While speaking, Billus paused for a moment, and said with difficulty: "You can do whatever you want with what I have."

"Sell it to you?" Lu Chengqing looked at Belus' face full of anxiety and helplessness, not as if he was lying, but as if he was desperate.

If it is borrowed, then it is definitely not acceptable, but if it is sold, it is sold to anyone, and it is not impossible to sell it to the Prince of Persia.

After all, food is old food if it has been stored for a long time, and the older it is, the less valuable it is, unless there is a catastrophe year.

So the grain business has been going on, but the grain business has not been easy to do in recent years, because there is no shortage of grain in times of peace and prosperity.

It's just that the war in Persia really lost even the king?So anxious to rush to the restoration?

Has it really reached the point where the prince can sell anything himself? ?

Lu Chengqing felt a little skeptical, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Bellus here.

The opponent didn't have any flaws, he looked like a useless prince in exile.

For the sake of prudence, it is better to test: "Then what if I want the jade seal of Persia?"

Bellus was stunned for a moment, his face darkened immediately, and then his face turned red with anger, he clenched his teeth, and remained silent as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Not only Belus was extremely angry, but even the thick guard's eyes were fierce, and his hands were secretly stretched into his sleeves.

The scene was tense.

Obviously, Lu Chengqing's words touched the opponent's rebellion. The jade seal represents the throne of Persia. How could such a thing be sold?

Lu Chengqing observed carefully, his expression and action didn't look like a writer's, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, maybe he was just being overwhelmed?

He let go of his vigilance, and turned to think about how much money he could make with this sum.

Just when Belus was about to leave angrily, the Persian behind him whispered something into Belus' ear.

Blue veins twitched on Bailusi's flushed forehead, sweat came out, his fists were released unwillingly, and he let out a long and heavy breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Lu Chengqing frowned at Belus's agreement, and couldn't help but give him a high look, then examined and looked curiously at the old Persian behind him.

I wondered in my heart, can this be tolerated?

Before he could speak, Belus glared at Lu Chengqing tightly and said, "It's just 100 million shi of grain and [-] Tang knives."

With his opening, the tense atmosphere eased.

"One million stones? Ten thousand Tang knives?"

Hearing this request, the corners of Lu Chengqing's eyes twitched, so it was so.

One million shi of grain, one shi weighs more than 100 catties, which translates to more than 100 million catties of grain, which is simply impossible.

In addition to the [-] Tang knives, although there is no restriction on the sale of salt and iron, not everyone can forge this thing. Once Li Shimin finds out, he will lose his head.

These two requirements are obviously impossible to meet.

Making impossible demands is a disguised form of not selling. Does it seem like you are fighting back?

Lu Chengqing completely let go of his doubts about his identity.

However, you haven't figured out yet, who is asking for help!

Lu Chengqing looked at the relaxed and smug expression on the other person's face, and couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said it calmly and generously.

"The Duke of this county does not have so much money and food, but he knows that there is someone who can afford this Persian jade seal. Why don't the Duke of this county introduce it to the prince?"

"This..." Belus was a little at a loss, but then the man's voice came from his ears, and he replied with a dark face: "Could it be that the county is talking about the current emperor?"

"It's the current sage." Lu Chengqing looked at Belus playfully: "If you can satisfy the current sage, let alone food and weapons, maybe you can even get soldiers!!"

"..." Belus fell silent for a moment, and his expression became helpless.

If Li Shimin could borrow it, he would have borrowed it long ago!This is clearly an excuse.

Thinking of this, Belus hesitated in his heart, and his face changed for a while, but in the end, thinking of asking for help, he could only speak with a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, just now you have offended me a lot, so let's expose this matter.

Please don’t have the same knowledge as me, the prince of Persia, Belus, the prince of Persia, has apologized to the county prince, and please speak directly to the point. "

While speaking, he respectfully served tea and apologized.

Lu Chengqing looked at Belus' humble attitude, with a satisfied smile on his face.

This is more or less the same, asking for help should have the attitude of asking for help.

"Okay, seeing your sincerity, don't blame the county magistrate for not giving you a chance.

A catty of grain costs two Wen, and grain worth 200 shi is worth [-] taels of gold. "

Bruce was reluctant after hearing that.

There is more than one catty of grain on the market for one penny, and instead of buying so much from you, there is no discount, but it doubles directly. This is too outrageous, do you really think you are wronged?

"Your Majesty, are you playing tricks on me?"

Lu Chengqing said with a look of indifference: "Business has plenty of time to talk slowly, but I have plenty of time. I wonder how much time the prince has?"

"Hmph, the prince doesn't believe me anymore. You can't buy a penny of food these days?" Belus was enraged by Lu Chengqing's words, and he got up angrily and was about to leave.

As soon as he got up, Lu Chengqing's brows were furrowed. Looking at the back of Belus, he thought for a moment.

The Persian didn't seem so anxious, and his family was not the only one selling grain, so he couldn't be let go.

"Slow!!" Lu Chengqing immediately stood up and called to stop Bellus who had just stepped out.

Called Billus and the Persian beside him to look at each other and exchanged a look.

done! !

Lu Chengqing came over, stopped a group of people, and said with a smile on his face.

"Hey, the prince is really impatient, how long has it been.

It's dark and windy tonight, so it's better for the prince to stay. The Duke of this county is willing to talk with the prince at night by candlelight to discuss important matters. "

"Eh..." Belus looked at the person beside him in a dilemma, and after getting a look of agreement, he said, "Okay."

"Come here, prepare the banquet and entertain the prince!!" Lu Chengqing nodded with satisfaction, and said to the butler behind him.

"Yes!!" The butler hurriedly arranged the banquet.

"Prince, please take your seat."

"How embarrassing..."

After some excuses, the two sat down together.

After drinking for three rounds, both of them were flushed from drinking, but the serious business discussion just started. Obviously, both of them are people who have been drinking for a long time.

Lu Chengqing's mouth was full of alcohol, and his tone was slow, but his expression did not change at all, and his figure was also motionless: "I wonder how much grain the prince wants to buy?"

"Of course, the more the better." Billus was also not drunk, but his face was flushed.

"The more the better, there must be a number!"

Belus pondered for a few seconds, then stretched out his index finger to make a gesture.

"One hundred thousand stones? That's not a small amount!!" Lu Chengqing raised his eyebrows, but he complained in his heart.

How did you buy such a small amount? One hundred thousand stones is only worth less than 1000 taels of gold. This is a bit too little.

Under Lu Chengqing's surprised eyes, Belus shook his head.

"It's not one hundred thousand stones, could it be... one million stones???" Lu Chengqing looked at Bellos with a somewhat shocked expression.

Bruce nodded and drank a glass of wine calmly.

"This..." Lu Chengqing frowned, suspecting that the other party was here to make trouble: "One million stone is absolutely impossible."

100 million shi of grain, even if it is available, I’m afraid I won’t give it to you. If I give it to you, then I don’t have to live?

"How much can the county magistrate provide?" Bellus asked with some disappointment.

"Up to 30 shi!" Lu Chengqing mentally calculated all the old grains in his family, and the sum was almost this amount.

Old grain that has been too old will depreciate in value, and there is actually no loss in selling it now, but some gain.

Chapter 105

"30 shi?" Belus pondered, 30 shi should be enough: "30 shi is 30 shi, so much food and grass is enough to meet urgent needs.

Everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty knew that Mr. Fan Yang was handsome and handsome, and he was a man of benevolence, righteousness and virtuousness. Today's opinion is really worse than hearing it once.

Come, my prince toasts the Duke. "

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Lu Chengqing raised his glass, and the two drank it together.

"30 stone grains, I wonder what price the prince will offer?" Lu Chengqing looked at Bellus' reaction from the corner of his glass while drinking.

30 shi, based on the calculation of a catty and a penny, the maximum is no more than 3000 taels of gold, and the old grain will be cheaper.

"Well..." Belus pondered for a while, and then said, "How about the prince willing to give 600 taels of gold?"

Lu Chengqing thought about it in his mind, this price is a bit profitable, at worst, a little more sand and stones are mixed, anyway, the other party probably won't come back, and it's a little tricky.

"it is good!!"

"Refreshing." Billus heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart became even more tense.

"Then I don't know when the prince will hand over the money and goods?" Lu Chengqing asked again.

"This..." When it came to the handover of money and goods, Bellos had a look of embarrassment in his eyes.

Lu Chengqing was startled, maybe he didn't have money to pay?

Immediately, he asked with sharp eyes: "The prince frowned tightly. Could it be that he has encountered difficulties, or is he too shy?"

"Hmm..." Facing Lu Chengqing's pressing question, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of Belus, his eyes dodged and he pondered.

Seeing this performance, Lu Chengqing frowned, and his face became gloomy. Could it be that he really didn't have any money prepared?

"Such a lot of gold is not a small amount. How can you carry so much gold with you?"

Bruce wiped the sweat off his forehead without leaving a trace.

"Really?" Lu Chengqing was a little skeptical, but he didn't say much. This is a common thing, and maybe he has to wait for the other party to prepare.

Bruce was silent for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed that he didn't have enough money.

Seeing this embarrassing look, Lu Chengqing frowned and wrote the word "no money" on his face. This business might not be able to continue.

In Lu Chengqing's eyes, Belus took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and said with a painful face.

"To be honest, this prince has been in exile for many years, spending a lot of gold and silver, and even the personal guards around him have betrayed this prince.

Today, there is only one jade seal, and I don't know if it can get into the eyes of the county magistrate? "

"Yuxi???" Lu Chengqing's eyes widened, this was unheard of.

The other party actually sold Yuxi, and was so embarrassed that his guards betrayed him!

However, it seems that it is not incomprehensible, after all, this prince is such a waste...

He looked at the useless prince for a while, and thought to himself that it was a pity that his asking price of 600 taels of gold was a bit low.

Bruce slowly opened the brocade box.

They saw a square jade seal appearing in front of the two of them. The most surprising thing was that a golden dragon could be seen in the transparent glass ball.

Suddenly there was a shortness of breath, and the servants around were all worth their eyes.

They have never seen such a big glazed jade seal! !

What made them even more unbelievable was that a dragon could be faintly seen in the glazed jade seal.

And Lu Chengqing's eyes widened even more, and he reached out to pick it up to see clearly.

But Belus immediately closed the box, firmly protected the brocade box, and stared at Lu Chengqing vigilantly.

"Hey, I lost my temper..." After apologizing, Lu Chengqing suppressed his excitement and asked Belus, "Why is there a dragon in this jade seal?"

Belus glanced at the servants around him from the corner of his eye, and Lu Chengqing immediately understood, and waved his hand to signal everyone to back off.

Seeing no one around, Belus said to Lu Chengqing with a mysterious face.

"I don't know if the county magistrate knows about that amber?"

"What does this glass have to do with amber?"
