Wen Bupo came with a learning attitude this time, and he didn't plan to take credit, so Chen Xu was still very enthusiastic and talked with him for nearly an hour, mainly explaining some business models in later generations and how Liangguo should develop the economy according to local conditions.

The Liang Kingdom is now sandwiched between the Western Regions and Great Qin, and judging from the enthusiasm of the Hu merchants in the Western Regions to and from Great Qin, the Liang Kingdom still has a lot to do as a necessary way.

Relying on credit to develop the economy is just an expedient measure, in fact, in Chen Xu's view, in addition to vigorously developing agriculture to increase food production, you can also rely on the unique geographical advantages to develop catering and accommodation, the best way is naturally to imitate the Oriental Road, build a road across the east and west, set up service stations and logistics markets along the way, in order to provide perfect services for the caravans, the whole Liang country is thousands of miles long, and the travelers should stay in the territory for a month or two, as long as there is a perfect infrastructure and services, The business travelers who come and go are naturally willing to stop and trade, especially the merchants in the Central Plains are not willing to travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions, but as long as the road conditions are good, they will not refuse too much to pull the goods down the Liang Kingdom, so that a large number of Hu merchants in the Western Regions can trade in the Liang Kingdom, and after a few years, the Liang Kingdom will inevitably slowly prosper.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be rushed.

The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and difficult at the end, but as long as you do it, the situation will gradually improve.

After a while, after drinking three or five cups of tea, Chen Xu still felt a little dry mouth, and Wen Bupo's face was red with excitement, feeling that he had benefited a lot from this rash visit, and it seemed that all of a sudden he saw a golden avenue, on which the Central Plains and Western Regions Hu merchants who were rushing back and forth were throwing a lot of money on the road.

"Master Hou, if you want to build a cement avenue like Dongfang Road, it is estimated that the cost is expensive, and the national strength of the Liang country is too weak to support, I don't know if Master Hou can help buy some cement on credit!" Hearing the excitement, Wen Bupo said excitedly.

"Poof, ahem......"

Chen Xu shook his hand and almost poured a cup of tea into his nose, hurriedly put down the teacup and shook the tea on his clothes, and then shook his head and said: "Liangguo is different from the Central Plains, the terrain is complex enough, the terrain is flat enough, and it only needs to be leveled to be a road, even if it needs cement, it is only a bridge on some rivers, and a cement road more than 3,000 miles long is not said to be that you Liangguo can't afford to repair it, and I Daqin can't afford to repair it now, so don't be too obsessed with building a cement road, At present, I Daqin is building roads all over the country, and the cement is not enough for yourself, you should think about it more after you go back, the road is not how smooth it is, as long as you can pass the carriage smoothly, set up enough service stations along the way, provide complete maintenance, catering, accommodation, trading and other places, so that the business travel can get enough convenience on the line, and as far as possible, the tax will be reduced or reduced, the businessman is only for money, and everyone will go if the business tax is too high, the businessman will naturally stay away......"

"Hou Ye's words are not broken, and sure enough, Hou Ye has far-reaching knowledge!" Wen Bupo did not show the slightest displeasure about Chen Xu's refusal to buy cement on credit, but was grateful to Chen Xu for his proposal.

Generally speaking, a group of staff members brought by Yinggao to Liangguo are not good at business, and the Yue people are even less good at business.

However, it is impossible to rob at the moment, once there are Hu merchants in the Western Regions and merchants in the Central Plains who are robbed on the territory of Liangguo, it is estimated that they will be cut into meat sauce by the forbidden army of King Liang.

Wen Bupo was originally a minister, but now he was chased by Yinggao to be the chief official in charge of trade and trade, Wen Bupo was still a little resistant at first, but since the last time he came to Xianyang to see the prosperity of Xianyang and the dazzling array of goods, he felt that he must have gone to the wrong place, this is definitely not the Central Plains he saw when he was studying in Zhao State, he didn't come for more than ten years, he couldn't recognize it at all, Xianyang seemed to suddenly appear out of thin air from another time and space, flat cement road, The running four-wheeled carriages, the newspapers and books sold, the delicious and fragrant food, the fancy clothes, the bustling shopping malls, the exquisite porcelain glass, the waterwheel mills, the factories, the Weihe Bridge, the Keju field, etc., etc., compared with Handan, the capital of Zhao State, which used to feel extremely prosperous, and Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin, are completely like a clown, and they are not the same era at all.

And Wen Bupo feels like a clown.

