The country of Gaoshan is small and sparsely populated, with a lack of supplies, and commerce is at a very primitive level. Not to mention some decent daily necessities, even needles, threads, brains and other odds and ends need to be imported from other countries.
Since the feud between Daliang and Beidi, Gaoshan Country's purchasing channels have been cut in half, and it can only trade with Beidi Country.
The business index of Beidi is simply not comparable to that of Daliang.
Take sugar as an example. Not to mention the common people, even the nobles cannot eat it. Only some royal families of the Gaoshan Kingdom can still enjoy it, and the stock is already running low.
The caravan sent by Qin Feng was nothing more than a timely help to Gaoshan Country.
From cloth to sugar and tea, as long as Qin Feng can provide the goods, Gaoshan Country will accept them all according to the order. However, since Gaoshan Country does not produce gold and silver, they can only barter and use special livestock to pay for the goods. Such as plateau horses, sheep, yaks, etc...
However, Qin Feng was not interested in sheep and cattle at all.
Qin Feng couldn't help but snorted: "A plateau horse is asking for a thousand taels of silver? The Gaoshan country is dishonest! You can't even afford salt, wine, sugar and tea, but you still want to kill me. It seems that you think Do you have absolute say in your hands?"
Qin Feng didn't even bother to reply. He just said quietly through the curtain of the carriage door: "Bring back the thousand plateau horses that have been negotiated. As for the subsequent business, we will reject it. In addition, tell the king of the mountains that your country lacks the most basic Sincerity, after the payment is paid, our Tianji Battalion will never trade with Gaoshan Country again from now on, unless..."
"The price of a plateau horse is as low as five hundred taels of silver."
Jin Yiwei's weak voice came from outside the car curtain: "Yes."
Knowing that Qin Feng was going to cut the price of the horse in half, Jing Qianying could not help but frown slightly and worried: "Is the price too high? Even the war horse that I, Daliang, bred by myself, costs five or six hundred taels of silver. .”
Jing Qianying loves money, and her only source of income is Qin Feng, so she is extremely concerned about Qin Feng's profit and loss.
Even Xiao Xiangxiang, who knew nothing about merchants, felt that Qin Feng's move was a bit too much, and the bargaining was not so harsh. He cut the price in half in one breath. It was impossible for the high mountain king to have a temper with Qin Feng again. do business.
Xiao Xiangxiang dissuaded her in a soft voice: "Master, if the king of the high mountain country gives you a reply, what should you do? After all, only the high mountain country produces plateau horses."
Qin Feng's body collapsed and he lay directly in Xiao Xiangxiang's arms, holding the back of his head with his hands, crossing his legs, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, bargaining is normal when doing business. Now in Gaoshan Country The only trading partner is Beidi, and Beidi’s business scale is small and pitiful, and it has too much time to take care of itself, so how can it have the spare capacity to supply Gaoshan Country?”
"Haha, the high mountain king has no choice."
"Besides, even if the price is reduced to five hundred taels, Gaoshan Country will not lose. After all, we are bartering directly, eliminating the need for intermediate links. Five hundred taels of silver can be directly exchanged for materials worth five hundred taels. If I He is the king of a high mountain country, I am afraid he can wake up from his dreams with laughter."
Xiao Xiangxiang bit her thin lips lightly. Although she was full of confidence in Qin Feng, she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Qin Feng touched Xiao Xiangxiang's butt hard, and regardless of Xiao Xiangxiang's red expression, he wrote lightly: "Let's put it this way, I not only want to do business with Gaoshan Country, but also make Gaoshan Country a paradise." The camp’s exclusive war horse supplier. A small country like that doesn’t have much say in business.”
Jing Qianying and Xiao Xiangxiang looked at each other with incredible expressions in their eyes.
No matter how small the Gaoshan Country is, it is still a country.
Qin Feng actually wants to hold a country in his hands and turn Gaoshan Country into a vassal of Tianji Camp. This is tantamount to refreshing their understanding for the two of them.
Of course Qin Feng knew that his thoughts were too shocking to people of this era.
But in practice, it is not difficult. It boils down to just four words - economic colonization.
As far as Qin Feng knew, the total population of Gaoshan Country was only a few hundred thousand. In addition, it was located on a plateau, with a narrow land and few resources. This made it impossible for Gaoshan Country to grow agricultural crops and could only rely on animal husbandry. As a result, it overlapped with Beidi's animal husbandry, making Gaoshan Country's animal husbandry also uncompetitive. Most of the livestock were produced and sold by themselves.
The only animal that can be put on the table is the plateau horse.
Daliang was extremely eager for plateau horses, but was blocked by Beidi. Although Beidi horses, a specialty of Beidi, were not as majestic as plateau horses, they could not stand up to large numbers and could form a large scale, easily forming cavalry groups. As a result, the demand for plateau horses is almost negligible.
Given the embarrassing situation of Gaoshan Country, anyone who can provide stable trade channels is extremely valuable.
Although economic colonization is not a good word, Qin Feng can give Gaoshan Country stable trade channels, which is actually a win-win situation.
However, cultivating Gaoshan Country's business channels cannot be accomplished overnight, and Qin Feng is not in a hurry.
At this juncture, Qin Xiaofu's shout came from outside the door curtain.
"Master, we have arrived at the boundary of Fuyun County."
As soon as Qin Feng heard the words "Fuyun County", his head was buzzing.
In order to avoid being entangled with the Mingwang family, Qin Feng quickly stood up and reminded: "Go at full speed and cross the boundaries of Fuyun County as fast as possible. If you find any trace of the Li brothers, you must get rid of them!"
After experiencing the incident in Pingyao County, Qin Feng did not hate the Li brothers, on the contrary, he admired them very much.
Qin Feng will not be able to achieve this harsh ambition of "without meritorious service, without establishing a family business" in his life.
However, Prince Ming's family was Ni Lin, Emperor Liang.
In line with the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Qin Feng naturally hides as far away as possible, otherwise he will be embarrassed and unhappy inside and outside.
Under Qin Feng's urging, the convoy raised a puff of dust and sped along the official road.
Just as Qin Feng was about to rush out of Fuyun County, just when Qin Feng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, some unscrupulous person actually threw several tree stumps on the official road, blocking the way of the convoy.
Having no choice, Qin Xiaofu and his accompanying servants had no choice but to get out of the car, move the tree stump away, and then continue on their way without any danger.
It wasn't until he was more than ten miles away from Fuyun County that Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and lay back in Xiao Xiangxiang's arms.
Xiao Xiangxiang found it unbelievable that the young master, who had always been fearless, was as afraid of the Li brothers as a tiger. She couldn't help but ridicule: "Master, why do you feel like a mouse seeing a cat when you mention the Li brothers?"
Qin Feng smacked his lips, with a look of helplessness on his face: "These Li brothers are the broomsticks. I'm worried about getting burned."
The corners of Jing Qianying's mouth curved into a hint of schadenfreude.
