0150 Li Guang's Shock (10th Update)
In the waters near Tamna Island, Li Guang, who was invited, rushed here on his own merchant ship.
Looking at the fleet of more than a dozen ships in front of him, Li Guang felt both shocked and excited.
What shocked me was that the strength of the other party was too strong, and the largest ship was about fifteen zhang by sight, and there were only a handful of such large ships in Baekje.
There are also two ships of about ten zhang, four of which are five or six zhang, and the rest are basically about three or four zhang.
Such a fleet is not to mention a sea merchant, even the main warship of the naval division stationed in Baekje near the left is not so large.
The family owned five merchant ships less than four zhang long, and they were among the top merchants in Baekje.
By comparison, you can know how strong the strength of this Tang sea merchant is, and how can he not be shocked.
His excitement is also that the other party is strong enough.
Grain outflow is prohibited in any country, and people who are not strong enough are not qualified to engage in large-scale grain trades.
Although he didn't know about the situation in Tang Kingdom, he would not be an exception.
The other party has such a large-scale caravan, and he must be one of the best people in the Tang Kingdom, and he has the ability to do grain business.
While he was thinking, a clipper broke away from the opposite fleet and made its way to his merchant ship.
"Dare to ask, but shopkeeper Li?"
Li Guang came to the deck and looked at the boat, and found a familiar figure: "Brother Liang, I'm here, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
When Liang Xian saw that it was indeed him, he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." My big shopkeeper invites you to see it on the boat, I don't know if Shopkeeper Li is willing to enjoy the light? ”
Li Guang said without hesitation: "I can't ask for it." ”
Then they brought him a soft ladder and put him on the boat.
Liang Xian is one of He Fang's more important subordinates, and he was present in the two previous transactions with Li Guang, and he also talked a few words and was familiar with him.
The sailor selected people to come over to help Jin Rushan's caravan, and he was also seconded.
As soon as he got on the boat, Li Guang began to get close to Liang Xiantao, and secretly stuffed money bags into his sleeves.
Liang Xian secretly pushed the money bag back and shook his head firmly at him.
Li Guang saw that he really didn't accept it and didn't dare to force it, so he took the money back, and glanced at Liang Xian in his heart.
At the same time, he was a little more grateful, because there was still a boatman on the boat, and Liang Xian secretly refused him not to poke the matter out, saving him face.
"Dare to ask Brother Liang, your family's shopkeeper's surname, can you tell me conveniently?"
"My family's big shopkeeper's surname is Jin."
Liang Xian replied casually: "Let me tell you this, the head of my family wants to find a trustworthy person to cooperate in business in Baekje, and the previous two transactions are a test for you." ”
"You have passed the test, and the head of the house will send the chief treasurer to negotiate. If we can negotiate properly, we will be partners in the future......"
Li Guang couldn't help but get excited, it wasn't that he didn't have enough city government, it was that the situation he was facing was too dangerous, and the strength of the other party also made him feel awe from the bottom of his heart.
Now that I have heard so much good news, I can't contain my excitement.
"Brother Xie Liang reminds." Li Guang saluted sincerely, and then said worriedly: "If you tell me this, will you be blamed by the big shopkeeper?" ”
Liang Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am the head of the family...... Ahem, I don't directly belong to the management of the big treasurer, I just protect his safety. ”
Li Guang's heart moved, what is the head of the family? Relatives? Cronies? Guards? It's all possible.
And Liang Xian is not very in awe of the big shopkeeper, it can be seen that his status is not low, but he must be wooed well.
So the smile on his face became more sincere: "Then I will rest assured, Brother Xie Liang reminded me that I will be rewarded in the future after I have written down this kindness." ”
Liang Xian just smiled and didn't answer, just sing in place, and singing too much is easy to have problems.
As he spoke, the boat had already come to the side of the big ship, and when he was close by, he felt that the big ship was huge, and he felt more and more small.
Climbing up the soft ladder to the boat, the first thing I saw was the sturdy men who kept coming and going, each of them with muscles and murderous eyes.
Just one glance at Li Guang could tell that these were people who had seen blood, and they were the kind of people who had seen a lot of blood.
His heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his excitement suddenly calmed down.
The identity of the other party is more complicated than he imagined, but he also knows that he has no choice.
In this turbulent era, no force was willing to sell grain on a large scale, which is why the chief governor forced him.
His only chance of survival was to grasp at this straw.
He took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions before following Liang Xian into a cabin.
To his surprise, the furnishings in this room were very plain, and there were hardly any fine decorations to be seen.
But immediately he overturned his idea, this room is not only simple but also very luxurious, but it is luxurious and low-key.
The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which was evidently emanating from these strange tables and chairs.
In other words, these tables and chairs are all made of sandalwood.
On the shelves on either side are several porcelain jars, the key to which are all white or white with blue and white ......
He was sure he had never seen such beautiful porcelain.
But what he couldn't take his eyes off more than porcelain was the tea set on the table, all made of crystal clear glass.
And the golden shopkeeper entertained him with these glazed tea sets, as if they were ordinary utensils worthless.
Regardless of whether the other party pretended to be or really didn't care, this kind of arrogance convinced him.
You know, any one of these glazed tea sets is priceless, and there are ten teapots here alone, and there is a larger teapot.
The things in this house are worth more than his Li family combined.
He looked up again at the forces behind the golden shopkeeper......
To be precise, he no longer knew how to speculate on the other party's strength, because even the Baekje royal family did not have such luxury.
Jin Rushan saw all the changes in Li Guang's expression and was very satisfied with this effect.
Some of this is deliberately created by him, just to deter the other party from the beginning and create favorable conditions for the next negotiation.
"Shopkeeper Jin, I heard you're looking for us?"
Li Guang knew that he had no bargaining chips, so he simply and decisively admitted:
"Yes, but it's not me looking for you, it's the chief of my city's department looking for you, and he wants to buy more food from you."
Jin Rushan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this matter actually involved the high-level of Baekje, but he said quietly on his face:
"Oh? I see, I thought it was because you wanted to establish a relationship with us, it turned out to be doing things for others, and it seems that I have to reconsider the matter of cooperation. ”
Li Guang knew that the other party was deliberately pinching himself, so he still had to say: "No, no, no, in fact, I have always wanted to cooperate with you, but I ......"
"Knock Knock Knock !!" At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly remembered outside the boat.
Li Guang was very puzzled and didn't know what was going on, Jin Rushan's face instantly became gloomy, and he looked at him sharply and said, "This is an alarm, there is an enemy attack." ”
