The best county magistrate

When Yang Xuanchen said this confidently, a waiter from the inn came to the door of their room carrying tea.

"Sir, bring tea!"

Zhao Xue opened the door when she heard the sound. After putting down the tea, the waiter did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Yang Xuanchen's back thoughtfully.

When Yang Xuanchen turned around, there was a sharp look in his eyes. He examined the waiter for a few seconds and suddenly smiled brightly.

"I didn't expect that His Highness the Sixth Prince would personally serve me tea and water. I am truly honored."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wei and Zhao Xue both looked towards the waiter inside the room.

With an ordinary appearance and an ordinary temperament, how did he know that this person was the Sixth Prince?

Just when the two were puzzled, the waiter laughed, "As expected of you, Master Xiao Yang, you saw through my identity at a glance."

"Since the Sixth Prince has come in person, he must have something important to discuss. Would you like to sit down and chat?" Yang Xuanchen said in a gentle tone.

Park In-kang didn't bother to be polite with him. He picked a stool and sat down, crossed his legs and poured himself a cup of tea.

He glanced at the two girls with a calm gaze and chose not to speak, as if waiting for Yang Xuanchen to express his opinion.

"You two should go out first..."

Zhao Xue and Yu Wei looked at each other. Although they were full of curiosity, they knew that there must be something important to discuss between Yang Xuanchen and the waiter who claimed to be the Sixth Prince.

They nodded slightly and left the room, closing the door softly.

After seeing the two leave, Yang Xuanchen's smile disappeared, replaced by seriousness and earnestness.

“Sixth Prince, just tell me what you want and what you want to do.” Yang Xuanchen went straight to the point.

Park In-kang put down the teacup, his eyes deep, and he slowly said: "Master Xiao Yang doesn't seem to be surprised at all?"

Yang Xuanchen picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I didn't expect that I could drink Cuiyun Xianxia in Xiongguan City. Your Highness Sixth Prince must have spent a lot of money."

He said this, but he was cursing in his heart.

I gave you a chance to show your intentions, but you pretended first.

If you are not in a hurry, why take the risk to come and see me? Since you like to go around in circles, then I will accompany you. I have plenty of time anyway.

Yang Xuanchen's words made Park Inkang frown. From the time they entered the door until now, the two of them had only spoken five sentences in total.

But why do I feel like I'm always following Yang Xuanchen's pace? This shouldn't be right.

He should be shocked by his own appearance, why is he so sure?

"It's just a little change, not very expensive. My third brother gave me some a few days ago. I thought it tasted good, so I bought some more for myself." Park In-kang replied indifferently.

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, "If the Sixth Prince just wants to have a cup of tea with me, you can just send someone to tell me, why bother coming here in person!"

The smile on Park In-kang's face gradually froze. Yang Xuanchen's straightforwardness made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He knew that Yang Xuanchen was not the kind of person who would be easily led by others, and he himself did not like to be at a disadvantage in this psychological game.

"Lord Xiao Yang is indeed a man of his words, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Park In-kang adjusted his sitting position and looked directly at Yang Xuanchen.

"I came here this time to cooperate with you!"

Yang Xuanchen nodded slightly, indicating him to continue, but he was sneering in his heart.

He knew what Park In-kang's so-called cooperation was, and it was just an attempt to use him to achieve certain goals.

Park In-kang took a deep breath and continued, "Based on Lord Xiao Yang's operations over the past few years, he must be rich enough to rival a country."

"It's just that I am a little worried." He straightened his body and looked at Yang Xuanchen, "I wonder if Master Yang has the ability to protect the wealth he has worked so hard to get."

These two simple sentences struck Yang Xuanchen's heart.

At present, he still has too few people under his command. If there are any changes in the court or Emperor Jianwen becomes suspicious of him.

Then it is inevitable that such wealth cannot be kept.

Park In-kang gave Yang Xuanchen enough time to think, and then slowly spoke again, "I know that you are very interested in minerals, and it just so happens that my mother's family has a mineral vein."

His words made Yang Xuanchen's eyes light up, but he quickly hid them. "I guess the Sixth Prince's people have been lurking in Qingshui County for a long time, and they even know that I need a lot of ore."

"No, no, Lord Xiao Yang has misunderstood. I have never sent anyone to Qingshui County." Park In-kang explained.

