"Can Zhao Clan give Zheng Guo a deal like this!?"

Si Ji slapped the table and questioned loudly, and the guards of Zheng Guo in the hall also scolded, and the voice echoed in the official office.

However, this intimidation that would make ordinary messengers **** off was like a breeze to Zigong.

On this critical occasion, he suddenly remembered the experience of running a commodity business with his father and brothers Kun when he was a child.

Those who cultivate goods, breed capital, goods and wealth, so as to become rich.

People all over the world go through their own careers and work in their own way, but the products in different places are different, not to mention the states, counties, and even different villages and families. There is a need for exchange. stop.

The merchants are the medium of this kind of activity. Among them, Zheng Wei merchants are the most famous.

The Duanmu family is one of them. The elders in the clan let Zigong travel around with the caravan since he was a child, and push him to the booth for training.

At first, in order to make others stop buying, a smile was the only thing a teenager could rely on, but customers would not always smile in return, and some people would bully him and want to buy cheaply.

"Haggling is something you must learn to do business!"

After suffering a few losses, his elders taught him this. In this experience, Zigong learned a truth: it turns out that cheap goods can be sold at a high price, and expensive things can be bought cheaply. The price determines how much a merchant can get in a transaction profit.

When he was a little older, he began to show his talent in doing business between Jin and Lu. Buy cheap and sell expensive to profit from it, and become a successful businessman. Among the Confucian apprentices, Shu Zigong was the richest.

After he began to assume the position of "pedestrian" of Zhao Wuxi's forces. Zigong was quite surprised to find that diplomacy and cargo farming were actually very similar. The negotiating table is like a stall in a market place. Buyers and sellers have what they want, but they don't know what to say. Instead, they put their fingers in their sleeves and bargain with critical eyes, trying to use the interests of the state as goods to buy cheap and sell expensive, in order to maximize profits.

Zigong was also proficient in this way after being abducted and deceived in various countries in Sishang, so he could see at a glance the falsehood of Siji's bossy.

"Sure enough, it's the same as Uncle Xian suggested. The people of Zheng country are exaggerating their strength, so as to raise their own value, and they are waiting for the price..."

...

Zigong quickly sorted out his words, raised his head and smiled and said, "The ruling is right. Under the governance of the two generations of famous officials, Zichan and Uncle Zi, and the inheritance of their careers in power, the Zheng Kingdom is indeed very strong. Five hundred miles ago six years ago He attacked and destroyed Xu State five years ago. Five years ago, he conspired with Dan Pian to almost overthrow Cheng Zhou. During that time, he fought against Jin State and Lu State in Yique and Zongjao, but he was not defeated. He even invaded six cities in Song State. It's no wonder that people in the world say that Zheng is as strong as 2,000 people with his body of a thousand vehicles... It's a pity..."

Ting Zigong praised the state of Zheng. Si Jin was full of doubts, and when he got here, he couldn't help but ask: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that Zheng Guo is not invincible. Two years ago, General Yousu's partial division was defeated by the hands of my lord in Meng Zhu. After he returned, did he not tell the power of Zhao's army?"

Si Dian's face suddenly darkened: "That time Zheng Guo only dispatched two divisions and 5,000 people, and the loss was not big, Zi Kuan also said. This is because he underestimated the enemy and was just unprepared."

in the face of doubts from buyers. The seller again falsely reported the quality and price of the goods, trying to continue to deceive the opponent. Zigong couldn't help sighing, could it be less routine and more sincere?

Of course it's impossible, this is a diplomatic arena of intrigue, and he will temporarily put aside the "honesty" and "trust" that his master gave him, and accompany the scorpion.

"Government is right, that battle was really a fluke, Zheng Guo's fluke! Because the only ones who fought against the Zheng army were the Zhao army's partial divisions, and the shouting supporters of Song and Cao. Even so, we are also in the Song Dynasty. The chaos has won a complete victory, if the elites were used at that time, I am afraid that General Yousu would not be able to evacuate smoothly."

"So the Zhao clan is still stingy?" Si Ji sneered, with a look of disbelief, but the momentum was not strong. The most powerful Qing in the Zheng Kingdom is Zhao Wuxi's defeated generals, this is an indisputable fact.

Zigong took a step forward, raised his robe and said, "That's right, but cherish your strength, and at this time, also cherish your strength, please think about it, the East Zhao, which was the enemy of Zheng State at that time, only had a corner of Xilu. , but what about now?"

However, Zigong stretched out his hand and pointed to the east: "In the east, the lord of my family is the ruler of the State of Lu, and on behalf of the Marquis of Lu, he oversees the millions of living people in the whole territory of Lu, and includes the princes of Si Shang."

He waved his hand to the west again: "In the west, the lord has become the heir of the Zhao clan, and he has a seal for thousands of miles, horses in Jinyang, grains in Hanoi, and armoured soldiers in Handan, all of which can be deployed at will. Guan Zhigu can block the troops of the Marquis of Jin and Zhibo in the west, and with the danger of Mount Tai in the state of Lu, the Marquis of Qi can be protected in the east. Now there is little progress on both sides, so I urged the State of Zheng to send troops to open up the situation in the south. This is to hope that Zheng Guo will bring chestnuts from the fire of Jin Qi!"

