[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing
Chapter 37
The Lord of Che Chi Kingdom has been walking on eggshells recently.
First, the three national teachers he had always relied on turned into monsters for no reason.That's all, he had doubts about the origins and abilities of these three people. He could open up territories on his own, but he was willing to hide under him to be a national teacher. It was obviously very suspicious. However, these three monsters were still capable Yes, the ruler of the country is greedy for this magical power that cannot be done by human beings, so he naturally pretends to believe in them.
However, with the disappearance of the three monsters and the visit of the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, the king knew that it was time for him to stand in line. There are many other names of "Buddhist Kingdom". However, according to the meaning of Tang Xuanzang, the Tang king intends to recruit them to achieve a great cause, but the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is an orthodox Taoist school. It is said that Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family, was the founder of the Taoist school. Human beings are the incarnation of the Taishang Laojun, one of the Sanqing, in the mortal world.
This is a bit interesting.
The king of Che Chi Kingdom was originally ambitious, and he had heard about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. After Tang Xuanzang told the conditions given by the King of Tang, he thought for a moment, and immediately agreed.Let’s not talk about whether the Tang king’s army can beat him to Chiguo, if he can, then he will be an internal response, and it would be awe-inspiring to be a king with a larger fiefdom than now; if not, then he agrees now There is no need to do all the things at that time.
It's like a worthless transaction.
But now, a problem arises: Tang Xuanzang said that he would go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures after changing the official documents, but now he has been stranded in Chechi Kingdom for more than ten days. Could it be that he was implying something?
Before he could figure out the key point, he received the following information, saying that the eminent monk from Tang Dynasty was buying those unwanted dates at a high price in Che Chiguo. One bucket of wheat is exchanged, but now five buckets of wheat flour can be exchanged, not wheat, but milled wheat flour!
Let alone ordinary people, even many rich and noble families have picked the date palm slaves and servants who were never eaten before, and exchanged them for wheat noodles.The food in the Western Regions is very precious. Even if it is just wheat flour, the accumulation of a small amount becomes a lot, which is not a small fortune for ordinary people.
Leah and Lido have been particularly happy lately.Children like them could only help the family gather some firewood and dig some wild vegetables. Since the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty came, all the children in their village began to pick dates with baskets on their backs.The adults use machetes to cut off the dates and branches from the date palm trees, and they help to pick the dates. If you pick a basket full, you can get a wooden spoon of wheat noodles, which weighs about half a catty. , You can get several catties of wheat flour in a day, which is almost worth the food that an adult can earn by doing hard work for a rich man's family for a few days!
"I really hope that the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty can stay in Chechi forever." During the break, Li Duo took out a wheat flour pancake he had saved in the morning from his bosom, broke it open, and gave the big half to his younger sister Leah. I filled my stomach with the cold water in the water bag.
Pancakes made of pure wheat flour like this can only be eaten during the Harvest Festival, but now they can be eaten every day, because the wheat flour they bring back every day can make dozens of such pancakes .
"It would be great if the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty was the king..." Liya muttered softly, but her brother covered her mouth.
"Don't ever say this sentence in the future, remember it? If those high officials hear it, they will be beheaded." Li Duo seriously warned his sister, although he himself had thought so in his heart, if the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty could do it The king of their Chechi country would like to, but he knows that this is impossible.
I heard that in that distant eastern country, the nobles wore soft and gorgeous silk like clouds, and the exquisite embroidery on them looked exactly like the real ones. In the country, it is used to feed horses. The nobles eat a kind of food called rice. The price of a load of rice can buy their whole family.
Lido couldn't imagine what kind of life that was. Perhaps, the gods in the sky lived that kind of life, right?How could the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty who lived in such a country stay in their Chechi country and become kings?
Kings don't have silk soft and rich like clouds.
In fact, even though the common people were afraid of the deterrence of the imperial power and did not dare to speak their minds, the king of Chechi Kingdom still heard some rumors that it was false to say that he did not hate in his heart, but more of it was fear.The prestige of the Great Tang Iron Cavalry is known to all the countries in the Western Regions. Taking down a mere Chechi country is as easy as crushing an ant to the king of Tang.
Fortunately, the king did not worry for too long. After receiving enough dates, Tang Xuanzang and his party left.
This guy is the most disloyal, he said that he was afraid of delaying the land reclamation, so he took the three unlucky national teachers back to the Heishui River a few days ago, and took a lot of date palm saplings along with him, saying that he brought them back Try all kinds of things, if you can grow a job, let Wu Cong don't forget to go to his place to collect dates next time, it is really a chance to make money, Wu Cong looked at his back in a hurry to go back to open up wasteland to make money, and felt that this guy Sooner or later, he will become the richest man in the Dragon Clan.
