Pretending not to know: "A slaughtered... hen? Haha, I don't know what King Kang means by this. Bei Mo really wants to promote this cooperation and save the people of the two places from the war..."
Shen Tang raised his hand and interrupted his wheel.
Moral kidnapping can only kidnap moral people, but she calls herself barbaric and has no morals, so she is even less likely to be kidnapped.
"I am here to speak openly to the envoy, and I also hope that the envoy can be more sincere and less cunning and calculating. The envoy might as well go to the people and ask a random farmer if they are willing to use the price of eggs to make money. Sell you hens that keep laying eggs? Will you? No! After all, I am not stupid, and the farmers are not stupid. Does the messenger think I will be stupid?"
Wu Yuan: "If Lord Kang is not satisfied with the price, Wu is willing to show the greatest sincerity within his authority. The price -"
Shen Tang interrupted him: "It's not the price, it has nothing to do with the price. This kind of high-yield grain, in any country with a stable political situation, is a trump card that tens of thousands of elites cannot buy! No matter how sincere Beimo is, I will Bian also needs to take precautions before it happens. The main reason to blame is that there are too many records of bleeding in the Northern Desert. If you keep your own grain, hoard it for a few years and then raise troops to go south..."
Wu Yuan's scalp was slightly numb.
The smile added a bit of stiffness that was visible to the naked eye.
"This can't happen."
Shen Tang said: "Nothing in this world will definitely happen. In order to reassure me and to respond to the kindness of the King of the Northern Desert Royal Court, grain seeds can be sold, and the ones sold are the most productive grain seeds, but - It can only be planted once."
Wu Yuan took a deep breath.
Which crop seeds can only be planted once?
Beimo was willing to buy seeds at a high price, naturally in order to stabilize planting and help Beimo overcome the last material problem. But Shen Tang used such an outrageous method to trick him! But Wu Yuan couldn't take action yet, lest Shen Tang change his mind again.
Shen Tang explained to Wu Yuan with a smile.
"Messenger, don't be angry. In fact, I am doing this for the good of the Northern Desert. Farmers with some farming experience know that the higher the crop yield, the higher the fertility required by the soil. If the fertility of the field cannot keep up, no matter how good the quality of the grain is, No matter how high the yield is, there will never be a bumper harvest. Once grain is cultivated, the fields need to be left fallow or rotated to give the fields time to recover their fertility."
There are also good farmers in the Northern Desert.
If Shen Tang didn't say anything and asked Wu Yuan to go back with grain seeds, with Bei Mo's behavior, they would most likely not cultivate on a large area. They would most likely set aside an area for trial planting to see the effect - Shen Tang warned Bei Mo. The desert and the northern desert are not stupid either.
As long as they try planting, those experienced farmers will find something wrong - the yield is high, but it consumes too much fertility of the field.
This kind of grain is too overbearing. If you plant it for three or four rounds, once the fertility cannot keep up, there will be no harvest in the fourth year, and the field will be abandoned. The area of cultivated land in the Northern Desert is not larger than that in Guan Nei, and there is not much land suitable for farming. The top management of Mo Mo will definitely be cautious.
She sells disposable grain seeds for the betterment of the Northern Desert.
Furthermore——
Shen Tang was not afraid that the big customers would be scared away, and continued to output: "These high-yielding grain seeds have been treated with special secret methods, which are the highest secrets of Kang State. You can't have your cake and eat it too. In order to obtain the characteristics of high-yielding seeds, , I can only sacrifice the ability of the seeds to be passed down stably. I have to sell the hens, but these hens are really special..."
Wu Yuan's expression didn't change much.
But looking at the details, it has been stretched a lot.
His eyes fluctuated, as if he was weighing whether Shen Tang's words were true or false. After all, politicians' mouths are full of lies.
Shen Tang saw his reaction in his eyes: "Is the envoy doubting why I am confessing this? Of course it is because of the word 'integrity' - a person cannot stand without faith, a business cannot prosper without faith, and a country cannot prosper without faith. The first time Kang Guo founded the country was to cooperate with the Northern Desert, and we need to make a good start. If this is done, the neighboring countries will naturally be willing to believe in Kang Guo, so why worry about the failure of all industries? "
If businessmen trumpet the advantages of their products and hesitate to discuss the disadvantages, even the most popular industries will go bankrupt.
After Wu Yuan heard this, his face turned blue and white.
After all, Beimo's business reputation is even worse than Shiwu's.
It's hard to say that Shen Tang's words were not directed at Sang and Huai.
He secretly exhaled a filthy breath, took a deep breath for mental preparation, forced out an unnatural smile, and said in admiration: "Kang Guozhu's mind, Wu Mou admired him so much."
Regardless of how true or false Shen Tang's words were, the fact that the other party was willing to talk about all kinds of shortcomings instead of using them to harm Bei Mo was indeed beyond Wu Yuan's expectations. If he were Shen Tang, he would have wished Bei Mo was excited. If you buy it back, you'll screw yourself.
remind?
