Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 278 Don't Earn Too Much

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks. Once the cold winter comes, the climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is even more unbearable. Even if the frontier soldiers have gradually become accustomed to the altitude sickness, they still feel a little unbearable. Homesickness and low morale, on the contrary, those Qiang people and Dangxiang people who live in a more difficult life on weekdays can still persist.

The Tian Khan political system implemented in the Tang Dynasty, at least on the surface, wanted to show that all younger brothers were treated equally. Therefore, the tents of the party and the Tang army were connected together, and there was no difference in treatment, but their tents were more or less broken. Although the party members are not enough to drag their families, but now they are more and more interested in living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are pots and pans, and many men even plunder those Xianbei people who the Tang people look down on to be their wives. Anyway, the strong grassland culture is king, and those Xianbei women have no objections.

Now these party members are very happy. The great Tian Khan promised them that after victory, they can herd horses and sheep along the Yellow River, which used to belong to the place with the most fertile water and grass in Tuyu, and everyone has a thick pile of salt in their pockets. Cited, I heard that this thing can turn into salt when it reaches the Central Plains.

This caused their chief, Tuoba Chici, to break into a cold sweat. You must know that they were very hesitant when the war started, and they almost helped Tuyuhun. Who made him and Murong Fuyun the son and daughter of relatives?

Originally, this battle in history was supposed to be the end of the party. Because Duan Zhixuan didn't dare to go deep into the desert after a small victory, he gave Murong Fuyunhe time to prepare and gather troops. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he betrayed Tian Khan.

It's all right now, not only does it not need to be buried with Tuyuhun, but also has a better pasture. As long as time passes, their party will definitely grow stronger, and their Tuoba tribe can also unify the party and become a Khan Dangdang. As for the in-laws?In the face of such a big event of the rise and fall of a clan, don't say it's your in-laws, your own father will kill you to see.

"Chief, chief, another businessman from the Central Plains has come, and he has brought some ironware, tea, and porcelain, and is looking for us to trade."

Tuoba Chici rubbed his temples with a wry smile and said, "What price, what do you want to exchange?"

"It's better to change the salt. It is said that the salt in the Central Plains has depreciated so much that it can no longer be replaced in the Green Gang. Although it is not as waste paper, it is not too bad. It is good to treat a stone as a bucket. , They said that we don't need to go to the Central Plains to make a deal, and just change it in their hands."

This is already a cliché, and several businessmen from the Central Plains have come here in the past two days.

"Hmph, it's ridiculous. Do you really think that our party members are all barbarians and fools? There were such rumors a month ago, which made our army panic. Now it seems that this is clearly a trick of profiteers from the Central Plains, making us believe that Yan Yin It’s worthless, so come and accept our Yanyin at a low price, so I won’t be fooled.”

The people below also flattered: "Chief, you are wise, the merchants in the Tang Dynasty are the most cunning and untrustworthy. If this salt quotation is really worthless, what are they doing all the way to this poor place?"

"That's right, these Tang merchants are really stupid, they thought they could fool us, so it's a waste of time to make a trip."

Tuoba Chici smiled and said: "It can't be said that the trip was in vain. These Central Plains businessmen are shocked. It's good to be able to deceive us. If they can't be deceived, we can trade at the normal price, and some can make money. The few who came before Isn’t that always the case with Bo, when he saw that he couldn’t be deceived, he still sold at the original price. This also shows in disguise that Yanyin is no problem in the Central Plains, even more popular than gold and silver, but if they want to spread this rumor, let them spread it. , we also help spread the word, then there are Baiqiang people and Qibi people, in case they believe it carelessly, we will also charge a little salt with a discount."

All the party members in the big tent laughed, praising their chief for being so smart.

Of course, those so-called merchants from the Central Plains are all spies of rumored yamen. Since the Guanzhong government soldiers returned home, rumors of the depreciation of salt have spread. Qin Hao had no choice but to quickly let the spies who stayed here pretend to be traders, and did the opposite.

Fortunately, the dissemination of information in the feudal society was too slow after all. This little cleverness really deceived them, and instead made them firmly believe in the strength of Yanyin in the Central Plains, and even any rumors came up later. Not seriously.

This trick made Li Chengqian applaud, and even Fang Xuanling repeatedly lamented how powerful Qin Hao, a rising star, was, and how easy it was to appease the biggest hidden danger of this Yanyin incident.

But a fake is a fake after all. This trick can buy two or three months at most. The weak point is that Yanyin has not been stabilized in the interior within two or three months. The mere party Xiang Baiqiang may not be considered anything in front of Datang, but Tian Khan's credit is priceless.

Fortunately, the word Qin Hao has more or less a little attribute bonus. Under the vigorous publicity of Qin Hao and Ma Zhou, everyone in the world knows that Qin Hao has taken over the decree from the sage to be responsible for the value preservation of Yanyin. Because this young man has created too many miracles, many big businessmen chose to keep Yanyin in their hands temporarily to wait and see the situation, which also allowed the value of Yanyin to rise slightly.

At this time, Qin Hao was sitting in the East Palace, sharing his tea group with Li Chengqian with a calm face. On the contrary, Yu Zhining, the prince Zuo Shuzi, was in a hurry. This month was Li Chengqian's opportunity and also his What a challenge you two have, how much heart you two have grown while working against the clock but enjoying tea leisurely.

On the contrary, Qin Hao smiled at him and said, "Master Yu, be careful, be careful."

"Oh, my prodigy of Qin, what time is this, you are still stable! Didn't you ask me to invite all the families and nobles to come to the East Palace to discuss matters? They are all here, why are you still here?" Have some tea."

Qin Hao's heart is actually more anxious than Yu Zhining's, but as the saying goes, rushing is not a business, the more you need people, the more you should show your score. Anyway, today he represents the supervisor. Crown Prince, even if the gang of bigwigs are asked to wait until dark, they have to endure it.

Sure enough, when Qin Hao finished drinking his tea, tidied up his appearance in a leisurely manner and went out, these usual bosses were all very enthusiastic, as if it wasn't Qin Hao who had something to ask them, but they had something to ask Qin Hao.

"Everyone, thank you for your trust. It's like this. The sage gave me a month to stabilize the price of the salt primer. I invite you all to come today, but I have something to ask you all."

"Boy Qin, just say what you want. This is the prince's business, the court's business, and the common people's business. My old Cheng has a duty to do it. We can do whatever you want us to do."

It was Cheng Yaojin who spoke, and because he arranged work for his son, his relationship was pretty good on weekdays. At this time, the first one to speak was to set the tone and rhythm. Qin Hao nodded and smiled at him to express his gratitude.

Continued: "The younger generation wants to beg you, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the common people, and for the sake of the crown prince and my subordinates, don't make too much money from this opportunity."

"Yes, yes, Chief, you are right."
