0194 Patrol: Forming Alliances (2nd Update)
If you can't sell it to others, you will be willing to sell it to me?
Why?
Wen Yi himself knew the answer, and the good reputation finally worked.
Since he came to Jin'an County, he has been promoting the Han slang to treat everyone equally, never bullying and plundering them, and providing a reliable trading market for everyone......
The best effect is still the "Epidemic Prevention Manual", which can be said to be a living person...... Among the slang, his invisibility reputation is very high.
Otherwise, this slang chief would not have come to Jin'an County to trade in person, and would have come over to form an alliance with him.
But Wen Yi was not satisfied with Xian Hui's conditions: "Although Gao Liang Xian is the chief of the Slang People's Congress, not all Slang people belong to you. ”
"It seems that the slang people in Jin'an County have been separated from the Xian clan for decades, and your so-called selling them to me is completely out of generosity to others."
Xian Hui said: "But my Xian clan is still their leader, with my order you can justifiably obtain their ownership, and no slang people in the world will hate you because of this." ”
"In the future, when you negotiate with the imperial court, this can also be used as a certificate."
Wen Yi said: "I don't object to what you say, but even if I don't have your order, I can still complete the integration of the slang people in Jin'an County for a year or two at most, and your chips are not enough." ”
Xian Hui simply asked, "What do you want?" ”
Wen Yi thought for a while and said, "I want Zhu Yazhou." ”
Xian Hui said suspiciously: "Zhu Yazhou? The overseas environment is even worse than Guangzhou, what do you want to do there? ”
"I want a way out."
Wen Yi sighed and said: "Even a great family like the Xian family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is not recognized by the imperial court, and I am even less sure, it is very likely that if the negotiation fails, it will be eliminated as a rebellion." ”
"With Zhu Yazhou, I am not afraid that the court will turn its face, it is a big deal to take people to the island, and it is not without a chance to turn the tables after 20 years of careful management."
Xian Hui fell into thought, she did not doubt Wen Yi's statement, Zhu Yazhou was indeed a good way out.
Because of the fact that they are separated by a strait, there is very little contact between the slang people on the island and the slang people in Guangzhou.
The Xian family is only a nominal leader there, but in fact, the two places have their own faults, and it is not bad to give this island to Wenyi.
And this Wen Langjun doesn't seem to be an honest person, with him attracting the attention of the imperial court, the Xian family's life will be much better.
What's more, if the two sides form an alliance, she can buy a large number of scarce materials from Jin'an County to fill the vacancy of the slang people, which can also stabilize her position in the clan.
Thinking of this, she has basically agreed to the deal. But she was a little unwilling to promise her like this, so she said in a difficult way:
"Okay, I can give Zhu Yazhou to you, but in this way, I will suffer too much, and you must make amends."
Wen Yi was overjoyed and said, "What compensation do you want?" ”
Xian Hui said: "1,000 pieces of refined salt, 5,000 catties of iron, and 5,000 medicines for Gu worms." ”
Wen Yi couldn't wait to agree to this offer immediately, and forcibly restrained his impulse, so he said with embarrassment: "Too much, especially iron, I ...... myself"
Xian Hui interrupted him and said, "I know you have iron ore in your hands, and this bit of iron is nothing to you. ”
"And you don't think that Xian is my Yiyantang, do you? It is impossible to convince the leaders below without benefit. ”
Wen Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally made a reluctant look and said, "Okay, 1,000 pieces of refined salt, 5,000 catties of iron, and 5,000 portions of Gu medicine." ”
Xian Hui breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, don't look at her toughness, in fact, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, but she didn't expect him to really agree.
It seems that this Wen Langjun's family background is much thicker than he imagined, and it is necessary to have in-depth exchanges and get more support in the future.
What she said is not entirely a lie, the internal situation of the slang people is very complicated, not everyone obeys her as the leader, and they do need some materials to buy the people inside.
A thousand Hu experience and five thousand Gu cures are used to buy people's hearts, and as for iron, of course, they are kept for themselves.
Five thousand pounds of iron is enough for her to arm a thousand elite soldiers, and no one in the slang people will be able to pose a threat to her at that time.
Moreover, by forming an alliance with Wenyi, she regained control of foreign trade channels and continued to obtain various materials.
With this channel in hand, everyone will beg her in turn, and no one will be able to threaten her position.
Someone wants to ask, Lingnan is so big, and the power of the imperial court is so weak, can't she find another trading partner?
Of course, you can, but the supply capacity of those people is insufficient and the asking price is too high, and I don't know when this line will be broken and not stable enough.
The most important thing is the lack of trust between the two sides, and the usual sneaky transactions are okay, and the alliance is still forgotten.
Wenyi met all the conditions, had enough prestige among the slang, did not discriminate against them, had a stable territory, and had abundant materials......
After the alliance intention was reached, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became relaxed.
Of course, it's just a verbal alliance now, and if you want to formally form an alliance, you have to go back and discuss it with the people of the family, and then the two sides will send a formal team to negotiate and sign an agreement or something.
However, the two of them have the greatest say in their respective forces, and they basically mean that the alliance is successful, and the rest is to go through the motions.
In order to show his sincerity, Wen Yi decided to give them 500 pieces of grain, 2,500 catties of iron, and 5,000 Gu curing pills.
Xian Hui was naturally very happy, and repeatedly said that she would not live up to Wen Langjun's trust, but then she said with a bitter face:
"We didn't bring that many boats with us on this trip, so we couldn't bring these things back."
Wen Yi had already thought of this and said, "It's okay, since we are allies, I can still help with this little favor, and I will send someone to send things to Gaoliang." ”
Xian Hui smiled: "That's really thank you Wen Langjun." ”
Then the two began to discuss the transaction after the alliance.
Xian Hui said: "We need iron, medicinal materials, salt, and grain, these four things must be used as fixed commodities, and the rest of the goods are purchased as needed." ”
Wen Yi said: "Medicinal herbs, salt, and grain are easy to say, but iron tools are very troublesome. Although I have iron ore in my hands, the output is not high, and it is not enough for my own use, let alone selling it to you. ”
Xian Hui said: "Ming people don't say secret words, without iron weapons, do you think our alliance is still necessary?" ”
Wen Yi was asked.
Indeed, in this era, iron represents combat effectiveness, and if iron cannot be stably supplied, the meaning of the alliance between the Xian clan and him is discounted by at least half.
"One hundred catties, I can only give you a hundred catties of iron at most every month."
Xian Hui said dissatisfiedly: "What can you do with a hundred catties of iron?" At least five hundred pounds. ”
Wen Yi said simply: "Then let's not cooperate, the iron ore in my hand can't produce five hundred catties of iron every month, so what will I sell to you." ”
Xian Hui said in disbelief: "Don't try to lie to me...... Three hundred pounds, this is my bottom line. ”
Wen Yi: "One hundred catties." ”
Xian Hui said: "Two hundred catties, I have already taken so many steps back, you don't want to let it go at all." ”
Wen Yi said undoubtedly: "Just one hundred catties, this is my bottom line." I talked to you with sincerity, so what I said from the beginning was the bottom line, and it was useless for you to discuss it. ”
Xian Hui saw that he was resolute and knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he blinked his eyes and said, "One hundred and ten catties, this little face should always be given to me." ”
Wen Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "As for it?" ”
Xian Hui sighed and said, "For me, one or two irons are treasures. ”
