Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 87: Visitor

   Zhou Yi and Liu Yan accompanied Babu into the naturalization city. Liu Yan didn't understand aboriginal language and didn't speak much. After receiving the messenger from Fulimet, he accompanied Zhou Yi and returned to the city wall to continue patrolling.

   After Zhou Yi entered the city, he introduced the prosperity of Guihua City to Babu.

  "Please look at the messenger, this is a bank in your country. You can exchange gold coins for banknotes in your country. By the way, you can only use banknotes in your country in this city, and other currency stores in your country don't recognize it."

   "This is a restaurant. It is a shop that provides meals and wine for guests. I will be here to meet your envoy tonight."

   "This is a tavern, which sells all kinds of fine wines from the country. This is a cloth shop, which sells fine cloths from the country. This is..."

   Zhou Yi introduced it all the way. Sometimes Babu would enter the store to take a look when he was interested. When they walked to the official mansion, which was only one kilometer away from the city gate, several hours had passed.

   After the official hall was seated in order, the recruited waiter finished the tea. Zhou Yi held up the teacup and gestured to Babu for tea. He took a sip first.

   swallowed the tea in his mouth, Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Your Excellency, this is a kind of drink in this country called'tea', which is a good thing that cannot be bought in the market."

   Babu looked at the few leaves in the exquisite ceramic tea cup and the pale green water, and looked at Zhou Yi's enjoyment. He hesitated, and the scholar Zhou Yi took a sip.

   When Babu drank this so-called "tea" drink close to his mouth, he regretted it. Although this bitter taste was not as bitter as the anti-epidemic Chinese medicine he had ever drunk, it was not something he could bear.

Babu endured the bitterness in his mouth and swallowed forcibly, he was relieved immediately, and couldn't help but arrange in his heart: "Why do these people like Xia people like bitter things? The medicine used to prevent the plague in the past, and what kind of drink is now? It's all bitter."

   If it weren’t for the salty salt that Xia Guo sold was normal salty, and those spirits like clear water, Babu would almost think that these Xia Guo people would have no other taste except bitterness.

But after Bab swallowed the tea in his mouth, the sweet aftertaste in the mouth made him couldn’t help but look at the cup on the tea table next to him. This was the first time he saw such a charming business. He has the urge to have another bite.

   "Haha~! Is the messenger still satisfied?" Careful Zhou Yi watched Babu's performance the whole time, and laughed twice.

"Hmm~" Seeing Zhou Yi's laugh, Babu no longer touched the teacup, but started talking about business: "Your Excellency, this time I brought fifty thousand young and strong slaves. Sell ​​it to you Xia Guo."

   "Oh? How are you going to sell the messenger?" Zhou Yi knew that the other party had brought so many slaves to Xia Guo's desperate need not for the sake of selling money.

   Babu heard Zhou Yi’s question and immediately replied: "This country needs Xia Guo's support, and we need all food, weapons, and equipment!"

   "Support? Weapons? Food? Your Excellency, our country is adhering to the path of peaceful development. It is logically impossible to sell weapons and equipment to the outside world."

   After Zhou Yi said this, he saw Babu's anxious expression, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, and he continued: "But Fulimet is a friendly neighbor of this country, and the necessary support is still needed."

"Thank you, sir!" As soon as Babu heard the nonsense of the person in front of him, he wanted to interject. Who knew that the other party turned his head, he directly thanked him and asked: "I don't know what Xia Guo's support is. ?"

   "The messenger is not in a hurry, let's discuss the price of these young laborers first." Zhou Yi picked up the teacup and took another sip, not in a hurry so that Babu couldn't figure out his thoughts.

   Babu heard Zhou Yi still discussing the price, and wondered: "The price? Isn't it a gold coin and four young slaves?"

   "To be precise, one or two summer coins per person." Because gold coins are different in type, their weight and fineness are also different, so Zhou Yi cautiously corrected the other party's words.

   Regardless of the other party’s doubts, Zhou Yi then replied: “This price is for labor who only sells money, but what your country wants is the support of your own country. Of course, the price is different.”

   After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Babu scolded a "profite businessman" secretly. But who told him to ask for help, he could only helplessly say: "Then what is the price of support?"

  Bab is from the family of financial officers. He has been in contact with the methods of business negotiation since he was a child. He gave up the initiative when he knew this.

   When he came, Babu wanted to use the young and strong slaves Xia State urgently needed in order to raise the price. Who knows, in a few words, the initiative is controlled by the people of Xia State.

   In fact, what Babu didn't know was that when the fifty thousand slaves set off for Xia Country, the initiative was no longer in their hands. If the talks were not made, he would not be able to return long distances again.

   Don't say that he didn't think about this result at the beginning, even if he wanted to take these slaves back, he didn't bring enough food.

"Let's do it." Zhou Yi did not directly answer Babu's question, but said an exchange method: "If 50,000 laborers stay, this country can provide your country with 3,000 sets of exquisite equipment and 3,000 people with food for half a year. Messenger Sir, how do you think?"

Babu did not answer Zhou Yi right away, but secretly calculated ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Three thousand people's food for half a year, based on two catties of food per person per day, one hundred and ninety days in half a year, a total of 100 One hundred and four hundred thousand catties of grain, the market price of each catty of grain is ten copper coins (in the war era, the price has risen), then the total is 11.4 million copper coins, that is, one thousand and forty gold coins. According to the calculation of one or two summer coins per slave, one gold coin can be exchanged for two or two summer coins, and fifty thousand young and strong slaves can exchange a total of fifty thousand summer coins, or 25,000 gold coins.

With this calculation, Bab was suddenly shocked. Even if the price of support is doubled, the price of food is only 2,280 gold coins, which is more than ten times away from the number of 25,000, let alone. Say that even if the price increases, it is impossible to reverse the increase, right?

   Could it be that the so-called "exquisite" equipment supported by Xia Guo is as high as seven gold coins per set? What kind of weapons and equipment are so expensive? You can buy ten sets of common weapons and equipment.

So after completing the calculation, Babu shook his head again and again: "Your Excellency, this price would not have been accepted. The quantity is too small. The envoy thought that Xia Guo would provide 10,000 weapons and equipment and 10,000 food for half a year. Row."

   Zhou Yi didn't say much about Babu's bargaining, but only smiled slightly.

   "Your Excellency, I'm afraid you don't know what kind of weapons and equipment your country provides, right?" Zhou Yi did not bargain, but talked about weapons and equipment.
