"Yes! Only after completing the registration can the Ministry of Commerce provide you with a guarantee, and then you can get a loan from the bank. Tian Dan spread his hands and replied to everyone very clearly.

It's hard to understand, and it's not hard to understand.

To put it simply, this is what Tian Dan has arranged a long time ago.

If the officials of the Han Dynasty can't act, they are embarrassed to call themselves high-ranking officials.

Tian Dan was the same, he had discussed this matter with Zhang Cang as early as when the mission was traveling.

So what they saw and heard today was the result of countless discussions between Tian Dan and Zhang Cang.

As for the purpose, it's simpler.

I give you a loan directly, and you buy the goods and leave, then we can also receive a tax.

But this tax is only from the eastern industrial zone.

And we can't collect taxes on the goods you sell in the Western Regions.

In order to be able to keep this huge amount of taxes, the two of them designed a bureau and asked them to register and file in Luoyang first.

If you dare to evade taxes at that time, then wait.

Of course, the first time will certainly not be so strict.

Because both Tian Dan and Zhang Cang know very well that after this batch of goods is shipped back, a large part of it will not be used for sale.

You can't give it to the boss and collect the money, can you?

Therefore, these sent out should also be included in the comprehensive cost, so this first batch basically does not collect any taxes.

But after that, the tax will be more, according to the calculations of the imperial court, after the first batch of goods are transported back, the Western Regions will basically be the Han Dynasty.

Why was this bureau designed?

He really didn't just make money and collect taxes, he also had deeper calculations from the imperial court.

Collecting taxes to make money can only be said to be a small business by the way.

"How to register for the record?" Someone asked.

"It's very simple, find a house in Luoyang, and then go to the Ministry of Commerce to register, and the Ministry of Commerce will send you a certificate after confirming it, and you will complete the filing when you get the certificate." Tian Dan said.

"Okay, let's complete the filing as soon as possible......

"One thing must be made clear to you in advance, once the filing is completed, it means that you belong to the merchants of the Han Dynasty, and you must also abide by the rules of the Han Dynasty or something!" Tian Dan reminded again.

"Okay......" The envoys from the Western Regions nodded knowingly.

Then they started looking for a house, and there were no requirements for the house, so most people chose to rent a house, and it was a long-term rent.

Then he hurriedly ran to the record, just because these envoys from the Western Regions went to the record, which led to the continuous flow of people in the filing office, and had to temporarily increase the staff to complete the record before sunset.

Then, five days later, after a few days of on-site visits by the Ministry of Commerce, the lease contract and location were confirmed, and the business and tax plan were confirmed again and again until everyone was confirmed.

These missionary merchants from the Western Regions can be regarded as having obtained the registration certificate.

Although they are not Han now, they belong to merchants registered in the name of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, these people can also understand that they don't pay taxes when doing business?

It's just that the form of paying taxes is different, in the real sense, whether it is protection fees or other expenses, they are all considered a kind of tax, whether it is reasonable or not.

And now that the Great Han is willing to protect them, so be it.

Of course, more importantly, after this big Han trip, it also made them realize.

If you don't do that, it won't work, the strength of the Han is not comparable to them, and the confrontation has no ending.

When the formalities were completed, the gang found Tian Dan again.

And Tian Dan called Zhang Cang again, and after confirming, Zhang Cang also called the officials of Qianzhuang.

Handled the loan procedures for everyone on the spot.

The amount of money is not a problem, anyway, there is a guarantee from the Ministry of Commerce, even if there is a lot of loans, the money bank will dare to lend.

As for why the Ministry of Commerce has the courage to vouch for these merchants of the Western Regions, this courage naturally comes from the imperial court and the emperor.

In other words, the Ministry of Commerce is an errand runner in this matter.

Even if the money cannot be recovered in the end, there is no need for the guarantor of the Ministry of Commerce to bear it.

Although it is unreasonable, what is unreasonable in the face of national events?

"Are you going to go on your own? Or do you place an order directly in Luoyang? After the loan was completed, these originally poor jingling envoys and businessmen from the Western Regions instantly became rich men with thousands of dollars in their pockets.

With this money still in the account of the money bank, Tian Dan did not intend to let them hold the money for too long.

"It's cheaper to run it yourself, right?" Someone asked.

They know Dahan's model, and if they operate it in person, they will save a middleman the cost of making the difference.

It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot of money.

For those of them who seem to be rich, but in fact they are poor, there are really a lot.

"It's going to be cheap, but you've been to the eastern industrial zone and seen the busyness there, so even if you go in person, you may have to wait a month or two, or even longer, to get the goods." Tian Dan said with a serious face.

