Only Fang Jun can do it!

It reminds me of the time when Yang Fan used glass to trick the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Now Fang Jun is bringing glass products to deceive these overseas nobles.

Sure enough, he is as shameless as the Grand Governor... Ahem, he must be wise!

Xue Rengui was really numb.

Of course the shopkeeper didn't know what Xue Rengui was thinking.

Looking at the characters in the glass mirror, the shopkeeper kept exclaiming: "It's so clear. This is a rare treasure. I wonder how much spices the distinguished guest needs to exchange for one piece?"

In Xue Rengui's eyes, this glass mirror is not very valuable.

But in the eyes of the shopkeeper, it is a great treasure.

It would be unreasonable not to take such a treasure.

"Ahem, this glazed mirror is also a rare item in our Tang Dynasty. Non-princes, nobles, and relatives of the emperor are not qualified to use it."

"But in order to open up trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Champa Kingdom, we specially brought hundreds of these glazed mirrors."

"As long as the shopkeeper gives you a suitable price, we will exchange it with you, and we won't have to go to your king to trade."

"If you have these glazed mirrors, the shopkeeper will become a guest of your country's nobles."

Fang Jun continued to use his deception skills and blew up the glass mirror.

Xue Rengui on the side lowered his head to hold back his smile, for fear that he would laugh and reveal his secret.

But the shopkeeper was convinced and couldn't help but sigh.

The Tang Dynasty was indeed a celestial kingdom, and hundreds of such divine objects could be produced at once.

It seems that I am really going to make a fortune.

After the shopkeeper was overjoyed, he squinted his eyes and began to discuss the price with Fang Jun.

"Distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty, do you think this will work? I will exchange 500 kilograms of pepper for a mirror."

"But the glazed mirrors are too precious. My family may not be able to afford them. I can work with other spice shops to replace all your mirrors. What do you think?"

"500 pounds of pepper for a mirror..."

hiss!

Fang Jun and Xue Rengui looked at each other and took a breath of cold air.

500 kilograms of pepper is equivalent to tens of thousands of guan in Chang'an City.

Just replace this mirror?

No wonder Yang Fan said that the most profitable method here is to use foreign objects.

It seems that the other party is very happy and even invites people to exchange it.

Of course, the two of them were happy to see the result, at least they saved a lot of trouble.

Fang Jun's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was desperately trying to recall the details of the transaction that Yang Fan had mentioned when chatting with him.

"Well, it's only five hundred catties? That's not enough to cost!"

After speaking, Fang Jun frowned, with an unhappy look on his face.

The shopkeeper took a look and quickly increased the price: "What about six hundred kilograms? But if you want to change the pepper at once, you don't have that much. Do you think it would be okay to use other spices at a discount?"

The two bargained, and finally Fang Jun said helplessly: "Okay, let's exchange one side according to the price of 650 kilograms of pepper. Hurry up and find someone to discuss and see how much you can exchange!"

"Okay, deal done, treat me to my guests, wait a moment!"

After saying that, the shopkeeper hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that Fang Jun would regret it.

That's like taking a huge advantage.

Fang Jun also felt very happy. He went from 500 pounds to 650 pounds.

The spices exchanged for this mirror alone were equivalent to 20,000 guan when brought back to Chang'an City, which was a huge advantage.

In this way, both parties got a satisfactory price.

Merchants in the market heard that people from the Tang Dynasty were exchanging precious items for spices, and they all came to exchange for other goods.

After all, in the eyes of these people, the items brought by the Tang Dynasty were too good, and they were very generous in doing so.

Porcelain, silk and other things also continued to decrease, and a lot of gold and silver were also obtained.

In this way, Xue Rengui and the others didn't even have to come to their door, the merchants would just deliver them to their door.

And many grain merchants came.

When Xue Rengui found out that there was indeed enough water to grow three seasons a year, the two of them directly exchanged all the remaining things for grain.

When I arrived, I only loaded half of the freighter's cargo, but when I returned, I packed it full of money, spices and grain.

Xue Rengui and Fang Jun were extremely excited.

While Xue Rengui and Fang Jun were exchanging goods for things, Du He and Su Dingfang, who were far away in the Big Food Country, almost woke up laughing in their sleep.

After all, the prices of gold and silver here are so low that they don't seem to be considered money at all.

They can exchange a piece of silk, porcelain or tea leaves for hundreds of gold ingots.

If Yang Fan hadn't specifically stated that he needed gold, they really doubted that the gold would depreciate in value after being brought back to Datang.

Of course, even so.

The gold and silver that the King of Eaters collected in a short period of time could not completely exchange for the things on the ship.

They had no choice but to exchange money for Yang Fan to buy a large area where the black water (oil) was exposed.

I heard that Du He and Su Dingfang actually used such valuable things to buy these places where there is no grass.

With a wave of his hand, King Da Shi offered hundreds of thousands of hectares of black water in exchange.

Low-cost slaves can even be provided to help collect the black water.

The "brainless" behavior of Du He and his wife soon spread throughout the food country.

Some tribes and lords brought money and slaves to exchange...

"General, it's hard for us to manage so many slaves. In my opinion, we'd better transport the money back first."

"As for these slaves and the land with black water, we don't want it anymore?"

Seeing that half of the boat was filled with gold and silver, and the boat had begun to sink, Du He couldn't help but advise.

In his opinion, with so much gold and silver, he has already earned a lot of money.

Those slaves and black water have no effect at all.

"No, the Grand Governor said that these dark things can be burned and will become important strategic materials in the future."

"Although Su doesn't understand, I believe that the Governor will not talk nonsense."

"What's more, although there are many of these slaves, they will not resist. We can manage them well as long as we keep half of them. How can we not refuse what is basically a free gift?"

"You bring the money back first, I'll keep it here, and you go ask the Governor how to bring this black water back to the Tang Dynasty..."

Although Su Dingding also had some headaches, he unswervingly supported Yang Fan's decision.

Since Yang Fan said that these black waters have a great effect, of course he will implement them unswervingly.

"Okay, General Su, be careful. I think these slaves are very restless."

"I'll send the money back first and see what Brother Yishan says. I'll come back as soon as possible..."

Du He also knew that if some people were not left behind, the land and people exchanged would be of no use at all, so keeping Su Dingfang was the best choice.

It seems that the only way is to go back as soon as possible and report the situation to Yang Fan...

As for other aristocratic families and merchants who went overseas this time, the same situation also happened in various overseas countries.

Yang Fan would never have thought of it.

With the opening of maritime trade, the influence of Tang culture has far exceeded its original history.
