Chapter 7 The Carthage envoy comes to visit!
During his campaign in the Six Kingdoms, he witnessed Ying Tian's extremely terrifying military prowess.
I originally thought that was all, but I didn't expect that my financial talents were far beyond ordinary people.
It's hard to imagine what kind of monster the Ninth Young Master is.
"Zhang Jiu, you are personally responsible for this matter. You only have six days. No matter what, you must do your best to sell as much as possible."
Ying Tian glared at Wang Li.
then.
Turning his head, he opened his mouth and gave instructions.
Not only can they earn huge profits, but they can also weaken Carthage's power.
Once you have enough money, it is not difficult to dismantle the business group.
Now they are penniless and what they need most is start-up capital.
Zhang Jiu was about to speak.
But at this moment, there was suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps.
"Your Majesty, the Carthaginian envoy has arrived and wants to see you and establish peaceful relations with our Roman Empire."
A soldier came, knelt down on one knee, and spoke respectfully.
kindness?
Suddenly.
The three people present were stunned, and the expressions on their faces became wonderful.
As soon as he figured out how to trick Carthage, he sent it to his door in person.
"Of course I want to see you. This time I will personally receive you and bring you here."
Ying Tian smiled lightly.
Go to a few boxes nearby, take out some things, and put them on the table.
There was a hint of cunningness in the corner of his mouth.
cough cough.
You can’t blame us for cheating, it’s the enemy who is too naive!
After half an hour.
The envoy from Carthage was brought.
This man has blond hair and blue eyes, a very thin figure, and his clothes are elegant and luxurious.
With just one glance, you can tell that he is absolutely rich.
"See King of Rome."
Di Feng said respectfully.
Ying Tian sat on the dragon chair, his eyes calm and his expression full of indifference.
A touch of imperial power filled the air, and Di Feng's eyes narrowed, feeling very nervous.
In this young man, he felt a pressure from the superiors.
The only trace of contempt left in my heart was gone.
"We, the nation of Carthage, have unanimously decided not to continue waging war. We hope to strengthen economic exchanges with Rome and achieve common prosperity."
Di Feng took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and spoke word by word.
The nobles of Carthage are all businessmen, and they only care about profits.
Once a war breaks out, the situation will be turbulent and trade will be severely affected.
A peaceful environment is like a fish in water for businessmen.
If possible, he would naturally not want to continue the war with Rome.
And Ying Tian can lead his men to destroy the King of Rome, which is obviously stronger than the former Roman Empire. As a result, he is even less willing to go to war.
As for war wealth, this term only exists in later generations, and it was almost impossible in ancient times.
"We, the Roman State, love peace and are naturally willing to establish peaceful relations with you, but... we are afraid that you will be dissatisfied when the time comes."
Ying Tian deliberately didn't speak. Zhang Jiu's eyes moved slightly and he stood up and spoke.
In order to prevent Da Qin from leaking, Ying Tian did not change the country's name.
Still thinks of himself as Rome.
However, looking back now, it seems a bit unnecessary. After the time traveler arrives, news of the existence of Da Qin will definitely spread.
"I don't know, how can I say this?"
Di Feng was slightly startled.
I didn't expect things to go surprisingly smoothly.
As far as he knew, the Roman state was full of militants.
Could it be.
Is the new ruler so kind?
"Once you trade with each other, you may suffer serious losses."
"It's natural to feel dissatisfied."
Zhang Jiu rolled his eyes, thinking carefully, and quickly organized his words.
The purpose was not stated directly, but in another way.
<divclass="contentadv">As soon as these words came out.
Di Feng smiled so wildly.
Within tens of millions of territories and countless tribes, no country has ever been qualified to compare with Carthage in terms of brains.
"How much do you think this thing is worth? If we produce and sell it in large quantities, will we be able to absorb all your wealth?"
Zhang Jiu's eyes were filled with golden light, he took out a piece of paper and said with a half-smile.
then.
He picked up another pen and gently pushed it in front of Di Feng.
continued:
"This item is called white paper. It is cheap to make and can replace parchment in up to half a year."
Di Feng was stunned for a moment, frowned, and picked up the paper and pen on the table.
With just one glance, his expression changed and became extremely ugly.
Parchment paper was so expensive that ordinary people couldn't afford it.
Once word of this so-called blank paper spreads, it will definitely cause turmoil.
A drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead and fell to the ground.
"The cost of making a piece of paper is less than one copper coin. You only need one gold coin to buy hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper. What do you think of the cost?"
"I, the Romans, have always been kind and do not want to see your wealth lost."
Zhang Jiu looked like he was thinking about them.
Di Feng tried his best to smile, "It's just replacing the parchment, it's not a big deal."
after all.
Parchment paper is not a necessity.
But for some reason, when he saw the strange smile on Zhang Jiu's face, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"What if this thing is added?"
"This thing is called movable type printing. It can print books at a low cost."
“The two become one, and I, Rome, will control the thoughts of all the people.”
"If we are willing, we can completely dismantle the people at the bottom of your country."
The corners of Zhang Jiu's mouth raised upward, revealing a meaningful smile.
Only by suppressing Di Feng can the negotiation take the initiative.
Ying Tian sat beside him and didn't speak, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
If this guy Zhang Jiu were in later generations, he would definitely be a master of live streaming.
Every word was well chosen, making Di Feng unable to stop.
"Now do you still think that your country can benefit from trading with me, Rome?"
"This is our sincerity. I put everything on the record. Naturally, I don't want to have a war with your country. I hope everyone can make money together."
Zhang Jiu took a step forward, put his arm around Di Feng's shoulders, and looked like the two brothers were getting along well.
Every word Zhang Jiu said fell on Di Feng's heart.
Di Feng is not an ordinary minister, but the eldest son of Di, and he is very shrewd.
Naturally, it is clear that it is too easy to disintegrate Carthage after controlling the mind.
Printing + papermaking...
With these two things, the people below can definitely be controlled.
Zhang Jiu was really sincere when he said this at this time.
Although he comes from a different country, at this moment, his heart is filled with gratitude.
"King of Rome, Brother Zhang, I dare to ask, why are you telling me this?"
Di Feng frowned slightly and tried to ask.
Logically speaking.
As hostile forces, the two parties should not be so frank with each other.
"If a war breaks out, no one will make any money. Instead of wasting it, why can't we work together to make a lot of money?"
Zhang Jiu blurted out without even thinking about it. This was an excuse he had already thought of.
"Thank you for your honesty and selflessness, I really appreciate it."
"Your Majesty, let me boldly ask again. I wonder if you can sell us the papermaking blueprints. We are willing to pay the price."
Di Feng clenched his fists, with a hint of apology in his eyes, but he still said it.
This request is too much, but if we just cooperate and help Zhang Jiu and others sell paper, the benefits obtained will be greatly reduced.
and.
As long as technology was in the hands of Rome, they would be controlled by others.
