At this time, in the palace of Xiang Kingdom, King Xiang was looking at the newly made silk dress made by the princess. This kind of dress looks so beautiful when paired with the colors of colorful bird feathers.
"If we can capture Xiling Kingdom's silk production for one year, it will be enough for the princess to experiment with some new services." King Xiang said with a smile.
"It's a pity that the harvesting season has come, and there are not that many ocher and realgar stones in stock. I'm afraid it will be difficult to conclude this deal with Xuanyuan Kingdom." The princess said with some worry.
"We have been worshiping those two mountain gods for so many years, and we still have some friendship. At worst, I will be ashamed and go and beg them!" said the Elephant King.
While the two were talking, the maid over there reported that Ji Yun from Xuanyuan Kingdom and Yugong from Shaodian Kingdom had arrived in Xiang Kingdom with Elder Caifeng and were waiting outside the palace.
When the Elephant King heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly ordered people to invite them up.
Under the leadership of Elder Caifeng, Ji Yun and the others entered the main hall.
"Ji Yun of the Xuanyuan tribe has met King Xiang and his concubine!" Ji Yun bowed to the two people in the palace and said.
"Young Dianguo Yugong, I have met the Elephant King and the Princess." Yugeng followed suit and bowed to the Elephant King and the Princess.
King Xiang was obviously stunned when he heard this. He had long heard that the eldest prince of Shaodian Kingdom was at odds with the second prince. The second prince was even sent to open up wasteland in Juci Mountain in the Beihuang. He did not expect that the eldest prince's son would appear here together with the second prince.
Ji Yun naturally knew what King Xiang was thinking, so he didn't point it out. He said with a smile: "The princess's clothes are like a peacock's tail. It's really beautiful. No wonder Xiang is interested in my silk from Xiling. If this silk is combined with the princess
I’m afraid the price of the clothes made with my own craftsmanship will be several times higher.”
When the princess heard this, she said with joy: "I have only made a few styles, which makes me look bad in front of King Xuanyuan. But if the two countries can really cooperate, I think the profit from this silk can indeed be doubled."
"The silk trade after next year has been decided by the elders through discussion and has been fully entrusted to the Kingdom of Sishu. However, I can still take charge of the silk trade next year. If the Xiang Kingdom can come up with enough ocher and realgar stones,
In exchange, as I said before, I am willing to deliver next year's silk production to Xiang State." Ji Yun said.
King Xiang took Ji Yun's hand and said with a smile: "King Xuanyuan traveled thousands of miles to come to Xiang Kingdom. I am very touched by this sincerity. Now I am raising ocher and realgar stones from all over the country, but it is still not enough to satisfy Xuanyuan."
The amount that the king needs is really not enough, so I will go to the mountains of Huaijiang to raise the amount that King Xuanyuan needs."
"Elder Caifeng has told me about the situation in Huaijiang Mountain along the way. I also understand the difficulties faced by King Xiang. In this case, it is better to leave this matter to me. Without having to bother King Xiang to come forward, as long as King Xiang provides some
Just choose the labor of ocher and realgar stone." Ji Yun said.
"Why, does King Xuanyuan have any way to persuade the two mountain gods on Huaijiang Mountain?" King Xiang asked curiously.
"Where, on the way here, I heard Elder Caifeng say that in the past years, Xiangguo chose larger ocher and realgar stones, and usually chose larger pieces. The fine slag was generally discarded because it was inconvenient to transport. I
It means that since the harvesting season has passed, it is better to sift finely divided ocher and realgar stones from the river bed, which should be enough for us to use." Ji Yun said.
"Although fine pieces of ocher and realgar stones are everywhere, firstly they are not very effective and secondly they are difficult to separate, so most of them are discarded. If these inferior goods are sold to King Xuanyuan, then King Xuanyuan will suffer a loss." Xiang
Wang frowned and said.
"There is no other way. It's better than nothing. The worst that King Xiang can do is send more people and give Ji Yun a few more cars and realgar stones. Ji Yun will open up wasteland in the north. These two things are needed every year.
, the trade between the two countries will only become more frequent in the future, I hope this is a good start." Ji Yunyan said.
"I am really impressed by King Xuanyuan's magnanimity. Just ask for as many people or cars as you need. Elder Caifeng and General Xiang Yu are fully responsible for this matter." King Xiang said.
"So, thank you King Xiang." Ji Yun smiled.
"There is no shortage of ocher and realgar stones in my country, Shaodian, but I see that the clothes on the princess are very beautiful. I want to order a batch. The price is as high as the princess wants. I wonder if the princess will bear the pain and give up her love?"
Ji Yun's business deal with King Xiang was concluded, he came up to him with a smile and said.
"If Prince Yugong likes it, I can give you two pieces. Just buy them. There aren't that many materials." The princess smiled.
"As for the materials, I still have one or two carts left. How about I use one cart of silk to exchange for ten sets of silk clothes designed by the princess?" Yu asked with a smile.
"Do you have silk?" the princess asked in surprise.
"Before I have time to report to the princess, this year's sixteen carts of silk from the Xiling Kingdom were all bought by Prince Yugeng in one go." Elder Caifeng said.
"In that case, if you can bring over a cart, what if I promise you ten sets of clothes?" the princess said with a smile.
"It's so wonderful. I will send a letter to Diqiu in a moment. Within half a month, a load of silk will be delivered." Yugong said with a smile.
"I just don't know what kind of clothes Prince Yugong wants?" the princess asked.
"First, make two pieces according to my figure and that of this god sister. The rest of the sizes will be delivered together with the goods." Yugong looked at Aoyin and then said.
Aoyin gave Yuyi a roll of his eyes and said nothing.
Little Kuafu, on the other hand, was quite unhappy and said: "Young Master, am I the only one left?"
"You, tall and thick, are not suitable for silk!" Yugong chuckled.
After hearing this, the Elephant King and the Princess couldn't help laughing.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Ji Yun and his party, led by Caifeng and Xiang Yu, walked along the water toward the Huaijiang Mountain.
The further you go towards the mountains of Huaijiang River, there are more and more ocher and realgar stone particles on both sides of the water. From a distance, you can see a giant red dragon, shuttling between the green mountains and forests, reaching deep into the snow-capped mountains.
Caifeng and Xiang Yu led Ji Yun and the others to a mine. Since it was already the off-mining season, there were not many people in the mine. An elder in charge of the place, named Caihuang, met Caifeng and his party.
People came in large numbers. They were pleasantly surprised at first, and then said with some confusion: "Sister Caifeng, the harvest has stopped, why did you bring so many manpower here?"
"Friends from the Xuanyuan tribe want to purchase the ocher and realgar stones that we abandoned on the river beach. Your Majesty ordered me to come and help!" Xiang Yu said.
"That's it!" After hearing this, Caihuang knew the whole story.
"Please also ask Sister Caihuang to arrange accommodation for the guests. I have to ask Sister Caihuang to take care of me these days." Caifeng said.
"It's a piece of cake. By the way, Sister Caifeng, have you purchased any silk from your trip to Chengdu Zaitian this time? I'm still waiting for the princess to help me design a phoenix suit!" Caifeng asked.
"Silk is relatively popular, and someone else got there first, but King Xuanyuan has promised to sell us the silk production next year, so it won't be up to you to choose then." Caifeng said.
"Really?" Caihuang said happily.
"Then there is still a lie, isn't it? The person who got there first and the person who promised us a year's production of silk are both standing at the river embankment?" Xiang Yu pointed to Ji on the river embankment not far away.
Yun, as well as Yu Zeng and others.
"That's it!" Caihuang looked towards the river embankment for a few times and said suddenly.
