407 Fars Province 5

Everyone knows that wine is not very tempting when it first enters the mouth, but its strong momentum is unimaginable. Guo Jia and Mi Tian, ​​who drank wine for the first time, naturally fell drunk in the meal without any experience. Only Zhou Tai was told by Guo Jia, and then left the table and returned to the warship. Dian Wei has been with Lu Ning for many years, as long as he followed Lu Ning out, he basically did not drink too much. Since Dian Wei did not drink, Wei Yan, as one of the guards, certainly did not dare to drink too much.

As the Du Gang and others who accompanied the wine, few of them were sober, and most of them were drunk. After a grand banquet, the guests and hosts all drank happily, everyone slept in the Du Gang's mansion drunk. As for the purchase of silk, they had to wait until the next day to discuss.

Lu Ning was completely drunk. He couldn't remember clearly when he returned to bed, and he knew nothing about where to sleep. Lu Ning was so shocked by the dazzling sunshine that he could no longer sleep. He barely endured the severe headache, opened his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked around for a long time before recalling the situation when he was drunk at a banquet yesterday. Lu Ning shook his head. Now he felt uncomfortable in the headache and could never drink so much wine again in the future. This is abroad. If there is anything wrong, it will be a place where death will be without a burial.

After a long time in bed, Lu Ning finally woke up completely. He was about to get up, but suddenly he found something pressing on his chest. Lu Ning looked down and was shocked. The one who lay on his chest was a petite and beautiful girl. This is a stunning thing. How could there be a beauty in Lu Ning's bed? Didn't it be a dream last night? Lu Ning thought he was having a spring dream? It seemed that he had a night of trouble with the beauty in front of him. Of course, although Lu Ning was drunk, Lu Ning was also a very normal man. Can such a beautiful woman not do anything with her side, unless she was sick.

Hangover! Coupled with the intense exercise, it drained Lu Ning's last bit of physical strength. Lu Ning walked out of the room with difficulty. Seeing Lu Ning walk out of the room, a waiter who had been waiting outside the door for a long time led Lu Ning into a garden. Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, Mi Tian and everyone were all here, sitting around and chatting. Seeing Lu Ning coming with a pair of panda eyes, they all started to make fun of him.

Lu Ning looked up at them and saw that they were also panda-like. Then he said to them, "Why are you laughing at me? Don't laugh at me. You can find a mirror to look at me well. You are not much better than me."

After hearing this, Dian Wei smiled and said, "Lord, Wen Chang and I have not done anything bad. We have stood there for you all night."

After hearing Dian Wei's words, everyone started to write loudly again. Lu Ning looked at them helplessly and said, "Is that so? Thank you for your hard work."

After everyone laughed, Guo Jia said to Lu Ning cautiously: "Master, we are thousands of miles away from our hometown, so we can no longer drink like yesterday. Once something happens, we have no choice. Who knows what these foreigners think, and it is better to be cautious."

After Lu Ning bowed to Guo Jia, he said to him: "Please forgive me. I was indulged yesterday, so I must not do this again in the future. What's the matter with you?"

After hearing this, Wei Yan replied: "Lord, Ziman and I were watching the night last night. Although there were beautiful women who came to harass us, we ignored it. Besides, we didn't understand most of what they said. They left bored after harassing for a while, and they didn't ask anything."

Guo Jia said to Lu Ning: "I was leisurely last night. After all, my Roman dialect was not good, so I pretended not to understand their words, and no one came to harass her. But Mi Tian might not be pure."

The commander-in-chief of Mi Tian's fleet naturally had a high status in the caravan. Yesterday, he followed Lu Ning to the capital of Fars Province. Hearing Guo Jia lead the words to him, Mi Tian hurriedly said, "Report to the young master, the servant girl in my room last night tried to inquire about something while his subordinates were tired, but I was deceived by me with a sound sleep."

After hearing Mi Tian's words, Lu Ning was also surprised. Looking at Mi Tian's burly body and a loyal and honest look, he didn't expect that he was so clever, which really responded to the saying "You should not behave like a person."

Lu Ning looked up at Mi Tian, ​​then said to everyone: "Now in Fars Province, our family sells silk fabrics to them, and they are so eager to do so. We have no choice but to decide what price to sell. Everyone should eat something delicious. I guess the Du Bang will come to us to discuss the purchase of silk later."

Speaking of this, Lu Ning picked up a grape from the table, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You think about it too, besides asking for gold, what else do we want to exchange for from them?"

