Chapter 456: Trying to make the long-term

As the only pretty good restaurant in Silla next to the Tang Dynasty, Changfeng Pavilion has become a place specially used by Li Dong and others to discuss matters.

Today is still a group of businessmen here to invite Zhang Tie, who is in charge of the building.

"Manager Zhang, drinking, is a habit of being transported from the Tang Dynasty. I think it is a habit that Manager Zhang can still drink." Li Dong diligently gave Zhang Tieman a bowl of wine and said to Zhang Tie with a bright smile.

The smile on Zhang Tie's face was no worse than that of Li Dong. He picked up the bowl and touched Li Dong, raised his head and poured it in. It was very happy. After drinking a bowl of wine, he wiped his mouth with his hands. Zhang Tie breathed happily and said to Li Dong: "The love of the Li Dong family is hard to refuse. I haven't seen each other for a few days. I wonder if I had thought about it. I originally planned to wait for the tariff matter to be implemented and ask Li Dong family and others to have a good meal. I never thought that I would ask Li Dong family to invite it first and sue it."

"Mr. Zhang said something, and you and me are so polite. Who invites anyone different? As long as you can be together, I feel very comfortable. I wonder if Manager. Zhang agrees? How about trying this braised pork tail with sauce?"

Li Dong smiled and said with a smile, and pushed Zhang Tie's favorite pig tail to him.

"Great sage." Zhang Tie praised it after biting the pig's tail, and then continued, "Zhang kept the affection of Li Dong's family in mind. When I repair the restaurant in the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will definitely invite you to try it out frequently. The young master wants to build the blue sea and silver sand and water clouds.

At that time, the two restaurants will still be opposite each other, competing with each other and making progress together, but they will be different. Oh, and the newly made furniture should also be placed. If you like which one is better, I will make a promise first and sell it with you at your cost."

The merchants of Silla didn't take their hearts. The words on the table were too unreliable. They winked each other and hesitated that they didn't know who mentioned the matter of opening the river and building bridges.

Finally, Li Dong took the load over, filled Zhang Tie with wine again, looked at the river outside, and said to Zhang Tie: "This river is really good, the fish inside is delicious. I suddenly remembered that although the fish in Nihe River are good, the water is actually good, has Manager Zhang tasted it?"

"There are some tastes and tastes, each with its own flavor, like the water clouds and the blue sea and silver sand. Why, the Li Dong family wants to eat the fish that is stewed with water? I will ask someone to catch a basket and send it to you, it will definitely be fresh."

Zhang Tie nodded and said.

Li Dong nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's still hard. If the two rivers can be connected together, wouldn't it be possible to taste both? I remember that the young master of the Zhang family planned that way. Unfortunately, let's not disturb the people who don't understand the truth.

Manager Zhang, it’s better to do this. This time, I will definitely control the people and prevent them from going to the ***. You will continue to connect the two rivers according to the first idea, and choose a place to build a bridge at the same time to facilitate water transportation. Last time, it was too hasty and I didn’t have time to take care of it. It’s really a pity."

Li Dong said it, and the other Silla people stared at Zhang Tie, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

Zhang Tie was still smiling just now. After hearing Li Dong's proposal, he suddenly showed a embarrassed look, sighed, and said helplessly: "No, my young master, you don't understand. He thought about doing things when he was doing things. After a while, he forgot that if the person who was arranged insisted on doing it, he would not have done anything at all.

The same is true for connecting the two rivers and building bridges. Now I will ask the young master, I will definitely lose the previous energy. In fact, it is nothing if I don’t build it. The ships I travel from the Tang Dynasty can take a little bit of a way, and maybe I can change my mind and take a look at.

Don't mention this, I dare not tell the young master, otherwise it will remind you that his idea was disturbed by someone at that time, and you will be unhappy and expose your anger on me. It will not be worth the effort. Come and drink."

"How could Manager Zhang? Why is this possible? Manager Zhang finds an opportunity to meet the young master of the Zhang family and explain the matter clearly in person. I think the young master will agree."

Li Dong drank another bowl of wine with him, but he still didn't want to give up this hope.

