The two words of King Liang instantly made Li Xianju tighten.

"What? Didn't his private soldier already ...... last time"

"Ahem, master, what if, people learn to be smart."

Li Ran has a headache, if it is an uncle, it must be a little thorough.

"This Liang Wang can play a lot more cards than us, he can't be dark, won't he come to the light? For example, the official university crushed people to death! ”

Li Ran believes that his worries are not unreasonable, in the officialdom of Longyou Dao, there is absolutely no shortage of speculators who want to hug the thigh of Liang Wang Wu Sansi, so many states and counties, it is inevitable that there will be moths.

"So, what should I do?"

Li Xian lost his attention in an instant, the officialdom and political struggle were really his absolute shortcomings.

“…… Go ask my uncle, he understands. ”

Li Ran smiled, didn't explain more, got on the horse and left.

There are some methods of inferiority, and it is best for Li Xian not to participate...... Secretly co-opted so many horse thieves, nearly a thousand outlaws, and occasionally 'wandering to commit crimes', how normal.

This trip, all the way to the west.

It's a pity that there is no beautiful spring and Guan-style service, only endless wind and sand.

From Liangzhou to Qiuci, it will take more than half a month at the earliest, and Li Ran even had the idea of going home...... Brother came to Datang to enjoy happiness, and I don't want to remember the bittersweet memories!

However, this is the first time to go to Qiuzi, so I can only lead the team in person.

It's not that he's so good, it's that he wants to unlock the 'Qiuzi' site in the 'Logistics Intelligence Station Construction' project.

This place is the intersection of the North-South Silk Road, the throat of the throat, the fortress of the fortress, and the central hub of the countries of the entire Western Regions.

Fortunately, in addition to being tired along the way, safety is worry-free.

The horse thief who didn't open his eyes had already been killed by his uncle, and occasionally a little fish that slipped through the net saw the escort group of nearly 1,000 people, and he was even more frightened and hid far away.

Twenty days later, the outline of the city of Guizi was seen.

With a strong Western style, perhaps influenced by Persia, the buildings are mainly domed stone houses, and the territory is quite rich.

After Li Ran's army entered the city, it instantly became the focus, and piles of Hu people came to inquire about the news with the broken Luoyang official dialect.

This place nominally belongs to the scope of Longyou Dao, but it is only in name...... The influence of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not as good as silver and knives here.

Of course, the rich man who brought a large number of goods was also the most favored nobleman.

The transaction process is not complicated, and Cheng Bo commanded his subordinates to sell potatoes, sesame oil, and honeycomb coal with ease, and they went crazy without exception.

Other cotton cloths, wood, and the like were also in high demand, and the Hu people who heard the news on the ground around them flocked to it, almost squeezing Qiuzi City to the brim.

This time, Li Ran did not limit the amount of sales, and even the currency was relaxed to the limit.

There are no copper coins and silver, barter, spices and pepper, jade agate, etc., all are collected according to the order, anyway, if it is useful or useless, it can be deposited in the bank of heaven and earth, and it does not occupy space.

There were even Hu merchants who wanted to use slaves as currency...... Regarding the behavior of buying and selling human beings, Li Ran said that the taste is really not so heavy, and he is not sensitive.

As expected, his behemoth caravan quickly seized the local market, and Li Ran specially bought a few large houses in the city as the residence of the business, which was considered to have set up a sales route.

Of course, the work on the surface should be done to the fullest, and the means in the secret are not idle.

In a place like Qiuzi, if you don't attract a few of your own people to expand your network, I'm sorry to eat the sand for so many days.

The object is also ready-made, Hu Shang!

"Young master, did you write an invitation to all the Hu merchants in Qiuzi?"

Cheng Bo looked at the hundreds of letters in the house, messy in the wind...... Perhaps, he shouldn't do everything, and look at his own young master.

"What's wrong?" , Li Ran nodded calmly and put away the simple engraved seal.

Only then did Cheng Bo notice that the content on each invitation was exactly the same!

“…… Powerful businessmen are invited as agents, and the quota is limited to ...... Ten. ”

Cheng Bo was messy in the wind again, these hundreds of invitations, and only ten people were selected in the end?

"Ten is almost, most of our supply of goods has to be sold in the Tang Dynasty, Qiuzi here, can only be added, and in the direction of Dashi in the west, in the direction of the West Turks, in the direction of Tubo in the south, these trade routes have always been difficult, and the caravans are not easy to refine."

Li Ran did not hide what he thought in his heart, and said with a smile, "Our Tang Dynasty has a bad relationship with Dashi, Turkic, and Tubo, and there are almost no personnel contacts, so it is difficult to collect information about these opponents, but the Hu merchants in the Western Regions are different, they are relatively neutral, and they are located in the land of the four wars, and the news from various channels is very well-informed, so they are a good source of intelligence, but these Hu merchants have to use some means to make them work hard." ”

“…… Master, you think so long-term. ”

Cheng Bo was convinced, these spy reports should have been done by the Tang Dynasty.

"In the future, there will always be a time when it will be useful."

Li Ran smiled meaningfully, there are some words, there is no need to go into detail now, but people, there is no difference between no dream and salted fish.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when Li Ran's invitation was delivered to Hu Shang, the group of people went crazy again.

They don't understand the term 'agent', but 'exclusivity' is clear.

Li Ran's exclusive sales products, including but not limited to potatoes and honeycomb coal, and promised that when there are new products in the future, they will also be supplied to Qiuzi City!

What a value is the 'strange thing' from Datang! …… These days, potatoes and honeycomb coal have become sky-high in the surrounding area, and in the eyes of Hu Shang, they are almost synonymous with wealth.

If you don't say it, you have to take down the 'agent'.

For a while, all Hu businessmen were gearing up and said that they wanted to go to the banquet, even if they were beaten to the point of bleeding...... In fact, they did.

In the open space in the city, the civil and martial arts came in turns.

The mess and unbearable scene really makes people wonder what these Hu businessmen do...... How can a businessman slash people more than a swordsman?

Unable to resist the 'enthusiasm' of his partners, Li Ran quickly adjusted the selection method, set up a business negotiation point in the yamen of the government in the city, imitated the recruitment process in later generations, submitted a self-recommendation letter, and then interviewed!

He also specially told him to line up, but anyone who cut the queue will be disqualified directly.

For a time, the rules and regulations of the Hu merchants in the entire Qiuzi City were lined up, stretching from the government office to the outside of the city gate.

For a full day, Li Ran didn't even drink a few sips of water, watched the sun go down, and told Cheng Bo to close the stall and continue tomorrow.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the biggest merchant in Qiuzi City?"

When he pressed his temples to relax his spirit, he suddenly heard the official words of Luoyang in his ears.

Isn't it, and there are Hu people with such a slippery pronunciation?

looked up blankly, but saw a young man with a long sword on his back, about the same age as himself, with a pure Han appearance.

"You're also here for an interview?"
