Last time in Chang'an, Yang Xuan found a way out for himself and Cao Ying, deliberately avoiding the help of the imperial concubine's siblings. This made Liang Jing a little annoyed. As 'compensation', Yang Xuan and Liang Jing asked for the distribution rights of Shu Brocade.
The brother and sister Liang Jing were born in the Shu region, and those who were closer to the water came first, so Liang Jing easily obtained the right to ship Shu brocade.
And Yang Xuan is now the general distributor of Tang Shu Jin Beijiang.
"drink wine!"
Yu Jing staggered over and grabbed Yang Xuan without letting go.
"For the friendship between Jibo and Datang." Yu Jing raised the jade bowl high.
So damn rich!
Yang Xuan moved his eyes away from the several gem-encrusted rings on Yu Jing's fingers. The old thief whispered: "The villain can find out all his dirty tricks."
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Be kind to others."
The old thief was a little embarrassed.
Kong has a hole-piercing skill, but he can't use it. The old thief hooked Wang Laoer's shoulder and said, "Lao Er, how about I teach you how to drill holes later?"
Wang Laoer shook his head, "It stinks."
Damn it, the old Jia family’s tomb robbing skills are going to be passed down forever?
Over there, Yang Xuan and Yu Jing were also holding hands.
"Can't you give me more?" Yu Jing let out a wine burp, and the smell of wine mixed with food made Yang Xuan want to vomit.
"Even the nobles in the palace cannot use that thing."
"hehe!"
"hehe!"
The two smiled at each other.
Yu Jing raised the jade bowl.
"I can't bear to drink." The young man drank and blushed in a way that made people think it was funny and immature.
"Drink!" Yu Jing forced Yang Xuan to drink a bowl of wine. Seeing Yang Xuan's crooked eyes, he said with satisfaction: "We can bribe the generals, but once we enter the thirty-mile grassland in Chenzhou, who will guarantee it?"
Our safety?”
"Uh!" Yang Xuan burped, his eyes a little dull, "Chen Zhou won't do anything."
"If the rangers of the Jibo Department are like wild dogs, then the scouts of the Tang Dynasty are like wolves. They appear in groups. Once they find a prairie caravan, they will take action without hesitation. And once they take action, they will not leave any survivors alive.
.”
Those tough bandits... Yang Xuan coughed a few times and said, "I'm just Sima, you can just buy them later."
"It can't be bribed." Yu Jing felt that the Tang Dynasty scouts were a group of ruthless bandits. "Someone tried it. After a while, he and his men were left with only skeletons. All the goods were looted by the Tang Dynasty scouts, but the meat was used as food.
The coyote."
"I am only Sima. Sima cannot interfere in military affairs and violate taboos." Yang Xuan said seriously.
Yang Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Sima's position is just a false one. I'm here to find some merit."
He took the risk to come to the Jibo Department to seek to open up trade routes, and then used this credit to fight for power. It was bold.
"I can make this request, but what the Lin'an Army does is not something I can interfere with." Yang Xuan pointed at the sergeants and said, "I brought them here this time, and I had many good words along the way, but you see
look……"
The five hundred soldiers were as silent as five hundred sculptures.
Yu Jing had a headache, "This matter must be resolved, otherwise we will bring a large group of people there every time, and sooner or later Wynn will find out."
The old thief whispered: "Lang Jun, we can also give them benefits."
Chunlin said to the old thief with admiration: "Exactly, we bribe the generals here. You can also bribe them over there. Let the generals suppress those wild wolves."
"The price is high. My salary is not enough to fill my teeth." Yang Xuan stretched out a finger and said, "The price of Shu Brocade is increased by 10% as the cost of buying them."
"It's too high." Yu Jing said dissatisfied: "My profits are being eroded by you."
Yang Xuan sneered, "I did not prohibit you from selling to those Northern Liao dignitaries. Think about it, Northern Liao has accumulated wealth for many years. These Shu brocades can be exchanged for gold and silver of almost the same size. What are you waiting for?"
"But your shipping price is not low either."
The two parties negotiated for a while and finally reached an agreement.
It feels so good to raise the price by 10% for no reason.
During this meal, I drank until the white fish belly appeared on the horizon.
Yang Xuan felt that his whole body was full of alcohol, and alcohol was spraying out of his pores.
Damn it!
I will definitely not drink like this next time.
Drinkers will curse and swear like this every time after drinking too much, but it will still be the same the second time.
"I'm looking forward to it in Chenzhou."
"I will set off as soon as possible with the sheep and cattle furs."
When they parted, Yang Xuan and Yu Jing held hands and looked at each other. The morning dew wetted their eyelashes, and they looked like they were speechless and choking.
Yang Xuan was disgusted by this discovery.
"Walk slowly!"
