little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 234 Deal
The young man sitting there quietly, with delicate facial features, seemed to have a trace of childishness on his face, when he was silent and motionless, he looked like a pleasing painting hanging on the wall, but at this moment he raised his eyebrows and raised his head, with a sense of calmness. The fierce and domineering aura came towards him, and the almost suffocating oppression made Rodia instantly realize... This kind of familiar yet unfamiliar powerful aura, apart from Philip II the Great whom he has always admired and respected, the young prince in front of him is No.1.

Feeling anxious, he didn't dare to belittle any more, forcing Rodia, who had regained his sobriety, to be sensitive to the strangeness in Zhu Changluo's tone when he mentioned Haojing. These discoveries made him become Extremely disturbed, he turned his mind a few times, Rodia suddenly realized his purpose of entering the palace this time, as long as he could talk about the matter of the Five Elements Soil, as for other things, why worry about it yourself, there is His Majesty Philip II .

"Your Highness's words, I will definitely submit them to His Majesty in this country without reservation; as for the matter that I care more about the Five Elements and Earth, please feel free to tell me what your Highness wants."

The other party's subtle expression changes did not escape the eyes of Zhu Changluo, who had been observing him, and smiled slightly: "Your Earl is indeed proud, and to show my sincerity, I have prepared two plans, please choose."

Hearing that there were still two proposals, Rodia felt a little guilty for a moment, and smiled like an outdated flower: "Why are there two... proposals? Your Royal Highness is too polite, one is fine. "

Zhu Changluo smiled and shook his head: "This is a big deal, multiple choices are better than one bite."

Seeing the spring breeze blowing his face, the infected Rodia forced a smile back, feeling quite uneasy.Mo Jiangcheng on the side raised his head and glanced at Zhu Changluo secretly, he hesitated to speak.

Zhu Changluo nodded, and his eyes fluctuated for a while: "The first plan is very simple. The Earl buys goods from us every year, and then sells them back to your Spain. You can benefit from the traffic. It’s impressive. As for the price, just follow the market.”

Rodia nodded and did not make a sound. The originally reluctant smile had all been suppressed at this time, and he couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the second plan?"

"The second plan is that I will sell you the method of making the five-shaped soil. If my prediction is correct, within three years, Earl Rodia will become the richest man in Spain. In time, he will become the richest man in Europe. .”

For Wang An and Wei Chao, they didn't know what the Five Elements Soil was.But both of them are masters at observing facial expressions. At this moment, there is silence in Qinzheng Hall, and the only sound comes from the blushing Rodia who is about to bleed, panting like a bellows...the two Looking at each other, it must not be easy for this foreign devil to know what the five elements are.

Wang An and Wei Chao were not mistaken. At this moment, Rodia could use the words lightning, thunder and thunder to describe the ecstasy in his heart. He could hardly believe his ears. This prince was willing to sell the formula of Five Elements Soil to yourself?This news is almost inconceivable to Rodia, who has been dealing with the Ming Dynasty for a long time... In the eyes of Westerners, the things of the Ming Dynasty are very good and exquisite, such as gorgeous silk, jade-like porcelain, mysterious tea... ...But the production methods of these things are all secrets without exception. No matter how hard they try, they only learn the superficial aspects, but they can't even touch the essence of the inner essence.

Almost without thinking about it, Rodia made a decision in an instant, and stood up excitedly: "Don't think about it, His Royal Highness is too generous, I will choose the second one!"

Regarding his agitation, Zhu Changluo responded with a calm smile, raised his jade-like palm and pressed it down gently, signaling him not to get agitated, but to sit down and talk first.

At this moment, Rodia was respectful to Zhu Changluo from the heart, and after sitting down honestly, he reiterated: "Your Highness, I will choose the second one, and you can offer whatever price you want."

When it comes to merchants, Rodia is not the panicked look just now, with blue eyes of varying shades, secretly thinking about what price the other party will offer.But he knew that this one-and-done solution would definitely be worth a lot.Rodia, who had thought clearly before and after, was not only ready to bleed, but also secretly made up his mind: no matter what the cost, he must take this formula back, because he believed that what he brought back would definitely be a golden egg. chicken.