Zhang Tie shook his head slightly, pondered for a moment, looked at Li Dong and said, "Actually, if you want to connect to the river or build a bridge, you can't find a young master anymore. You just need to contact me, a building that is a building that is willing to take care of, and give Li Dong's family a discount on the charges.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still many people in the group pointing to this job, I wouldn't make a penny, but I can guarantee that if the Li Dong family pays the money, I will only make a little profit. I hope there will be more work in the future. The Li Dong family will think more about our strong construction."

"Ah? We pay for it? But at the beginning, your young master paid for it, and it paid a lot. Many people have been accustomed to getting into trouble. For example, when building a road, if it were not the first time, your young master gave too high a price, and it would not have been so much wages for the people who built the road.

You can eat for five days a day, and you still use the things you transported from the Tang Dynasty. You have made a fortune in this thing? If we still pay for the money to build a bridge in the river, we can't afford it. Why don't we discuss it again and ask the people who go to build the bridge to ask for less money and explain it to them."

Li Dong felt that he had opposed it before, but now he was embarrassed to agree. In order to receive enough tariffs, he accepted his fate. Who knew that after going around and over again, he would put the expenses on himself. This was not just a matter of embarrassment or not. The burden was too great.

Zhang Tie nodded, "I know, this money is too much, so I'd better not to repair it. The Li Dong family really wants to see the young master, but it can't be the Li Dong family and you guys to see it. My young master is an official of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of a state. If any businessman can see it, then it's not trouble to be so? Find the royal family members of Silla, and you must have enough status. The Li Dong family can accompany you to see it."

"This... well, I try my best to find people from the royal family. It may not be possible. I would like to ask Manager Zhang to say more and more beautiful words in front of the young master. Come on, bring up the things for Manager Zhang."

Li Dong was really out of his way and shouted to the outside. After a moment, someone came in with a tray in his hand and placed it gently on the table.

Li Dong lifted the silk cloth on it to reveal what he wanted to give to Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie glanced at Li Dong and looked at Li Dong. With Li Dong's expectation, he smiled slightly and said, "What a big deal. I didn't expect that the Li Dong family could find a pearl as big as a pigeon egg. It was still six. If these six were sold, it would be impossible to get a lot of money. So I'll accept it."

"Manager Zhang is joking. Who doesn't know that the people in the inner courtyard of Wang Zhang and the two families are rich, and the six pearls are still light. After the matter is done, I will thank you very much."

Li Dong said with a smile.

"I can't guarantee whether it's successful or not. Do my best. Oh, I'm dizzy and unable to drink. I'm really sorry." Zhang Tie couldn't grab the six pearls and put them in his arms casually, as if they were six stones. He covered his forehead with his other hand and shook his body slightly.

"Come on, help Zhang Manager to rest." Li Dong was very tactful and immediately found someone to help Zhang Tie away.

Waiting for the sound of footsteps, Li Dong, who was sent to the door, turned around and looked at the people who were also standing up, and said with a painful expression: "It's a problem. According to Zhang Xiaobao's character of eating people and not spitting bones, I don't know what will happen this time."

"Li Dong's family, Zhang Tie has taken over that pearl. Can't he help..." asked one person.

"Didn't you listen to him? The 10,000-yuan pearl is worth less. He doesn't know how much money the inner courts of Zhang and Wang's family can get. I'll send someone to inquire and give things next time."

Li Dong felt that his mouth was bitter and he wanted to pay more, but if he had more, he could go as much as possible. He could not give out a million yuan of money to others, so it would be better to spend money directly.

When Zhang Tie returned to a room, he took out six pearls. Suddenly he thought of Xiao Bei and Xiao Wu and others. He frowned and said to himself: "I really don't know how to give you things. I only give you six. If nine are better for the little lady and the young masters to play with each other, how can I divide the six? I'll give you one thing to the other? I'm so sad."

While the Silla merchants were waiting, they didn't believe in the matter of Tonghe and the bridge repair. They went to find Zhang Tie again. The news was that Zhang Tie was busy building the road through Jilizhou and had no time for a while.

