Chapter 648: Western Regions Chamber of Commerce
Since the news that a group of Tang Dynasty imperial historians are about to collectively send envoys to the countries and will be resident in the countries and want to sign letters of state with the countries to ensure the safety of the Silk Road, many powerful people are suddenly excited.
It has always been known that the profits of the Silk Road are amazing, but most of them are Hu merchants who ventured to come, and the real people of the Tang Dynasty dare to take the Silk Road are very chatty, only the Mo family claims to have traveled around the country of the extreme west, and the other is the monk Xuanzang who ventured westward a few years ago, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.
One of them is an ancestor of the Mo family, and the other is a Buddhist monk, both of whom are not afraid of life and death for their ideals, and ordinary people don't want to become a dry bone under the long yellow sand.
However, the situation has changed dramatically today, once the Tang Dynasty Imperial History is stationed in the countries, the safety of the Tang Dynasty merchants will be greatly guaranteed, especially some of the magnates of Chang'an City, who are familiar with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and these imperial envoys will definitely give priority to their interests.
The pursuit of interests, the existence of the Tang Dynasty's envoys, and the self-confidence brought by the Tang Dynasty's strong national strength gave birth to the idea of a group of powerful people to take a trip to the Silk Road. However, a single magnate naturally did not dare to take risks easily, and only the major magnates joined forces to form a huge caravan, so that they could help each other and bear the risks together.
"Who's in charge?" The Wei family master asked.
Wei Si'an said with a straight face: "Chai Lingwu of the Chai family!" ”
"I didn't expect the Chai family to push him to the table!" The Wei family master groaned.
Wei Si'an thought for a while and said: "After the big military parade, the momentum of the Chai family has risen sharply, and among the countries of the Western Regions this time, there is also his eldest brother Chai Zhewei among them, and it is reasonable for the Chai family to take the lead, and it is said that many Guanlong families have responded. ”
The governance of the Yellow River has greatly weakened the interests of the Guanlong family, and in order to find a way out, how can the Guanlong family let go of such a rich oil and water on the Silk Road.
"You go and get in touch first, if this matter is successful, my Wei family naturally can't fall under others." The head of the Wei family couldn't wait to say, now that the Wei family has been repeatedly sniped by Mojia Village, the money and food have been greatly reduced, and the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce can not miss such a money-making thing.
"Yes!"
Wei Si'an nodded helplessly, now that the Wei family's official career has been interrupted, these business matters naturally have to be brought forward by him, which is the most appropriate, I don't see that most of these families are the second son of the family.
I don't know if it's the bad habit of the gentlemen, but the location of this discussion to establish the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce is also in the sect. When Wei Si'an arrived at the priest's hall, he happened to see an unexpected figure.
"Mo Jiazi!" Wei Si'an frowned, he didn't expect that Chai Lingwu would invite the Mo family to come to the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, but it is reasonable to think about it, if it is about making a fortune, the younger generation of the Mo family will have no one to match, with the addition of the Mo family, the probability of success of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce will be doubled.
"Brother Mo, I'll give my little brother a face this time, if it doesn't work, I'll leave later." Fang Yiai on the side stalked on the side, the reason why Merton came this time was because Fang Er personally came to the door and pulled it in.
"You are the second son of the Fang Mansion, why are you involved in these things!" Merton said helplessly.
Fang Er Gongzi suddenly said in a strange manner: "Your brother Mo is like gold, who in the entire Chang'an City doesn't want to be envious, but the full man doesn't know that the evil man is hungry, relying on the monthly money of the Fang Mansion alone, the little brother may not have the face to go out at all." ”
Qin Huaiyu and the three of them sit on the shares of Mojia Food City, and the annual distribution is eye-catching, only his second room is the most down, although the house is not short of his money, but if you want to be big, it is impossible.
Merton looked at Fang Yiai in surprise and said, "You are not afraid of Fang Xiang's blame!" ”
"You think it's a family affair? This has been tacitly approved by the magnates of Chang'an, the civil officials paved the way, the military attaches sent people, and jointly funded the funds, and besides, we are not the people who make the people's fat and the people's ointment, so what reason does my father have to object. "Fang Yiai is full of confidence.
Only then did Morton suddenly realize in his heart that this time the imperial court was too embarrassed to eat, and he directly swallowed all the profits of the silk, so he acquiesced to the establishment of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.
"Brother Mo is here, and the younger brother is disrespectful!" Chai Lingwu, who had already received the news, stepped forward directly and said with a warm face.
"Brother Chai is warmly invited, how dare you not give face!" Merton was already familiar with the hypocrisy of officialdom and said politely.
Chai Lingwu was even more enthusiastic when he heard this, and said with a greeting for a while: "Brother Mo, Brother Fang, please come in!" The brothers in it have been waiting for a long time. ”
Entering the teaching workshop, I saw Chai Lingwu directly wrapping a courtyard, on the high platform in the courtyard, several charming dancers danced beautifully, the sound of silk and bamboo continued, the surrounding square table wine and delicacies continued, many seats were already full of people, Merton looked around, only to see that in addition to Wei Si'an, most of the people who sat were some people who did not know the brocade clothes.
Fang Er explained in a low voice on the side: "Most of the people who come are the second sons of each family, and the real person will only appear when the real decision is made." ”
Mo Dun suddenly realized that Mojia Village was the only one who could make decisions, so he could only let him come today.
