Chapter 369: Captain of the Envoy (9)
He wasn't afraid of King Loulan, he was worried that he would not be able to control his limbs and make uncontrollable moves, if he lost someone, where would he put his old face? ?
The minister made excuses for his cowardice and cowardice, his heart was not good, and the third prince was even more uncomfortable.
King Loulan said mercilessly in front of a group of ministers and princes, he was in a very bad mood, according to his usual character, he would definitely return it with a tooth for a tooth, but the person he faced today was not a character he could offend, and he was angry, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!
Damn, if he hadn't ascended the throne and shouldn't have a hard fight with King Loulan, why should he be ridiculed in public by looking at people's faces? King Loulan, you wait for me, one day I will lead the captain to surpass Loulan, and at that time, I will let you see the demeanor of my third prince!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, the third prince smiled and played a round: "The Holy Lord has come from afar, I don't know what happened to the captain, I don't know what happened recently, I can't hide it, my father's body has had problems a month ago, and the recent illness has become more and more serious. In fact, before you came, my father insisted on waiting for you to come, but he didn't hold on, and he was helped back to the dormitory to rest, I know that you have a good relationship with your father, and the two sides have reached a trade cooperation in the exchange of letters, if you don't mind, you can talk to me in detail, what do you want, our captain will satisfy you! ”
The third prince lowered his posture and showed 100% sincerity, and made up his mind to sign a treaty with the king of Loulan.
What he needs to do most at the moment is this, to establish his prestige in front of his people, and with prestige, it will be more convenient for him to lead the captain.
The third prince was confident that he would take down the king of Loulan, he thought that as long as he lowered his posture, the king of Loulan would go down the ladder he gave, but he didn't expect the king of Loulan's thoughts, and ordinary people really couldn't guess it.
The violent monarch sitting in the VIP seat leaned back on the soft chair, his strong arms gently hugged the beautiful queen at his side, and his free right hand stroked her soft hair, and his expression looked a little careless.
Listening to the third prince's flattering words, King Loulan's expression was very flat from beginning to end, so flat that he didn't seem to hear his words.
Although they don't know the character of King Loulan, they have more or less heard rumors about him, a violent king like him, his joy and anger have always been invisible, and it is difficult to guess his mind!
Everyone in the audience was silent, quietly waiting for King Loulan's answer, and in the corner where everyone couldn't see, the third prince was slightly nervous and held the armrests on both sides of his side, both expectant and afraid.
It seemed that a century had passed, and under the expectation of everyone, King Loulan's deep voice finally sounded: "The trade between the two countries has been negotiated with King Yutou as early as before the head of the lonely captain, and the purpose of the trip is also for this matter, since the king of the head of the country is unwell and inconvenient to come forward, it is not impossible to negotiate with you." ”
Hearing that King Loulan was relieved, the three princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense hearts fell to the ground.
The corners of the third prince's mouth gradually turned upward, outlining a pleasant arc.
Picked up the wine bottle on the table and toasted to the king of Loulan, he smiled and said: "The cooperation between Weitou and Loulan is like two powerful countries joining forces to further promote our economic development, and when the contract is signed, the crops sent to Loulan by Weitou will be cheaper than other places in the future, and Loulan's side, the silk exported to our country will also be reduced by two percent of the cost as agreed, come on, quickly submit the contract!" ”
The third prince wishfully negotiated the conditions, and ordered the guards to take out the contract that had been prepared for a long time to show the king of Loulan, he wanted to ask for credit in front of everyone, but he didn't expect it to become a joke in the end!
Aji, who followed the head of the envoy of the king of Loulan, stepped forward to take it, hunched over and handed it over to the king of Loulan, and while he was browsing, the third prince gave a look to the guard beside him, suggesting that he should hurry up and prepare pen and ink.
"Wait."
The guard followed his instructions and thought about it, and heard the voice of King Loulan coming again: "There is nothing wrong with the contract, but there is a little bit of loneliness above that it should be changed." ”
Knowing that King Loulan was not so easy to agree, the third prince was already mentally prepared, and asked confidently: "Which one does the Holy Lord want to change?" ”
Playing with the hair on Yisha's chest, King Loulan said slowly: "According to the provisions of the contract, the price of the goods exported to each other by Loulan and Weitou is lower than that of other countries, but looking at the countries of the Western Regions, crops abound, not only you, in addition to you, Loulan has more choices, but silk, but only this Loulan family, as the largest country in mass production in the Western Regions, the value of silk is much higher than that of crops, and comparing silk with inferior food is detrimental to its own value." ”
Comprehending the meaning of his words, the third prince continued to ask, "What do you mean............"
"Change the first clause of the contract, the crops exported to Loulan by Weitou should be reduced by 30%, and the silk of Loulan should be reduced by 10% to Weitou."
"Why do you have to be thirty percent less than the captain, and you are only one percent less?!" The unfair conditions aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, "The so-called contract is signed voluntarily by both parties, and the content must be fair and just!" ”
"You want to be fair and just?" Sharp eyes swept around everyone, and King Loulan sneered: "If the captain is unwilling to accept it, he can find a suitable strategic partner." ”
He is the king of a country, but also a businessman, when reaching a treaty between countries, he must seek more benefits for Loulan, if the captain can't give the corresponding benefits, the king of Loulan has to reconsider cooperating with other countries.
His words hit the nail on the head of the lieutenant, and they didn't want to cooperate with Loulan either, because dealing with King Loulan not only didn't end up, but they would suffer, but judging from the current situation, they couldn't afford to hesitate.
Originally, the countries rich in silk in the Western Regions were not only Loulan, but the productivity of the powerful Persia was far above Loulan, but since the defeat of Persia to Loulan, it was difficult enough to deal with the war, not to mention the export of trade, half a month ago, Persia stopped exporting silk to various countries, and various countries entered a state of crisis, before everyone, King Weitou took the lead in proposing trade, no matter how much King Loulan asked, the third prince must complete this transaction!
Suppressing the taste of heartache, the third prince reluctantly parted his love and said, "Okay, the captain can agree to your request." ”
"Your Highness, think twice!"
His compromise caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, who did not want the captain to easily compromise and agree to the excessive demands of the king of Loulan.
With the first time, it means that there is a second time, the king of Loulan made it clear that he was robbing while the fire was burning, and if they knew that the other party did it deliberately and agreed, wouldn't they become fools in everyone's mouth?
