He had wanted to go out for a walk for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to ask, after all, the two leaders were still around.

"Okay, this way please."

So the team leader took them for a stroll and unknowingly arrived at the central commercial street of the Nagato area.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods in front of them, they also wanted to buy some, but they were not sure about the prices here.

"How are the prices here? Are you using RMB as well?"

"Yes, we use RMB here, do you use it too?"

The team leader was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the currency of the mysterious Great Zhou Dynasty was the same as theirs.

Then there will be no need to exchange foreign currency when exchanging goods, which is much more convenient.

"Yes, what are the prices here?"

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty mostly used traditional Chinese characters, and they basically used simplified Chinese characters, it was still a bit difficult for them to read these characters, and they could only barely feel that they were somewhat similar to their own characters.

"The prices here are quite low, but if you go to the city center, the prices will be slightly higher. There are a lot of people there, the demand is high, and the prices will naturally go up."

"Plus, we are a trading port, and in recent years, there has been an abundance of goods. Scarcity does not make things expensive, so prices are low."

"I see. That's really good. Then may I ask if the words on it are your common words?"

"Yes, this is our common language, and it is now basically universal."

"I see. In that case, shall we buy something? I'm a little hungry. I didn't have breakfast this morning!"

Gengzhi said bluntly from the side.

He was indeed hungry. He had been staring at the food and asking questions.

"Sure, I can take you to a very famous snack street. The food there is cheap and delicious!"

“Usually when people from other places come to visit, I always recommend them to go there.”

"That's great, take us there."

So the team leader took them to a very distinctive snack street, where they saw a variety of delicacies.

There are stinky tofu, skewers, and some soft and chewy pastries.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, the team leader's phone suddenly rang.

"Where are you now? The city leaders have arrived, bring them back quickly!"

It was the Minister of Customs who called.

"Okay, wait a moment, we'll be right back, we'll be there in about 10 minutes!"

"Okay, as soon as possible."

"Excuse me, everyone. Our leader has arrived. Shall we eat while heading back?"

"Oh, okay, okay, in order to prevent the leader from waiting too long, let's go back now and come back later when we have time."

Hua Ying said.

So, several people hurried back.

Huaying and Wang Wen were fine, but Gengzhi was in a bit of a mess.

He had just bought a lot of things and was very hungry, so he basically ate while walking, looking totally unpresentable.

"You look so embarrassing, don't you?" Hua Ying teased with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to eat. Anyway, no one here knows me, it's no big deal!"

"That's not necessarily true. You guys are the ones who often appear in live broadcasts of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Maybe there's a young man here who loves surfing!"

When the team leader said this, Gengzhi was shocked.

What if he was photographed like this and uploaded to the Internet, how would he be able to face people in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future?

"Well, sorry, I'll finish eating now and put on the mask, then they definitely won't recognize me!"

"Do you think I'm particularly smart?"

"Okay, smart, smart, you're the smartest, okay! But before you put on the mask, please wipe your mouth, otherwise the oil will seep out of the mask!"

"Hahaha."

The group was laughing and joking, and about 10 minutes later, they arrived at the door of their destination.

However, before entering, they changed their relaxed and cheerful state and became very serious. After all, they represented the image of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The team leader walked quickly to the front of the crowd and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in!"

A deep and powerful voice came from inside the door.

Then, the door was slowly pushed open from the inside.

I saw a middle-aged man appear in front of me. From the temperament he exudes, it is not difficult to tell that this person has a very high literary accomplishment. His every move is full of gentlemanly demeanor. Even before he speaks, he has left a deep impression on people.

"Hello."

"Hello!"

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty... Welcome everyone!"

"I am one of the spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. My last name is Geng!"

"I am also the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and concurrently the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nice to meet you!"

"I have heard of you all for a long time. Please come in."

"I am the main person in charge of Jiangcheng, that is, the mayor. On behalf of the people of our area, I warmly welcome you all!"

"Thank you, thank you very much. Please take a seat."

Afterwards, they all sat down. The team leader next to them was very smart. He poured a cup of tea for everyone, then quietly left the room and closed the door.

The team leader was very tactful and stood guarding the door.

He walked out of the room and said to the two guards at the door, "Go tell the others not to come into this office unless necessary. I will be on duty here. You can go out first."

"Yes."

The two guards took the order and left.

At this time, the sound of conversation was heard in the house. The team leader felt something was wrong when he heard it.

So he walked forward a few more steps and stopped only when he could no longer hear any sound from inside the house.

This is the Jiuzhou Kingdom. The army has strict discipline. Unless the leader indicates that you can listen outside or gives other hints, you have to stay away. You can't ask the leader to lower his voice when talking about business in the room.

"I wonder why you are here this time?"

The mayor asked in a tactful tone, looking at the three people in front of him.

"I'm sure you've heard about this before. It's about the trade between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Nine Zhou Kingdom's Jiangcheng."

"We are here for this matter, mainly to discuss the opening of the waterway."

"I see. That's great. The head of our military region went to the Great Zhou Dynasty and brought back this news, but he didn't tell us the specific plan. So, please allow me to report the situation to them first."

"Of course, go ahead, we'll wait here."

Wang Wen nodded at him and said.

"OK, thanks."

Then, the mayor named Jiang Bin walked into the inner room.

