Fan Jian's experience was similar to that of all the people who came to the grassland. In addition, the Shengbao spared no effort in publicity and published some character stories. Soon, people in the Sheng Dynasty became rich outside the customs.
consensus.
At this time, Tumubao had become a trading market, and Yang Xuan was based here. After renovation, it has become the largest of the twelve markets.
The wall of the Tumu Fort is one thousand meters long and five hundred meters wide. Under Yang Xuan's planning, two rows of buildings inside and outside were built directly on the wall, forming a huge circle.
In the open space in the center of the circle, a brand new building has been built, called the Commercial Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is the yamen that handles all business-related matters in the grassland.
Tumubao Market is not only the largest, but also the most prosperous, with all shops. The outer circle is the wholesale market for various goods, and the inner circle is full of inns, restaurants, theaters, teahouses, and even brothels.
Yang Xuan's industry accounts for a small part here, including the delicious noodle restaurant and hot pot, a ride-hailing company, a security company, Shengfa Department Store, a logistics company, and an inn. This inn is opened by Yang Xuan himself.
The money under your nose is not earned in vain.
The most important thing is that half of the merchants in Tumubao are from Yang Xuan, or to be precise, from the imperial court.
Every day, a large part of the merchants who set off from Tumubao to the grassland are sent by Yang Xuan.
In the caravan he sent out, there were not only traders, but also Yulin guards, and even officers from the Police Department.
As more and more caravans came and went from the grassland, Ursu and Ihaqi felt that something was wrong.
People from Dasheng came and went freely on the grassland. As time went by, they would have a clear picture of the situation on the grassland.
Feeling threatened, Ihaqi immediately submitted his credentials to Da Sheng, stating that he would conduct a new round of consultations, otherwise traders would be prohibited from entering the grassland.
At this time, three full months had passed since the trade agreement was reached.
Soon, the representatives sent by the grassland arrived at the Tumu Fort. Ursu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the prosperous Tumu Fort.
It's only been three months, is this still the same dilapidated fortress with ruins and walls?
Looking back, I think about the trading markets in my home. They are completely different.
In the lobby of the Department of Commerce, Yang Xuan received guests from the grassland.
The last time we negotiated, we just set up a tent with ventilation on all sides, but this time we were in a magnificent lobby.
In the yamen of the Department of Commerce, there were two rows of long tables and chairs, with each party occupying one side. After a few pleasantries, they got down to business.
Ursu's first sentence was to disqualify Dasheng's caravan from entering the grassland to do business.
Yang Xuan sneered at this, took out the copy of the credentials he signed last time, and slapped it on the table.
"Lord Ursu, it has only been three months since this letter of credence was signed. Are you about to tear up the treaty?"
Ursu looked embarrassed: "This is also due to poor thinking before. Now your Dasheng caravan is about to take root in our grassland. If this continues, won't the grassland be occupied by you Dasheng people? We
Where is there any place to survive?"
"As you said, the grassland is so big. Even if the whole Dasheng people go to the grassland, they won't occupy your territory. The caravan does nothing but do business. It doesn't herd animals and it doesn't cultivate..."
‘Bang’
Before Yang Xuan finished speaking, he was interrupted. A strong man next to Ursu slapped the table and said: "You kid, stop talking nonsense. There are so many caravans entering the grassland. If there are spies in the caravans,
The safety of us grassland people is not guaranteed, so caravans must be prohibited from going to the grassland."
According to the previous introduction, this person comes from a powerful tribe on the grassland. He is the strongest tribe except the Essien family, and he is a powerful figure in the tribe. He has a strong sense of oppression when he opens his mouth.
Different from Sosna's bluff, Yang Xuan could see that this guy was really fierce.
However, no matter how fierce Yang Xuan was, he stood up immediately: "Since you want to tear up the treaty, there is nothing left to talk about. Starting from tomorrow, all previously negotiated treaties will be invalid. We will cancel all markets and recall all merchants."
, everyone, please."
He waved his hand to signal the guards to see him off.
Ursu was startled and stood up quickly: "Mr. Yang, please stay. Don't be excited. We are still discussing, so be patient and don't be impatient."
Yang Xuan stopped: "You are all planning to tear up the treaty, what else is there to talk about?"
"Everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss." Ursu stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down."
Ursu didn't expect that Yang Xuan would be so tough, and would fall out immediately after a disagreement. Don't underestimate the three months of trade. In the past three months, none of the powerful tribes on the grassland has benefited, especially Yihaqi and Sosna.
Get a lot of money.
Not to mention, since the trade with Dasheng, people on the grassland have used goods from Dasheng, and everyone is praising Ihaqi, saying that he has brought a better life to the grassland people.
Who can give up such obvious benefits?
If the trade routes were suddenly cut off, it would be better not to trade in the first place.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Yang Xuan also sat back now, raised his head and curled his lips: "Let's talk."
Ursu was furious, and now the initiative was in Yang Xuan's hands again.
Originally, Grassland made an offer and waited for Dasheng to counter-offer. Now Dasheng didn't counter-offer and just said, "You can cut it yourself."
Ursu frowned, and after a while he said: "I have an immature suggestion. Under the premise of limiting the number of people, you can only enter the grassland to do business after obtaining a pass issued by us."
Yang Xuan chuckled: "Master Ursu, your suggestion is really immature. There is a limit on the number of people and a pass is required? Let me ask you, are you responsible for the safety of my Dasheng merchants on the grassland? If you encounter wild beasts,
Or bandits, who will ensure the safety of goods and people? Or if there is a problem, your grassland will be responsible for compensation?"
"Ah this..."
"If you are willing to compensate, then I will accept your suggestion just now."
Ursu was dumbfounded. How can you compensate for this thing? The grassland is so big. If you just find a place to hide your things, and then say it was robbed, I will compensate you? Then I can't pay with my life?
"What do you think, Master Yi Yang?" Ursu wanted to take the opportunity to throw the question to Yang Xuan.
"I don't have any objections. Merchants are all chasing profits. You have to label yourself as a spy. If you do this, no one will be willing to go to the grassland to do business in the future. There will be no need for this trading market to exist.
, To be honest, we at Dasheng really don’t lack this little money.”
Seeing that Yang Xuan did not accept the move, Ursu had no choice but to resort to a delaying tactic: "Master Yang, please be patient for a moment and let me go back to discuss it and discuss it tomorrow, okay?"
"We came with an attitude of peaceful development, but you suspect that we have ulterior motives. Your grasslands are lacking in materials and resources. What can we do for you?"
Yang Xuan stood up, shook his head and said, "I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
