Chapter 337: Shame
The reason why Huangfu Sisi released the news was for fishing, and to let the Tibetan merchants know that the specialties grown on their land were valuable.
This is a very important step in the planning of the country.
First of all, they should be made aware of the value of medicinal herbs, and they will pay attention to them, and only after they pay attention will they consider large-scale cultivation.
Once it is planted on a large scale and slowly develops to the point of encroaching on cultivated land to grow medicinal herbs, Gu Qing's plan for the country will be considered more than half of the success.
Of course, there are more than three Tubo merchants in Qiuci City, Gu Qing treats the three of them so preferentially, he buys medicinal materials at a high price, and he gives them away to the shops for free, with only one purpose, that is, "buying horse bones with a thousand gold", and making it for other Tubo merchants in Qiuci City.
It is not only necessary to let them realize the value of Tibetan medicinal materials, but also to falsely raise the personal value of Tibetan merchants, to make them make up their minds to large-scale planting, and to raise the personal value of Tibetan merchants to appease the hearts of Tibetan merchants, so as to make the trading of medicinal materials a long term.
After Gu Qing thought for a while, he immediately asked Han Jie to bring the two Tibetan merchants over.
The Tibetan merchants came quickly, and the hour of incense came, and the two of them, dressed in loose leather robes, took off their felt hats and caressed their chests and saluted.
There were also a few camels behind them, which were full of medicinal herbs, and Gu Qing could smell a strange smell from afar.
"Are you embarrassed to sell this little medicinal herb?" Gu Qing showed a look of disdain, looking very contemptuous.
A Tibetan merchant bowed down and laughed: "The villain doesn't know that Qiuzi City is buying Tibetan medicinal materials on a large scale, so he didn't have time to prepare, if the price given by the noble person is right, the villain will immediately return to Tubo and bring more medicinal materials next time." β
Remember in a second https://
Gu Qing boredly plucked his ears with his little thumb, and said casually: "Okay, as many as you want, Han Jie, accept the medicinal materials and discuss the price with them." β
The Tibetan merchant immediately said: "I heard that there is a Tibetan man named Lazawang who sold it for three times the price, I don't know if it's true or not?" β
Gu Qing glanced at him obliquely, and sneered: "Don't play with caution in front of me, I know what you mean, Qiuzi City is indeed in urgent need of medicinal materials, but it will not give you the opportunity to ask for a price, the thing is yours, the price is determined by me, whether you like to sell it or not." β
The Tibetan merchant hurriedly laughed and said: "Yes, the villain just asked casually, of course the price is determined by the nobleman, you say the number, the villain will definitely sell." β
Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "The price of giving Razawang three times last time was a temporary act of vindictiveness by my generals, and it can't be taken as a regular practice, and I won't bully you, so let's do it, I will double the price of medicinal materials in the past, and you can follow this example in the future, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't want to sell it, you can sell it elsewhere, I don't force it." β
The two Tibetan merchants were suddenly a little disappointed, after all, someone had sold medicinal materials three times, and it was their turn to only double them, so there was naturally a gap in their hearts, but after thinking about it, the double profit was high enough, especially the medicinal materials were mostly grown in the wild in Tibet, which was basically equivalent to picking up money, and how much could be picked up, so why not?
"Good! The noble man said double, then doubled, and the villain sold. The Tibetan businessman gritted his teeth, looking aggrieved that he had lost his capital.
Gu Qing looked down on the petty business from beginning to end, glanced at a few camels outside, and said casually: "Han Jie, let Li Sima of the Jiedu Embassy settle the bill with them, and send the medicinal materials to the camp." β
The two Tibetan merchants were about to retire and leave, but one of them hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Dare to ask your nobleman, how many medicinal materials do you need in Qiuci City?" Is it used in the military to treat wounds, or is it used by the people? β
Gu Qing said lazily: "To treat injuries, the people also need to use it, recently there have been rumors among the people, it is said that your Tianshan Snow Lotus can cure women's diseases, the officials of the Jiedu Embassy have asked a few doctors, and the doctors all said that it is true, hehe, a few rotten grass root petals can cure diseases, it is also strange, since the people want to use it, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate intends to take over this transaction, and in the future, the medicinal materials of Tubo will be handled from the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the price will naturally not be disadvantaged to you." β
The Tibetan merchants were overjoyed, and the treatment of injuries in the army was only a temporary need, but the folk women's diseases were bought and sold for a long time, after all, the women's diseases came every month, and if this rumor spread to the Datang Pass in the future, with the population and demand of the Datang Dynasty, the trading of medicinal materials would simply be a big deal.
"The villain has one more thing to ask the nobles, I heard that Razawang sold the medicinal materials that your army urgently needed, so the nobles gave them a shop? The villain also sold medicinal herbs, I don't know ......" The Tibetan merchant had a smile on his face, but his eyes showed greed.
Gu Qing glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "Your skin is also thick, you have been enlightened by your Tibetan Bodhisattva, right?" Just because of the little medicinal herbs you sell, you also want a store? β
The Tibetan merchant hurriedly said: "The villain can bring more medicinal materials next time, and after he goes back, the villain will raise money to buy the medicinal materials of a hundred camels, how about it?" β
Gu Qing said with a smile: "To be honest, the quality of your medicinal materials is too ugly, I don't know if it can cure the disease, but it looks like a vegetable leaf rotting in the ground, next time you bring a hundred camels, if the medicinal materials are still in such an ugly condition, don't say that if you send them to the shop, we won't want the medicinal materials." β
The Tubo merchant was taken aback, and from Gu Qing's words, he found another important information, Qiuzi City not only needs medicinal materials, but also the quality of medicinal materials must be good-looking, otherwise it will be a trip in vain.