Facing Rodia's eager eyes, Zhu Changluo acted calmly, but Mo Jiangcheng was a little uneasy, and said softly, "Your Highness..." As if he understood what he was going to say, Zhu Changluo gestured with his eyes to comfort him. He smiled at him, and what Mo Jiangcheng was about to say suddenly fell silent.

Turning his head to Rodia, he said, "Your Earl has good eyesight and insight. It seems that you are very optimistic about the effect and profit of the Five Elements Soil?" Seeing Rodia's non-stop nodding, Zhu Changluo smiled and said indifferently: " In business talk business, I'm not polite anymore, just give this number."

While everyone was holding their breath, Zhu Changluo slowly raised a finger...

Looking at the slender jade finger, Rodia's heart beat violently a few times, and suddenly he forced a smile and said, "Your Highness means one hundred thousand?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changluoha laughed out loud: "Is the Earl joking with me?"

Rodia's face turned red and purple in an instant, and he took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat non-stop. Zhu Changluo, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, let out a cold snort from his nose: "Business pays attention to treating people with integrity, and never deceives customers with falsehood. If you still want to talk Go on, the Earl should show some sincerity."

Guilty and flustered, Rodia's complexion changed like a revolving lantern, and suddenly he gritted his teeth, and his voice became louder: "100 million taels! This is the largest amount I can come up with. I wonder what your highness thinks?"

When he heard the bid of 10 taels, Mo Jiangcheng, who had been sitting silently, showed no expression.

When 10 taels became 100 million taels, Mo Jiangcheng frowned slightly, his face was still gloomy and he did not look away.

For this price, Rodia is very confident, because he knows that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty only receives more than 200 million taels of silver a year, and he pays the entire Ming Dynasty's tax revenue for half a year at once. This young prince must be overjoyed promise?At the same time, Rodia also felt very heartbroken, 100 million, this is enough for me to go back and forth many times...but it is worth it!As long as you get the formula of the Five Elements Soil, the money will be paid back very quickly, and Rodia firmly believes in this.

It's a pity that he seemed to be wrong again. When he moved his eyes to Zhu Changluo's face full of confidence, what he saw was not overjoyed, but a calm face, as if there was no ripple in a pool of autumn water. Rodia Suddenly, an extremely ominous feeling rose in his heart... He seemed to have underestimated the prince's appetite.

The dead silence seemed to confirm Rodia's thoughts, until the big blue eyes that stared at the limit were bloodshot, and the muscles on his face were tense to inexplicable twitching. Rodia felt that he was about to faint and swallowed hard. Salivating, I finally couldn't help it: "...Your Highness, are you satisfied with this price?"

Zhu Changluo, who had been looking up at the sky, finally reacted, his eyes as clear as autumn water finally moved from the beam to his body, the two eyes met, Rodia suddenly shuddered, and Zhu Changluo's indifferent voice was heard It sounded in my ear: "One million taels is indeed quite a lot, but the Earl must be too shrewd."

As if he had been suffocated, Rodia's eyes instantly turned black, and he seemed to have chewed yellow lotus into his stomach, and the pain from his mouth to his heart was unspeakable: "Your Highness, the account cannot be calculated like this, 100 million taels is already a lot, please Your Highness, stop playing charades, you can just figure it out."

Regarding Rodia's gaffe and growl, Zhu Changluo was still noncommittal: "I believe that the value of the Five Elements Soil is far more than this number. I can see this, and I believe your Excellency can also see it."

He was even more treacherous than a profiteer, Rodia's teeth were itchy, he took a deep breath, and slapped two fingers at Zhu Changluo: "200 million, no more!"

Wang An and Wei Chao were already stunned, only Mo Jiangcheng frowned a little more.

For this new round of quotations, Zhu Changluo seemed to have lost his patience. His raised eyes lost their warmth and became as sharp as a blade: "...1000 million!"