Unsurprisingly, the dates were fetched a good price by Wu Kong. This kind of natural sweets is an irresistible delicacy for Star Alliance people who are used to artificial desserts. It's really big. Wu Hong's auction base price was only set at 120 star coins per catty, but he couldn't stand the crowds, so he raised the price to the end, and even got more than 1600 star coins per catty. The administrator still complained that he set the reserve price. It was too low, so he had to explain it to others, saying that he wanted to do long-term business.
Behind the scenes, Wu Kong contacted the merchant who bought the date palms, and sent him a pair of lambs that he had prepared in advance. Originally, this was agreed, whoever took the date palms, apart from the product itself, The owner will also give a pair of special pet cubs from the origin of the date palm.
"This is clearly a sheep!" The local rich boss - Wu Yu, who started out as a grain trader, couldn't help being a little speechless.
"This is a lamb of pure ancient earth blood, bred naturally." Wu Hong smiled and looked at Mr. Wu, who has the same surname as him, "Of course, if you really don't like the gift, we can take it back."
"Yes! Why don't you?" Wu Yu glared at him, and ordered the bleating lamb to be hugged and nursed. Although he said he hated it, who would lose his temper with the snow-white, innocent and cute Pleasant Goat with big eyes? Woolen cloth?
"Okay, let's make a long story short. I have a fixed date supply channel here, and I want to negotiate a long-term deal with Mr. Wu." Wu Yu glanced at Wu Yu. This person's connections in the Star Alliance are not ordinary. , maybe, he can fulfill his wish for himself.
"Tell me about your additional conditions." When it came to business matters, Wu Yu also became more cautious. He didn't believe that the young man in front of him would be so stupid as not to bid for such a high-quality, even profitable source of goods. Just send him rich for nothing.
Unless, he has something in his hand that none of the other competitors have, and this young man desperately needs such a thing.
"Mr. Wu is a straightforward person, so I won't go around in circles. I heard that Mr. Wu's food procurement points are all over the entire Star Alliance, and even those newly discovered planets also have your distribution points." Speaking of this, Wu Hong couldn't help but tense up. The palm of his hand, the heartbeat began to speed up. He knew how rare it was to have a face-to-face conversation with a business tycoon like Wu Yu. He had to seize this opportunity, for himself and for Tang Xuanzang.
"What do you want to do? Let me tell you first, I only do serious business."
"President Wu misunderstood, look at me, I don't look like a villain doing evil, right?" Wu Cong sent two photos to Wu Yu with a bitter face, "This is my parents, they have been missing for more than 200 years Oh my god, I called the police, and I also asked those people for help in private, but they all said they couldn’t find it, but I’m not reconciled... As long as it’s not confirmed that the spaceship my parents were on crashed, I have to keep looking.”
"Mr. Wu, I know you have a wide range of connections. You can go to some places where the police can't go. I have not only dates in my hand, but also other good things. As long as you can help me find news about my parents, no matter what Life and death, I can give you a promise, a contract is also fine, from now on the goods in my hands, at the same price, you have the priority to cooperate."
Wu Yu didn't expect him to make such a request. He froze for a moment, then smiled: "It's just looking for two people. In fact, as long as you put forward this condition, I believe that most, no, it should be said that all those who want your goods People will find you for you, so why should you..."
Probably because he has been in the business all his life. In Wu Yu's view, the pursuit of business is to maximize profits. Wu Hong's approach seems a bit ridiculously naive to him.
"No, I think it's worth it!" Wu Hao insisted, "Finding more people can certainly improve efficiency, but I can't be sure if there are any people with evil intentions here. If my parents are found, I want to Taking the opportunity to kidnap and blackmail..."
This was the main reason why Wu Kong didn't dare to find someone with great fanfare.
"Okay! I promise you! However, I have to ask someone to investigate first. I hope you can understand that if your parents disappeared because they were involved in something terrible, then our cooperation will be over." Wu Yu Although I was touched by Wu Hong's filial piety, he has a family and a business after all, and it is impossible for him to get into any trouble because of his temporary compassion. To put it bluntly, there are missing persons in the Star Alliance every year. Is it an accident after all? Missing, or messing with someone who shouldn't be messed with, no one knows.
"It should be." Wu Hao is not afraid of Wu Yu's investigation at all. In fact, he now hopes that someone can help him to investigate whether his parents really disappeared in an accident in the spaceship, or was someone tampering in the middle. He wasn't afraid of causing trouble, but what he was afraid of was that he didn't even know what that trouble was.
First, the three national teachers he had always relied on turned into monsters for no reason.That's all, he had doubts about the origins and abilities of these three people. He could open up territories on his own, but he was willing to hide under him to be a national teacher. It was obviously very suspicious.
