Chapter 64: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Business is all about buying and selling!
Of course, this is the original principle of business transactions.
Later, with the diversification of society, buying and selling became much more complicated, but this did not deviate from the scope of buying and selling.
This is the business model of this era, and the obstacle in the middle is transportation.
After a hundred miles, there will be no profit from selling firewood, and there will be no profit from trafficking grain after a thousand miles.
Hami is thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, so the types of goods that can be traded between them are very small.
Historically, only high-value things such as silk and tea are worth a trip for merchants in the Western Regions.
Now, Zhao Wan feels that red copper coins should also be a very good deal.
It is no secret that the Great Song Dynasty lacked copper coins, because the Central Plains did not produce copper, and the reason why there were such things as Jiaozi in China was basically that there were not enough copper coins.
There have been a large number of iron coins in Shuzhong, and there have also been one when ten, one when hundred, and one when the most powerful time there has been a thousand and a half pound of copper coins.
Tie Xinyuan had long thought that pulling a cart of copper coins from the Western Regions to the Great Song Dynasty would be more profitable than pulling a cart of agate to the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
The Song people's desire for high-quality copper coins was endless, and their favorite thing to do was to get a lot of good copper coins, and then bury them in the ground for their children and grandchildren to enjoy.
Those brass coins or bronze coins doped with lead and tin in the Great Song Dynasty are comparable to red copper coins that have no impurities in the Western Regions?
The lack of copper coins because of the overdevelopment of commerce was a noble disadvantage in this era.
At night in this era, the cities of the world are pitch black, and only the cities of the Great Song Dynasty are brightly lit and bright.
At night in this era, the cities of the world are quiet, and only the cities of the Great Song Dynasty are crowded, singing and laughing.
In this era, only the Great Song Dynasty in the world has more than a million megacities.
In this era, the largest cities in Europe, London, Britain, Paris, France, Venice, Florence and other cities in Italy were no more than 10,000 people.
When the 100,000 people in Baghdad were chanting for the evening class like thunder, the 1.5 million people in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty were eating, drinking, and merrymaking under the flickering lights.
Tie Xinyuan couldn't help but smile when he looked at Zhao Wan's impatientness, reached out and grabbed her slender waist and said, "Don't worry, there is more wealth in this world than you think, and it's easier to get than you think."
What do you want to do with those minted copper coins?
Take it back and re-smelt it, and it is better to buy a large number of uncast copper ingots, and their price is not high.
You can even customize the saddle-shaped copper ingots that can be placed on the camel's back, and as long as there is a camel team to the Great Song Dynasty, you can ask them to help you transport these copper ingots, and finally give them a little payment. ” Zhao Wan shook her head stubbornly and said, "No, you can't let others know the secret of making a fortune......
"Fools, people have known for a long time, but they can't sell the copper ingots in the Great Song Dynasty, you know, according to the "Song Criminal System", selling copper coins without permission, copper artifacts is a felony of traveling for 3,000 miles."
"Don't you?"
Zhao Wan was taken aback.
"This is a lot of good for Da Song, why not allow it?"
"There's no way, Da Song is so bullish."
Zhao Wan thought for a while and immediately said, "Oh, I know, this is for fear that those aliens will make money from the Great Song Dynasty." ” Tie Xinyuan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know, it should be more than this reason, more about the coinage right, the coinage right is the important weapon of the country, and the scholars think that others, especially those Hu people, are a humiliation to them after they get their hands dirty, so there is this inappropriate regulation." “ Zhao Wan smiled happily: "I am the eldest princess......"
Tie Xinyuan laughed and said, "The eldest princess naturally has no taboos!"
I just don't want you to bring too much ritual thinking to the Fragrance Country.
There must be rules, and there must be etiquette, even if the etiquette is forgotten, I was miserable when I accepted the etiquette, so don't use that set to bring disaster to the children here. ” Zhao Wan remembered the etiquette education she had received, her face was also a little pale, and she asked Tie Xinyuan uncertainly: "Is this really possible?"
