"Of course it's impossible to give these things to them. Qingrui, do you have any good ideas?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"I think that some of the salt can be sold. As long as the method of making salt is in our own hands, everything else will not be a problem." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
"What about the food?"
"If we don't sell the grain, we won't have enough to eat. Even if we want to sell it, it's not the time to do so now." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. There was finally some grain in the national treasury, and she was unwilling to sell it.
"We can replace it with something else. Daqin already has a lot of fabric in stock, and the market is basically saturated now. We can sell some of it to other countries. Similarly, the weaving machines cannot be passed on."
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the pen and made comments on the memorial.
"Who do you think is suitable to go for trade? Zhang Han and Wang Li have no experience in business. If we let them go to negotiate, we won't know how much loss our Great Qin will suffer." Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhao Qingrui.
"Let Brother Jianglu go, and let him take Yuan Shenbai with him." He said after a moment of hesitation. Since his father is preparing to conquer the world and unify the world, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have much significance. Yuan Shenbai also entered Zhisu.
With this guy in the negotiations, there will definitely be no problems.
As for bringing Jiang Lu along, it was to let him gain more experience. As the Pinghuai Order, if he didn't understand these aspects, she would definitely find a way to change his position.
Jiang Lu is currently doing a good job as Pinghuai Ling, so she wants him to go to the negotiations because she also wants to see his ability.
"Jianglu? Can he do it?" Ying Zheng did not have much confidence in his sons. These trash could not even beat Hu Hai, and he felt disgusted with them.
"Don't we have Yuan Shenbai following us? Yuan Shenbai knows what he's doing and won't suffer any loss. Brother Jianglu has been the Pinghuai Order for more than a year. He's a prince of the Qin Dynasty, and no one in Xianyang dares to do anything to him. In fact, we can't see how capable he is here. This is a good opportunity." Zhao Qingrui said softly.
These brothers are not stupid. Since she is in charge of Daqin, it would be a waste to make use of these helpers.
"Yes, if he can't even do this, then let him go and keep Hu Hai company."
The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. If they were to keep Hu Hai company, they would probably collapse.
After the decision was made, the order was quickly sent back to Xianyang.
-----------------
Jiang Lu was very surprised when he received the order, but he still took the order honestly and began to pack up and head towards Lingnan.
"Mr. Jianglu, what brings you here?" When they were about to set off, Jianglu called Yuan Shenbai over.
Feng Quji was also called over.
"Speaking of the trade with the Maurya Empire, do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Lu asked. He was a little unsure. This was the first time he had done such a thing, and he was a little hesitant.
"Didn't His Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess say that all we need to do is trade salt and cloth? What are you worried about, young master?" Yuan Shenbai asked in surprise. In his opinion, this was not a big deal at all.
The people who came for this trade should be officials from the Maurya Empire, and it was a trade between the two countries.
No matter what, as long as Daqin doesn't suffer any loss, that's his goal.
"Well, Lord Yuan is right. Young master, just keep calm." Feng Quji nodded. Trade was a small matter. What they were more interested in was the Maurya Dynasty.
They had never heard of this place before, but now they had come to the territory of Qin by boat and wanted to trade with Qin.
This country may pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty, and this is the purpose of Jiang Lu and his men going there.
If Ren Xiong was not seriously ill, they would have called him over to question him in detail.
Lingnan is located on the coast. These people from the Maurya Dynasty came here and can speak the language of the Great Qin. It is obvious that this is not their first time here.
This time, the people of Daqin felt threatened, as they had never heard of this country before.
"I'm just a little unsure. Father said that we can only trade salt and cloth. I'm not sure what quality of goods we should bring out and how to exchange them. I'd like to ask you two to come over and discuss it." Jiang Lu said seriously.
He is clear about his own strengths and weaknesses, and he can also ask questions humbly.
As an old man in the court, Feng Quji basically understood all the affairs in the court. He had some idea about it when he made the decision.
"Where is Lord Yuan? His Highness has high hopes for you. Do you know how much you want to exchange these two things for things from the Maurya Dynasty?" Feng Quji paused and looked at Yuan Shenbai.
Yuan Shenbai knew that this man was Feng Jie's servant before, but he didn't expect that he was actually the prince's man.
If Yuan Shenbai hadn't been a good person, they probably wouldn't have tolerated him.
"Prime Minister Feng, I think there is no need to rush about trade. I plan to visit Lord Ren Xiong to learn about the situation of the Maurya Dynasty and see what they have that my Great Qin needs." Yuan Shenbai said respectfully. Since they want to trade, they naturally have to maximize the benefits.
"Ren Xiong is seriously ill and I'm afraid he won't live for many days. Are you sure you can learn about the Maurya Dynasty from him?" Feng Quji raised his eyebrows.
"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can start with the envoy from the Maurya Empire." Yuan Shenbai smiled.
"Well, just go ahead and do it. Remember, everything should be based on the interests of Daqin." Feng Jie nodded. He was very optimistic about this young man because he was brave and careful.
After the discussion, Yuan Shenbai went to find Ren Xiong.
Ren Xiong is now seriously ill. He is in a daze every day and cannot get up at all. As an important official in the court, he has made great military achievements for the Qin Dynasty. After he became seriously ill, the imperial physician went to see him several times, but unfortunately he was still not cured.
When Zhiyuan Shenbai came over, Ren Xiong was rarely sober.
Looking at the pale man in front of him who was suffering from illness, Yuan Shenbai felt a little emotional. As expected, health is the most important thing. Illness is like a mountain falling.
"Greetings, General Ren." Yuan Shenbai bowed.
"It's Lord Yuan. Lord Yuan is not working in Ping Huaicheng. What important matter has brought him to my mansion?" He was quite surprised to see Yuan Shenbai. If the butler hadn't reminded him, he would not have gone to meet Yuan Shenbai at all.
Over the past year or so, Daqin has changed so much, and there are so many new faces in the court that he is not used to it.
"There are indeed some things I want to know from General Ren. I wonder if General Ren's health can hold up?" Yuan Shenbai was a little worried about Ren Xiong's health. He didn't know what disease he had. He suddenly fell ill and even the imperial physician couldn't save him.
"I'm fine, cough cough. If Lord Yuan has anything you want to ask, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know." Ren Xiong coughed and said seriously.
