Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Envoy Bargaining
Meng Nuo didn't want to go back to Nanzhao at all. She had just seen a handsome man with a red armband on the street, and then she found that there were also good-looking soldiers patrolling the street.
There was even a Hu person.
Meng Nuo was dazzled and decided not to dwell on the relationship between Zhong Diyan and the Princess of Anping.
Meng Nuo marveled at the prosperity of Lingzhou, and was even more surprised that there was a fan club of calligraphy and painting ladies here.
Meng Nuo's maid was illiterate. Every time she finished reading the Li County Monthly Report, she had a lot of emotions that she wanted to vent, but unfortunately, there was no one around her who shared the same ideals.
Therefore, when Monno stepped into this book club, he felt very novel.
This book club is not open to everyone. There are certain requirements and you need to answer some detailed questions about the book.
But as long as you read the book carefully, you can always answer it.
Monno crossed the threshold and was led into some mysterious organization.
The person who led her first told her that their book club was a formal one and they sometimes exchanged letters with the calligraphy and painting ladies.
Meng Nuo blinked his eyes and said, "I...I also want to communicate with the calligraphy and painting lady."
The man said, "We can only communicate once every two months to unify the opinions and greetings of all book fans. Please come back after two months."
Meng Nuo felt a little regretful because she returned to Nanzhao two months later.
The female student pointed to several slips of paper on the wall. "Most of us in the fan club are members of a certain society. It's hard to get together for discussions, so we all communicate like this. We start all over again every three days."
Curious, Meng Nuo approached and saw the first note read, "I've encountered another fool talking about my scumbag husband today. It really makes me angry."
A second note immediately seconded the sentiment. "As soon as the male student mentions a scumbag husband, he knows everything."
"Please don't talk to a blind eye. Instead, look forward to next month's update."
"I agree. Although I'm not a student, I'm not happy to hear some of these gentlemen speak so arrogantly. I'm going to argue with them a bit."
"Everyone! I met Magistrate Liang today and I'm so excited! I came to share my experience."
"The person upstairs must be a very outstanding person. I admire him very much."
"Go back upstairs. My father and the neighbors got into a fight over the courtyard wall. I ran into Magistrate Liang on my way to the county office to redeem someone. It's not what you think. I'm so ashamed."
Monno read with great interest and picked up a note himself and followed it.
After posting the message, Meng Nuo took her maid to have lunch, thinking that someone would definitely reply to her in the afternoon.
We had lunch at a pricier restaurant. Most of the customers were students with plenty of money, so the dishes were very novel.
Tomatoes and peppers are available.
The first time Meng Nuo ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he was immediately amazed by the deliciousness. He ate three plates by himself and it was not enough.
In the end, the maid stopped him, saying she was afraid he would get a stomachache if he ate too much.
Meng Nuo snorted, "Then I'll come back to eat tomorrow."
When she returned to the book club, she found that someone had replied to the note she posted.
"Welcome new sisters."
"You can ask questions in two months and have the person in charge convey them. The calligraphy and painting lady will reply."
"Our book fan club will grow stronger and stronger."
Monno suddenly felt that this book club was really interesting.
After visiting the book club for a while, Monroe began to stroll along the street again, to see if he could still meet those handsome men from yesterday.
Meng Nuo was surrounded by maids and guards. Occasionally, some ignorant young men would come forward to chat with Meng Nuo because of her beauty, but they would be stopped by Meng Nuo's guards.
Meng Nuo rolled his eyes to the sky, showing his sharp tongue. He made the man who was trying to flirt with him blush and his whole face tremble.
"You you you you you."
"The atmosphere in Lingzhou is really tolerant. Nowadays, no one will laugh at you if you stutter when you go out." Meng Nuo sighed to him, then turned and left.
Xiang Feifei smiled and said, "This princess is quite witty in her speech."
The guards around Meng Nuo were masters carefully selected by the Nanzhao royal family, so he looked back frequently, feeling as if someone was following him.
But when I looked back, there were only ordinary people.
He thought about it and decided it must be his own illusion.
Since the princess's identity had not been exposed, there was no need for Princess Anping to send someone to follow the two maids out. Perhaps she was overthinking it.
Meng Nuo was eating and shopping in Lingzhou, while the envoys were bargaining hard with Mo Jinglian.
The first thing is to repair the business road. Both parties will pay half of the cost, and the repair will be mainly done by Lin Si.
When the envoy arrived, he also felt the flatness of the ground on Xihe Road, so he nodded in agreement.
Next is the unit price of the product.
They had already learned about the situation in Lingzhou. Perfume was indeed a luxury item. But for people with household registration in Jinnan Road and Xihe Road, buying soap did not require a high price at all!
Mo Jinglian directly refuted this: "Everyone, this is the welfare price enjoyed by the county lord's people. How can it be compared with the selling price? We must also charge extra for escorting the goods here."
The envoy remained calm and said, "You don't need to escort the goods over there. We will send our own people over."
Mo Jinglian smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it would save us a lot of trouble. The situation in Dachen is still chaotic right now. If we are responsible for escorting the goods and delivering them safely, it will indeed be a hassle. Let me be clear, after we hand the goods over to you, if they are lost or robbed, we will not be responsible."
The envoy was relieved.
What she said makes sense!
In this way, if there is any loss during the journey, it will be entirely their own business.
So the envoy thought for a moment and decided to let Lin Si be responsible for the supply of goods.
But once this decision is made, it is impossible to negotiate a low price, after all, the delivery fee is included.
After discussing soap, the envoy began to negotiate the price of cotton cloth.
"This cloth is not as good as silk or satin, but it's only slightly better than linen. The price is not as good as..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Jinglian interrupted him ruthlessly: "Is that so? Then we won't sell it."
Envoy: That’s not what I meant.
At the end of the conversation, the envoy found that he had not gained any advantage at all.

The troops have expanded a lot, and now they can be considered a fairly large army.
The new soldiers first receive cultural education and ideological transformation.
After finishing the class, you will take an exam and only after passing it can you be officially enlisted.
The old team members went to see the horses raised by the Hu people every now and then. As they watched the horses grow up little by little, they already imagined themselves as cavalrymen.
Since everyone recently learned that a delegation from Nanzhao was coming, they also learned that Nanzhao not only had cavalry, but also elephant soldiers.
As for what this elephant is, no one has ever seen it.
Finally, when Gan Lang went to the stable to see the horses and chatted with Murong Bobo, he learned that Murong Bobo had seen the elephants of Nanzhao.
Gan Lang and his companions immediately became interested and started asking questions.
"Does this elephant look similar to a horse?"
Murong Bobo shook his head. "It's completely different. The elephant's trunk is very long and its ears are very big."
Seeing that Gan Lang and the others couldn't imagine it out of thin air, Murong Bobo simply picked up a branch and drew on the ground for them to see.
Gan Lang stared at the elephant drawn on the ground and said only one sentence.
"This is really strange."
By the way, he praised Murong Bobo, "You are quite good at painting. Why don't you go and get a night school diploma? It might come in handy in the future."
Murong Bobo said rather embarrassedly, "I have this plan and am saving money."
Gan Lang encouraged him, "I was illiterate at first, and I thought the characters were like incomprehensible books. But I managed to learn them, and now I need a diploma to do any work."
