I read the wrong time, the update is ten minutes late.
————————————————————————————————————————
There are many things going on in modern times, and the debate about the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Weishui River has reached a fever pitch.
The cabinet master happily watched the content of the debate every day.
In fact, most of the planners of the film and television companies no longer care about this. The desired effect has been achieved, and now it is their favorite thing to do, the talent show. It is about the talent show of actors.
TV stations like such a hot topic, and several of them took the initiative to contact us.
Things that even Ye Qiu Shuang was too lazy to care about, Li Yuanxing would not care about anymore. Li Yuanxing was naturally more concerned about Datang at this time, and the other was the other half of the time machine.
624 AD. Then the time machine should have been integrated with someone in the Tang Dynasty.
But who is this person?
After warning Ye Qiu Shuang that he must pay attention to the room, especially the area where he passed through, not to place anything, and Ye Qiu Shuang himself tried not to go near it at night, Li Yuanxing returned to Datang with four boxes.
The time machine has been upgraded, but the space that can be taken away during time travel is still so large. There is only more than a ton of spring corn seeds!
Li Yuanxing has left Datang for a day and a night. As for the people guarding the tent, they have fulfilled their duties faithfully. No one is allowed to approach the tent without Li Yuanxing's order from inside the tent.
It wasn't until Li Yuanxing came out that the sergeants in charge of security relaxed.
"His Highness was not here yesterday. Li Chang went back to Chang'an City and rushed back last night. Lu Chengqing also came and they have been waiting. The three ladies also arrived yesterday and were arranged at the meeting of the Brocade Silk Merchants Association on the west side of the river.
The leader is also here, also on the west side, a little more remote!" When Lao Lang saw Li Yuanxing coming back, he reported on the fact that Li Yuanxing was not around that day.
Li Yuanxing nodded: "Li Chang said there is something urgent?"
"It's nothing urgent, it's just daily matters. But I heard that Mr. Wei sent a report to Your Majesty, saying that the noble descendants of Chang'an intend to serve Your Majesty, and asked for an opportunity to show off their martial arts."
After listening to Lao Lang's report, Li Yuanxing was a little puzzled: "This kind of thing should be clamored by the generals!"
"Master Wei is General Tiance's Mansion Chief Shi!" Lao Lang added next to him.
Li Yuanxing understood that Wei Zheng really wanted to stand up for the generals at this time if he wanted to be a good official.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing asked again: "How will Chang'an react to this great general?"
"No response!" Lao Lang replied truthfully.
"No reaction is the biggest reaction. It's terrible!" Li Yuanxing sighed and glanced at the old wolf: "There is always calm before the storm, but I don't know who will be the first to deal with me. Don't think that the Lu, Wang, and Cui families
If you marry your daughter to me, you will become a family member with me, they just didn't find the opportunity."
Halfway through Li Yuanxing's words, Lao Lang boldly interrupted: "Lao Lang didn't hear anything. Lao Lang just knew who His Highness wanted to kill, so Lao Lang went to kill him!"
Hahaha!
Li Yuanxing laughed loudly, Lao Lang was really straightforward. He knew that getting involved in this kind of trouble would be a big trouble in itself.
"Go, ask Li Huishou to come see me. Let the three girls prepare. I will have dinner with them at noon, and we will talk about the rest in the afternoon. By the way, tell Li Chang that I want to know more about the Turks and divide them in depth.
Turks, let him prepare!" After Li Yuanxing said that, he turned and returned to his tent.
Qiuxiang has already prepared breakfast and a set of clothes that Li Yuanxing needs to wear.
Li Yuanxing liked the Tang Dynasty, but he hated these very formal robes and did not want to wear them. He was really afraid of the censors. Although the censors had not caused trouble to Li Yuanxing, Li Yuanxing actually saw it on TV in later generations.
The horror of the censors, especially Wei Heizi's death remonstrance, is terrifying to think about!
When we arrived at the reception tent, Li Huishou from the Brocade Silk Merchant Association was already waiting in the tent, just below the entrance door.
"Li Huishou's business has been very good recently!" Li Yuanxing took the initiative to say hello.
The Tang Dynasty did not like to kneel down, unless there was a major event or a special event. After bowing, the leader of Li Hui said: "The Chamber of Commerce made two deals yesterday. Two Hu merchants who have been in Chang'an for nearly a month purchased cotton silk.
Hundreds of pieces. The villain checked the transaction records of these two Hu merchants last year. In the past, there were as many as ten thousand pieces of silk cutting.
(Note: Mian Ling is a high-end silk fabric, and silk cutting is an intermediate silk fabric!)
Li Yuanxing had already sat down and gently waved his hand to indicate that Li Huishou should also sit down: "Continue talking!"
"Many trading houses have begun to organize caravans and hire guards. Now those bankrupt Hu merchants have become hot commodities, and the monthly payment given to them is very high. Everyone is preparing to go west to Daqin to earn profits from this silk!"
