7 Chapter Thirty

Chad looked at the paper, a stack of paper and a piece of gold drew an equal sign, knowing what the other meant.

What the other party meant was that these papers can only be purchased with such a gold.

He looked carefully, and then at the stack of papers that the other party took out.

Probably because he was afraid that he would not be clear, the other party took out a stack of papers, made a gesture, and told that these papers needed a piece of gold.

Chad took a look. The papers looked like a lot, and he was quite satisfied by comparison.

Such delicate and pure white paper can never be seen here at all. I believe those nobles will definitely buy it like crazy after seeing it.

Of course, this was before he knew that these blank pieces of paper were on the side of the Xinghan Empire, and actually only needed a dozen or so copper coins.

This time, Chad used his talent for painting and drew with blank paper. He was just bargaining, waving his hands and saying that these blank papers are too expensive, and the price needs to be lowered.

Haiqing also started waving his hands, telling the other party how difficult it was to make this blank paper.

The material needs to be taken out in spring, and then soaked in water, and then taken out in summer, depending on the weather and the like.

In short, after it is fully made, it will take a very long project.

Chad looked suspiciously in his heart, if it was really so precious, why did the other party take it out and use it just now?

But the problem is, this white paper looks really extraordinary.

The disciples of the aristocratic family on the side couldn't help but twitch their mouths watching this scene.

In the past, the craft of white paper was really difficult and time-consuming.

But now that it has been improved, it no longer takes such a long time.

Seeing the other party gesticulating and talking, they were almost fooled into it, thinking that this blank paper was so time-consuming and labor-intensive.

However, speaking of it, it's not too foolish.

Among the tribute imperial papers are papers that take a very long time.

But those are fine white papers, these are not.

Hai Qing continued talking, telling the other party how difficult it was for these people to come here, the storm was raging along the way, there was a lack of supplies, and the route was extremely long.

As he talked, Haiqing seemed to feel that the price of this knife was too little, and the price was going to increase.

This time, even the commander and others beside him felt the same way.

Not to mention the scarcity of this white paper here, how difficult is it for me to wait for someone to come here?

Is it expensive to sell a piece of white paper for a piece of gold?

Hai Qing's eloquence directly fooled his own people into it, thinking that this one was too little gold.

Chad was sweating.

What is this?It was the first time I saw the bargaining, and the price was cut up.

This time, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and quickly accepted the price. He himself felt that this gold was too little.

If the conversation continues at this time, he can't help but increase the price for the other party, it's not easy for the other party to come here.

The price of the blank paper has been negotiated, and the introduction of various other items follows.

For everything, Haiqing will take out one as a sample for the other party to check.

There are three layers inside and outside, which are completely empty. The patterns carved on the middle layer seem to float out of thin air, luxurious and exquisite.

Each product has its own characteristics.

This made Chad watch the hidden light in his eyes flickering constantly.

This is human greed, and many people have it.

These things are too precious, and the other party has so many ships, how many such treasures are in them?

After a rough calculation, I'm afraid they are all worth tens of millions of gold coins, right?

Thinking of this, Chad couldn't help breathing quickly.

Facing such a huge amount of wealth, I am afraid that not many people can guarantee that they will not be greedy.

Greed is not surprising, it just depends on whether some people will do it because of it.

Greed arose in Chad's heart, but he didn't dare to do it casually.

He had seen the soldiers brought by the other party, and he felt that the soldiers on his side should not be able to take down the other party.

To take a step back, even if it is taken down, will the empire behind the other side be willing to let it go?

If the other party can find this place once, they will definitely be able to find this place a second time.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to give up.

Although he didn't know much about the empire behind the other party, his glimpse was enough to make him dare not move those crooked thoughts.

Haiqing spent more than half an hour explaining these things to the other party, and the price they gave.

Some stuff from Chad's side was brought up as well.

Things like some agate gems, pearls, and some special crops.

In this comparison, Chad's side is obviously much poorer.

But no matter how poor or poor, it mainly depends on how much gold the other party has.

Hai Qing checked the other party's things, whether there were any things from the Holy Spirit, or the value of these things.

A few disciples of the aristocratic family at the side directly started asking each other how much money the other party could buy.

For this question, Chad didn't have an accurate answer for a while. He needed to go back and figure out how much money he could use, and then see if he could borrow some money.

This time is definitely an opportunity, as long as the bought things are resold, he can make a lot of money.

This time the negotiation did not result in any results, and it will take some time to continue the conversation.

In fact, Hai Qing was not prepared to negotiate right away, he wanted to shop around this place more, and then see if he could find some good things.

Chad prepared a sumptuous dinner for these guests, but there was still a lot of time before the dinner started, Haiqing took this opportunity to look around.

