Chapter 344: Peace talks were successful and the contract was signed smoothly
Now everyone in Fenggou City is talking about the latest news at the market. What are the prices of cattle, sheep and horses? Who bought something in large quantities? What is good at the market? How many people went to the market this time? Many things have become the topic of conversation after dinner.
When people meet in the streets and alleys, they will ask: "Did your relatives go to the fair this time?"
Many people here live here all year round, and they all have relatives and friends living in various places. Who doesn't have relatives who go to the market? This is a good way to chat about the latest news you know. If you don't know, you will be looked down upon.
Su He and his companions followed the convoy and slowly entered the city. The streets became more lively, and merchants from other places came here after hearing the noise. They were waiting for people from outside the city to return to see if they had brought back what they wanted. Fenggu City welcomed visitors from all directions.
Su He and his team had two cows that were picked up by someone in the inner city. A tall, thin, middle-aged man stopped their carriage and asked loudly, "Is the owner of these two cows willing to sell them? We can discuss the price."
Su He's father leaned forward and said to him with a smile: "I'm sorry, this is for our own use at home, we don't plan to sell it. Please go ask somewhere else!"
The man said regretfully, "Well, sorry to bother you."
He might have really wanted to catch the two cows, as he watched them walk a long way before turning around and leaving.
The cattle in Dongjie State are all strong and much larger than those in Ansheng State. Their cattle are all middle-aged, so they are eye-catching.
Su He smiled and said, "If I had known that someone wanted to buy our cows, I would have bought a few more. It's so easy to make money just by reselling them."
Su He's father said: "It's not that they can't get out, it's General Wang An who is working for the benefit of the people under his rule. I really want to thank them this time, they have done a great thing for the people."
Su He smiled and said, "Both countries can benefit from the trade. Our Fenggu City is very popular now. You can see that more and more people will come here from now on."
Everyone knows that more people means more opportunities. Everyone wants to eat, drink and have fun, so Fenggu City will surely develop. Business will be even more prosperous in the future, and General Wang An will no longer have to worry about food and military pay.
If Fenggu City develops business, people will have to pay taxes and not worry about not having money. If there is not enough food and grass, they can buy it themselves, and if there is not enough military pay, they can pay for it themselves. This is the result he has always wanted, and it is now being realized step by step.
On the first day after the big fair, the ninth prince of Ansheng, Zhang Liang, and the third prince of Dongjie, Yelu Yixin, gathered together early to discuss the specific terms of the peace talks. Both sides had the actual numbers in their hands, and someone under them had already sorted them out and handed them over.
Zhang Liang smiled and began: "Please consider carefully today, Third Prince. We must formulate a contract that is beneficial to both countries based on the actual situation."
Yelu Yixin smiled and said: "The fair was very successful, which is the best proof. We will formulate the contract content based on the actual situation, and our two countries will definitely achieve our mutual goals."
The other officials from both sides had already understood the situation of the big market and were very supportive of the result. They looked through the data on the paper in their hands and discussed each item one by one until the final result was finalized.
The negotiation went very smoothly. The two sides were no longer deadlocked. They each made concessions and reached a consensus. With the approval of Zhang Liang and Yelu Yixin, someone rewrote a new contract.
The two of them signed a contract together, took their respective country's seals, dipped them in red ink, and stamped them on the two contracts. The two men looked at the two red seals with satisfied smiles, each took one and gave it to their subordinates to keep, and returned to give it to their fathers.
The peace talks were a complete success, and Yelu Yixin proposed to return to Dongjie State in two days to report. He finally fulfilled his mission and signed a mutually beneficial contract, doing a great thing for Dongjie State.
Zhang Liang cordially invited them to hold a farewell banquet for the envoys of Dongjie Kingdom tomorrow, and he would be the host to see the guests off. Yelu Yixin readily agreed, after all, both sides were very satisfied with the result this time.