"My fourth and eighth brothers secretly sold a lot of ore to you. They thought they did it perfectly, but they never thought that someone would find out."

"Since I have said so, I naturally have the ability to prevent them from selling a single piece of ore. So, in the end, you have no choice but to come to me!"

There was a gleam in Yang Xuanchen's eyes. Park Inkang's words were very straightforward, even threatening.

He did not continue the topic, but tapped the table lightly, as if thinking about something.

"Sixth Prince, I understand what you said." Yang Xuanchen finally spoke, his voice calm and firm.

"But I want to remind you that I don't like being led by the nose, and I don't like being threatened."

"I am a businessman at heart, and I like to treat everything as a business."

"It's just ore. I believe that if I offer three, five or even ten times the price, someone will sell it to me. You may be able to stop Park In Jae and Park In Bo, but you can't stop everyone in the world!"

There was a flash of surprise in Park In-kang's eyes. He didn't expect Yang Xuanchen to refuse so directly.

But he quickly regained his composure and smiled: "Master Xiao Yang has misunderstood. I simply don't like my fourth and eighth brothers. I don't mean to threaten them."

"How about we talk about this deal?"

Yang Xuanchen smiled slightly. He knew that there was a hint of temptation in Park Inkang's words, but it was more of a compromise.

He decided to give Park In-kang a chance while also leaving a way out for himself.

"Sixth Prince, can you name a price?"

Park In-kang nodded and fell into deep thought.

I have not been able to form my own rhythm in the confrontation so far. If I can't humble myself, then today's trip will be in vain.

He clenched his fists under the table and drooped his eyelids slightly as if he didn't want Yang Xuanchen to see what he was thinking.

Yang Xuanchen waited for a while before he spoke, "I can meet all your needs for ore, but I have only one request."

The moment Park In-kang changed his self-proclaimed name from "Ben Dian" to "I", Yang Xuanchen understood that he had won the confrontation.

No matter what his purpose or reason is, it seems that the amount of ore in the future will definitely make Guan Yao ecstatic.

"I still say the same thing, Sixth Prince, please feel free to speak."

"Okay! I have only one request. You must cut off trade with these two..."

"It's not impossible, but what benefit will it bring to me?" Yang Xuanchen interrupted him and asked.

"I'll give you 10% of the price of the ore!"

Yang Xuanchen sneered when he heard this, "Too little!"

Park In-kang was about to slap his hand on the table, but stopped halfway through raising his hand. He sighed heavily, "How much do you want?"

"How about this, business is all about win-win cooperation, 20%!"

His words made Park In-kang twitch his lips. He thought he wanted to reduce the price by 30% or 40%, but he was only satisfied with 20%.

A complex emotion flashed in Park In-kang's eyes. He knew that Yang Xuanchen had a big appetite, but a 20% price reduction was acceptable to him.

He needed Yang Xuanchen's cooperation, not only for the trade of minerals, but also for a deeper political alliance.

"Okay, I promise you." There was a hint of determination in Park In-kang's voice. He knew that this deal was worth it for him.

Yang Xuanchen smiled slightly. He knew that Park Inkang had made a concession, and this concession was beneficial to him.

He stood up and said, "Well, Sixth Prince, let's make a deal."

Park In Kang also stood up, "Deal."

"However, I also have a condition." Yang Xuanchen suddenly said.

Park In-kang raised his eyebrows, "What conditions?"

"After Jucaixuan starts operating in Beiliao, we will trade with silver bills." A cunning look flashed in Yang Xuanchen's eyes.

Park In-kang nodded, "Okay!"

Yang Xuanchen nodded with satisfaction, feeling extremely happy.

If you trade honestly, the money is still money. If you are not honest... hehe, then don't blame yourself.

Park In-kang sat down, and the two began an in-depth discussion on specific matters such as the quantity, price, and transportation of the ore.

After a long chat, we finally finalized some specific details.

Seeing that it was getting late and the matter was almost done, Park In-kang bowed to Yang Xuanchen.

"Master Xiao Yang, how about we just leave it as it is? I will go back to Huajing City to make arrangements first."

"I will send someone to Huajing City to find you in the next few days. I don't care about the other details." Yang Xuanchen spread his hands as if he didn't care.

Seeing him like this, Park In-kang felt angry, but he still said, "Okay, see you in Huajing City!"
