Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 626 Unfavorable
Qin Tian was quick to use his wits, and finally solved this problem.

Li Shimin nodded after listening: "Qin Aiqing also has some truths, but how can we let those rich and powerful buy Ben Lei horses in large quantities? It's just that the court gives some subsidies, isn't it okay?"

Buying and selling are all about buying and selling. Someone can buy something, but someone has to sell it.

Even if the court encourages the dignitaries to buy horses, but the horses are in Dawan Kingdom, even if the merchants in the Western Regions sell them, how many can they have?
The key issue is to find a way to get people to transport the Ben Lei horses to Datang in large quantities for sale. Only in this way can Datang own the Ben Lei horses, and even the sale of them by merchants is not enough.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian. After thinking for a while, Qin Tian said, "Your Majesty, there are several methods available."

"Tell me about it."

"Businessmen are looking for profits. If the Benlei horse is profitable, people will naturally go to Dawan to buy the Benlei horse, and then transport it back to Chang'an City for sale. Therefore, as long as a few tricks are used, a large number of merchants can be attracted to do it. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this business, this matter, I will help you to do it."

When he said this, Qin Tian's heart was bleeding, because he was so kind to Li Shimin, so heartbroken, but Li Shimin wanted to imprison him in the imperial study and not let him go home .

Think about it, it's really chilling.

But Qin Tian's expression when he said this was a sense of righteousness, for Li Shimin's sake, he was willing to go all out.

Li Shimin's reaction was only mediocre, and he said, "Will the price of Ben Leima be raised?"

Since it is profitable, the price must be raised. If the price is high, no one will buy it.

Qin Tiandao: "Since the Holy Majesty wants to introduce Ben Leima, the price will definitely be raised, but it shouldn't be a big deal to those dignitaries."

Li Shimin nodded: "Go on."

"What's more, the Holy Majesty is openly recruiting buyers in the name of the imperial court. Anyone who wants to go to Thunder Horse can sign up at the imperial court and pay a certain deposit. After that, the imperial court will exclude special soldiers and merchants and go to the big Wanguo conducts group purchases, in this case, the price is cheap on the one hand, and the protection of the army can ensure safety on the other hand.”

As long as someone is willing to buy and they pay a deposit, the imperial court will be able to buy the horse back. Of course, the imperial court will not do this business. The imperial court is only responsible for safety, and the real business is still handed over to those merchants.

These merchants can have the deposits of those buyers, and they will pay to buy the horses back when the time comes, and the buyers will hand over the rest of the money to them, which is equivalent to the imperial court escorting the merchants.

Such a good thing, few businessmen will refuse, so this thing is absolutely feasible.

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that this method was good, so he nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this. I will announce this matter in the court tomorrow morning, and I will leave the rest to you, Qin Aiqing."

Qin Tian's cheeks twitched, but he quickly responded.

After the two monarchs and ministers said this, Qin Tian left the imperial study in a hurry.

When walking through the palace wall, Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I have quick wit, otherwise it would be a bad thing."

Qin Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, then returned home.
-
Morning the next day.

Li Shimin talked about the court's encouragement of the people to raise horses and the purchase of Ben Lei horses.

"People's family, anyone who raises horses can reduce taxes. If someone buys a good horse, such as a Ben Lei horse, etc., the imperial court will also give a certain amount of material subsidies."

Li Shimin didn't say much. Now, all he needs to do is let these people buy horses. As for the requisition in the future, it will not be too late. As long as there are horses, are you afraid that they will not be available to the court?

In the early morning court, after the decree was promulgated, many people were a little confused. They didn't know why the court suddenly encouraged horse breeding, but Li Jing, Li Ji and others understood a little bit.

Datang's cavalry is no good. Li Shimin is preparing to strengthen Datang's cavalry. As long as there are more horses, why worry about not having good horses?
Of course, the best way to raise horses is to have a horse farm, so that the ground is large, and the horses raised will be stronger and faster. Datang has several large horse farms, and many horses in the court are also Purchased from them.

However, although there are a few racecourses in the Tang Dynasty, they are still far behind the natural grassland racecourses of the Turks, which is why the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the cavalry of the Turks.

In fact, even if Ben Lei horses are bought back, they cannot become Maxima without regular training.

At the end of the morning dynasty, Qin Tian left the palace and prepared to return home. He wanted to play a play with a businessman and buy a batch of high-quality galloping horses from a businessman, and the price he offered was higher than the usual market price. .

As long as the merchants see this and learn that the imperial court encourages horse breeding, those merchants will flock to them. By then, there will definitely be more good horses in Datang.

However, when Qin Tian was calculating these things, Cheng Yaojin suddenly stopped him.

"Qin Tian, ​​the Holy Majesty encourages raising horses, do you have any good ideas on this matter?"

Cheng Yaojin blinked his eyes when he was talking, as if he had some good idea, Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said, "I don't have any idea, so maybe Duke Lu has some good idea?"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "The Holy Majesty encourages horse breeding. He must want to build a cavalry. At that time, there will be a lot of demand for horses. If we build a horse farm, we can sell the horses to the imperial court and make money for sure." ah."

Cheng Yaojin is very proud, this is a way he thinks is very profitable, but Qin Tian is speechless after listening to it, if they build a racecourse, I am afraid that they will be cheated to death by Li Shimin at that time, if he uses horses What if I don't give money?
According to Qin Tian's understanding of Li Shimin, it is really possible for him to do such a shameless thing, didn't he just do it yesterday?

Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Tian with anticipation: "Do you want to do it or not? My name is Captain Chi Gong, Qin Shubao and the others. Let's work together and make a fortune together. What a great business."

Cheng Yaojin's words were full of temptation, Qin Tian chuckled: "Grandpa Lu is really smart, he can even come up with such a profitable business, do it, definitely do it, have you found a good place?"

"Isn't the venue easy? As long as you do it, the venue is not a problem." Cheng Yaojin patted Qin Tian's shoulder as he said, and said, "We've made an agreement like this. Let's discuss it another day. This time, we will do something big." .”

Racecourses are very profitable, especially in the age when horses are needed, and now that the imperial court supports them, there is no need to worry that the horses will not be sold, and people like Cheng Yaojin also like horses.

Going for a stroll at the racecourse is a great pleasure in life.

Qin Tian didn't want to do this at first, but it might be really profitable.
