Man Tanghong

Yang Miaoyan rolled her eyes speechlessly, but didn't say much.

Li Yuanji hurriedly said to Zhao Chengyong: "What are you doing here in a daze, why don't you leave?"

Zhao Chengyong quickly escaped from the temple as if he had received an amnesty.

Li Yuanji followed in the footsteps of Zhao Chengyong, and quickly fled from the front of the temple.

Yang Miaoyan waited until her husband ran away, then sighed speechlessly, and said to the worried Wang Ruan, "Sister, you don't have to worry too much, A Lang said that Xuan Ce will not be in danger, so you must There will be no danger."

The eldest room has set the tone, and it's not easy for her to confront others as she doesn't know which room it is.

He could only hesitate and said, "Sister, is Xuan Ce really safe?"

Yang Miaoyan nodded firmly and said, "Ah Lang said no, definitely not."

Wang Ruan continued to hesitate and said: "But... But my Wang family is only such an outstanding disciple as Xuan Ce, if there is any danger, I will not be able to explain it to my uncles."

Yang Miaoyan sighed, and said angrily: "If you think so, you Wang will never think about it in this lifetime."

Wang Ruan looked up at Yang Miaoyan in astonishment, not understanding the meaning of Yang Miaoyan's words.

Yang Miaoyan pointed out: "Look at A Lang, and then look at the other dignitaries in the court, which of them didn't risk their lives to get their wealth. I don't know how many families behind them are higher than your Wang family.

Even if they have to risk their lives to get rich, if your people from the Wang family cherish their lives too much, why should they keep pace with them?

And why do you have a high family status?
Do you really think that if you get close to the big tree of Alang, you can grow stronger without paying any price?
Even if Alang wants to sleep late at night, why do you, Mrs. Wang, sit back and enjoy the success? "

Wang Ruan lowered his head slowly at what Yang Miaoyan said.

Although she was still worried about Wang Xuance's safety, she totally agreed with Yang Miaoyan's words.

People only get rewards after paying a huge price. If Wang doesn't want to pay anything and just wants to get rewards, it is obviously impossible.

As Yang Miaoyan said, Li Yuanji had to risk his life to be able to be here today.

As Xiaoteng Xiaoman attached to Li Yuanji, Wang's dare to sit back and enjoy his success.

If the Wang family really has this intention, then even if Li Yuanji does not abandon the Wang family, Li Yuanji's successor will abandon the Wang family, and even uproot the Wang family to strengthen himself.

Therefore, if the Wang family wants to grow and develop into a wealthy family like the Five Surnames Qiwang and the Guanlong Eight Great Families, it must pay something, and it must pay more than these wealthy families.

"Understood?"

When Yang Miaoyan saw that Wang Ruan lowered her head and stopped talking, she knew that Wang Ruan understood what she said, and immediately didn't say anything else, but invited Wang Ruan to go with her to persuade Li Xiuning.

Compared to Wang Xuance, Yang Yuzhi, and Yang Sizhi, Chai Lingwu was the worst among them.

Because the Chai family was originally a wealthy family, Chai Lingwu also had a grandfather who was the emperor, an uncle who was the supervisor of the country, a mother who was the princess, and a father who was the Duke of the country.

Even if he is the second son, he can't inherit his father's title, and he can get a high official and rich salary under the support of his grandfather, uncle, mother, and father. There is no need to risk his life to pursue any credit.

After all, Jiangshan belonged to his grandfather's family, and he was the only grandson of his grandfather. Whether it was his grandfather or uncle, a little bit from the cracks between his fingers was enough for him to eat.

So he doesn't have to risk anything at all.

So his mother, Li Xiuning, had to speak properly.

……

When Yang Miaoyan led Wang Ruan to chase after Li Xiuning and intercede for her husband, Li Yuanji was hiding on the sea pool to share the spoils with Li Xiaogong.

The dividends earned from the first batch of border markets have already come down, and the bonuses earned from the sixth batch of water transportation have also been counted.

The dividends in the border market are far less than those in water transportation.

But the border market only opened one place, and it has just started to operate. Being able to make a profit is tantamount to a good start.

In comparison, water transport has been in operation for a long time. The water transport from Luoyang to Dizhou, and from Dizhou to Yangzhou, and then to Jiaozhou has gradually matured. Big ships shuttle back and forth on the canal, the Yellow River, and the sea without stopping. All have earned money, and the amazing bonus is also reasonable.

"I've always known that doing business with vassals makes money, but I didn't expect to make so much money. In just over a month, I've already made [-] guan.

Not more than 100 million guan in this year, and not more than 1000 million guan in ten years?

Wouldn't it be more profitable to open up a few more places? "

Li Xiaogong was sitting on the dragon boat, holding the documents that were rushed back from Daizhou Bian City in his hand, and said with a shocked expression on his face.

Although he had seen the document many times, he was still shocked when he read it again.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to this bumpkin.

Where did this come from? I was so shocked that I didn’t want to.

If all the border markets around Datang were opened up, the profits would not shock him to death.

Moreover, this is a trade between countries, between forces and forces, and a hundred thousand pennies are just a drizzle.

50 guan, to 100 million guan, that is the limit of Daizhou Bianshi.

After all, the target of Daizhou Border City is the Eastern Turks. Although it has not completely started to trade with the Eastern Turks, the dividends that the Turkic tribes outside Daizhou can contribute far exceed [-] habits.

A piece of good leather is worth a piece of linen of the same size in Turkic at most, but when it is transported to Luoyang or Chang'an, it can be exchanged for three or even more linen.

