Jiang Hongxuan cleared his throat and said to Kuvadikanas: "Lord Luhai, the Emperor of Hongwu Kingdom asked you, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
Kuvadikanas suddenly realized, with the original expression in his eyes, he immediately saluted Emperor Dexuan again and said: "Lu Hai has a long-term cooperative relationship with the Maritime Safety Administration of Hongwu Kingdom, and he also likes your Hongwu Kingdom. I know you guys
If you are here, come and visit immediately."
Emperor Dexuan, who was still uptight at first, suddenly darkened his face when he heard him mention the Maritime Safety Administration, and said, "I heard that you settle accounts with the Wei family once every year at the end of the year, and settle the accounts in gold. Is this possible?"
This was because the Wei family had swallowed up money from his treasury. He had to figure it out and settle the gold to him before leaving, so that the prince could clean up the Wei family in an honest and fair manner.
When Kuvadicanas heard about the Wei family and knew who he was talking about, he nodded immediately: "Yes, this is what was written in the treaty drawn up before the cooperation. Things brought here by merchants from the Hongwu Kingdom will be treated according to what they brought here.
70% of the total price of the goods will be exchanged for goods and given to them. The remaining 30% will be settled in gold. In October, someone will come to settle the matter."
When Emperor Dexuan heard this, he became angry.
Thirty percent, one ship is 30%, there are so many ships in the Maritime Safety Administration, and there are so many merchants. A ship goes back and forth several times every year, and 30% is deducted every time. How much money will be settled at the end of the year?
The Wei family has really big appetites, and they are not afraid of choking to death!
When Chu Ximo heard what City Lord Lu Hai said, he knew that Emperor Dexuan was very angry. He might even direct his anger at the Lord of Lu Hai. He immediately raised his hand and pretended to pat Emperor Dexuan's hand casually.
, asking him to pay attention to the occasion.
Since the city lord said this matter so openly and openly, it means that he has a clear conscience and it is just the Wei family who is doing something secretly.
Even if he wants to be angry, he would only target the Wei family. There is no reason to act wildly here. Moreover, the person in front of him is not someone he can act wildly against.
Now as soon as people know they are here, they come looking for them, which shows that they are sincere.
Emperor Dexuan's face was livid, and he was about to get angry, when he was suddenly slapped by Chu Ximo, and he reacted instantly.
I saw him secretly take a few deep breaths, then reveal a far-fetched smile, and said: "The gold that the Wei family gets every year is not given to the merchants. I didn't know about this before, now that I've arrived this time
This, as we already know, means that the previous contract must be voided and should be re-drafted.”
Kuvadicanas was a little worried when he heard this, and there was also doubt in his eyes: "It's okay to draft the contract again, but how will you prove your identity, and the Wei family..."
Although Kuvadicanas had already determined that the person in front of him was the real king of Hongwu Kingdom, he only confirmed it. The person in front of him did not produce anything to confirm his identity.
Emperor Dexuan also knew that he came out this time without making any publicity. It was already good that the city lord came to him and did not maintain a skeptical attitude.
Now that he has proposed to re-formulate the terms of cooperation, it is normal for people to ask for confirmation of identity.
Thinking of this, he took out his private seal and brocade handkerchief from his sleeve pocket.
The veil he is using now is pure white. It was made on the boat by the embroiderer who came with him this time. It is now just used for sealing.
After he stamped his personal seal on the brocade handkerchief and handed it over, he saw Kuvadikanas opening the handkerchief and looking at it carefully.
After a long while, Kuvadicanas handed the veil back to Emperor Dexuan, made an apology again, and then said: "The contract can be re-drafted, but the Wei family needs you, the king of Hongwu Kingdom, to resolve it yourself.
"
"This is natural, and I won't embarrass you. From now on, the commercial transactions between Hongwu Kingdom and Cangming Kingdom will be carried out according to the new contract. However, it is already March, and the remaining 30% of each merchant ship from October last year to now should be
The gold exchanged for it must be settled by you before the new contract is signed."
When Emperor Dexuan said these words without changing his expression, God knows that his heart was beating like a drum at this moment.
One tael of gold is equal to twenty taels of silver, so I don't know how much gold can be settled this time.
After all, he was right to come out this time, otherwise there would be no such free gold.
He didn't know that the Wei family secretly hoarded a lot of gold behind his back.
"Okay, I have a record of this and can settle it clearly at any time. I wonder if you wrote this contract or not?"
Chu Ximo saw that they had already talked about this, so he took over the topic and said: "We can draw up a contract, but we don't want to change it too much and damage your interests. Lord Lu Hai might as well take out the previous contract and wait for us
After reading it carefully, we can make changes to the areas that need to be changed and draw up a new one based on that. What do you think?"
When Emperor Dexuan and Kuvadicanas heard what Chu Ximo said, they both understood that Da Chu intended to get involved in this business.yyls
As far as Emperor Dexuan was concerned, it was nothing for Da Chu to do business with the Cangming Kingdom. Anyway, what Hongwu Kingdom sold was what Da Chu lacked. Besides mines, most of the other Hongwu kingdoms also had what Da Chu had.
