Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

You, you are, ah! Xie Lian! Ling Qingyu looked at the man in front of him for three minutes before he remembered that he had a relationship with him in Galle.

Miss Ling is so interested, why don't you come to my place as a guest? Xie Lian sat down next to her, also ordered a drink, and asked.

Ling Qingyu chuckled and thought to himself, who remembers who you are? You have forgotten it a long time ago.

Miss Ling is here this time. Do you have any goods for sale? Our Katak family also has a business here. Seeing her perfunctory smile, Xie Lian said directly.

Is this right? There is nothing to get close to. Ling Qingyu put down the cup and said: I brought a lot of silk and porcelain this time. I wonder how much Brother Xie can eat?

It seems that Miss Ling got a good price in Galle. Xie Lian smiled and said: If I can't swallow your goods, I'm afraid no one else in Calicut can swallow it.

Eight thousand pieces of silk, eight thousand pieces of yarn, three thousand pieces of fine silk, four thousand pieces of medium silk, five thousand pieces of silk, one thousand pieces of flower flat silk, four hundred pieces of red silk, and half a million pieces of porcelain, see Glancing at Xie Lian's eyes, which were getting wider and wider, Ling Qingyu smiled and said, There are also some books, embroidery and needlework. I wonder, Brother Xie, how much do you want them to cost?

Xie Lian, who was originally calm and composed, was sweating on her forehead, but she was not surprised, but happy. She was about to answer, but was interrupted by a person who rushed towards her.

I want half of it! Ai Xi panted, slapped the stone table next to Ling Qingyu, and then screamed in pain.

Half, can you eat it? Xie Lian smiled softly and said.

Ai Xi's dark-skinned face suddenly turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, I can exchange it with something.

Miss Ling, why don't we go to my business and have a detailed discussion? Xie Lian stood up and said elegantly.

Ai Xi? Ling Qingyu was stunned for a while before he recognized this person. How did this person get here so quickly? Then he smiled at Xie Lian and said, Brother Xie, don't be in a hurry. Aisi helped me in Galle. Can you give us some time to chat together?

Xie Lian's smile froze. You asked two opponents to negotiate the price with you?

Well, the weather is nice today, let's have a drink first? Ling Qingyu said with a smile after realizing his mistake. I don’t want to be tied to you two. Naturally, the one with the highest price will get it. It’s really not easy to travel across the ocean.

I have 100,000 catties of spices, and I can give them all to you. Ai Xi paused, knowing that he was a little anxious, but when he came back and received that message, it was really not easy to raise so much money in a short period of time, but If he could borrow the goods from this great Zhou merchant, he could do business without capital.

Then, Miss Ling, let's talk to him first. My business is not far ahead. I'll ask the servant to wait there. When the girl is free, she can just come over. Is that okay? Xie Lian said with a smile. Ai Xi is just a declining noble. What can he afford with the little money he has? He wasn't worried about how much business Ai Xi could steal, so it was better to be generous.

Okay. Ling Qingyu replied with a smile. If this person was not from the Xie family, he could have made friends with him, but it was a pity.

Girl, if you can trust me, I can help you get the maximum benefit. After Xie Lian left, Ai Xi sat opposite Ling Qingyu and said.

Oh? Ling Qingyu raised his eyebrows and then started to look at him squarely.

The girl must know that I don't have much money myself, Aisi showed her white teeth and said with a sincere smile: But the girl is the first to come, right? You are not familiar with the situation here. Selling all the goods to Katak is It’s the easiest, but you lose at least half of your profits.”

Like in Galle? Ling Qingyu asked with interest.

In Galle, if you can go to two more places, the price can go up by at least another 30%. Aisi said honestly, so Adi gave him 10% as a reward.

Knew it! Ling Qingyu cried hard in her heart, and then smiled and said, If you tell me this now, how can I believe you?

I can help you sell everything at a high price, and then buy the goods you want at a low price. Seeing Ling Qingyu's probing look, Ai Xi smiled widely and said, However, I want a return of 10% of the total value.

Brother, why don’t you just say that you are a pimp? Ling Qingyu cursed, then smiled and said, How do I know that the price you sell for is higher than what I sell for myself?

You can ask about the price of katak first, and then we will meet here before dusk in the afternoon, and I will tell you the price I can sell it for. Ai Xi said with sincerity, showing his white teeth.

Okay, my ship can carry 10,000 shi of cargo. Can you help me calculate how much I can carry?

Ai Xi took a breath. He was shocked when he saw the Fengshen. He had never seen such a big sea ship before. It was ten thousand stones! According to Da Zhou's calculation, their ship, even if it comes from the Red Sea, can only carry 800 stones at most.

I understand, Ai Xi said to Ling Qingyu after looking at the sky, Please Miss Ling, please wait for me.

Okay. Ling Qingyu nodded and looked at Ai Xi's strong figure disappearing from the crowd. He waved to Xie Lian's servant and said, Is it possible to visit Mr. Cutak now?

Xie Lian's business is located on one side of the intersection in the very center of the city. It is a magnificent lotus-like building.

Entering the inner room, the floor is covered with marble, the light is discernible, and walking barefoot on it gives you a refreshing feeling.