Why remind?
You and I are deceitful, you die and I live, it is only natural.
Wu Yuan changed the subject, and there was a bit of tangle and embarrassment between his brows: "It's just that we didn't know in advance that the grain has these disadvantages. Wu is not good at it, and the purchase needs to be discussed with several staff members... I hope that Lord Kang will I can understand.”
Shen Tang smiled and said: "This is natural."
The look in Wu Yuan's eyes seemed to be looking at the prey that was already in the bag: "Benevolence and righteousness remain in the business, so the messenger does not need to worry too much."
"Thank you Lord Kang!"
Wu Yuan bowed deeply and bowed.
Although he was traveling in a light carriage, he was, after all, a powerful prince in the Northern Desert, and he had all the attendants and staff he should have. They gathered together and discussed in whispers for more than an hour. Gong Cheng sat outside with his arms folded. Yes, not involved.
He doesn't care about all the decisions made in Beimo.
From time to time there were fierce quarrels inside.
These staff members were obviously divided into two groups.
One group supports the purchase of disposable grain seeds. There is too little food resources in the Northern Desert. Now Shen Tang is not easy to talk to. Although there is an intention to let go of the trade, there will definitely be more lions in the future. The Northern Desert must find a way to be self-sufficient and get rid of the problem. This kind of soft control eliminates constraints! So what if these grains will damage the land? Bei desert purchases grains from outside every year, and the losses are more than this?
In the past, when the forces within the customs were fighting, Beimo could fish in troubled waters and secretly smuggle in more supplies. As soon as the man named Shen came to power, he immediately blocked the opening! No merchant dared to commit crimes against the wind! Now is a good opportunity to untie the shackles!
One group is opposed to purchasing disposable grain seeds.
There are not many fields in the Northern Desert, and they are not as good as the people in Guan Nei who know how to cultivate and cultivate the land. If a piece of land is abandoned, I don’t know how many years it will take to cultivate it. The person named Shen dug a hole and waited for them to jump into it. In any case, Bei Mo Mo cannot be fooled by this.
Gong Cheng listened to the movement inside and gradually became quieter.
A flash of understanding flashed across his face.
Although there are many tribes and races in the Northern Desert, and they fight every day, they are strangely united when they are united in dealing with the outside world. These aides, no matter which faction they belong to, have never relaxed their malice and vigilance towards Shen Tang.
The two factions have different opinions, but they agree on one thing -
"The person surnamed Shen definitely has no good intentions!"
"There are so many lies, don't believe them easily!"
"It is said that grain can only be cultivated once, but the news from the private sector is not true...it is a clear lie!"
There have been good harvests in Heyin for several years.
Although the yield per mu is not as high as here in Longwu County, it is still a good year! Anyone who has farmed knows that farming is about eating according to God's face. In ten years, there will be a big bumper year and a small bumper harvest in two or three years. There is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
However, He Yin connected with Dafeng and connected with Xiaofeng.
Xu Wenzhu, the governor of Heyin County, took this aspect seriously.
Bei Mo had to use contacts that had been in business for decades to secretly obtain a batch of grain produced in Heyin, and used his identity as a merchant to smuggle it to Bei Mo. However, it could not be shipped out because the inspection was too strict when passing through the customs! I don’t know. How poor is the person surnamed Shen? There are so many merchants passing through the customs, and everyone has to check them one by one, and turn them over batch by batch. Merchants who are not qualified for export business cannot leave the customs with materials beyond the prescribed amount. Here in Beimo After destroying a few hidden lines, I got a small bag of grain seeds.
These grains are circulated in Heyin. The climate in Heyin is not bad, and the grains do not need cold resistance, or even drought resistance. During Shen Tang's tenure, he dug canals and built reservoirs. , there is no shortage of water at all.
One can imagine——
When these grain crops arrived in the Northern Desert, they were simply not acclimatized to the soil and environment.
The small moves made by Bei Mo were in vain.
Shen Tang said that secret techniques were used to grow these grains, and the staff believed it, but if they said they could only be planted once, it would definitely be a lie. They could only plant them once to prevent Bei Mo from saving the seeds for themselves!
There must be some secret here.
The Caotai team also has the advantages of the Caotai team. The streamlined personnel greatly reduces the links that may leak secrets. Beimo will not be able to obtain secrets in the short term. If you want to spy on real intelligence, you can only rely on the efforts of the spies arranged to come in.
The staff sighed.
Until one person became cruel and his eyes glowed with a gloomy color: "I think I still need to buy grain seeds. This will not only help the country get rid of the grain shortage, but also make people named Shen relax their vigilance. The mutual trade between the two places must be established, otherwise—— I don’t know how long the person named Shen will make things difficult for us. A century-old plan cannot be planted here!"
