Chapter 456: Guishan wants to build a city

The business war is also a game between the two countries, and now that Great Qin has taken the Donghu, Dayue, and Xiongnu tribes, the materials that Guishan can provide to Great Qin, these three tribes can also provide Great Qin. In other words, Guishan's material demand for Daqin is greater than Daqin's demand for Guishan.

It is precisely because of this that Daqin has the pricing power in his transaction with Guishuang. If Guishuang wanted to trade with Daqin, he could only let Daqin lead the way. Then, in the transaction, it was eaten away by Daqin little by little.

You can't become a big fat man by eating it in one bite. Li Chen's quotation to Guishuang was not very excessive, it was only about half the price of Daqin's internal transactions. This price is not outrageous in the eyes of the Guishan people, you must know that when they traded with Da Qin through Da Yue before, they still had to be made by Da Yue to earn the difference.

The Kushan envoy got the quotation, which was far cheaper than he expected. The things he wanted had arrived, and the Guishan envoy sent someone to say goodbye to Li Chen, and immediately rushed to Guishuang non-stop.

As soon as the Guishan envoy left, Yuecheng's side also began to move. Li Chen expected that once the news of trade reached Guishan, then the merchants of Guishan would inevitably rush to Daqin as soon as possible. The Kushan Empire is not Dayue, a small clan like Donghu, it has a population of several million, which is a massive domestic demand.

Under the leadership of the Lijiazhuang Chamber of Commerce, the major chambers of commerce in Daqin began to follow the example of the Lijiazhuang Chamber of Commerce and began to store goods in large quantities to Yuecheng. Fortunately, now the highways in Daqin have been opened, and the horse-drawn carriages walk on the spacious cement roads, and the transportation efficiency is exceptionally high.

When these merchants of Great Qin were dealing with the alien races, they all had a tacit understanding, and they all played the essence of their profiteers. That is, in addition to the old wine, all the old goods are shipped here. Anyway, these aliens don't have much knowledge, and some of the goods that can't be sold in Daqin and are disliked by the people of Daqin are all transported to Yuecheng.

Kushan Empire, the capital.

Guishan was able to develop from a tribal civilization to the present, almost by emulating Great Qin. The early dynasty system of Great Qin was naturally imitated by Guishan.

In the early dynasty, Emperor Kushan handed a quotation with many copies to the civil and military officials. The ministers of Guishan quietly looked at the slip in their hands, and almost everyone here represented a big family behind them, and this slip was related to the interests of each of them.

"Damn, Da Yue, these bastards, didn't eat our kickbacks at the beginning." After a moment of calm in the court, a rough man in armor soon cursed angrily.

"Qin Ren's offer is indeed very reasonable, for example, the price of this tea, the price of this salt is thirty percent cheaper than the price we expected before." An old man from Guishan spoke.

The best goods sold in Daqin on the grassland are salt and tea, which can be said to be necessities of life on the grassland.

Of course, the salt that Daqin sold to the grassland is not a good salt, it is all some defective products that have been screened out. However, even the inferior products of Daqin are much stronger than the yellow-brown and bitter mineral salt on the grassland.

There are also tea leaves sold to the grassland, not to mention some old teas that can't be sold in Daqin, and there are a lot of tea stalks and other things mixed in them. When this tea comes out, the taste is no better than soaking the leaves.

This price is reasonable in the eyes of the Kushan people, because they have not seen the market. At this price, the merchants of Daqin can be said to have earned three or five times more with tears.

Emperor Kushan looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "Since you are satisfied with this price, then organize various caravans to go to Moon City to trade as soon as possible." This is the first time we have conducted a large-scale transaction with Great Qin, so you should tell your respective caravans to abide by the rules of the Qin people and not annoy the Qin people. ”

In the eyes of Emperor Kushan, this opportunity for trade was hard to win. Nowadays, smooth trade is the most important thing, and no individual can affect trade with Daqin.

Today, there is a rare lack of quarrels in the Guishan court, and there is no mutual tilting between major interest groups and the exchange of interests between each other. Emperor Guishan gave each of them equal opportunities to trade with Great Qin, and it was up to them how much benefit they could get from the transaction.

Of course, Emperor Guishan cut this piece of cake to everyone so happily, so he naturally had what he wanted to obtain.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"I intend to build a new city three hundred miles from the capital." Sure enough, Emperor Guishan quickly stated his purpose.

He wanted to build a city, to build a new city. Ever since he saw the portrait of Yuecheng brought by the Guishan envoy, the Guishan Emperor has become more and more disgusted with his own capital. He felt that Heyue City must have said that the capital city of Guishan was like a kennel, and it was not even as good as a kennel.

"Founding a city?" Regarding Emperor Guishan's thoughts, the ministers were very puzzled. The royal capital is already the largest city in Guishan, and in order to build this city, Guishan can be said to have gathered the strength of the whole clan.

"Your Majesty, why did you build a city?"

"Our royal capital is already the largest city in Guishan, and even if we build a new city, it may not be able to compare with the royal capital."

"Your Majesty, building a city now can be described as a waste of money and labor, and there is no need to build a city at all?"

The Kushan ministers spoke one after another, and in short, they did not support the idea of the Kushan Emperor to build a city.

"Do you think the king is big?" Emperor Kushan asked.

The ministers were puzzled, but they still replied, "That's naturally big." ”

"Do you think the royal capital is prosperous?" Emperor Kushan continued to ask.

"The king has more than 700,000 people, so it is naturally prosperous." Another minister replied.

"Then what do you think of our royal capital compared to Moon City?" Emperor Kushan asked again.

Guishan is very far away from Yuecheng, even if it is a BMW that travels thousands of miles in a day and 800 in a night, it will take half a month to travel from Guishan to Yuecheng. Therefore, the minister who is doing it has not been to Moon City. Although he hadn't been there, there was still a minister of Guishan who inferred: "Yuecheng is just a city in the border pass of Great Qin, and it can't compare to our royal capital." ”

"If it is Great Qin's Xianyang, it must be stronger than our royal capital, but how can this Moon City be compared to our royal capital."

"That is, if you want to compare, you have to compare with Xianyang."

A group of ministers in Guishan echoed one after another.

"Guys, look at this picture."

With a wave of his hand, the Guishan Emperor saw two guards unfurl a picture scroll, which was the picture of the Moon City after the Guishan envoy had undergone artistic repairs.

Looking at this beautiful picture, the ministers of Guishan were simply stunned.

"This painting, could it be Xianyang City?" The minister with Kushan asked.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was immediately interrupted, and another person spoke: "How is this possible, such a city must be a heavenly immortal palace. ”

"This is Moon City." At this time, Emperor Guishan spoke.
