As the main person in charge of everyone's money bags and often in contact with merchants, Chang Sun Huan naturally pays more attention to the economic profits that can be obtained after the opening of the mutual market.
If Du He's proposal on mutual trading is really adopted, the places that will be discussed to open mutual trading at that time should not only be west of Yanmen. It is estimated that Bohai Kingdom outside Youzhou Pass, Goguryeo and other places will not wait and see what happens.
It took many years to build a road from southern Yunnan directly to Nanzhao, and then from Nanzhao to Niboluo and Tianzhu in the southwest. It was opened at the end of autumn this year, providing a way for the future flow of goods in the southwest to the Tang Dynasty.
A strong guarantee.
If the idea of mutual market can really be adopted, even if it is just an ordinary material exchange of specialty products, the huge price difference between them when sold in different places can make a lot of profits for the merchants who dare to take risks!
Just thinking about the gross profit estimated based on the current selling price and popularity of various materials in Datang, and then discounting it in half, is enough to make Changsun Huan's blood boil and his expression high.
What Du He cared about, besides being able to exchange materials and reduce border wars, was more about the prosperity of Datang's business.
As long as business flourishes and a certain system of transactions is gradually formed, and it brings objective benefits to the country, then he will save the rough and save the essence, through reasonable conception and implementation, and then propose Confucian businessmen at the appropriate time.
It will be more likely that the matter will go smoothly. When the matter of Confucian businessmen is finalized, wouldn't it be faster to resign and start doing business openly?
Thinking that the opening of the mutual market would affect whether his future dreams could be realized smoothly, Du He became even more concerned about promoting the opening of the mutual market.
Thinking that one day he could be like Tao Zhugong, who practiced Confucianism and engaged in business, and could be admired by future generations. He would no longer be just a despised businessman with a black heart and a despised businessman. Du He's blood could not stop surging straight to his forehead.
Jump up!
Seeing the excitement on the faces of Fang Yiai, Changsun Huan and Du He, their emotions were not ordinary. Out of prudent considerations, Qin Huaiyu thought about it and said with some unbearability, "The opening of the mutual market will inevitably make business affairs more prosperous."
There are frequent traffic, and the roads that pass everywhere are inevitably in poor mountains and rivers, and there are often people with sinister intentions who rob the roads by force, killing people and stealing goods for the benefit of others!"
"Although the late Emperor and His Majesty have repeatedly ordered the state governments to eliminate banditry since they came to the throne, but if the chivalrous style is not strictly enforced, or in other words, it cannot help but break its loose wind, the banditry will never be eradicated! Business is difficult!
An, if the mutual market wants to proceed smoothly, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
"Qin Huaiyu said, "What's more, the people in the northwest are fierce, and the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo tribes, etc. always like to use force and do some unprofitable business. There is no guarantee that they will not disguise themselves to rob the merchants of the Tang Dynasty."
"Furthermore, you also said that although Tubo, Tuyuhun, Western Turks, Xueyantuo, Goguryeo and other countries were frightened by the mighty armies of the Tang Dynasty, there is no guarantee that they will not make a counterattack one day when the Tang army is in decline.
The Tang Dynasty has once again plunged the people into the flames of war!" Qin Huaiyu looked at Fang Yiai and said, "Since they are disloyal, how could they give up the benefits of opening a mutual market and send spies to sneak into the Tang Dynasty to investigate the court and the military?
News in?”
The atmosphere that had been lively just now fell into a stifling silence because of Qin Huaiyu's reasonable words.
Du He and Changsun Huan immediately felt as if they had been poured over their heads from head to toe. In this cold winter month, they had a basin of ice-covered water poured over their heads. They were completely cold from head to toe, leaving only a little residual heat in their hearts.
Supports the vitality of the body.
Yes, if the brothers cannot reach a consensus on this matter and cannot make it feasible, what kind of capital and confidence can they have to persuade Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others related to this matter?
people?
Fang Yiai was lucky, because he knew the direction of history, and understood how to open up mutual markets and smooth business. In the open-minded Tang Dynasty, he should be able to implement it. What was missing was a detailed proposal. Qin Huaiyu was not hit by it, but fell into it.
I stopped thinking and tried hard to search for the vague and pitiful past life memories in my mind in addition to the rich medical knowledge.
Lu Yiren was still with Chai Shao in the Southwest Army and did not return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. Xue Rengui was worried about his wife's severe morning sickness and did not come to this brothers' gathering.
Therefore, after Fang Yiai, Changsun Huan and Du He fell silent one after another because of Qin Huaiyu's words, Qin Huaiyu also frowned speechlessly, thinking about Du He's comprehensive approach to proposing mutual trading. After all, that was the true meaning of Du He since he entered politics.
For the first time, he proposed his own solution to a major political issue.
Qin Huaiyu didn't want Du He's idea to be dead, and he also didn't want Fang Yiai, Du He, and Changsun Huan to be too hard hit. He put forward his rebuttal just because he wanted everyone to consider it.
Be more healthy, just in case anything happens in the future, and the three of them will be in trouble.
So, there were only five people sitting in the spacious box, and after the other four people fell silent one after another, the good appetite of Cheng Huailiang, who was wearing ears and mainly focused on eating, was even more highlighted.
The sounds of people eating meat and vegetables and the sounds of drinking wine and soup were extremely loud in the entire private room.