As soon as the "hundred-year plan" was mentioned, the opposition no longer opposed it, and they all fell into a dilemma. The plan to go south in the Northern Desert had been planned for more than a hundred years. Now that they finally got the national seal, they only needed food and grass to raise troops and go south again.
The staff more or less all have a gambling streak.
Wu Yuan and other staff are no exception.
Or rather, so does he himself.
"As long as we succeed in moving south, how much land will there be?" Wu Yuan's gloomy face was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and his words were cold and ruthless, "You guys don't believe in the sage's prophecies? Destiny is in the north! The northern desert is destiny! These fields are ruined.
It’s useless!”
Everyone fell into a long silence again.
There is indeed a sage's prophecy that has been circulated for two to three hundred years in the Northern Desert, maybe even longer - destiny is in the north! This north is the "Northern Desert"! There are also legends passed down from generation to generation among the elderly in the Northern Desert. Their ancestors
He has a noble bloodline and once commanded the entire continent. Those despicable villains in the pass usurped the throne and drove his ancestors to a barren and desolate land, causing them to suffer enough.
Afterwards, a thief star fell from the sky, and there was no national seal in the Northern Desert. They were suppressed by the customs without any effort for more than two hundred years. Enough was enough!
A sage from the Northern Desert whose name and origin are unknown.
There are only two prophecies left.
One way - destiny is in the north.
One way - the thief star comes to the world.
It is said that this thief star will bring new life to the world. According to the prophecy, it was supposed to fall in the Northern Desert, but unexpectedly it fell in the pass. The sage of that generation made a divination and said that there was a villain in the pass who tampered with the number of days.
The prophecies of the sages were distorted.
The destiny in the north cannot be tampered with anymore!
Greed is rooted in human bones.
Wu Yuan wanted to bet on the fate of the country. As long as his plan to go south was successful, the loss of these fields in the Northern Desert would be insignificant.
Not long after, the Yes faction took the lead in supporting Wu Yuan.
The opposition is also shaken.
After half a quarter of an hour, the opinions were completely unified.
Wu Yuan went to see Shen Tang again.
Beimo has great authority over Wu Yuan, and any quotation within a certain range is acceptable. If it exceeds the limit but is not outrageous, Beimo can also accept it. Shen Tang requires Beimo to pay a deposit first, and Kang will deliver the goods within the specified period, but,
That's just the first batch.
Wu Yuan frowned: "Just the first batch?"
He looked at the drafted deed and didn't agree very much.
Shen Tang smiled and said: "The grain purchased in Bei Mo is not a small amount, and I have to prepare time. Besides, it is a rule to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. In view of Bei Mo's numerous criminal records, Kang Guo has just
Establishment always requires caution.”
Wu Yuan was speechless and unable to speak.
In fact, Beimo really didn't want to default on his debt this time.
The grain seeds are only one-time use, and the mutual market has not yet been established. Taking advantage of Shen Tang at this juncture will make people angry and will not be of any benefit to Bei Mo. But Shen Tang's move is not wrong. Bei Mo does not intend to default on the debt, but he does not say that it is certain.
Pay the money on time.
Deliberately procrastinating is what they can do.
After confirming the cooperation, the only thing left is to negotiate the price.
Shen Tang left the matter to Gu Chi, Luan Xin and Lin Feng. Gu Chi could listen to people's voices and was sharp-tongued. Luan Xin spoke slowly, comparable to a koala. If his opponents were more impatient, he would make him angry. Temper, Lin Feng is the person who leads the matter.
Grain planting and so on are all the Hucao's business.
After that comes the mutual market that Wu Yuan is most looking forward to.
Shen Tang showed him another wave of operations.
Mutual trading is possible, but there are restrictions on the items that can be traded. Some goods are prohibited from sale and circulation. To be precise, private merchants are prohibited from trading them. Wu Yuan listened with a dark face and slowly opened the thick and long volume. Prohibition Ordinance.
Tea is among the best.
Wu Yuan: "..."
Gong Cheng noticed that Wu Yuan's fingers were trembling.
The latter took a deep breath to suppress the outburst of anger.
"Master Kang, why is tea banned?"
Shen Tang had already prepared his words.
"Oh, well, this is because of the war last year and floods of varying degrees in Yanzhou and Qianzhou, which directly led to a sharp decline in tea this year. Alas, the supply of tea in Kang State exceeds demand, and the price remains high. If tea is still allowed If private transactions can be carried out at the border, the price of tea in Kang State will probably be higher. Once the common people follow the trend and plant tea, not only will the grain production decrease in the coming year and there will be a risk of food shortage, but the sudden increase in tea production will also cause the price to plummet. It will harm the balance, so it is prohibited. "
Her eyes were very sincere.
There is no hint of any intention to make things difficult.
Wu Yuan: "..."
|ω`)
Tea and salt are both very important to the Northern Desert, and Tang Mei has banned them.
