Chapter 232: Tong Su did not bully Lord Qin
Subsequently, in order to verify that Qin's words were true.
Wang Zhen took the initiative to ask to meet with him to meet the Dali envoy, as a privy envoy, he must be responsible for the homeland security of the Great Song Dynasty, if he can't verify it in person, he is not at ease.
"Then you try to talk as little as possible after you go in, and you can echo what I say."
Qin Weiju's move to get Wang Zhen was clearly to share the firepower of those imperial histories for him, and no one in the court wanted to get rid of him at this moment.
As a privy envoy, Wang Zhen's position is naturally very important.
With him going with him, no matter how crazy those imperial histories are, they have to pick up the small abacus Balabala, and calculate whether this deal is worth it because of a Qin Wei to offend a prime minister.
When the Dali envoy heard that Qin Wei was coming, he showed enthusiasm for it.
During the New Year's Festival, he made a bet with the envoys of various countries, and the envoy of Dali was also one of them, and the gamble could be described as a heavy loss, which made his life even worse for the little envoy who was not well-off.
But when he saw Qin Wei today, not only did he not have the slightest disgust, but he was extraordinarily affectionate, serving tea and pouring water and laughing, and he was about to have some more programs that were not suitable for children.
"Lord Qin is here, the little envoy is waiting for you hard."
The Dali envoy seemed to welcome Qin Wei into the door, and suddenly saw Wang Zhen behind him, and was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Wang Xianggong is here, the little envoy is honored, please take a seat!"
The privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, this is a real power leaning towards the government and the opposition! In the past, even Qin Wei didn't bother to have too much contact with an envoy of his rank.
In a word - there is no diplomacy for a weak country.
Now not only Qin Wei is here, but even Wang Zhen has arrived, which shows the importance he attaches to this matter.
The Dali envoy couldn't help but feel a little more sure of this transaction.
It seems that the Great Song Junchen also wants to promote this deal, since this is the case, it will be necessary to reduce the price later.
From a certain point of view, there is no difference between a country's envoy and a company's sales, both for the sake of buying their own products at a good price, or to save money for their own company.
In Qin Wei's eyes, Wang Zhen is a kind elder, but in the eyes of outsiders, he has irreversible majesty.
He hummed lightly, and the momentum and majesty of the cardinal phase made people unconsciously half a head shorter.
The envoy of Dali immediately felt that the coercion was coming, and subconsciously lowered his posture, and bowed again: "The little envoy Duan Cheng has talked about the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Qin Wei smiled on the side, it seems that the role of the prince is not small, at least as soon as they meet, Duan Cheng will be timid, then this deal will be much easier to talk about.
"Your Majesty has agreed to the matter that your envoy wants to buy my Great Song Dynasty's weapons, but the weight of the weapons must be clear to your envoy, so Your Majesty specially sent the cardinal minister to accompany the official today!"
Come on, lad! It's okay for you to buy less today, my Great Song Privy Envoy is here, don't think about sending away your two dates.
"This ......" Duan Cheng was first delighted, and then made a look of embarrassment, and said: "Lord Qin, I don't have much wealth in Dali, so I want to pay with rice and silver money this time, you see this ......"
Rice is good, in the Great Song Dynasty, Dali rice is a rare thing, usually for the princes and nobles want to use, ordinary people can't eat it at all.
So as soon as he heard the word rice, Wang Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly: "Then how much rice are you going to produce?" ”
Ay!
I really shouldn't have let you come along!
Qin Wei regretted it infinitely in his heart.
The old man has never done business at first glance, and before anyone says how much he wants to buy, you can't wait to ask the price, and ...... We're sellers, didn't he come to ask us for the price?
"Little Envoy ......"
Duan Cheng was very pleased with Wang Zhen's reaction, and just wanted to speak, but was intercepted by Qin Wei's words.
"I don't lack food in the Great Song Dynasty, so rice can't be exchanged for weapons!"
Well? How did it reverse......
Duan Cheng was a little dumbfounded by this sudden refusal.
Didn't the nobles of the Great Song Dynasty like the rice of our Dali Kingdom very much? How did it come to the eyes of this young man, as if he was worthless.
You must know that the rice of Dali is not only a sought-after product in the Great Song Dynasty, but also very popular in other countries such as Liao.
Most of this young man is not a family and does not know the price of firewood and rice.
Duan Cheng was choked for a moment, so he had to endure his anger and said with a wry smile: "It's just money...... China's copper coin reserves are insufficient, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give too much. ”
You don't want that!
Anyway, this is the case in my Dali country, if you don't want it, then you can only settle it with money, but the problem is that there is not enough money in the country, which is also something that everyone knows.
Qin Wei seemed to know that he would say this, and continued: "Silver money is not a problem, except for rice, you can also use other things to replace it......
Something else? In addition to the good rice, Dali really hasn't heard of anything else.
Duan Cheng looked at Qin Wei with some caution, and looked at him vigilantly: "Then I don't know what your country wants in exchange." ”
"Horses, herbs!"
Qin Wei stared at Duan Cheng, the greed in his eyes and the concealment were still a little.
What a young man, he really knows how to do business...... Blame had to ask for rice, it turned out that Dali valued more valuable resources.
