This is how business is done, whether it is courtesy first and then attack, or the broken window effect, in the final analysis it is all about assessing the situation.
Qin Chao, who was acting like a mad dog a moment ago, now bowed his hands to Lord Gao Shan.
"The king is wise. I believe that the business between Tianji Camp and Gaoshan Country will go smoothly. In the words of my young master, if we all make money together, a win-win situation is the real win."
The king of Gaoshan and the civil and military officials present were all surprised.
Is it possible that everyone in Tianji camp is so... shameless?
but……
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Among all the countries in the north, which one has not heard of the name of Tianji Camp?
The little-known Tianji Camp in the past has gradually become the leading business organization in Daliang.
Moreover, the Tianji Battalion has been supporting the fierce battle between Beixi County and Beidi Pioneers on its own. Not only has there been no sign of collapse, but it has become stronger with each passing day.
The hard bones that Beidi couldn't chew off were enough to prove the strength of Tianji Camp.
But the world only knows one, but not the other.
The Tianji Battalion alone supported a border war, which was an unprecedented feat.
While supporting the war, there was still room for sending caravans through Beidi's numerous blockades to carry out business to Gaoshan Country.
Recently, there are rumors that Tianjiying is making many preparations. It is not only expanding the city, but also operating the sugar production area, and making commercial layout in the Jiangnan area, the richest area in Daliang.
In terms of comprehensive strength, the hard power of just one Tianji camp may have exceeded that of the entire Gaoshan Kingdom.
The king of Gaoshan was shocked, but at the same time, he was even more excited.
If we can become Tianjiying's partner, and what Qin Chao calls a 'strategic partner', it will be great news for the future development of Gaoshan Country and domestic demand.
The King of Gaoshan thought for a moment and asked Qin Chao and other Tianjiying merchants to exit the tent first, saying that he wanted to discuss it with the ministers first.
When there were no outsiders in the tent, Mr. Gao Shan no longer had any scruples and asked quickly: "What do you all think, dear friends?"
The general protecting the country, wearing the unique cold-resistant armor of the Gaoshan Kingdom, stepped forward directly and shouted: "This must not be done!"
"The merchants of Tianji camp spoke rudely to the king, and they clearly did not take our Gaoshan country seriously. Even though our Gaoshan country is a small country in the north, it still has national integrity. How can we allow others to insult us like this?"
"I feel that all the Tianji camp merchants should be executed as a warning! Although the Tianji camp guards are fierce outside, they are few in number and cannot travel long distances to our mountain country. No matter how angry Qin Feng's son is, they are beyond the reach of the whip and there is nothing we can do! Even if it does come, I still have the confidence to kill all Qin Feng’s men!”
The king of Gaoshan had no doubts about the words of the general who protected the country.
After all, fighting on the plateau, looking at all the surrounding countries, no one can take advantage of the high mountain country.
No matter how fierce the Tianji camp guards are, they will all turn into wilting eggplants beaten by frost once they reach the high mountain country.
At this moment, the minister of household affairs, who had the most fierce argument with Qin Chao before, strongly opposed the proposal of the general who protected the country.
"Absolutely not!"
"The general thinks that the merchants of Tianji Camp are vulgar, but he doesn't know that whether it is a negotiation between the two countries' envoys or a commercial cooperation, it is always such a quarrel. If you are humble and gentle, and talk calmly, how can you seek benefits for yourself? Only the general Only when the other party is frightened can we take the initiative."
"The conditions provided by Tianji Camp are not generous, but they are what our Gaoshan Country needs most urgently now."
"Don't worry about the rudeness of the Tianji Camp merchants. We should be pragmatic."
The King of Gaoshan nodded, and expressed great appreciation for the remarks made by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He sighed softly: "Although this statement is insulting to the country's prestige, it is true. Our Gaoshan country... is a small country with few people. If we only want to have food and clothing, Just herd herds, but how is that any different from being a barbarian?”
"If you want to become a country of etiquette and music, you will inevitably have to rely on a big country. But now Beidi and Daliang are at odds with each other, and the Gaoshan Kingdom is caught in the middle. It is difficult to guarantee even the minimum living supplies. The merchants of Jiying that day are talking arrogantly, but they are not counted. Fake, the tea drunk by the nobles of the high mountain country is not as good as the tea froth that the handyman gargles."
Although the general protecting the country knew the plight of Gaoshan Country, he was still worried.
After pondering for a moment, he said softly: "Our Gaoshan country borders Beidi. If this matter is exposed, Beidi will definitely attack us! Even if we rely on the terrain and the strength of the whole country, I am afraid...it will not last as long as one Beixi County."
Lord Gaoshan nodded: "I have also considered this matter. Since Tianjiying wants to do business with our Gaoshan Kingdom, this matter should not be worried about by our Gaoshan Kingdom. Clearing up business routes is the most basic sincerity of Tianjiying."
Having said this, the general protecting the country stopped talking.
Later, the king of Gaoshan called Qin Chao into the tent.
"Our mountain country is rich in plateau horses, cattle, and sheep. Plateau horses can be used as war horses, and the beef and mutton are also extremely delicious. Except for the plateau horses, which are five hundred taels each, the prices for cattle and sheep are the same as normal. And there is no cash. Silver can only be bartered. The necessary tea, sugar, salt, cloth, porcelain, etc.... This is the bottom line of our Gaoshan country."
Before Qin Chao left Beixi County, he was 'received' by Li Xiaolan, who specifically reminded Qin Chao that if the business was concluded, he should be treated with the highest courtesy to the king of the mountains.
Qin Chao was also specially taught some royal etiquette.
Qin Chao immediately stretched out his arms, slowly closed his hands in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and looked completely different from the ruffian before, like a scholar-official: "Your Majesty is wise, and foreign ministers should report this matter truthfully. Give it to my son. If Gaoshan Country and Tianjiying can achieve a strategic cooperative relationship, Tianjiying will regard Gaoshan Country as a first-class relationship and fully support all construction of Gaoshan Country."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chao knelt down on his knees and gave a five-body prostrating salute to the king of the mountain.
Seeing this situation, the face of the king of Gaoshan was bright, and even the army protecting the country beside him showed no anger at all.
I thought to myself, this is pretty much it.
At the same time, Tangqi in Jiangnan.
Wang Ji's boss, Wang Cheng, who was over fifty years old, hurriedly rushed into the Lin Mansion and shouted hysterically: "Please, head of the Lin family, seek justice! Qin Feng, your son, sent troops to rob food. How can there be anyone in this world?" Jurisprudence?!”
The head of the Lin family did not show up, but the old butler with gray hair on his temples walked out slowly on crutches.
Yun Danfeng asked lightly: "Sent troops to seize food? Why did Wang Dong's family come to my Lin family instead of going to Tangqi County Yamen to file a complaint?"
Wang Cheng gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid the county government won't dare to take care of this matter. Only the Lin family can uphold justice."
The old housekeeper smiled meaningfully: "You haven't given me a penny, so you're robbing?"
