The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85
shamelessly ask for recommendation
"How?" Qian Dui asked.

"Good stuff, I'll take care of all these items. Shopkeeper Qian will charge you a reasonable price." A Hu merchant raised his head and said.

"How can you ask for all of them, I want two, the price is higher, no problem." Another Hu merchant hurriedly held the items in front of him in his arms, for fear of being snatched away.

The reactions of these Hu merchants were all within Qiandui's expectation. Qiandui smiled, stood up and said, "Each of you has one of these five items. What's the price?" Qiandui paused: "Each item is two thousand guan."

"Two thousand guan!" Everyone was dumbfounded, it was so expensive.

"It's more expensive." Qiandui said self-consciously: "But it's not the item itself that is valuable. When you buy these items back, they are all going to be shipped to the Western Regions for sale. The environment in the Western Regions must be You all know better than me what this object engraved with the imperial logo of the Tang Dynasty represents in the Western Regions, I wonder if you know it."

Several Hu merchants looked at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning of Qiandui.

"Last year, the Tang Dynasty went deep into the Turks. It was determined by the First World War. All the tribes on the grasslands joined the Tang Dynasty, and even many countries in the Western Regions sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to show their willingness to join the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, His Majesty gave these people The country has given generous gifts in return, but none of the objects in these gifts have royal symbols, and after the objects I brought out were transported to the Western Regions, which nobleman got them, there is a trace of the royal approval of the Tang Dynasty What do you mean?" Qiandui said foolishly, to put it bluntly, what he was selling this time was not an object, but the royal trademark, which was also an idea that he suddenly came up with when Li Chengqian said that the royal things were not easy to sell in the palace that day. , Now Datang is booming, and its influence on many countries in the Western Regions is also increasing. In Datang, this batch of goods is indeed tricky, but in the eyes of the barbarians, as long as you make up a set of rhetoric, a set of rhetoric will affect the nobles of the Western Regions. Tempting rhetoric, then the price is different.

Hearing Qiandui's explanation, these Hu merchants thought about it carefully, and it is indeed the same reason. The various pasts of the Western Regions were very keen on the objects of the Tang Dynasty. If these objects can represent the approval of the Tang royal family, Then I can sit on the ground and raise the price based on this.

After a few Hu merchants thought about it, they decided to take one piece first.

After some discussion, Qiandui was very satisfied with taking away [-] copper coins, and left a message to those Hu merchants. If he still wanted to buy this kind of thing, it would be the same place on the fifth day of next month. After all, Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't just send these things. These were only medium-quality ones, and there were still some small boutique items that hadn't been brought out yet. Those things hanging on their bodies were a symbol of noble status. Selling to the Western Regions, Qiandui would naturally consider killing them more.

To put it bluntly, what Qiandui was selling this time was nothing more than the reputation of Li Tang's family. Those Hu merchants were more informed than anyone else, so they naturally knew that many countries in the Western Regions were beginning to bow down to Datang one after another.

The price of two thousand strings sounded a bit appalling at first, not only did the Hu merchants get a little confused, but even Xuan Shijing didn't quite believe it when he heard it.

In the study, Qian Dui sat opposite Xuan Shijing, and placed a copied bill in front of Xuan Shijing.

"Five items, you brought back [-] guan!" Seeing the number recorded on the bill, Xuan Shijing was stunned, and read it several times to confirm that the money pile said [-] guan of copper coins. Then he raised his head and looked at the pile of money.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no Arabic numerals, and the characters for accounting were all square Chinese characters, and there was no mistake in writing extra zeros.Even so, Xuan Shijing still didn't believe it. According to the estimation in his heart, those things would be over at most three thousand guan, but as soon as Qiandui was sold, the price tripled.

"Yes, Young Master, I'm asking those Hu merchants for two thousand guan for each item. On the fifth day of next month, I will trade again in Xuanwulou. By then, those Hu merchants will probably spread the news. I'll go there again." When posting posts to other Hu merchants, there will naturally be people who are willing to charge a higher price." Qian Dui said with a smile: "Young Master is indeed right, Hu people are stupid and have a lot of money, I just said it casually With a few words, their bottom line was roughly drawn. The kings of the Western Regions are very rich. Over there, the exquisite objects of our Tang Dynasty are hard to find. The things sent by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Wei are small As soon as they fooled around, those barbarians happily paid for the goods. The sixteen countries in the Western Regions are a big piece of fat. Unfortunately, the government does not have enough strength to contact this place. The only way to get the goods is through the merchants in Chang'an. .”

Sixteen countries in the Western Regions. Xuan Shijing thought about it carefully. The Western Regions, that is, the Middle East in the future. In modern times, there are many local tyrants who made their fortunes by selling oil. But it is the Tang Dynasty now, and that place is not a desert. It is the Gobi, how can it be as rich as those barbarians describe.

After all, Xuan Shijing still doesn't understand the Tang Dynasty or the Western Regions. If he does, he will know why the nobles in the Western Regions are so rich. In the end, it was cheaper for His Majesty Li Er. As a result, His Majesty Li Er is a master who has money and can't spend it.

"It seems that the Crown Prince and the King of Wei have the money to build the Nuan Pavilion. There is a total of [-] guan. The family will pay [-]. The rest, I think it will be enough after their things are sold." Xuan Shijing Said: "By the way, how is the promotion of the new paper going in the past two days?"

"I selected a few suitable people from the group of people who came from Erxianzhuang, and took new paper to Luoyang, Shandong and other places. There have been echoes. The money is being transported to Chang'an. Initially, it should be There are more than 6000 guan." Qiandui replied.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Send more people, the money transported to Chang'an is not a small amount, and our people are making a lot of noise over there. It is inevitable that we will be targeted. It is better to be careful."

"Young Lord, don't worry, the people who are sent to escort are all good players in the Zhuangzi. It is no problem to have one against ten." On this point, Qiandui is still very confident, after all, the people who came over from Erxianzhuang are It was trained by Nian Xuan Mingde and Zhong Zishuo in the early morning.

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years. All the affairs of the Hou Mansion have just started. Compared with those old foxes in Chang'an City, we are still very immature. So, Xiaoqian, you must mature quickly." Xuan Shijing said.

Being despised by a child. This is what Qiandui is thinking at this time. Although his young master is very young, why does he feel that the young master is much more mature than himself?This made Qiandui very puzzled, so he would hear what Xuan Shijing said in his heart. Since his young master said to make himself mature as soon as possible, then he should work hard. After all, after arriving in Chang'an, I really feel what it means to let the fish leap when the sea is wide, and let the birds fly when the sky is high.
