Chapter 420: Winter is coming to discuss and return

The return of twelve luxury cargo ships at Luzhou Wharf has set off a new round of sea craze in Luzhou.

Adhering to the theory of being brave and starving to death, many people who did not dare to go out to sea began to try it out.

Before all the goods on the twelve ships were unloaded into the warehouse of the dock, merchants from all over the country who were doing business in Luzhou rushed to the dock as quickly as possible.

One is to see what the shipment is and how much it is worth, and the other is to find out where the fleet has been and how dangerous it has encountered.

The combined merchants of the twelve fleets of ships were also praised by countless people, and they all felt like they had a life of surviving disaster while they were happy.

"Li Dongjia, Li Dongjia will walk slowly. I don't know if I have some time in the near future. We will book a banquet at the Haiyunjian flagship store in the capital, and invite Li Dongjia to enjoy the scenery."

As the leader of the twelve ships, Li Mian had just got off the ship and before he could say a few words to the people from the Chamber of Commerce, someone came over and sent an invitation.

Listening to other people's words and looking at the envious and jealous eyes when others looked over, Li Mian suddenly felt proud. When he joined forces with other people to rent a big boat here, many people called him stupid, and before going to sea, he even heard a lot of voices that belittled him.

Now that I'm back, oh, this life is really unpredictable.

After carefully looking at the person invited, Li Mian knew that this person was the one who had never heard of bad things from him. He shook his head and gave the other party a smile, "I'm tired on the way, and I really can't get enough time recently. Why not wait last month and wait until I'll have a rest before talking about other things?"

"Li Dong's family, don't be afraid of being tired. I'm ready to rest. Let me tell you where the fleet has been. I'll go and see the vast world outside."

This man was not giving up, as if he had not heard the meaning of rejection in Li Mian's words.

Li Mian seemed a little impatient and replied decisively: "No need, I have arranged a rest place. The wind and waves outside are so high, where can I remember the journey? What's more, I'm not prepared enough for those who go out to sea, let alone drawing a chart. Let me give you a break, please let me pay the ship."

What he said was what many people who were not optimistic about their group of people before going to sea, and now it is easy to refute what happened at the time.

As for where you go and what resources you have, things you should be careful about on the road must never be told to others easily.

That is the information you got back at the risk of your life. Why do you use it for free? Whoever wants to get rich will rent a boat to go to sea and experience what it means to die.

After Li Mian finished speaking, people from the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce sent people to surround this place so that the idle people would not let the idle people approach.

The head of the chamber of commerce held the booklet in his hand and discussed specific matters with Li Mian sitting opposite him.

"Dong Li, first, congratulations on your return safely and bringing back so many good things. Do we talk about the money for renting a boat and the price of the goods?"

The person in charge compared the things moved from the boat one by one and asked Li Mian.

Li Mian nodded a few times and replied: "Manager Zhang, we discussed the matter about the ship before we came back. We wanted to buy it. Although there were many damages, it was the first time I took a boat for a long trip, so I couldn't return it to the Chamber of Commerce. Manager Zhang checked the goods in advance, and could it be worth the ship's money?"

The twelve large ships were not for nothing. Li Mian and others came from Jiangnan East. Before renting the boat, they had to take out their own property as collateral. After successfully returning from the sea, they used the price of the goods to pay for it, and refunded the more and compensated the less.

It was given a total of three years. If you can't come back in three years, the industries used as collateral will be returned to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Now that all the twelve ships have returned safely, Li Mian is not going to continue to rent the boat. He is considering that he has to go out in the future, so he might as well buy it, which can save a lot of money in the future.

But he didn't know whether the goods he brought back could be worth the ship's money, so he was a little worried.

Manager Zhang, the person in charge, has seen all kinds of goods brought back by the fleet. He relied on the booklets made by the young master and the young lady in his hand. He knew in his heart that these goods could be exchanged for more than twenty ships. It was not that the goods were really valuable, and the goods were rare and precious. When they came back for the first time, many things were not found in the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about koala. In the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever heard of it. Naturally, many people are willing to pay sky-high money to buy it in order to show their identities.

As for why the young master and the young lady knew, then there was still a need to ask? As for the gods, there was nothing they didn’t know about.

Thinking of this, Manager Zhang said to Li Mian: "Li Dongjia, according to the contract when renting a ship, in addition to the goods, you must also tell the chamber of commerce what you saw and heard along the way, and present the drawn charts.

As long as what you say is true, the picture is true. With just these two things, you can switch to four ships and get new equipment provided by the Chamber of Commerce next time you go to sea, such as the equipment used by your ship to get fresh water.

According to the previous agreement, the goods must be handled by the Chamber of Commerce. There are two methods. One is that the Chamber of Commerce directly gives a price. Don’t worry, it is enough for you to buy a boat. The Chamber of Commerce actually cannot know how much it can be sold in the end. If you sell more, you must also approve it.

There is another method. The Chamber of Commerce does not buy directly, but helps you contact other buyers. The Chamber of Commerce will account for 40% of the net profit in the end. Don’t worry, it’s not gross profit. You can go back and discuss it first.

Oh, the goods included do not include animals. The several animals and plant seeds you brought back must be given to the Chamber of Commerce unconditionally. We will take over now and write to Beijing to tell the owner’s house.”

Manager Zhang finished his conditions and did not urge Li Mian to make a decision immediately. He leaned on the back of the chair and flipped the booklets in his hand page by page. However, he knew in his heart that the animals would go. Big animals would naturally be sent to the Tang Dynasty Zoo, such as the koala. It is estimated that Xiaobei and Xiaomao and others would have new playmates.

This thing is so cute, especially when someone is held in his arms and turned his head to look elsewhere, then timidly turned his face back, looking aggrieved, making people want to get one to hug.

Li Mian had already left at this time and went to discuss with the merchant who worked with him. He knew very well that he could not violate the contract when he signed the contract. He had to hand over the charts and key parking places.

If you change to a shipyard, you might be able to rent a ship and deal with it. However, it is absolutely not possible for the shipyards of Zhang and Wang.

Not to mention whether the other party will doubt it, even if you just got off the boat and didn't know what the name you were called, they immediately took it to the picture album to compare it, which means that they know a lot, yes, a lot.

If they annoyed, the consequences would be not just commercial suppression. Maybe after they were unhappy, they would wait for their own way out again and follow a few gunboats.

Yes, you must do it according to the contract. Li Mian reminded himself in his heart, and then he felt relaxed.

The other businessmen who were stopped outside are now regretful and excited, regretting not working with Li Mian to go overseas. What is excited is that others have made money and they should be able to make a fortune.

Just like when I was on Xinyuan Island, the Zhang and Wang families were really powerful. They actually knew that there were big places outside and there were many things that were not available in the Tang Dynasty. I originally thought that the Tang Dynasty had everything.

So, when Li Mian discussed how to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, a storm of great sailing was brewing.

The line of Jinchuan, the edge of the desert.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan calculated the number of various livestock collected here and estimated the profit.

"Xiaobao, it seems that Tubo and Turks have to pay more money this time. You actually sold the operating model of the money house to them, which made them unable to help but be moved. You are so bad."

After Wang Juan settled the accounts, she found that this time she came, not only did she not lose money, but also made a lot of money. The livestock only earned back the consumption of 40,000 people along the way, as well as other local medicinal materials and slaves, which was a real profit.

More importantly, Tubo and Turks have accepted the Tang Dynasty paper money and recognized the legitimacy of paper money. In this way, a stable foreign exchange circulation channel will be formed in the future. At that time, the livestock obtained from Tubo and Turks will be used to increase the recognition of domestic currency, which can be said to be a killing of multiple goals.

Of course, the most amazing thing is not how much money you make this time, but to let the Tubo and Turks understand the importance of a country having its own currency system.

This so-called currency system is actually a money shop. The success of the Datang Money House has made many small countries around him red, especially when the emperors found that since the Tang Dynasty had a money shop, Li Longji's treasury began to become full.

Who doesn’t want to hold the money in their own hands, especially the money can be used to build local areas and fight wars. Yes, it is the most terrifying thing to use for wars.

After Li Longji has money to fight, who can guarantee that he will not do anything to himself?

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xiaobao wrote down the operating model of the money house and sold it to Tubo and Turks as a commodity, with a very high price.

After learning about this, Que Teqin and Chide Zuzan felt sad for a while and were finally willing to pay more for exchange. They were really worried that they would not have such a money house in their country. When Li Longji raised more money for war, their country would not have the power to fight back.

Of course, what Wang Juan praised was not the people on both sides who were willing to spend money to buy money house model, but the things that they had after they bought it.

Zhang Xiaobao also understood what Wang Juan pointed out, turned over the last page of the account book and said, "This is called connecting with the international community. It's cheaper for them. I'm a good person to help them concentrate their money."

"You stare at you and tell lies. Don't say it's me, even Xin'er knows what you plan. You still want to wait for the money shops in their two places to start and engage in a real financial war against them.

You are the temptation of the devil, giving them a hope, and allowing them to open Pandora's box, just like finding someone to search for new places overseas and obtain more things, benefits are accompanied by risks.

When I was going to sea, I said it nicely. Why didn’t you organize a fleet to go out? I don’t know if any of them can come back alive. It’s the sea, and it’s devouring life when it’s nurturing life.”

