Chapter 102: Commerce

No matter how careful Xia Feng was, how could he hide it from Lady Purple Feather's ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After Ms. Ziyu came back to her senses, she also noticed that it was already dinner at this time, and apologized to Jiao Ming.

"When you think about my plan and forget about it, that's the most important thing to me. Jiao Ming smiled.

"Mr. Jiao Ming is so talented, I think it's the old woman who has no eyes these days. ”

Jiao Ming was modest on the surface, but in his heart he secretly thought: I may not be able to answer these things if you asked me earlier.

Ms. Ziyu praised a few more words, and then asked, "Then I'll ask Mr. Jiao Ming for some more advice." ”

When Jiao Ming heard those praises, he guessed that there must be a pit in the back, and at this time, people politely said it, and he had no choice but to jump down. "I'm going to do my best. ”

"In the afternoon, the secret envoy of the Xuqin people came. ”

Jiao Ming said secretly, it was really a big deal, I thought that the departure of Binglian before I came was also because of this, and even that magic fluctuation must have been caused by the high-ring magician of the Xu Qin people, and the crocodile collar couldn't even find a four-ring qi magician.

In the following time, Ms. Ziyu told the general story of the matter, which was nothing more than the intention of the Xu Qin people to bring peace talks, and the crocodile leader was surprised and was discussing how to respond, after all, this was the first time that she had encountered a situation in more than a hundred years.

As soon as he said this, Xia Feng came back with a dinner for five, the food was as simple as ever, sorghum rice, vegetable soup, a small amount of meat, and it is worth mentioning that there were actually salted duck eggs. Everyone quickly finished eating, it was already dark and they could only see the silhouette of the person, Xia Feng and Luohua cleaned up the table, took the tableware out, and returned to the room to wait. Jiao Ming was waiting to assign a room for himself to sleep, but he didn't want Bing Lian to find a magic lamp out of nowhere, and the light of the magic lamp that had not been seen for a long time illuminated the room.

In the bright light, Jiao Ming noticed that this was not the old lamp in the castle, not to mention the smooth and new surface, and the shape was also quite beautiful.

Seeing Jiao Ming's curious look, Binglian explained with a wry smile: "Xu Qinren's meeting gift. ”

"Why don't you like it?" Jiao Ming was surprised by Binglian's tone and expression.

"When the envoy gave out these gadgets in the afternoon, several elders had similar expressions to you, and the envoy was very satisfied with this. ”

"This ......" Jiao Ming didn't know what to say, imagining that if his parents were amazed at a novel electronic product, and this picture of having never seen the world was exposed to outsiders, he would be embarrassed to death.

Lady Purple Feather coughed lightly, interrupting the somewhat embarrassing topic, apparently she was one of those elders. "I don't know what Mr. thinks about the Xu Qin people's attitude towards peace talks. ”

"I'm sorry. Jiao Ming opened his mouth carefully, at least leaving a way back for himself: "I know too little information, I'm afraid I can't give any valuable advice." However, our construction plan needs a peaceful external environment, and we hope that you can take this into account when weighing the pros and cons. ”

"Then let me ask you a specific one, the terms of the peace talks of the Xuqin people include trade, and whether Mr. thinks trade is feasible. ”

Jiao Ming was a little blind, and wanted to ask if there was any useful memory for a certain system, especially for history lessons or economics, but even if there was, it would take time to watch, and it was far from quenching his thirst. "Sardinia City has always been open to trade, so it doesn't matter if you have one more channel. ”

"As a peninsula, the land entrance to the peninsula is completely controlled by the Xuqin people, and the trade routes are completely blocked. Binglian interjected and explained, obviously not wanting Jiao Ming to show cowardice and lose points in front of his mother. "Many commodities are more convenient to transport by land, especially live animals such as chickens, ducks, and cows. If you open a trade route to the southern part of the peninsula, the price is half as cheap as if it were sea freight. ”

Only then did Jiao Ming realize that the living creatures in the castle were strictly imported products by sea, but he also figured out the joints in his mind. Ordinary peasants would not raise cattle, chickens and ducks due to tax problems, and the lords naturally handed over the chores such as raising to the coolies, and a few of the coolies were as dedicated as the old menban, and the magic warriors could eat one by one, and they were not good at management, so they could eat when they wanted. It is difficult for these domestic livestock to breed and expand, so they can only rely on sea transportation to replenish them.

"It's an economic blockade, why don't you seem to care at all. ”

"Whether the lockdown is blocked or not is just a matter of eating a few bites of meat. "Binglian hit the nail on the head

Jiao Ming secretly sighed in his heart about the self-sufficiency attribute of the agricultural society, presumably the Qingming and Qing dynasties were all in this mentality. "Then this trade is completely a good thing, the two of you are so hesitant, but what else is there to hide?"

"When it comes to trade, I always feel that there are some problems, but I can't find any mistakes or omissions, and I feel very depressed. Lady Purple Feather said with a frown. Binglian also frowned, but she couldn't say why, and the frowning brows of the mother and daughter were simply poured out of a mold.

Jiao Ming remembered that when he was forced to open the country at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the main commodity was opium, so he asked, "What commodities did the Xuqin people provide?"

Lady Purple Feather pointed to the magic lamp: "It's all gadgets like this, as well as some beautiful dresses and carpets, and people have also inquired about our purchase of magic addiction potions, and vigorously promoted their magic addiction potions." ”

"Sure enough, it's a lot of luxury. Jiao Ming found the problem.

"What do you mean by luxury?" Binglian asked, how much of an assist.

"Something that makes people think you're awesome, but you're not actually awesome. Given Jiao Ming's level of crocodile lingling, this can only be defined.

"Isn't it just useless?" said Lady Purple Feather.

"The problem is that it's hard to know yourself, and most people judge their position and ability by the words and deeds of others, so it's quite cost-effective to show off luxury. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and explained as if complimentary, and this was actually Uncle Jiao Ming's view of luxury.

The other people seemed to understand it, and wanted to ask again, but the door was slammed open, and a small figure stood outside the door, holding his hands flat, it was the shining scales.

The little guy was obviously angry, but his face was immediately covered with a layer of consternation, obviously he didn't expect that there were so many people in the room, and after seeing Ms. Ziyu's somewhat blamed gaze, there was another layer of crying on top of the consternation. Then another small figure squeezed up, and asked strangely why Shining Scale blocked the door and didn't enter, it was Lilmele, and then the girl froze there at a loss.

At this time, the mood of the two is probably similar to kicking open the classroom door, only to find that not only the head teacher is inside, but also the principal is inside, and they are all staring at their bear children.

Xiao Shi's little head poked out from the side, and after seeing Jiao Ming's figure, there was no one else in her eyes, she rushed into the room and rushed into Jiao Ming's arms, strangled Jiao Ming's waist with her thin arms, and buried her head in her chest and rubbed it around.
