"You mean, maybe we can try to get some things from him?" Lin Bai asked.

"Yes, my lord, Wen Qiongbin is an important city for commercial exchanges between the Kingdom of Romance and the Kingdom of Hammad, even more important than us. They must have the commercial routes we need.

However, this is just a little guesswork by the subordinates, and the possibility that they will block us in two days cannot be ruled out, so the subordinates think it is necessary to observe and observe. "

Lin Bai was silent, his eyes were fixed on the map, he looked all the way along the southern coastline of the Kingdom of Romans and the Kingdom of Hammad, and counted the several seaport cities marked on the map.

"Do you know the routes of Wen Qiongbin's ship?" Lin Bai asked suddenly.

The chief clerk was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head a little ashamedly: "I'm sorry, my lord, this subordinate really doesn't know."

Lin Bai also understands that, after all, this is relatively detailed business knowledge, which may not be fully understood by a chief clerk in Weiyang's official affairs office.For such matters, you usually have to ask Wen Qiongbin's businessman, or send someone to Wen Qiongbin to investigate.

A bold plan gradually emerged in Lin Bai's mind.

Unlike Longshan, Lingyunxia and other cities west of Weiyang, Wen Qiongbin is farther away from the capital than Weiyang, and it is also a border city.Moreover, at least half of the city's prosperity is obtained by relying on transnational maritime transport trade.

This means that the city has a strong commercial atmosphere, and for the sake of commercial interests, there is enough motivation not to block Weiyang.

If Lin Bai wants to continue to import materials that are difficult to obtain after being blocked, it should be feasible to choose to open up a new business route from Wen Qiongbin to transport them.

But these are just my own conjectures. If the opponent can't bear the pressure of the capital and chooses to block Weiyang, then Lin Bai will have no choice.

"It seems that I have to go to confirm it myself. Even if Wen Qiongbin has received the news, I still have to find a way to lobby the other party to give up the blockade of Weiyang." Lin Bai expressed his own considerations.

"The idea you gave me is very good, very good!" Lin Bai praised.

"My lord, my honor, my subordinates are busy in the city model room every day, and I have a deep affection for Weiyang City. I don't want it to be destroyed in the flames of war. It is so vibrant!
Like a six-year-old child, as long as Weiyang is given a certain amount of time to develop, it will definitely become the greatest city in this territory!Not even the capital can compare! "The chief secretary humbled himself for a while, and then he became emotional.

Lin Bai looked at the chief clerk with a smile, as if meeting a confidant.

"Uh, my lord, isn't this subordinate too abrupt?" Seeing Lin Bai's smile, the chief clerk suddenly panicked.

"No, what you said just now is what an upright Weiyang official should say. I'm glad you have such awareness," Lin Bai patted him on the shoulder.

"Work hard, the real role of the city model, we are far from fully exerting it! We can't make it all!"

Does this mean to tell me that the future is bright and bright?The chief secretary thought for a while, and after reaching a conclusion, he quickly raised his chest and saluted: "Thank you for reminding me, my subordinates will work hard!"

Lin Bai nodded, and then ordered: "Xu Jie, help me sort out some information about Wen Qiongbin, I'll take it back and have a look."

"understand!"

Since he was going to visit Wen Qiongbin, he had to do some homework first, otherwise he would not know anything when he got there, and it would be easy to make jokes or even cause trouble.

To be precise, Wen Qiongbin is not directly south of Weiyang, but southeast.The Qiong River, the border river between the Kingdom of Romance and the Kingdom of Hammad, flows through Wenqiongbin City and flows into the sea in the south.

Wen Qiongbin experienced a great war 200 years ago, when Wen Qiongbin was still a small and unknown place.Wen Qingshan, a general of the Kingdom of Romance, defeated the 20 battle of the Kingdom of Hammad here.

Force the other party to accept peace talks.Afterwards, Wen Qiongbin was awarded General Wen Qingshan as a fief, and he guarded the eastern border for the Romance Kingdom for generations.

The name Wen Qiongbin means "the fief of the Wen family, the shore where the Qiong River flows into the sea."

However, the upper reaches of the Qiong River are within the territory of the Kingdom of Hammad, and the Kingdom of Hammad also built a city along the banks of the Qiong River to protect their frontiers. It is Fuluo City, which is located directly east of Weiyang City.

Although General Wen Qingshan defeated Hammad's team in the south back then, the leader in the north was not as powerful as him, but was very weak.

His failure caused the Romance Kingdom to lose hundreds of miles of land in the east, so that Weiyang, which had a population of less than [-], was forced to become a border guard city.

After the Kingdom of Romance and the Kingdom of Hammad returned to peace, Wen Qiongbin gradually developed by relying on the advantages of convenient coastal transportation. Now it is a medium-sized city with a population of no less than 17, and Weiyang is far behind.

This time I went to visit and asked for something from the other party. I am afraid that I have to prepare a generous gift.

This gave Lin Bai a headache. Now that Wei Yang has entered a state of wartime emergency, what kind of gift can he offer to persuade the other party to spare him?

resource?Or technology?
Resources, I'm afraid not.Weiyang City does not have any special rare resources, and the output of the Magic Silver Mine is basically covered by the Kingdom of Hammad, and there is no surplus to sell to others.Then you can only choose technology.

Do you sell the technology itself directly, or sell products processed by advanced technology?Lin Bai wanted to choose the latter, but besides cement, there seemed to be no products that could be mass-produced and sold to the other party, and could still make the other party tempted.

The main reason is perfume and soap, two relatively easy-to-produce products that are popular in other ancient territories and sell well, but here they have little appeal.Because of the existence of practice, there are perfect substitutes for perfume and soap.

correct!Steel!Excellent-quality steel is definitely an attractive resource!It can be used to make armor, it can also be used to make swords, and it can be used in many other industries!

As long as the steel plant can start normally without any accidents, Weiyang will be able to mass-produce high-quality steel, and Lin Bai will have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Wen Qiongbin's city lord!

Thinking of the excitement, Lin Bai wished he could fly to the steel factory to have a look, but reason made him restrain himself.It was already late at night, and everyone except myself probably had already gone to bed.

Lin Bai opened the window of the bedroom to take a breath. He had been sitting in his room, reading the materials for a long time, and thinking about it for a long time.

The big moon in the sky caressed Lin Bai's face. He slightly closed his sore eyes and took a rest, still thinking in his mind.
