"Good thing?" Liu Huaixu said in confusion.
"Yes, do you trade frequently with the Houyuan Tartars now?" Lin Xiqi asked.
Liu Huaixu shook her head and said, "Not many, most of us still trade with the Western Regions. Now the business roads in the Western Regions are relatively stable and are basically safe. There are still great risks in the transaction process of the Houyuan Tartars. The Tartars often robbed the caravans. Therefore, our business names rarely trade with the Houyuan Tartars. Even if they trade, they will not go deep into Houyuan. They will only be at the agreed location near the border, and the transaction volume is not large."
Lin Xiqi nodded.
The Tatars of the Later Yuan Dynasty were plundering and it was not that easy to get them to pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time.
Especially when you see exquisite good things, why not grab them?
"I think you can increase the transaction with the Tartars." Lin Xiqi said, "It is best to trade tea silk and other things that the upper-class figures of the Later Yuan Tartars like in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses on the Tartars."
Liu Huaixu felt aroused in her heart and said, "Sir, do you want to be a yin Tartar?"
"Yin Tartar?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"Isn't it?" Liu Huaixu said, "For large quantities of cattle and sheep from the Tartars, if the Tartars encounter snow disasters, many people will probably starve to death. In this way, many Tartars' men will be eliminated without war."
Lin Xiqi's eyes lit up and said, "Why didn't I expect it?"
"Huh?" Liu Huaixu asked in confusion, "Isn't that what sir?"
"I just thought that the upper class figures of the Houyuan Tartars spent money like soil and loved the exquisite silk and porcelain of the Central Plains. As long as these luxurious and enjoyable things are transported over, the Tatar nobles will definitely buy them in large quantities, and the cattle, sheep, horses and fur will be sold to us at a low price, so that we can make a lot of money from it." Lin Xiqi said, "I just thought that I was making benefits from the Tartars, but not as far as you thought."
"So, am I reminding the adults?" Liu Huaixu covered her mouth and smiled.
"Yes, you reminded me." Lin Xiqi said excitedly.
"There is still a problem." Liu Huaixu said.
"What's the problem?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"Just as I said just now, many caravans in Daxia will be robbed by the Tartars after entering the desert grassland." Liu Huaixu said, "Don't say that you make money, you will lose money." Liu Huaixu said.
"You can use any means." Lin Xiqi said.
"Any means?" Liu Huaixu said in contemplation.
"There is nothing to be afraid of when dealing with the Houyuan Tatars." Lin Xiqi said, "The officials and tribe leaders of the Houyuan Tatars should try their best to buy them. They can also cultivate their own power in the Houyuan Tatars and sell these things through them. In fact, many businesses in Daxia do the same. The collusion between officials and businessmen is just because they are in Daxia, and you just don't want to do it."
Liu Huaixu was silent, of course she knew this.
Many businesses in the Central Plains colluded with government officials in the local or several places. They controlled the local businesses and did not allow foreign traders to enter. Traders in other places could only sell goods to them to gain more benefits.
"I understand." Liu Huaixu nodded.
What she did in Daxia was quite subtle, such as giving tolls, but she did not occupy a state and a county like those people.
With Lin Xiqi's current power, she can completely use the help of monopolizing the transactions in Liangzhou.
But she didn't do that, it was not her style.
For the Hou Yuan Tartars, it was a bit inappropriate to do this himself.
These businesses have no good way to plunder the Tartars. Even if they have escorts, it is not very safe. Those who can control the Tartars still have to find Tartar officials.
"If it can be successful, perhaps after several years, the power of the Later Yuan Tartars will be at least weakened a lot, which is a great thing for our Liangzhou and the people of the border states." Lin Xiqi said.
"Not necessarily, it may also arouse the predatory habits of the Tartars even more." Liu Huaixu said, "In order to maintain their enjoyment, they can do anything."
"But there will be huge conflicts within the Tartars." Lin Xiqi said, "The nobles of the Tartars will definitely exploit the tribal herders below. At that time, the people below will starve to death and freeze to death. Even if they are mobilized, how many people can they mobilize? Maybe some people will rebel."
"Okay, overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." Liu Huaixu said, "In order to achieve the goals that adults think as soon as possible, relying solely on the 'Sifang Business' company may not be enough. I need to join forces with some other business names."
"You can do this matter as you can. These businesses can make money and will not be moved." Lin Xiqi smiled, "Besides, it is easier to do things if there are too many people."
Lin Xiqi knew very well that these businesses would never miss such an opportunity.
As long as they support Liangzhou and let them have no worries, they will definitely develop the business in Houyuan.
The transaction with Houyuan actually makes a lot of profits. For example, a piece of silk in the Central Plains can reach Houyuan at least ten times or even dozens of times.
The nobles of the Houyuan Tartars still could not refuse these extravagant and exquisite things.
This is also true that even though they know that they will be robbed, there will be a few caravans who will risk trading with the Houyuan Tartars.
The same was true for those caravans to go to the Western Regions back then, and the Western Regions were also full of risks.
There are huge business opportunities only in the risk.
"Cats and sheep may be good to trade, but horses and Tartars still value them very much, so they don't know how to trade." Liu Huaixu said.
There are still a shortage of horses in Daxia, and most of the horse breeds are not as good as those of the Tartars. When the two sides fought, the Tartars' horses gained the upper hand.
In addition, the Tartars grew up on horseback and were skilled in riding and shooting, which was incomparable to the officers and soldiers of the Great Xia.
If you can get a Tartar horse, it will strengthen yourself and weaken your opponent.
"Take it slow." Lin Xiqi said, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. At that time, these Tartar officials just don't want to sell horses."
"That's right." Liu Huaixu nodded.
"Do you have anything else?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"I just came from Sister Yushu," said Liu Huaixu.
Hearing this, Lin Xiqi's face changed slightly and said, "Why didn't that girl tell you all, right?"
"Don't worry, she just told me that I won't reveal it. I know it's related to your life." Liu Huaixu said.
Lin Xiqi knew that they had a good relationship, and they had a lot of time, and had various information and secrets.
When Liu Huaixu arrived at Sun Yushu, Sun Yushu would definitely tell her about her going to the hinterland of the Tartars.
"I know you have decided, so there will be no change." Liu Huaixu said, "I am not able to prepare a hidden weapon for you like Sister Yushu. I just hope you can be careful and come back safely."
"Don't worry." Lin Xiqi smiled, "There are so many people in Liangzhou who have to wait for me, and I will definitely be careful. You just need to manage the business, which will be the greatest help to me."
"You don't have to worry about the business name," said Liu Huaixu.
"That's good." Lin Xiqi stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Huaixu.
Liu Huaixu exclaimed, and Lin Xiqi pulled her body into her arms.
"Don't." Liu Huaixu pushed her resistantly.
Lin Xiqi sat on the chair, then hugged Liu Huaixu and pressed him on his legs.
