morning. The sun is scorching and the heat is overwhelming.
Jiang County.
As Wu Nian's power penetrated Guangchuan Mansion and reached the sea. Although Jiang County is located in a mountainous area, it is well connected in all directions and has finally regained some of its former prosperity.
Caravans came in and out every day, bringing and taking away a large amount of goods. It also led to the revival of various industries in the city.
Before Wu Nian got Guangchuan Prefecture, it was purely an agricultural county, with all industries in decline.
Among these many caravans, there are also occasionally Fuso caravans and Goguryeo caravans.
rare.
Because businessmen from these two countries generally only do business in Jinghai County. After arriving, they unloaded the goods, sold them, and then bought Liaodong specialties back home.
"Crack!"
"Da da da!!!"
Today, a Fuso caravan appeared on the road. At the front and back of the team, two flags with the family crest of copper coins were erected.
Equipped with twenty Fuso warriors, they surrounded a luxurious carriage and slowly headed towards Qianqianjiang County.
A businessman on the road who was looking for goods saw this copper coin. There was a lot of discussion.
"This is the family crest of the Kyogoku family of Fuso. They have great influence on the sea, in the southeast of Chu State, and in Goguryeo. Are they going to get involved in Liaodong now?"
"The Kyogoku family is like dogs, with a keen sense of smell. Although the current situation in Liaodong is still raging, the business environment is much better than when Liaodong was the general. The Kyogoku family is involved in Liaodong business, and it is very It’s normal.”
"indeed."
Under the attention of the businessmen, the team of the Kyogoku family entered Jiang County and arrived in front of the Fuhan General's Mansion.
The carriage stopped as the guards in front of the door watched eagerly. Kitahara Sosuke took a step forward, took out a letter written by Wu Nian, handed it to the guard, bowed politely and said: "This is a letter from General Fu Han. We ask to see Mr. Liu Zhixing."
"Wait a moment." The guards were originally not very fond of the Fusang people. This was a common situation among Wu Nian's army. They had a high degree of identification with the Yanhan people and were relatively repulsive to other races.
But Wu Nian's personal letters are different. A guard reached out and took the letter, said a polite word, turned around and walked in.
Soon after, the guard returned and invited Kitahara Sosuke in.
But under the surprised eyes of the guards, Kyogoku Yuki opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage gracefully, and entered the Fuhan General's Mansion with small steps, followed by Kitahara Sosuke.
The rest of the Fuso warriors stayed outside.
The guards looked at each other. They did not dare to discuss Wu Nian's personal affairs, but they could not help but have their thoughts in their minds.
"Could this be the general's new concubine? Or the Fuso Singer?"
"This Fuso woman can't be a Fuso ninja, right?"
Anyway, I can think of everything at once.
Wu Nian had already had a bad relationship with Liu Zhixing. Liu Zhixing didn't think much after hearing the news. After Kyogoku Yukiri came in, he immediately arranged for someone to make tea and asked Kyogoku Yukiri to sit down.
"Miss Kyogoku. The general has already told me about the copper business. I am fully responsible for this business. When doing business, of course, you need to inspect the goods first. Please wait a moment, Miss Kyogoku. My people will get the copper soon." The ingot is here."
After Liu Zhixing sat down, he said politely to Kyogoku Yukiri.
This is the God of Wealth, so you're welcome.
Wu Nian didn't care about things and didn't know that money, rice, oil and salt were expensive. He is in charge of things, and he is really trying to increase revenue and reduce expenditure from heaven to earth, but it is still a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention anything else, the eating and drinking of an army of 100,000 people made him very anxious.
"Thank you, Liu Changshi." Kyogoku Yuki sat half-assed on the Taishi chair, sitting elegantly and calmly, and bowed lightly.
"Miss Kyogoku, you're welcome." Liu Zhixing shook his head and said.
Not long after, the tea maker came in first. Put down two cups of tea. Liu Zhixing and Kyogoku Yuki both took a few sips and then put it down.
Kyogoku Yuki is a little uncomfortable with this kind of tea. In Fuso, people like to drink matcha.
After a while, Liu Zhixing's men walked in carrying a large wooden box. Liu Zhixing stood up with a smile on his face, opened the lid of the box, and invited, "Miss Kyogoku, please inspect the goods."
"Okay." Kyogoku Yuki nodded gently, stood up and moved lightly to the box. Kitahara Sosuke followed closely behind.
There are pieces of copper ingots in the box, arranged neatly. Kyogoku Yuki is very knowledgeable. His eyes immediately lit up, he picked up one of the copper ingots and looked at it repeatedly.
The same goes for Kitahara Sosuke. The two of them quickly came to a conclusion, with joy in their eyes.
"It's really good copper. The quality is very good." Kyogoku Xueli took a gentle breath, and his flat chest became a little bigger. He raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing sincerely.
She almost couldn't hold back and wanted to take the liberty to ask how you made such a good copper ingot.
Copper ore is the same as silver ore. When dug out, it is ore. It must first be refined before copper and silver ingots can be extracted.
The melting point of silver is much lower than that of copper. Refining is relatively easy. Refining copper is very troublesome, let alone refining copper ingots of such good quality.
Such copper ingots can be sold at a very good price in Fuso.
"Haha." Liu Zhixing smiled and said nothing. Of course it was copper smelting in a blast furnace. Blast furnace technology is not just for refining steel.
"As long as Ms. Kyogoku is satisfied. We can provide copper ingots of this quality in large quantities. Next, let's talk about the price."
Liu Zhixing made an invitation gesture, turned around and sat back.
"Okay." Kyogoku Yuki nodded gently, took small steps back to his seat and sat down. Immediately, the two parties bargained like normal businessmen.
But it looks better when chopped, and it’s not like selling vegetables in a wet market. We are all capable and decent people, so that would be too cheap.
In the end, the two got a price that they were both satisfied with.
"Use our copper to exchange for a large amount of cheap silver. Then use the silver to buy food, cloth and other supplies. With the sea, it is really different."
Liu Zhixing's face looked very good-looking, and he was very happy in his heart.
"Let's not talk about Wu Nian's rare goods. As long as we can maintain this business, we will make a lot of money." Kyogoku Yuki was also very satisfied and thought to himself.
Doing business.
The hardest part is satisfying both parties. And once both parties are satisfied, both parties make money. Then the business can last for a long time.
At this moment, a guard came in from the outside and reported to Liu Zhixing: "Sir, Miss Kyogoku's entourage wants to come in, saying that he has something to report."
"Huh?!" Kyogoku Yuki and Kithara Aosuke's expressions changed slightly. What happened? This is an important stage of business negotiations, and people below will not disturb them unless there is something going on.
"Let him in." Liu Zhixing glanced at the two of them and ordered.
"Yes." The guard responded, turned around and walked out. Not long after, a Fuso warrior walked in under the watchful eyes of two guards, bent down and said a few Fuso words to Kyogoku Yuki.
After hearing this, Kyogoku Yuki's expression changed even more. He stood up and bowed to Liu Zhixing: "Liu Changshi. General Fu Han and I are just doing business and have no close friendship. You don't have to trust me, but there is one thing. Please trust me."
"I got news that Xiong Wuwo seems to be making some big moves."
