Chapter 263 Free Trade
"Is everything you said true?"
Lukes was skeptical.
Jiang Zuo said: "If you hesitate again, forget it."
Lux said quickly: "I'll ask them to bring all the things over now."
After saying this, he told the matter to his superiors again.
"You want to do business with them?"
Chen Xiu asked with a frown.
After all, those barbarians were so arrogant just now, and not teaching them a lesson was already a courtesy. Now Jiang Zuo wants to cooperate with them, wouldn't that only encourage their arrogance?
Jiang Zuo said indifferently: "Maybe they really have what I want."
After a while, the group of foreigners finally brought a lot of things from the ship.
One of the wooden barrels attracted Jiang Zuo's attention.
After seeing the thing on the wooden barrel, Jiang Zuo's eyes lit up.
He walked forward and took the contents.
The thing in Jiang Zuo's hand at this moment was not unfamiliar to him at all.
It's a sweet potato.
"what is this?"
Chen Xiu walked forward and asked.
Jiang Zuo said: "This is called sweet potato, it is definitely a good thing."
Chen Xiu took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked, "What's so special about it?"
Jiang Zuo explained: "This thing is easy to grow, has a high yield, and is also high in nutrients. It's a good thing."
There is a native crop called black potato in Yan State, but because it tastes bad and has low sugar content, few people grow it.
If this sweet potato can be promoted to all parts of the country, it will definitely solve the world's famine problem.
Although the areas under the governance of Jiangzuo are no longer worried about food, there are still so many people in the world who are hungry. If the grain output can be greatly increased, there will be a population growth.
Jiang Zuo suddenly felt a little excited, and then he rummaged through the pile of things and found another good thing.
It's some red peppers.
He picked up one of them and looked at it carefully.
"This again?"
Chen Xiu had never seen these things before.
“This is called chili.”
Jiangzuo Road.
"What is it?"
Chen Xiu didn't understand.
"Food." Jiang Zuo said, "It's edible. Do you want to try it?"
With some doubts, Song Gaolang took the lead and expressed his intention to give it a try.
"Hiss! My mouth is numb!"
Song Gaolang had just eaten one when he started screaming from the spiciness.
"Is this thing really edible?"
Song Gaolang repeatedly spat out what was in his mouth and asked others for water.
"That's what it tastes like."
Jiang Zuo also took a small taste.
Chen Xiu was also slightly puzzled. He picked up a chili pepper, took a small bite, and chewed it gently.
A strange taste entered his mouth, but Chen Xiu did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he thought it was quite good. He took another bite and nodded, "It is indeed a novelty."
"We can bring these things to other places and plant them, so as to increase the diet of our Yan people."
Jiang Zuo said.
While they were chatting, the group of foreigners were also talking.
This group of outsiders failed to make a threat just now, and they still feel a little unconvinced.
Seeing that Jiang Zuo and the others were very interested in these foods, the group of foreigners became a little more cautious.
At this time, Lux stepped forward and said to Jiang Zuo: "Our captain said that these are the treasures on our ship, and you need to bring more things in exchange."
"Treasure? Do you think I'm ignorant?"
Jiang Zuo laughed on the spot.
These crops originated from South America, and they may have brought them here without ever thinking of trading them with others.
Now that Jiang Zuo is interested in these crops, these foreigners are asking for exorbitant prices.
"I've seen this thing before. Don't think we don't have experience."
Jiang Zuo said with disdain.
Seeing that their little tricks were exposed, Lux had no choice but to say, "If you want these things, then exchange them for money."
Lux had just witnessed the conversation between Jiang Zuo and Chen Xiu, and knew that Jiang Zuo was very interested in these crops, so he wanted to take this opportunity to gain more benefits.
Jiang Zuo turned around and told Master Guo, "Master, go to the store and bring a truckload of goods over so that these foreigners can see the market."
"Yes, sir." Master Guo responded and left.
Lukes also picked up a sweet potato and said, "Is it possible that Yan State doesn't have these foods?"
Jiang Zuo said: "Yes, and no."
Lux's light blue eyes were filled with confusion: "So is it there or not?"
Jiang Zuo said: "That's not important. What's important is that if you bring more of these goodies over, we can trade with you."
"trading?"
Luke was a little confused.
At this time, Jiang Zuo asked again: "When will your fleet go to South America again? No, it should be that South Oz."
"We will go."
Luke nodded.
"If possible, please help me find a thing called potato. No, you shouldn't call it potato, that is, it is yellow on the outside and grows in the ground."
Jiang Zuo described.
The yield of potatoes is even higher than that of sweet potatoes, and they can be eaten as a staple food, while sweet potatoes are a little inferior.
Lux seemed to understand and nodded, "I'll try it."
Jiang Zuo added: "Also, if there are any new and interesting things in your South Oz Continent, you can bring them to us."
Lux nodded again and said, "No problem, as long as you are willing to trade the porcelain and tea with us, everything will be negotiable."
The main purpose of their fleet coming to the East was to engage in these trades.
Jiang Zuo added: "Don't bring those animals here, so as to avoid causing species invasion to our Yan State."
"Master Jiang, what is species invasion?"
Song Gaolang asked curiously.
Jiang Zuo said: "They are creatures that did not originally belong to our Yan State. After coming to Yan State, they grow recklessly. There is absolutely no natural enemy that can stop them."
"Oh... I understand." Song Gaolang said, "Then these foreigners in front of us must also be considered an invasive species."
"Well, that's right."
Jiang Zuo whispered.
At this moment at the port, people on both sides were talking about something.
On the foreign side, there were two different voices. One group insisted on going ashore to rest and wanted to have in-depth exchanges with the Yan people.
The other faction, fearing the more advanced weapons in the hands of the Yan State, did not dare to act rashly and felt that returning to the ship was the safest place.
A group of people said that at this time, Master Guo and his group had already arrived at the port with the goods.
Looking at the car full of treasures, the foreigners' eyes were filled with envy.
You know, if they could bring these porcelain, tea and silk back to the West, they would make huge profits.
"Can these things be exchanged for your supplies?"
Jiang Zuo asked with a smile.
Without the captain's instructions, Lux nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course."
Hearing this reply, Jiang Zuo smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and said: "Then give me the money."
