"My lord, what should I do?"

A Tubo warrior had a fierce look on his face.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for the bomb-like expression on Tang's face, my Tubo army would have already attacked the city of Chang'an by now, and by then...huh!"

Shang Nang looked unwilling, and all the Tubo Tuyuhun envoys around him were also full of anger.

"The old man will write a letter to the king soon, explaining the situation here, 200 million catties of yak jerky, and twenty cartloads of rare treasures, I, Tubo, can still get them out!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The samurai bowed his hands.

As for the two Tuyuhun envoys around, a look of embarrassment flashed across their faces when they heard the words.

But, thinking of something, he sighed softly, bid farewell to Shang Nang, and walked out.

Their house is next door to the houses of Shang Nang and other Tubo envoys.

"Ah... what are you guys doing?"

At this time, the waiter of Honglu Guest House came up with a broom, seeing the broken glass all over the floor, his eyes widened suddenly.

And after hearing what the waiter said, all the waiters from the Honglu guest house around him also came over.

Seeing the broken glass slag on the ground, his face immediately became angry.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. When my lord was just drinking water, I burned my hand and accidentally dropped the water glass on the ground!"

Seeing this, a Tubo envoy said quickly.

"careless?"

Hearing this, the waiters in the shop couldn't help but glance at the broken glass on the ground again, and curled their lips at the same time.

What a bunch of hozen, they can't even find a good reason to lie!

However, thinking of the Mr. Dian Ke who had just left here just now, these waiters in the shop were thinking about something, and they thought of something, and didn't pursue it too much, just said with a light smile.

"It's okay, there are a lot of these glasses in Chang'an City, you can throw as many as you want!"

"Thank you brother for understanding!"

The Tubo envoy felt relieved and said quickly.

"Understand, understand, naturally understand!"

The shop clerk smiled reservedly again, "It's just that these glasses are also special glasses purchased by my Honglu Hotel from those glass shops in the city, and each one costs two pennies.

Such a large amount of money, I, Honglu Hotel, cannot help you to bear it! "

"Twice?"

Hearing this, these Tubo envoys couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

"Why? The price is set by the glass shop. If you think it's expensive, you can go find a glass shop and order one for me at Honglu Guest House!"

The shop clerk said angrily.

At the same time, he has already begun to clean up the broken glass on the ground.

Although they are very reluctant to clean up these Tubo hozens, this is their job.

They can't shirk it.

"My little brother is right, I should pay for this money!"

The Tubo envoy came back to his senses and said hastily.

Then, he took out two slings of money from a wooden box in the house and handed them to the waiter.

After the waiter left, he hurried into the back room.

Coincidentally, Shang Nang has already written a letter and is sealing it!

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that his subordinates looked wrong, Shang Nang asked quietly.

……

Chapter 701 Purpose of the Tubo Mission

"Da Xiang!"

The deputy envoy of Tubo was full of anger, "I've been framed by the profiteers of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"Master, for the beautiful glass teacup you broke just now, the waiter at the Honglu Hotel only asked me for two pieces of money. Moreover, in those glass shops in Chang'an City, only one of this kind of teacups is sold. It takes two pennies.

And those profiteers from the Tang Dynasty who came to my Tubo, even dared to ask me for twenty guan! "

"Twenty?"

Shang Nang murmured, "So, the price of that glass water cup is not the same!"

"Not twice?"

The Tubo envoy was stunned, "Master, could it be that the Honglu guest house asked me for less money?"

Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help raising his head, and gave the Tubo envoy a cold look, "Are you a pig brain?"

"President?"

The Tubo envoy asked with a grievance on his face.

"Humph!"

Shang Nang snorted helplessly, and then explained: "The price of this kind of glass should be consistent, or even lower!"

"what?"

Now, all the Tubo envoys couldn't help being surprised.

"The price is so low?"

But no one questioned Shang Nang's words.

