Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord
Chapter 661
Looking at people who have never drunk spirits before, the embarrassment of drinking spirits for the first time is also an evil taste of Li Wangyou.
And Bai Mobi satisfies his evil taste very well… He habitually raises his head and pours a whole bowl of wine into his mouth. Then, there was a severe cough that was difficult to suppress.
Bai Mobi’s face flushed red and he kept coughing. It was obvious that he had tasted such a strong drink for the first time, so he was caught off guard and almost sprayed the drink directly out of his mouth.
It was a long time before Bai Mobi spit out a long sigh of alcohol: “Good drink, good drink! Someone still drank such a strong drink for the first time! Dare to ask Count of Hu, why is this wine? Name? Why did a certain person come to Chang’an City but never tasted it?”
“haha, the name of this wine is a burning knife, which means that when you drink your throat, it is like a hot knife. Its the strongest. Lao Bai, its normal for you to have never drunk this wine. This burning knife wine is sold in Chang’an City for only half a year. How do you think this wine will be popular if it is sold to the Western Regions?” Li Wangyou said with a big smile.
Bai Mobi eyes shined: “That’s nature! Count of Hu does not know that the winter in the Western Regions is the most bitter cold. If there are such spirits, I am afraid that you will be robbed crazy. If it can be sold to the Western Regions China, at least one hundred times the income. But I dont know where this burning knife wine is sold, and the price is what? Li Wangyou smiled and pointed to himself: All Great Tang, only I have burning knife wine. , This is the wine I brewed. If you want to sell this wine, Lao Bai, you naturally need to find me, haha.”
In fact, since the burning knife wine started to be sold in Chang’an City, Already a discerning merchant, began to traffic it to the Western Regions. It’s just that the number is not large, and it does not form a scale effect.
The output of this wine cannot increase, and it is even difficult to satisfy the many alcoholics in Chang’an City, let alone export outward.
Li Wangyou This is also a precaution. Considering that the output of burning knives will inevitably increase, it is natural to find a good market in advance. And he didn’t plan to simply sell these drinks to Hu Merchant in Chang’an City. Such profits would not satisfy Li Wangyou.
I ran into Bai Mobi today. The reason for inviting him to drink is because I think this person is interesting and interesting, and I also want to try whether his new ideas are feasible.
“Count of Hu, then I want to buy some of this burning knife wine this time and sell it to the Western Regions. I don’t know if I can?” Bai Mobi asked.
“This matter is not in a hurry, I will ask you something first.”
Li Wangyou dipped his finger in some wine and drew a schematic diagram on several cases: “Lao Bai, You see, if this is Ch_ng’n, go west from here to Dunhuang County, Shazhou on the Great Tang Longyou Road. There are official roads, right?”
Bai Mobi no I understand the meaning of Li Wangyou too much, but nodded, expressing approval.
“Your caravans in the Western Regions are usually repaired in Dunhuang County, then enter the desert, and then travel westward in the three directions of North Road, Middle Road, and South Road to different countries in the Western Regions. Is it?”
“Exactly.” Bai Mobi continued to be nodded.
Li Wangyou said with a smile: “From Chang’an City to Dunhuang County, the journey is a long way, about four thousand miles away. Old Bai, I ask you, if you can buy enough in Dunhuang County However, the price is five or six times more expensive than in Chang’an City. Are you willing? Of course, the Western goods you traffic in can also be sold in Dunhuang County, and the price will satisfy you.”
His words immediately made Bai Mobi excited and stared wide-eyed: “Count of Hu, how is this possible? Take it seriously? If this is the case, I am willing to wait. Even if you trade in Dunhuang County, the profit will be slightly reduced, but The journey has been shortened by half. If so, you can only go back and forth once a year, and you can go back and forth twice a year from Dunhuang County. On the contrary, the income will increase a lot.”
Li Wangyou nodded: “I think so too. Is it feasible? I still need to play His Highness. But when I think about it, this matter is beneficial to the court and merchants, and it can promote trade. Why not?”
“Count of Hu, if this happens, I will be grateful to the merchants!” Bai Mobi stood up and bowed to Li Wangyou respectfully.
On this Li Wangyou just smiled and waved his hand. This matter is only his idea. Whether it can be implemented depends on how Li Er and the leaders of the Imperial court think.
What he said to Bai Mobi was not a whim, but had been considered for a long time.
Now Great Tang has four-wheeled Carriage in hand. It is not difficult to transport goods from Ch_ng’n to Dunhuang County. There are official roads all the way through. The four-wheeled Carriage is after all the camel and horse teams of the Western Caravan, and its transportation capacity is simply incomparable.
The four-wheel Carriage can carry 2000 Jin, and it is easy to travel 200 miles a day. And a camel can carry only four hundred catties and travel less than a hundred miles a day.
Of course, camels are also useful for camels.
From Dunhuang County to the west, there is a desert and Gobi. Four-wheel Carriage is useless at all. That’s why Li Wangyou proposed to deliver the goods to Dunhuang County for trading.
The advantages of relocating the foreign trade center originally located in Ch_ng’n and Luoyang to Dunhuang County are self-evident.
First of all, Chaotang can make a fortune.
Four-wheel Carriage transports goods at low cost. Even if the daily copper consumption per carriage is always calculated, a round trip to Dunhuang County is 40-50 days, that is only 40-50 coins.
But even with a high number of burning knives as an example, in Chang’an City, the price of fighting wine is ten thousand, which is ten. And when it was shipped to Dunhuang County and sold for 50 tongs, that was the difference of 40 tongs. And a four-wheeled Carriage can transport nearly a hundred buckets of wine in one trip, and the benefits can be imagined.
What’s more, Carriage can also transport goods on the return journey, which is another big profit.
As long as Chaotang officials monopolized the transportation channel of four rounds of Carriage, the annual profit that can be made from it is too huge, so large that Li Wangyou is not clear.
Another advantage is to move the foreign trade center from Chang’an City to Dunhuang County. Through the fetters of huge interests, Li Er and the court officials can invest their eyes and strength in it. .
Once Dunhuang County prospered due to trade, Great Tang will inevitably invest a huge military force to firmly control the Western Regions and continue to increase the development of the Silk Road.
Li Wangyou believes that Great Tang should not be as closed as the Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations, and communicate with the countries of the Western Regions, and even more distant European countries, so that the Chinese civilization can absorb more nutrients and grow stronger. .
With today’s technological conditions, it is unrealistic to trade by sea, so the Silk Road on the road, it is even more important to make good use of development.
Li Wangyou didn’t even notice. Without advice, the longer he integrates into Great Tang, his thoughts are also changing with unnoticeable influence.
Originally, I just wanted to be a group of sweet wives and concubines, with thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless cows, horses, pigs and sheep, and slave servants, the little landlord who is like a cloud, but now he starts to unconsciously wonder how to make Great Tang, can benefit the people…
After asking Bai Mobi’s attitude towards this matter, Li Wangyou is more confident to convince Li Er.
He and Bai Mobi talked about each other until the evening drum rang and Li Wangyou left Bai Mobi’s contact information, before they separated.
It’s not early, Li Wangyou and the beauty boss are too lazy to return to Dingzhou Village, and they still live in the mansion of Returning Huafang.
But early the next morning, the door of Li Residence was knocked, the servant in the palace came to Tongbing, His Highness summoned Count of Hu into Taiji Palace Attending the Imperial court, and he was impeached again…
