Chapter 2925 The business of exchanging food for prisoners of war has been finalized... (please subscribe and ask for tickets)

Hearing the complaint from his king, Sha Zhaqianfu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the king must have been moved too.

After all, the Silla prisoners of war who might become factors of instability were sold in exchange for a large amount of food that could be used to appease the people of the newly occupied land.

Only with food can those people stay at home with peace of mind and survive this cold winter.

This is very beneficial for Baekje to control the population and people's hearts in the newly occupied land in the shortest time. Put an end to the incitement and encouragement of these former Silla people by the Silla government-in-exile.

What's important is that I can accept those rich gifts that shopkeeper Gu gave me with peace of mind.

Having said that, many of my family's nephews also made great contributions in this battle of destroying Xin, and captured many Silla prisoners of war.

As long as the king nods his head, then the Sha family can also benefit a lot from it.

"The price given by the Han and Tang Trading Company is really too low. Even if the king provides 100,000 prisoners of war to the Han and Tang Trading Company, the food they get is only a million shi, not to mention that there are so many prisoners of war for them..."

"Qing, this important task can only be entrusted to you. No matter what method you use, you must raise at least one million shi of grain."

"You need to know that the newly occupied land not only needs to survive this cold winter, but also needs to have the physical strength to carry out the spring plowing in the next year, and persist until the autumn harvest. I am afraid that the food shortage can be alleviated."

"There is no one million stones, and we will eventually need 800,000 stones. In addition, we also need a large amount of cotton cloth produced by the Han and Tang Dynasties..."

As Fuyu Yici's mouth moved, Sha Zha Qianfu's face became more and more ugly.

"Your Majesty, with so many supplies, just relying on the prisoners of war we have captured, I'm afraid..."

"The king only needs the result. As for whether the prisoners of war can be exchanged for enough supplies, Qing Lao can only think of other ways."

"...Please ask the king to make it clear." Hearing this difficult request, Sha Zhaqianfu hesitated for a long time, and finally felt that he still could not bear this responsibility.

After two sticks of incense, Sha Zha Qianfu left the palace, and after a few words to his confidants, he hurried towards his mansion.

Not long after Sha Zha Qianfu returned to the mansion, someone came to report that the shopkeeper Gu of the Hantang Commercial Bank had entered the mansion.

"Haha, come here, shopkeeper Gu, please sit down quickly."

"I've seen Da Zoping, the villain saw Da Zoping refreshed and flushed, isn't there some great joy?"

"Treasurer Gu, you guessed wrong. It's just that the old man lived up to the entrustment of Shopkeeper Gu and offered the plan of exchanging grain for prisoners of war to my king."

"Although my king thinks this strategy is very good, the price given by Master Gu is really too low..."

Hearing these words, shopkeeper Gu felt relieved, and felt happy.

"Da Zuoping's words are wrong. My business in the Han and Tang Dynasties is the most important thing in business fairness, and we have also made an estimate before quoting. Those Silla prisoners of war staying in Baekje will do no harm to the current Baekje. One benefit."

"Besides, Baekje's money and food are wasted in vain. If it is transferred to our Han and Tang Commercial Bank, not only will Baekje not need to spend money and food, but it will be able to obtain a large amount of supplies, which will be used to govern the government and stabilize the people in the newly occupied land. This is such a benefit..."

Seeing that the shopkeeper Gu did not let go at all, Sha Zha Qianfu struggled for a long time, but found that Baekje had nothing to handle Hantang Commercial Bank.

That is to say, the initiative to do this business is completely in the hands of the Han and Tang Commercial Bank, but the problem is that the requirements of their own king also need to be met.

In the end, Sha Zha Qianfu slapped his thigh and directly stated his concerns. Anyway, that's the case, what the king needs, can't be less.

Moreover, the decisive nature of your king, if your Han and Tang business houses do not make concessions, it is very likely that they will fall apart.

"...Shopkeeper Gu, this old man is definitely not threatening you, it's just that Baekje is really struggling right now.

Therefore, as long as Hantang Commercial Bank can meet the material requirements of Baekje, apart from those prisoners of war, there is another way to provide Hantang Commercial Bank..."

Shopkeeper Gu stared blankly at the whispering Baekje boss, and couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Sure enough, this is the reason why it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times, and these small countries with few people will easily become victims of war.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was so powerful and powerful that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. This is really the luck of the people of Tang Dynasty.

When Sha Zha Qianfu finished speaking, shopkeeper Gu waved his hand, and began to enter the stage of bargaining.

"Since Da Zuoping treats me with sincerity, and the villain is also a cheerful person, then, a grown man can pay twelve stones, or eight horses of white cloth, while old and weak women and children can pay eight stones, or five horses of white cloth." Dieb..."

"No matter how much Da Zoping gets, my Hantang Commercial Bank will pay the same price."

"No, no, the value that an adult male can create for your Han and Tang commercial firm must far exceed this value. The old man thinks that an adult male can be exchanged for twenty shi, or fifteen bolts of white cloth ..."

"How is this possible? Our Hantang Trading Company is doing business, and if we want to transport these disobedient young men by sea, it will take a lot of risk..."

In Da Zuoping's mansion, the lights were brightly lit all night, and shopkeeper Gu and Nasha Qianfu stayed up for a whole night.

Even shopkeeper Gu had to recruit a few tents from the Han and Tang Commercial Bank, and spent a whole night abacusing ~lightnovelpub.net~ Only then did the transaction between the two parties be preliminarily finalized.

With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, he staggered out of Da Zuoping's mansion. Shopkeeper Gu felt that yesterday was the most difficult business he had ever done.

It seems that this Baekje boss also has the potential to be a shrewd businessman.

"Let's go, hurry back to the firm. We must pass this news to Dengzhou as soon as possible, so that Mr. Cheng can know that we have settled the matter."

Although the group stayed up all night and had dark circles under their eyes, they were very energetic. Everyone in the Hantang Commercial Bank hurried back to the commercial bank and did not have much time.

Some carrier pigeons fluttered away against the biting cold wind.

As long as Cheng Sanlang and the others received the news, I believe it would not be long before a large number of ships from Han and Tang dynasties would appear on the coast of Baekje carrying a large amount of grain that had already been accumulated in Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay, which is the location of Qingdao in later generations, but in this era, it can only be regarded as a small fishing village, the kind of non-famous port that doesn't even have a bard singing Fisherman's Wharf.
