"The foreign ministers came this time mainly on the orders of the monarch to discuss the mutual trade between the two countries. My king wants to become an agent of Qianguo in the Liaozhou region...... The meaning of this agent is a little unclear, but my lord has confessed, just let me tell the king, and you will understand. ”

Listening to Ma Ling's words, Zhang Shuo was silent for a moment, and after Ma Ling's mood fluctuated, he spoke: "Liaodi is not as good as Qilu and Qilu, even if the cost of transportation is removed. The cost of making and selling sea salt in Liaodi is also more than double that of Lianghuai sea salt. In this case, why does this king want to share such a huge profit among your Chu country? ”

"What the master said is not true." Ma Ling said unhurriedly: "Now the Blue Wolf Alliance and the Eagle Alliance in Ji and Liao Prefectures are at war, and the places are not very peaceful. No one will vouch for you, and it is not a simple matter for the salt of the Qianguo to cross the major forces. ”

"Are you threatening this king?"

When Zhang Shuo heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at Ma Ling with a cold gaze.

"King Qian's anger, my lord has absolutely no intention of threatening you, he is just stating a fact. This time, the 200 stone of coarse salt in Qianguo were all purchased by China. Although Wang Zhi has some prestige on the water, he can't enter the mainland. ”

Ma Ling obviously came prepared, only to see him continue: "The contemptible people came with the fleet all the way, and they also understood that Qianguo came all the way, but it gave a lot of benefits to the pirates along the way. Since King Qianwang is willing to use such a big deal to open the route to the north. Then why are you not willing to pay a small price to win the entire sea salt business in Liaozhou? ”

"It's not impossible to give Liaozhou's salt selling authority to you King Chu. So how much are you going to take a commission? ”

Zhang Shuo asked expressionlessly, in fact, giving the agency of Liaozhou to the Chu State is beneficial and harmless to the Qianguo. Zhang Shuo put on a look of reluctance to cooperate, in order to propose a war horse transaction with Chu State in the future.

"The price of coarse salt in the market is 400 copper coins a liter, and my lord means to buy it from Qianguo at a price of 350 copper coins a liter."

Zhang Shuo nodded when he heard this, and said indifferently: "Is the price of 350 copper coins too high, or I will sell it to you at the price of 250 copper coins." ”

"What does King Qian, ...... mean?"

When Ma Ling heard Zhang Shuo's words, he couldn't help frowning, he had only seen the seller raise the price, but it was the first time he had seen the seller reduce the price. Zhang Shuo is not a fool, it is impossible to do such a thing, and this move must have other intentions. This had to make him cautious.

If Ye Chenxi was watching from the side at this time, he would definitely be disappointed in Ma Ling's performance. Previously, he only considered that Ma Ling had the Divine Movement Method and the Secret Treasure Hot Wheel, and he was able to quickly pass through the major forces and return to the Chu State. But he forgot to consider Ma Ling's politics and intelligence, whether he was enough to be a qualified messenger.

But even if he knew, it was estimated that there was no better way, after all, at the current stage of the game, the shortage of manpower in various departments is the norm. Like Zhang Shuo, who can directly assemble a simple team with historical celebrities, belongs to the outliers among the different.

Most of the player forces will still choose to recruit players from relevant majors in reality to fill the vacancies in the department. But this kind of play is also limited to those rich and powerful kryptonite bosses.

Although the ability of the consortium behind Ye Chenxi is not small, the offensive and defensive battle between the Eagle Alliance and the Blue Wolf Alliance is now about to reach a white-hot stage. In the past two months, the Qing and Jin armies, led by Wanyan Aguta and Nurhachi, broke the main force of the Eagle Alliance in field battles nearly three times. As a result, the Eagle Alliance, which is usually wealthy, has fallen into a financial crunch for a while, and even a little stretched. It is precisely because of this that Ye Chenxi is temporarily unable to involve the Central Plains region in terms of financial resources and energy.

And Zhang Shuo, who didn't know the internal embarrassment of the Eagle Alliance, looked at the vigilant appearance of the person in front of him, and chuckled: "Chu Envoy doesn't need to worry too much, what Gu Zhi said has no other meaning, it is simply literal." You must know that my country has hoarded a lot of sea salt, which is definitely enough for the current Chu State to sell. When do you bring the ship over, our country is willing to send someone to help load the cargo. ”

"We ship it ourselves? Although our Chu State also relies on the East China Sea, it cannot be compared with the Qianguo in terms of sailors alone. The coastal area of Liaozhou is now almost full of pirates, and our sailors can only protect themselves at the moment, but they have no ability to deal with them. ”

Ma Ling shook his head again and again, denying Zhang Shuo's intention of letting them come over and pretend by themselves.

"You also know that there are more pirates in the coastal areas? The reason why our country opened up this route is a large part of the benefits. Of the 400 copper coins per liter of salt, there are less than 100 copper coins left in our hands. In this case, let the profit of 50 copper coins be given to you. Wouldn't it be equivalent to working in vain for me to run the country? ”

"This ......"

Listening to the slightly exaggerated words in Zhang Shuo's mouth, Ma Ling was a little speechless for a while, and could only ask tentatively: "What does King Qian mean?" ”

"Give you 10 copper coins per liter. Don't underestimate these 10 copper coins, 1 liter of 10, 1 stone of coarse salt is 1,000 copper coins. 100 stone of coarse salt is 100,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to 100 taels of silver! Liaozhou has a vast territory with tens of millions of people. If you Chu State can take the salt of the entire state, this is a lot of money! ”

Zhang Shuo said as a matter of course, as for how much Chu can really sell, that is the matter of his Chu State, and it has nothing to do with him and Qianguo. Well, there is still a half-cent relationship, after all, if the Chu State sells less, then most of their income from the Qianguo will have to be cut by half.

Of course, then again, with Chu Guo as an agent, the sales volume will definitely be much higher than that of Qianguo himself. After all, the state of Chu is a local force and a backbone member of the Eagle Alliance. As a well-known local snake in Liaodi, in dealing with these things, he is definitely not comparable to himself, an outsider.

"10 copper coins a liter, the king of the Qianwang is inevitably too stingy, your country's cooperation with our country is a matter of mutual benefit, I hope the king can consider it carefully."

Ma Ling shook his head again and again, rejecting Zhang Shuo's suggestion, before he came over, his monarch gave him the minimum index. If he can't achieve it, he would rather return in vain, and he can't agree!

"There are more mutually beneficial deals, but it's not just Haiyan. For example, war horses, ginseng, iron ore, ......"

When Ma Ling heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Zhang Shuo meant, and immediately nodded: "What King Qianwang said is not bad!" But these things are not up to the decision, I wonder if the king of Qianwang can have contact between strangers? I will return shortly and let my lord contact you personally. ”