The goods from Datang were smuggled into Silla in batches. The same price and better quality caused a great impact on people in the same industry in Silla.

The clan members of Silla were anxious. They originally planned to use tariffs to offset this part of the money, but the tariffs were not collected for a long time. The people in Silla could not sell their goods and repeatedly lowered prices, which almost made up for the money. The goods shipped from the Tang Dynasty were all related to people's livelihood.

The royal family and merchants in Silla finally realized the threat of trade dumping. The cheap food transported from the Tang Dynasty made local farmers unwilling to farm. They planted a little enough to eat it themselves, and then found ways to make money so that they could buy cheaper other goods.

More and more people are unemployed. When people who work in handicrafts and odd workers find work, they find that there are more peers. The competition is particularly fierce. Employers keep dropping the price again and again. When the price is low, they lose money, and when the price is high, they cannot sell it.

The Silla people, who felt the artificial economic crisis for the first time, were completely confused and didn't know how to deal with it. In the end, they only attributed their willingness to tariffs. The royal family once again found Li Dong and others, putting a lot of pressure on them.

Li Dong's hair was almost white, and he figured out why things had developed to this point. How could the trade seem to be so simple?

"Is Zhang Xiaobao really so powerful that the existence beyond the top rankings? How did he operate? What is the theoretical basis that the Tang people often say? Tariffs are really just a matter of tariffs? If you want tariffs, you have to control smuggling, open rivers, build bridges, and force people to death."

At night, Li Dong stayed alone in the dark room, thinking hard, trying to find a key place from Zhang Xiaobao's series of actions, but he never had a way to enter the door.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were happy when they received the news.

Wang Juan looked south and felt sad for Silla. If he hadn't cooperated with *** and the Turks to cause trouble for Zhang Xiaobao, how could the situation be like now?

"Silla is over. If you just attribute the problem to tariffs, even if you receive tariffs at that time, you will still not be able to withstand Xiaobao's next actions. The big country is very cautious in this regard, let alone the small country."

Wang Juan muttered in a low voice, then looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who was not far away, and his mouth was slightly raised, and asked, "Xiaobao, how much do you want to force Silla to? Let them be completely unemployed? Cause a limited oversupply?"

"How can that happen? After all, it is not easy for the people of Silla. In the spirit of internationalism and humanity, I have to help them. Now I want to make it cheaper to buy things and wait for them to find a job after a while. I am a kind person and cannot bear to see others' life difficult.

Whenever I think of the people in the world who live in poverty, I feel that I have not done enough. I am not thinking that I am great, I just believe in God who benefits my people. Amitabha, may God's light shine on the earth. God said there should be light, so there will be light. I said I would find a job for them, and they will have a job."

Zhang Xiaobao looked pious, and once he stood his hand on his chest, he began to draw crosses from bottom to top with the other hand.

"Xiaobao, I think you only lack two horns on your head, otherwise it would be more perfect. What job is it to look for?" Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao began to bury other people's religion again, shook his head helplessly.

Putting down his hand, Zhang Xiaobao scratched his head and said slowly: "As for work, the main way to solve the current problem is to increase domestic demand and divert internal conflicts. It is best to sell the produced goods abroad.

Domestic demand is no longer needed, because the goods from the Tang Dynasty are enough for them to use. The way to transfer internal conflicts is war. They really dare to do it. Then you will take action and eliminate the sins on earth. If you export goods, the price should be lower. We will charge tariffs and increase the quality requirements of the goods.

As a result, Silla still seemed to be in a difficult situation, so I started to work on my smart mind and came up with a good solution, which was to adjust Silla's industrial structure, turn the original farming and handicrafts into mining and processing industries. Silla also has many mines, gold, silver, and copper mines.

I am willing to pay for the mine and hire local people to work, and smelter them at the same time. This requires workers and many positions are kept for them. I can even transport some of our raw materials to Silla for processing, such as match manufacturing, and future aluminum factories, so that they can also contact the technology.

