Chapter 293 No martial ethics
On the opposite side, the team from Qiguo was also amazed. They didn't care about causing Bai Dashan's displeasure and passed pens and papers around in the team.

Everyone looked at the pen, I touched the paper, and expressions of surprise and shock appeared one after another on our faces.

“This paper feels really good.”

"This pen doesn't need to be ground with ink separately. Could it be that the ink is ground in advance and put in the pen holder?"

Bai Dashan and the others looked at them with surprise, their lips curled up, and they felt proud.

Of course it’s amazing, this is an oil-based pen, made by our aunt.

Is Jin State’s craftsmanship already so advanced?

Their two countries bordered Dongzhou, but they didn't receive any news at all.

How could they know? The reason they didn't know was that Taohua Village restricted the circulation of these papers and pens between the two countries.

However, despite the restrictions, where there is profit, there will be merchants taking risks. The people of the two countries have already had some pens and papers flowing out of Taohua Village, but the quantity was small and no one paid special attention to it so they were not discovered.

After the two teams were surprised and amazed, Bai Dashan cleared his throat and said, "Then you can discuss the number among yourselves."

Therefore, the Liang team first snorted at the Qi envoy team opposite them, suppressed their curiosity about paper and pen, and cautiously gathered in a circle to start talking.

On the Qi State side, the envoy responded to Liang State with a disdainful and sarcastic look, and also called on the people in his team to start discussing in a low voice.

Although I had an idea of ​​the number of things I needed to purchase before coming here, something unexpected has happened now.

If you can't buy weapons and equipment, then why not buy more food and fodder?

Taohua Village did not specify the specific number and just let them discuss it themselves, which gave people from both countries a headache.

They were afraid that if they said too much, Taohua Village would not be able to provide it; and if they said too little, the enemy would buy too much and their country would not have enough food and grass to fight after the war.

Who knows how long this war will last? Given the huge consumption of food and fodder, it is better to have more than less.

So, both sides listed and painted again and again.

After about two cups of tea, the two countries handed the papers in their hands to Bai Dashan one after another.

Although it was almost the same time, the people from Qi State were half a body faster and were handed over to Bai Dashan first.

The envoy from Liang State, who was one step ahead, was so angry that he almost threw the teacup at the envoy from Qi State's face.

It was clearly our side that finished first, but the people on the other side shamelessly cut in line to hand in their papers.

The envoy from Liang was also angry with himself for taking too small a step.

When they were looking at Bai Dashan, the people of Qi State became nervous. They didn't know whether the numbers they listed were feasible.

Bai Dashan glanced down and said, "Okay."

Just when the people of Qi State were about to be surprised, he continued, "I will present it to our aunt later."

what?
The happiness on the faces of the people of Qi State was stuck on their faces.

Is this still in the preliminary review?!
But they didn't know what to say, so they just nodded and said, "Trouble you, Shopkeeper Bai. Thank you for your hard work, Little Master Bai."

Bai Dashan: "But you may not have heard it clearly just now, so I will say it again."

“Weapons and equipment are not for sale.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people from Liang State stared at Qi State in disbelief. Was he smuggling something private?

Liang Guo immediately spoke up: "Master Bai has said it, but there are still people who turn a deaf ear to it. They simply don't take Master Bai's words seriously."

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, when will we do so?

The opportunity is right at hand, and it would be against the will of heaven if we don't seize it.

It would be best if Taohua Village could become unhappy with Qiguo, reduce their numbers, or even refuse to cooperate.

Everyone knows about the crazy search for someone in Baijiabao a while ago.

Therefore, Bai Tao's status in Taohua Village is beyond doubt. This is also the reason why they had to think twice and be extremely polite when talking to Bai Tao just now.

They were all afraid that they would accidentally make Bai Tao unhappy. Being refused cooperation was not a big deal, but being targeted by the Baiyu Army would be a big trouble.

The Qi envoy's face immediately turned pale. He first cursed at Liang, "You are talking nonsense. We in Qi don't have that."

Although they wanted to, they didn't dare to do so.

The people of Qiguo quickly looked at Bai Dashan and explained, "We can explain the matter of purchasing pig iron."

"Many utensils are also needed in the folk..."

Bai Dashan waved his hand, interrupting the Qi Kingdom envoy and said, "Pig iron is indeed a war material, so we can only give you one third of the amount you requested, that is, 35%."

Originally, when Bai Dashan waved his hand, the people of Qi State had already begun to look dejected, but they did not expect that there would be a twist later, and they were immediately delighted.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you very much, Shopkeeper Bai."

Even 30% would be good.

You have to know that this is pig iron. No matter which country it is in, it is always in the hands of the court and it is strictly forbidden to touch it.

Being able to purchase 35% was already a special surprise.

When the people from Liang State heard this, they were also surprised that there was such a thing.

They immediately regretted it and wondered why they didn't think of it.

Just when the people of Liang State were thinking about whether they could also ask to buy some pig iron, Bai Dashan glanced at their purchase list.

"The amount of salt and tea you want is too high. We can only agree to half of it."

half?
Half is also fine. You know, they hesitated for several times and filled in a lot of money for the class. It can be said that they have included all the money they can afford.

The people from Liang State couldn't suppress their smiles and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you, Manager Bai."

Now, it was the people of Qi State who were dumbfounded.

What, salt and tea?
This group of dirty people from the two countries actually purchased a lot of salt and tea.

The envoy of Qi State glared at his people: What are your brains for? No one has thought of these things.

Bai Dashan didn't care about the undercurrents between Liang and Qi. He looked at them and said, "Cotton, both of you are asking for quite a lot. We can only give you 70% of the amount."

After a pause, he continued, "It's winter now, and the price of cotton is not low. Please make sure."

Seventy percent?

That's pretty good too.

The people of Liang said without thinking: "Sure, sure."

The people of Qi State were not to be outdone: "Sure, sure, we can accept that, too."

Before coming, they also inquired about the prices of goods in the Baijiabao caravan, so they naturally had an idea of ​​it.

"That's fine, the rest should be fine."

Bai Dashan stood up and said, "I will submit this to our aunt for approval."

"Just wait a moment."

The people from Liang and Qi countries nodded quickly, "Thank you for troubling Manager Bai."

In fact, Bai Tao asked Bai Dashan to take charge, which meant that he should be in charge of the whole matter.

But Bai Dashan felt that he must let the people of Liang and Qi know that when they came here, they had to follow the rules of Taohua Village.

The main goal is to make it look as complicated and troublesome as possible to outsiders.

See you tomorrow, my little cuties~~~
