Chapter 478 Hot Fish Sellers (2 in 1)
Then Su Lie signaled Du He to continue, and the latter stood up and said loudly: "Since everyone is determined to win this headfish, it is better to offer their own conditions, and the higher the price will be rewarded.
What do you think if you rely on your skills?”
"Okay, fair, I will give out a hundred sheep!" shouted the leader of Shi Wei.
"I'll give two hundred..."
Soon everyone started to compete fiercely, and Du He quickly called everyone, but the bidding was not like this, and it became a verbal battle.
"Everyone is a person with status, it's so rude to be so messy.
In this way, since this fish represents good luck, let’s bet on luck. Each person writes his or her own price on paper and only offers the price once. Whoever bids higher will belong to whom, so as not to desecrate such auspiciousness.”
Who knew that as soon as Du He finished speaking, Princess Gaoyang shouted: "I don't believe that anyone of you dares to compete with my Tang Dynasty for wealth?"
Du He said, "Princess, I just agreed to bid on paper, you are so angry that you have broken the rules."
Princess Gaoyang said disdainfully: "Du He, you guy, are you helping outsiders? Whether it is on or under paper, this princess is at this price. I can afford it if I buy a fish for one thousand taels of silver."
Fang Yiai next to him kept persuading him, otherwise, let’s forget it. Even if the fish is eaten, it will have to be fresh. It will be delivered to Chang'an to His Majesty. If it doesn’t make a fuss, it will smell bad, but it will not be beautiful, but the princess doesn’t listen.
The leaders were secretly happy that this Tang Dynasty princess was too high-profile, just a thousand taels of silver. Now we are no longer the kind of era when we were so poor that we had no clothes to wear. We could afford silk, so it was not a problem to spend 1 thousand taels to buy a good-luck fish.
Du He was also helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and send a note for everyone to bid.
Only the envoy from Goguryeo was disdained for participation in the audience, "What fish? I spent 1,000 taels to buy a broken fish? Only fools can make it. We Goguryeo does not lack fish, so I disdain to participate."
OK, this person doesn't know whether he is arrogant or straightforward. His bragging is very imposing, but he offended everyone directly.
The other leaders glared at each other, thinking that even if you are powerful Goguryeo, we can't afford to offend us, you can't humiliate us in person.
Fang Yiai directly drew his sword and pointed at the other party and cursed: "Sunzi, who are you talking about? My wife is rich and happy to buy a fish, so why is it that troubles you? You are a poor man from Goguryeo and can't even afford a fish, so don't get annoyed here, as it disturbs our interest, it will be chopped up."
Du He quickly smoothed out the situation and said, "Brother Fang, don't do anything. He is an envoy. If the two countries are fighting, they will be killed. Killing him will cause trouble."
"What are you afraid of? Killing is like killing a chicken. When you go back to Chang'an, I'm afraid my emperor and father-in-law will praise me for being good at fighting!
Grandson, come to die!”
As he said that, he was about to take action, and the Goguryeo envoy was so scared that his soul was thriving.
At this time, Su Lie stood up and stopped Fang Yiai, "Enough! This is Fuyu City, not Chang'an.
It would be fine if you make a fuss in Chang'an, no one would care about it. Since you have come here to join the army, you must respect the military order. Otherwise, you will not retreat if you go home?"
At this time, Princess Gaoyang shouted: "Husband, come back. Listen to General Su, let's not be as knowledgeable as the incompetent poor ghosts."
Fang Yiai was finally persuaded by everyone to come back.
Su Lie turned around and said to the Goguryeo envoy, "I am so kind to invite you, it's just that you are not interested, but it's wrong to hurt others. Everyone present is my distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty, and our princess is here. I will host this grand event, so I must give them an explanation.
Please go back,
Come and see off guests!”
"What? You...
OK, OK, what a great Tang Dynasty, a country of etiquette? Hum!" The envoy left with his sleeves.
Coincidentally, Erhu sent someone to report that the battlefield was cleaned and installed, and the data was calculated.
"You reported to General, this time, you have harvested more than 30,000 fish of all sizes and sizes, with a total weight of 150,000 kilograms. It can be said that it is a rare harvest. The fish have been sorted according to their size, and the head fish have already been put in place."
How many???
Almost everyone doesn’t believe in their ears. How many fish are there? More than 30,000? 150,000 kilograms? My God, have you captured all the fish under the water?
Even the Goguryeo envoy who had just walked a few steps stopped.
