Let's listen to his reality and then say, Hu Xiaotian deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Grain" Zan Buliu said: "Now the surrounding countries of Dakang are only afraid that no one will dare to trade grain and grass with Dakang. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. doesn't say that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, the businessman takes profit first, is Mr. willing to miss this great opportunity?"
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "The eating habits of different regions are also very different, the south of the Yongjiang River is dominated by rice, and the north of the Yongjiang River is dominated by pasta grains, and then go north, cross the Great Wall, and reach the territory of the Hu and Tura people, their staple food is beef and mutton.
Further north, the Moli people often eat a kind of potato shaped like a horse. ” Hu Xiaotian already understood when he heard Zan Buliu say this, and what Zan Buliu said must be potatoes.
If it weren't for Zan Buliu to mention this matter, Hu Xiaotian almost ignored it, he really hadn't seen anything like potatoes and tomatoes in today's era, in the era when shipping was still not developed enough, the news of various countries was relatively closed, and the economy and trade were expected to be subject to geographical restrictions.
In the eyes of the Central Plains countries, wheat and rice are the staple foods that the people rely on for their livelihood, and there are actually many ways to solve the problem of eating for the people.
Although Dayong secretly restricts the grain trade between the surrounding countries of Dakang and Dakang, it does not prohibit all economic and trade exchanges between Dakang, and this should be regarded as an ancient economic sanction.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr.
Zan is sure to get food" Zan Buliu said: "I don't dare to say that I am 100% sure, and I don't dare to say that I can solve the huge hole that Dakang is facing in terms of food, but Zan should have some ability to transport some grains that Dayong did not explicitly prohibit to Dakang." ” Hu Xiaotian looked at Zan Buliu with a smile and said, "Mr.
Zan has not thought about it if these things leak out?"
Zan Buliu said: "So Zan can't come forward, Dayong's intention to annex Dakang is known to the world, but if the world is unified, it may not be a good thing for us businessmen." ” Hu Xiaotian took a sip of the teacup, and said quietly: "I want to hear it in detail." ” Zan Buliu said: "Actually, whether it is in Dayong or Dakang.
Merchants have no status, the royal family does not value you personally, but your wealth, as long as they encounter something will always reach out to you, if you are generous, it is patriotic and loyal.
Otherwise, it is disagreeable.
He smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of the superiors, we businessmen are no different from pigs and sheep, fattened and waiting to be slaughtered, and they can use them whenever they want." ” Hu Xiaotian thought so, in fact, the Jinling Xu family was not like this, in the eyes of the Dakang royal family, the Jinling Xu family is undoubtedly a big fat sheep, and now it has sharpened its knives.
Zan Buliu said: "Although Zan is in Dayong, I am a Kang person, and my ancestors have also been officials in Dakang, although there are no vigorous political achievements.
There is no name in history, but he is indeed loyal and patriotic, and even sacrificed his life for Dakang, Dayong was also a part of Dakang in the past, and Xue Jiurang, the founding monarch of Dayong, was actually just a rebel general of Dakang. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr.
Zan wants to help Dakang" Zan Buliu said: "Dakang's qi is exhausted, although Zan has no vision, this matter can also be seen clearly, since Dakang will become fat in other people's mouths sooner or later."
Why don't we take the opportunity to take a few more bites and eat ourselves before anyone else else does?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing.
There is no business and no treachery, and Zan does not stay worthy of being a model.
He nodded and said, "What does Mr.
Zan think?"
Zan Buliu said: "I have business dealings with Blackbeard, Tura, and Moli, and I am sure that I can get the food you need from them, and you can buy cattle, sheep, and horses from Heihu and Tura, and these are food, and you can buy potatoes from Moli, although they are not as good as rice and wheat."
At least I can fight hunger, of course I won't come forward, but I have the ability to organize these foreign businessmen to come to Dakang to operate. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if these things can be organized, how to transport these goods into Dakang is a long way to go, and if you bypass Dayong, I'm afraid it will take twice as long."
"Zan Buliu's proposal is quite attractive, but when you think about it, it's not realistic.
Take Heihu as an example, Heihu and Dayong border, and the shortest way to do business with Heihu is through Dayong, which will also take at least three months to travel, not to mention a detour, even if the grain is transported to Dakang, I am afraid that the famine in Dakang has broken out.
Zan Buliu said: "Business should be thought of for a long time, if you buy from the local area, of course, it can't solve the urgent need, but Lord Hu should not forget that there are already many black-bearded merchants in Dayong, if these businessmen all know that Dakang is willing to buy grain with a lot of money, then they will flock to it." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you think Emperor Dayong will sit idly by and ignore this phenomenon?"
Zan Buliu said: "Lord Hu probably doesn't know, because of the matter of the four princes of the black beard, His Majesty has just signed an agreement with the black bearded people, mainly for the black bearded merchants, he promised to give the black bearded merchants the most preferential treatment, and will not interfere with the black bearded people to do business through Dayong."
He paused and said: "Heihu and Dakang used to be feuding with each other, after Dayong's independence, Dakang and Heihu were separated by Dayong, it can be said that Dayong has resisted a lot of wars for Dakang, these hundred years, there is little trade between Heihu and Dakang, I am willing to build this bridge for the two countries." ” Hu Xiaotian heard this and already understood Zan Buliu's true intentions, he wanted to help Dakang and Hei Hu to unite economically and deal with the increasingly powerful Dayong together, as a Dayong people, the only possibility to do this kind of thing is that he wants to be unfavorable to Dayong, his starting point is not to help Dakang is not easy to say, but one thing Hu Xiaotian can conclude that Zan Buliu is likely to be a Hei Hu spy.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What benefits can you get from it?"
Zan Buliu said: "Don't hide it from Lord Hu, the black Hu people get thirty percent of the benefits." ” Hu Xiaotianxin said that you are black enough, don't do anything, just be a middleman to pull the strings, and take away thirty percent of the profits, in the final analysis, it is still a pit Dakang, the goods sent by the black Hu people will undoubtedly take the opportunity to sell at a high price, but in this situation in front of him, Dakang can't buy food even if he has money, otherwise he wouldn't think about taking the sea route south to Luozon to open up this Liang Yun trade route, if the sea route is opened to the south, and the black Hu people can achieve trade to the north, even if it is worth buying some food at a high price.
A man who is about to starve to death, you ask him to move a mountain of gold for a steamed bun, and he is willing.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr.
Zan just have to do it with confidence, Hu will definitely provide Mr. with all possible conveniences." ” After sending Zan Buliu away, when Hu Xiaotian turned around and returned home, he met Yang Lingqi, who had been refreshed.
Yang Lingqi was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, although his figure was a little thin, but his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were beautiful, and he only had the elegant bearing of a literati.
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Brother Yang doesn't have to be so polite with me, how can you still get used to living here with me?"
Yang Lingqi said: "Thanks to Lord Hu's care, Ling Qi is grateful. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's too polite to have encountered a lot of things in the past two days, otherwise I would have gone to see Brother Yang a long time ago." ” Yang Lingqi said: "What happened to Master Hu, I don't know if Lingqi can share your worries for you."
Hu Xiaotian knew that he was resourceful and had superhuman insights into the general trend of the world, so he asked him to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "Last night, there was a civil unrest in the tomb of Emperor Dakang, and 50,000 laborers rebelled. ” Yang Lingqi said: "The world of those who win the hearts of the people, the emperor is doing this to push the people farther and farther, strange, he shouldn't be like this, he has fallen so much before, why hasn't he learned a lesson from it" Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm afraid I'm old and confused." ” Yang Lingqi said: "What adults see and hear in the court is different from what we see. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled: "You mean that my authorities are confused" Yang Lingqi said: "That's not what it means, what His Majesty did after the restoration shows that he still wants to bring Dakang out of the quagmire, for example, he still appoints these old ministers of the court, and he is not in a hurry to investigate the responsibility for betraying his courtiers in the past, and for example, he took out a lot of gold and silver from his private treasury and exempted a lot of taxes, how much time has passed, how can it suddenly become like this" Yang Lingqi frowned and was a little puzzled.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He was originally moody, and when he was just restored, he wanted to buy people's hearts, but now that the throne is stable, he will immediately revert to his old ways, and even intensify his exploitation of the people." ” Yang Lingqi said: "He can not be said to be useless for so many years, he has also done some things that are beneficial to Dakang, but what Master Hu said is possible, but I always feel that there is still a possibility." ” Hu Xiaotian blinked: "I want to hear it in detail" Yang Lingqi said: "I don't know if Lord Hu has noticed that the emperor rarely appears in public, and many things to the outside world are done by King Yongyang." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor's energy is not good, and he has no intention of political affairs, so he will hand over the government to King Yongyang to help deal with it." ” Yang Lingqi said: "It's not just this reason, although I don't know about King Yongyang, but since the emperor can rest assured that Dakang's court politics will teach her, this fourteen-year-old girl must have extraordinary ability, although the emperor handed over the power to her, but the age and experience of King Yongyang are not enough to convince the public, Lord Hu may not have paid attention to it, several things that benefit the people are all orders issued by King Yongyang himself, in fact, these things can be done by the emperor himself, but he still handed over the opportunity to win the hearts of the people to King Yongyang, This proves that the emperor is supporting the king of Yongyang and establishing her prestige in the hearts of his courtiers."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "To say that he is really good to Qiqi." ” At present, in Gannan tourism, the recent update is less, I hope you will understand, it is estimated that it will last about ten days, the octopus tries to do it continuously, it is rare to steal a leisure, please bear with me to be continued
