It is now 639 AD, the thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Empire is rising.
Around the world, there are also two empires that are also rising during this period, one is Dashi and the other It's Tubo.
The rise of an empire is often indispensable for a wise monarch.
Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, Muhammad of the Great Eating Dynasty, and Songtsen Gampo of Tubo were all figures who lived in the same period.
At present, Dashi is quite far away from the Tang Dynasty, and between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, there are also Tuyuhun and Yangtong countries as buffers.
A few years later, when Dashi's sphere of influence continued to develop eastward, and Tubo also put down the civil strife and defeated the Yangtong Tuyuhun, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi Tubo would no longer be as harmonious as it is now.
Nothing happened.
I heard that in the following decades, Dashi teamed up with Tubo to attack the four counties of Hexi.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's national power weakened, and it also suffered losses in the war with them.
As a native of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yong naturally did not want to watch his country suffer.
This was not only related to the desire to win and national pride, but also because the war itself was too cruel.
It means countless deaths and suffering.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "Look, Sanlang, our brothers only have this little money on hand, and we have risked our lives to get it.
If we go by the price in their shop, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy a few kilograms of tea.
You and my brothers We got to know each other, can't you help me talk about it?"
Recently, these barbarians have been coming to Luo Yong for tea matters.
The main reason is that Luo Yong had been too close to them before, drinking and telling jokes, just like friends.
So at this time, many people wanted to take advantage of Luo Yong.
Luo used this relationship to get himself an internal price or something.
"Hey, you are putting me in such a difficult position.
Those shops are all opened by themselves, not government-run.
They also transport the tea from the south.
Although we are from the same hometown as me, how can I open this business?"
Mouth."
Luo Yong looked very embarrassed.
"They can do tea business here, and there will naturally be many places that rely on you, Saburo, in the future.
If you are willing to say something for us," these people cannot be dismissed so easily.
"It's hard to say."
Luo Yong waved his hand.
"It's hard to say anything.
All you need to do is say something for us.
When the time comes, no matter if they are willing to give you some advantages or not, we brothers will all admit it."
"I really can't open my mouth."
"Just tell us if we are friends.
Are the drinks we had earlier all in vain?"
"How did you say this?"
"Let's go, let's go.
Anyway, you have nothing to do now, so go to the shop with us."
"Hey hey" In the end, Luo Yong couldn't push him, so he had to be dragged to the tea shops by these nonsense merchants.
After several years of operation, Mawang and other companies have quite strong financial resources.
Naturally, they are not very impressive in a place like Chang'an City.
But here in Changle County, they can really crush the local small and medium-sized tycoons in a matter of minutes.
Except for a few local tycoons.
These people bought houses and land at the foot of the mountain near the wealthy residential area of Changle County.

Now they are just temporarily opening shops in a few original adobe yards.
Later, they will definitely It is to carry out large-scale construction projects.
Ma Wang and other merchants have opened several tea shops in this area.
When they first collected tea, they also collected tea for their own people, and when they transported tea, they also shipped tea for their own people.
In the past few days since these tea shops were opened, all the businessmen in Changle County have been running here all day long.
When it comes to shopping around, I don’t know how many rounds they have gone through, but few people have started to buy. , often several caravans gather together in tea shops to negotiate prices with these tea merchants from Lishi County.
Now the price has been negotiated for several rounds, but it still seems that it has not reached their psychological price.
When Luo Yong was dragged to Wangji Tea Shop by those Hu merchants, there were many people inside and outside the courtyard of Wang's house, and the streets outside were also bustling with people coming and going.
"Why is Sanlang here today?"
The person in charge of Li Shi from the Wang family this time was an old acquaintance of Luo Yong, Wang Jinhuai.
The canning business was very profitable, and Wang Jinhuai had been operating it in the south for several years.
Now, the money he earned alone was almost as much as the rest of the Wang family combined.
His status in the Wang family was naturally different from the past.
This time he wanted to handle the tea business, and no one from the Wang family could compete with him.
After all, he was also the main force collecting tea leaves in the south this spring.
"Nothing, it's just that these friends of mine want to buy tea.
I'll come with them to have a look."
Luo Yong smiled sheepishly.
"It turned out to be a friend of Sanlang.
I'm disrespectful and disrespectful.
Please invite some gentlemen."
Wang Jinhuai was also very considerate.
"The shop has three types of tea: top grade, medium grade, and low grade.
I don't know which one you guys want to buy."
After entering the main room filled with goods, Wang Jinhuai didn't ask the other guys in the shop to come over to receive him.
Instead, he personally Became a shopping guide.
"Medium-grade and low-grade are fine."
Those Hu merchants were happy, but also a little scared.
Originally they just wanted to take advantage of Luo Yong's relationship, but they never thought that the other party would be like this.
Take it seriously.
The brothers have just started running businesses in the past few years.
Due to lack of experience in the first two years, they did not make much money.
The situation is slightly better now, but compared with the Wang family, which is a merchant family with accumulated experience and connections, they He can almost only be regarded as a hawker, not even a merchant.
"I don't know how much they want to buy," Wang Jinhuai asked.
"Twenty pounds of medium-grade tea and fifty pounds of low-grade tea."
One of them replied.
"Shan, I'll have someone pick up the goods here."
Wang Jinhuai said.
"This price" these barbarians hesitated.
"Since we are Sanlang's friends, why do you need to worry about the price?"
Wang Jinhuai looked very cheerful.
When the waiter brought the tea they wanted to buy and calculated the price for them under Wang Jinhuai's signal, the Hu merchants didn't even want 60% of the original price.
They were extremely surprised for a while and thought to themselves.
Luo Sanlang's prestige among these Lishi merchants is probably higher than they imagined.
"Can I buy some more?"

