Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 237 Agents

The crowd dispersed and Liu Yu invited Dong Bai to go home together, but was rejected.

"It's getting late, I'd better go back to Yong'an Palace!" Dong Bai waved goodbye to the two little sisters, and then left under the protection of the guards.

Diao Chan and Zou Huimin stepped forward to give them a few steps, and Liu Yu called the two daughters to go home together when he saw that they were far away.

"Let's go back too."

Liu Yu had just finished speaking, but he heard Kaparin's voice behind him.

"My honorable Lord Zhongshan King, please accept Kaparin as a disciple. If it is not possible, I am willing to be a servant!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu turned around and saw that Kaparin was kneeling devoutly at his feet.

After hearing Liu Yu's story, all the onlookers left with a sigh, but the shrewd Kaparin did not leave.

Although he also felt that Liu Yu at that time was unlikely to learn those inventions of Master Kong, but would there be books such as secret recipes left in the relics?
And if he can learn one or two of the secret recipes, he can use this to become a real rich man when he returns to Parthia.

Liu Yu saw through Kaparin's mind at a glance, and thought that this Western Region businessman was really shrewd, and he was worthy of being a business elite who had contacts with the Western Regions and the great Han.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu thought deeply again, if Kapalin could be used to open up trade in the Western Regions, it would save the weak Han Dynasty a lot of recovery time.

After making a decision, Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's impossible to accept you as a disciple. I don't have any shortage of servants..."

Hearing this, Kapalin lowered his head in disappointment, but Liu Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I still lack an agent in the Western Regions, I wonder if Xiaoka is willing to do it?"

"Agent?" Kaparin raised his head in doubt, he still doesn't quite understand the meaning of these three words.

Just listen to Liu Yu's simple explanation: "The so-called agent is a middleman who can help me sell some 'cherished' things to the Western Regions. In the future, I will only provide you with the source of goods, as long as you pay enough order money, as for the final The selling price is up to you to decide."

After saying this, Liu Yu threw the pure white glass in Kaparin's hand.

Kaparin looked at the treasure in his hands in surprise and doubt, and then asked in an extremely excited voice: "My honorable Lord Zhongshan Wang, what do you mean... Do you want me to sell all the things like this for you? You have inherited Master Kong's mantle?"

Liu Yu smiled noncommittally, and Kaparin jumped up in shock seeing that he didn't deny it.

Although reselling silk and tea can also make Kaparin a lot of money, those things in Liu Yu's house are treasures that the world has never heard of.

So each piece will be priceless.

And if he becomes the agent of these only treasures in the world and has the exclusive distribution right, it will be like getting rich overnight.

How did such a great good thing fall on his head!

"My respected Lord Zhongshan Wang, Kaparin is willing to be your agent!"

"Very well, the first product I want you to sell is the glass in your hand. Since it is the first transaction, I will give you a preferential policy. I will provide the product first, and then collect the payment after you sell it. At the same time, if you If you bring enough money when you come here, I will have even more valuable treasures for you to sell on your behalf."

Liu Yu made the first deal on the spot, and Kaparin was completely overwhelmed by his generosity and trust.

"Ah! Is this true? I, Kaparin, am so lucky to have met such a nobleman as King Zhongshan in this far east! From now on, I, Kaparin, will be your most loyal agent!"

Kaparin was very grateful, because with his current strength and ability, he couldn't pay enough for the order in advance, but as long as he made this sum, he would have absolute capital, and maybe he could take the opportunity to become the leader of the Kalin family. upper class.

And all this is thanks to Liu Yu's generosity and trust.

"I just don't know what to pay after I sell... the Holy Grail? Is it gold? Or jewels?"

"No jewelry, just gold or wootz steel, by the way, when you come back next time, remember to bring me some spices and cotton seeds from the Parthian Kingdom."

……

On the way home, Diao Chan and Zou Huimin asked Liu Yu in puzzlement, why did Kapalin act as an agent and sell it directly to the rich in Luoyang City? Sold to Parthia.

Liu Yu didn't know how to answer. After all, the big man didn't pay much attention to business, let alone foreign trade.

At this time, Liu Yu saw the sportswear they were wearing, so he thought of how to explain it to them.

"Although a glass is precious, it can't bring food and warmth to the people of the Han Dynasty, but the cotton in the Anxi country can be made into cotton-padded quilts for winter. I exchanged a treasure that is not practical for other countries. A lot of money, and at the same time introduce new crops, why not do that!"

"Oh, it turns out that my husband wants to learn from Bo Wanghou and re-open the business roads of the Western Regions for the big man!" Diao Chan said with a sense of enlightenment.

The perennial wars at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty made businessmen from various countries in the Western Regions afraid to come to Luoyang to do business, and the businessmen of the Han Dynasty would never take the initiative to go to Hudi because they regarded themselves as a big country.

As a result, the Han Dynasty, which was not very good at foreign trade, completely gave up this way of getting rich quickly.

However, there is actually another reason for Liu Yu to support Kaparin in business, and that is to spy on the overall strength of the Anxi and Guishuang empires.

Especially the Guishuang Dynasty, which is only separated from the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty by the Mansion of the Minister of the Western Regions.

Now the imperial court has long lost its control over the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. Once the Guishuang Dynasty sends troops eastward, it will be easy to integrate the entire Western Regions, which will pose a great threat to the great Han.

Although there is no record in history that Guishuang troops entered Liangzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was harassed by Guishuang troops many times.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, not to mention that the Western Regions are the territory of the big man, and it is disrespectful to the big man to dare to make trouble at the border.

How to say that sentence, whoever offends me will be punished even if he is far away!
So Liu Yu had this idea a long time ago. When the glory of the imperial court is revived, he must personally lead the troops to see the scenery outside the Congling Ridge.

……

It was getting dark, and the shops in the West Market began to close their doors. At this time, a figure appeared in an inconspicuous corner.

This person was covered with footprints all over his body, and there were obvious urine marks on his trouser legs. It looked like he had just been beaten by the crowd.

Fortunately, his head was not injured, but the appearance of the sharp-nosed monkey cheeks could easily remind people of such words as sinister and despicable.

"Is it great to be the king of Zhongshan? The ruler of the Han Dynasty today is Dong Zhuo, the grand master, and my uncle is a very important figure of the grand master. His Luoyang order was appointed by the grand master himself. Liu Yu Just wait, uncle will definitely avenge me!"

This sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked guy didn't dare to get up after being punished by Liu Yu. He didn't dare to limp towards the Luoyang county magistrate's mansion until Liu Yu and others were far away.
