Chapter 402 3 Conditions
In the lobby of the Dian Ke Department, Ying Yu slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said with disdain:
"The market price of my Daqin grain is three yuan and one stone, ten times that is thirty yuan, can you afford it?
When Baquelio and Drew heard the words, they were stunned.
The price of [-] yuan a stone, they seemed, as if they really couldn't afford it, and the two of them instantly looked embarrassed.
Although three yuan and one stone of grain is not expensive, one stone of grain in Rome and Carthage is usually converted into Qin Banliang, which is about five yuan, and now it is even more than ten or even fifteen yuan.
But the two people who were patronizing the rivalry just now proposed to buy grain at ten times the price, 3000 yuan a stone, sold Rome and Carthage, and they couldn't buy the [-] million stone grain.
That's a full ninety million yuan!
This figure is equivalent to more than ten times the combined treasury revenue of Rome and Carthage!
In this world, it is estimated that only Daqin can collect so much money.
"His Royal Highness, can you allow me to pay in installments?"
Drew bit the bullet and said.
Barkero on the side also nodded quickly, expressing his agreement.
Who made the two countries unable to spend so much money at all!
"Instalments, even if it's ten years, you still can't finish it?"
"Let's see it like this. Since it's really not easy for the people of your two countries, the prince can be benevolent once and sell you 1000 million shi of grain at the price of ten yuan and one shi, but there are a few conditions."
Ying Yu pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
"If you have any conditions, please tell your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Buckley and Drew nodded quickly.
Ten cents a stone, this may have been a sky-high price in the past, but now, it can be regarded as a real friendship price.
Although you can only buy 1000 million stones, it's better than not having any harvest!
And the food belongs to Daqin, so naturally they have the final say!
In case His Highness the Crown Prince is offended, if it really costs thirty dollars a stone, they have to bite the bullet and buy it.
And 1000 million stones is actually a huge number.
It was enough for the two of them to have an explanation when they returned home, and even received a reward.
And in addition to this batch of ten qian grains, there is another thousand shi.
"The first condition is very simple. In order to make up for the loss of my Daqin, both of you must cancel tariffs on all products of my Daqin."
Ying Yu waved his hands and said.
Sure enough, let the soldiers of the Great Qin strictly control the entry of foreigners, so that they do not know the specific situation of the Great Qin, and now they can receive miraculous results.
The envoys of the two countries don't even know that Daqin's current food supply is actually so much that it is already a headache.
Ten coins and one stone is enough to make Daqin a fortune.
And the reason why it was not sold at thirty pennies and one stone, except that the two countries really couldn't afford it, was entirely because of the latter conditions.
This is what Ying Yu values most.
"I, Carthage, agree!"
"I'm okay with Rome!"
Drew and Buckley scrambled for the first time.
Although both countries imitated Daqin to set up tariffs, most of them were robbed by the local governments due to the fact that the control was not as good as Daqin's, and not many were actually received in the national treasury.
In their view, it is completely profitable to be able to exchange for low-priced food now.
"The second condition is also very simple. For the other 1000 million shi of grain, I, Daqin, will sell it to you at a par price of [-] yuan and [-] shi. However, in order to ensure that these grains can really be distributed to the common people, my Daqin will send officials to your country to supervise Throughout the food distribution process, your country must ensure the absolute safety of our officials!"
"If it goes well, after the autumn harvest, I, Daqin, can consider giving you a little more low-priced grain quota."
Ying Yu said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Buckley and Drew became even more confused.
This prince of Qin, how kind is he?
Ten qian is not considered expensive anymore, and five qian is one stone. At this time, it is really super low.
The two thought about it for a long time, but they didn't understand Ying Yu's purpose, but 500 million shi of food was enough to keep many people alive, and there was still a follow-up.
"His Royal Highness is benevolent!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking pity on the people of our country!"
The two quickly saluted Ying Yu again and agreed respectfully.
Although the officials of the Dian Ke Department were a little puzzled, five qian was already an extremely good price in their opinion, and they could also deploy a large number of Daqin personnel to carry out activities in Rome and Carthage, which was very beneficial for intelligence gathering, so it was very beneficial to Ying Yu It is also more and more admired.
"The last condition is not difficult, that is, I, Daqin, have paid so much, and you probably won't be able to pay back the money."
"Then lease these islands in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea to Daqin to repay the debt!"
Ying Yu casually picked up the map of the Mediterranean that he had prepared long ago, and pointed to several islands in the middle of the sea.
These islands are extremely famous in later generations.
Such as Sicily, Crete, Malta and so on.
Baquello and Drew came up together, and looked at the positions marked by Ying Yu, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
Although they are not admirals, they can also see the importance of these islands for controlling the Mediterranean.
It can be said to be of infinite value.
But what Ying Yu said was very reasonable. Besides, the two countries really couldn't come up with [-] million yuan.
Gritting his teeth, Drew said, "Your Highness, please allow your subjects to ask the country for instructions."
Buckley also nodded.
"Yes, you have half a month. If you contact me, you can borrow the bird from the Dian Ke Department."
After Ying Yu finished speaking lightly, he got up and left the main hall of the Dian Ke Department.
What should be said, he has said.
I believe the two countries will make the choice he wants to see.
Because they didn't have the right to say no to Daqin.
The officials of the Dian Ke Department behind them looked at Ying Yu with admiration.
As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, he only used 3000 million shi of grain that Daqin was still worrying about a few days ago and didn't know how to dispose of it, in exchange for so many benefits.
This kind of vertical and horizontal means is the real master level!
Compared with Guiguzi and Strategists, I don't know how much stronger they are.
......
In the imperial study room, Ying Zheng, who received the news, also jumped up in surprise.
Great Qin wants to build an empire on which the sun never sets, and the last decent opponents are Rome and Carthage.
It's just that due to the rapid development, the logistics can't keep up, and the restriction of the Mediterranean Sea, before the opening of the Suez Canal, the influence of Daqin on the Mediterranean Sea was relatively limited.
Even after the navy enters, it will take a lot of time to figure out the hydrology and climate of the Mediterranean Sea and build enough ports and support bases.
But now, Ying Yu's move directly saved Da Qin at least several years.
It can be said that it once again accelerated the pace of Qin's conquest of Rome and Carthage.
Similarly, Ying Zheng had no doubts that Rome and Carthage would agree to Ying Yu's conditions.
Because of the current situation, Rome and Carthage have no right to refuse at all.
Even if they knew it was poison, Rome and Carthage had to swallow it.
"Haha, it doesn't look like it will take too long, I will be able to see the national flag of my Great Qin in every corner of the world!"
Ying Zheng was full of pride and laughed heartily.
