In the afternoon of the same day, the basic framework of the comptoir was formed.

The personnel drawn by Li Yan from the army began to count all the goods entering the city, and on the second floor of the commercial building, seven or eight personnel from the Assassin's Mansion began to review the documents.

If this pace continues, tomorrow it will be possible to ensure that most of the caravans will receive the corresponding paperwork and will be able to leave the city to open up new trade routes.

In the evening, Wang Yu drafted a "Fengzhou Commercial Bank Division Announcement" at Li Yan's suggestion and posted it on the first floor of the commercial building and the entrance of the South City Gate.

"What? This year's Toyosu businessmen are tax-free!!? ”

"It's a loss! I knew I would have brought more goods! ”

"There's still time, let's go out of the city early tomorrow, and strive to reach the steppe tribe as soon as possible, and we must reach a verbal agreement!"

It is clearly written on the public notice that all transactions reached through the new Toyosu-Turkic trade route before December 30 of the first year of Zhenguan can be tax-exempt!

From now on, the trade between the caravans that were carried out independently in the city was thirty taxes, which was also lower than the commercial taxes of other states and counties in the Tang Dynasty.

Now many caravans have already made up their minds, if they want to make a large transaction in the future, they can make a detour to Fengzhou, so that they can leave a large amount of copper coins just from paying taxes.

Li Yan knew the minds of the merchants very well, and he deliberately left a reasonable way for the merchants to avoid taxes, and he also used naked interests to lure the caravan to come to Fengzhou to trade.

In this way, in less than a year, Fengzhou's economic development will reach a terrifying point, and by this time next year, Fengzhou will become a bright pearl in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Yan is not stupid, the tax rate of the thirty taxes is slightly lower than that of Zhenguan in the early years, and when Zhenguan is in his prime, even if there is no Li Yan of the Tang Dynasty, the average commercial tax of the Tang Dynasty is the level of thirty taxes and one tax, and he just slightly accelerated the process.

Li Yan went back to the barracks directly after finishing the affairs of the business department, although the commercial development of Fengzhou is very important, but in the final analysis, force is the foundation to ensure the development of Fengzhou.

In the final analysis, the reason why Li Yan worked hard to develop Fengzhou's commerce was that he first thought about ensuring the material needs of the Fengzhou army's daily training.

After returning to the barracks, Li Yan organized daily training, and in the evening, Li Yan went to the Tangnan camp to find Cheng Yanjin to practice the halberd method for an hour.

It is worth mentioning that now Li Yan's halberd method has reached LV7:126/540 on the panel with the help of experience, and in Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Yan's halberd method has reached the point of being superb, and there is no need to be bad at himself.

It is conceivable how congested he has been these days, and in just seven days, his only advantage in force in front of Li Yan has become yesterday's dream and no longer exists.

……

The night passed slowly, and all the caravan men on this page fell asleep with such excitement that they did not rest very well this night.

But now that the time is early in the morning, the spirits of all the caravan men are lifted!

For no other reason, now that the North City Gate is open, a new trade route will slowly open in front of them.

"According to the information, the Turks are steppe peoples, and we are not sure of their tribal location."

"So you work in pairs, take our list of goods, and go on horseback to find it, and if you can find a tribe and make a deal with them, then we will also have a guide on the steppe."

"Now, let's go!"

The caravan's planning is only orderly, so that they will not stupidly take the goods and run to the grassland to trek, that is a simple mentally retarded behavior, and then the barbaric steppe people will have no place to cry when they rob.

Almost all the caravans chose small groups of men and horses to go out and rushed to the steppe.

At this moment, all of them were competitors, only the first to find the Turks, the first to reach a deal with them, they had the hope of obtaining the glass cup from Li Yan's hands.

Driven by profits, some of the caravan men also brought some samples of the goods, completely ignoring the risks.

In this way, hundreds of more teams appeared in the steppe, all looking for traces of the Turks.

Under this almost overwhelming search, soon a caravan arrived and encountered the Turks.

The other party was originally going to rob routinely, but after seeing this exotic dress that was completely different from the Tang people, and reporting their identities, the Turks chose to bring them back to the tribe.

Unfortunately, this tribe is the Chumukun tribe that came to Fengzhou to provoke before.

"Who are you? What's the matter with my prairie? ”

The leader of the Mukun tribe, the leader of the Mukun tribe, asked solemnly, according to the reports of the rest of the tribe, it seems that there are many people dressed in exotic clothes on the grassland today.

"We are merchants from Persia, who entered the Tang Dynasty along the Silk Road, and then entered the steppe through Fengzhou, so we naturally came here for trade."

Hu Shang said very calmly, they have been crawling on the Silk Road all the year round, and they have never seen any ruthless people, if they don't have the guts, how can they come to Datang across the Eurasian continent.

"Persian ......"

His eyes flickered, and he knew a lot more than others as a tribal leader.

He had heard the Khan say that if the Silk Road could pass through their Eastern Turks, their steppe people's lives would be much more comfortable than now, but unfortunately the conditions in the north were difficult, and the merchants were very unwilling to redevelop a long-distance trade route.

Chu Mu Kunluo's mood was a little excited, but his mind was not yet dizzy.

"From Datang? Why did the Tang people allow you to come to the grassland? Are they stupid? ”

Chu Mu Kunluo was still a little vigilant, for fear that these merchants' transactions were fake, and the situation of spying on their Turks was true.

"Fengzhou and trade is allowed, we can naturally enter the grassland, if the chief is not at ease, you can take a look at our list of goods, as long as we make a commercial agreement, we can trade in a few days."

Hu Shang had enough experience, so he didn't think to bother to explain to Chu Mu Kunluo, but directly led the topic to the transaction.

"Checklist?"

Chu Mu Kunluo took the list, and his eyes were suddenly full of shock.

A Tang silk only needs a sheep!

One silk horse only costs five sheep!

The price flashed in the eyes of Chu Mu Kunluo, and the items in the list of goods were all things that the Turks had always wanted, but could not get.

In other words, these things are luxuries on the prairie.

Compared with luxury goods, these sheep that can only satisfy hunger are naturally of low value.

Of course, in the eyes of Chu Mu Kunluo, this price is cheap, but if the sheep are converted into copper coins, this big profit is Hu Shang, and this profit is not a little bit, this is all the difference in interest calculated in multiples!

In the final analysis, the heart of this merchant is always black!
