "restricted goods" needed by the Bimonthly Church in China in order to deliver the "restricted goods" needed by the Bimonthly Church in advance. The Chamber of Commerce, large and small, has turned the effort into pressure on him as an external window, hoping that his judgment this time will bring enough - at least to offset the negative effects of the return. After all, businessmen can't afford to be early.

But now, a pearl necklace in front of him can seal the mouth of any minister, and this shipload of goods will make the ladies and ladies crush his threshold! Thinking of the gold and silver coins drowning him like a flood and rolling in the rolling tide, Passanio was almost on the verge of ascending to heaven. In his eyes, the gold coins seemed to be pouring out of the goblet. This cup is dedicated to the King of Shanyun, at least he can be mixed with an earl, and make a fief that is not big or small!

"Wipe your saliva." Offet Mondridge was also very pleased with his reaction. In this batch of "sincerity", the best ones have been taken to continue to "honor" back to Lancas, but the pile in his hand is something he seems relatively inconspicuous. For example, the sari was not solemn at all, and even a little funny...... Although I have heard that some of the gods of the world are also a bit of a "widow's disease" and may like these kinds of things, but like the two-headed joy stick that is also given to Passanio, this kind of thing has gone beyond the category of underwear and swimsuits, and has a tendency to go away from the "great disrespect", and he would not dare to offer these things even if Ouffer Mondrich was eighteen heads. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reverie.

In a moment's pause, Passaño had already opened the lid of the small wooden box. It was neatly stuffed with crushed ice and twelve bottles of orange soda that Passanio had just drunk.

"Wow, a whole twelve bottles. Superintendent, thanks to me, I have a magician. Passanio excitedly touched the metal cap of the soda with his hand and whistled. Eh, what about the little iron plate that opened the lid for this thing? ”

"Tied to a bottle, one bottle for another...... You don't move, you can't see it now. Offe Mondridge saw that he should be calculating the price of the foolish, and smiled in his heart.

As long as the plan is successfully implemented, then except for the elite mage group, which is a major point that he dare not move, the share of magic powder saved by any wargroup is enough for him to fill the cabins of several caravans with grape-flavored, orange-flavored, and apple-flavored ones...... There are also all kinds of wonderful soda bottle holders, which will be available from the Archbishop's to the Bishop's drink, and maybe you can buy Passanio with a case now, which is the perfect fit......

Passanio didn't know anything about what was going on behind these things, and he didn't even think about how much Eufe Mondridge was worth in return - if you were to describe it objectively, these things were even less worth it than buying magic powder at the monopoly price of the Bimonthly Church...... It's just that its value outside of Elta will suddenly skyrocket.
