Chapter 485 Inu Shang San Tian Si Comes to Chang'an
"Master, when will it be ready?"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
Regarding the country of Goguryeo, they all wished to destroy it all tomorrow.
"I am just an idle king in a small mountain village and do not manage the political affairs of the court. How could I know?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but glare at these bastards.
Then, he looked at Li Chengqian: "You have been allowed by His Majesty to take charge of politics, and you should know this matter best!"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others were startled. This time they remembered that Li Chengqian could go to Tai Chi Palace to listen to politics every day, and hurriedly looked at Li Chengqian.
"Master, I don't know either!"
However, Li Chengqian still looked confused. Even if he was listening to political affairs, he only listened to the political affairs of the past few days.
As for the memorials about the attack on Goguryeo, he had not seen a few. Most of them were about military generals clamoring to lead troops to destroy Goguryeo. They only read a few sentences over and over again!
"Since you don't know, go over there and read the memorial and ask your Majesty and the Prince and Grand Master of the East Palace!"
Li Xuan said with a look of disgust.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Chengqian nodded quickly.
"In addition, you can plant more glass vegetables this year. The Turkic war has been decided, and many veterans have retired. Your Majesty has also begun to form a transport team to run from Chang'an City to Qingzhou line.
Now, the vegetables you grow in glass greenhouses can be sold not only around Chang'an City, but also in Henan Road."
Li Xuan said again.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others all nodded again.
Then, thinking of something, Li Chengqian said again: "Master, the cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou has also been laid!"
"So fast?"
Li Xuan's face became happy again and said: "In this way, we can also sell vegetables to Tuyuhun, Tubo, and other countries in the Western Regions! Especially those dried pickles can also be sold!"
"However, it's still bartering, not money transactions!"
"Barter?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but be startled again.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
"In the past, we used silk, glass mirrors, ceramics, and even money for beautiful wool clothing to buy yak meat from Tubo. Now, we in the Tang Dynasty can use vegetables, white wine, and buy yak meat jerky from Tubo!
This situation can also be the same in Tuyuhun, we will only exchange meat such as cattle and sheep!"
"But master, after a year of shopping, I have bought back tens of thousands of yak meat jerky from Tubo. Now even the villagers like me and others have more than ten kilograms of yak meat jerky in their homes. We use yak meat to dry it."
Come get some snacks!”
Li Chongyi said.
"Master, the farmers in my village have also bought some yak jerky. We have been buying yak jerky from Tubo. It is not that profitable!" Cheng Chusi also said with some confusion.
"Do not make money?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled, and asked with some confusion, "How unprofitable is it?"
"Master, if you spend one stone of beef, you can earn a hundred coins!"
Li Chongyi said.
"Isn't a hundred coins a profit? As long as you don't lose money, you will make a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled.
“If you don’t lose money, you will make a lot of money?”
Hearing this, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but be stunned.
"Tell me, how much money can the nobles of Tubo earn from ten thousand stones of yak meat?" Li Xuan asked.
"Master, we have calculated that one stone of yak meat can at least make a lot of money for the Tubo nobles. However, if this money is exchanged for silk, glass mirrors, ceramics, and even beautiful woolen clothes and sent to Tubo, those Tubo honors will be lost."
Expensive rice is equivalent to making dozens of dollars from one stone of yak meat!"
Li Baoding said a little helplessly.
"And how much money does it cost to raise a cow in Tubo?" Li Xuan said again.
"Master, all they need is a piece of grass!"
After thinking about it, Cheng Chusi gritted his teeth and said, "These hozens are really making a lot of money!"
Li Xuan still looked calm, "If you could make money by raising a yak, what would you do?"
“I should raise more yaks!”
Cheng Chusi replied subconsciously without thinking.
"Then if you still have to raise horses, is there not enough grassland to raise yaks and horses at the same time?"
"Then keep fewer horses!"
“What if there isn’t enough grassland to raise yaks?”
"Then grab it!"
"Whose is it?"
"of course……"
With that said, Cheng Chusi finally came back to his senses and looked at Li Xuan with a surprised look on his face.
"But Master, it seems that the nobles in Tubo haven't opened up yet!"
"That is because the benefits of yaks are not great enough. They don't raise that many yaks. When they realize that even if they reduce the number of horses, the pasture is not enough, they will start to think of their neighbors' pastures!"
Li Xuandan said in a dull voice.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely grow more vegetables and sell them to countries like Tubo and Tuyuhun!"
Cheng Chusi looked excited.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded, "Glass isn't worth much anyway, and those iron shelves and stoves can be used many times!"
On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi nodded their heads in agreement.
However, my heart felt very distressed.
How can things like glass, iron frames, and stoves not be valuable?
Anything sold outside would be worth several dollars!
"In addition, any new objects that appear in the Tang Dynasty in the future, as long as they are not iron objects, can be given to Tubo and Tuyuhun! Moreover, as long as they can accept it, the price can be increased dozens of times. As for Silla, Baekje
Even small countries can do the same!" Li Xuan said again.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others nodded again.
After saying that, Li Xuan didn't think of anything else to say, so he turned around and walked upstairs.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others looked at each other and rested for a while, then quickly turned around and left.
…
Outside Chang'an City.
A conspicuous veteran of the Tang Dynasty's transportation team drove twenty four-wheeled carriages and drove quickly into Chang'an City.
We walked all the way until we reached the entrance of Honglu Temple, and then we stopped.
Then, a leading Japanese man got out of the carriage and asked for his identity.
"The Japanese were sending their dogs to the three fields and met two superior officials!"
It was the same two officials from Honglu Temple who met with Inugami Santian two months ago.
"Why did you return to Datang like this?"
Seeing Inugami Santian, the two Honglu Temple officials were also very surprised.
"Two Shangguans, I am here this time to pay tuition to the Tang Dynasty and to do a business with His Highness the King of Jin!"
Inugami Mitaru said quickly.
"These carriages?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the two Honglu Temple officials flashed with surprise, and then they looked curiously at the carriage behind them.
"Returning to the two superior officials, these carriages are filled with money and treasures brought by the envoys from Japan!"
Inugami Mita Shu said.
"Twenty cars are all?"
The two officials of Honglu Temple couldn't help but be startled.
"Back to the two Shangguan, there are only ten cars. The other ten cars are for the mission members and me!"
Inugami Mitsuda explained.
"I see!"
The two Honglu Temple officials breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after realizing it, his eyes widened again.
Ten wagons of property!
"I will arrange for you to check into the Honglu Guesthouse first, and then go to see His Highness King Jin!"
"Thank you, both superiors!"
Inugami Santao quickly saluted.
In the afternoon, every powerful household in the entire Chang'an City knew about this matter.
The Japanese mission actually came to do business with His Highness the King of Jin, pulling ten carriages and valuables!