When Li Huishou said this, he was actually trying to resolve the conflict. The big silk merchants didn't care about holding down the goods for a year and a half, but the small ones didn't dare. So they had to ship, no matter how.
"For the first caravan, you tell the people in the trading company to take some from each house and form a caravan. When everyone arrives in a foreign country, they will be a family and will be open to the outside world. This is the first time, if something goes wrong,
The losses are also less. Don’t be greedy, silk is a long-term benefit!”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Huishou stood up again and saluted.
Li Yuanxing gestured to sit down and talk, and Li Huishou said again: "I have an account, I dare you to calculate it for the prince!"
"Calculate!"
"According to the records I got from Hu Shang, they purchased silk cuttings from Chang'an last year, and the price was about three guans per horse. Before leaving Datang, the money they had to pay at various checkpoints was four guans per horse. And along the way,
, the total cost of each small country is a hundred dollars, and this does not include shipping costs. Therefore, the cost is huge, and the price of selling it to Daqin is naturally higher. Moreover, this journey is extremely risky, and people will die if they are not careful.
The goods are destroyed!"
Li Yuanxing nodded slightly. This value may be higher. There are robbers, evil businessmen and other more troubles on the road. After all, this place is thousands of miles away from Rome!
"You should organize a caravan and try to go there first. There should be more people and stronger guards. Everyone should be tied together. Don't divide the goods among others. Share your share and divide it among the members. If one loses, everyone will suffer, and everyone will be tolerated.
In this way, everyone will contribute. For those small countries on the road, let me think about the tariffs of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, hum!"
Li Yuanxing's attitude was a bit arrogant in Li Hui's eyes.
There is a detailed figure that Li Huishou did not dare to say, that is, if he wants to pass through ** safely, it is already a very common number to leave one out of ten horses. There are also three out of twenty, and two out of ten.
Proportion.
It can be said that when the silk sold by Hu merchants from Chang'an reached Rome, it would be good if only one out of ten silks could be left behind.
"Your Highness, the merchants of Goryeo and Japan are asking for a price reduction for them. Because they are close to each other, the highest price for silk in their own countries is not as high as our current shipping price. They can't bear the price of eighty guan of silk cut."
"You have to endure it if you can't bear it. You can endure it for another three months at most, and I will give you an explanation!"
Li Yuanxing finally figured it out. This group of businessmen almost went crazy when they heard about the thousand-fold profit, but they persisted for only a few days. In less than a month, some people were shaken.
However, Li Yuanxing can also understand.
King Qin's promise still carries weight. Naturally, Li Huishou did not dare to say anything more. He would go back to appease the various trading houses. He also began to organize a caravan to travel far away, recruiting guards and guides.
Li Huishou has calculated that, not to mention leaving one out of ten horses, but one out of twenty. They also have huge profits, not to mention that they can bring strange goods from far away back to the Tang Dynasty, which can make another fortune.
.Especially for valuable goods such as gems, glass, gold and silver, it is still possible to guarantee a profit of fifty times every time.
Being able to meet King Qin directly was already a great honor for Li Huishou, and with King Qin's promise, he naturally left with satisfaction.
Li Yuanxing sat there and began to reflect.
Is it because I am too impatient and ignore the laws of the market?
No, Hu merchants can't afford to wait. They will try their best to buy goods. If there is no silk, other goods will be lost even if they are brought back to Rome. What's more, there are many Hu merchants who don't have to travel that far, such as Xinjiang in later generations.
, Central Asia, West Asia and other places are also their main sales routes.
The Turks are really a big harm.
One out of ten is drawn, and this is just the toll.
If every small country dared to collect tolls like this, wouldn't all the Tang Dynasty's money fall into their pockets?
It seems that Datang is still not strong enough.
When Li Yuanxing was sitting on the chair and thinking, Old Wolf came in and stood at the bottom. It wasn't until Li Yuanxing raised his head that Old Wolf spoke: "Your Highness, General Li Ji asked someone to send a message. Changle King Li Youliang made a fuss and he didn't dare to come.
We, the Prince of Qin, asked General Yuchi to give him an explanation at the Ministry of War, and dared to break his slave's legs and asked General Yuchi to apologize in his house!"
"Ha!" Li Yuanxing was surprised.
It seems that these people are already taking sides. The Changle King is on the side of the Li family in Longxi, and he is on the side of the emerging nobles. This time is not just a war of words, but whether to react now or wait until after the war.
.
After Lao Lang finished talking about this matter, he added: "Your Highness, General Li Ji will set off tomorrow."
"How are we going to leave?" Li Yuanxing asked, whether he meant whether the army would set off on time or whether it would set off from Chang'an City with great fanfare.
"What Li Shangshu means is that there is no need to know everything in the city!" The Li Shangshu that Lao Lang mentioned refers to Li Jing.
Li Yuanxing stood up: "Old Wolf, tell General Li that I will see him off tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Old Wolf bowed out respectfully.
Chunlan came in at this time and reported that Li Yuanxing's lunch was ready. Misses Lu, Wang, and Cui were already waiting for Li Yuanxing to pass.