Yes, you heard it right, not one hundred thousand, not one million, but 100 million!

Once this almost illusory number was reported, everyone present was shocked... Mo Jiangcheng's brows finally relaxed after Zhu Changluo spit out the number, revealing a knowing smile.Contrary to everyone's reactions, the person involved, Rodia, stood there with dull eyes and gaping mouth. The incomparable shock did not prevent him from hearing the voice from the bottom of his heart very clearly... There were [-] of them. The sound of grass mud horses galloping past.

...Rhodia is really angry!He slammed his palm on the table with great force, and the blue and white teacup on the table jumped a few times and fell to the ground. With a crisp sound, everyone was finally pulled from the shock to reality.

"Your Highness, you must be sincere when doing business. If you open your mouth like a lion, this business cannot be discussed."

Rodia, who was already crazy, completely lost his composure, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, he was breathing heavily, and the muscles on his face twitched like a sign of a stroke.

Zhu Changluo's face was as calm as water, without any fluctuations: "It's really funny that the earl is so restless for a mere 1000 million taels."

"The price is not worth it, why is it so funny?" Rodia said indignantly, "Your Highness knows it well, but it is obviously not sincere to charge such a sky-high price."

Zhu Changluo's smile faded away, originally he was still smiling like a spring breeze, but after putting down his face, it turned into a deep autumn chill: "If there is no sincerity, why do you spend so much trouble today? The earl is short-sighted and cares about mere petty gains, but in my opinion it is not enough. It’s just throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, it’s extremely stupid.”

It was obvious that he was the bully, but he was scolded bloody. Rodia stared at Zhu Changluo with his round eyes widened in grief and indignation.

"When the five-element soil arrives in your Spain, I'm afraid it won't be able to sell for 100 million taels of silver a year, but what about one year? Five years? Ten years? One Spain is not enough? What about Portugal? What about your entire continent of Europe? ?”

"Can these places add up and calculate how much money you can make in a year? Like that, do you still think 1000 million is so amazing?"

"If you haven't even thought about this, I can only say that I found the wrong person." Having said that, Zhu Changluo stood up, his eyes turned contemptuous and a little regretful: "The business is not forced to sell and buy. Our Daming has There is an old saying, if there is no righteousness in business, let Brother Lao Mo send the Earl back home, and today’s incident will be treated as if it never happened.”

Looking at Rodia with straight eyes, Mo Jiangcheng quickly stood up knowingly: "Caomin respects His Highness's decree. Please rest assured, Caomin will bring people back as soon as possible. I believe many people will be willing to do this with His Highness." Business." Zhu Changluo smiled slyly: "Brother Lao Mo will worry about it."

Mo Jiangcheng smiled slightly, stopped talking, turned to Rodia and said, "Let's go, there's no point in staying any longer." After pulling a hand, he found that the other party didn't move at all. He looked up in surprise, but Noticing that Rodia looked at Zhu Changluo who was about to turn around and leave with a ferocious expression on his face, he suddenly shouted: "... 1000 million is 1000 million, deal!"

Zhu Changluo, who had walked a long way, turned around suddenly, his eyes shining brightly: "As expected of the Earl, you have courage and vision!"

Rodia, who was finally praised, did not have the slightest joy. The pride and ambition when he shouted out 1000 million disappeared instantly, and he said with a sad face: "However, I can't get that much money now, and I can only get 600 at most. Ten thousand taels, can your Highness please accommodate the remaining balance?"

What are you talking about without money?Empty glove white wolf... Wang An had already opened his mouth aside, but he never expected that Zhu Changluo Fei was not at all unhappy when he heard this sentence, and the smile on his face was a little bit bigger than before: "I am big tomorrow!" Chao has always been open-minded and will not tolerate anything. Since the Earl has difficulties, I have a compromise idea, I wonder if you agree or not?"

For some reason, seeing the happy smile on the other side's face, everyone, including Rodia, shuddered shiveringly...