"Impossible, you must have reported it incorrectly. It takes several days for our Goguryeo Navy to fish in the sea. How could you catch it in one go?"
"Hmph, short-sighted people, what if you Goguryeo can't do it?
The Tang Dynasty is the best fishing world. Could it be that we can’t do it and we still need you, the second son of Goguryeo, nodded?
Someone comes, take him to see it, and then see him off after the viewing!"
Su Lie said to the Goguryeo envoy very disliked.
At this time, the other leaders spoke one after another: "General Su, there are tens of thousands of fish and tens of thousands of pounds. We have never seen them in our lives. What if we go differently?"
Du He interrupted, "Everyone, the fish are there and cannot escape, but the family of this fish has not yet decided. If you are anxious to see the fish give up the bid, we will send it to Chang'an directly."
In desperation, everyone bets.
This group of envoys was arranged by Du He and his men clearly. Princess Gaoyang was the King of Tota this time, and the 1,000 taels were also the lowest price for a negotiated headfish.
In fact, it is not that the Tang Dynasty cannot offer a higher price, and it is more ruthless to kill these people. In fact, it is unnecessary. The purpose this time is to sell the headfish, then choose one of the wolves to fatten, and at the same time suppress and exclude Goguryeo, killing two birds with one stone.
If the offer is too high and the headfish cannot be sold, or if the buyer feels too distressed if the offer is too high, it will be counterproductive.
Soon Du He took the note from everyone and read it loudly, "The Khitan tribe produced a thousand beef cattle and ten thousand sheep!"
Princess Gao Yang interrupted, "Wait, didn't they all pay for it? What does it count as a livestock? How does this count?"
Du He explained: "Princess, this Fuyu City is a gathering place for everyone to trade. There is a general agreement on the price of pigs, cattle and sheep, so it will be converted into money. The Khitan leader will set you a thousand taels of silver."
"No, I won't say it earlier. This princess also has land and animals. I want to add it..."
Before he finished speaking, he was dragged back by Fang Yiai. Since he had agreed, he had to follow the rules and no more price increases.
The princess left with her sleeves angrily. The more she did this, the more realistic everyone felt, and she became more eager for the headfish this time.
"The Shiwei tribe gave out 10,000 sheep and 5,000 pigs.
The Marine tribe produced three thousand cattle and eight thousand sheep…”
Soon the price of everyone was revealed. The headfish was taken down by the leader of the Mariner tribe. When the other leaders of the tribe heard this price, they were heartbroken, just a slight difference. If they had known that there would be more sheep, they felt like they had missed a city this time.
Su Lie stood up and laughed and smoothed out the situation: "Everyone, it depends on the destiny of wealth. This time, fishing for 150,000 kilograms is God's kindness. Everyone is competing for each other and competing for each other.
The head fish has its own owner, but there are still more than 100,000 kilograms of fish waiting for us to share. How about we go and see it together?
Don’t rush to leave today. I will invite you to a fresh whole fish banquet. This is a good thing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could only eat in Chang'an."
When everyone heard that they were going to see the fish, they immediately became interested and flocked to them.
How many pounds of fish are there? I'm afraid that people who have never seen it with their own eyes will definitely not feel how shocking it is.
When I saw the piles of fish, no one cares about whether the fish was obtained. Almost everyone thinks that this incident was a blessing from God.
In addition, Du He next to him advocated that this was auspicious, auspicious auspiciousness that was rare in a century, etc. So soon, more than 100,000 kilograms of fish were snapped up by everyone. Of course, the soldiers and people of Fuyu City were also looking forward to it. In the end, the Tang Dynasty agreed to sell 50,000 kilograms of fish to other tribes, and the remaining 100,000 kilograms were sent to Fuyu City for food and use, and both sides were very happy.
I thought the incident ended successfully, but who knew that the Goguryeo envoy had not left yet and even posted it.
In the General's Mansion in Fuyu City, Su Lie sat in the main seat with a big horse with a golden sword, and Du He and Fang Yiai on both sides, and other envoys were also present.
Only the Goguryeo envoy stood in the middle without embarrassment.
"I don't know why the envoy insisted on leaving? Could it be that he would stay in my Fuyu City for the New Year?" Su Lie said dissatisfied.
The man bowed with a humble face and said, "I admire the fishing skills of the Tang Dynasty, so if I want to learn a few, please teach the generals. The people in the country will be grateful."
As soon as this was said, Fang Yiai almost fell off the chair. I heard it right. Didn’t it mean that Goguryeo always claims to be a great country like my Tang Dynasty? Why does this posture look like we are surrendering to the point of surrender?
