The prey had already been hooked, Xiao Zicheng's face was calm, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and he whispered:

"The horses are not said to be, of course, they are calculated according to the original price. As for cattle and sheep..."

When he heard Xiao Zicheng say that horses would not be discounted, Mao Dun smiled again.

If Xiao Zicheng insisted on discounting the horse, he had already planned to turn against Xiao Zicheng.

You should know that horses cherish resources. No matter which country, there is a huge demand for war horses.

"The price of cattle and sheep is 40% off. I wonder what the second prince wants?"

Xiao Zicheng looked like a profiteer at this time, and intentionally or unintentionally gave a price that Maodun would not accept.

"At most 20%, this is my bottom line, if so..."

Mao's hands clenched in his sleeves, gritting his teeth and saying the most he could afford.

"make a deal!"

Before Mao Dun could finish his words, Xiao Zicheng raised his hand to interrupt him, stretched out his hand and said:

"I don't mean to raise the price on the ground. Two percent will cost 20%. In this way, you will not suffer any loss if you are the second prince.

If you think about it carefully, does what Benjue said make sense?"

“…”

Maodun looked at Xiao Zicheng deeply, and he naturally knew the principle that things are precious.

What the Great Zhou lacks most now is not cattle and sheep, but the demand for horses has increased sharply.

Although the Dazhou also has considerable demands for cattle and sheep, it is incomparable to the demands of horses.

As a large number of cattle and sheep poured into Bianliang, the price will naturally slowly drop over time.

After this transaction, if he wants to trade with the big week, the price of cattle and sheep will only be cheaper than now.

However, the problem is that apart from cattle, sheep and horses, he could not find anything to exchange armor and weapons with the Great Zhou for a while.

Although I felt very frustrated, Maodun accepted the price given by Xiao Zicheng from the bottom of his heart after a brief thought.

Suddenly, Maodun seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice:

"I wonder if people can defeat horses, cattle and sheep?"

Xiao Zicheng was stunned when he heard this. Although the most ideal thing was to sell the money even if he could not make up money.

In this way, he could take advantage of the opportunity to ask Maodun to send troops to harass Chen State to defeat each other.

But he didn't expect that Maodun would ask for a person to pay off...

"If you use people to pay for it, it will be a large amount. Where can you find so many slaves?"

Suddenly, Xiao Zicheng's face changed, and he looked at Maodun's eyes and gradually became cold.

He thought of a possibility, that is, the civilians of the Great Zhou who were kidnapped by various tribes and were exiled to be slaves from various tribes!

Seeing this, Maodun secretly glanced at Xiao Zicheng and explained vaguely:

"Although I can't stand it, I don't have the ability to stop it. Those are the people from your Great Zhou..."

"Your abacus is very loud!"

Xiao Zicheng stood up and stared at Maodun with the murderous intent that was rising in his eyes without any concealment.

However, seeing this situation, I suddenly felt relieved and said to Xiao Zicheng:

"Didn't your Great Zhou emperor always claim to love the people as much as your son? You will use common people to pay for money, and you will not lose money in this deal."

Xiao Zicheng's eyes flashed a few times, and he immediately began to ponder while drinking tea.

Although he never thought he was a Virgin, he could imagine the situation of those who were captured by civilians.

Slave trading is a very common thing in all countries, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty had a tradition of using prisoners as labor.

Xiao Zicheng asked himself that he did not have the ability to eradicate this system. In this era of life and life are like grass, do he want to promote human rights?

Not to mention that he couldn't do it, even if Emperor Jingping proposed to abolish slavery one day, it would be lighter to turn into a palace change...

Those aristocratic families will never allow things that harm their interests to happen.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the life of a slave may not be as noble as a domestic dog.

Having said that, those people always have to find a fig leaf, and benevolence, righteousness and morality can perfectly meet their needs.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but sigh:

"make a deal."

A glimmer flashed in Maodun's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Happy cooperation. After I return to the grassland, I will definitely raise funds as soon as possible. I hope you, Sir, can prepare early."

Xiao Zicheng looked at the proud look on his face and wanted to go up and punch him.

It’s a pity that the two sides still have to cooperate. Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng turned around and left.

......

After finalizing the specific details with Prince Maodun, Xiao Zicheng went straight into the palace.

Although Emperor Jingping gave him full power to handle this matter, he still had to report what he should report.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Jingping listened quietly to Xiao Zicheng's report, and there was not much surprise on his face:

"You have already done this job well. It is a good thing to be able to exchange for the civilians who were captured by my Great Zhou."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingping paused:

"After Maodun delivers the war horses, cattle and sheep, the converted silver will be left with 30% of the military weapons, and the rest will be returned to the national treasury."

Xiao Zicheng pursed when he heard this. Although 30% of the money seemed to be a lot, he was still not enough to see the massive R&D funds.

"Your Majesty...can you..."

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Jingping interrupted him directly:

"You little snatch, don't behave like a good person when you get a cheaper one. This matter will not take long to spread throughout the government and the country. If I don't cover you up..."

Emperor Jingping deliberately did not finish his words, but just looked at Xiao Zicheng meaningfully, with the meaning being self-evident.

"Your Majesty! You can't do this... You told me to do it..."

"Oh? Is that?" Emperor Jingping smiled narrowly, "Who can give you a proof?"

Xiao Zicheng was stunned, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. No fourth person knew about this except for the cheap father.

Not to mention the cheap dad will definitely not come forward. Even if he says it, who can believe it?

Damn it... I'm really being tricked this time...

"Oh..." Xiao Zicheng sighed, "Thirty percent will be worth 30%... I admit it..."

Emperor Jingping smiled, "I am tired, if there is nothing else, I will kneel down and rest."

Ten thousand divine beasts rushing past Xiao Zicheng's heart. He never expected that Emperor Jingping, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would fool him a minister...

"I...resign..."

"Yeah, go down."

Emperor Jingping half-squinted his eyes, leaned on the dragon chaise to take a nap, and said lightly.

I'm careless!! Who would have thought that the emperor would cheat people...