As Wang Juan said this, she remembered the businessmen who were encouraged to go out to sea, hoping that they could come back alive and bring back more good things.

Just when Wang Juan mentioned this, the pigeon that was trying hard to fly had already arrived in Yizhou and received a letter from Shui Yun, who was sending the letter back and forth, and put it on Shui Yun and headed towards the edge of the desert.

In the Tubo palace, Chide Zuzan held the paper that Yi Luo had just exchanged for many resources, reading word by word.

Princess Jincheng was accompanied by her side. Now her status is obviously much higher than before. The entire Tubo harem has almost become her world, and no one dares to compete with her anymore.

Everyone is afraid that Datang will take revenge after provoking her.

In the past, no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, it would be fine if Li Longji was, after all, it would be very troublesome if the Tang Dynasty army wanted to attack. It usually defended passively and would not take the initiative to attack.

But since the demonic demon of the Juanjuan, everything has become different. No one can guess the true thoughts of a child. Perhaps it is said that a child has never been so stable. If he is happy today, he will laugh, and if he is unhappy tomorrow, he will cry.

Whether or not it can be fought and when will it have nothing to do with the ideas of Li Longji and his gang of court officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Chide Zuzan also knew about the situation in the harem recently, and he even added fuel to it once. There was no way, who could have 40,000 soldiers in the desert?

"This is the method of the Tang Dynasty Money House. Well, it's great. Why can't anyone in my dynasty think that in this way, merchants have frequent exchanges and pay a tax on the Tang Dynasty every time they buy and sell. Li Longji's hands are getting more and more money. Nunu, this time when you go back to the Tang Dynasty, you must remember to ask more about the disadvantages of the money house.

I was worried that there would be something that Zhang Xiaobao gave me that I couldn't see. Once I did as I did, it would cause great trouble. He and Wang Juan would not die of my desire to perish."

Chide Zuzan turned a few pages and saw an introduction written by Zhang Xiaobao, introducing the advantages and disadvantages of this money house. Of course, those shortcomings seem to be nothing at all.

Looking further, Chide Zuzan couldn't understand it. The book involved many professional terms, which were not his strengths.

The only thing he knew was that Zhang Xiaobao was not so kind-hearted. Even if Tubo paid a lot of money for this, Zhang Xiaobao was likely to set up several sets of them. Even when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, no one would tell him about this, and he could only count on Li Nunu.

What else can Princess Jincheng say? She has married into Tubo. Chide Zuzan mentioned it, so she has to help ask. What makes her happier is Chide Zuzan's words, which means she can go back to the Tang Dynasty to take a look.

I thought I would stay in Tubo for the rest of my life, but I didn’t expect that I would have a chance to go back. This time, I would stay for a while, or discuss it with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to see if I could come back every other time in the future to save my relatives.

Thinking of this, Princess Jincheng saw that Chide Zuzan was still waiting for her reply, and quickly said, "Zanpu, don't worry, Nunu must help find out the key points. I think Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will tell Nunu."

"Don't, don't ask them. I heard that they were not in the way with Zhang in the court. You have to find a way to ask Zhang, and there is also Concubine Wu Hui. That woman had attacked the Tang Dynasty Money House. Unfortunately, her methods were still not good. Not only was she seen through, but Zhang Xiaobao also took the opportunity to open the money house better."

Chide Zuzan, who had collected a lot of information from the Tang Dynasty, heard that the King of Jincheng asked Zhang Xiaobao and stopped him immediately. Wasn't that waiting to be deceived?

The Tang Dynasty now has a bad relationship with Zhang Xiaobao and the two of them. It is the Zhang Shuoyi faction and the Wu Huifei in the harem. Since Queen Wang has become favored again, anyone with discerning eyes can clearly see that Wu Huifei has been trying to deal with the Zhang and Wang families.

Unfortunately, the two families were too stable, and even Li Longji was inclined to let Wu Huifei take action repeatedly but failed.

However, if I propose to cooperate with it, I might have gained something else.

Princess Jincheng nodded and agreed.

She sighed secretly in her heart. Sometimes she didn't know what she should do. The conflicts between the two seemed to have stuck herself in the middle.

Chide Zuzan looked at the book from the money shop a few more times, and his eyes were sour, and he said to Princess Jincheng again: "It is probably nothing good to go there this time. If someone asks you about the specific situation of Tubo, you must not tell them."

"Nu Nu has written it down." Princess Jincheng nodded.

Chide Zuzan was only able to fulfill his thoughts.

Que Teqin is also worried about it. Although the Turkic monarch is Mojilian now, the real person in charge is Que Teqin. He controls the army, so he naturally controls the entire Turkic.
