A piece of silk. The military relatives who came from Chang'an naturally knew about it.
This is second-grade silk, that is, the next three categories.
The silk of the Tang Dynasty is divided into weaves, which is the number of weaves in one inch. This is the quality evaluation of the original fabric, then the flatness, then the color comparison, and finally the overall texture.
This number of weaves is already a thin weave.
Look at the military uniform that my man is wearing. Although it is made of fine white linen, the price of this kind of fine white linen in Chang'an is almost the same as this kind of inferior silk.
The five pieces of fine white flax under this hair are naturally much better than those during the Wude period.
However, ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty and the poorer ones also used this, but the richer ones used better ones. The raw material is linen woven from Luzon's soft hemp core material. I don't know if it is better than this one.
How many.
Only money is the most real thing, a basket of money.
Counting it down, there are only 1,200 liters at the lowest level, and 1,800 liters at the level of squad leader.
There is a position of captain, even the lowest level, which costs more than 2,400 liters.
"Whatever you choose, we border guards. Who has received more than the regular salary for one month's military pay? When we get here, almost everyone has received a full 50% increase. These clothes and materials are also given for free. You don't have to pick and choose between good and bad.
." After an old soldier received the things, he shouted a few words to the others.
All the sergeants carried it home.
It didn't even get to the next day. In the afternoon, several local ladies found enough excuses to sneak into the military area.
The Japanese military districts also had silk hair, but the number was not comparable to that of the Tang people. The hair for their 5,000 people was not as much as the hair for these 300 people.
What do the ladies of Nanyang do?
Just buy clothing materials. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, only one thousand pieces of silk arrived in Hong Kong every month. There were only nine ports in Nanyang, with a total of 10,000 pieces every month. Among them, the difference of one thousand pieces was divided into the hands of the military families, and the Japanese.
The Goguryeo people, and then the Tang people.
One piece of silk costs one thousand stone meters. The stone from Tang Dynasty is not the stone from Wadao.
Colorful silk, double the price.
For one stone of rice, the purchase price at the dock is twenty guan, which means a piece of silk is worth twenty guan.
To sell or not to sell.
The regimental commander ordered that all military personnel are not allowed to trade with Nanyang people. Waiting for orders.
This was a military order. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty obeyed the military order unconditionally. The regiment leader immediately left the military camp and went to the Japanese military camp. Regarding the visit of the top military attaché of Palembang, all the officials in the Japanese military camp came together to welcome him.
.Show full posture.
Anyone who can serve as an official in the Japanese army must be able to speak Chinese, and he must be able to write.
"This general came to Palembang for the first time. When I joined the company, some of them gave me rice wine, which was great. I also brought some wine from Chang'an."
"Thank you, thank you very much." The Japanese captain bent his waist to almost ninety degrees.
The Japanese officer knew very well who was the real speaker here. Even though the Tang captain did not care about anything in his duties, he was also his subordinate in name. What’s more, he knew clearly that the Tang captain had the same job.
Si is also nobler than him, not to mention his military rank is half a step higher than his own.
I am truly grateful for this gift.
The wine is Chang'an wine, a real high-quality spirit.
After a few drinks, the regiment leader from Chang'an asked: "In the past, did anyone in your camp have silk cuts?" Silk cuts are inferior silk.
The Japanese captain was stunned for a moment. In his eyes, it was just silk, which was much better than silk cutting.
But on second thought, this may be the new standard of Tang Dynasty. You must know that he also has a high-quality silk shirt as a dress for attending the Palembang banquet. It is called Rainbow Brocade. I think it is the best.
"Yes, we also distributed some. Last month we distributed one hundred pieces, and then we rewarded twenty more. As a reward for our contribution to public security in Palembang, there were also three hundred pieces of fine white linen and one thousand cans.
One." The Japanese captain immediately told everything.
“Any locals want to buy these wire cutters?”
"Yes, I asked the Hong Kong government Yin Shangguan for instructions, and he said that the items handed down are personal items. They can be traded freely, but any transaction must be within the market standards that do not affect the market conditions of goods in Hong Kong. The official's understanding is that it cannot be
The selling price is lower than the silk at the port, so the ones issued last month were traded at the standard of 1,300 Tang stones."
One thousand three hundred stones.
"The price offered by the Nanyang people is only one thousand dan. Fortunately, I asked you."
"They are local aristocrats. After buying them, they resell them right out of the door, adding 200 or 300 shi to the price. Because businessmen in Nanyang are not allowed to go near military residential areas. You live in an aristocratic military area, and it is not possible for ordinary merchants to do so.
It’s close. We suffered losses in our first transaction because we didn’t understand it.”
"Thirteen hundred stones?" the regiment leader asked again.
"It may be even higher, because the demand for silk in Nanyang is too great. As far as Xianguan knows, merchants in Chang'an are more willing to sell first-class silk to the Western Regions, so Nanyang is full of inferior goods.
But just like this, there are only 10,000 horses every month. This is the news I got from the Goguryeo people."
