Datang first village

A piece of silk, the military family members who came from Chang'an naturally knew about this silk. .

This is inferior silk, that is, the lower three categories.

Datang silk is divided into weave count, which is how many weaves are in one inch. This is the quality evaluation of the original fabric, then the flatness, and then the color comparison, and finally the overall texture.

This number of weaves already belongs to sparse weave.

Look at the military uniform my man is wearing. Although it is made of fine white linen, the price of this kind of fine white linen in Chang'an is about the same as that of this kind of inferior silk.

The five bolts of fine white hemp are naturally much better than those in Wude's reign.

However, ordinary people in Datang used this even if they were poorer, but those who were richer used it better.The raw material is linen cloth woven from Luzon's soft hemp core material, which is much better than this.

Only money is the most tangible thing, a basket of money.

Counting, there are [-] wen for the few, and [-] wen for the team leader.

There is a school lieutenant, even the lowest rank, which costs more than [-] characters.

"What do you choose? Those of us border guards. Whoever has received more than the usual salary for a month's military salary, almost everyone here has added [-]% of it. These clothes are also free. You don't have to eat for free. You can pick good ones and bad ones." .” After an old soldier took the things, he shouted a few words to the others.

All the sergeants went home with their shoulders.

It didn't even come to the next day, and several local ladies found enough excuses to sneak into the military area that afternoon.

The Japanese military area also has silk hair, but the quantity is not comparable to that of the Tang people.Their 5000 people did not send as much as these 300 people.

What are the ladies of Nanyang doing?

Just to buy clothes.You must know that Datang's current silk only arrives in Hong Kong every month, a thousand pieces.There are only nine ports in Nanyang, with a total of [-] horses per month, of which [-] horses are distributed to military subordinates, Japanese people, Goguryeo people, and Datang people next.

A bolt of silk is worth a thousand stone meters.The stone of Datang is not the stone of Wajima.

Color silk, double the price.

For a stone of rice, the purchase price on the wharf is [-] ren, that is to say, a bolt of silk is [-] guan.

To sell or not to sell.

The head ordered.All military belongings are not allowed to trade with Nanyang people.Waiting for command.

This is a military order, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty obeyed the military order unconditionally. The regiment leader immediately left the barracks and went to the Japanese barracks.For the visit of the top military attache in Palembang.The officials from top to bottom in the Japanese barracks went out to welcome them together.Posed enough.

Anyone who can serve as an official in the Japanese army must be able to speak and write Chinese.

"This is the first time I came to Palembang. When I joined the job, several people gave me rice wine, which was great, and I also brought some wine from Chang'an."

"Thank you, thank you very much." The waist of the Japanese captain was bent to almost ninety degrees.

The Japanese officer knows very well who is the real speaker here, even though this Captain of the Tang Dynasty doesn’t care about his duties, but he is also his subordinate in name, not to mention that he clearly knows that the people of the Tang Dynasty are of the same rank. The secretary is also nobler than himself, not to mention the military rank is half a rank higher than his own.

I am truly grateful for this gift.

The wine is Chang'an's wine, the real high-quality spirits.

After a few cups, the regiment leader from Chang'an asked, "In the past, did you ever send silk cuts in your camp?" Silk cuts are low-grade silk.

The Japanese captain was stunned for a moment, in his eyes it was already silk, which was much better than silk cutting.

But after thinking about it, this may be Datang's new standard. You must know that he also has a high-quality silk shirt for the banquet in Palembang.

"Yes, we also distributed some. We distributed [-] horses last month, and then rewarded another [-] horses. As a reward for our contribution to the security of Palembang, there are also [-] horses of fine white hemp and [-] horses of canned food." One." The Japanese captain immediately said everything.

"Any locals want to buy these silk cuts?"

"Yes, I have asked the Hong Kong Governor Yin Shangguan for instructions, and he said that what is sent is a personal item. It can be traded freely, but any transaction must be under the market standard that does not affect the goods in Hong Kong. The understanding of the lower official is that it cannot The selling price is lower than the silk at the port, so the one issued last month was traded at the standard of [-] Great Tang stones."

One thousand three hundred stone.

"The Nanyang people offer only one thousand shi, luckily I asked you."

"They are local aristocrats. After they bought them, they changed hands when they left the house. The price was increased by [-] or [-] shi. Because merchants in Nanyang are not allowed to approach the military residential area. You live in an aristocratic military area, let alone ordinary merchants. Close. Our first trade was a loss because we didn't understand it."

"Thirteen hundred stones?" the regiment leader asked again.

