The merchants who can appear here are all people who are well-connected in the seven kingdoms and have extensive networks of relationships. They are all very shrewd and will not act until they see a clear benefit.
Therefore, if you want to put the "spring reward money" they are holding tightly into your own pocket, you can forget about it unless you have something special to offer.
As Abbot Miku of Wujue Temple said, these merchants were all well-traveled and knowledgeable people. Although they were all attracted by the dragon-cart made by Zheng Quchi...
That luxurious configuration, that extravagant enjoyment, and that top-notch appearance... In short, just because it looks good doesn't mean it's really good; it also needs to have real practical value.
Some of them impulsively "made purchases," but others remained cautious, asking the introducer various questions.
"Excuse me, craftsman, did you design and manufacture this carriage?"
"Yes, when I asked those two earlier, they said it was designed by someone named Aqing. Are you that Aqing?"
"Are you craftsmen from the Kingdom of Ye? Or are you just artisans who were poached by the Kingdom of Ye with a large sum of money? I really don't believe that the people of the Kingdom of Ye could still have such craftsmanship."
Zheng Quchi was surrounded. She saw that these merchants were coming in a menacing manner, like hungry green-eyed wolves.
But she wasn't afraid of the occasion, and of course, she had to deny her identity first.

It's important to understand that the term "shady merchant" isn't just a figure of speech. There's no business without shady dealings. Without the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" manipulating things behind the scenes, ordinary craftsmen would be ripped off if they tried to do business directly with merchants.
It must be said that the reputation of "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" as an intermediary has always been excellent in the industry.
“You’ve misheard me. My name isn’t Aqing, but I can answer any questions you may have about this dragon carriage.”
"We are craftsmen from the Kingdom of Ye, without any deception. This dragon-carved chariot was also designed and built by craftsmen from Ye, without any assistance or participation from craftsmen from other countries!"
She engaged in lively debates with the group of businesspeople, treating herself merely as a tool to answer their various questions and concerns.
Upon hearing her claim to be a "craftsman from Ye Kingdom," the merchants were all incredulous, and many felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, their previous excitement and enthusiasm completely gone.
How could those who trade with other countries not know what kind of things the craftsmen of Ye Kingdom produced?