Goguryeo? This group leader feels that his brain is not enough.
After listening to the Japanese captain's explanation, he understood that the Goguryeo people were in charge of tax matters. They knew that the Silk Chamber of Commerce would limit the supply here, and they would definitely not increase the amount in the next three months. But when spring silk comes on the market in Chang'an, they would definitely
Some inferior silks are made into these inferior silks, and some quantity may be increased.
"Twelve hundred stones, I'll give it to you, and the extra money will be yours. How about that?"
"No, you are giving money to the official. Once the silk is brought to this camp, it can be resold on the same day. The official will not dare to take such a profit!"
"You worked so hard to find the seller. I sold you two hundred shi more, and I am satisfied. Make a friend, and we will work together here in the future." Regarding the head of the Tang Dynasty, he also said that he did not have too much national pride in his heart.
impression.
But this Japanese captain was different. He had been in Izumo since the earliest days, and he knew very well what kind of big shot the head of the Ichijo family was. Facing an ordinary Tang Dynasty captain, he would bow his head, but he could stand in front of the powerful Tang regular army.
He was in awe and knew his identity very well.
Even if there is a chance to get the identity card of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if he has exactly the same military rank as the regimental commander, his status is lower than that of the captain.
"Let's do it this way. We can contact each other if there is any news."
The regiment leader said a few polite words, stood up and left. He would rather believe the Japanese than the Goguryeo people. Because he had fought with the Goguryeo people as a soldier, and Goguryeo was fickle, and the thick-skinned ones were comparable to
The Great Wall. On the contrary, it was the Japanese. I heard that earthquakes, tsunamis, and natural disasters often occurred on the Japanese islands.
People who live in such a place have extremely strong personalities.
Moreover, according to rumors among the military, the credibility of the Japanese is quite good.
As the Japanese captain said, as long as there is goods, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them in Palembang. The delivery was completed on the same day. The quantity of rice was too much, and it was impossible to pile it up in the military camp or the military area.
It's not even possible to exchange them for copper coins, there's such a big pile.
Silver bars, gold bars, pearls. This is the final profit taken by the Japanese.
On that day, because of the credibility of the Japanese, a Tang army joined forces with the Japanese military relatives. In name, the family self-help chamber of commerce was a business for the military relatives to earn a little money by themselves. They used this money, as well as the money saved by the five thousand Japanese, and
In the hands of the sergeant of the Tang Dynasty was the 8,000-guan dowry of the wine shop owner’s daughter.
A total of 60,000 yuan was spent to build a super wine shop in Palembang.
"Your Highness, these are all the materials for their winery. They are just waiting to be reported to the Ministry of War for approval. According to the new rules of the Ministry of War, military dependents guarding the border can do some small business. The Ministry of War will provide protection without having to pay taxes. However, the profits must be handed over.
Twenty percent of the total will be given to the Ministry of War, one of which will be sold to Chang'an, and the other will be retained locally."
Wu Yuanshuang handed over the report immediately.
"Have you checked the military regulations?"
"I have checked it, and someone has checked the content of their talks. What they discussed most was within the military regulations. This is the unanimous opinion of the Japanese captain and the regiment commander we selected. It seems that they are still
I know the consequences of violating military regulations, so I act very carefully."
"Do you want to test it and let them know the profits of smuggling?" Wu Zhao said next to him.
"No!" Li Yuanxing objected immediately.
"This is called luring to commit a crime, which is more hateful than fishing for law enforcement. And you can't open this hole. I don't care what happens in the future. At least when I am still the King of Qin, I can't do this."
After objecting to Wu Zhao's opinion, Li Yuanxing said to Wu Yuanshuang: "Go there in person and tell them what they can and cannot do, and then propose a mutual supervision mechanism. Verbally praise the Japanese captain and tell them by the way.
He, as the number of people in Palembang increases, they need to be more careful about the security of Palembang."
"Your Highness, we also received a piece of information!"
"Speak!" Li Yuanxing put down the tea cup he had just picked up. He heard Wu Yuanshuang say: "The Goguryeo people seem to be a little dissatisfied because they cannot open such a wine shop. They want to do some small business. Without the support of the Tang Dynasty War Department, they can only
They can do some hard work, so the Goguryeo people are already a little resentful towards the Japanese who joined forces with the Tang army to open a winery."
"Resentment?" Li Yuanxing was very interested in this word.
"Yes, it's just resentment. The Goguryeo people have tripled their bets to compete with the Japanese. They also bet on half of next month's cans."
"No matter, this matter has nothing to do with the Prince of Qin's Palace. The Ministry of War can check it out. If there is nothing against the rules, don't worry about it. Secretly tell the regiment leader that on the surface he is not allowed to support the Japanese. As a
The highest military attache here, he must be impartial."
"Yes!" Wu Yuanshuang didn't understand what King Qin Li Yuanxing meant, but an order was an order. He didn't dare to do it and had to execute it. (To be continued...)
