Chapter 8 We are all serious businessmen

"Wang'er, I'll interrogate the weird people in the East City next. Are you tired?" Qin Zheng touched Hu Hai's head and asked in a doting way.

Hu Hai shook his head and said curiously: "Father, not only is the son minister not tired, but he is also a little too late. I wonder which one of these weird people or that true god cultivator is more interesting?"

"Oh? Haha, my father doesn't know either. Zheng Ling, let them come up."

Qin Zheng was very happy to see Hu Hai being so curious about new things, so he turned around and ordered Zheng Ling to call someone.

"Hi, Mayor Chuandong City and the Gentiles went to the palace!"

Accompanied by Zheng Ling's elongated voice, a young man in a genius uniform brought three "savages" in short coats and furs to the hall.

Before the people could reach the middle, Qin Zheng and Hu Hai, who were standing on the high ground, were constantly looking at them.

The young mayor was obviously the first time he went to the palace to face the king, and he was obviously a little excited, but he could see that he was very skilled in daily life and did not look so scared that he could not walk.

The three "Gentile Savages" followed were far behind. Although they were of different ages, they all acted like babies walking on thin ice when they were walking on the scene.

But you say they are timid, they have stared at each other with big eyes and stared around along the way, which is really weird.

The young man is still very polite, so he respectfully bowed to him: "I, Bai Pu, the mayor of Dongshi, has seen the king for thousands of years, and the Qin for thousands of years."

Not only that, the young man also tilted his head and winked at the three "savages" beside him. The three of them were clever and then bowed to Qin Zheng for a while, and his mouth was also chaotic.

"This young man is OK. He is also obedient to the Gentiles who are difficult to communicate with. He is even more humble or arrogant when he goes to the palace. It's just that the name is too ugly, it's free to have sex... but it's okay."

Qin Zheng thought about it and raised his hand to signal them to get up, and then spoke:

"That Bai...qing, it's the first time I've dealt with this kind of problem. I feel I can't start. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to explain in detail to you."

"Can."

"That day, I was inspecting the market and suddenly saw a group of people gathered, so I went up to check it out.

Knowing that these three people came from the east and fell in love with the lacquerware on the market, they had no money and only had a big shell, so the merchants naturally didn't want to sell it to them.

The three of them started arguing with the merchants. If Weichen hadn't arrived in time, they might have taken action."

Bai Pu looked up and saw Qin Zheng nodding in approval. He was also very happy. It seemed that he was going to make a contribution this time. Then he tried harder to explain:

"This is not a problem at first, because whether it is the west or Bashu, many unregistered households and people are not often used to use copper coins to empty cloth, and physical objects will be used when we come to our market.

Generally, we will use a set of standards to estimate the price of these things. After all the negotiations are made, we will make wooden decks when more than three people are present and complete the transaction.

The problem this time is that, first, they can’t say what they were when they were, and they can’t make valid wooden decks; second, they only brought shells, which are estimated to be of very low value. Not to mention not being able to buy lacquerware after the change, I’m afraid there will be no enough food…”

"Huh?" Qin Zheng also frowned slightly after hearing this, and turned his head to look at the three people next to him. At this moment, the three people were less fearful and more surprised than before.

Qin Zheng spoke tentatively: "Gentiles...Gentiles? I ask you where are you?"

The largest of the three looked like they were, and went forward to perform a strange etiquette, and said timidly and stubbornly: "Master, we are businessmen."

Qin Zheng shook his head and said slowly, "I know you are businessmen. I am asking which country you are from and which tribe you are?"

Another savage seemed to have a relatively anxious temper and could not do any false rituals. He directly snatched the words: "King, we are businessmen."

This man was even less clear about his words, and Qin Zheng was a little anxious when he heard this: "I know you are businessmen, I'm asking..."

At this time, Hu Hai, who had been silent afterwards, suddenly spoke: "Father, will their family be called Shang?"

"Hmm? Ah! Merchant merchant! Dayi Shang!" Bai Pu next to him suddenly realized and shouted directly: "King, born a mysterious bird!"

"Come to Shang!" Qin Zheng immediately spoke up. At this moment, he finally understood that these were "Shang Dynasty people".

Moreover, Qin Zheng not only understood their origin, but also thought of the origin of the Ying surname. The Ying surname is the same as the surname of the Shang royal family. The evidence is that they share the origin myth of "the mysterious bird descends eggs into the girl's belly."

"Yes, yes, yes, Xuanniao... Shang... We are serious... Businessmen!" The three businessmen here were also very excited, but they were not very quick-witted and could only speak and gesture.

Qin Zheng was also very excited and almost got close to it: "Okay, okay, I, Ying, and Emperor Qingyang (Shaohao). Do you know that my ancestors are evil?"

"Evil comes! Evil comes, General is invincible!" The three merchants also praised each other, one of them even spoke in a stiff accent and said with a sarcastic look:

"I had seen the general of Evil in the capital a month ago. He went out hunting with the emperor. I heard that he had caught a tiger and came back."

"Awesome, awesome..." The other merchants praised him, and they didn't see Qin Zheng at all.

"When evil comes, he also escorts Shang Emperor to hunt. Then isn't this Shang Emperor the Emperor the Emperor Xin? Be good, King Zhou of Shang!"

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng quickly asked the three of them: "Is the Shang Emperor now the Emperor Shou Xin?"

The merchants didn't seem to have no intention of avoiding them, and they nodded one after another. Qin Zheng was also a little dizzy now. This feeling was similar to that when he learned that this was the ninth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty.

"This is too messy. They walked over from the east, which means that the northeast of my Great Qin was the Shang Dynasty. Is the Korean army that Zhao Gao went to fight also a South Korea during the Warring States Period?"

The more Qin Zheng thought about it, the more anxious he became. If the Korean royal family in the northeast were in chaos, everything would naturally be easy to solve. But a South Korea during the Warring States Period might not be easy to deal with.

"There are fierce generals and evil people over Dixin, so there can be Han Fei in South Korea. I am the only one Zhao Gao now. Can I win?"

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng's good mood was gone, so he quickly waved to Zheng Ling and said, "Tell me to Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, that the Han army on the opposite side may be difficult to deal with, so let him be cautious."

"Hi!"

Zheng Ling didn't understand why his king's thinking was so irresistible, so he could only respond first.

"Bai Pu, I don't know much about business. Since the merchants are here, we have to find ways to complete the transaction, but fairness must be done.

I am now promoting you to the Secretary of Commerce and specializing in foreign trade. You will organize businessmen and several mayors from both sides to discuss a general plan. I want to achieve mutual communication between the two sides as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Hi!" Bai Pu bowed excitedly and became a "Qing". Although it was just a verbal arrangement, as long as it was done, it was just around the corner.

"That... businessman?" Qin Zheng pointed to the largest businessman and asked: "I plan to write a letter of state and send my prime minister to visit His Majesty Emperor Xin. I will give you 10 pieces of cloth. Are you willing to lead the way for me?"

"Yes! We do!" The merchants nodded quickly, they were not stupid.

Qin Zheng was obviously very friendly and said that he had relatives with General Eilai, so he must have made a contribution when he went there, and he was willing to not give anything.

"Okay, I will practice it for another general in a few days, so I will use this to send it to you." Qin Zheng decided to come.

"Thank you... Your Majesty." The merchants followed Bai Pu and bowed again, and this time they were already pretty.

Qin Zheng looked at them and was secretly shocked. The learning ability of these people is really no different from that of the Qin people.

But on the surface he still looked very easy to talk to: "Well, you are indeed serious businessmen, so let's go to Dianke to rest first."

"Hi!" Then Zheng Ling led Bai Pu and three merchants out of the hall. Only father and son were left in the hall.

At this time, Hu Hai asked in confusion: "Father, King Zhou is not..."

"Are you a tyrant? You have to learn to see it as the truth. Whether he is a tyrant or not will be known until we have seen it." Qin Zheng said earnestly.

After saying that, he couldn't help but look out the window, and his head was filled with various imaginations of the descendants of Emperor Xin, the legendary last emperor, and then gradually became part of Ying Zheng and Hu Hai...

Finally, Qin Zheng suddenly withdrew his thoughts and turned to Hu Hai and said, "Now I can only say that he is a serious businessman, and sooner or later... he will be a dead person."

Hu Hai was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "What the father is right, everyone will die in the end, hahaha."
