Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2079
After a heavy rain, the weather in Chang'an City was much fresher.

It was still hot, but not unbearably hot.

After Cheng Yaojin and others went down to court, they did not rush back to the mansion, but found a place to drink.

"I really didn't expect that kid Qin Tian made something like cement in Liangzhou City. With this thing, their life in Liangzhou City should be much easier."

After Cheng Yaojin drank a glass of wine, he couldn't help but said that his son is now in Liangzhou City. If Liangzhou City is prosperous, his son will not suffer. This is what he wants to see of.

But after he said this, Qin Shubao shook his head and said: "Qin Tian and the others can get a lot of money by selling cement, but I'm afraid it won't work if they want Liangzhou City to prosper. This matter is purchased by the imperial court. At that time, only people from our imperial court will go to Liangzhou City, and merchants will not go to Liangzhou City. If you want Liangzhou City to be prosperous, how easy is it?"

After Qin Shubao finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and felt that it made sense.

"What should I do?"

When everyone said this, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Li Ji. There is nothing they can do about this kind of thing, maybe Li Ji has it.

Being looked at by others, Li Ji smiled slightly and said: "Businessmen are looking for profits. If you want Liangzhou City to be prosperous, you just need to let the businessmen know that the cement in Liangzhou City is a best-selling product. They know that cement is easy to sell and make money. Naturally, they will go to Liangzhou City to purchase cement, and when they arrive in Liangzhou City, they find that many things in Liangzhou City are not bad, and it will be easy for Liangzhou City to develop."

Everyone knows this.

"I said Niubi, you can say what you have, it's useless to say everything."

Cheng Yaojin didn't like Li Ji's pedantic behavior, but Li Ji looked aggrieved, what did he say, what nonsense is there?
However, he was obviously used to Cheng Yaojin's temper, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and just continued: "The solution is very simple, we just let our people buy cement everywhere, and we have to pay a very high price." If these merchants know that cement can be sold at such a high price, they will definitely be willing to go to Liangzhou City to transport cement back."

When Li Ji said this, everyone understood.

"If you had said that earlier, it would have been clear." Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "This method is good, I think this method will work. After we go back, let our people buy it. cement, and let’s say, as much as you want, those merchants will definitely go to Liangzhou City to buy cement.”

"Yes, yes, let's do it like this, come on, keep drinking."

After a few people agreed in this way, they started to drink again, and they drank almost like this, so they didn't continue to drink, went back separately, and made arrangements.

One day later, almost everyone here in Chang'an City knew about the expansion of Chang'an City.

Moreover, the new city wall will use the cement invented by Qin Tian of Liangzhou City.

Many people don't know much about what cement is, but everyone knows that the things Qin Tian made are definitely not bad.

Moreover, it can be used to build city walls, so it must be a good thing.

People are just curious about such things, but some businessmen start to think about whether this thing will make money or not.

If they get it back, will anyone want it, and if they want it, what price will they give?
And just as they were thinking about it, some people in Chang'an City began to buy cement, and the price they paid for the cement was very high.

These people bought cement, and those businessmen who were already ready to make a move suddenly became excited.

"Do so many people want cement?"

"Then if we can transport some cement from Liangzhou City, wouldn't we be able to make a lot of money?"

"Sure, they ask such a high price, as long as we pull it back, we can make money."

"In that case, then we might as well sign a contract with these people, and then go to Liangzhou City to purchase cement."

"Yes, yes, we should also test these people to see if they are deceiving us."

Businessmen seek profits, and businessmen are sometimes suspicious. Many of the decisions they make are very rational, not impulsive.

After they discussed it, they went to find those who bought the cement.

"Are you going to buy cement?"

A businessman asked, the person who bought the cement was Cheng Yaojin, and everyone called him the third master.

The third master smiled and nodded: "Yes, we buy cement, and the more the better."

The third master is considered a prominent figure in the business world in Chang'an City, and most of his words are not false, so after hearing it for the first time, many people became excited. If the third master buys it, then as long as they can pull it back, they will definitely make money.

"Third Master, what do you need so much cement for?"

If the cement had no use, it would be really hard for them to believe that the third master would want so much cement.

This, the third master and the others had already expected it, so when they were questioned, they were still very calm. The third master smiled and said: "You guys, the news is not well-informed, the imperial court has decided to send Mr. Xu Jingzong Xu to Liangzhou City to purchase The cement is gone, but no matter how big the imperial court is, can they purchase the cement needed for the expansion of Chang'an City at one time? Obviously it is not enough, but they need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on a trip, the first time is okay, the second time, I'm afraid that Yixi officials in the court will object. What should I do at that time? They can only purchase from us merchants. I want to stock up on some cement so that I can sell it at a good price when the time comes, even if the court doesn't want it. The rich and powerful in Chang’an City, who doesn’t want to repair a facade, build a pool or something, these are all inseparable from cement, and cement will obviously become a trend in building houses in the future, so the more cement the better, if everyone wants to make money , I will go to transport these cements, and I will take as much as I want.”

The third master's explanation is reasonable and convincing. After he said this, everyone will not question anything, but if you don't question it, you don't question it. This contract still needs to be signed, otherwise they will get the cement back Well, if this third master suddenly doesn't want him anymore, then they will suffer a lot.

The imperial court needs cement, and it may take a long time before it is in short supply, and they are all small businessmen, so they don't have that long to stock up.

To be honest, the ones who can really stock up on goods are all powerful people. They don't have such strength yet, which is why the third master dared to tell them his thoughts.

Because even if you tell them, they can't do anything.

Money is key.