"You can change into Tang Dynasty clothes and go to the glass shop to inquire!"

Still in the bag.

"The prime minister is wise!"

Hearing this, all the envoys couldn't help bowing their hands to Shang Nang, and then two Tubo envoys withdrew.

In the house, Shang Nang just frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he didn't try to stop him.

Afterwards, he handed the letter in his hand to a confidant beside him, "Send this letter to Zanpu quickly!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The confidant responded, took the letter, and walked out quickly.

Inside the house, Shang Nang glanced at the pen in his hand, and a fire flashed in his eyes.

"The Tang Dynasty is indeed extremely prosperous, and even such luxurious and exquisite objects as fountain pens can be manufactured. And the price of the glass fetish is so low. If there is a chance, I really want to meet that King Jin!  … ..."

As he said that, he walked to the sofa beside him, made a cup of tea, and drank it himself.

And on the same floor, in the room of the Tuyuhun Mission, two warriors came out, with a letter in their arms, and hurried out.

Every move of Tubo and Tuyuhun's envoys was monitored and reported to the palace at any time.

These, Shang Nang and others did not know.

And after half an hour.

The two Tubo envoys also ran back with livid faces, and when they saw Shang Nang, their eyes turned red.

"Great Minister, merchants from the Tang Dynasty are too treacherous!"

Shang Nang did not reply, but looked at the two subordinates quietly.

Seeing Shang Nang's expression, the two Tubo envoys were startled, and said quickly, "My lord, that one glass teacup only costs four hundred cash, and three pieces of glass can be bought with the same money.

As for objects such as larger glass cylinders and glassware, they are also cheap.

The volume is more expensive, but each piece is at most two.

And the cheapest ones are glass cups..."

"However, to my surprise, the price of yak jerky that those Tang merchants bought back from me in Tubo was only [-]% more than the price they charged from us!"

"I see!"

After listening, Shang Nang's heart moved slightly. At this moment, he finally figured out what he had been confused about before!

"President?"

All the Tubo envoys looked puzzled.

"You think, why can those merchants from Tang Dynasty charge such high prices for our dried yak meat?"

Shang Nang asked.

Now, all the Tubo envoys finally understood.

"President, is it because of those glass objects?"

"It's natural!"

Shang Nang sighed softly, and said: "When those Tang people came to our Tubo, most of the time they exchanged precious items such as glass and tea leaves for yak jerky.

Although I have raised the price of yak jerky very high.

However, those merchants from the Tang Dynasty also raised the prices of glass and tea to a high level, so that the two are equal, and the merchants from the Tang Dynasty did not suffer too much! "

"It is so!"

"The prime minister is wise..."

Immediately, all the Tubo envoys suddenly realized.

Shang Nang nodded slightly.

Immediately, with a solemn face, he said in a deep voice.

"Okay, these objects are trivial matters! Don't forget, what are we talking about when we come to Datang!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'm here to discuss peace with Datang. Even if the negotiation fails in the end, no matter what, it will be delayed so that Datang will not send troops to attack Tubo.

Finally, I also invite all the caravans from Datang to sell glass, tea, salt and white wine to me again in Tubo! "

A Tubo envoy said quickly.

"idiot!"

Shang Nang gave the envoy a cold look.

"Although these are very important to my Tubo, there is one more important thing!"

"Another thing?"

Hearing this, all the Tubo envoys were a little surprised.

"Dare to ask Xiangguo what's the matter?"

"bomb!"

Shang Nang said directly.

"bomb?"

All the Tubo envoys were shocked, but after realizing it, they were overjoyed.

"Exactly!"

Shang Nang nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "As long as I get the secret formula of the bomb, I, Tubo, can also create such a powerful bomb.

The fortified cities of the Tang Dynasty are like nothing to me, Tubo. Whenever I want to attack the Tang Dynasty, I can attack the Tang Dynasty at any time! "

"Extremely, extremely..."
