Chapter 292 Money talks
The envoy of Liang State: "They are all people from Qi State who are shameless."
Anyway, they don't deal with each other, so it's normal for them to pull each other down.
"Oh, it's obviously the people from Liang who are shameless." The people from Qi didn't give in at all.
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Baitao spoke.
"I heard that your two countries are at war. This has nothing to do with our Taohua Village. I wonder what your plans are for coming here?"
She was so straightforward and straight to the point, which made people from both countries stunned for a moment.
Both parties hesitated, looked at the other side warily, then looked at Baitao, and spoke in unison.
"Uh, this..."
"We, we want to..."
Both sides spoke together, then stopped mid-sentence, both staring at each other.
Baitao: "..."
It's okay for them to play like this, but she really doesn't have the patience to accompany them.
So, Baitao said: "Is it weapons and equipment or food and grass?"
The two countries came here for no more than these two reasons, but when they suddenly heard Baitao ask him bluntly, they were still stunned.
The envoy from the Liang Kingdom frowned and glanced at the people from the Qi Kingdom: "Bai Xiaodong's family is really powerful. You already know it before we say it."
He finished his words quickly, fearing that if he hesitated, he would be upstaged again.
Qi Guo glanced over there with contempt: a flatterer.
But they also continued: "Our king has said that he wants to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment from Baijiabao. The price is negotiable."
Baitao: "Then you will be disappointed. It is impossible for me to sell weapons and equipment."
Seeing that both parties were looking over, Baitao continued: "Now that you are both equally powerful, and you have both approached us, you must both want to buy, so I will sell to both parties."
"For the safety of the people of the two countries, I cannot sell you weapons and equipment."
Just kidding, if such advanced weapons were to be sold, it would be a huge disaster for ordinary people.
Even though people in Peach Blossom Village also use it, they are all very measured and use it on evil bandits and forces seeking death.
Having said this, Baitao added: "You both happen to be here, so I will guarantee in front of you that the weapons and equipment in my hands will not be sold to people from the other side behind your back."
Although Baitao refused, the people in the two countries were not too disappointed, but they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although I don’t have it myself, the other party doesn’t have it either.
In this case, everyone is the same, so it’s unclear who will win and who will lose.
Liang Guo’s envoy: “I wonder if the food and grass can be...”
In Jin State, disasters only occurred this year, but Liang State and Qi State had already experienced small-scale droughts since last year and the year before last.
Originally, the area for planting crops in the two countries was not as good as that of Jin. As a result, there was even more food shortage.
Everyone knows that Baijiapu is a large caravan and has a large supply of food and grass. If they can purchase some food and grass, then their mission today will not be considered unfulfilled.
But the Jin State is not stupid, and has always been strict about grain sales.
Although Dongzhou is a no-nonsense zone, the food and grass transported by the caravans coming and going are all limited, so nothing can be solved at all.
"Yes, we also want to purchase a batch of grain and grass." The people from Qiguo also spoke quickly.
The two sides glared at each other unhappily, and then looked at Baitao, their eyes full of expectation.
"As for grain and grass, it's not a big problem. I can sell you some." Baitao continued without giving up.
"List the amount you need, pay 70% of the deposit in advance, and pay the remaining 30% for delivery." Baitao said, looking at the people in Liang Guo, and then at Qi Guo. After a meal: "When we do business in Baijiapu Caravan, we always treat everyone equally, and we treat everyone equally."
The implication is that money speaks for itself.
How much money you pay, I will give you.
The people of Qi State quickly responded: "It should be, it should be."
Liang Guo also nodded hastily: "Understand, understand, we must comply with Bai Xiaodong's request."
Baitao nodded, and then continued: "After paying the deposit in advance, delivery can be made in half a month."
Half a month?
When the people from the two countries heard this, they were stunned for a moment. You know, the quantity they purchased must be quite large. It only takes half a month? !
Seemingly seeing that they couldn't believe it, Bai Dashan, who had been standing silently beside Baitao, spoke.
"Our aunt talks like a spit and a nail, you just have to prepare yourself."
These words brought people from both countries to their senses, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"Yes, yes, we in the Liang Kingdom naturally believe in the strength of the Baijiabao caravan."
The envoy of Qi State also smiled and praised: "We in Qi State have never doubted the strength of Baijiabao and Bai Xiaodong's family."
"In this case, as for the follow-up matters, Dashan, you will contact them." Baitao stood up.
Bai Dashan obediently said: "Yes, aunt."
Even though Baitao is young, no matter where she sits, the people of Liang and Qi will think twice about what they say.
As soon as she left, both parties breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back.
However, within two or three seconds, he straightened his back and said to Bai Dashan, "Shopkeeper Bai, we..."
Bai Dashan raised his hand: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll ask someone to give you a pen and paper, and you can each list the amount you need."
When people from the two countries heard this, they thought it was a good idea, so that the other side wouldn't know how much food and grass they had bought.
Liang Guo hesitated and asked: "Is there a limit to this number?"
Bai Dashan: "This depends on your own needs."
The implication is that it is up to you to decide how much you want to buy.
When Qi Guo heard this, his eyes lit up.
If this is the case, then the more the merrier.
Food and grass, needless to say, everyone knows what will happen to humans and animals if they lack food and grass.
However, before they could be happy for a few seconds, Bai Dashan warned: "But the amount you listed should be within a reasonable range. If you can't pay by then, don't blame us Bai Yujun for coming to collect it ourselves. ”
When people from both countries heard this, their bodies froze and their faces turned pale.
They couldn't understand what Bai Dashan meant.
How could the White Feather Army come to pick it up? Of course they would kill them at the door.
Although they have great confidence in their country's army, if the opponent is the Baiyu Army, it's hard to say whether they will win or lose.
The envoy of Liang State: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Bai, we will never do anything reckless."
Qi Guo also quickly said: "We will not default on our debts."
The cold expression on Bai Dashan's face quickly dissipated. After all, he had to smile at his customers: "Everyone just needs to know what's going on."
Soon, pens and paper were brought up.
Seeing the oil-based pen that could be used to write without the need for ink by removing the cap, and then looking at the snow-white paper, the Liang envoy was surprised and praised: "I have never seen such a pen and paper."