Si Jin couldn't help but sighed helplessly, if the Zhao family suddenly became so huge, once the east and the west were united, there would be another two thousand strong country on the side of the Zheng country, why would they have to be involved in the war and want to kill the country? ?

Zigong couldn't let it go, and continued: "Not to mention that the Zhao family has the Han family as assistants, and the Song State is the Paoze outside."

Si Lei said disdainfully: "Song is not to mention, Zheng and Song fought for two hundred years, and Zheng almost always won, not to mention that the Song state has been weakened now, the master and young ministers are suspicious, the chicken is Sichen, and there are ghosts everywhere, this is the country. About to die, ask God whether it is..."

Zigong retorted: "Otherwise, during the Song Rebellion, Song's power was indeed greatly damaged, but the political situation quickly stabilized. The dead were buried well, the wounded were well supported, the laborers were fed each other, and the soldiers were fed and sated and paid."

"Although unfortunately there was a famine after the war, with the help of the State of Lu, they quickly recovered. Those who lost their relatives and friends stopped crying under the organization of Wu Zhu, shared their worries, and stepped up farming and labor to generate more wealth. The rulers and ministers of the Song State respected ghosts and gods. Worrying about natural disasters, he went to court early in the morning and retreated late at night. With low-level words and heavy gifts, he sent messengers from all directions to seek peace with the princes, formed alliances with Zhao and Lu, and made alliances with Cao and Chu. Let go of the past..."

"Now that the Song Kingdom has recovered most of its vitality, its domestic strength is strong, and its diplomacy is successful, they have deliberately made it a priority to guard against the Zheng Kingdom. At this time, it is unprofitable to attack Song, and it is even difficult to drive them away from Punan. Do it, am I right?"

Si Jin was silent. In the past few months, it was not that Zheng Guo had not made a tentative attack on Song country. Although Song army could not defeat Zheng army, the defense of the city was still first-class. They have been unable to open up the situation in Punan for a long time, and they are hesitating whether to conduct a comprehensive mobilization. Zhao's side has already defeated the three families of Fan, Bank of China, and Handan, and returned to Chaoge.

Now, Zheng Guo's strategy is a bit embarrassing;

Zi Gong saw that as expected, he smiled slightly, "In today's time, Song Wei can be defeated. If the ruling party insists on becoming an enemy of the Zhao clan, the biggest possibility is that the ruling force will force 20,000 Zheng soldiers to advance eastward, and then be blocked by Punan and Jixi. The lord of my family, Dake, will lead an army of 20,000 troops to the south, and hunt here with Zheng Guo. Zhao's army has already defeated General Yousu, defeated the army of Qi, defeated Fan and Zhongxing, and I want to be in power. There is no certainty of victory, right? At that time, the two leading soldiers will bury thousands of corpses and kill Ai Shengling, and Zheng Guo will not only get no benefits, but will also be in danger of losing his teachers!"

Si Ji couldn't sit still, and stared at Zi Gong, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, so he said fiercely: "I have heard for a long time that Duanmuci is good at sophistry, and as expected, I should cut it before you speak. Drop your tongue."

Zigong was not afraid, "When I have finished analyzing the pros and cons for the ruling, it will not be too late to cut my tongue and burn it for delicious food, and I will have no regrets!"

...

Guo Shi, this Duanmuci is really an unparalleled Guo Shi!

Si Ji had to admit that the momentum that he had exerted himself to perform was actually pierced by Zi Gong's few words. Zheng Guo was not weak, but not as strong and confident as he boasted before, especially when facing the Zhao clan, a victorious clan.

Of course, you can't easily admit defeat. Siji has dealt with businessmen a lot. I know that if you follow their rhythm at this time, these greedy businessmen will definitely kick their noses and face their faces, trying to take more from your pocket. Money and silk!

Therefore, Si Lei said angrily: "I only know that the interests of the Zheng Kingdom lie in the gap between the border with Song Dynasty, in Punan and Jixi."

He suddenly lowered his voice, stared at Zigong and said, "If the Zhao family can hand over these three places to Zheng, Zheng will definitely stop the attack... and even consider joining the Zhao family!"

In the final analysis, Zheng Guo is still a speculator. If he can gain benefits without fighting, why not do it? It's not the first time that this kind of thing has been done, and it would be great if we could separate Zhao Song's relationship by the way~www.wuxiahere.com~.

Of course, their Zheng Kingdom will never stay in an alliance with the Song people!

But what he didn't expect was that Zi Gong said seriously: "I am afraid that the ruling is wrong. Although Zhao and Song are relatives by marriage, the lord cannot force Duke Song to humiliate your country."

Si Jin's smile froze on his face, and he slapped the table again and said angrily: "Then you came here this time, claiming to be carrying peony in order to seek friendship with the country of Zheng, but in the end you were empty-handed, and even the city and city in the east were unwilling to give it. Open your mouth to persuade me?"

Zigong bowed and said, "Don't be in a hurry to rule, of course foreign ministers didn't come empty-handed. In the name of the lord, I will present a great gift to Zheng Guo, but..."

"Although this gift is also from the people of the land, it is not in the east, not in the Song Dynasty, nor in Punan and Jixi..."

"Where is the piece of land you mentioned?" Si Ji guessed that Zigong would refuse and bargain, but he did not expect him to answer like that.

Zigong smiled and said, "In the west, in Ruyang, in the Man clan, in the land of Yiluo!" (To be continued.)