It is well known that the Great Song Dynasty has few horses.
However, Dali is a horse-producing powerhouse.
Although the breed and endurance of Dali horses are much worse than those of Liao, they are also horses, and for the Great Song Dynasty, which lacks war horses, any breed of horse is precious.
"What? Can't you be the master? But forget about buying and selling weapons, let's have a chance to cooperate again in the future. ”
Seeing Duan Cheng's hesitant appearance, Qin Wei knew that he was waiting for the price to sell, waiting for him to speak first.
However, Qin Wei was not used to his problem, so he got up and walked out.
Seeing this, although Wang Zhen felt that Qin Wei's business methods were a bit outrageous, it was not easy to lose face to his children in front of outsiders, so he also got up and walked out.
Anyway, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been criticizing this matter constantly, and it is a good thing that the transaction cannot be completed.
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
"Huh?"
Wang Zhen couldn't help frowning when he heard Qin Wei's whisper next to him.
"Open ......"
Qin Wei turned his back to the door of Duan Cheng's aisle, and gently spit out two words in his mouth.
Was he testing Duan Cheng?
Did he think Duan Cheng would open his mouth to keep him? Although Dali's horses are not good enough, the market is also very good, and the price is good, if you exchange weapons for horses......
Da Song is not a loss, but Dali may not be willing.
Therefore, Wang Zhen felt that Qin Wei had smashed it for fun, and the Dali envoy would not chase him out.
"Lord Qin, stay here!"
As if to slap Wang Zhen in the face, Duan Cheng quickly chased after him after a short inner struggle.
"Lord Qin, aren't they just horses...... You can talk, you can talk! ”
At this time, Wang Zhencai's jaw dropped in shock.
Dali was willing to exchange horses for weapons eliminated by the Great Song Dynasty, and this deal made a lot of money!
The two were invited to the house by Duan Cheng again.
This time, the Dali envoy completely lost the self-confidence he had just now, and even the leading position was invisibly taken away by Qin Wei.
"Don't feel at a loss, my Great Song Dynasty's weapons are well known, and they are good ......."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Qin Wei said a few words of relief at the right time.
He smiled and said, "Your envoy must have heard of several wars between Song and Liao, right?" The Liao State is strong, but my Great Song Dynasty is still not lagging behind, why is this? ”
Because the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty are the most hanging!
In the absence of horses and cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty was still able to draw with the Liao State, which doesn't just show that the Great Song Dynasty had excellent weapons!
Even Wang Zhen nodded subconsciously.
Because Qin Wei is telling the truth, although the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is not good, it is really rich.
If you have money, you have good weapons, and the more money, the better your weapons!
"This envoy understands......"
Duan Cheng knew that Qin Wei was boasting, but he had no way to refute it, so he could only continue: "In this case, how does Lord Qin think this exchange condition should be formulated?" ”
Qin Wei had already written down the amount and conditions of the exchange between the two parties.
Just waiting for Duan Cheng to open this mouth.
He smiled and took out a written bill from his arms and handed it to Duan Chengdao: "Your Excellency, please see, my Great Song Dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and my Song people are even more well-known for doing business!" The price is fair, and the children are not deceived! ”
Duan Cheng automatically ignored Qin Wei's boasting.
He can see that this young man can't do business, he is too good at business.
Zhang Chi has a degree of grasping, and it is called just right.
It's just that when he finished reading the bill, his face suddenly collapsed, and even his cheeks began to tremble.
"Five...... Five thousand? Lord Qin, you're not kidding, are you? ”
The bill said that the Great Song Dynasty was willing to use 5,000 weapons, 1,000 pairs of armor, and a number of arrows and shields...... The condition is that Dali must pay 5,000 war horses as a price, and an additional 20,000 copper coins!
20,000 copper coins are nothing, even if it is doubled, it doesn't matter.
But these 5,000 horses ...... This is not a lion's mouth, this is using me as a mallet!
Are your weapons made of gold?
Qin Wei was particularly calm, and even looked at Duan Cheng suspiciously, and asked, "What?" Do you think it's a little too much? Hi...... My Great Song Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, so less is less, and there will be more opportunities in the future. ”
It's like pumping this shameless face to the ground!
Duan Cheng endured his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Qin...... Twenty thousand copper coins are fine, or if your country thinks it is less, we can talk about it again, but these five thousand horses ......"
As soon as he heard this number, Wang Zhen lost his temper for the first time, and he got up from his chair with a pout.
A pair of old eyes were particularly round at the moment, and Qin Wei even saw the eye droppings in the corners of his eyes.
"How much?"
My Maharaja, are you here to smash my yard today?
Qin Wei complained bitterly in his heart, then looked at Wang Zhen and squeezed his eyebrows, and said, "The cardinal minister also thinks that this number is too little?" It's just that before going out, His Majesty explained that he wanted the officials to pay attention to the friendship between the two countries, and they must not ask for a sky-high price......"
I......
Wang Zhen choked for a while before he understood Qin Wei's intentions.
He looked at Qin Wei with complicated eyes...... This kid is finished! Why haven't you seen him become like this for a few years? Profiteer! O pure profiteer!
