044 was fooled and lame by Ji Shu
Muchaha overturned the wooden table in front of him, his chest rising and falling.
He calmed down for a moment, then smiled again, "I was almost taken away by you, even so, what does it have to do with me, Zhao Li is dead, I have you in my hands, then Qi Ye can't help me." β
"The prince did not wait for peace talks, but led his troops to resist stubbornly, in order to save face from the defeat of the king of Warat. It's a pity, even if the eldest prince can take me and your two sons or go back, I'm afraid he will be disgusted by King Warat, and he will not have a chance to take the throne again. β
Mu Chaha approached Ji Shu and grabbed her neck.
"Don't think that this king won't dare to kill you!"
"Prince...... What do you think of my Great Qin Tianwei? If our emperor knows that you have been buying iron and firearms privately with Zhao Li all year round, he will definitely ...... Be furious! Coupled with you, kidnapping me and threatening Qi Ye, with his temperament, he will not give up, you are already at the end of the crossbow, and you are leveling the troops, what is the difficulty! β
Ji Shu was smashed to the ground, leaving a deep mark on her neck, she got up and continued:
"Then the king of Warat will blame you for everything! Not only do you have no chance to be on the throne, but you may also be pushed out by King Warat, and you will be sincere in peace talks! At that time, the head will definitely fall to the ground! β
Marcuri was so angry that he was about to slash her where to demonstrate, but he didn't expect Ji Shu to blurt out:
"Only I can help you!"
The knife stopped in mid-air.
Ji Shu stood up with the dead wood on the side, "Let me go, I can help you, not only can you get out of the way, but you can also make a great contribution in front of your King Warat." β
Muchaha looked at her for a moment and laughed.
"You can't be a fool to be the king! Will you believe what you say? β
Ji Shu's face did not change, "The prince should know how I met Qi Ye." β
Muchaha's expression twisted, "If you hadn't sent him food and grass, our warriors would have razed this place to the ground......"
"I transferred more than 100,000 stone of grain and grass, countless disaster relief silver, and was trapped in the snow along Anfu, and the local prefect was greedy for ink, and the money and grain for disaster relief were also provided by me. It adds up to at least nearly 300,000 taels of silver, which are thrown out and cannot be heard, but to me, it is only a drop in the penny. β
Muchaha had a serious expression.
He is the prince of Wara in charge of economy and trade, equivalent to the household official of Daqin, what he does is silver trading, his heart moved, and he seemed to guess what Ji Shu wanted to say.
She said slowly: "Zhao Li called you here because I robbed him of the opportunity to make a fortune." No matter what, he can't escape death, but without him, there will be no iron and firearms, and Wara can't compete with Daqin's iron cavalry, and he will eventually die, doesn't the prince feel pity? β
"This king understands." Mu Chaha raised his eyebrows, "You want to replace Zhao Li and do business with this king." β
"Daqin's horses cost seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the good ones even cost hundreds of taels, and the demand for horses is not endless. But in Warat, horses are not worth much at all, and if they can be bought at a low price and sold at a high price in Daqin, they can earn countless amounts of silver every year. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a lucrative business. β
Ji Shu stepped forward and glanced at Marcuri, "I want to sit and talk to the prince about this business." β
Marcuri's expression froze, he glanced at Mu Chaha, saw that he was thoughtful, nodded at himself, and then moved a stool for Ji Shu angrily.
In front of him was a low table, Ji Shu said again: "Paper and pen." β
Marcuri gritted his teeth and handed it over.
Ji Shu wrote as he spoke: "I will settle an account with you, there are countless side branch officials in my family, and many of them are sent to various state capitals, Xunyang Mansion, Tianxin Mansion, and Qingzhou Mansion...... These state capitals are all places where iron ore is concentrated, and the iron ore that pays tribute to the imperial court every year is hundreds of thousands of stones. And in addition to the imperial court, there is also a dart bureau used by the imperial court to escort the iron oreββ"
"As long as I open my mouth, the annual bookkeeping of the tribute court is less than a hundred thousand stone iron, and it is easy, and no one will find out. And the things transported by my dart bureau can be secretly escorted all over the world, and there is no interference on this line, so it will not be discovered at all. β
"Zhao Li only dares to send you oil and water from Yan'anfu, along the small territory of Anfu, the iron ore mined is not enough to stuff your teeth. I dare to transport iron, even saltpeter and gunpowder to you from the largest iron mine in Daqin...... This is what Warat can earn every year, and it can save tens of millions of taels of silver at your normal mutual market price. β
Muchaha, who was also a businessman, held the thin piece of paper, and his hands trembled a little with excitement.
Ji Shu smiled, "If King Warat knew that the prince had brought such a great benefit to Warat, would he still care about your defeat this time?" If the prince and I were to do business, the loss of this defeat would have been made up for in just one year. β
"Why should I believe you?"
Muchaha had wavered, but he was still not reassured.
"Nothing is a sure thing, you have to gamble on everything. Just looking at whether the prince is bold enough, I only know that those who can be kings are never afraid of their hands and feet. β
Ji Shu said: "What's more, you and I are a win-win situation in this matter." I am a merchant, and I want to collect money. Zhao Li has such a chance to make money, and I have the opportunity to grab it. β
Marcuri furrowed his brows, "Prince, don't believe her, she's just a woman!" Where is it possible to have such a great ability! β
Outsiders look at the bustle, insiders look at the doorway.
Mu Chaha pinched the paper in his hand and looked at the smooth bookkeeping on it, and knew that Ji Shu's ability was not just on paper.
And she was taken captive here, without the slightest fear, and dared to talk to him about business, which shows that she is not an ordinary woman.
Only with such courage can it be possible to accomplish this great thing.
Ji Shu leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "It's good to be a woman." Who would have thought that women would dare to smuggle with foreign enemies. My identity is the best protection, but it is much more convenient, more profitable, and safer than Zhao Li's guy. As soon as I get back, I will be able to arrange this line immediately. β
Mu Chaha pinched the paper and said after being silent for a long time:
"This king thinks about it. Marcuri, take her down first. Set up a separate tent for her and find someone to keep an eye on. β
"Yes."
Ji Shu lowered his eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
was finally fooled by her.
The situation is critical right now, she can't sit still, she must find a way to slip away.
Makuri pushed her forward, it seemed that Mu Chaha's attitude towards Ji Shu, and Makuri's movements were a lot gentler.
Ji Shu glanced around, there was jungle all around, and there was no way out at all.
She looked down at the ground, caught a glimpse of one, and her pupils shrank.
"Ahh
Marcuri shook his head, and Ji Shu fell to the ground, rubbing his ankles with a bitter face.
"It's a tough road here."
Marcuri cursed in Varat in disgust, then rudely took her hand and dragged her to the tent.
Ji Shu exhaled in pain while quietly stuffing the blades of grass he had dragged down into his sleeve pocket.