The inner room was a partition, which was specially set up in the office. It was obviously used to communicate some private matters, so it was soundproofed and no one outside could hear the sound inside. He dialed a mysterious number inside, but it was not directly to the Central Military Region, but needed to be transferred.

The number of the Central Military Region cannot be dialed casually. It must be transferred by an internal switchboard.

In order to find out who is calling, the caller will usually ask the other party strictly.

"Excuse me, who is calling?"

"I'm Jiang Bin from Jiangcheng!"

Callers can only report their identities so that the operator can report it to the person inside as soon as possible.

"Transfer agreed!"

"Please wait a moment. We will transfer you to the Central Military Region!"

Di-

As the sound rang out, another man's voice came from the receiver.

"Hello, this is the Central Military Region."

"Hello, I'm Jiang Bin from Jiangcheng, I need to transfer to Commander Yang!"

"Wait a mininute!"

The operator quickly called Commander Yang's office.

"Commander Yang, Jiang Bin from Jiangcheng wants to talk to you about something!"

"Please bring it in!"

"Ok!"

After many twists and turns, Jiang Bin finally got through to Commander Yang.

"Xiao Jiang, what brings you here? Is there something wrong?"

"Commander Yang, it's like this. Today, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to Jiangcheng. They said they wanted to discuss the friendly trade between the two countries mentioned last time, and to make Jiangcheng the first trading city."

"That's why they came. I remember General Xu said that if there are any problems, they can call you directly."

"Yes, that's true. Where are they now?"

Commander Yang was very excited when he heard this.

A few days ago, he was discussing this matter with several barons to see if they had any solution, but they were helpless.

……

At that time, their king was busy with affairs, and they had not yet formulated a perfect plan, so they did not disturb the Great Zhou Dynasty to inquire about the progress of the project.

Unexpectedly, people from the Great Zhou Dynasty actually came to them on their own initiative. For them, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to make a profit.

"They are now in the office near the port in Jiangcheng. I am receiving them here. Do you have any instructions?"

"Well, let's ask them to come to the Central Military Region. It just so happens that the barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty are here, and General Xu and his men are here too!"

"After all, this was a discussion among them, so we have to finish what we started!"

"Okay, should I send someone to take them there, or should you send someone to pick them up?"

"Send someone to send them to the border of Jiangcheng first. My people should arrive there at about the same time!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After hanging up the phone, both sides quickly made arrangements.

Commander Yang sent a plane to the handover point at the border.

At the same time, Jiang Bin contacted his guards and arranged for several military vehicles to come over.

"What's wrong, leader? Is there something wrong?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just send a car when I ask you to. Hurry up."

"Okay, I'll get ready now!"

After saying that, the guard left in a hurry, and Jiang Bin quickly returned to the guests.

"Excuse me, our commander, the general who facilitated this friendly trade, is currently in the Central Military Region, so we would like to invite you to discuss this matter with him!"

"Of course, our people will escort you throughout the journey, so you don't have to worry about getting lost or anything!"

"Okay, in that case, thank you for your help. Are we waiting here for the vehicle to arrive?"

Wang Wen smiled and nodded at him and said.

"Yes, it will take about ten minutes. A vehicle will come from the city center and take you to the border of Jiangcheng, where someone will pick you up."

"Okay, thank you very much! I just spoke to our king on the phone, and the king's meaning is very clear. We must win this project this time. After all, our two countries are in friendly trade, and we have no choice but to do so!"

"That would be great, of course. We have always hoped to have the opportunity to visit the magnificent buildings of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Oh, when we were watching the live broadcast, we all thought that the architecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty was magnificent, and your king was so young and promising!"

"No way, it's all because of the peers who set it off so well!"

This guy Gengzhi speaks directly without beating around the bush.

What this means is that it’s not that they are too good, but that others are too bad.

This made Jiang Bin not know how to respond.

At this time, Commander Yang.

He planned to send Shen Guo directly to pick up these people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After all, it was Shen Guo who went to negotiate at that time, so it was most appropriate for him to receive these people.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

It must be Shen Guo.

"Lao Yang, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so urgently?"

"Someone from the Great Zhou Dynasty has come, saying they are here for the contract we discussed last time, so I plan to send you to pick them up!"

"It just so happens that the barons are here too, so it'll be convenient for us to discuss things. What do you think?"

These words suddenly woke up Shen Guo, who was originally sleepy.

"They are coming? When did they come? Why was there no news before? And why didn't they say hello before they came?"

"You thought your relative called you before coming and said, 'I'm coming over, please prepare some food for me'!"

"They must have been prepared in advance, but we just never asked about it! Now that they are here, we have to entertain them well. Ask your grandson to tell those barons!"

"Then let them have a good talk and try to make the conditions more favorable to us. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"It's hard to say, right? After all, they are the protagonists, but I will definitely try my best to get a contract that is beneficial to us! You have to believe in my strength!"

"Okay, so I sent you to pick them up this time. I don't trust anyone else, don't you think?"

"Okay, I'll go then. I'll take my grandson with me to see them. If they want, will they come with me?"

"Okay, that's fine. You can bring as many people as you want. This is a grand welcoming ceremony for them anyway. It's considered giving them enough face!"

"Okay, that's it, I'll take everyone out first!"

At this time, the barons were still busy with their own affairs in their respective rooms, planning their own future.

"My dear grandson, what are you doing?" (End of this chapter)
