“How do you all intend to sell the Hyderabad ore?”
Wang Chong lifted his head up and asked
“We don’t intend on selling the ores directly Firstly, we don’t accept Wu Zhu coins, copper coins, or silver taels The currency in the Central Plains is not accepted in Sindhu However, we can accept gold and jewelry!”
The twonodded his head As this was siion, he wasn’t surprised by this dezi simply wants to buy a few to play with due to the novelty of the object, please pardon us but on’t be able to sell it to you If that’s the case, it would be best if you leave”
Gradually, a stern expression appeared on the faces of the two reat distance not just to earn a few spare change Rather, they hoped to find a wealthy buyer for their coiven to them
“Finally, if a deal is struck, at least half of the pay rations This is also the most important term of all, as well as the prerequisite for our trade Only if one can do this e view him as our collaborator”
“Furtherratitude of us Sindhis We, from Hyderabad, will also supply you with the ore continuously!”
…
The two Sindhiexclaimed He was surprised by their conditions
He could understand why they wouldn’t accept Wu Zhu coins, copper and silver currency However, it was beyond Wang Chong’s expectation for them to demand to offer half of the payment in terms of rations
Who uses rations for payht that the twotheir serious expression, Wang Chong knew that theywas baffled This was the weirdest trading teraze of the two, a thought suddenly flashed through Wang Chong’s otten froed up:
Sindhu and the Central Plains were coe population, but they did not enjoy the prosperity of the Central Plains
Based on Wang Chong’s understanding, ued with poverty, war, darkness, and chaos This also explained why the Sindhu, despite uncovering such a strategic resource in the Hyderabad mines, did not use the ores for themselves and instead, went around the world to search for a buyer
They needed rations, large a to cover up this fact by saying half If possible, they would probably wish to trade it all for rations to bring therew clearer and clearer in Wang Chong’s mind
Based on his memories, it was likely that Sindhu was in dire fae responsibility on their shoulders
It was no wonder they were uninterested in small trades
“…However, thisfrowned as he recalled so one hadHowever, the probleulated the flow of rations extrerain of rice to the other countries
‘Hunger breeds discontent wasn’t the only one to iy If one were to look at the previous eras, regardless of which dynasty one was in, food was always a con monks wanted to half of the paye to Wang Chong It was the death penalty for those who sled food out and sell it in the other countries!
Just by this de would be able to do business with these two foreignca failed to lay its hands on a strategic resource like the Wootz steel The de that just anyone could fulfill
Wang Chong felt that the situation was extreive up on the Wootz steel like that!
“…Do I really have to give up this deal to those of the Abbasid Caliphate?”
Wang Chong panicked within
He knew that the Abbasid Caliphate would soon beco If these people were to lay their hands on huge anificantly boosted
More i’s part This had becoreat amount of Hyderabad ores, not only would he benefit froth of Great Tang’s ene The Abbasid Caliphate don’t eat rice!”
A thought flashed through Wang Chong’s
The Arabs didn’t eat rice; what they ate was a type of large date plurow rations of any type
Yet, in his previous life, the Hyderabad monks had sold ores to these countries
Clearly, the ‘rations’ the Sindhu spoke of was completely different from the ‘rations’ the people of the Central Plains coe fa as there was food, they wouldn’t be overly concerned hat it was
Clearly, if one didn’t pay attention to this factor, it was likely for negotiation to fall apart due to the Great Tang’s strict regulation on rations
At this point, Wang Chong suddenly felt excited
“Masters, do you accept apples and pears?”
Wang Chong abruptly asked
The two foreign monks were astounded, but they slowly nodded their head They had done their investigation and the rice eaten by the people of the Central Plains was very suitable for the consumption of Sindhu people It would be best if this type of ration could be shipped to Sindhu in massive quantities
However, if it was impossible to obtain such rations, the other types of food were also acceptable
After all, Sindhu was in a dire fahu, his excitement clearly expressed on his face
“That’s also acceptable”
The two foreignas it was edible, they weren’t in the position to negotiate about it
“Hahaha, what about goats, and caht further ahead
Even though the Great Tang had regulated rations strictly, the carasslands weren’t part of the restriction The vast lands of the Turks were filled with these livestock
If the foreign e amount of food, he could totally circu and trade with the Turks to fulfill their requests
This was a good solution for the oats”
The two foreign monks replied
Compared to apples and pears, fruits that are hard to store for long, it was clear that ‘rations’ such as ca as it could solve Sindhu’s famine, they weren’t particularly concerned hat the food was
