Chapter 235: Negotiation
Rottlett invited Lin Ruhai to have lunch in his palace, the dishes were all unique to Luzon, the rice used in it was very broken, and the grains were not full.
When the meal was over, the utensils were removed and the servants served the teacups. Lin Ruhai put down the tea bowl after taking two sips of tea, and said to Rotlett: "The food in Luzon is very delicious, and it is the first time I have tasted such a unique dish. It's just that...... Hehe! ”
"If the Lord of Lin Island thinks something is wrong, you can say it directly, and I will let them improve your opinions!" After half a day of contact, Rottlett has regarded Lin Ruhai as a friend, and his speech is naturally not so angry.
"Nothing, just innocuous flaws!"
"Alas! Say whatever you want! We're already friends, there's nothing to scrum about! ”
"It's not a big deal! However, I think the quality of Luzon rice is really unsatisfactory. ”
After hearing this, Rotlett lowered his head and sighed: "I also know that the quality of rice produced in Luzon is very poor, but we don't have any good solutions!" ”
"Actually, it's not that difficult to grow good rice!"
"Oh! Is there any good way to do this? Rottlett asked.
Lin Ruhai didn't answer, picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea slowly. Seeing Lin Ruhai's leisurely appearance, Rottlett was anxious, and just wanted to ask again, the great elder on the side spoke first: "If the Lord of Lin Island has a way to grow good rice, we are willing to trade with the Lord of Lin Island." The owner of Lin Island said a price! ”
After listening to the Great Elder's words, Rotlett reacted, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! We buy, we pay for silver, and we can do it for gold! ”
Lin Ruhai put down the tea bowl unhurriedly, looked at Rotlett with a smile and said, "I came this time to propose to the chief to buy the mountain forest in the north of Luzon. ”
The Great Elder's eyes flashed and said, "What is Lin Dao going to do when he buys that mountain forest?" It's full of mountains and dense forests, there are no people, and there are often pirates near the sea, so it's not a good place! ”
Lin Ruhai glanced at the Great Elder and said: "In Daming, people especially like to use rosewood and huanghuali wood to make furniture, but although Daming has a vast area, there are very few red sandalwood and huanghuali, so the price of these two kinds of wood is very high, and the high mountains in the north of Luzon are densely covered with red sandalwood and huanghuali trees, so ...... Of course, in business, you can also put forward your conditions! ”
The Grand Elder and Rottlett looked at each other, and both fell silent and began to think. It is impossible not to be impressed, and as the chief of Luzon, Rotlett naturally wants to have his people fed, and they, the nobles of Luzon, can also enjoy better rice. But selling such a large piece of mountains and forests to Lin Ruhai is indeed reluctant.
The Great Elder thought deeper, it would definitely not work to change such a large mountain forest for a single recipe for planting good rice. Lin Ruhai clearly said that he took a fancy to the precious wood on the mountain, and they didn't know how much the wood was worth, but with Lin Ruhai's intention to take down an entire piece of mountain forest with a big deal, I am afraid it would be worth a lot of money. Lin Ruhai came in person, just for that mountain forest, which means that the mountain forest is very important to Lin Ruhai. The Great Elder had a plan in his heart, and whispered a few words in Rotlett's ear, Rotlett frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Lord Lin Island, selling such a large piece of mountains and forests is also a big loss for us Luzon! Although there is no one there, it is not the territory of Luzon, and after this is sold to the lord of Lindao, our territory is much less! The Great Elder spoke
"I also know what the Great Elder means, but that mountain forest has no usable value to you, even if it is owned by Luzon, it is not much different from the Borderland!"
"We can also transport that timber to Daming to sell!"
"The Great Elder also said just now, pirates are rampant in that area, and we in Linjia Island are not afraid of pirates, but I don't know if you are afraid!" Lin Ruhai said with a meaningful smile.
Rottlett and the Grand Elder were silent, no one was afraid of pirates, and most of the reason why there was no one living north of Luzon was because they were afraid of pirate attacks. Those pirates burned, killed, looted, and came and went without a trace, and they were no match for those pirates at all.
Rottlett let out a long sigh and said, "Lord Lin, are you sure that the method we have given us can really grow good rice?" ”
"Of course, I have successfully increased the rice yield by 30% with this method, and the rice produced is crystal full and the cooked rice has a fragrant taste and a strong taste." Lin Ruhai gave the old shadow a look, and the old shadow took out a few pieces of paper from the placket on his chest and handed one of them to Rotlet.
Rottlett looked at what was written on the paper, and the Grand Elder leaned his head over to read it with him.
"That's only a part of the paper, and if the chief agrees to the deal, I'll give you the rest." Lin Ruhai Road.
Rottlett and the Great Elder exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then Rottlett spoke, "Good! I agree to the deal! But I can only sell you the right to use that mountain forest for fifty years! ”
Lin Ruhai smiled without saying a word, giving the old shadow a look. The old shadow poured out the tea from the tea bowl, poured another bowl of water into it from the water bladder around his waist, then took some powder from a small purse and sprinkled it into the tea bowl, walked up to Rottlett and the Great Elder, handed them the tea bowl, and saw the two of them stunned without surprise.
"This, this, this...... Is this a trick? The Great Elder asked.
"You two can touch it with your hands!" Lin Ruhai smiled.
Hearing this, the two of them reached out to touch it at the same time, and at the same time they were retracted by the cold and exciting hand.
"This ...... This...... Could it be that only the ice and snow in the north can't be made? Rottlett asked.
"It's ice, not snow! With this ice, put some in the chief's palace and it will be cool and pleasant! The chief thinks that with this ice-making recipe, can he buy the ownership of the mountain forest? ”
Rottlett and the Great Elder said in unison, "Yes, yes!" Absolutely! There was no trace of hesitation in the eyes of the two people, a dispensable mountain forest, in exchange for such a practical recipe, a fool would not change it.
