Popular Recommendations: The Emperor’s Arrival at Hongmeng Heaven’s Order to Punish Evil
"The trade route on the road?" Da Qinmao looked at Fang Guoshou and then at the Buddha statue inlaid with glass beads on the lotus platform. He couldn't move his eyes away.
In fact, after maritime trade was blocked, Daqinmao did not consider land trade.
However, the trade route to the south and Datang was blocked by the Puppet Yan. Da Qinmao also had the idea of taking a detour from the Mobei grassland to open up the trade route to the Western Regions.
But this road was too far, and there were too many unstable factors along the way in Modong, so Da Qinmao gave up the idea.
But he didn't expect that Long You would come to the door on his own.
Fang Guoshou said: "Our products from Longyou are no worse than those from Jiangnan."
"Prince, this is our dyed cloth from Longyou."
Fang Guoshou seemed to be the host of TV shopping, picking up a piece of bright red dyed cloth in the box.
Fang Guoshou showed it and said: "Dyeing cloth is a product of Longyou. It is made of long-staple cotton. It is smoother than linen but more durable than silk."
"And this dye is also Longyou's latest product. It can be washed many times without fading."
The chamberlain handed the bright red dyed cloth to Da Qinmao.
Touching the soft cotton cloth, Da Qinmao looked at the even red color on the cloth. It felt much better than linen cloth.
Moreover, cotton is thicker than silk, so it is naturally more suitable for the cold north.
Nowadays, Japanese emperors and ministers like to wear gorgeous clothes, so this red dyed cloth will definitely be very popular.
However, Da Qinmao was not a fool. Although Longyou's products were good, if they couldn't be delivered or the cost of delivery was too high, then the business wouldn't work.
Da Qinmao asked: "Longyou is across the Mobei grassland from the Bohai Sea. I don't know how King Jianning wants to trade."
If Bohai is required to transport grain to Longyou, then naturally there is no way to negotiate this deal.
With such a long road and transporting food by land, the losses must be staggering.
Moreover, organizing the transportation of food will not only cause huge losses, but also require a lot of manpower and material resources.
Although Bohai State is known as a prosperous country in the east of the sea, it is actually just a small country with insufficient population.
It was also because there was no threat that the Tang Dynasty only included him in the tribute system instead of constantly conquering him like it did with Goguryeo.
Fang Guoshou said with a smile: "We in Longyou are planning to build a market in the Songmo area. As long as Da Qinmao transports grain to Songmo, he can trade with us in Longyou."
Just need to ship to Songmo?
Da Qinmao began to be tempted.
Songmo is in western Liaoning, not far from Bohai Country.
It doesn't seem to take too long to deliver the food to Songmo, which is something Da Qinmao can accept.
If Longyou can really build a market in Songmo and sell Longyou's goods stably, Bohai's grain will also have a market.
Although dyeing cloth is not as comfortable as silk, the color is more gorgeous and bright, and it will definitely sell for a higher price.
Today, Buddhism in Japan is very prosperous, and even the royal family are devout Buddhist believers.
With Longyou's advanced imaging technology, he might be able to make a lot of money in Japan.
Da Qinmao, who built his country on commerce and was always proficient in doing business, immediately agreed to the deal.
Bohai Kingdom only needs to transport food to Songmo Prefecture.
Merchants from Longyou will open a trading post in Songmo Prefecture, and the two parties will exchange goods at the trading post in Songmo Prefecture.
As long as the first transaction can be completed, Bohai Kingdom will regularly deliver food to Songmo Prefecture.
Today's Buddha statues and cloth are all gifts from King Jianning to the Bohai County Prince. Fang Guoshou stayed in the capital of Bohai Kingdom as the trade representative of the Tang Dynasty.
Da Qinmao, the king of Bohai County, also believed in Buddhism, and he soon discovered that this envoy from Longyou was extraordinary.
Fang Guoshou was not only proficient in literature and history, but also in Buddhism.
Da Qinmao summoned monks from Bohai to give lectures, but they were all defeated by Fang Guoshou one by one. Da Qinmao respected Fang Guoshou even more and even gave Fang Guoshou a mansion next to Heishui Hall.
——On the grassland from Moxi to Modong——
Temporary military camps at trading stations have been set up one after another, strung together into a pearl necklace, and hung on the northern grasslands of the Tang Empire.
Through the player's carrot and stick, the tribes near these trading posts were either incorporated like the Yelu tribe, or were driven away by the player's advance team.
Player caravans have transported some canned military rations to these temporary trading posts.
A channel across the grasslands to transport troops to Liaodong has been initially completed.
Modong Development Company finally has some assets.
The entire Modong Development Company wants to become the issuer of public bonds for this war and raise the funds needed for this great roundabout strategy from Longyou society.
Jiang Lun, the chairman of Wangfu Bank, personally came to the labor union headquarters of "Wenzhao Gongzhijia".
Now Wen Chao Gong's family almost controls the public opinion in Longyou and Hexi.
If you want to promote Modong Development Company's bonds, you naturally have to find players from Wenzhao Gongzhao.
The headquarters of Wenzhao Gongzhijia in Shazhou City is a five-story wooden high-rise building, with a signboard of "Longyou Daily" hanging on the door.
