Chapter 113: Madness Everyone was talking, and Lu Zhu, who had made an oolong yesterday and almost didn't scare Wu Zheren to death, broke in: "Chief, Great Elder, we have already sent a message to the surrounding departments, and they are also very happy when they hear that a caravan has arrived, and they say that they will come over to trade this afternoon at most." ” "That would be great so we could leave tomorrow."
Li Daoan was overjoyed, he was shouldering a heavy responsibility this time, actually publicizing the wool policy of the Tang Dynasty, and calling on more people to take the initiative to go to Dadu Hufu to trade, otherwise with his caravan, even if he could really buy all the wool on the grassland, he would not be able to transport it back.
"Why are the guests in such a hurry to leave?"
Hearing that Li Daoan was leaving, the Great Elder's face suddenly changed: "Could it be that our Toude Department didn't entertain well?"
Got the guests angry?
” "No, no, no, Great Elder, you misunderstood, the hospitality of the Toude Department is very thorough, and I will never forget it."
Li Daoan hurriedly waved his hand and said helplessly: "I also want to stay here for a while, but I really have the king's order, if I delay here for too long, other tribes will burn the wool, and the loss of money is a trivial matter, delaying the major affairs of His Highness, then I will die and forgive his sins." ” "So you're worried about this, so I can only say you......
According to you Han Chinese, it should be called ......
It should be called unfounded, yes, that's the word. ” "What do you mean by that?"
Li Daoan said strangely.
"Lord Li Daoan, don't you know, our grassland wool processing is not always available, but we choose to burn it intensively when it snows in winter."
"Because it snows a lot on the grassland in winter, even if you burn the wool, it won't cause a fire, so as long as you can sell your goods before winter, you will definitely not worry about not having enough wool to buy," he explained with a smile. ” "So that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Li Daoan didn't expect that there would be this rule on the grassland, but it also gave him plenty of time, since he was appointed as the consul general of the caravan by Li Zhen, he has been holding on tightly in his heart, for fear that he would not do a good job and be punished by Li Zhen. “......”
In the afternoon, the Toude Department was very lively, just like rushing to the market, not only the tribes that had been notified by the Toude Department had come, but also some tribes who had received news from other channels and were far away, and the currency used was not all wool, but more live sheep, live cattle and horses.
In this case, Li Daoan also accepted it, but at the same time, he also told them that they could exchange it for wool next time, or they could directly pull the wool and go directly to the Turkic capital to trade, where the variety of goods was more abundant.
The price will also be a little higher, which is much more affordable than selling to caravans.
One can imagine how happy the various tribes will be when they get this news?
You must know that wool is basically like garbage in their eyes, not only is it time-consuming and laborious to shear sheep, but it is also very troublesome to dispose of the sheared wool, except for some of it is used to make felt, most of the rest is discarded and burned.
But now?
It's a surprise that the garbage in their eyes can be sold for money......
Li Daoan's plan to leave tomorrow was not implemented smoothly, because the surrounding tribes were too enthusiastic, and they didn't know if the previous war had increased their sense of crisis, or that they had never met such a large caravan, so they were almost all shopping with the mood of buying when they saw it, whether it was useful to themselves or not, in short, they bought it first and then said (this is a bit similar to a certain treasure's chopping party, saying that Double 11 is coming, Bensan, who is a single, has already prepared a knife to chop his hands, I don't know if you are very ready), Even if you can't use it, you can give it away or sell it or something.
Looking at the enthusiastic grassland people, Li Daoan really couldn't bear to leave (mainly because he was reluctant to let so many customers), so the original plan was completely bankrupt, but stayed in the Toude Department for three full days, and sent the last guest away.
When he counted the goods again, Li Daoan was horrified to find that his inventory was only half left, which means that the hundreds of truckloads of goods he brought this time were bought by crazy shoppers and 400 cars.
"It's crazy, I really didn't expect it."
Ding Shandi took a teapot and poured a big sip on the spout regardless of the image, he was really tired, he didn't stop to rest for a quarter of an hour in the past three days, he was working almost every moment, even if he was replaced, he stayed by the side and watched, for fear that someone would make a mistake.
"yes, I've never seen such a crazy buyer in my life."
Li Daoan leaned on the wheel and didn't want to move, Ding Shan was busy for three days, why didn't he rest for a while?
"Even the eastern and western cities of Chang'an have never seen such madness, right?"
"No, the East and West markets are mainly full of guests, but there has never been such a grand occasion."
Ding Shan is a native of Chang'an, so he naturally knows the situation, after all, it is the national capital, and the overall quality is still higher than that of other places.
Moreover, the people of Chang'an are well-informed, and if they want to have this kind of situation where Luoyang paper is expensive, it must be possible to have goods that people can't refuse, such as: glass and glass and glass.
Ding Shan knew about the existence of glass, in fact, glass had already been successfully refined, but because Li Zhen felt that he did not have the ability to keep the glass trade at that time, he temporarily suppressed it, and turned to the production of 'colored glass' in the same situation as glass (in fact, it was not colored glass at all, it was purely glass that did not remove impurities after refining, but because of impurities and colors, it looked more similar to colored glass) to make money.
But now it's different, Li Zhen made great contributions in the Turkic war, and was named the protector of the Turkic capital by Li Shimin, holding tens of thousands of elite soldiers, like a prince on one side, and no one dared to provoke easily.
In such a situation, Li Zhen, who was anxious to use money, took out the glass technology, and as a rare businessman under Li Zhen's command, Ding Shan naturally knew about glass.
"What's next?
With so much less cargo, do you still have to follow the original route?
"Shake off the idea of glass, this thing can't be spread to the grassland in a short time, Ding Shan returned to business.
"Of course."
Li Daoan gritted his teeth: "Although this accident happened, we may not be able to go too far, but we can also gain something, I don't believe that the next business can be so hot." ” "I want it to be so popular, so that we can go back and re-prepare the goods earlier, and besides, if such a big event happens here, it will definitely spread, at least there is no problem with everyone within a radius of 1,000 miles."
Ding Shan said with a smile: "You underestimate the speed of information spread on the grassland, our task this time is just propaganda, as long as everyone knows the news of the wool for goods, the task is completed, is it possible that His Highness still pursues us to sell too fast?"
Maybe we'll be rewarded for it. ” "Forget it, the reward or anything is a matter for the future, let's solve the current trouble first."
Li Daoan is talking about wool transportation, this time the wool he purchased is simply piled up into a mountain, according to Ding Shan's estimate, at least 30 million catties (this amount is a bit exaggerated, but so much wool according to Li Zhen's price, in fact, it is worth 1,500 yuan, anyway, it is also a big caravan, it is impossible to even have 1,500 yuan of goods), so much wool is definitely not carried around, he is ready to let some people bring back to the capital - 30 million catties of weight, Even if steel is placed there, there are nearly 20,000 cubic meters, not to mention cotton?
It was simply a small mountain, and with countless cattle, sheep and horses, it was impossible to transport them back at one time, so they could only turn around and call a large army to pull it.
On the fourth day, arrange for the spare car to pull away some of the wool and return to the Duhu Mansion, and they will go back at the same time as the representatives of the surrounding tribes, they are all to see how strong the Tang Dynasty's ability to digest the wool is, if they can really swallow it all, they will not sell the wool to the caravan again, but take the initiative to transport it to the Duhu Mansion, where it is much more cost-effective to sell it than to sell it to the caravan.
"They're gone, so let's go."

Glancing back at the convoy that was still submerged in the morning mist, Li Daoan and Wu Zheren said goodbye to them, and then led the caravan on the journey. ......