Seeing that the entire private room was silent except for the sound of eating, even though Cheng Hualiang was thick-skinned, he gradually felt embarrassed.
After scanning the four brothers in front of him who were affecting his appetite, Cheng Huailiang dropped the bare lamb leg bone in his hand, carelessly wiped two greasy bear paws on the tablecloth, picked up the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and rinsed it away.
The smell of mutton in it was fishy and greasy, and he said, "You can't just stop eating mutton for the rest of your life just because mutton is fishy and you're afraid of making you look bad."
Du He and Changsun Huan, who were a little frustrated, their eyes lit up when they heard this, and their depressed mood showed signs of easing.
Fang Yiai and Qin Huaiyu, who had come to their senses, both rolled their eyes at Cheng Hualiang. Damn it, don't talk randomly if you are too lazy to use your brain, even though what you said is quite to the point.
"No one said they don't support Xiaohe's proposal to open a mutual market. Huaiyu was just afraid that Xiaohe and the three of us were just thinking about the good things and ignoring the safety issues involved. We were afraid that if something happened, we would be involved again.
It was Xiao He who first suggested opening up the mutual market." From the corner of his eye, he noticed the low mood of Du He and Chang Sun Huan, and Fang Yiai spoke first and explained.
"Yes, the opening of the mutual trade will not only benefit the country and the people, but the most direct beneficiaries will be the soldiers guarding the frontiers in the places where the mutual trade is opened. I am also a soldier. I also don't know when I will switch to guarding the frontiers. The living conditions in the frontiers have improved because of the mutual trade. I
Of course I won't stop him, let alone if Xiao He brings something up, how can I object?" Qin Huaiyu said calmly.
"Who makes you think so hard? They all look pensive, silent, and don't think about food. It also affects my good appetite. Alas, it's a sin to let down such wonderful food." Cheng Huailiang said with a sad face.
Pretending.
One sentence made Fang Yiai and others have black lines on their heads. How did it affect his appetite? Almost one-third of the food on the table went into his stomach. In the entire box, he only had a small amount.
The floor was in a mess, both on the table and under the table, including the tablecloth.
Look at him again. His belt has been loosened by at least two jade buttons, his clothes are stretched out to the point where he seems to be opening his mouth automatically, and his bulging belly is comparable to that of a normal pregnant woman who is six months pregnant! He is a human being.
, as long as the eyes are not blind and the brain is not stupid, anyone can understand that this guy is just full of food! There is no place in the stomach to store food, so he has to stop talking and stop, how can he be influenced by others?
Lost your appetite?
It has to be said that the three children of the Cheng family, except for the eldest Cheng Huaimo, have a relatively good temper under the guidance of Mrs. Cheng. As for Cheng Hualiang and the third eldest Cheng Huaibi, not only are their looks almost identical copies of Cheng Yaojin's
, even his temperament is very different from Cheng Yaojin, all he owes is warmth.
It is not difficult for anyone to guess that Cheng Huailiang and Cheng Huaibi are definitely Cheng Yaojin's father-in-law, and there will not be even the slightest suspicion. Unlike Fang Yiai, even if he stands with Fang Xuanling and his wife, the two of them will not be together.
Everyone admitted that Fang Yiai was indeed their biological child. People who met her for the first time would still cast doubt on Fang Yiai.
This guy really can't be compared. He'll make people angry if he competes with him.
Therefore, as for Cheng Huailiang, as long as others do not threaten his family and the brothers he truly recognizes, or it is something that he is not interested in, you can't expect him to move his nimble and smooth head more than just eating.
.
It's just that when the brothers were talking, this kid, even if he only listened while concentrating on eating and drinking, could always come up with a to-the-point sentence when everyone was stuck in the conversation. This ability made several people
They all had to be convinced.
Of course, his last words made a few people grit their teeth and successfully aroused dissatisfaction in several people's hearts.
As for the consequences of committing public outrage, cough cough cough...
The four of them, Fang Yiai, exchanged glances quickly, looked maliciously at Cheng Huailiang, who was pretending to be sad, and all gathered around Cheng Huailiang, who was full of food.
"Hey, we agreed before that brothers can't fight in groups, especially when you have a freak like Fang Yiai around. You can't violate the brotherhood regulations. I'm going to make a serious protest! Don't come over here!
"Seeing that the situation was not right, Cheng Huailiang jumped over the chair neatly and jumped out to the open space behind him. His eyes kept searching for how to get out of the encirclement.
Obviously, this is not the first time that Fang Yiai and others have treated Cheng Hualiang like this. Among the people outflanking on the left is Qin Huaiyu, and on the right, Fang Yiai, who he calls a freak, is in charge. Behind him is the wall of the box, and in front of him is the wall of the box.
It was a large table, and the people near the table happened to be Fang Yiai and Qin Huaiyu!
"You're wrong. We don't call it a group fight, but a one-on-one fight. But it's different from other people's rules. It's just the four of us fighting against you." Fang Yiai waved her hands, kindly corrected Cheng Huailiang's mistake, and then
The four people rushed forward.
"Don't slap me in the face or stomach!" When the protest was ineffective, Cheng Huailiang could only fight for the last bit of power for himself. He paused with his head in his hands, put on a good cooperative attitude, and tried to win over the four people.