The editorial department of Longyou Daily is an organization under the Governor's Office and is the largest newspaper in Longyou.
"Longyou Daily" covers the entire Longyou region and has branches in every big city.
As the mouthpiece of the Governor's Office, Jiang Lun wanted to issue bonds of the Modong Development Company, so naturally he could not do without the support of the newspaper.
The Modong Development Company finally received approval from the Governor's Office, and the company was granted "development, colonization, trade and partially independent military rights over the Modong grassland, as well as partially independent diplomatic rights with various tribes in Modong."
Jiang Lun almost copied the East India Company's charter, and the structure of the Modong Development Company was similar to that of the East India Company.
The company has one manager, and the first manager is Pang Yawei. His job is to maintain the daily work of Modong Development Company.
The company has set up twelve more directors, of which three seats are appointed by the Governor's Office, three seats are owned by Royal Bank, there are also three seats for the company's internal management, and three seats for representatives of major shareholders.
The trading posts and temporary military camps in the Modong Grassland that players developed were all assigned to the Modong Development Company as the company's assets.
Modong Development Company can also form a company escort team and purchase firearms and weapons from Longyou to ensure the safety of the company's property on the grassland.
Jiang Lun came out of the "Longyou Daily" newspaper office with satisfaction. The Wenzhaogong Family Union immediately agreed to Wangfu Bank's publicity request.
The entire Longyou propaganda tool was launched, and Modong Development Company suddenly became the hottest topic in Longyou today.
The lanterns were just beginning to light up, in a luxurious restaurant on the streets of Shazhou.
Today, Yang Yan took the initiative to invite Liu Yan out for dinner, and Yang Yan found a private box.
After Liu Yan finished handling the official duties at hand, he entered the box and said to Yang Yan with shame, "Sorry, sorry, brother Gongnan, I'm late!"
Although Yang Yan had changed out of his official robe, his casual clothes were still made of silk, and he looked like a rich man.
In comparison, Liu Yan, who is the secretary of the Dudu Mansion, is much simpler.
Liu Yan's casual clothes were made of ordinary cotton, but his appearance was impressive, and the waiters in the restaurant did not dare to neglect him.
"Brother Shi'an, I have just arrived, please hurry up and take a seat."
After the two sat down, a beautiful maid naturally served appetizers.
Then the maids exited the room one by one, leaving room for the two of them to talk.
Liu Yan was the secretary of the Dudu Mansion and was responsible for drafting official documents for King Jianning. Although his position was not high, he was the closest official to King Jianning who was closest to the center of power.
However, Liu Yan doesn't like luxury by character and rarely attends such occasions.
Yang Yan, on the other hand, advocates luxury. He works under Jiang Lun of the Salt and Iron Tax Department. He handles large sums of money every day and pays more and more attention to exquisite life.
The two of them came to Longyou together, but their interactions with each other have become less and less these days. Today, Yang Yan suddenly wanted to entertain Liu Yan, and the dinner was at such an expensive place, which made Liu Yan very confused.
After eating appetizers to fill their stomachs, the two chatted about their recent lives, and then Yang Yan started talking.
"Brother Shi'an, have you heard about the Modong Development Company's public bonds?"
Liu Yan nodded. He had personally handled many documents of Modong Development Company, and he naturally knew the inside story of the issuance of public bonds.
Yang Yan whispered: "I heard from Jiang Yuansi that this time the Modong Development Company is just a cover. It is Longyou who wants to bypass the grassland and use troops against Liaodong."
Liu Yan lowered his head and did not answer Yang Yan's question directly.
Yang Yan is also a person with Qiqiao exquisite heart, and he immediately understood that Liu Yan acquiesced in this statement.
The successive victories against Tibet and the Uyghurs made the Longyou army invincible the idea deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Every victory will bring a lot of benefits to Longyou. Under the subtle influence of major newspapers, Longyou's bellicose atmosphere is rising.
Even Yang Yan, who works in the economic department, hears a lot of bellicose remarks from his colleagues every day.
It was confirmed that Longyou would continue to use troops, and Yang Yan became excited.
He continued: "Brother Shi'an, do you think you can buy the bonds of Modong Development Company?"
Liu Yan looked at Yang Yan and said, "Brother Gongnan, you work in a bank, right? This bond is also underwritten by Wangfu Bank. Do you still have to ask me whether you want to buy it or not?"
Liu Yan asked in reply, but Yang Yan, who had developed a thick skin, said:
"The profits of Modong Development Company are not low. Jiang Siyuan often said: 'The higher the profit, the higher the risk.' My financial resources are too small. If the investment fails, I will have to rely on Gongnan in the future.
Brother helped me."
Liu Yan smiled slightly, Yang Yan's family background was not that thin.
First come first served. With Wangfu Bank, Yang Yan invested in several workshops with high return rates and made a lot of money.
Otherwise, how could he live a silky life with his salary?
It seems that Yang Yan has heard the news and is planning to invest all his wealth in the bonds of Modong Development Company.
Liu Yan said: "I cannot disclose the secrets of the Governor's Office, but I heard that several large chambers of commerce in Shazhou have raised funds and are preparing to snap up the bonds of Modong Development Company."
Yang Yan immediately understood what Liu Yan meant. He picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Then let's wish His Highness good military virtues!"
