Datang Longya

Chapter 265 Trading
"Not good." Ashina Ayi looked at Leng Feng playfully, expecting him to have any reason to decline.

"You... Lao Li! There is a banquet, and I want to entertain Princess Ashina!"

Leng Feng is very helpless, he really has nothing to do with Ashina Ayi now, he can only ask Lao Li to set a table for her.

Ashina Ayi, who won the victory, picked up the ice cream again, and looked at the sulking Leng Feng with a smile while eating. She liked this feeling of helplessness.

Leng Feng took a few deep breaths, suddenly remembered something, and said to Ashina Ayi: "Is Princess Ashina interested in doing business with me?"

Ashina Ayi was taken aback for a moment. How could Duke Xun, who was afraid of her like a tiger just now, take the initiative to discuss business with her?
"tell me the story."

Leng Feng patted Liu Shuwen, Liu Shuwen understood, and left the living room with Liu Shuya, leaving Ashina Ayi and Leng Feng alone.

"Princess Ashina," Leng Feng walked up to her, smiling slightly: "I wonder if Princess Ashina is interested in trading tea, salt, ironware, and silk?"

Hearing these three names, Ashina Ayi gently put the ice cream bowl on the table and nodded: "I'm interested, but if it's not a big business, then you don't need to mention it anymore."

She is a Turkic princess, so naturally she does not lack these things, only ordinary herdsmen need these things, but how many herdsmen are there?It's really useless if it's not a big business.

Leng Feng pulled his chair over and sat opposite Ashina Ayi: "Naturally, it's a big business, although ironware doesn't include weapons, but the items I mentioned can provide at least as much as those smuggled merchants' goods." More than a thousand times!"

"what?"

Ashina Ayi stood up, making too much movement and almost knocking down the chair.

More than a thousand times the goods of smuggled merchants!What is that concept?
The business of "smuggling" has been around for a very long time. Grassland people's demand for salt, ironware, silk cloth, and tea is endless, but these things are not treasured in the Central Plains, as long as they are transported to the grassland , which is the price of silver grade.

However, salt and iron utensils are all controlled by the imperial court, and they are strictly prohibited from appearing on camera.As the saying goes, "Birds die for food, and people die for wealth." Many businessmen realized this way of making money, and desperately violated the imperial court's ban, transporting goods to the grasslands, seeking huge profits.Fortunately, they still have a bit of patriotism, and they did not become "arms merchants".

There are very few people who are brave enough to violate the court's prohibition, so the goods transported to the grassland by a few merchants cannot even meet the needs of the nobles, let alone the common people.If Leng Feng can really provide those goods in large quantities, it will be a good thing for the grassland.

Ashina Ayi thought for a long time, and sat back again: "Duke Xi, I have to admit that your goods are very attractive, tell me, what do you want!"

There is no such thing as a free pie in the sky, and Duke Xun must have asked for such a tempting thing.

"This~" Leng Feng looked at Ashina Ayi who was showing a probing look, and smiled slightly: "I only want cattle and sheep!"

"what?"

Ashina Ayi did not expect that what Leng Feng wanted was only cattle and sheep, which are the most worthless things on the grassland.

Looking at the calm Leng Feng, Ashina Ayi clenched his fists and stared into his eyes: "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Leng Feng nodded.

"Whoo~"

Ashina Ayi breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't see the deception in Leng Feng's eyes, so it seems that he didn't lie to her.

"Tell me, how do you want to trade?"

After thinking for a while, Leng Feng said: "I will form a caravan and transport it to your Western Turks..."

"Turk! There is only one Turk in this world." Ashina Ayi suddenly interrupted Leng Feng's words.

"All right, Turkic, I will organize a caravan to go to you! Jue! Transport these things and let the herdsmen trade with them freely. You just need to ensure that other Turkic nobles will not intervene, and that my caravan members will not be affected. Hurt is fine. As a reward for taking advantage of your status, [-]% of the goods shipped every time belong to you, how about it?"

Ashina Ayi nodded, this method is good, and as the facilitator of this transaction, she can give priority to supplying herdsmen under her command.In this case, she should actually pay more.The [-]% of the "remuneration" was simply earned by her for nothing.

From the looks of it, this duke of the country is not very good at doing business.

Leng Feng looked at the thoughtful Ashina Ayi, and asked, "Does Princess Ashina have any questions?"

"No, let's make an agreement on this."

Ashina Ayi stood up and stretched out his slender right hand with five fingers.

Leng Feng also stretched out his right hand and gave her three high-fives.

This is the simplest ceremony to conclude a contract, but in their position, they don't need the constraints of paper handprints, and even high fives are a bit redundant.

Lao Li knocked on the living room door: "Master, Princess, the banquet is ready."

After he finished speaking, he avoided it from a distance. As a qualified butler, he should learn to distinguish what he should know and what he should not know.In the past, it was his duty to inform the host that the banquet was ready, and it was also his duty to withdraw immediately after speaking.

"The banquet is ready. Are you sure Princess Ashina will not invite your younger brother He Lu?" To be honest, Leng Feng was very interested in Ashina Helu. , he thought the name sounded familiar.

He didn't think of this person until he mentioned the deal with Grassland.

In 646, Ashina Helu led 3000 troops and fled to the Tang Dynasty in fear of crime.At that time, the Tang army was conquering Kucha, so Li Shimin appointed He Lu as the chief of the Kunqiu Road Marching, and marched into Kucha.Afterwards, He Lu was named the governor of Yaochi Dudu Mansion.

As a result, after Li Zhi came to the throne, he betrayed the independent Khan of the Tang Dynasty. It was not until 658 that Su Dingfang led an army to pacify him and offered to capture Zhaoling.

But Qibi Heli, who also defected to the Tang Dynasty, has always been devoted to his duty. Even if Li Shimin belched, he swore allegiance to Li Zhi and continued to fight on the battlefield. , was buried in Zhaoling, and was given the posthumous title of Lie.

This is a treatment that ordinary officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty can't enjoy!

Both of them surrendered to Datang, but they ended up with different results. This is a vivid portrayal of the word "grass on the wall".

Hearing Leng Feng mentioning her younger brother, Ashina Ayi couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Why does Gong Gong care about my younger brother so much? He is a deputy envoy, and he will be well received even in Honglu Temple, so don't worry about him."

Leng Feng said helplessly: "Then why do you insist on eating at my house? You have to know that my house has a lot of dishes, but they may not taste like yours."

　Well, it is even more difficult to add more, after all, the grades of this book are very average, and I have no motivation, but I can only follow suit~

　　In addition, my dad's birthday is tomorrow, my birthday is the day after tomorrow, and my brother... I will update it at the end of the month, um, update it.
