Dongcang City, meeting hall.
At noon.
"Qin Chengshou, that's not what you said. I heard rumors that Dongcang City bought these barbarian things by name. It was also to support you that I brought the caravan here all the way." An old man wearing a hat. Said, "Now that we and the goods have arrived, but you say you won't accept them, isn't our trip in vain?"
"Yes! If this is the case, we will not come to Dongcang City in the future." Another middle-aged man with a big mole at the corner of his mouth also said.
Several other people nodded.
Qin Dangguo looked at the people in front of him and frowned tightly.
These people are not the single-handed dealers like Lao Hu before, but the so-called "sitting tigers." To put it bluntly, these "sitting tigers" are second-rate dealers. They purchase barbarian items that cannot be seen in the light from various channels and send them to Daxuan for resale. The relationship network behind them involves the Daxuan court, the military and even aristocratic families.
You may not be able to get any high-quality products, but the advantage is a stable supply.
The old man wearing a small hat is called Ma Xingxian, and he is the head of the Ma family in Lanzhou. The Ma family is not a wealthy family. The mainstay of the family is just a three-character material realm scholar. However, it is said that the Ma family has good friendships with several barbarian bandit teams in the barbarian plains, so they can often obtain sufficient barbarian items.
Others have similar backgrounds, but their stalls are not as big as Ma's.
Qin Dangguo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
It was true that he had not thought carefully before and let out the news of the acquisition. According to Qin Dangguo's understanding, several small caravans nearby would take the risk to visit Dongcang City. But who would have thought that with Chen Luo's golden name, the news spread along the "Da Xuan Min Daily".
As a result, a large cart of half-blood grass that used to be traded in bundles suddenly appeared, emptying Chen Luo in an instant. Now other caravans are delivering the goods to his door, and he says he has no money and won't accept it... This is going to the small To put it bluntly, it is because Dongcang City has no strength and to entertain others, it has ruined the prestige of the Marquis; to put it more seriously, it means that it is not true to its word.
Moreover, if Dongcang City develops in the future, the support of this group of people will still be indispensable. After all, their supply of goods is stable.
But right now, there is really no money left...
Qin Dangguo had a headache. Even though he had countless strategies to govern the country and secure the country, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. What should I do if someone leaves the goods they named at the door and asks for money?
The goods are no problem!
Except for Chen Luo, Dongcang City has no replacement resources!
Otherwise, how many manuscripts should the city lord write for them?
No, no, there's no difference between exchanging manuscripts for property and selling calligraphy and paintings on the street. It's just too polite.
If word spreads, will Dongcang City still want to lose face? Do you still want the majesty of the Marquis? Do you still want the holy power of Master Bamboo Sage?
Ma Xingxian saw that Qin Dangguo had been silent. Although his face was extremely anxious, his heart was extremely happy.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly this time.
That's right, he came here for Chen Luo. When he heard that Dongcang City needed to purchase barbarian items, he immediately called his friends and led a caravan to Dongcang City.
I originally thought that this time I could only get familiar with each other, but I didn't expect that I got it at the right time.
Maybe, your idea can succeed in one go!
Ahem..." Ma Xingxian coughed twice.
"Qin Cheng Shou, I have a suggestion!" Ma Xingxian said.
Qin Dangguo's eyelids twitched. Do you want to meet him?
"In this way, since these goods are requested by name, they must be urgently needed by Dongcang City. Since we have brought all the goods, we will leave them in Dongcang City and will not take them back." Ma Xingxian said with a faint smile, "However, Marquis Wu needs to agree to one condition."
Qin Dangguo put down his tea cup: "Master Marquis's manuscript is extremely precious and cannot be..."
"No, no, no..." Ma Xingxian thought about Qin Dangguo's words, "I don't ask for the manuscript of the Marquis."
Qin Dangguo frowned slightly: "Then what do you suggest?"
Ma Xingxian laughed dryly: "In this way, everything brought by my Ma family this time will be presented to Wuhou for free."
"My Ma family also bought other friends' goods and presented them to Wuhou."
"Think of it as Shu Xiu who is apprenticed to you!"
Qin Dangguo was stunned: "Apprenticeship? Shuxiu?"
Ma Xingxian smiled and said: "My Ma family is not a scholarly family. The eldest brother in the family is an old man and has been promoted to the realm of Confucianism."
"If Marquis Wu is willing to accept a direct descendant of my Ma family as a disciple, then our Ma family will fully support Marquis Wu in his great cause of rebuilding Dongcang City!"
To have a relationship with Chen Luo is to have a relationship with Bamboo Saint. Besides, Chen Luo doesn't have any disciples yet. If he joins his sect at this time, no matter what his title is, in the eyes of others, he will be the founding disciple.
This deal is a guaranteed profit!
It's not that other aristocratic families couldn't see this relationship, but when Chen Luo was in Zhongjing, those wealthy families who were qualified to speak couldn't lose face and always wanted to wait until Chen Luo had driven another three thousand miles before talking.
That is to say, Chen Luo has just arrived in Dongcang City and has an unstable foothold. His Ma family started as a merchant and they don't care about face the most, so they seized this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ma Xingxian's eyes lit up: "Not only this time, but every year in the future, our Ma family can transport a batch of barbarian items to Dongcang City."
"How about Master Qin asking Marquis Wu for his opinion?"
…
The space in the Tomb of the Living Dead in the backyard fluctuated, and Chen Luo jumped out.
What a risk, and finally found the entrance at the last minute of the transformation effect.
Chen Luo stretched out. To be honest, he felt more comfortable under Heaven. Although Man Tian's part didn't affect him, he still felt uncomfortable.
Chen Luo did not intend to agree to Wuliangbucha's invitation at all, and even planned to kill him.
Although it is exciting to unite with the barbarians to massacre the barbarians, Wuliangbucha will definitely investigate his own background after returning to Tuogu City.
The military system of the barbarians is not as strict as that of Daxuan, but it is still possible to investigate which force collects grain from the tribes in a region. After going back and forth like this, wouldn't Wuliangbucha know that he is not a grain collector at all?
Well, let’s get out of the limelight first.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Luo heard an argument coming from the main hall.
…
"How about Master Qin asking Marquis Wu for his opinion?" As soon as Ma Xingxian finished speaking, Chen Luo's voice came from the back courtyard——
"No!"
Everyone looked sideways and saw Chen Luo walking into the political hall from the back court with his hands behind his back. Everyone stood up and saluted.
"I've seen Wuhou!"
"I've met the Marquis!"
"I've met the Lord of the City!"
…
Chen Luo waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. He sat on the main seat and looked at Ma Xingxian: "Old man, do you want me to accept your children as my disciples?"
Ma Xingxian quickly stood up and saluted: "Old Ma Xingxian, I have the audacity to have some delusions. I wonder if the Ma family is so lucky?"
Chen Luo smiled lightly: "I am still young and have no plans to accept disciples!"
Ma Xingxian wanted to say something else, but Chen Luo raised his hand to interrupt Ma Xingxian: "Let's talk about things one by one. Let's talk about the goods first."
Chen Luo looked at Qin Dangguo: "City Guard, do they have a bill of goods?"
Qin Dangguo nodded quickly and handed over a piece of paper, which recorded the goods and quantities brought by the Ma family and others this time. Chen Luo took the goods list and looked at it.
Ma Xingxian quickly explained: "Master Hou, the goods we brought this time are all the items we need according to the news passed down by Qin Chengshou. Now in the cold winter, except for us, it may be difficult to have such a supply of goods. "
Chen Luo nodded and put down the cargo list: "I really want these things, but it's a pity that we can't get these goods now."
"But because of the silver issue? As long as Mr. Hou..."
Chen Luo waved his hand: "It's not about the silver. It's because you came late... We in Dongcang City have too many of these things."
"There is no need for any more acquisitions."
As soon as Chen Luo said this, everyone was stunned. Even Qin Dangguo looked at Chen Luo in surprise.
Ma Xingxian frowned slightly: "Master Hou is joking... As far as I know, Hu Leshan seems to be the only one who has brought a cart and a half of blood grass, right?"
"Forget it, since the Marquis has spoken in person, it seems that I have overestimated my ability. Let's take the goods back and say goodbye!" Ma Xingxian cupped his hands, and the others also stood up and saluted, planning to leave with Ma Xingxian.
Qin Dangguo looked at Chen Luo anxiously. If he refused so bluntly, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do business in Dongcang City in the future.
"Everyone, wait a minute." Chen Luo said.
"I, Chen Luo, am not the kind of person who just entertains others perfunctorily. Since you don't believe me, let me show you whether I, Dongcang City, have these goods?"
Chen Luo said and walked directly to the front of the meeting hall. Ma Xingxian also followed behind Chen Luo in confusion.
Chen Luo took out the storage order and patted it twice. Suddenly, the square in front of the meeting hall was filled with all kinds of supplies, and a unique aura of barbarian spiritual materials came to his face.
"This...is this wild blood grass? Oh my God, this is wild blood grass that was pulled out within three days. It's several times better than what we brought."
"Blood Shadow Fruit? Lord Marquis, how did you get such a large amount of Blood Shadow Fruit? Can you sell me two hundred, no, one hundred, I will buy them at a high price!"
"Luo Feng Flower! It's Luo Feng Hua! This is the main material of Luo Feng Dan. Only certain tribes can grow it. I haven't received a hundred flowers after harvesting for a year, but here... there are no less than ten thousand flowers!"
"Master Ma, come and see if this is the meat and bones of a hump beast? My saint, even the elite barbarians can only eat this hump beast meat once every seven days. Mr. Marquis, who are you... ...I am the one who talks too much. Lord Marquis, how about selling me a hundred catties? I will exchange all the goods I brought this time!"
Looking at the densely packed barbarian spiritual materials in the square in front of the hall, only two people were stunned and motionless.
One is Master Qin. He doesn’t know where his city lord got so many barbarian spiritual materials. There are so many, why do you want me to buy them?
I'm a great prime minister, but I have to bargain with these merchants every day, and I'm not clean anymore!
angry!
The other one is Ma Xingxian. Based on his experience, the moment these spiritual materials appeared, he knew that these were barbarian spiritual materials of excellent quality.
Often only the military tribute to the Khan tribe can have such appearance.
Could it be that the Marquis robbed the barbarian's grain transport team?
What a joke!
Ma Xingxian swallowed. Compared with the barbarian spiritual materials all over the ground, the goods they brought were nothing to mention.
I am still wishful thinking.
After all, the Ma family's vision is too low, and they don't even know what it means to be a saint.
Ma Xingxian sighed and bowed deeply to Chen Luo: "It's the Ma family who are reckless, trying to use a little profit to gain wealth. I admit my mistake like the Marquis."
"The Ma family has the right to make amends with these goods!"
Ma Xingxian sighed, stood up, and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Chen Luo again.
"Mr. Ma, wait!"
"There will be a martial arts academy in Dongcang City, and I will personally serve as the mountain chief!"
"If there are disciples in the Ma family who are willing to take up martial arts, they can come and give it a try."
"The students in the martial arts academy are all my disciples."
Ma Xingxian was stunned, looked at Chen Luo, and after a while, he bowed to the end again: "If the martial arts academy needs it, the Ma family will do its best!"
Chen Luo smiled faintly.
Leader get!
