Wilson's ability to drink is really impressive. Kodong County's Lihua Bai is soju, with over 40 degrees of alcohol. This guy drank to the point of dryness. He drank more than ten glasses in a row and his face didn't change and his heart didn't beat!
Xiao Chen's drinking capacity is much better than Xiao Chen's.
But Xiao Chen has a secret weapon, which is the hangover pill Duanmu Nanqiao gave him...
So after having a fight with Wilson, he was still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened.
Wilson was greatly heartbroken!
"Can I know the price you sell these rubbers to those Japanese people?" After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Chen returned to the topic.
"Those nasty little devils are as smart as monkeys, and the prices they give are not high, but you know, we have too many rubber plantations there now, and the demand market has become saturated, so I have to find a way Find other sales..." Wilson complained.
"This price is indeed very low. Let's do this. If you sell this cargo to me, I will add two thousand taels of silver to you!" Xiao Chen said.
"I'm really sorry, my dear friend, I can't do this. I have signed a treaty with the Japanese. The treaty is the supreme promise, right? I can never violate it. So, if you want it, I will give you another one. The boat is coming, I mean it will be given to you, no money required!" Wilson is a very particular businessman and a very good friend.
"Okay, I respect your decision my friend, but we have a saying in China that brothers settle accounts. I want to do business with you, long-term business! From now on, I will own all the rubber in your rubber plantation. And the price is 30% higher than that of Japanese people!" Xiao Chen said.
"Really? That's great!" Wilson was overjoyed, but then he spread his hands helplessly, "But you don't allow our cargo ships to enter any of your ports..."
"From now on, if you send the goods directly here, I will find someone to receive them. If you encounter the Great Zhou Navy on the way, you will mention my name, and I will get you a pass token later. Of course, I will also send each item to you in advance. I’ll pay you for the shipment.”
So Xiao Chen doesn't know how to do business at all. They all pay cash on delivery. How can anyone give money first? But precisely because of his words, Wilson was completely conquered.
"Actually, I don't really want silver. If possible, can you exchange it for porcelain and silk of equal value? You have no idea how popular these things are here." When it comes to business, Wilson also becomes serious.
"Of course, my personal friend." Xiao Chen readily agreed.
But he also has a condition, that is, I have enmity with the Japanese, and you, Wilson, are my friends, so you can no longer do any business with them in the future!
"To hell with those nasty guys!" Wilson said.
After Xiao Chen reached an agreement with Wilson, he immediately went to Lin Dongyang and asked him to accept Wilson's goods for him.
Although Lin Dongyang didn't know what Xiao Chen wanted so much rubber for, he naturally agreed happily.
He went to Lin Han himself and told him that he wanted to do some private business with Wilson, and asked General Lin to be accommodating.
Of course, your share of benefits, General Lin, will definitely be indispensable.
Although Lin Han was not familiar with Xiao Chen, as Xiao Chen, if he asked him for such a small thing, he would agree to it no matter what. Even if he agreed generously, as long as Wilson's ship was within the waters under his jurisdiction, There is no obstruction to the passage, and all ports and terminals can be landed at will!
Just mention your name, Mr. Xiao.
But Mr. Xiao, you are so polite. Why would you come to your door in person for such a trivial matter? I’m so embarrassed to have given my brother so many gifts...
From now on, sir, if you have anything to do in Jiangdong County, you only need to send someone over to give orders, and all brothers will do it!
Even Zhuge Xiaosheng and the others couldn't figure out what Xiao Chen wanted so much rubber for?
That thing can't be eaten or burned, so what's the use?
Xiao Chen also smiled and said nothing.
This is not what you know, and you will understand it naturally in the future.
Not long ago, I returned to Fengyang City. When I went there, the spring flowers were blooming, but when I came back, it was already early autumn, and the breeze felt a bit cool.
Li Wanjiang personally received the Burmese envoy. Not only did he not blame him at all, he also praised the Burmese king greatly, saying that he made prompt decisions and was not confused about important matters. Hearing that he was unwell, he also specially gave him a lot of top-secret tonics from the palace. , the holy grace can be described as quite grand.
Returning to the palace, I met Xiao Chen, Liu Wenzheng, Chen Ming and others again. When asked about their experiences along the way and what they had seen in Myanmar, they all told the truth.
Liu Wenzheng said in more detail that Myanmar has had good weather over the past few years, but there have been no major disasters. The reason why they report sorrow but not good news every year is all due to greed. The king of Myanmar also admitted that he was wrong and promised that starting from this year , every year he pays a tribute of grain and rice to Dazhou...
Although it was said to be a tribute, depending on what King Burma meant, he still wanted something in exchange. His original words were that he hoped to receive a special reward from the emperor, so that he would have some glory on his face and let other vassal countries know about the great grace of God. So...
Li Wanjiang just nodded and listened, neither happy nor angry, saying a word.
When they finished reporting, they were ordered to leave, leaving only Xiao Chen.
A pair of deep eyes stared at him closely, without saying a word for a long time.
It made Xiao Chen feel scared.
"You have made a huge contribution to me again, and I don't even know how to reward you?" Li Wanjiang finally spoke, his tone was quite cold.
"This slave just did a little bit for the Emperor, but he doesn't dare to take credit, let alone accept the reward!" Xiao Chen knelt down directly.
"Oh? If that's the case, people in the world will know that you, Xiao Chen, are humble. Those who don't know will think that I am stingy with rewards and mean and ungrateful." Li Wanjiang smiled slightly.
"I don't care what others say, I don't care. Anyway, my loyalty to the emperor can be learned from the emperor!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Well, get up and talk. I'm very pleased that you think so, but I have to reward you. I want to make you a marquis, what do you think?" Li Wanjiang said in a surprising way.
Xiao Chen, who had just stood up according to the order, knelt down again in fear, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Haha, why are you scared?" Li Wanjiang was happy.
"I'm not afraid, I'm very afraid!" Xiao Chenxin said, "Are you trying to reward me or harm me?" If you make me a marquis today, tomorrow those ministers will kill me!
"No way. I see how brave you are. How dare you privately mobilize troops in Fenzhu to attack Black Tiger Mountain?" Li Wanjiang began to change his face.
"My slave is guilty!" Xiao Chen kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, with all kinds of vulgar words coming out in his mind.
"Then do you know what this crime is?" Li Wanjiang pressed forward step by step.
"Death penalty!" Xiao Chen had no choice but to answer truthfully.
In fact, he was not guilty at all. He had mobilized his troops, but it was to destroy Gong Heihu, and in fact he won a great victory!
He could also argue that it was Lin Shouwei who led the troops to suppress the bandits, and he just led Xichang and Jinyiwei to cooperate.