"Ah??? It's going to take so long......"

"Tian Shangshu, is there any other way?"

Because they have seen it with their own eyes, no one thinks that Tian Dan is fooling them.

But it takes about 20 days to go, and it takes about a month to ship goods when you come back, and you have to wait for a month or two, even if it is fast, three months have passed.

It takes so long to prepare a batch of goods, and I'm afraid it will take a year to bring them back to the Western Regions.

And they obviously can't wait here for so long, because the Han Dynasty said that the Han army will enter the Western Regions in the earliest autumn and the slowest spring.

So when it's full, it's almost a month or less than two months left for them.

"Go to the trading market, there are a lot of goods there, you go and choose some goods you want first, and then list the quantity and price, and then the old man will send someone to help you press the price, although it will cost you more money than you go alone, but it can save a few months of time." Tian Dan thought about it and pointed out a clear path for everyone.

Everyone had no other way but to follow Tian Dan's statement and plunged into the trading market.

They have been here for a long time, and there are indeed quite a lot of types of goods.

But the price is just as beautiful.

I didn't have so many doubts when I didn't know it before.

But after a trip to the eastern industrial area, knowing that the ex-factory price of silk is 40 yuan, and then looking at the price of 70 yuan a horse here, they instantly feel that it is expensive.

And if you run by yourself, the freight and premium are calculated according to ten dollars per horse, and the cost price is only fifty dollars.

Even here, excluding the cost of warehouses, shops, labor, etc., the profit of one horse is at least fifteen yuan.

It's all money......

But there is no way, they have no other channels and channels, so they can only silently accept the offer here.

Then he pinned his hopes on Tian Dan.

As for the real price, they didn't count on much anymore.

You can't let people not make money after removing the cost, right?

Therefore, most people already have a reserve price in their hearts, and their price is probably the market selling price minus five to ten yuan.

As a result, everyone began to record the variety and quantity of goods they needed in a small notebook.

However, the goods required by all were uniform, with large heads of cloth of various grades and a small amount of porcelain.

Although this thing is exquisite, because it is porcelain, fragile products, it is not conducive to long-distance transportation, so you can only buy less, so as to avoid breaking the ground on the road and directly losing your money.

The second is the fresh things that all kinds of big men have, and they don't have.

Anyway, it was the first time to do business, and they also followed the advice given by the Ministry of Commerce, and if they were not sure, they could buy a small amount of some, and then buy more varieties.

The first time you do this kind of thing, you should find out the popular products in your respective country, and then make targeted purchases in the next business.

After another ten days, the merchants of the Western Regions Mission found Tian Dan again.

This time, I came to deliver an order, which listed various product names, market prices, and quantities I needed.

Tian Dan just glanced at it briefly, and handed over the list to his subordinates: "Go and talk to these merchants, the price should be the most favorable, the quality should be the best, and our new brothers should not be allowed to suffer." ”

Look at what Tian Dan said, how down-to-earth and happy it is?

But they didn't realize what it meant to be called a new brother!

But it didn't take long for them to understand what it meant.

"Rank, I have good news for you!" Tian Dan continued.

“？？？”

"Your Majesty was very happy when he heard about this, so he ordered the military department to form a team to be responsible for helping you transport goods, the cost is still a lot cheaper than the long-distance transportation within the Han Kingdom, but you also know how difficult and dangerous it is on the way, so this price is actually not low." Tian Dan said with a smile.

"Tian Shangshu, we have already prepared for this, just say how much freight is needed from Luoyang to Loulan!" The Loulan envoy asked, he did not borrow 100,000 yuan, but 300,000 yuan, so he was most concerned about the issue of freight.

However, Tian Dan did not directly say the price, but counted with his fingers: "The journey is almost three months, a car needs three people, three stone of grain per person per month, and these three months are nine stones, so the cost of three people for three months is one hundred and eight yuan, but because the road is too far, after leaving the Han realm, this price cannot buy food, so this piece is counted as one hundred and fifty yuan, and the salary of the person is ...... Livestock have to eat and drink...... The cost of coming back...... Anyway, wipe out the change, and a car will count you as 500 yuan......"

Hearing the offer of 500 yuan, many people were shocked, but after careful calculation, it was actually about the same, because the road was too far and there was no supply point, so it was obviously not possible for people to run so far and pay back the local wages.

But five hundred dollars...... That's almost enough to buy nine pieces of cloth......

But if this batch of goods can be shipped back, even if it is ten times the price, it will not be sold.

Gritted his teeth and agreed......

"Rank, there is also good news, Qian Zhuang is planning to set up a branch in your respective country, and you can send money back to Luoyang directly there when the time comes......"
