"Brother-in-law, but there are treasures from the Western Regions in the world, or exotic stunts." Li Zhixing rushed to say, but he knew that every time Murton went to the West Market, he never returned empty-handed.

Merton shook his head, stretched out his hand, and Tie'an, who had been following behind, hurried in the carriage, opening the carriage, revealing a cart full of fine silk.

Merton laughed and said, "Today's task is to spend all this cart of silk!" ”

"A cart of silk!"

"So much?"

Everyone was stunned by a cart full of silk, which is worth a lot of money!

"I don't need to! If it spreads, it will provoke criticism from the court again! Princess Changle hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Call me a loser!" Merton said angrily.

Princess Changle immediately covered her mouth and smiled, and glanced at Merton, what kind of reputation does he not know? If it is rumored that Morton spent a whole load of silk in the West Market for her, maybe she will be able to make trouble in the court the next day, she doesn't want the entire Chang'an City to know that the Mo family spends a lot of money and a beautiful woman, and the last famous thing makes her still have palpitations.

Merton laughed and said, "Then you can rest assured, this time I am not a loser, but I am ordered to spend these silks." ”

"This is the silk from the weaving bureau!" Li Chengqian's eyes were sharp, and he was surprised when he saw the origin of this batch of silk.

"Weaving Bureau!"

Princess Changle has been in the palace for a long time, so she is naturally no stranger to the silk produced by the Weaving Bureau, and she couldn't help but step forward to check it in surprise, and it was indeed silk with the mark of the Weaving Bureau.

"How do you have these silks!" Princess Changle was surprised, it stands to reason that these silks are not in circulation in the market.

Merton said proudly: "Dai Shangshu entrusted me to sell the silk of the imperial court to the countries of the Western Regions, and pulling this cart of silk today is just to explore the market and test the water first, and the real big head is still behind?" ”

Everyone was stunned! Princess Changle couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, and asked which woman in the world doesn't like to buy, buy, buy! Even if it is the eldest princess, it is no exception.

"This carpet is nice!" Princess Changle instantly transformed into a sweeping mode, picked up a Persian carpet and couldn't put it down.

"Girl, good eye, this is the most precious carpet in my Persia, only the nobles can enjoy it!"

The Persian Hu businessman on the side spoke half-baked official dialect and praised Princess Changle's vision.

"Buy!" Merton waved his hand.

"A total of ten taels of silver!" Persian Hu Shang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, there are not many such high rollers!

Merton smiled and said, "We don't have the silver, but I don't know if we can use it to pay the bill!" ”

Merton stretched out his hand, and Tie'an immediately brought in a fine silk.

"This is fine silk!" The eyes of the Persian Hu merchants lit up instantly, looking at the exquisite silk in front of them like a treasure, all the Hu merchants who came to Datang from thousands of miles away had only one purpose, that is, silk, as long as they could successfully transport the silk back, they could immediately get a hundred times the profit, the Silk Road was full of white bones, and it was this high profit that constantly attracted waves of Hu merchants to come to Datang.

Merton smiled slightly, the silk of the Weaving Bureau is a rare boutique in the world, and these Hu merchants will naturally not miss it.

One was happy to see the hunter, the other was generous, and the deal was completed quickly.

When Princess Changle walked out of Hudian with a Persian carpet, Li Chengqian watched the whole transaction and couldn't help but think about it.

"Brother Gao Ming, can you see something!" Merton asked.

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the price of this silk is not enough to cover the price of Persian carpets, why is this Persian Hu merchant gladly willing." ”

During the whole transaction process, Merton did not buy and sell, and they did not reveal their identities, but this transaction with unequal prices turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.

Merton explained: "Brother Gao Ming only saw the price of carpets in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know that carpets in Persia were like silk, although they were valuable, they were not unattainable, rich and noble families abounded, and silk passed through the hands of these Hu merchants and arrived in the far west, and its price was as heavy as gold!" ”

"Silk and gold weigh as much!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe, there are so many silks in the Tang Dynasty, isn't its value .......

"Scarcity is precious, Brother Gao Ming only saw the price of silk, but he didn't see that these Hu merchants set out from the Tang Dynasty and were able to reach the country of the extreme west, which is also one of the reasons why silk is so expensive in the extreme west!" Merton explained.

"Then can we directly sell the silk to the Far West Country and earn the difference ourselves!" Li Chengqian was moved and said, if this can be done, then the benefits obtained by Datang are too great, and he can't help but be moved.

"I believe that one day, this goal can be achieved, but now Datang is still inseparable from these Hu merchants, and now what we have to do is to strive for more benefits for Datang as much as possible on the Silk Road." Merton said solemnly.

Li Chengqian was thoughtful, and then carefully watched every transaction of Merton.

"This jewel is beautiful!" Princess Changle exclaimed.

"Buy!" Merton didn't hesitate to deliver a piece of silk.

"That's not bad either!"

"Buy!"

……………………

After a while, Princess Changle gained a lot, and even Jinyang and Li Zhi also bought a lot of good things by the way, and with Merton spending money in the West Market, soon the entire West Market became a sensation.

"It turned out to be Mohou!" Many Hu merchants in Chang'an City rushed to hear the news, and when they saw Merton, they suddenly realized.

Last year, when the Western Regions Festival, Merton spent as much money as gold, but many Hu businessmen were deeply impressed, and this year's Western Regions Grand Meeting, Morton was far away in Tuguhun and missed, which made many Hu businessmen regretful, but they did not expect that at this time, Merton came to the West Market again, and once again opened the mode of losers.

"There's not a lot of good stuff this year!" Merton looked up at the group of Hu merchants and said with a look of regret.

Hu Shang is Moton's old friend Tie Wu, Tie Wu said with a ashamed face: "Hou Ye, I believe that the books and knowledge you want have spread all over the Western Regions, but from the Tang Dynasty back to Dashi and other countries, it is not a year and a half to be able to come back, Hou Ye only needs to wait for a few years, he will definitely not be disappointed, as soon as there is news, he will definitely notify Mo Fu as soon as possible." ”

Hu Shang, who had just arrived in Datang this year, heard that even parchment rolls and seeds could be sold at the price of gemstones, and his remorseful intestines were green, who would have thought that the value of these inconspicuous things would far exceed the goods he brought.

Merton nodded, naturally knowing that this matter was urgent, the bait had been sprinkled, and for the sake of now, he had to wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Since there is nothing Benhou wants, then take out your best things for this young lady to choose, and your silk is indispensable." Merton said loudly.

Tie Wu suddenly got up and shouted, "Take out all the treasures you are waiting for for this beautiful young lady to choose!" ”

The news of Merton and Princess Changle is not a secret, Hu Shang, who has been active in the Western Regions all the year round, naturally knows that the woman who stays by Merton's side can only be Princess Changle, but everyone is interested in not picking it out.

Hearing that Merton, who was like a loser, had come to the West Market, the entire West Market suddenly became a sensation, and suddenly countless unheard of treasures were at the hands of Changle to choose.

A whole cart of silk disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in exchange for a cartload full of treasures from the Western Regions, Merton knew a little more about the Silk Road.

"Today's Silk Road traffic is still too small!" Merton lamented that compared with the large-scale trade between countries in later generations, the Silk Road at this moment relied solely on the transportation of camel caravans, which not only had a small transportation volume and a long cycle, but was simply not enough to support large-scale silk trade.

If Datang wants to resell a large amount of silk, it is almost impossible to accomplish, and Dai Guan's task is not so easy to complete.
