The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1019 Shock

Henry stammered in the language of the Western Chu Kingdom, "Our...our prince said that this little mirror of yours is worth...worth eight...eight taels of gold."

He lowered his head after speaking, feeling guilty even about what he had said. He knew that the small mirrors they had brought were overpriced; not only were the mirrors not very clear, but the frames were also made of wood.

The blond men were also embarrassed, but fortunately they hadn't spoken up themselves, and they didn't know what Henry had said. After Henry finished speaking, their eyes were all on Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, their eyes full of anticipation.

Ouyang Yunyao already knew they wanted to buy the small mirror, and she didn't intend to sell it to them at a high price. However, at this moment, she didn't want to tell them the price, and even wanted to whet their appetite. So she deliberately said:

"Your Highness, why don't you first tell us how our little mirror compares to yours? Isn't your offer too low?"

Henry quickly translated Ouyang Yunyao's words to Jolief and the others. Jolief's cheeks flushed red instantly, his previous arrogance vanished, and he looked quite embarrassed.

Seeing this, Charles, who was standing beside him, quickly smoothed things over, saying sincerely, "Your Highness, Princess Jing, your country's small mirrors are indeed far superior to ours."

We sincerely want to purchase a batch from you to sell back on our continent of Luoba. The eight taels of gold we mentioned is our sincere offer.

Ouyang Yunyao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled. Ha! These people from the Luoba Continent are quite honest. She turned and briefly translated Charles's words to Chu Chenjing, Han Fengli, and the others.

These words stunned the Western Chu people present. Han Fengli's mouth dropped open, and after a long while, he lowered his voice and said to Chu Chenjing beside him:

"Ah Jing, the little princess only sells this small mirror in our shop for thirty taels of silver!" Then, feigning pain, he added, "I'll go change the price tag right away!"

His mannerisms almost made Ouyang Yunyao, who was sitting on the other side of Chu Chenjing, burst out laughing. Chu Chenjing also twitched his lips at his pretentious act.

Suppressing a laugh, Ouyang Yunyao suddenly remembered a question: Did the Luoba Continent only use gold for trade? Why did they insist on using gold for all their transactions? Did they have a lot of gold on their continent?

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and looked at Henry, asking, "Mr. Henry, do you usually use gold to buy things on the continent of Loba?"

Henry didn't translate this to his men, and quickly waved his hand, explaining in the language of the Western Chu Kingdom, "No, no! We use silver and copper coins daily, gold is extremely scarce, where would we get so much to trade?"

“If that’s the case,” Ouyang Yunyao’s gaze turned cold as she swept over the people in front of her, “why do you insist on using gold to trade with us?”

Henry dared not delay and quickly translated these words to his companions. Then he said urgently, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Your Highness the Princess, we have no ill intentions! We did not do it on purpose."

"The reason we're considering using gold is that, after the transaction, besides purchasing some of your silk to take back, the remaining amount, if paid in silver, would be too heavy for our ships to bear.

Henry's explanation made them realize the truth of the matter, and they nodded in understanding. It made sense.

Ouyang Yunyao suddenly remembered something and changed the subject: "Mr. Henry, I would like to ask, is there only one country on your continent of Luoba, or are there several countries?"

They had been so busy being curious about their journey across the ocean that they had forgotten to ask about the situation on the continent of Loba.

Henry blinked at Ouyang Yunyao after hearing her words. He was a little stunned, clearly not expecting the princess to ask this question.

He paused for a moment and then answered truthfully: "On our continent of Loba, there are five kingdoms and two duchies. The largest of them is our Kingdom of Lorian, and the others are the Kingdoms of Riesia, Augustus, Karaya, and Soria, as well as the two duchies of Sturmgard and Serin."

He spoke haltingly in the Western Chu language, interspersed with a string of unfamiliar country names in Loba, leaving Chu Chenjing, Han Fengli, and the others bewildered. They exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what kind of continent this was. Why were there kingdoms and duchies? They only noticed that these blond men were from the Kingdom of Lorian.

Seeing their confused expressions, Ouyang Yunyao immediately explained to Chu Chenjing and the others: "Their kingdoms and duchies are just like the relationship between Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang on our Yuzhou Continent."

After Ouyang Yunyao's analogy, they all understood instantly.

Chu Chenjing nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, are there any wars between the kingdoms on your continent right now?"

Henry translated Chu Chenjing's words to Jollif and the others in a string of gibberish. Prince Jollif pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

Wars and conflicts frequently occur between the kingdoms of our continent of Loba. Right now, the Kingdom of Augustus and the Kingdom of Calaya are still at war!

Before Henry could translate, Ouyang Yunyao translated Prince Joliv's words to Chu Chenjing. Chu Chenjing nodded and exchanged a glance with Ouyang Yunyao.

Both of them understood that, like their Yuzhou Continent, the Luoba Continent was constantly at war with various countries, so there was no need to worry about them coming to attack the Yuzhou Continent for the time being.

After Chu Chenjing, Ouyang Yunyao, and Han Fengli discussed the matter in hushed tones, Chu Chenjing looked up at the blond men opposite him and said:

"Your Highness, and gentlemen, I am very pleased to meet you today. We warmly welcome you to trade with my Western Chu Kingdom."

"But discussing trade today is far too hasty. Why don't you spend the next few days exploring Kyoto and visiting our shops to see the goods in person? Then we can sit down and discuss things further."

Upon hearing Prince Jing's words, Henry quickly translated Chu Chenjing's words to the people from his country. Prince Joliv nodded repeatedly, his previous arrogance vanished, and said repeatedly, "Good, good!"

Having witnessed firsthand that the goods of the Western Chu Kingdom were superior to theirs, he truly realized that there were indeed powerful nations on the Yuzhou Continent, and he dared not underestimate them any longer.

Chu Chenjing continued, "Your Highness Prince Joliv, if you wish, you may also stay at our country's inn." Chu Chenjing added, "If you have any needs in the future, and are ready to discuss trade with us, you are welcome to come to me."

After Henry translated his words, Jollif stood up excitedly, “That’s wonderful! Your Highness, we would love to stay at your esteemed inn! Thank you so much!”

Ouyang Yunyao translated Prince Joliv's words into Chu Chenjing's ear, and Chu Chenjing nodded: "In that case! Your Highness, you should go back to the inn to pack your things first, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up and take you to the post station later!"