Not to mention him, even the envoys from other countries were confused. In everyone's impression, Goguryeo was extremely powerful. He was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty. What happened today? He bowed his head to the Tang Dynasty to pretend to be a grandson?
Su Lie sneered in his heart, this is Gao Guli, which has not changed for many years, and has been repeatedly shameless.
"I want to learn fishing skills from my Tang Dynasty? Why should we teach you? Go back, stop dreaming, we don't care whether you are grateful. And I will know that even if you teach you, you will not be grateful." Su Dingfang refused without hesitation.
The man pretended to be wronged and said, "What do you mean by General? I, Goguryeo, have always respected the Shangguo of the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that Shangguo treated us like this. I said something about friendly countries on the surface, but in fact I was guarding against us everywhere. Have you seen it?
This is how the Tang Dynasty treated us? They fished and ate meat, can’t we learn it with us?”
Hey... Su Lie's heart was filled with anger, thinking that this guy was very cruel, and he didn't forget to incite and provoke? Do you want to invite others to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty?
Not to mention, when Goguryeo reminded that those carefree tribal leaders were really lit up. Yes, the Tang Dynasty can catch fish, and we can do it too. Let them teach us, isn’t it much better than buying fish? And you won’t have to worry about eating fish all winter.
Originally, in the northeast, it was cold and cold. Everyone was not too enthusiastic about eating fish because the fish was not delicious, or they wouldn't eat it.
But just now, General Su Lie in Fuyu City set up a fish banquet for everyone. The tribe leaders ate it happily and were filled with oil. I guess after this fish, they would not only fall in love with eating fish for the rest of their lives, but they would probably not be as good as going back to eat anything else.
Seeing the people below unable to sit still and want to get involved, Su Lie scolded the Goguryeo envoy in a fury manner and said, "A good thief, he is so smart."
The skills are from my Tang Dynasty, why should I give them to you? Did you forget about the fact that you put down Jingguan at our doorstep?
Don’t say that this unique skill is taught by gods and men, and cannot be spread out. Even if it can be spread out, it will never be passed on to you.
If you are not convinced, you can go back and send troops to fight. As long as you are not afraid of death, you will be with you if you have any tricks! The Tang Dynasty has been established for twenty years and has never been afraid of any foreign enemies."
hiss……
Su Lie's words were murderous intent, which directly shocked the other party, including the leaders of several other tribes, and they swallowed their words back and dared not speak.
Du He and Fang Yiai were so excited that they watched it, and they admired Su Lie even more.
Of course, no matter how much he admired him, Du He saw the opportunity and stood up and said, "General Su calmed down. His Majesty did not say that this fishing method was not allowed to be taught. It was just that it was not allowed to be passed on casually. If the Goguryeo Envoy gave enough sincerity, it could be exchanged."
"General Du, are you sure? Can you take this responsibility? "
This matter is not within the scope of everyone's discussion, but Du He remembers it clearly. The eldest brother, Mr. Du, had expected early in the morning that if someone covets fishing methods, they would pay a price to exchange in exchange for their useful benefits in the Northeast and prepare for the next step.
Du He said confidently: "I was the Chang'an special envoy I received at the time. It's absolutely true. If there are any omissions, I will be willing to take responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang knew that this method belonged to the Du family. Du He had the right to deal with it, so he must have a good idea.
When the Goguryeo envoy saw that things had turned around, he hurriedly chased after him, "Yes, I was negligent. We are willing to pay for the fishing method. Dear generals also know that many of our Goguryeo people survive by eating fish, but fishing at sea is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. If there is such a good way to fish in the lake, it is to save many people.
It's okay, everyone will definitely help, we are willing to pay."
"Fill the money?" Du He jokingly said.
"Yes, we are willing to pay ten thousand taels of silver, the price is ten times that of that fish."
Fang Yiai said: "Suncle, are you surround us? The headfish was bought for nearly 3,000 taels of silver just now."
Du He here staggered and said to himself, brother, can you not do this? He is an envoy and represents a country. It is not good if you always scold your grandson.
Maybe the Goguryeo envoy was eager to buy it, and did not care about the other party's rudeness, etc., and quickly increased the price: "I was negligent, so that's 30,000 taels, whether it's silver or goods, you can decide."
Du He interrupted, "Wait a minute, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. Our Tang Dynasty is not short of money or goods, so this fishing skill will not be used to exchange these, you'd better change the chips."