The commander sent several people to follow Haiqing around to ensure the safety of the other party.

After leaving the castle, Chad patrolled the streets.

After only a moment, his brows furrowed deeply.

Compared with the Han people here, the people here are simply inferior.

On many streets, there is a strong stench, and I can't help but want to know what the stench is.

And he also saw that some people just spilled something on the street.

Such a scene stimulated Hai Qing's eyes.

After leaving here in a hurry, it was changed to a street that looked like a trade, and the situation was much better.

It's just that the scene just now made Haiqing a little intolerable.

The knowledge taught in the textbooks and the Holy Master, as well as the etiquette he has learned, made him full of contempt for this place at the moment.

Chapter 731 Being Targeted by Foreigners

"I hope you can find something useful on this street."

Hai Qing looked around, and there were quite a few people watching him with curious eyes.

Hai Qing didn't care about these gazes, and walked straight ahead.

The Holy One said that there are high-yielding crops on overseas continents, and I don't know if they can be found.

If it can be found, it will definitely be a fetish for the Xinghan Empire, and it will also greatly stabilize the majesty and power of the Holy Majesty.

Hai Qing came out to look around, wanting to see something that would be good for the empire.

"The people here are simply uncivilized, and the streets are full of those stinky things."

The bookboy next to Haiqing muttered.

Haiqing's status is different now, and she can handle some daily life with a book boy with her.

Hearing this, Hai Qing wanted to scold the book boy, telling him not to talk indiscriminately, it would be bad for the local people to hear him.

Just turning around and thinking about it, the other party didn't understand, so he went with the book boy.

"Hey, there is still a well there, is the water in this well still drinkable?"

The book boy muttered, seeing that his young master didn't scold him, he became more courageous.

After a while, he suddenly saw a well beside him, and saw someone fetching water there, so his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He has followed Hai Qing for some time, more or less under the influence of his ears and eyes, he still knows some knowledge.

Therefore, seeing this well and seeing someone fetching water to drink at this moment, he was naturally full of shock.

Hearing this, Hai Qing subconsciously turned her head to look.

After seeing that there were indeed people fetching water here, he was also stunned.

The people here fetched water, and the well water splashed out. Although it was very clear and didn't look unclean, Haiqing knew that the well water was definitely not clean.

On the streets some distance from here, so much dirt was splashed, and after it penetrated into the ground, it would directly pollute the groundwater.

How can the well water opened here not be polluted?

If one person is sick, everyone in this place, as long as anyone who drinks the water from this well, is afraid that there will be no one who will not be infected.

Thinking of this, Hai Qing's face turned ugly, and she was suddenly glad that she didn't drink what the other party gave her before.

"We won't go to the dinner there tonight."

After a moment of silence, Haiqing said, what are these places!It is a miracle to be able to survive such a messy sewage, and still fetching water at such a short distance!

"Yes!"

When the book boy heard this, he immediately agreed, and then thought of this level.

"By the way, immediately arrange for people to go to the boat. When asking them to supply fresh water, they must go to a place far away from here to get fresh water. They can't get fresh water within a few kilometers. Let them go to the deep mountains to get fresh water.

Anyway, they have been holding back on the boat for so long, now that they are on land, let's take a walk more. "

Hai Qing thought for a while, and then said something hastily.

Immediately there were attendants on the side to do this.

Haiqing was also frightened, this place is so dirty, if this well water is used to replenish fresh water, maybe all the people in their fleet will be buried here.

After all the hard work, how wronged would it be if he was buried in such a place?

The book boy turned pale when he heard this, he hadn't thought of this just now.

Speaking of which, the people on the boat didn't understand that it was really possible to use this well water to replenish fresh water.

Fortunately, my young master reacted.

On the other side, the disciples of the aristocratic family also came out together.

The purpose is the same as that of Haiqing but somewhat different.

The same is to come out to find things, but what they want to find is something that can be resold at a good price.

If there is, you can make a lot of money by taking it back.

"It's simply a group of barbarians. How can those stinky things be spilled on the street at will?"

The disciples of the aristocratic family covered their mouths and noses one after another, and their senses of this place became worse and worse.

Just kidding, they have never seen such a messy place, and it was not like this before the Xinghan Empire was unified.

The dynasty of the Han people still understood etiquette, justice, integrity and shame to some extent, so how could they do such a thing?

The scene they saw today refreshed their perception.

"A barbaric land, I waited so hard to come here, and unexpectedly came to such a barbaric land, it is really amazing, amazing..."

Another disciple of the aristocratic family was also filled with emotion. In the end, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe his mood at the moment.
