Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 236 The Imperial Master Can Create Dreams 9

Among the six countries here, except for the Kingdom of Women and Jinping Kingdom, the other four countries are Daxing Kingdom, Lejing Kingdom, Junyue Kingdom, and Luoya Kingdom.

Zhang Xintong first went to Daxing Kingdom, which was the closest to the Kingdom of Women. Although there was no trade between the two countries, they could enter each other.

If she wanted to open up a trade route, she couldn't just look for an ordinary petty official; she had to find someone who had a say. Zhang Xintong didn't rush to find someone, but first found an inn in the city to stay in while she gathered some information.

Zhang Xintong intended to use food to pave the way. The Daughter Kingdom, with its advanced farming techniques, was no longer short of food. Zhang Xintong had been growing food in her space, and after the Daughter Kingdom no longer needed it, she stored it in her space warehouse. Because the flow rate in the land area was ten times faster than outside, and the land was extremely fertile and vast, the warehouse was already full of food.

The Kingdom of Women will not be afraid of running out of food. Because of its advanced farming technology, there will be more food than can be eaten every year. The Kingdom of Women can sell the extra food to the other four countries and exchange it for other things the Kingdom of Women needs, achieving multiple goals at one stroke.

The people of Daxing Kingdom didn't have a good life. Aside from food, there were few business opportunities here. Only when trade routes opened up, the economy developed, and people's lives improved could they start making money by engaging in other businesses.

Zhang Xintong briefly understood the situation of Daxing State. If she wanted to sign a trade agreement with the emperor, she still had to go through the Minister of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the country's grain, and the Minister of Revenue was the one who was most worried about the lack of grain.

Zhang Xintong did not go to the Minister of Revenue. She had no power here and the Minister of Revenue would not see her at all. Zhang Xintong wanted to fish and let the Minister of Revenue come to her.

Zhang Xintong packed each kind of food into a small bag and went to the largest food store in the city.

"Boss, I have a large quantity of grain for sale. It's better quality and cheaper than the grain in your store. Do you want some?"

Being able to run the largest grain shop in the capital of Daxing, Zhang Xintong didn't believe that there was no one behind the shop. After finishing a business deal with the owner of the grain shop, someone would always come to her.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Xintong. The material of the woman's clothes was good, and she was not someone who was short of money; she looked very noble, and she was not an ordinary person; the woman was so beautiful that it was impossible to ignore her presence.

"How much food do you have, young lady? Did you bring any samples?"

Zhang Xintong handed the packed grain samples to the shopkeeper

"Boss, the food samples are all here, take a look. As for how much there is, it depends on how much you want."

The shopkeeper took the grain sample and thought to himself: What a big tone! Do you have as much as I want?

The shopkeeper took the grain samples in his palm and looked at them. All the grain samples were top quality.

"Is all the food in the girl's hand of this quality?"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. You can check the goods. If there is anything different, I will give it to you for free."

"Our grain shop wants to buy 10 dan. Do you have any?"

"Yes, we can deliver it outside the city after noon."

Seeing Zhang Xintong show no hesitation, the shopkeeper realized that 10 dan of grain wasn't a lot for her, and he took her seriously. He had to befriend her. Grain was so precious, sometimes even money couldn't buy it. He had to inform his boss immediately.

"Girl, how do you calculate the price of food?"

Zhang Xintong smiled

"The shopkeeper has noticed that the grain here is of good quality, but I won't raise the price. I'll just keep it the same as the purchase price from your previous store."

The shopkeeper handed Zhang Xintong a purchase order with the grain prices clearly written on it, with no hidden details.

"Miss, you're straightforward. If the price is acceptable to you, where can we meet outside the city to hand over the food after noon?"

Zhang Xintong had inquired about the grain prices in Daxingguo in the past few days. The prices on paper were fair, so she didn't hesitate.

"There's a hillside three miles outside the city. The handover will take place there. Boss, bring enough silver and money. Remember to bring plenty of people and ox carts to carry the food. No one else will appear on my side except me, and there's no one to help carry the food."

"Don't worry, young lady. We will move the food ourselves and won't trouble you."

After the deal was settled, Zhang Xintong went out of the city and waited.

On this side, the shopkeeper quickly found the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This grain shop was opened by the Ministry of Revenue to control the grain prices in the city and prevent them from skyrocketing when there was a shortage of food.

When the Minister of Revenue heard what the shopkeeper said, he knew that he could not make the decision on this matter, so he quickly reported it to the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue thought for a moment and ordered the Assistant Minister of Revenue to

"When we go to get the food at noon, you take the people with you. If the food is really good and the quantity is sufficient, after you hand over the food, invite the people over to me. Remember, invite, not capture."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

The Minister of Revenue went with the shopkeeper to the city to receive the grain. The shopkeeper carefully examined the grain and found it to be of high quality. It was a great bargain to buy such quality at such a high price.

After handing over the grain, Zhang Xintong also received a stack of banknotes. The amount matched, so Zhang Xintong put it in her arms.

After the grain was handed over, the Minister of Revenue came forward.

"Miss, I'm the Minister of Revenue. Our Lord would like to see you and buy some more food from you. Would you mind coming with me?"

Zhang Xintong hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, having thought she'd have to wait a few more days. Since they were already here, of course she had to go.

"You are too polite, my Lord. I will follow you now."

Zhang Xintong soon met the Minister of Revenue, a man in his forties. Zhang Xintong was the empress of a country and had a strong aura, so she did not greet him.

The Minister of Revenue knew that Zhang Xintong was not an ordinary person.

"How much grain do you have left, young lady? Our Ministry of Revenue wants to buy it all."

Zhang Xintong shook her head

"Sir Shangshu, I have too much grain. I can't sell it all to you at once. We can sign a supply agreement and deliver goods to you at regular intervals."

"How does the girl have so much food?"

"It's shipped from the Kingdom of Women. There's more food there."

The Minister of Revenue seemed to be thinking deeply.

"Countries cannot trade with each other, do you know that, young lady?"

Zhang Xintong smiled

"Sir, are you going to insist on not opening up trade and let the people starve?"

The Minister of Revenue was not a conservative person. He thought for a while and said

"Young lady, can you come again tomorrow? I will report to His Majesty tomorrow and make a decision."

Zhang Xintong didn't want to waste time and directly told the purpose of coming to Daxingguo

"Yes, Your Excellency. I have an imperial decree from the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters. If the Emperor of your country agrees, we can sign a treaty of friendly trade. Food will not be a problem in the future."

The Minister of Revenue looked at Zhang Xintong in astonishment. After connecting the dots between the previous and subsequent events, he realized that this person was sent by the Queen of the Kingdom of Women for the sole purpose of trading with their country.

"Okay, I'll report to His Majesty tomorrow and we'll discuss it again."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency."

An hour had passed when Zhang Xintong left the Ministry of Revenue. She had a stack of banknotes in her arms, which would be a waste if she didn't use them. Zhang Xintong planned to buy some local specialties of Daxing Kingdom to take back.