Yan San and Yan Qi were not used to going barefoot, but seeing how deep the courtyard was, they still refused Ling Qingyu's kindness to ask them to wait outside, took off their boots, and followed Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu secretly laughed, Why don't you two wear the sandals given to you? You wear these hot boots every day. Look, you are embarrassed to have smelly feet!

After passing through the long corridor, we arrived at a round house at the back. There was just an empty hall inside, with some soft cushions placed on all sides, leaving an open space in the middle. At this time, there were dancers in gorgeous dance clothes dancing in the middle.

The dancer has a plump waist and twists into various postures as softly as she does to the accompaniment of the musician next to her. She wears gorgeous gold ornaments on her head, body and hands, creating layers of golden light.

Xie Lian was sitting alone on the soft cushion under the window. When she saw Ling Qingyu and the others coming, she raised her glass to signal.

Ling Qingyu found a soft chair that looked the most comfortable and was not far from Xie Lian and sat down, then motioned for Yan San and Yan Qi to sit down as well.

Servants brought rich fruit food and drinks.

Ling Qingyu picked a grape and ate it, and said with a smile, Brother Xie, it's really pleasant here.

If you like it, why not stay? In her own territory, Xie Lian seemed to relax, and said lazily and casually with a faint smile on her lips.

Let's wait until I don't want to run away to sea that day. Ling Qingyu took a cushion and put it on the back of his waist and said with a smile.

Xie Lian smiled and clapped her hands. The dancers in the middle retreated, and a graceful and beautiful dancer came up and started singing and dancing.

The singing was high-pitched and beautiful, and the dancing was fierce and graceful. Ling Qingyu unconsciously saw something wrong. After the song was over, he clapped excitedly and said, Great voice, great dancing!

If you like it, I will send her to you. Xie Lian smiled.

Seeing the dancer's eyes darken, Ling Qingyu hurriedly said: No, I just want to come to your place to enjoy it when I have time.

Xie Lian smiled, stopped mentioning it, and asked leisurely: Has Miss Ling thought about it?

You didn't even offer a price, how could I think of it so quickly? Seeing that he still spoke, Ling Qingyu also smiled.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold and five hundred thousand jins of spices, okay? Xie Lian said with a smile.

Yan Qi's heart trembled. This was the first time he followed Ling Qingyu out to discuss business. In the past, it was Yan San and Yang Zhao, but today Ling Qingyu left Yang Zhao on the boat to pressurize the boat and took him out. Unexpectedly, What a glimpse of the world!

Ling Qingyu calculated in his mind that half a million kilograms of spices, according to the market price here just seen, would total about one million taels of silver, but that was the market price, and it stands to reason that the wholesale price would be lower, so it would count as eighty Ten thousand taels of silver and two hundred thousand taels of gold are two million taels of silver, which is less than three million taels of silver. The cost is 160,000 taels of silver, which is less than twenty times the profit, which is not worth it.

Looking at Ling Qingyu's expression, Xie Lian said again: Girl, think about it, you can sell those spices for three to four million taels if you transport them to the Red Sea. If you transport them back to Da Zhou, I'm afraid it will cost five million taels. Now they are stuck. Likart, no one else can produce so many spices. These goods are all reserved for the Xie family's ship, but the Xie family's ship has not come for a year, and now that Su'er is involved, it is better to empty them out.

The scenery here is nice. I want to stay a few more days. Brother Xie won't be so anxious, right? Sighing, Ling Qingyu said again: To be honest with Brother Xie, our journey is also dangerous. If you want to make more money, you should clear?

Xie Lian laughed and raised her glass. Another dancer came up to dance. The two of them stopped talking about business and started talking about some big things.

In the afternoon, Ling Qingyu said goodbye and came out. People here are used to sitting on the floor. Even if there is a soft support, it is still a tiring job.

On the way to the tea stall, there was a knife shop. Ling Qingyu walked in when he saw that the Arabian knife hanging outside was very exquisite.

When she entered the store, she saw a room full of Damascus knives, which were so gorgeous and exquisite that her eyes were dazzled.

Yan San was named Lu, and he had those peerless swords, which was fine, but Yan Qi couldn't help but be excited. Warriors all have good weapons. The blades of these swords are extremely sharp, and the patterns on them are composed of countless small serrations, which are absolutely stunning. What a great killing weapon.

Ling Qingyu glanced at Yan Qi, and then signaled to the store to bring out the best. The store took out a long tray from the inner room, and placed five knives of different lengths on the plate.

Ling Qingyu casually took out one, and felt the cold light coming towards his face. He couldn't help but tremble, and quickly inserted it back. The handle and scabbard were inlaid with gold and gems, and were painted with patterns using enamel, gold and silver interlocking techniques, etc. , exquisite and exquisite.

How much? Ling Qingyu asked.

The boss wrote the Arabic numeral for one thousand. Ling Qingyu took out a copper coin and placed it on the number. The boss shook his head, took out a gold coin and placed it on the number.

One thousand gold coins? So expensive? Are you bullying me, a foreigner! Ling Qingyu couldn't help shouting.

The boss also started chattering excitedly. Ling Qingyu couldn't understand a word and said to him, Wait a minute, I'll find someone who can communicate with you!