Merton was not familiar with everyone, but everyone was very enthusiastic about Merton, and when they saw Merton coming in, they all nodded and said hello, and after a while, Merton met a large number of gentlemen in Chang'an City.
Soon, the people who should have arrived had already arrived, Chai Lingwu waved his hand, and immediately all the dancing girls evacuated. Only a group of powerful sons are left here.
"I believe you all understand the purpose of the little brother to summon you to come, the Silk Road has always been controlled by Hu merchants, but my Datang has gained little, and now my Datang Yushi is stationed in the motherland, and the time is ripe for me to enter the Silk Road!" Chai Lingwu looked around.
Many of the children of the powerful nodded their heads, they were willing to come today, and they were obviously excited about the Silk Road.
"We are waiting for this opportunity today, of course, thanks to the Tang silk system envisioned by Brother Mo." After Chai Lingwu finished speaking, everyone instantly focused their eyes on Merton's body.
"At the same time, Brother Mo is also my famous God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, and his means of turning stones into gold are admirable. Chai Lingwu saluted solemnly towards Merton, and suddenly the other powerful children were also breathless.
Feeling the hot gaze of everyone, Morton realized that Chai Lingwu had to let him come for the purpose of being an endorsement for the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce.
Merton said helplessly: "As long as you can ensure safety along the way and go back and forth safely, you will naturally make no profits!" ”
After Merton finished speaking, all the powerful children suddenly cheered.
Chai Lingwu suddenly showed a smile of satisfaction, as long as he could make money, naturally the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce would definitely be able to do it.
"Brother Mo, rest assured, we will enter the countries that have signed the letter of state with my Datang, and we will not easily get into danger. However, the younger brother is only a shallow learner, if Brother Mo can personally guide the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, we will voluntarily offer a percent of dry shares in return. Chai Lingwu looked at Morton Zhengsedao.
Suddenly, everyone's breath was stagnant, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce had concentrated so many connections and wealth, the financial resources must be extremely strong, and the future income must be incalculable, Chai Lingwu directly offered a percent of dry shares, which was an amazing wealth.
However, no one refuted it, because the myth of the wealth of Mojia Village was there, and the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce with and without Merton were fundamentally two different concepts.
Mo Dun glanced at Chai Lingwu unexpectedly, shook his head firmly, and said: "Mo is an official of the imperial court, so it is naturally inconvenient to join the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, and Mojia Village will not participate in it. ”
"Why is this, didn't Brother Mo just say that taking the Silk Road is a sure way to make money and not lose money?" A powerful kid asked.
Merton nodded and said: "Although the Silk Road is profitable, the cycle is too long, and there is a shortage of manpower in Mojia Village, so I am afraid that there will be no manpower for a while." Moreover, the focus of Mojia Village is on the Tang Dynasty, which will never change. ”
As for the excuse of the shortage of manpower in Mojia Village, everyone naturally won't believe it, but Morton clearly refused to become a dry share, which made everyone can't help but feel a little more kind to him, after all, if Morton occupies too much, it will directly squeeze the share of other families in disguise. When interests are involved, people will naturally not be merciful.
"Brother Mo Gaoyi, I admire you!" Chai Lingwu said with admiration. Chai Lingwu didn't know whether to regret or breathe a sigh of relief, this matter was promoted by his Chai family, if they made a wedding dress for Merton, then wouldn't they be busy in vain.
Everyone nodded, and one by one they threw their high hats at Merton as if they didn't want money.
"But I still want to ask Brother Mo to cut off a thing, with this thing, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce will definitely be unimpeded." Chai Lingwu's voice changed.
Merton frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Fang Yiai next to him, only to see Fang Yiai couldn't help but take a sip of tea to cover up, obviously the two had a premeditated plan.
"Brother Chai doesn't know what he has come to eye?" Merton was silent.
"That is the treasure that crisscrossed the desert when Mohou went west." Chai Lingwu Zhengse.
"Compass!"
Merton suddenly suddenly, when Morton used the compass in front of thousands of soldiers, this matter naturally can't be hidden from some people with a heart, on the Silk Road, yellow sand everywhere, if you lose your way, it will be fatal, with a compass, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce has the confidence to walk in the desert.
"Brother Mo, you just help the little brother this time, this thing is the key to our success or failure." Fang Yiai pleaded, before that, he promised to get a compass, which was the most important reason why he asked Muston to come.
"Although Brother Mo offers a price for this thing, the younger brother will never make a counteroffer!" Chai Lingwu said without hesitation.
Morton couldn't help but groan, the role of the compass is big and big, small and small, sometimes it is not needed at all, it can only work wonders at a certain moment, and there is Sinan Zhuyu in front, there is no need to keep it secret.
Merton nodded and said: "There is no need to talk about the price, if the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce returns with a full load in the future, it can be donated to the Red Cross, which should also be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
Chai Lingwu immediately said without hesitation: "This is nature. ”
"Well, ten days later, the compass will definitely be sent to Chai Mansion and I will say goodbye!" Seeing that there was no need for him to stay here, Merton immediately got up and took his leave.
Refusing Chai Lingwu's send-off, Merton strode out of the sect's workshop, and couldn't help but sigh, because of his butterfly effect, it had already set off a huge storm in Datang, and he didn't expect that the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, which was similar to the East India Company in later generations, would appear in Datang.
The money on the Silk Road is not clean, which is why Merton is reluctant to have too much to do with the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, but he knows that this kind of gray trade exists in any era, and he is looking forward to how far the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce will develop!