A sheep, in Turkic at most, can be exchanged for some salt or half an iron pot, but when it is transported to Luoyang or Chang'an, if you dare to exchange some salt or half an iron pot, they will kill you.

There are also various large livestock such as horses and cattle, and the highest profit can reach a hundred times or even more.

Therefore, even if a border market is facing four or five medium-sized and seven or eight small Turkic tribes, the monthly dividend it can contribute to Datang is far more than [-] guan.

So Daizhou Bian City made a profit of [-] Guan in the first month, which is really nothing.

Even a little low.

After all, the bulk of the transactions are controlled by the Datang officials behind the scenes. The Datang officials are not only the managers of the border markets, but also the tax collectors and participants.

He only earned one hundred thousand guan bonuses, which is really pitifully small.

If this is compared with Datang's tax revenue, it looks really impressive.

But in the actual transaction, maybe only the goods equivalent to a thousand high-quality horses were traded.

Is this a lot for several medium-sized Turkic tribes and several small Turkic tribes with tens of thousands of horses?
Not at all!

"Let your people step up their golden legs, go to a few Turkic tribes near the border city, and publicize our border market. Tell them, in our border city, apart from not being able to buy weapons, They have everything they want.

In this way, we can do bigger deals and get more dividends. "

After reading the bonus document brought by Li Xiaogong, Li Yuanji said helplessly.

Li Xiaogong stared blankly, and said in astonishment: "You already have a monthly income of [-], are you still not satisfied?"

In his opinion, [-] guan is already a big income.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and said, "I'll take [-] guan, and you'll share the rest with others. Do you still think it's too much?"

This time, Li Xiaogong fell silent.

Although this business was led by him, there were many people involved, including all the uncles and brothers who had sought justice with Li Yuan before.

Uncles like Li Shentong and Li Shenfu who did not participate, he had to take the initiative to send some filial piety, otherwise people would think that he regarded them as outsiders.

In this way, what can be divided into his hands is less than a thousand guan, or even less.

He is a county king with real power, and he personally went to the market to do business, and he can't make a thousand coins in a month, which is indeed less.

It's not enough shameful money to say it.

After all, with his current authority and status, not to mention the deduction of military pay and the blood of the soldiers, just receiving filial piety would not be enough for a month.

"Understood? If you understand it, let your people move."

Li Yuanji said something disgusting, put down the bonus documents from the border market, picked up the water transport bonus documents reported by Su Dingfang, and Ma Zhou's statistics, and flipped through them.

Li Xiaogong sat there without speaking, doubting his life.

"Look, Su Dingfang is much smarter than you."

After Li Yuanji had a rough look at the water transport bonus document, he showed it to Li Xiaogong.

Compared with the bonus documents in the border market, the water transport bonus documents are worthy of envy.

If the water transport from Luoyang to Yangzhou and from Luoyang to Chang'an is still being smoothed out and money is still being spent, the water transport bonus documents would make people even more jealous.

"Half a year! 150 million guan?! This has already caught up with my Datang tax!"

Li Xiaogong tightly held the water transportation bonus document, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Li Yuanji looked at the short table in front of him with his fingers, and said contemptuously: "To be precise, it is 350 million guan, of which 50 guan has been allocated to dredge water transportation, and 150 million guan is divided among you, and the remaining 150 million guan be mine."

"Impossible! This has already caught up with my tax for three years in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Xiaogong screamed, he couldn't believe it.

The number of 150 million guan is already enough to stimulate his nerves, and 350 million guan has already stimulated him into a neuropathy.

He didn't believe it at all.

Li Yuanji curled his lips, indicating to Li Xiaogong to read the details carefully.

Su Dingfang, Wu Shiyi and others are still doing water transportation in a satisfactory manner, but in terms of sea transportation, they are no longer satisfied with transporting food and other items, but directly start transporting gold, silver, gems, jade, ivory and other items.

This is tantamount to transporting money, and it would be strange not to make money.

The most important thing is that Su Dingfang, a black-bellied guy, even encouraged the soldiers on the ship to rob all kinds of things at sea, but they almost robbed all the sea-going ships that had nothing to do with Datang and wandered along the lines of Dizhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou over and over.

Some guys who wandered in the gray area of ​​the sea were all cleaned up by them.

If they hadn't mistakenly injured the Lin Yiguo envoys and frightened Lin Yiguo's envoys to protest and restrain themselves, it is estimated that they would have gained more.

After all, before the Central Plains had developed the land to the extreme, small countries such as Wa, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Linyi had already begun to enter the ocean.

Although it is still very primitive in terms of pioneering and sailing, people have already started to take risks at sea, explored at sea, and began to dig various treasures in the ocean.

So in the waters around Datang, there are actually quite a few of their ships, some official, some semi-official, and some unofficial.

As long as Datang destroys one of them and finds its lair, it can make a lot of money.

That is to say, Datang's navy is not very aggressive, and Datang's sea-going ships can't enter the deep ocean, so they can only walk on the seashore. The small countries can't provoke Datang, and they don't want to be attacked by Datang. Their excuses, that's why there wasn't much conflict.

Like the Japanese country, they also want to learn various skills of Datang. Except for a very few extremists, or guys who sit on the sky, most people maintain considerable respect for Datang.

Therefore, even if Datang cannot conquer them through the ocean, their official and semi-official ships will not take the initiative to turn against Datang.

Otherwise, if Datang's navy wanted to make a fortune at sea, they had to conquer others at sea first.