At present, the Cangming Kingdom seems to have no shortage of minerals. The Chu wants to do business with them, which does no harm to the Hongwu Kingdom.
I don’t know what Da Chu will bring to Cangming Kingdom to sell in the end.
Kuvadikanas also heard the underlying meaning of Chu Ximo's words. After confirming the identity of Emperor Dexuan, he no longer had to confirm the identities of Chu Ximo and Yan Shiqing. He knew that these two people were the ones named
The royal nobles of Da Chu.
During his previous conversation with His Excellency Jiang Hongxuan, he felt that this great Chu seemed to be somewhat mysterious.
The implication behind his words was that the glass mirror was made by Da Chu, and the shopkeeper of this inn also said that there was rouge and gouache, which was for women.
I don’t know the difference between those things and the ones used by women in Cangming Kingdom, and whether they are effective or not.
If it was feasible, he thought it would be a good idea to do this business with Da Chu.
"Okay, tomorrow I will have someone deliver the previous contract. When you have drafted the new contract, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me at any time. In addition..."
Kuvadikanas said, his eyes turned to Yan Shiqing, and then fell on her face and said: "I don't know that Lu Hai had the honor to buy a rouge and gouache from you before signing a contract with you again.
And a glass mirror?”
When Emperor Dexuan heard this, his eyes narrowed and he also looked at Yan Shiqing.
The two things proposed by City Lord Luhai are actually from the Nuanxiang Pavilion of his Hongwu Kingdom. It’s just that the Nuanxiang Pavilion belongs to Yan Shiqing, and she is from Da Chu.
If we really want to cooperate, this must be classified as Da Chu's industry and has nothing to do with their Hongwu Kingdom.
It seemed that he had to find time to discuss these matters with Yan Shiqing. As far as he knew, most of what she did was extracted from flowers.
Dachu is suffering from drought, with fewer trees and fewer flowers. She mainly did this work in the Hongwu Kingdom, so can she get a share of his pie?
Now he can see that the things made by Nuanxiang Pavilion are easy to sell not only in Hongwu Kingdom, but also in Cangming Kingdom.
By the way, they haven't included perfume yet. If perfume were included, the sales would probably be better than those in Hongwu Kingdom.
Just when Emperor Dexuan was thinking about getting a piece of the pie from Yan Shiqing, Jiang Hongxuan heard the words and immediately made the decision: "No problem! But the goods are not here now. You can come and buy them at any time before signing the contract."
For Jiang Hongxuan, Nuanxiang Pavilion is in the name of Jiang Mansion anyway. Now that there is this opportunity, Sister Shiqing will definitely not let it go easily.
Kuvadikanas was very satisfied when he got the reply.
He thought it would be best to take the things back today, but he also knew that this was impossible.
After all, he had seen a glass mirror from the innkeeper, and it was indeed much cleaner than the mirrors sold in Cangming Kingdom.
If he has these things, he won't have to worry about not being able to sell them, and he can also do so at a high price.
This meeting was not long, only about half an hour in total.
After Kuvadicanas returned, Emperor Dexuan put a smile on his face again, and he was very happy, thinking about how much gold he could get this time.
He did not intend to give these to the businessmen of the Hongwu State Maritime Safety Administration.
As far as he is concerned, he took these from the Lord of Luhai City based on his ability, why should he give them away?
What he can do now is fight for the interests of those businessmen so that they can earn more in the future.
As a result, the taxes on the treasury will definitely increase accordingly. Only a small part of the treasury will belong to the prince, and the rest will still belong to him.
This means that he will make more and more money. It can be said to be a win-win situation for him and the businessmen of the Maritime Safety Administration.
As for the Wei family, they can go and die. How much gold they have swallowed, they have to spit it out before they die!
Emperor Dexuan returned to the wooden house with satisfaction. For him, how to draw up the new contract was Chu Ximo's business.
For his share of the Hongwu Kingdom, he only had to change a few words later and stamp it with his private seal.
Why should he make himself uncomfortable when there is nothing he needs to worry about? All he needs to do now is sit down and count the money, and someone will take care of the rest.
After Emperor Dexuan left, only Chu Ximo, his wife and Jiang Hongxuan were left in the hall this time.
Even the shadow guards in the dark were replaced by their people.
Jiang Hongxuan seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment, and said to Chu Ximo: "Sixth Master, I was careless this time. Our country Chucai and Hongwu Kingdom have just exchanged business, and the people doing this business are not
A lot. If we suddenly sign a contract with the Cangming Kingdom, no one will come here later, or they may feel that they can't make much money and are unwilling..."
When he said this, he said awkwardly: "After all, Hongwu Kingdom is rich in materials, and I, Dachu, really don't know what to sell. It can't be all kinds of mines, right? And that road sea just now
The glass mirrors and rouge gouache that adults are talking about were actually made in the Hongwu Kingdom."
