Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

"A commercial route on the road?" Da Qinmao looked at Fang Guoshou and then at the Buddha statue inlaid with glass beads on the lotus platform, unable to move his eyes away.

In fact, after the maritime trade was blocked, it was not that Da Qinmao had not considered land trade.

However, the road to trade with the Tang Dynasty was blocked by the puppet Yan, and Da Qinmao also had the idea of ​​detouring from the Mobei grassland to open up business routes in the Western Regions.

But this road is too far away, and there are too many unstable factors along the way in Modong, so Da Qinmao gave up this idea.

But he didn't expect Longyou to come to the door by himself.

Fang Guoshou said, "Our products in Longyou are no worse than those in Jiangnan."

"Your Majesty, this is our dyed cloth from Longyou."

Fang Guoshou seemed to be the host of TV shopping, and picked up a bolt of bright red dyed cloth in the box.

Fang Guoshou showed and said: "Dyeing cloth is a product of Longyou. It is made of long-staple cotton. It is smoother than linen but more durable than silk."

"And this dye is also the latest product of Longyou, and it can be washed many times without fading."

The servant handed the bright red dyed cloth to Da Qinmao.

Touching the soft cotton cloth, Da Qinmao looked at the uniform red color on the cloth, and the feel was indeed much better than the linen cloth.

Moreover, cotton cloth is thicker than silk, so it is naturally more suitable for the cold north.

Nowadays, the emperor and ministers of Japan like gorgeous clothes, and this kind of red dyed cloth will definitely be very popular.

But Da Qinmao is not a fool. Although Longyou's products are good, if they can't be shipped, or the shipping cost is too high, then the business won't work either.

Da Qinmao asked: "From Longyou to Bohai Sea, across the Mobei Grassland, I don't know how King Jianning will trade."

If Bohai was to transport the grain to Longyou, then the deal would naturally be impossible to negotiate.

Such a long road still transports food by land, and the loss must be staggering.

Moreover, organizing the transportation of food will not only cause huge losses, but also require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Although the Bohai State is known as the Prosperous State of the Eastern Sea, it is actually a small country with an underpopulated population.

It was also because there was no threat that Datang only included him in the tribute system, instead of constantly punishing him like Goguryeo.

Fang Guoshou said with a smile: "We in Longyou are going to build a market in Songmo. As long as Da Qinmao transports the grain to Songmo, he can trade with us in Longyou."

Just need to ship to Songmo?

Da Qinmao began to be tempted.

Songmo is in the west of Liaoning, not far from Bohai Kingdom.

It didn't seem to take too long to deliver the grain to Songmo, which Da Qinmao could accept.

If Longyou can really build a market in Songmo and sell Longyou's goods stably, the grain in Bohai Sea will also have a market.

Although dyed cloth is not as comfortable as silk, but the color is more gorgeous and bright, and it will definitely sell for a price.

Today, Buddhism in Japan is very prosperous, and even the royal family is a devout Buddhist believer.

Longyou's advanced imaging technology may be able to make a fortune in Japan.

Da Qinmao, who has always been proficient in business, agreed to the deal immediately.

Bohai State only needs to deliver grain to Songmo Mansion.

Merchants in Longyou will open a trading post in Songmo Mansion, and the two parties will exchange goods at the trading post in Songmo Mansion.

As long as the first transaction can be completed, the Bohai Kingdom will deliver grain to Songmo Mansion on a regular basis.

Today's Buddha statues and cloth are all gifts from King Jianning to you, the King of Bohai County. Fang Guoshou, as the trade representative of Datang, stayed in the capital of Bohai Kingdom.

Da Qinmao, King of Bohai County, also believed in Buddhism, and he soon discovered that the envoy from Longyou was extraordinary.

Fang Guoshou is not only proficient in literature and history, but also in Buddhism.

Da Qinmao summoned monks in Bohai to give lectures, but Fang Guoshou argued against them one by one. Da Qinmao respected Fang Guoshou even more, and even gave Fang Guoshou a mansion next to the Black Water Hall.

——On the grassland from Moxi to Modong—

Temporary military camps at trading stations have been set up, strung together into a pearl necklace, and hung on the northern grasslands of the Tang Empire.

After the player's radish and stick, the tribes near these trading posts were either incorporated like the Yelu Department, or were driven away by the player's advance team.

Player caravans have delivered some canned rations to these temporary trading posts.

A passage across the grasslands to send troops to Liaodong has been initially completed.

Modong Development Company finally has some assets.

The entire Modong Development Company will become the issuer of this war bond and raise the funds needed for this great roundabout strategy from the Longyou society.

Jiang Lun, director of Wangfu Bank, personally came to the trade union headquarters of "Wen Chao Gong's Home".

Now Wen Chaogong's family has almost mastered the public opinion in Longyou and Hexi.

If you want to promote the bonds of Modong Development Company, you will naturally look for players from Wen Chao Gong's House.

The headquarters of Wen Chaogong's House in Shazhou City is a five-story wooden high-rise, with the signboard of "Longyou Daily" hanging on the gate.

The editorial department of "Longyou Daily" is an institution under the Dudu Mansion, and it is the largest newspaper in Longyou.

