Chapter 155 Being a dog also requires qualifications
The Persians' intention was very simple, that is, to do business with the Central Plains people.
Do big business.
Doing a good business is not about doing a "good" business, but doing a "good" business.
Although Ardashir looks old and fierce with his beard, a closer look reveals that he is actually very young, with fair skin, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a face as sharp and angular as a sculpture, full of heroic spirit.
.
According to his tribe, he is quite handsome! He is gentle, handsome, and rich. He is the prince in the eyes of many girls.
Aldashir said: "Although we are no longer a royal family, our strength is still very strong. Our business has spread all over the world. The farthest east is your Central Plains Dynasty, and the far west is Europe, including what you call
The Qin Empire, we call it Italy. We hope that the Silk Road will return to normal soon so that we can trade normally. Although we can no longer restore our country or restore our past glory, we can strive to become the richest family in the world.
Reaching the top on another path is also a supreme honor!"
Feng Jiuxiao was a little puzzled: "Is the Silk Road blocked now?"
Ardashir sighed and said in broken Chinese: "It's not illogical, it's abnormal. You people from the Central Plains have been fighting, the Han people are fighting, and the Han people and the people from the Western Regions are also fighting, although there is no army to fight.
Our caravan idea, but the soldiers have gone to fight, and those bandits and robbers have come out to harm us! Many of our caravans, including their people and goods, can no longer be found. Isn’t it a good idea to continue like this? So
We want to go to your emperor of the Central Plains and ask him to send more troops to strengthen patrols on the Silk Road to deter those bandits and robbers, then we will feel relieved!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "But there are many sections of the Silk Road that are not in the Central Plains. Have you made arrangements with other countries?"
Ardashir said proudly: "The deal is settled! They are easy to talk to. They say that war is war and business is business. After all, they also need to exchange their things for other people's things."
Feng Jiuxiao knew that the countries along the route needed silk, tea, ironware, porcelain from the Central Plains, and the Central Plains needed their grapes, walnuts, carrots, peppers, pomegranates, colored glaze, spices, etc.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Would you mind telling me about your business partners in the Central Plains?" He wanted to know if those two people were involved.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Aldashir said: "Of course I don't mind this. If I have the chance, I will introduce you to them. They will definitely be willing to make friends with a high-ranking official like you. But there are too many people. I'm afraid you won't know me..."
Feng Jiuxiao raised her hand to interrupt him and said: "Let's do this. Don't talk to others. In fact, I only care about two people. I don't know if I have a cooperative relationship with you."
"Speaking!"
"Do you know Liancheng? The only son of our powerful General Lian in the northwest."
"Oh, Mr. Lian, we know each other. Of course we do. He is so famous." Ardashir said with a smile, and he felt that his relationship with this "Lord Deputy Envoy" seemed to have become closer.
"As expected, we know each other. Well, there is also a young city lord named Yan Lingxiao, Liaodong Lingxiao City!"
Ardashir's eyes brightened and he smiled even happier, "Of course we know each other. Although I have only met them once, their charming demeanor left a deep impression on me! Our business is doing well.
It’s huge!”
Feng Jiuxiao remained calm and continued to ask: "How big? How big can it be? Compared with your other businesses, it's probably far behind. You are the one who has expanded your business to two continents, the East and the West!"
Ardashir quickly said humbly: "It's good that I have become big, but it doesn't rely on the support of my friends! We can make more with less. If it weren't for people like Mr. Yan and Mr. Lian to support us, our business would be ruined."
It can only be limited to a small desert, which can only be called a miserable operation. Don't underestimate Mr. Lian's business. He can give me at least five thousand kilo of salt, five thousand kilo of tea, five hundred carts of porcelain, and five thousand kilo of porcelain every year.
Ten thousand pieces of silk, this is not a small amount. Speaking of silk, it is a good thing. It is my most profitable product. Everyone in the upper class of Western countries is proud to wear silk! Ordinary people cannot afford it!
I give him some jewelry every year, such as purple jade, black jade, jasper and other jade of various colors, as well as tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, agate, silver gemstone, amber, ivory, the number is not fixed. As for Mr. Yan, it is simple, he provides me with
Ginseng, mink skins, and I provide him with war horses and stallions."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "War horses? Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture has its own horse farm, why does he still get horses from you?"