Yu Jing waved goodbye reluctantly.
Turning his head, Chunlin said: "Master, Yang Xuan can control the Tang Dynasty scouts."
"I know." Yu Jing smiled proudly, "Yang Xuan thought that if he raised the price of Shu brocade by 10%, he would gain a lot, but he didn't know the luxury of those powerful people in Northern Liao. These Shu brocades could be sold for a price that made him jaw-dropping. But
He didn't know that the biggest benefit fell into my pocket."
Chunlin smiled and said, "I guess he is feeling proud at the moment, but he doesn't know that the master has already seen through his true nature."
Yu Jing looked at the people and horses retreating and said calmly: "The autumn is high and the horses are fat, and the Khan is ready to make a move. They have to ensure that they will not be killed in the next invasion."
Yang Xuan swayed on the horse, feeling that his stomach was full of wine.
Li Han's drinking capacity was obviously enough to overwhelm him, but he was still sober. "You said you couldn't suppress the Tang Dynasty scouts. I was watching from the side, and Yu Jing wouldn't even believe it."
King Wei said: "But he still agreed to increase the price by 10%."
Li Han shook his head, "He agreed too readily. There is only one possibility, that is, the benefits he can obtain are far greater than the 10% increase in price. In other words, the wealth accumulated over many years in Beiliao, those powerful people are afraid
Even if you can pay a sky-high price to buy Shu brocade, Zitai, you still suffer a loss."
King Wei only killed two people this time, and felt a little itchy. "Zitai is not a businessman after all."
Yang Xuan felt a little painful. The old thief took the water bag and said, "Mr. Lang, take a sip."
Yang Xuan took a sip of water and felt his stomach became more and more turbulent. He quickly dismounted and said, "Damn, I'm going to vomit."
"Surround." Wu Da led people to block Yang Xuan's back.
This reminded Yang Xuan of the scene where the emperor was in the wild, only covered by a veil and two shy and timid palace servants holding urinals.
grass!
What was I thinking?
vomit!
After spitting out the food and wine, Yang Xuan felt much better.
He sat on the grass and looked at the eastern sun with half of his head exposed, feeling refreshed.
"Even if I don't bring the Shu brocade this time, I still have a way to get Yujing to agree to trade."
"Shu brocade is precious and cannot be sold at a high price in Northern Xinjiang. The Jibo tribe is not that good either. Only in Northern Liao there are many rich people."
Li Han was startled and understood in an instant, "Well, Tai. Yujing and others have obtained the Shu brocade. In order to make a lot of money, they will definitely find ways to sell it to Northern Liao. Once you cut off the supply of Shu brocade, those dignitaries of Northern Liao will naturally
Someone will come and find a way to buy it back. Then Yujing and others will make a wedding dress for you."
He clicked his tongue and shook his head, "You guy, I take back what I said. If you go into business, businessmen like Yu Jing will probably be swallowed to pieces by you, and I will have to be grateful to you in the end."
The business roads in Bei Liao were difficult to open, and the only channel was the emperor's uncle. But the emperor's uncle was so greedy that corrupt officials of all generations were ashamed of themselves. If Yang Xuan did business with him directly, the price would not be very good.
Through Yu Jing and others, Yang Xuan has more choices.
Doing business has always been a tricky business.
Lin'an.
When Yang Xuan returned again, the autumn rain covered the whole city with mist.
The guard guard huddled lazily in the city gate, but his seemingly lazy eyes would not miss any suspicious objects.
Chang'an's watchdogs were more dedicated and more majestic than they looked, but Yang Xuan was willing to bet that if the two sides faced off, the Northern Xinjiang Army could easily defeat the Chang'an guards.
He even wondered if a certain big boss had noticed the problem since Chang An had done so many tricks against Northern Xinjiang in recent years.
Strong branches and weak trunks will encourage the ambitions of ministers... When the most powerful power of a country is held in one's own hands for a long time, human desires will gradually destroy the so-called loyalty.
"I've seen Sima!"
The soldiers guarding the city saluted in unison.
There was some awe in his eyes as he looked at this Sima.
This Sima dared to practice with them all the way. Those who could stand were numb all over; those who could run fell to their knees and vomited, but this Sima did not change his expression.
This has nothing to do with cultivation. Cultivation can make a person stronger, but his endurance remains the same. Military drills test people's endurance.
Yang Xuan nodded.
When we arrived outside Zhouli, we happened to meet Han Li who was returning from an outing.
Han Li held up his hand and said, "I have met Sima."
"Han joins the army." The greatest sense of superiority for a superior is to watch his subordinates salute.
The former superior Han Li stabbed Yang Xuan in the back, "It was said that Sima went to explore trade routes. Did he...find it?"
