Anyone can see that the transaction between the Kangba people and the Song people was unfair, but this was when the news was ambiguous. The Kangba people did not know the value of their goods in the Song Dynasty, and the Song people would not tell them.

A large bundle of beef tendons can only be exchanged for three stones of food. Even so, the Kangba people still enjoy it. The exquisite porcelain, warm sweaters and cotton cloth are even more fatal to them.

But there will always be smart people among the Kangba people to find that it is inappropriate. The transaction is the business of both parties, and it is very important to figure out the opponent's mind. The smart Renqingdong has already seen that the Kangba people in this transaction are due to the status of "subjugation".

Song Rao's goods seemed endless. After Kangba Rao was sold to the Song people, they were made into sweaters and sold back to earn more goods. The medicinal materials were made into patent medicines by the Song people and sold them back at a higher price to buy more medicinal materials and cattle and sheep.

Cotton cloth, ready-to-wear, porcelain, medicine, fine salt, silk, glass, and even those bitter fruits have become something that Kangba people flock to.

Some wealthy families will also spend a large number of cattle, sheep, and even war horses to exchange for a mirror. This mirror is brighter than a bronze mirror, and the lights of the people are visible.

Ren Qingdong could even see spots on his face in the mirror, but the price was three best war horses. The horse was Kangba Rao's life. The Kangba people who were with the horses all day long actually began to exchange war horses for Song Rao's goods. This seemed to Ren Qingdong as an incredible thing.

"Cai Zhuanyun, Song Rao's goods are all exquisite, and Song Rao's skills are also superb, but you shouldn't bully the honest Kangba people like this!"

Cai Boqi knew that Renqing East Meeting was like this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a voluntary transaction between the two parties. It is normal. You need iron pots and iron tools. We travel thousands of miles and travel thousands of miles to transport goods to you. Do you know how difficult it is to walk on the Shu Road in Chengdu? How many corpses have been buried in the Shu Road by our merchants and people in the Song Dynasty? How much money has the imperial court spent on the Shu Road? Why do you want to enjoy the road paved by the Song Dynasty spent countless money, manpower and life? Although they earn a lot, they have to pay high commercial taxes to the court!"

Cai Boyi's voice was filled with excitement and anger, as if the merchants and people of the Song Dynasty had suffered the greatest injustice. This transaction was entirely to help the Kangba people...

Many people in the Song Dynasty who heard Cai Boyi's roar were speechless, while those who understood the Chinese language among the Kangba people had already told others about Cai Boyi's words.

Ren Qingdong found that he could not refute Cai Boyi's words at all. It was not that he did not know the difficulties of Shu Road. He had the honor of going to the Song Dynasty and also saw Shu Road that was difficult to climb Qing.

But he didn't know that the road to enter Sichuan by the Song Dynasty had long changed. Now there are four roads to enter Sichuan, which is far from the Taurus Road guarded by a sword gate before.

Sichuan has a special geographical location. It is surrounded by mountains, steep mountains, high peaks and dangerous roads. If you want to enter Sichuan, you have to pay a difficult price, which also makes Jianmen and the Taurus Road it guards the top priority.

But this will also cause great instability. Once the Sword Sect is lost, the Song Dynasty will lose the entire Chengdu Prefecture!

This is something that Zhao Zhen would never accept. Ten years ago, a declining scholar presented a poem to the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture Zhang Yi, "Burn the Broken Sword Gate and burn the plank road, and the West River is different from the world." Although Zhao Zhen laughed out, it also came out of the key point of Chengdu Prefecture.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen spent a huge amount of money to repair the other three declining ancient roads. The Yinping Road in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was founded in the late Qin Dynasty, and the Micang Ancient Road in the Han Dynasty, and the lychee road built in the Tang Dynasty so that his concubines could eat lychees.

These three ancient roads have declined in the Song Dynasty. People are like this. Everyone will choose the best road to take. The more people they walk, the stronger the road will be, and the more repairs will be made. When fewer people walk, no one will care about it and eventually gradually decline.

But from the perspective of military, political and economic, the more roads to enter Sichuan, the better. With more merchants, more conveniences of the people, the more frequent and common goods entering and leaving, which reduces costs and benefits the people of Chengdu Prefecture.

When Zhao Zhen repaired the ancient road, merchants in Shu donated money and materials, and the people were recruiting it very smoothly. However, even so, the cost of building these three ancient roads was still heavy. Even if gunpowder could open up mountains and crack stones, these ancient roads still needed manpower to dig and filled with life.

Cai Boyi was right. No less than a thousand people died when the Song Dynasty built these ancient roads! These people were all men from Shu. They used their lives to pave the roads to the outside world.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty had such a law that anyone who destroyed and damaged the road to Sichuan would be punished with third-class punishment!

It is obvious that it is not necessary to count these costs on Kangba Rao, but who doesn’t let Kangba people know the details? Trade is sometimes the process of making the other party pay the bill......

Cai Boqi knew that he could deceive Ren Qingdong for a while, but he could not deceive him for a lifetime. Sooner or later, the truth would be revealed and he would lose the trust of Kangba Rao.

Tian Kuang once said that the Kangba people were born warriors and businessmen. Even when the news was not equal, they still cleverly bargained in the transaction.

Moreover, each method of breaking is adopted. As long as one merchant cannot withstand the pressure and reduce the price, it means that all merchants will lower the price, because all Kangba people will go to the merchant to buy and sell goods, and even if the merchants sell them all, they will not want to buy and sell goods to the merchants with higher prices.

This is a spirit of grouping and a tacit understanding that is rare in the market. Even if you sacrifice your own interests, you will not allow the other party to earn more price difference.

The shrewd methods made Cai Boyi amazed, especially the unity of Kangba Rao made Cai Boyi amazed. This was almost invisible in the Song Dynasty. Often, after one party lowered the price, the other party would lower the price to compete for more customers.

After a slightly bitter smile, Cai Boqi said to Renqing: "I didn't expect that Kangba people are not only children, but also smart merchants. Since that's the case, I will show my greatest sincerity!"

When Zhao Zhen's secret order was taken out from Cai Boyi's arms, a bright light burst out from Ren Qingdong's eyes. He had already guessed that this special official had extraordinary significance.

Sure enough, he guessed it right. This shrewd official, like a merchant, came with the will of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!

This also proves another guess of his own. The Song Dynasty needs Kangba people and hopes to get Kangbarao's help. In this way, Kangbarao's status and life will undergo a reversal change!