"The villain understands what the nobleman means, and the nobleman can rest assured that the medicinal materials that the villain will bring next time will be in good condition."
The Tibetan merchant no longer mentioned the matter of sending the shop, and retired with interest.
Huangfu Sisi personally sent two Tibetan merchants to the door of the inn.
After the Tibetan merchant left, Han Jie leaned in Gu Qing's ear and whispered, "Master Hou, what is the description of the quality of medicinal materials?" β
Gu Qing smiled maliciously: "Wild medicinal herbs are ugly, only artificially planted medicinal herbs look good, what I want is artificially grown." β
Artificial planting means that cultivated land must be encroached upon, and Gu Qing's words promoted the progress of the Tubo people planting medicinal herbs to encroach on cultivated land.
Huangfu Sisi walked back after sending off the businessman, and Gu Qing and Han Jie were silent.
Neither of them forgot that this woman was a little suspicious, and it was inconvenient to say something in front of her before they found out her origin.
After Huangfu Sisi came back, he sat opposite Gu Qing, staring at him lingeringly.
Not long after, she suddenly noticed that two unkind eyes were focused on her, and when she looked up, she was surprised to find that two strange teenagers behind Gu Qing were looking at her, with a faint hostility in their eyes.
Enmity?
Huangfu Sisi was stunned, she didn't know these two teenagers, why were they hostile to her?
"The guards behind Hou Ye have changed again? These two are very face-to-face. Huangfu Si Si smiled and said.
Gu Qing turned his head to look at Duan Wuji and Feng Yu, and said with a sigh: "They are my fellow villagers, who have come to join me, let them be my personal guards for the time being, and they can be regarded as my younger brothers." β
Huangfu Sisi smiled: "The two of them are extraordinary, and they are worthy of being fellow villagers of the Hou Ye. β
Duan Wuji's face was expressionless, and he did not answer the salute and did not speak.
Feng Yu grinned, and said meaningfully: "Brother Gu, when Brother Duan and I left Chang'an, Sister Huaiyu instructed us to pass on the word, telling Brother Gu to eat well and take good care of yourself, don't be too tired, if you are sick, Sister Huaiyu will feel distressed." β
Gu Qinghun said unconsciously: "I have always been very serious about eating well, but you said that she would feel distressed......"
Zhang Huaiyu's indifferent face suddenly appeared in his mind, showing a distressed expression, the picture was too beautiful to think.
Huangfu Sisi looked gloomy.
Feng Yu's words, she understood.
Is "Sister Huaiyu" his fiancΓ©e?
When we meet in Pingshui, Qin's heart is not allowed, why is my heart still uncomfortable?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After coming to Anxi for more than ten days, Duan Wuji and Feng Yu have gradually become familiar with the Anxi military camp.
Unlike Duan Wuji, Feng Yu's familiarity with the camp was embodied in the guards beside Gu Qing, just two days after he came, Feng Yu was already able to clearly call out the names of each guard, and after a few days, Feng Yu already had an understanding of the personality of all the guards.
He knows how to make jokes in front of whom it will be harmless, and he knows what not to say in front of anyone, because that is the taboo of this person.
If Duan Wuji is observing the camp as a whole, then Feng Yu is observing people and things, and the two observe from different angles and positions.
Within a few days, Feng Yu became very familiar with Wang Gui, who was recuperating from his injuries, Wang Gui was also a clever man, Feng Yu and him hit it off at first sight, and they went into Wang Gui's barracks every day, and the two of them talked nonsense.
Feng Yu has read books, Wang Gui has had life and death experience, the two chatted about the sky, they admired each other, the more they talked, the more they fell in love, and almost worshiped brothers with different surnames.
When the love between men and women is strong, the love becomes thinner, but what about between men and men?
Men and men are mixed well, and when the love is strong, they can do anything crazy.
When Wang Gui boasted to Feng Yu about the orchid in the green building of Guizi City, the green eyes and yellow hair, the posture of the soul, and the exotic style of the bed, Feng Yu was suddenly moved, and he wanted to taste it in the blink of an eye, but when he saw Wang Gui who was recuperating from his injuries in bed, he couldn't help but hesitate.
How could Wang Gui, who is righteous and cloudy, disappoint his new confidant?
With a big hand, he said, "Help me up, I can do it!" β
So Feng Yu supported Wang Gui, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, and the two staggered out of the camp and walked towards the Qinglou in Qiuzi City.
In the middle of the night, Gu Qing, who was sleeping in the tent, was woken up by Han Jie, Gu Qing threw a wine glass at him with an unhappy face, Han Jie deftly dodged it, and then told Gu Qing with a face of shame that Feng Yu and Wang Guibai were prostitutes, and they were reported to the official by the shopkeeper of the Qinglou in Qiuzi City, and after the officials verified that the two were Hou Ye's personal guards, they politely sent the two back to the camp, but also left a message, asking Hou Ye to discipline his subordinate generals, and by the way, ask Hou Ye to reimburse the prostitution money owed by your family to visit the Qinglou......
The words were polite, but Gu Qing also heard the unfinished meaning of the words, probably asking Hou Ye to restrain his subordinates and stop doing such a shameful thing.
Gu Qing, who was angry when he got up, leaned weakly on the futon, raised his head and sighed.
I'm so angry, I really want to kill two guards to sacrifice to the sky......
