Chapter 467: Prairie Princess: Who are you talking about!? Jiang Chen?
The third prince of the grassland looked at Jiang Chen angrily and said, "Lord Jiang! Are you challenging me!?"
"I said 200,000 shi, and you said 50,000 shi!?"
"You don't really think that I, the grassland, dare not go to war with you, Dajing!?"
"Don't forget, we now also have catapults, we are not afraid of you!"
"Haha, Third Prince, don't be angry. I know 50,000 shi of grain is not much."
"But, if I say that General Luo is willing to open the gate of Cangyuan City and trade with His Royal Highness the Third Prince in the future, I wonder... what the Third Prince thinks?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"You...what did you say!?"
When the third prince of the grassland heard what Jiang Chen said, he was dumbfounded!
General Luo trades with them! ?
Then will their grassland still lack supplies?
Especially strategic materials such as salt and iron!
It is so important to them!
Over the years, Dajing would rather go to war with them than open up trade routes for them.
Although they have many smuggling routes, but...but those smuggling and General Luo’s direct smuggling, this...there is a world of difference!
"Haha, Third Prince, do you think we can cooperate on this matter?" Jiang Chen saw the shocked look on the grassland Third Prince's face, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Are you...are you sure you can make the decision!?"
The third prince of the grassland gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen did not answer, but looked at Marquis Jian'an.
"Third Prince, if you agree to Lord Jiang's request, we have no objection!"
"However, for strategic materials such as salt and iron, we don't want money, we want...war horses!" Marquis Jian'an said in a deep voice.
"War horse?"
The third prince of the grassland frowned.
Naturally, there is no shortage of war horses on their grassland.
In recent years, they have traded with Dajing's caravans and exchanged war horses for supplies.
But now we are directly exchanging war horses with Jian'an Hou and his men... Isn't this aiding the enemy?!
……
"If the Third Prince doesn't want to, then forget it, just pretend we didn't say anything!"
"I will report the Third Prince's conditions to our Emperor truthfully!"
"When the time comes, whether it's war or peace, it all depends on what our Majesty wants!"
Seeing that the Third Prince of the Grassland hadn’t spoken a word, Jiang Chen stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
When the third prince of the grassland saw this scene, he hurried to stop it.
"I...I'll go back and think about it."
"This matter is not something I can decide on my own!"
"give me sometime!"
The third prince of the grassland said through gritting his teeth.
"Okay! Five days should be enough, right?"
"I will come to visit His Royal Highness the Third Prince again in five days!"
Jiang Chen smiled at the third prince of the grassland, then left with Marquis Jian'an.
It was not until Jiang Chen and the other person walked away that the Third Prince of the Grassland came to his senses!
"Trade with General Luo..."
"If all of General Luo's supplies were in my hands, wouldn't I be the most powerful force on the grassland in the future!?"
"Who will dare to compete with me for the throne then? "
When the third prince of the grassland thought of this, his eyes were filled with excitement!
However, he cannot make this decision alone, so... he has to go to his mother's clan to handle this matter!
On the other side, Jiang Chen and Marquis Jian'an were on their way out.
"Old Nine, do you think the third prince of the grassland will agree to these conditions?" Marquis Jian'an asked with some concern.
"Haha, Brother Myna, don't worry, they will definitely agree!"
"Just like Dajing lacks war horses, the grassland... lacks salt and iron even more!" Jiang Chen said with confidence.
……
"Haha, I hope that this cooperation can be achieved, but... where are we going to get the salt and iron by then?" Marquis Jian'an was a little worried.
They have never had any contact with businessmen and have no connections in this area!
"Myna, don't worry, I'll make the arrangements!"
Now, Jiang Chen has his own people refining iron, and as for salt, it is even easier.
Su Ruowei has plenty of them!
By then, he could earn more.
However, refined salt and refined iron must never be given to the grassland!
He can't bear it!
In the next few days, Jiang Chen settled down at the border.
When he was bored, he watched the soldiers training with Marquis Jian'an and his men, which was quite fun!
On the other hand, the third prince of the grassland has been traveling day and night to find his uncle, who is now the leader of his mother's clan!
When his uncle heard that General Luo was trading directly with them, his excitement was beyond words!
"Third brother! This is great!"
"If that Luo trades directly with us, we will never lack supplies again!"
"As for the war horses they want, that's no problem at all!"
"We won't give you top-quality war horses, but we have no shortage of second-rate ones!"
"Uncle, that means you agree!" The Third Prince of the Prairie was also very excited when he heard his uncle's words!
"Hahaha, agreed. Don't worry, we will talk to your father about the matter of the 200,000 stones of grain and fodder. He will definitely not have any objection!" The third prince's uncle said with a laugh.
"Thank you uncle!"
"I...I'll go back and talk to Jiang Chen right now!"
The third prince of the grassland spoke excitedly while leaving the tent.
But before he could leave, a figure walked in first!
……
"Third brother, who did you just say!?"
"Jiang Chen!?"
The prairie princess looked at the third prairie prince in shock!
"Little sister, why...why are you here?"
The third prince of the prairie was shocked when he saw the princess of the prairie!
"Third brother, you just mentioned Jiang Chen, is that the Jiang Chen who occupied our city!?"
"What do you say!?"
The prairie princess stared at the third prairie prince and asked.
"Little sister, I...I..."
The third prince of the grassland stammered and was unable to speak.
He is not afraid of anyone, not even his father.
But he was a little afraid of the prairie princess.
"Little sister, it is indeed that Jiang Chen, but he is now the envoy of Dajing. I... I can't take action against him, and they have also agreed to trade with us..."
"I……"
"Business!?"
When the prairie princess heard what the third prairie prince said, her face changed drastically!
"Third brother, you mean that Luo Zhenshan wants to trade with us, right!?"
"Yes, how did you know?" The third prince of the grassland looked puzzled.
"Haha, this Jiang Chen is really smart!"
The prairie princess laughed coldly.
"Little sister, what do you mean? Is there a conspiracy behind this?"
"Sister, what did you see?!"
The Third Prince of the Prairie and his uncle asked hurriedly.
They all knew that the prairie princess was extremely smart, so if she saw anything, they would never agree to trade with Dajing!
"Third brother, uncle, after Jiang Chen started trading with us, we benefited a lot, but there were also disadvantages."
"The most important point is that our source of goods will be controlled by them in the future!"
"They...will play a role in controlling us!"
