"sit!"
Xiao Jing motioned to the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt in front of him to sit down.
He is the leader of the Mi family's caravan stationed in the primary market of Daliu Town this time, and it was he who requested to see Xiao Jing.
"Thank you, Lord Mayor!!"
Mi Yuan bowed his hands and sat down without being too polite.
Mi's caravan has traveled all over the world. Of course, this is only talking about the big towns. This is the first time he has entered a small place like Daliu Town.
If it weren't for the increasingly famous 'Qinghe Wine', he would never pay attention to such a small town.
Yes, although Daliu Town has developed well and has a place in Shanwu City, in Mi Yuan's eyes, it is not much different from a small town.
It was the unique 'aphrodisiac' effect of the specialty 'Qinghe Wine' that attracted Mi's attention. Otherwise, how could they settle in such a small town?
However, Mi Yuan was a little surprised after seeing Xiao Jing.
He didn't expect that the mayor of Daliu Town was so young.
"Lord Mayor, you must already know the purpose of our trip. We are only here to buy the Qinghe wine. Please set a price and I will never talk back!"
Not long after he sat down, Mi Yuan, who had a somewhat impatient personality, spoke up, getting straight to the point and speaking boldly.
It sounds a bit loud, but Mi has the qualifications! The world's richest people are not just talk about it casually!
Hearing this, Xiao Jing smiled, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Da Liu Town is not short of money!"
Indeed, Daliu Town does not lack small money, but what it lacks is big money. Recruitment and construction, which do not require money?
Moreover, rather than money, he wanted some rare and rare architectural drawings.
Previously, shortly after capturing Da Liu Town, he sent some caravans from Da Liu Town to Ping City, a city adjacent to Shanwu City, in order to purchase some architectural drawings.
But he didn't expect that there were almost no architectural drawings in the Pingcheng market. The only remaining buildings with drawings were ridiculously expensive. A gray-grade 'fishing ground' that was of no use could cost 100 gold. Can you believe it? !
In addition, although Pingcheng was not surrounded by the Yellow Turbans like Zenmu Castle, the situation was not much better, so the matter of 'purchasing the blueprints' was dropped.
It wasn't until today that Mi's caravan arrived that he started thinking about it again... He wanted to take the opportunity to buy some high-quality architectural drawings.
Mi Yuan was a little surprised. This big man still had a mayor who was not short of money?
Although he thought so in his heart, Mi Yuan still couldn't help but show a bit of anxiety on his face, and said hurriedly: "Mayor Xiao, why don't you listen to my quotation? I will definitely satisfy you!"
Before Xiao Jing could speak, he said, "How about 5,000 coppers/jin (unit)?"
5,000 copper coins/unit! ! ! Xiao Jing clicked her tongue a little, is this a 'rich person'? And looking at the relaxed look on his face, 5,000 copper coins/unit seems to be far from his limit.
Work hard, maybe 10,000 copper coins/unit is nothing to him!
"10,000 copper coins, how about 10,000 copper coins/unit?"
Seeing that Xiao Jing was a little unmoved, Mi Yuan immediately spoke and doubled the amount.
Of course, although Mi is rich, he is not a fool. There are reasons why Mi Yuan is willing to offer high prices.
"We have to get Qinghe wine, as long as we can make good friends with Governor Tao and get some money!" He thought to himself.
In Xuzhou, not long ago, due to the raging Yellow Turbans, county officials failed to take precautions in time, and there was some turmoil in the officialdom.
Even the patriarch of the Mi family who was the chief secretary of the Governor's Mansion suffered a lot and spent a lot of money to get out of it, but he still got a lot of trouble.
The former governor of Donghai County was angered by the governor for neglecting his duties. He wrote a memorial to the court to remove him from his post as governor and appoint a new governor.
The newly appointed county governor, whose surname is Tao and whose given name is Qian, is a mature, alcoholic and beauty-loving man.
Therefore, in order to make friends with Governor Tao, Mi's caravan went to various places to buy fine wine, and Mi Yuan was just one of them.
"However, the current situation is becoming more and more turbulent. The ministers in the court are constantly fighting with the eunuchs. Yellow turbans are everywhere in the Han Dynasty. The Mi family who has accumulated huge wealth does not know where to go in the future." Thinking of this, Mi Yuan sighed in his heart, but became more determined to win the 'Qinghe Wine'.
After all, the unique aphrodisiac effect of Qinghe wine is too attractive to some people.
For Mr. Mi, this is not wine, it is clearly a unique 'gift'!
To be honest, Xiao Jing was a little tempted by the offer of 10,000 copper coins (1 tael of gold) per unit. I don't blame him for being greedy for money, it's just that he was too generous...
But after thinking about it, he finally refused and said:
"I can sell Qinghe wine, but I only accept architectural drawings in exchange for Qinghe wine, and the price of Qinghe wine is 2 taels of gold per unit!"
Hearing this, Mi Yuan showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and at the same time he was also a little annoyed.
He secretly thought that Xiao Jing didn't appreciate praise and was too greedy, but thinking about Mi's troubled situation, he suppressed his anger and began to think about Xiao Jing's suggestions.
He has a lot of architectural drawings in his hands, but the architectural drawings in his hands are of great value. They were originally used to make friends with aristocratic families and build relationships.
Although Qinghe wine is also very valuable, at the price of 2 taels of gold per unit, he always feels like he is losing money!
After hesitating for a while, Mi Yuan was unwilling to leave empty-handed. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Mayor Xiao, is this price..."
Xiao Jing shook his head and said: "You and I know the value of this Qinghe wine very well. The price is not negotiable, but..."
Saying that, Xiao Jing paused, looked at Mi Yuan, and continued: "If you have the architectural drawings that I urgently need, the price can still be reduced!"
Seeing that there seemed to be no need for negotiation, plus he really needed to win over Governor Tao and stabilize Donghai County, Mi's stronghold, and the Qinghe wine had unique effects and perfectly met Governor Tao's needs.
Therefore, Mi Yuan just hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile:
"Mayor Xiao, a hundred times of hearing is better than seeing it. When I saw it today, Mayor Xiao shocked me. As the mayor, he is even smarter than me, a businessman..."
Shaking his head, he continued: "That's all, I'm going to suffer some losses. These are the architectural drawings I have in my hand. Mr. Xiao, take a look, is there anything you're satisfied with?"
As he spoke, he carefully took out four or five crumpled drawings from his arms.
Xiao Jing saw it and quickly stepped forward to take a look.
A high-level cavalry barracks blueprint (blue): price 9,000 gold
A blueprint of the Yellow Turban Soldier Camp (yellow): price 800 gold
A high-end private school drawing (blue): price 3500 gold
A high-end tavern blueprint (blue): price 5500 gold
The last blueprint is not complete, but rather incomplete. The blueprint of the famous Vine Armor Soldier (broken, purple): the price is a terrifying 15,000 gold.