Alas! I don’t have the halo of God, but I have a heart that loves the world, works hard for the happiness of the people of the world, and is willing to give everything for it.”

Zhang Xiaobao's expression was dignified and solemn, while Wang Juan was so happy.

"Xiaobao, you are so shameless. You have a lot of bad water. Come here and let me take a good look. I will punish you on behalf of the moon." Wang Juan said, and he came close to Zhang Xiaobao, reached out to pinch Zhang Xiaobao's face, stretched his left and right.

"Okay, I'll let you punish you enough tonight."

"Rogue, you are not allowed to touch your hands."

"Now you are fighting with me."

"That's your hooligan."

Li Dong finally couldn't bear the pressure from the royal family, and once again asked someone to tell Zhang Tie that he agreed, and the merchants in Silla paid to connect the two rivers and build a bridge, hoping that Zhengzheng Building could help and speed up the project.

When Zhang Tie received this news, he came here with great loyalty. Not only did he come, but he also brought many people from the Tang Dynasty to work together and help with the project.

After getting some of the money first, Zhang Tie quickly started construction according to the original design. However, this time the labor force is not all from Silla, and more than half of the people from the Tang Dynasty are clearly making money from Silla.

The people of Silla were reluctant and found Li Dong to ask why they didn't let them work? They just gave the money to the Tang people for nothing. They didn't dare to do it before, but now they know that Li Dong is under great pressure, so they come here.

Li Dong hated Zhang Xiaobao's teeth and itched. Didn't it just destroy the original construction? As for the revenge endlessly?

When the people of Silla looked for him, he asked Zhang Tie to reduce the employment of the Tang Dynasty and use Silla more. I thought Zhang Tie would make excuses to shirk him, but Zhang Tie agreed very happily.

The Tang people who opened the river and built bridges were removed and replaced with the people of Silla made Li Dong think that the sun was coming out from the west again. At the same time, his vigilance was not diminished, but he became more powerful. If something abnormal happened, there would be monsters.

Sure enough, his premonition was effective. Two days later, the people of the Tang Dynasty united to find the construction site and wrote a banner that said they were willing to use half of their wages to work.

So Zhang Tie found Li Dong in embarrassment and said this, which meant that he wanted the people of the Tang Dynasty to work and could use the money saved on the materials.

It was just an ultimatum. Li Dong went to the people of Silla who worked and talked about this matter. In the end, the people of Silla agreed to work as long as one-quarter of the money was used. One day, the work of the whole family would be enough for a whole day, and there was a little leftover, which was much better than not being able to find work.

The people of the Tang Dynasty retreated, but could not afford such a low wage. They ran to the side of the Tang Dynasty and began to help build restaurants and shops. The wages were the kind that could allow the family to eat and drink for five days in one day.

Li Dong wandered around for two days and found that the materials to build the bridge had not changed much from before, and the tools to connect the river were still the same. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more wrong he found Zhang Tie.

"Manager Zhang, there seems to be no change in the material issue you mentioned. So do you have to be less money in the budget?"

Li Dong didn't go around with Zhang Tie and asked directly.

"Oh, this matter has increased, and a lot of materials that were originally intended to be sold to Zhengzheng Construction, because Datang built restaurants and shops in advance, so the money is still the same, but the materials are expensive, so I have tried my best to lower the price, which is not easy."

Zhang Tie explained to Li Dong as if I had no choice.

Li Dong was so angry that he said, "Haha, Manager Zhang, who doesn't know that the building built by the Tang Dynasty belongs to your young master? Then why do you have to involve us in your affairs?"

"This is a bad statement. The transactions of our two families, Zhang and Wang, are all settled by the *** settlement, such as Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha. They are both ours, but they compete with each other and even engage in price wars. Logically speaking, it should not be. After all, the two sides are engaged in price wars, and the final profit is ours. But because of the *** settlement, they are not unified, which leads to such a result.

There is another team built in Datang, not my strong construction. The delivery merchants also contacted us alone and sold them by bidding. If you don’t believe it, you can buy it and see if the price will be lower."

Zhang Tie presented facts and reasoned to Li Dong.