"It may be even higher, because the demand for silk in Nanyang is too great. As far as I know, merchants in Chang'an are more willing to sell first-class silk to the Western Regions, so Nanyang is full of inferior goods. But just like this, there are only [-] horses per month. This is the news I got from the Goguryeo people."

Goguryeo?The leader felt that his head was not enough.

After listening to the explanation of the Japanese captain, he understood that the Goguryeo people are in charge of taxation. They know that the silk chamber of commerce will limit the supply here, and they will definitely not increase the amount in the next three months. Some inferior silks are made into these inferior silks, and some amount may be added.

"[-] shi, I'll give it to you, and the more you earn will be yours. How about it?"

"No, you are giving money to the lower officials. Those silks can be sold to the camp on the same day. The lower officials dare not take such profits!"

"You worked hard to find the seller. I sold two hundred shi more, and I am satisfied. Make a friend, and we will work together here in the future." The head of Datang also said that he did not have too much ethnic respect in his heart. impression.

But this Japanese captain is different. He was in Izumo at the earliest, and he knows very well what kind of big man the head of the Yi family is.Facing an ordinary captain of the Tang Dynasty, he would nod and bow his head. He was in awe in front of the powerful regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and he knew his identity very well.

Even if there is a chance to get the identity card of Datang people.

Even if he had exactly the same military rank as the regiment commander, his status was still lower than that of the captain.

"Just do it like this. We can contact each other if there is any news."

The head of the group said a few polite words, got up and left.He would rather trust the Japanese than the Goguryeo people.Because he had fought against the Goguryeo people as a soldier, and Goguryeo was capricious, that thick-skinned could be compared to the Great Wall.On the contrary, it is the Japanese people. I heard that there are frequent earthquakes, tsunamis, and natural disasters on Wajima.

People living in such a place have extremely strong personalities.

And through the rumors in the army, the reputation of the Japanese is still good.

As the Japanese captain said, as long as there are goods, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them in Palembang.The delivery was completed on the same day, and the amount of rice was too much to be piled up in the military camp or the military area.

It doesn't work to change it to copper coins, there are also a lot of them.

Silver bars, gold bars, pearls.This is the final profit that the Japanese brought over.

On the same day, because of the reputation of the Japanese, a Datang army belonging to the Japanese military family joined forces. In name, the family self-help chamber of commerce is a business for the military family to earn a little money by themselves. The dowry of [-] strings in the hands of the Tang sergeant and the wine shop owner's daughter.

With a total of [-] guan, a super wine shop was set up in Palembang.

"Your Highness, these are all the materials for their winery, and they are waiting to be reported to the Ministry of War for approval. According to the new rules of the Ministry of War, military family members on border guards can do some small business, and the Ministry of War will protect them without paying taxes. But they must hand over the profits Twenty percent of the money will be given to the Ministry of War, one of which will be sold to Chang'an, and the other will be left in the local area."

Wu Yuanshuang handed in the report immediately.

"Have you checked the military regulations?"

"I have checked, and some people have checked the content of their talks. What they discussed most was within the military regulations. I know the consequences of violating military regulations, so I am very careful in doing things."

"Should we test it and let them know the profit of smuggling?" Wu Zhao said beside him.

"No!" Li Yuanxing immediately objected.

"This is called luring to commit a crime, and it is more hateful than fishing to enforce the law. And you can't make such an opening. I don't care what happens in the future. At least I can't do it when I am the King of Qin."

After opposing Wu Zhao's opinion, Li Yuanxing said to Wu Yuanshuang: "Go there yourself, tell them what can be done and what can't be done, and then propose a mechanism for mutual supervision. Praise the Japanese captain verbally, and tell them by the way He, with the increase in the number of people at the port, they should pay more attention to the security of Palembang.”

"Your Highness, I have received another piece of information!"

"Speak!" Li Yuanxing put down the teacup he had just picked up.I only heard Wu Yuanshuang said: "The Goguryeo people seem to be a little dissatisfied, because they can't open such a wine shop, and they want to do some small business. Without the support of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty, they can only do some hard work, so the Goguryeo people are against the Japanese. Opening a wine shop, I already have some resentment."

"Resentment?" Li Yuanxing was very interested in this word.

"Yes, it's resentment. The Goguryeo people tripled the bet to compete with the Wa people. They also gambled on half of the canned food for the next month."

"It doesn't matter, this matter has nothing to do with the Qin Palace. The Ministry of War can check it out. If there is nothing illegal, don't worry about it. Tell the regiment leader secretly that on the surface he is not allowed to show an attitude of supporting the Japanese. As a The top military attache here, he has to be impartial."

"Yes!" Wu Yuanshuang didn't understand what Qin Wang Li Yuanxing meant, but an order was an order, he didn't dare to do it, he had to carry it out. . )