The price is cheaper, and they have more money in their hands.
"Of course."
Wang Jinhuai laughed.
"Then let's get another one like this."
Those Hu merchants were even more happy.
So Wang Jinhuai called his waiters over again and asked them to fetch twenty kilograms of medium-grade tea and fifty kilograms of low-grade tea.
Those Hu merchants were very happy to buy so much tea at such a low price, and thanked them repeatedly, saying that they wanted to treat Luo Yong to a drink.
Luo Yong said that he was too busy these days, so he asked them to be welcome.
Let them wait until next year when they come to Changle County to eat again.
In a few days, they will enter the desert again, so they should make more preparations.
These Hu businessmen were both happy and moved.
They had earlier felt that Lishi Luo Sanlang was a little different from the other officials who studied.
They would not look down on them, small businessmen and hawkers, so they would say something to him.
He also enjoyed what he saw and heard in the Western Regions, and he didn't mind having rough food or drinking wine.
He could understand the difficulties faced by small traders like them, and he only hoped that officials like him would be promoted step by step over a long period of time.
These Hu merchants happily walked out of the courtyard with tea leaves.
Since Luo Yong entered the courtyard, many people in and outside the courtyard had been paying attention to what was happening on their side.
Those Hu merchants went out.
How much money was spent on silk and how much tea was bought, they were all watching helplessly, so how could they agree to it at this time?
"Might Sanro have forgotten that he had a drink with us and joked a while ago, why are we not Sanlang's friends?"
Then someone began to forcibly recognize their friends.
"This, they didn't come to me just now."
Speaking of which, Luo Yong actually had drinks with the caravan in front of him several times.
These people also bought a lot of liquor from him some time ago, so they can be considered a big customer. .
"Don't be angry, sir.
Since you are Sanlang's friend, you are naturally also my Wang's friend."
At this time, Wang Jinhuai quickly stepped forward to rescue Luo Yong.
"You see, Brother Wang said this."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"You're welcome then."
Hu Shang bowed his hands to Luo Yong, Wang Jinhuai and the others.
He was also very happy.
At this moment, he didn't know how much money he could save and how much more tea he could buy.
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Wang Jinhuai smiled and invited people into the main room.
When the others saw this, they thought this was a good opportunity, so they all shouted loudly, saying that they had had wine with Luo Yong, and the yard was noisy for a while.
Fortunately, Wang Jinhuai was also very talkative. , invited them into the main room one by one, and asked the waiters to come over, and asked them to settle with these people according to the price just now.
When Luo Yong saw that everyone in the courtyard was rushing into the main room to buy tea, he quickly looked for an opening and was about to escape.
However, he was caught before he even reached the entrance of the courtyard.
"Sanlang, come on, come with me to go to the Ma's Tea Walk."
A tall and thick man took Luo Yong's arm and walked to the tea shop next to it.
Luo Yong: Who are you?
I obviously don’t know you.
"We had a drink together last time, maybe you forgot?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it."

Infinitely good writing can be found in Jinjiang Literature City "Then help me talk to Namasiro."
"become."
Then soon, Ma's Tea Store also set off a craze for promotions and buying.
Then very quickly, Luo Yong was led through all the tea shops.
The shopkeepers in these shops were indeed very considerate of Luo Yong, and they all relaxed one after another and said yes.
The previous price over there is settled with them.
By the time Luo Yong came out of the last shop, someone had already brought a camel to load the goods on the street outside.
These Hu businessmen live in this era, and this is probably the first time in their lives that they have seen such a large-scale discount promotion.
They all laughed as if they had picked up money.
What happened today was naturally within the plan of Luo Yong and others.
Although tea has been widely recognized in Guazhou and Shazhou, the market in the Western Region has not yet been developed. .
If you want these Hu businessmen to spend all their time and energy to open up new markets, it will definitely not work if you don’t leave enough profit space for them.
The greater the profit, the harder these Hu businessmen will push.
People in the Western Regions have become accustomed to drinking tea and know the benefits of tea.
It will be time for these tea businesses to really make money.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City This big tea promotion event caused a lot of commotion in Changle County.
Some people even rushed to Jinchang, Dunhuang and other places to notify their relatives and friends or wealthy merchants with whom they had business dealings.
Until nightfall, people continued to come to Changle County.
Fortunately, they shipped enough tea from the south this time.
Even with this selling method, they were not afraid of short selling for a while.
Some people moved slower and did not catch up that day.
Early the next morning, another group of people went to the county government office to look for their friend Luo Sanlang.
As a result, the guard guarding the door said: "The county magistrate is busy with official duties and has no time to see guests today."
Then he took out a few palm-sized notes from his sleeve: "Bringing this note to the tea shop is no different from going to the tea shop in person with Magistrate Luo."
When everyone took the note and looked at it, the first thing that caught their eyes was three big words: "50% off."
There are three slightly smaller fonts at the back: "Friendly Price."
Above it is a line of small words: "This person is a good friend of Luo.
Please give me:" There is also a line of small words below: "Please use this coupon before August 30, the 13th year of Zhenguan.
It is invalid after expiration." gd1806102:
