"It's too expensive. Isn't it too expensive for you?"
As soon as the price of these drawings came out, Xiao Jing's eyes widened, and he almost didn't let the price of these drawings go away.
Although I have known for a long time that the price of drawings is very high, it really is not that high!
Mi Yuan was not surprised by Xiao Jing's reaction. He patiently explained:
"My price is actually not high. After all, the grade is very high, very rare, and the function is very strong, which will greatly help the development of the territory..."
Xiao Jing let out a long sigh. Of course he knew that these architectural drawings were rare and would be of great help to the development of the territory, but... he had no money!
There are only 1,377 units of Qinghe Wine left in the treasury of Da Liu Town. Even if the exchange price is 2 gold per unit, it is only 2,754 gold. Except for the Yellow Turban Soldiers Camp, you can't buy any of them.
But, the Yellow Turban Warriors?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing asked: "The Yellow Turban Force Soldier Camp? Isn't the imperial court severely cracking down on the Yellow Turbans? This..."
When Mi Yuan heard this, he knew what Xiao Jing was thinking, so he said indifferently: "Hey, what's this? This is a serious trophy..."
Seeing Mi Yuan's attitude, Xiao Jing was a little bit tongue-tied, and at the same time he felt a little envious in his heart. Is this a family with background and connections?
Unlike him, even if there is a Yellow Turban barracks that wants to be sold, it can only be done secretly for fear of not being able to explain clearly...
Shaking her head and suppressing the unnecessary thoughts in her heart, Xiao Jing looked at the five drawings shown by Mi Yuan.
To be honest, except for the Yellow Turban Lux drawing, he wanted everything else...
But no money...
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said to Mi Yuan: "Chief Mi, I'm very satisfied with this drawing, but it's just the price..."
Hearing this, Mi Yuan showed a hint of vigilance in his eyes, interrupted Xiao Jing's words, and said: "Master Xiao, this price is already very fair and there is no need to discuss it. If it drops again, I will really lose a lot of money..."
Xiao Jing touched the tip of his nose and said helplessly, "Chief Mi, I don't want to lower the price, but I really don't have enough Qinghe wine (money)!"
"My idea is to hand over this batch of Qinghe wine to you first in exchange for the drawings I want. I will make up for the remaining shortfall when Qinghe wine is produced..."
Mi Yuan frowned as he listened and asked, "Master Xiao, how much Qinghe wine do you have in your hand?"
"Unit 1377!"
…
Regarding Xiao Jing's proposal, Mi Yuan's first thought was that it was unreliable.
Although, on the way to Da Liu Town, he had heard about Xiao Jing's reputation and knew that his reputation was gradually rising in Shanwu City.
But he is a businessman, and weighing interests always comes first!
If Qinghe Wine hadn't been blessed with the gift of helping him get in touch with Governor Shangtao, how would he have come up with his rare architectural drawings...
You must know that high-grade architectural drawings, like secret books and strategy books (books such as Thirty-Six Stratagems that provide a probability of understanding strategy), can measure the existence of a family's heritage...
Thinking of this, Mi Yuan showed a trace of apology on his face and said: "Master Xiao, otherwise, I will still buy Qinghe wine with money, just 2 gold/unit, I will never bargain!"
Xiao Jing frowned slightly when he heard this, but thinking of Mi Yuan's identity as a merchant, he started to scheme again and said:
"Chief Mi, I won't say much. I'm interested in your high-end tavern blueprint. In addition to paying you 1,377 units of Qinghe wine first, I will also pay you 200 units of Qinghe wine every month for one year, for a total of 3,777 units of Qinghe wine. ,how?"
3777 units of Qinghe wine, worth 7554 gold, far exceeding the price of 5500 gold in a high-end tavern.
Mi Yuan's heart is moved!
After hesitating for a while, thinking of Xiao Jing's reputation in Shanwu City and the fact that he really needed Qinghe wine, he nodded and agreed.
After reaching a deal with Mi Yuan! Mi Yuan smiled and handed the high-end tavern blueprint to Xiao Jing and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for getting what you wanted!"
Xiao Jing was also in a good mood. He took the drawing of the high-end tavern with a hint of excitement on his face, "Congratulations!"
Mi Yuan nodded.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Mi Yuan decided to return to Donghai County after getting the batch of Qinghe wine.
Of course, although Mi Yuan left, Mi's caravan stayed and stationed in the primary market of Da Liu Town to facilitate contact with Xiao Jing.
It has to be said that Mi Yuan felt that he had made a profit from this transaction, and Xiao Jing also felt that he had made a profit! And he still made a lot of money.
Let's not talk about how much tax revenue the caravan stationed at the primary market of Daliu Town can provide to Daliu Town every month. Just being associated with the wealthy Han Dynasty 'Mi' will make a lot of money.
You know, the Mi family's caravan has traveled all over the world. How huge is the relationship between having such a family business? Of course, this relationship is a business relationship, which is far inferior to that of the "Yuan Family" with its four generations and countless disciples, but it is enough for the current Xiao Jing.
"If I had met this Mi earlier, why would I need to seduce the Qiu family's manager? Meeting Governor Ding might just be a matter of words!"
Xiao Jing shook her head and thought to herself.
Of course, this kind of thought only passed by for a moment. After all, the price to be paid by the 'Mi family' might be even higher.
"In the future, since the entire Mi family will support Liu Bei, it means that the Mi family's situation is not good and has reached the point where it has to change. I don't know if I will be able to get investment from the Mi family by then..." Xiao Jing thought to himself, But he was interested in the Mi family property...
After all, the world's richest man, 'Mi', has so much wealth, it's a bit exciting to think about it...
After coming back to her senses, Xiao Jing looked at the time.
The sun was setting and it was already evening.
The Mayor's Mansion of Daliu Town has a front and backyard. The front part is where the mayor, "three elders" and other officials usually handle cases, and the backyard is where the mayor lives his daily life.
Xiao Jing and Mi Yuan met in the backyard, and the meeting was relatively private.
After the meeting ended, Xiao Jing stretched, left the backyard and came to the front house.
Although the night is getting darker, the mayor's mansion is still brightly lit, and many civil servants are still hard at work.
Of course, don't get me wrong, Xiao Jing is not squeezing civil servants. In fact, these civil servants can "get off work" before sunset, but these civil servants are now voluntarily "working overtime".
After all, maybe their boss Niu Yang would not pay much attention to them if they voluntarily "worked overtime", but if they did not "work overtime", they would definitely be remembered by Niu Yang, their immediate boss.
Which is more important, they still understand!
These civil servants are all Niu Yang's subordinates. They were usually responsible for the father-in-law's punishment, etiquette and law. However, due to the shortage of people, they are now simply brought over by Niu Yang to "statistic", "verify" taxes, and concentrate on "tax collection". Measure each farmer's tax and grain, etc.
"Lord!!!"
Seeing Xiao Jing's arrival, many civil servants bowed respectfully. Niu Yang, the head of the case, even hurried to Xiao Jing's side and bowed.
"My lord, can you negotiate good terms with that Mi family?" he asked.
Xiao Jing nodded, looked back at the civil servants who were working hard, and asked casually: "Have you ever encountered any problems with taxation?"
Xiao Jing originally just asked casually, but unexpectedly Niu Yang actually said seriously: "I was about to report this matter to the lord!"