"Longyou Daily" covers the entire Longyou region, with branches in every big city.

As the mouthpiece of the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Lun could not do without the support of the newspaper if he wanted to issue the bonds of the Modong Development Company.

The Modong Development Company finally got the approval of the Dudufu. The company was granted "development, colonization, trade and partial independent military powers, and partial independent diplomatic rights with the tribes in Modong" on the Modong Grassland.

Jiang Lun almost copied the articles of association of the East India Company, and the structure of the Modong Development Company was similar to that of the East India Company.

The company has a manager, the first manager is Pang Yawei, and his job is to maintain the daily work of Modong Development Company.

The company also has 12 directors, three of whom are appointed by the Governor's Mansion, three of which are owned by the Wangfu Bank, three of the company's internal management, and three of the major shareholder representatives.

The trading posts and temporary military camps on the Modong Grassland developed by the players were allocated to the Modong Development Company as the company's assets.

Modong Development Company can also set up a company guard team to purchase firearms and weapons from Longyou to ensure the safety of the company's property on the grassland.

Jiang Lun came out of the "Longyou Daily" newspaper office satisfied, and the Wenchaogong's House labor union immediately agreed to Wangfu Bank's request for publicity.

The propaganda tools of the entire Longyou started to be launched, and the Modong Development Company suddenly became the hottest topic in Longyou today.

At the beginning of the lights, in a luxury restaurant on the streets of Shazhou.

Today, Yang Yan took the initiative to invite Liu Yan out for dinner, and Yang Yan specially found a private box.

After finishing the business at hand, Liu Yan said to Yang Yan ashamedly after entering the box: "I'm sorry, Brother Gongnan, I'm late!"

Although Yang Yan changed his official robes, his casual clothes were also made of silk, and he looked like a rich man.

In contrast, Liu Yan, who is the secretary of the governor's mansion, is much simpler.

Liu Yan's casual clothes are made of ordinary cotton, but he is very handsome, and the waiters in the restaurant dare not neglect him.

"Brother Shi'an, I have just arrived, hurry up and take a seat."

After the two sat down, the naturally beautiful maid brought appetizers.

Then these maids exited the room one by one, leaving room for the two to talk.

Liu Yan is the secretary of the Governor's Mansion, responsible for drafting official documents for King Jianning. Although his position is not high, he is the closest minister of King Jianning to the center of power.

However, Liu Yan doesn't like luxury in character, and rarely goes to such occasions.

Yang Yan, on the other hand, admires luxury. He works under Jiang Lun, who is responsible for the taxation of salt and iron. He handles large sums of money every day, and he pays more and more attention to refined life.

The two came to Longyou together, but these days the two have less and less contact with each other. Today, Yang Yan suddenly wanted to entertain Liu Yan, and it was at such an expensive place, which made Liu Yan very puzzled.

After eating appetizers to fill their stomachs, the two chatted about their recent life, and then Yang Yan opened up the chatterbox.

"Brother Shi'an, have you heard about the public debt of Modong Development Company?"

Liu Yan nodded. He personally handled many documents of Modong Development Company, so he naturally knew the inside story of the issuance of public bonds.

Yang Yan said in a low voice: "I heard from Jiang Yuansi that the Modong Development Company is just a cover this time. It is Longyou who wants to bypass the grassland and use troops against Liaodong."

Liu Yan lowered her head and did not answer Yang Yan's question directly.

Yang Yan is also a person with seven apertures and an exquisite heart. He immediately understood that Liu Yan was acquiescing to this statement.

The idea of ​​making Longyou's army invincible after successive victories against Tubo and Uyghur has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Every victory will bring a lot of benefits to Longyou. Under the subtle influence of major newspapers, the warlike atmosphere in Longyou is on the rise.

Even Yang Yan, who works in the economic department, can hear a lot of belligerent remarks from his colleagues every day.

It was confirmed that Longyou was going to continue to use troops, and Yang Yan became excited.

He went on to say: "Brother Shi'an, do you think this bond of Modong Development Company can be bought?"

Liu Yan turned to look at Yang Yan and said, "Brother Gongnan, you work in the bank, right? This bond is also underwritten by Wangfu Bank. Do you still have to ask me if you want to buy it?"

Liu Yan asked back, but Yang Yan, who had already tempered his thick skin, said:

"The profit of this Modong Development Company is not low. Jiang Siyuan often said: 'The higher the profit, the higher the risk'. My family background is too thin. If the investment fails, I will have to rely on Gongnan in the future." Brother helped."

Liu Yan smiled slightly, Yang Yan's family background is not too thin.

With the help of the Wangfu Bank, Yang Yan invested in several workshops with high returns and made a fortune.

Otherwise, with his salary, how could he live a life of silk and satin.

It seems that Yang Yan has heard the news and is going to use all his wealth to invest in the bonds of Modong Development Company.

Liu Yan said: "I can't reveal the secrets of the Governor's Mansion, but I heard that several big chambers of commerce in Shazhou have raised funds and are going to snap up the bonds of Modong Development Company."

Yang Yan immediately understood Liu Yan's meaning, he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then let's wish Your Highness good martial arts!"