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Dian Wei immediately said, "Lord, is this more important? Of course, the steel knives we saw yesterday and their war horses. I saw that the war horses they rode were also very good, even if they were riding with the few horses we generals, if they could buy them back, then all our generals would have a peerless war horse."

After hearing this, Lu Ning nodded and said, "Well, the time is right, but according to my subordinates, we can't transport many horses back. If there are too many, our freshwater will have problems. We can only buy some in small quantities. In addition to the treasure swords and horses here, I think this grape wine is not available to us. If we can transport it back, we will not have to worry about the wealthy families not paying a large price. However, this wine also takes up space and is very heavy. We cannot buy a lot of it. It's just a matter of calculation. It's not too late to buy more when the ocean trade is normal in the future."

After hearing this, Mi Tian said to Lu Ning: "Young Master, the ivory here is also very cheap. We can buy some back. We will definitely be able to sell it at a good price when we are a man."

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head. The ivory here was not purchased from Africa. Even if you want to buy it, you have to go to Africa to buy talent. But can Lu Ning tell them clearly? "Ivory is not produced here. Although the ivory in their hands is more expensive than our great men, we cannot buy it from here. When the ocean trade voyages a little further away, you will reach the place of origin. If you buy it at the place of origin, it will be cheaper."

After hearing this, Mi Tian said, "How did you know that there is no ivory here? The ivory here is too cheaper than our big men."

Dian Wei got up and said, "Lao Mi, this place is full of desert, what big ivory will there be?"

Guo Jia kept pondering, and the queen of Guan Tian said: "Lord, do we still have to rent land here? If we want to rent it, can we express our identity as the lord, so that it will be easier to achieve our goal. After all, this Fars Province is a place in Persia, and they will not be as good as Bintan Island. Besides, they are intimidated with Rome now, so they should also hope that we are here. This will be good for their safety. Our army cannot threaten them. What they are afraid of is the Roman army. If we are here, they can resist the Roman army invasion of their territory with them."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Lu Ning also felt that what he said made sense. If Lu Ning's identity is revealed, then Lu Ning and the others are officials and businessmen who came here to open up the Maritime Silk Road on behalf of the Han Dynasty. "For the filial piety, let's listen to what they say first. If it is revealed that the identity is beneficial to Lu Ning and their trade, then of course it will be bright. If there is no benefit, Lu Ning doesn't have to brighten it. Let's figure out their ideas first."

Just as Lu Ning and the others were discussing what goods should be exchanged for, how much should be exchanged, how to exchange, and how to negotiate with them, a servant came from one end of the garden, bowed first, and then said to Lu Ning and the others that the Du Gang asked him to invite Lu Ning and the others over, saying that there was something important to discuss. After hearing the attendant's words, Lu Ning stood up and smiled: "I guess the Du Gang is not calm anymore. Let's go and meet him, and we can also chew with him."

Following this servant, after he arrived at the hall where the banquet was held yesterday, Lu Ning and the others sat down, and the Du Gang asked about the transaction in a hurry. Seeing Du La's anxious look, Lu Ning was even more happy. As long as you are anxious, you are afraid that you will not be in a hurry, then Lu Ning and the others are not able to talk about it. "Sir, I believe you already know the quality of the silk produced in our Han Empire. I don't have to say anything more. Two hundred gold coins of silk are the price of my silk for sale."

"Ah" After listening to my offer, a sound of surprise sounded from the hall. In addition to the Du Gang, there were many nobles from the city sitting there. After listening to the price quoted by Lu Ning, they were all surprised. This price may really be beyond their expectations.

After hearing this, DuPont was stunned for a moment and said to Lu Ning, "Businessman from the Han Dynasty, don't you think your price is too high? You should know that there are two hundred gold coins. Do you know how many horses can be exchanged for 200 gold coins in our place? Even the best war horses are only fifty gold coins. You have to sell 200 gold coins for a piece of silk cloth, which is no different from what the Romans sold to us."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said to DuPont: "My respectful lord, I don't think the price of these 200 gold coins is too high. You must know that from our great Han country, we have to experience too many winds and waves along the way. The sailors who went to sea with me were also invited by me at a high price. In addition to the cost of the ship and various other expenses, the 200 gold coins are actually not much. What do you think? Besides, things are precious because of scarcity. I believe you should also know what my great Han silk means in your country. If you buy the silk on my ship and sell it to those Romans, I am afraid you can make a lot of money in the meantime?"
