Chapter 90: The Boundary Matters
Another half a month later, Gu Feng and Ling still came to the foreign imperial city again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike last time, this time Gu Feng and Ling still didn't need to sneak into the palace, but there were people from other lands to greet them.
Along the way, flowers paved the way, and the foreign emperor gave the ancient style a very high treatment.
Gu Feng didn't think so, he knew that this was an emperor from a foreign land who was giving him ecstasy soup. When it's time to negotiate, let yourself go.
Gu Feng didn't eat this, but he enjoyed the scene arranged for him by the exotic emperor with peace of mind.
In the palace, Gu Feng and Ling still met with the emperor of a foreign land.
It was evening, the moon was rising, and the stars were shining.
"Young man, please take a seat with me. The Emperor of the Exotic Land was very polite and invited Gu Feng to his seat.
This time, the dinner was not only Gu Feng, but also Ling Yi and the three emperors of the foreign land, as well as some civil and military ministers of the foreign land, the number of people was about twenty, and the scene was not small.
Gu Feng and Ling were still sitting at the first table of the Foreign Emperor's hand, which was enough to see the importance that the Foreign Emperor attached to the two.
Delicacies were also presented as everyone took their seats, which was undoubtedly fatal to Ling Yi.
"Haha... The last time the young man came in a hurry, I didn't enter the friendship of the landlord, this time the young man has to stay for a few more days, so that I can have a good row for the young man. The Emperor of the Exotic Land laughed.
"Then thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. "The ancient style raised a glass and drank with the emperor of a foreign land.
The ministers also accompanied them to drink the cup for a long time.
The dinner party began in this cheerful atmosphere, and the little girl finally no longer had to endure the pain of not being able to eat the food in front of her, and began to feast on it, of course, the food was still very elegant.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and the program arranged by the exotic for the ancient style has also been performed, everyone understands that it is time to get down to business.
"I don't know what this young man from a neighboring country thinks about establishing a trade war between the two countries. An exotic minister sitting across from Gu Feng was the first to speak, smiling heartily.
Gu Feng smiled lightly in his heart, knowing that the show had begun.
Without responding to the minister's question, Gu Feng asked rhetorically: "I don't really know much about this matter, so why don't you tell me your opinion first." ”
The man was puzzled, looked at Le Gufeng for a while, and then spoke: "Since Your Excellency is not clear about this matter, then I will tell the young man that there will be a trade war between you and me." Among them, the main concern is the trade tax of both sides, when the time comes, we will have to set up a tax station there, our businessmen will have to pay a certain fee to your country for the trade war in your country, and your country will also have to pay a certain fee for our trade war. Therefore, this time we mainly want to discuss the issue of current taxation. ”
"So what do you think this tax should be? Gu Feng smiled.
"Huh. According to the previous precedent of establishing a trading post between countries, we need to pay 5% of the cost of the goods as the cost of entering your country, and because your country is the party proposing the establishment of a trading post, according to the historical situation, it has to pay 10% of the cost of goods to China as a tariff for entering China. The man said with a smile.
Gu Feng smiled, and there seemed to be no dispute about this man's statement.
"I don't know what Your Excellency thinks?" the man continued to ask when he saw that Gu Feng did not speak.
"I think it's good, just do what he said, your country pays 10 percent of the total value of goods as customs duties, and China pays 5 percent of the total value of goods as customs duties. Gu Feng said with a smile, but he reversed the data of both sides.
The minister was overjoyed when he saw Gu Feng agree, but when he heard Gu Feng's next words, his face turned cold.
This person is really rude, it is completely a scoundrel, he said it clearly, the other party pays 10 percent, and his own side pays 5 percent, how can it be the other way around in this person's mouth.
The minister of the foreign land was indignant, but he was hindered by the identity of the ancient style. He could only speak calmly again: "Shaoxia is wrong, it should be the merchants of your country who pay ten percent, and the merchants of my country who pay five percent." ”
Gu Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, this lord, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, everyone wants to fight for the interests of their country, and this kind of thing will not come to fruition if they continue to argue." The establishment of this trading post will be of great benefit to both of you and me, not only to promote the circulation of goods in the domestic markets of both sides, but also to strengthen exchanges between the two countries and consolidate the relationship between you and me. So we don't have to argue here for the sake of petty profits. I don't know if this adult thinks what I'm saying is right. ”
The Minister of Exotic Lands nodded, agreeing with the ancient style.
In this era of separation, it is indeed better to be able to consolidate the relationship between the two countries than to obtain some small profits.
"Since you agree with me, I have a proposal to remove tariffs on trade between the two countries, which can greatly promote the trade between the two countries, and can maximize the interests of the two countries in the shortest possible time. Money is nothing more than a foreign thing, relying on a little tariff is just a small profit, and the cultural spread brought about by the exchange of businessmen between the two countries will not only play a role in consolidating the relationship between the two countries, but also accelerate the economic development of the two countries. That's the real benefit of building this trading post. "It's old-fashioned.
"This... The people of the foreign land were shocked, and the ancient wind had never heard of this opinion, but when they thought about it, it was indeed as it said.
Sometimes the invisible things do more than you can imagine.
"Haha... The Wind Emperor is truly extraordinary. I think that's it. Tariffs have been abolished on trade between the two countries. In the end, the emperor of the foreign land made a decision and decided this matter.
The ministers of the exotic lands also nodded, agreeing with the ancient style's statement.
The matter is settled, and Gu Feng's heart is also relaxed. He pushed the cup and changed the cup with the people in the foreign land, and drank until late at night.
In the following time, at the invitation of the foreign emperor, Gu Feng and Ling were still here for a few more days before they set off to return to the border city.
Back and forth here, the ancient wind has spent more than two months in this border land, and the season has already moved from autumn to winter. Both wore thick winter coats to withstand the scorching cold of the border region.
After returning to the border city, Gu Feng told the lord of the border city about the agreement he had reached with the foreign land, and personally wrote a letter of resignation, telling Dongfang Yi about the matter here.
In addition, Gu Feng also recruited members of the valley and wrote two letters, which they handed over to the ghost god of wealth and the third son of the Yu family respectively.
The content of the letters is the same, except for one sentence: the border city has great interests, and it is up to you to make your own decisions.
Trade without tariffs is a big opportunity for all merchants, and those who can grasp this opportunity first will naturally get the most benefits, so Gu Feng passed the news here to Wei Daoming, the ghost god of wealth, and the third prince of the Yu family, and they will definitely know what to do.
After settling the matter, Gu Feng and Ling still did not stay here any longer, but set off and continued to move towards the route drawn by the two...
The conclusion said: The wonderful ideas are incomparable, and the boundary is clear on the way
