Chu State encouraged business the most during the Warring States Period, and the great nobles were also keen on business.
The King of Chu needs a good reputation, take back the old King of Chu, and also curry favor with the old nobles.
This is a win-win situation.
Bai Hui adjusted his crown clothes and stretched out a finger: "The first one is to buy the bamboo pole.
I, the Qin State, are willing to pay twice the weight of copper coins to buy it, but I hope that the Chu State will send someone to teach us how to make the wooden frame."
"Five times" A Chu nobleman stood up.
Two times plus transportation fees would make no profit.
What Bai Hui bought was actually an iron plowshare, not a complete plow, so technicians who made the plow frame were needed.
After hearing the quotation from the Chu nobles, Bai Hui immediately bargained: "We will transport it ourselves, two and a half times."
Bai Hui cannot cut people off, but Bai Hui is confident in bargaining.
"Three and a half times, you make your own luck."
King Chu said: "Okay, three times.
Since the envoy of Qin is sincere, we must give way."
For the Chu State, this was a huge profit.
Bai Hui immediately made the second one: "Our Qin country is suffering, and many people have never known the taste of meat.
So I want to buy a lot of salted fish.
And one more thing, if the fish oil in the fish on the seaside is not easy to transport, You can dry it and sell it to us so that the people of Qin can taste the meat."
"The price is easy to tell, but what about the quantity?"
Another nobleman spoke.
It’s not good to set prices randomly.
Fish oil is not valuable, and salted fish is not expensive either.
The price offered by Chu State was too high, and Qi State among the other countries also had a large amount of aquatic products.
The natives of Chu State simply cannot eat all the aquatic products, so they can have as much as they want.
Bai Hui added at this time: "Part of the payment will be exchanged for Qin's skins."
As soon as they heard about leather, the officials of the Chu State became uneasy.
The leather goods of the Qin State were military supplies, and the leather could be used to make leather armor.
Among all the countries in the world, only Qin and Zhao have the best leather goods.
The King of Chu thought that it was time for him to experience the presence of the king, so he immediately said: "Every year, we will add a thousand more horses, and we will need war horses."
Bai Hui nodded: "Okay.
The rest of the country in Qin also has some wild products.
Although they are from the poor and remote areas, I believe that the wealthy people in the country of Chu are also willing to try them."
"It's easy to say, then we'll tentatively decide on 150,000 tons of salted fish per year, and we'll discuss how much dried fish oil we get."
"We, the Qin State, have also accepted many of them.
The foreign ministers have thanked the King of Chu."
Bai Hui had to study this ceremony for several days before he could achieve the standard.
People in this era pay attention to this.
If you don't even know etiquette, you are not qualified to be called a person of the upper class.
Bai Hui resigned.
The King of Chu asked his ministers: "What do you think the Qin envoy wants fish oil for?"
"The barbarians of the Qin State do not understand etiquette.
As the envoy of Qin himself said, they are in a poor and remote place and have never tasted meat.
After boiling it with some fish oil, it finally became a little oily."
Hahaha, all the Chu ministers laughed.
According to the rules of Chu State, the emperor is appointed as the chief minister, and all cattle, sheep, and hogs are kept.
The princes eat cattle, the ministers eat sheep, the officials eat pigs, the scholars eat fish, and the common people eat vegetables.

This emperor is naturally the emperor of Zhou, and the princes are the kings of the countries.
According to Qin's twenty-first rank, the rank of Qing is the highest two-rank title.
A doctor is a public official ranging from the eighteenth-level concubine to the seventh-level official.
Then scholars, from the sixth class of officials to the second class of superior officials.
The common people are the lowest nobles and nobles.
The nobles of Chu State did not eat fish, and fish was the food of the lower-class nobles.
The fish industry output of Chu State is extremely amazing.
It relies on the Yangtze River water system and has Jiangnan water towns.
There are as many of them as there are.
No matter how much the Chu people laughed at him, Bai Hui believed that he had made the right purchase.
Especially dried fish oil.
Although Bai Hui didn't know what kind of fish the dried fish oil came from, it was called isinglass, and it was a precious thing that was sold at a sky-high price in later generations.
In any case, after the formal alliance was signed, Bai Hui's trip to Chu was completed without any danger.
With a formal covenant, Bai Hui embarked on the road back home.
In addition to the reward of five thousand stones of rice, Bai Hui also received twenty servants, an exquisite carriage, two fine clothes, and ten beauties.
This beauty is calculated by numbers.
In the eyes of Chu people, beauty is a kind of living treasure.
However, this beauty was not included in the official reward.
It was a private gift from Xiong Zilan's house.
It took seven days to go to Chu State and fifteen days to come back because the grain truck was moving too slowly.
As for the grain that Bai Qi grabbed, Chu State did not intend to come back and only wanted 850 high-quality horses.
In exchange for war horses, fifty of them were regarded as Qin's apology to Xiong Zilan.
Finally, I saw Bai Qi again.
There was a rare smile on Bai Qi's cold face.
After patting Bai Hui heavily on the shoulder, Bai Qi stretched out two fingers.
Bai Huixin said that no one in this era should use two fingers to indicate victory.
What does Bai Qi mean?
"You, me, Chief Zuo" "Tenth rank Zuo Shu Zhang, we are now a great noble."
Bai Hui was ecstatic.
Bai Qi replied coldly: "Chief Zuo is only the 10th-class noble, and our brother's estate has not yet been sealed."
Qin Law stipulates that from the ninth level, there are food fiefs.
By the tenth level, Zuo Shuchang has indeed entered the ranks of the real nobles, and will have food fiefs, or a guaranteed income of five hundred shi per year.
There wasn't much of a smile on Bai Qi's face, he just said lightly: "Go home."
Qi, Han, and Wei have withdrawn their troops, and Qin has also paid the price.
The Fenling area became ceded land, and Fenling became Feng Lingdu in later generations, including the current location of Bai Qi and a city to the north. ceded.
Officials also began to hand over the two cities promised to Chu State.
In any case, this war did not allow the enemy to invade Hangu Pass, and Qin was not considered defeated.
Before leaving, Bai Qi grabbed a handful of dirt and silently said two words: "Three years" Bai Qi was unwilling to give in, but he also understood that Qin State almost lost its vitality this time, and it would take at least three years to recover.
Fortunately, he brought back thousands of prisoners of war from the Qin-Chu battle.
To cede territory and seek peace was the greatest shame in General Qin's heart.
Half a month later, brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui finally returned to Xianyang City.
Xianyang City gave Brother Bai Qi the honor of returning home.
Countless people greeted him outside the city gate, a lone army with less than 3,000 wounded soldiers.
Accounted for 70%.
Attacking a military camp in South Korea and capturing Chu's grain transport team escorted by three thousand soldiers was worthy of this honor.

The two brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui entered the palace and were granted titles.
Before the two of them entered the Qin Palace, they saw the King of Qin greeting them at the door.
This was the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
The victorious general must be welcomed by the King of Qin, as far as Hangu Pass.
Bai Qi was about to salute when countless pairs of eyes saw Bai Hui fall to the ground and hug King Qin Zhao's thigh: "Your Majesty, the last general thought that he would never see the King again, and the last general thought that he could no longer fight for the Qin Dynasty.
That day, There are no supplies, there is no food in the camp, the city in the rear has fallen, and the camp is full of wounded soldiers."
Your Majesty:
