Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 142 Trade Relations

Mo Sang has been worried these days. He is extremely worried that the trade between Niboluo and the Tang Dynasty will be completed smoothly. In this case, Nidu will completely gain a foothold in the court and threaten his position in the future.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of time for Datang to deliver the goods, but he didn't expect that after only two days, there was news that the first batch of goods from the Tang people had arrived.

After Li Ke sent Nidu away, he immediately started shipping the goods.And those two secret agents followed Nidu to Niboluo, and after finding out the route, they immediately rushed to the secret passage to contact the delivery team arranged by Li Ke.So Nidu returned to Niboluo on his front foot, and Datang's goods followed him on his back foot.

Upon receiving this news, Mo Sang was terrified, and he immediately went to check the goods himself for the reason of checking the quality.

The result naturally shocked him to the extreme.

The silk cloth sent over was almost the same as the previous samples, and the shipment volume was huge. With this batch of goods alone, Nidu could earn a lot of money.

Naturally, this money is not owned by Nidu personally. Part of it has to be handed over to the Niboluo treasury. But Nidu, as the first handler, can make a lot of money.

Besides, this is just a trade on the surface. Under the mortal enemy, Nidu will definitely buy goods from Datang in his own name and sell them privately.The money Nido can earn from these private transactions far exceeds the official trade.

What's more, Nidu was also appreciated by the king, which was more important than money.

For this reason, Mo Sang was terrified, and he immediately summoned his subordinates to make suggestions for himself.

A group of drunkards and ricebags thought for a long time but failed to come up with a good idea, and Mosang was so angry that he scolded again.

Finally, Prime Minister Keti came up with an idea and asked him to go to the king and find a way to wrest the trading rights of this silk cloth from the second prince.

So, this Mosang went to the palace again, and made a statement in front of his father, saying that his younger brother was weak, and wanted to "share his worries" for him.

The old king, though he had always favored him, did not immediately agree.

The reason is simple: this business was negotiated by Nidu, and if you want to hand it over to him now, you need Nidu's consent.

The king summoned Nidu to the hall again and explained the situation to him.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

When Nidu heard the situation, he flatly refused.

"Brother Wang, this matter of trade with Datang involves a huge amount of money. If you don't have deep experience, if you come forward rashly, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it well!"

Mo Sang had a concerned look on his face, as if he really cared for his younger brother.

How could Nidu not know what his brother Wang was planning?
He turned his body to one side, turned his back to his elder brother, and said to the king: "Father, this trade was negotiated between me and His Highness the King of Shu. He is the largest silk producer in the Tang Dynasty. Make it clear that you will only do business with me, Nidu, if it is handed over to other people, he will stop trading with our country!"

"what?"

These words frightened the king. This trade could bring huge wealth to the Nibala royal family. Once it stopped, it would be a huge loss for the king.

And according to what Nidu said, the king of Shu and Nidu already had an excellent friendship, and if the trade changed hands midway, the king of Shu might lose his temper.

Although the king is devoted to Tubo, he has no ill feeling towards Tang Dynasty, and he can earn so much money for nothing, so he is not willing to fight against Tang Dynasty!

"Well! I have thought about it again and again. This business was negotiated by Nidu. Naturally, Nidu must manage it himself. If Mo Sang has the ability, go and negotiate it yourself!"

With a wave of his hand, the king persuaded the two princes to leave.

Being driven back to his palace, Mo Sang was completely out of tricks, so he could only bring the old Ke over again and ask him to help make suggestions.

"Hey! The old minister can also guess that this trip probably won't succeed!"

When Keti heard the result, he sighed bitterly.

Mo Sang didn't want to accept the current situation, so he hurriedly sat beside Keti: "Master Yue Zhang, you have to help me!"

Ke Ti frowned and remained silent. He thought for a long time before raising his head again: "The prince said earlier that the person who sold Nidu silk was the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Yes!" Mo Sang hurriedly said, "It's the King of Shu!"

Keti sighed: "The king of Shu, the old minister has heard about it, and heard that the battle is very powerful. Qianzhenzi defeated the three northern heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and he personally led the army and commanded the battle!"

How could Mo Sang be in the mood to listen to him, so he quickly asked: "What can Mr. Yue Zhang do, tell me quickly!"

Nakti was still talking to himself: "I don't know what kind of trick Nidu thought of, and he got on the line with the King of Shu..."

He finally sighed: "It seems that we have only one last resort!"

"What method?" Mosang asked quickly with his eyes brightened.

"Send someone to Datang!"

Keti said: "The key to the problem now is the King of Shu. Let's send someone there, spend more money, and bribe the King of Shu to abandon Nidu and do business with us!"

"That's right!" Mo Sang was overjoyed, and he patted his thigh: "It's also the first time that Nanidu came to Datang, and he made a relationship with the King of Shu. He wants money but has no money, and he has no one. How can he?" Comparable to us?"

He immediately stood up: "I will send people to Datang immediately, isn't it just for money? I, Mozangco, have much more money than Nidu! Spend more money, and we must snatch this silk trade!"

"At that time, I'll see how you, Nidu, are still jumping around!"

Lying on the couch, Mosang clenched his fists, his expression was ferocious and frightening.

……

Shu land, Chengdu Shu Palace.

Li Ke is inspecting a large amount of wool shipped from Niboluo.

"Tsk tsk! The quality of the wool from Ni Borneo is really good!"

The secret passage uses cement roads, and the transportation efficiency is extremely high. It took only a few days for the first batch of wool to be delivered from Niboluo.

Seeing so much wool, Li Ke was overjoyed.

His woolen sweaters have almost been developed, and many new styles have been developed. He just waits for the arrival of wool and can rush to produce them.

"Your Highness, here is a letter sent by the second prince!"

At this time, the secret agent in charge of the delivery came up, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Ke took it, tore it open and looked at it.

This letter describes some of the situation in the Nivalo Dynasty, as well as the views of the king and the eldest prince on this trade.

Li Ke was not interested in these things, he glanced at them, and planned to close the letter.

But at the end, he discovered the information about Tubo mentioned in the letter, so he couldn't help but stare at it and read it carefully.

"The eldest prince Mosang and the Prime Minister of Tubo, Shang Nang, are engaged in the wool trade, selling large quantities of domestic wool from Nivalo to Tubo..."

"In the territory of Tubo, a small half of the wool is supplied by my big prince Mosang..."

Closing the letter, Li Ke smiled leisurely: "It seems that we are going to discuss business with people from Tibet..."