” "Of course, human nature needs self-restraint, but it cannot be controlled and annihilated.
Just like the two of us, now is a good time for honey to blend oil, but because of some unreasonable things to suppress ourselves, it's not us who are sad?
” Zhao Wan said: "I think your first two sentences make sense, and the last two sentences are nonsense." ” The beauty is gone, and Tie Xinyuan feels very bored lying on the bed in the study alone.
After this kid came back from Yuli yesterday, his expression was very wrong, and he hurriedly reported that he had blown up the Tarim River, and the breach was so large that there was no possibility of blocking it.
The river that flowed to Yanqi is now flowing backwards......
Yesterday, Tie Xinyuan didn't ask that extremely tired guy much, today should be a very good time.
When I came to the outside of Shui'er's house, I found that the house was very lively, Huo'er, Fu'er, Ling'er, they all seemed to be there, and they were drinking.
Before he could enter the door, he heard the fire there comforting Shui'er.
"How many villages are flooded by water, that's something you can't control, didn't you say?
Are those villages empty villages with no people?
” Shui Er said in a deep voice: "Some of them still have people......
It's all old and weak people who can't go......
I didn't expect the water to be that big.

After a small opening was opened, the breach was two miles wide in one night, and now the Tarim River has been completely diverted to the south.
Not only that, but the flood also rushed into the Peacock River, and as a result, the Peacock River also broke its banks.
After carefully studying the embankment there, I realized that the embankment there was a natural embankment made of sediment, and a small opening could be washed out of a large breach.
Brother Huo, didn't you see it, the people of Yu Liyan came to the breach one after another, grabbing the sky and the earth one by one, begging the gods to return the water source they had taken away, the scene was really miserable. ” Fu'er said on the side: "I don't care about these, I just ask you, did the water of the Tarim River head towards Puchanghai as Yuan Ge'er expected?"
” Shui Er said weakly: "I have entered the Peacock River, so I will naturally follow the Peacock River all the way to the south, and I will definitely arrive at Puchanghai in the end." ” Fu'er sneered: "Now that the goal has been achieved, what are you still humming?"
Don't forget, there are more people here in Hami.
Brother Yuan has said that a swampy area and a flooded area are needed to block the progress of Qarakhan, why don't you want to think about our family in Hami, but worry about those who have nothing to do with it.
Next time there is such a thing, you don't have to go, stay in Hami to be your good old man, and my brother and I will go. ” Tie Xinyuan walked into the house, sat beside Shui'er and said to him: "Next time, Shui'er, Brother Qiao and I have protected you too well, and one by one you doesn't know the danger outside."
Fortunately, this time you have completed your military affairs, if you come back empty-handed, see that I don't kill you. ” When Shui'er saw Tie Xinyuan coming in, she immediately stood up, hanging her head and not daring to say a word.
"For the Western Regions, we are outsiders ourselves, and if outsiders want to gain a foothold here, they must be vicious, and if you are not vicious, you plan to use your heart to influence them?
If you don't get killed by them, I'll count you as powerful!
When Meng Yuanzhi and I opened up territory here, wasn't our hands covered with blood that time?
If you want to be merciful, if you want to carry out the way of the saints, you can, after our Hami country becomes the overlord of the Western Regions, and after the people here become our people, now, it is too far to think about this. ” Shui'er raised her head and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said: "The flood in Kaifeng made A-Niang lose her home and husband, let you lose your father, and let me lose my parents and relatives.
If I need to go to the battlefield, I can carry a knife on the water, and I am willing to die on the battlefield.
Now, it's really hard for me to use such a natural disaster to stop the enemy......"
Tie Xinyuan looked at Shui'er's tearful appearance, his heart was also very uncomfortable, and he said word by word: "Thousands of sins, all in my body, Shui'er, my brother, no matter what, survive first, and then talk about merit and sin!"
