"Welcome to the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty to our Nabhani."

Although the king tried his best to get away, he had always cared about pomp, and the queue was so large that by the time he arrived, the auction had already entered the countdown.

Although I really want to see what goods are in the auction, the prince of Daming has been waiting there for so long, and it is not appropriate not to see him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's a great honour for me to be here."

After listening to the translation, Zhu Gaoyu thanked him in return.

The two parties hugged warmly, and under the arrangement of the minister, they sat down in the living room where they met.

When the men had finished serving the snacks and various drinks, the king hesitated, but asked:

"I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know much about Daming, can you tell me about Daming."

Zhu Gaoyu has already understood this situation.

Timur was a strange existence to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty didn't even know much about the country before the other party wanted to conflict with the Ming Dynasty.

However, in Central Asia, the Timurid Empire was no less intimidating than the Mongols, and even surpassed the Mongols to a certain extent.

The Mongols were only a threat on land, and some remote countries were not affected much.

But the Timurid Empire was developed on both sides, not only was it absolutely powerful and unreasonable on land, but it was also very domineering at sea.

According to his inquiry, the seas to the east had been blocked by the fleet of the Timurid Empire, and no ships were allowed to go east without their permission.

The main reason for this is not that the Timurid Empire wants to annex the Ming Dynasty alone, but that the main reason for their blockade is for the Asan region.

There was a huge plain to the north, and there was an abundance of products in the south, and this kind of high-quality territory Timur did not want others to know.

Therefore, under the blockade of the Timurid Empire, the Western countries of Central Asia have almost no understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and even some countries think that the Eastern world is still the world of the Mongols.

Daming or something, they haven't even heard of it.

Regarding this situation, Zhu Gaoyu was not only not annoyed, but also a little happy.

The more unclear the better, you know, how can I fool people.

When a force meets another force, if it does not know the details of the other party, it will often be confused by the phenomena seen on the surface.

For example, animals in nature are very vigilant when they see animals they don't know.

There used to be such a little story.

The first time the donkey went up the hill was met by the tiger, and the tiger was very wary of this strange creature for the first time, and wanted to attack tentatively, but was frightened by the donkey's cry, and turned and ran.

Although Da Ming is not a donkey without combat effectiveness, it is not better to make others mistakenly think that Da Ming is stronger.

With Zhu Gaoyu's loud narration, the ministers of the Nabhani Dynasty were stunned when they heard it.

Good guys, with a heritage of more than 5,000 years.

The land is endless, with millions of troops to fight, tens of thousands of people in the country, and tens of thousands of warships sailing on the sea.

King Nabhani was not convinced at first, but when he thought of the warships he had seen on the sea, he became a little unconfident.

The prince in front of him said that the warships under his command were only his own.

A prince can control so many and such large warships, so how powerful should their central court be.

As for the millions of troops, the old king thought about the strength of the Timurid Empire and felt that it seemed quite reliable.

After all, the Timurid Empire, which is so powerful, does not have so many huge and powerful warships on the sea, but this Ming Dynasty has so many and millions of troops It is not impossible.

He still vaguely remembered that the prophet Aladen had told him that a few years earlier, Timur had almost mobilized the whole country to conquer the legendary East.

It can be seen from this that a country that makes Timur, an old lame, attach so much importance to it, and you can imagine how powerful it is.

Later, the old lame man died, and his fourth son, Shaharu, after quelling the rebellion, did not inherit his father's will and continue to attack to the east, but withdrew his troops and returned.

He even heard that this fat man not only did not go to the east, but sent envoys to negotiate peace with them.

It can be seen that Dongfang's strength is definitely very strong, otherwise it would be impossible for a fat sand man who is as arrogant as his father to be so fast.

Although he had guessed so, the king had to test again.

His own country is still under the ban of the Timur Empire, if the Ming Dynasty is really so strong and he is friendly with them, the fat sand man on the opposite side will not dare to embarrass himself.

If you can use this to start trading with the Ming Dynasty, your country's economy will recover quickly, and you may be able to regain the glory of the Arab Empire.

Thinking of this, the king said with a smile on his face: "Fourth prince, I heard that in the past two years, that fat man from Shaharu has sent someone to your Daming again. ”

Zhu Gaoyu squinted, this camel is cautious enough.

"Yes, Your Excellency, on the day I led the fleet to depart, His Excellency Kaffet crossed the Silk Road and went to our Ming Dynasty to worship my father, His Excellency the Great Yongle Emperor."

The smile on the king's face grew even stronger at the hearing of Kaffet's name, and the thick beard on his chin spread out like a sunflower.

Yes, the number is up.

He inquired clearly, and the envoy minister who went to the east was called Kafit.

confirmed that Daming might really be so strong, and the king's enthusiasm was even stronger, and he warmly invited Zhu Gaoyu to taste various special foods, and then chatted to the hearty, and even let the dancing girl dance with national characteristics.

After the establishment of temporary exchanges and temporary trade between the two countries, the king was even more happy and almost sang and danced with the dancers.

For the rest of the day, the two watched singing and dancing while waiting for the auction to begin.

As for how the two countries will establish exchanges and conduct commercial trade, the two did not talk a word.

The two are the bosses, as long as they determine the general direction, as for the details later, they will be discussed by the people below.

After all, there will definitely be some disputes in the negotiation of interests, and the two bosses have just established friendly relations, and it will be a bit out of place if they quarrel over some trivial matters.

And as two people, how hurtful it is to talk about money, eating all kinds of delicious snacks, drinking all kinds of drinks, isn't it fragrant to watch the dancing girl dance.

"Your Highness, the auction is ready to begin."

Just when Zhu Gaoyu and the king were chatting about the customs and customs of the two countries, and the relationship was very harmonious, the manager of a chamber of commerce in charge of the auction came over and whispered a report.

"Your Excellency, the auction is ready to begin, but you are interested in going with me to watch it."

After listening to the translation of the translator, the king laughed.

"This is my honor, I have been deeply attracted by the Ming spoken by the fourth prince, especially those beautiful silks, I believe my wife will like it."

The two laughed and walked to the auction site together.

As soon as I left the room, the lively atmosphere instantly greeted me.

The smell of roasted camels, and the sound of the merchants watching the dancing girls dancing by the fire, poured into their noses and ears.

"It's been a long time since I've been so prosperous here, and I don't know if this prosperity can continue."

Looking at the lively venue, the king couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was parallel to him, looked at the king and replied with a smile.

"I am confident that with the full cooperation of our two countries, this prosperity will not only continue, but even reach a further peak."

The king stopped and looked at Zhu Gaoyu, who was smiling at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then burst out laughing, clasped hands, and walked to their seats with the cheers and applause of the merchants on both sides.

The auction is held over three days, all of which start in the evening.

The reason for choosing this time is that the current Arab region has begun to enter the summer, and the heat of the day is by no means bearable to ordinary people.

The stage of dusk is just right, and more importantly, choosing this time, in fact, there is a little bit of Zhu Gaoyu's little conspiracy.

He had camels bought, slaughtered and roasted, and sprinkled all kinds of spices on them almost for free.

A large number of dancers were also invited to dance by the fire to set off the atmosphere.

In addition to that, there are plenty of drinks by the fire, which are unlimited, and you can drink as much as you want and eat as much as you want.

It seems that this is the behavior of the wrongdoer, but in fact, there are many details hidden in it.

Men have always been very generous in front of women.

When the auction begins, their emotions are at their peak under the stimulus of alcohol.

As soon as someone offered more than him, these specially arranged dancers began to play a role, and began to comfort and encourage them in various ways.

Stimulated by drinks and women, these businessmen will definitely grit their teeth and increase prices for the sake of face.

Just paying some money for roasting camel wine and inviting dancing girls can make a lot of money, and Zhu Gaoyu will naturally not be stingy.

Zhu Gaoyu and the king came to their seats together, waved to the cheering merchants around them, and the two invited each other to sit down.

"Boom..."

With the sound of a drum, a woman wearing a luxurious dress with a stunning appearance and a graceful figure slowly walked onto the stage.

"Wow!"

As soon as this woman appeared, it caused a burst of exclamations below.

These businessmen think that they have seen countless big scenes, and they have seen a lot of beautiful women, and even some people have more than one beautiful woman in their family.

However, as soon as this woman appeared, their vision was refreshed.

They never imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world.

The woman who appeared on the scene was the auctioneer of this auction, and she was also the most beautiful among Zhu Gaoyu's maids.

His appearance and figure, not to mention surprising the people present, when Zhu Gaoyu saw it for the first time, he was also fiercely amazed.

As the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of beauty has he never seen, his daughter-in-law Zhang Yue, is also first-class in terms of appearance.

But when he saw this woman, Zhu Gaoyu determined a statement in his heart.

It turns out that there are really women in the world who can exchange beauty for a hundred years of peace.

In the small country where this woman lives, as long as she is honest and obedient in the future, Zhu Gaoyu can guarantee that there will be no war in her country within a hundred years.

Other maids, Zhu Gaoyu reluctantly accepted, and this was what he took the initiative to ask for.

The other party also knows how to be considerate, and after following Zhu Gaoyu, he served with all his heart, which made Zhu Gaoyu very satisfied, and directly promoted the other party to manage all the maids under his name.

"Welcome to the Daming Business Exchange Conference, I am the exchange teacher of this time!"

As soon as the woman spoke, after all the men present heard the voice, her bones couldn't help but crisp.

This voice is so tempting!

It's the only thought on everyone's mind.

The king sitting next to Zhu Gaoyu was even more confused in front of him.

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at him suspiciously, not understanding how this guy could look like this.

No matter how you say it, you are the king of a country, so you can't see a beautiful woman like this.

How could Zhu Gaoyu understand how lethal the women on the stage are to men.

Through the feedback of the space, not only his body has been strengthened by terror, but even his own willpower has also improved.

Even a person like him who has a plug-in body, he will be amazed at the first sight when he sees each other, but imagine how weak the resistance of ordinary men will be in the face of this beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman on the stage did not introduce her name, she heard His Royal Highness say that only her husband and family can know the woman's name in Daming.

In order to integrate into Daming and become the closest person to His Royal Highness, she forcibly moved her habits closer to Daming.

She ignored the gaze of the man below, and after finishing the opening, she glanced at Zhu Gaoyu obsessively and tapped the small drum in front of her.

"Boom!"

"The exchange meeting has officially begun, and the first exhibit is invited!"

As the drums and the voice of the stunning woman sounded again, many people present trembled slightly, and clenched their legs in embarrassment.

The voice of the stunning woman fell, and a dozen maids walked out with trays on top of folded fine silk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finest silk of my Ming Dynasty, which is not only soft and strong, but also has a variety of forms and patterns."

The stunning woman put down the hammer and picked up a piece of silk and unfolded it.

As the silk unfolds, it looks so gorgeous and noble in the light of the surrounding fire.

Especially against the backdrop of the stunning woman's white skin, which makes this piece of silk rise a few steps.

"In addition to the exquisite style, these patterns can be worn as clothes on the body, and they can also set off a person's temperament to the highest."

"Look, everybody..."

The stunning woman seems to have done her homework, and the development of the origin of silk and the benefits of patterns and styles that can be worn on the body are not hurried or hurried.

Under the narration of her crispy voice, which can turn people's bones into powder, Da Ming's ordinary silk has become a symbol of magnificence and nobility.

The beauty, silk and the seductive voice combined made the people who heard it feel in a trance.

"Boom!"

Putting the silk introduced in her hand into the tray, the stunning woman looked at the bottom and said with a smile: "This time, I will bring a total of 10,000 pieces of silk." ”

"However, due to the need for too many people, we were unable to provide all of them, so after careful consideration, we decided to sell them by auction."

"Each round of trading is a hundred horses, a piece of silk weighs 5 catties, and the floor price of each piece of silk is 20 taels of gold, and each increase in price shall not be less than one tael!"

In order to unify the value of the transaction, each merchant participating in the auction has a list in his hand, corresponding to the weight and value table of each country.

Therefore, the stunning woman on the stage said the weight system of the Ming Dynasty, and the businessmen below understood it just by looking at the table in their hands.

During the Roman period, a horse of silk was transported to Rome from the East, and one kilogram could be exchanged for 20 taels of gold.

A piece of silk weighs 2.5 kilograms and is worth 50 taels of gold according to its value.

Zhu Gaoyu is a wholesaler, and there is still some distance from Europe, so it is impossible to sell it for 50 taels of gold.

If it is sold at 50 taels of gold, then why did these merchants buy Zhu Gaoyu's, isn't it cheaper to go to the Silk Road.

And even if they could be sold, these merchants would not be able to compete with those merchants on the Silk Road when they went to Europe.

After all, those white-skinned pigs are not stupid, the same item, you sell it higher than others, what's the matter, has your silk been kissed by God?

After discussion, the stewards set the reserve price at 20 taels of gold, and the minimum bottom line of the auction was 30 taels.

As the beautiful woman quoted the reserve price, the merchants below also forcibly pulled themselves out of the appearance of the stunning woman, thinking about what kind of price they could offer.

However, some people are thinking, and some people are acting directly.

"Two five!"

A fat-headed and big-eared businessman raised the sign in his hand without hesitation, and pulled the price to 25 taels of gold.

"This handsome gentleman, bid 25 taels of gold each, is there anything higher?"

Seeing that someone had made an offer, the peerless woman looked at the fat-headed and big-eared merchant holding up the sign, and there was a look of adoration in her eyes.

It seems that I was deeply attracted by the bold appearance of this businessman.

At the glance of the stunning woman, the fat businessman's head was suddenly congested, he raised his head with his chest straight, and looked at the people around him with disdain.

However, as soon as he became proud, a thin man snorted disdainfully and held up the sign.

"It's good to open your mind with this money, this is noble silk, not the linen you wear."

"I'll give 30 taels."

Good guy, this guy's bid suddenly reached the bottom line required by the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was sitting on the viewing platform, glanced appreciatively at the stunning woman with a small hammer and a smile on her face, and gave you a look to reward you for one night.

The stunning woman's pretty face was delicate and red, and after praising the thin man, she said with a smile: "Your Excellency bid 30 taels, is there a higher price?" ”

"These silks are precious items, and every time they are delivered, it is very difficult, and if you want to get the next batch of goods again, you will have to wait until a year later, everyone, you must not miss the opportunity!"

"Three two taels!"

"I'll give 33 taels!"

“………”

Under the bewitchment of the stunning woman's words, one by one the prices were quoted.

"I'll give 38 taels!"

When the price reached 38 taels, the other merchants hesitated and stopped quoting.

This price is already very high, and if you buy it at a higher price, you won't make much profit later.

"38 taels for the first time..."

Seeing that no one made any more offers, the stunning woman raised her hammer slightly and began to count.

"38 taels, the second time..."

"38 taels ......"

When she was about to report for the third time, the stunning woman paused in the middle, looked down, and saw that there was really no one to quote, and the hammer in her hand fell heavily.

"3rd time!"

"Boom... Congratulations, Your Excellency, you have obtained the first batch of silk..."

ps: The next chapter has to wait, it will come out before twelve o'clock.