After Yang Xuan set off, some people even started betting on the outcome of Yang Xuan's trip. Han Li quietly asked someone to place a bet of five hundred dollars. This was not a small bet for fun, but a way to make some extra money.
Yang Xuan nodded and went in immediately.
Han Li stood there stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty."
"Come back?" Liu Qing glanced at him. The old man's eyes were still bright, but the bags under his eyes seemed bigger, like two small fish bladders.
"How was the trip?" Lu Qiang couldn't help but ask.
Han Li came in later and said: "Since Sima left, those businessmen have gathered together, today in brothels and tomorrow in restaurants, talking about the business roads that will be opened. They began to hoard goods and turned Lin'an City into a shopping mall. If the business roads cannot
If the goods are opened, these goods can only be sold at a low price, otherwise the merchants cannot afford the cost of re-transshipment."
Old Han's serious look was really fake: his eyebrows were raised, one side high and the other low, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also the same. In order to emphasize the seriousness of these words, he also stared, his eyeballs bulging slightly, which made Yang
Xuan thought of Jiu Mengzi.
He looked sideways at Yang Xuan with concern on his face, "But it'll be good if you can come back safely."
The most I can give for this acting skill is sixty points.
Liu Qing said calmly: "He hasn't spoken yet, why are you anxious?"
Han Li smiled awkwardly and said, "This official is concerned about this matter."
Liu Qing coughed dryly, and everyone immediately shut up.
The old man's intimidation was too powerful... Yang Xuan glanced at the stick in his hand, and his attitude became more serious, "Envoy, during this trip to the Jibo Department, the merchants I met are all very hungry for trade with both sides."
"The words are not good." Liu Qing said with a cold face.
But the old man's chin was raised up and down, and his beard was also doing the same, and he was obviously happy.
"Yes, you have to study more when you are a lower-ranking official."
I can only blame Liang Jing and Zhao Sanfu, as well as Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du for this matter. The four old snake skins led me astray... Yang Xuan looked upright, "After hearing about the opening of trade in Lin'an, the businessmen of the Jibo Department were extremely excited.
, I am full of praise for the envoy's open-mindedness. If the lower officials hadn't stopped me, there would have been businessmen coming to pay homage to the envoy this time."
You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.
Liu Qing still had a straight face, but Yang Xuan knew that the old man was secretly feeling happy.
"In other words, it's done?" Lu Qiang couldn't help but ask from the side.
"It's done." Yang Xuan said.
Liu Qing looked at the crowd, with proud eyes.
Look at the little cub!
have a look!
"They say I prefer him, look, look!"
The old man seemed to be holding back his anger, and asked almost roaring at this moment: "Is my preference wrong?"
Han Li lowered his head, but with more doubts in his heart, he raised his head and asked, "Huai'en warned that the Jibo Department was not allowed to trade with Chenzhou. Aren't those wealthy merchants worried about being punished?"
There are too many blows, no wonder Chenzhou's development continues to the point of death.
Yang Xuan frowned slightly, "Before I talk about this, I need to let you know something. Why, starting from the Chen Kingdom and continuing to the Tang Dynasty, the attitude towards businessmen was to both support and suppress them."
"Businessmen are despicable."
"Businessmen value profits over righteousness."
Everyone murmured.
Boom!
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the old man hit the table with a stick and said with a dark face: "You talk too much."
Everyone stood with hands tied.
Yang Xuan said: "It is true that merchants value profits. But how can merchants value profits?"
He slowly looked at the crowd, his mind filled with the history of the world in the scroll, as well as the history of the Chen Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty.
"When Chen Guo was in decline, many wealthy businessmen colluded with the rebels and smuggled banned goods crazily."
"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were businessmen who provided information to the Northern Liao Dynasty."
Someone said: "But the subsequent revenge was also particularly brutal."
Yang Xuan smiled, "But now the smuggling business in the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous. Don't those businessmen know that if they are caught, they will lose their heads? Don't they know that the whole family will become slaves?"
His eyes were bright, "They know! But they never look back! Why? It's all because of greed!"
"I bet that as long as Chenzhou has interests that Jibo merchants won't let go of, Wynn's obstruction will be like a dam made of sand that will collapse as soon as it hits!"
People in this era simply don’t understand the mentality of businessmen, no, of wealthy businessmen, and they don’t bother to understand it.
So they always have all kinds of weird ideas when making decisions.
Liu Qing asked: "What is the root of your decision?"
"A wealthy businessman has no country!"
Yang Xuan said categorically: "In order to make money or other benefits, they are willing to sell the rope to hang themselves and the knife to stab themselves to death."
These words...
Someone murmured, "This is a bit alarmist."
There was a horn sound outside.
"Enemy found!"
Someone is shouting outside.
Liu Qing scolded: "You bitch slave, you are not letting me take it easy! Let's go to the top of the city."