Aldashir shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. But he said that the war horses produced by the Sixteenth State of Yanyun are not as endurance as the war horses we provide, so he buys many war horses from me every year!"
Feng Jiuxiao looked at him deliberately and asked, "Do you know which country Mr. Yan is from?"
Ardashir smiled and said: "I really know this! Because I was very strange at the time, so I asked him specifically."
"Oh, what did he say?"
"He said that he was indeed Han, but he was loyal to the Khitan emperor, so he said that from the current point of view, he is a Khitan."
"What does it mean to look at it now?"
"He said that once the world is unified, either the southerners will unify the northerners, or the northerners will unify the southerners. Before unification, he had been living in Liaodong and could only be a Khitan. He said that his ancestors were people of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty, too
What an era we are fascinated by!”
Feng Jiuxiao did not expect that Yan Lingxiao would do war horse business with Aldashir. He had already monopolized the war horse business outside the customs, and had continued to penetrate the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and now he was doing war horse business with Aldashir.
, this shows that the Khitan must be actively preparing for war recently!
Racecourse. Feng Jiuxiao suddenly realized the importance of the racecourse.
Whoever controls the racecourse in the north will have the military advantage to seize the world!
If the sixteen states of Yanyun are not recaptured, there will be no peace in the Central Plains.
As for Liancheng, he has been secretly engaged in smuggling. The tea and ironware are materials exclusively owned by the imperial court, and silk is also a semi-official operation. He has made an unknown amount of money from this intervention! No wonder the dignitaries in the Three Qin Land are all
It is popular to wear jewelry from the Western Regions, which must be of good quality and reasonably priced. It seems that Liancheng contributed a lot! Maybe his method of winning over the officials of the Three Qin Dynasties included sending jade and gemstones from the Western Regions!" Feng Jiuxiao already had a preliminary understanding in the blink of an eye.
He has learned about the economic connections of two powerful enemies. These two people have always been eyeing him, and there will be a battle sooner or later. There is no harm in knowing more information.
If you have money, you have power.
Only those who are wealthy can have great power!
There are so many masters under these two people that they cannot eradicate them by themselves alone. If they want to have absolute crushing power, they must quickly increase their strength! Yingyue Villa is their base camp. Although they have eight brothers, they are far away.
It's not enough! Even if the Shanmeng League is very successful and unites all the famous sects in the world, it may be our duty to fight the demon sect to the death, but if they and themselves are allowed to go to Lingxiao City and attack the Lian family's army for personal grudges, who will respond?
?The teacher comes from nowhere! You have to handle your own affairs!
Feng Jiuxiao said to Aldashir: "In this way, I can give you what Liancheng gives you, and I can give you what Yan Lingxiao can give, and the price is more reasonable. How about we cooperate?"
Ardashir said in surprise: "I got what I asked for!" He is a businessman who only cares about interests but not loyalty. He only cares about strength and not feelings. In business, he will cooperate with anyone who offers a fair price. It is only natural!
Feng Jiuxiao already had a preliminary plan in mind.
He decided to give Zeng Yong a chance to release himself! Let him go to Sanqin to poach Liancheng! Zeng Yong had a hand in all the industries you occupied, the industries you monopolized, and the smuggling routes! You fought Zhao Kuangyin at the front, Zeng Yong
Yong is stabbing you in the back! Haha! Feng Jiuxiao wants to laugh just thinking about this!
Then he suddenly thought of the Khitan woman. He thought that if there was a chance, he could use that woman's hand to trouble Master Yan. He would have to go to Khitan if he had a chance! As for Zishan, he could only tell her to go and talk to Wei
Mr. Chitose did it! My wife is good at everything, but she is too jealous!
Feng Jiuxiao then chatted with Ardashir about some of their local customs, which was an eye-opener.
Since Escort Xiao Xie refused to give up and insisted on going to Wangjing for a duel, a group of more than 20 people finally got together. Escort Xiao Xie and Aldashir no longer had to be secretive and pretended to be powerful, but blatantly "fighted against the power of others"
"!
What if a person who can "be friends" with the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty is treated as a dog? What's more, this commander's martial arts skills are simply unbelievable! Can ordinary people become his dog?
Being a dog also requires qualifications!
This is what escort Xiao Xie was thinking at this moment.
