Siam in 1643 was at the end of the reign of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and during this period, Siam was no longer strong in Indochina and was often invaded by Burma.

It was under these circumstances that the royal family of Ayutthaya still had its own exclusive trading fleet, selling some of its native products to neighboring countries.

Therefore, the Dacheng Dynasty was a dynasty that attached great importance to commerce, and naturally had its own ideas about raising grain prices.

Those in charge of trade were the spokesmen of the royal family, and many of them were even children of the royal family.

If Australia wants to successfully transport grain in, it will definitely be rejected by the authorities, a feudal dynasty will not tell you any trade agreements, and their king is the supreme law.

Therefore, Zhao Shijie ordered people to secretly transport grain into the capital of the Dacheng Dynasty, and then sell it at a price that was half lower than the market price, which made those merchants panic.

This strategy is actually not too high, and as long as the other party reacts quickly enough, it can be cracked quickly, but Zhao Shijie is playing fast and fast, and uses mobile combat to sell it.

Because of the increase in the price of Australian grain exports, the price of grain in Siam has naturally risen, although it is much cheaper than exports, but it still makes many people sigh and sigh that the price of grain is too high.

In addition to the constant war against Burma, the tax burden imposed by the government is too high, and the people are already very overwhelmed.

At this time, some merchants dressed as locals with burdens on their backs appeared, and the rice they sold was actually half cheaper, although the taste was somewhat different from that of the local products, but at least they could eat it.

Almost all of the people Zhao Shijie was looking for were native Siamese, and his purpose was to make it difficult for people to be suspicious, and he targeted local farmers.

A total of more than 50 merchants were found, and the amount distributed to them every day was uniform, and they were not sold out on the same day. And the places to go are different every day.

The purpose of this is to confuse the merchants who control the price of food and make them think that there are pickers everywhere.

This situation lasted for a week, and the rice shops in the city seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and began to lower their prices one after another, but they still did not buy, and now everyone is buying food from the pickers.

For the first time, the grain merchants of Dacheng felt the crisis, and these pickers who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wandering through the streets and alleys, scurrying around.

They have no whereabouts, no one knows them, only that they are supposed to be Siamese as well.

Now that someone is starting to pay attention. Zhao Shijie's plan to pick up goods naturally cannot be used.

It was time for them to go out and talk to several local grain monopoly merchants through the trading post set up in Siam.

A representative sent by the other party named Sahara, who is said to have royal blood and is only a distant relative, but because of his outstanding ability, he is in charge of managing the royal family's trade.

"Mr. Sahara, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zhao Shijie, Minister of Foreign Trade of the Republic of Australia."

Zhao Shijie stretched out his hand and greeted the other party in a friendly manner.

Yes, the other party. Just a thanks, nodded and said, and didn't open his mouth, which didn't seem very friendly.

I think Mr. Sahara should know about Dacheng's pickers these days, and I won't hide it from you. These people were sent by us in Australia, and we have already shipped tons of food, and if you don't believe us, we can continue to let the pickers sell it in the city.

Zhao Shijie squinted his eyes and looked at each other with an evil smile, while Sahara's brows were visibly furrowed. There seems to be some displeasure. Then he said a few words.

I knew through the translator that the other party said that you would never be able to bring it in. He would have the king order a strict inspection of every ship entering the port.

"Hehe, yes, if we don't enter from the port, how can you check," Zhao Shijie asked with a smile.

Sahara obviously didn't expect the other party to do this, although it would be a little troublesome not to enter through the port, but it was really impossible to find out.

Cunning Australians, what a shame, why do they come to Siam to buy when they have so much food, are they full of food to support.

However, how did he know that Australia has actually entered a very short of grain, and if the grain price of Siam cannot be suppressed, the price of grain in Australia will definitely double.

"I think we can cooperate, and there is no need to negotiate in this way, according to the original purchase price, we will buy it at a price of five cents per catty of grain, I don't know what Mr. Sahara wants."

This price is one of the final acceptable prices in Australia and is based on the Siamese market price.

If the other side cannot accept it, then Australia can only negotiate with the other side and fail.

Sahara was still hesitating, he didn't know why the Australians were buying Siamese grain, and why they were buying it when they had their own food.

But there must be something wrong with this, and Australians would never be so stupid.

"The other party does not accept this price, and I hope you can tell him why he came to buy Siamese grain, since Australia has enough food itself." The translator gave Zhao Shijie the original translation of the words.

You tell him that it's because the price of food in Australia is too high, even if it is shipped back from Siam, it is cheaper than domestic production, but if it is the current price, then Australia can only use locally produced food, and the most important thing is that they will spoil sooner or later if they leave so much food in their hands, and if there is no big customer in Australia, I am afraid that no one will be able to eat it at all.

What Zhao Shijie said is true, Sahara they are holding the element of gambling in it, if the Australians agree to their price, they can make a lot of money, and most importantly, they sell ordinary grain to a high price, which is definitely a legend.

It's just that now Australians actually say that they don't want it, and if this price goes down, they will lose money in their own hands, so they can't hold on for long.

In addition, now that Australians are deliberately flooding, the price has obviously loosened, and there are already different voices within the United Rice Merchants.

If the price continues to fall, the grain they bought at a high price will be smashed in their hands, which is a lot of money, and no one wants to see the money in their hands disappear suddenly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sahara decided to agree to the Australians' conditions and increase the original price by five cents, at least they would not lose money on this price, and the Australians would not lose their food and let the price of food suddenly plummet and fall into a desperate situation.