At the beginning, it was ridiculous to think that the Yue clan could bargain with Daqin to obtain the same status, but he was soon ruthlessly crushed by the Daqin army, and later in the Yue clan, he also repeatedly heard how prosperous Daqin was, but he never saw it, and after he saw it, he only had an inferiority complex deep into the bone marrow, and even had a blank mind for a long time before he slowly sobered up.

And after returning to Liangguo, Wen Bupo completely became a die-hard fan of Daqin, and he felt that only by holding Daqin's leg to the death could the Yue clan have a bright future.

Therefore, after becoming the commerce bureau of Liangguo, Wen Bupo began to work hard for the development of Liangguo, but after all, the profession is not right, and the business of Liangguo has not improved in the slightest for more than a month, which makes him bear huge pressure, and he has been repeatedly asked about business by King Liang in the court, and at the same time, countless ministers accuse him of occupying the pit and not, which makes him a little anxious.

An hour later, Wen Bupo got up and said goodbye with a thousand thanks, and also left a cart of gifts to express King Liang's gratitude to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu didn't care too much about King Liang's gift.

Because Yue's basically has no special products that the Central Plains people can look at except for rouge leather goods.

However, when Wen Bupo opened the carriage and opened one of the rattan baskets to reveal more than a dozen round yellow skin and hemp melons and fruits inside, Chen Xu felt that he was kissed by a pig all of a sudden.

", cantaloupe ......" Chen Xu's excited saliva was about to flow down.

"Master Hou, this melon is produced on the edge of the desert near the Ili River, called Qionglong, and I commissioned a few Yiwu merchants to bring it......"

"Haha, very good, very good, thank you Mr. Wen, thank you for your eight generations of ancestors, this melon has been thinking about it for a long time!" Chen Xu held Wen Bupo's hand and shook it again and again, happily closing his mouth.

Wen Bupo also smiled and hurriedly said: "Bupo also thanks to the eight generations of Hou Ye's ancestors, if it wasn't for Hou Ye's help last time, Bu Po Yan can have today's honor......"

Chen Xu: ......

"I heard that Hou Ye likes to collect all kinds of melons, fruits, vegetables and other species, and in order to cultivate melons and fruits in the Western Regions, he even spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a greenhouse greenhouse, this dome melon heard that only in Yiwu can grow well, strong and sweet, and the rest of the places are cultivated in a bland taste, in the past, Yiwu people relied on this melon and neighboring transactions to obtain huge profits, but the yield of this melon is very small, and can not be preserved for a long time, only the Western Regions Qianghu can taste, this time to come to Beijing, Bupo specially commissioned Shang Jia to bring hundreds from Yiwu, But most of them are damaged and mildew on the way because of the bumps, and in the end there is not one of the ten left, some of which have been entrusted to Xiyue Hou Xian and His Majesty the First Emperor, and the rest are all here, as long as the Hou Ye likes it, it is not in vain to ask for a purchase! ”

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wen has a heart, this melon Benhou has indeed been planted, but it is true that the taste is weak because of water and soil, and now several of my ladies are pregnant, just eat some sweet melons and fruits to appetize, come on, go to the treasury to get ten horses of silk to give back to Mr. Wen!"

"No, no, how dare you let Master Hou break the bank!" Wen Bupo hurriedly shook his head.

"Mr. Wen don't use excuses, ten silk horses should be thanked, and there is no other intention, this Yiwu to Xianyang four or five thousand miles, the transportation cost is very expensive, otherwise if it can be transported to Daqin in large quantities, it will definitely be a lucrative deal!"

"What Hou Ye said is, it is true that the loss of storage and transportation is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses, and when I bother Hou Ye for a long time today, I will no longer bother if I don't break it, so I will leave for the time being, and I will visit again in a few days!"

Wen Bupo officially said goodbye and left after receiving the ten pieces of silk sent by the servants of the Hou Mansion.

"Come on, send these melons to the kitchen, and count the remaining gifts!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he happily hugged a cantaloupe and went straight to the backyard.

Fang Cai was still thinking about who would thank his eighth-generation ancestors if he got him cantaloupe, but soon his dream came true, Chen Xu instantly felt that his luck had exploded recently, and decided to give more guidance to Wen Bupo in the future, not only can he speak, but he is also very careful, and he first gave it to the emperor before giving it to himself, so that he would not let others chew on the root of his tongue.

And Wen Bupo got these cantaloupes are definitely not as simple and random as he said, this cantaloupe is a semi-wild fruit at the moment, the yield is extremely low, it is definitely not easy to get hundreds at a time, and to transport it to Xianyang for thousands of miles I don't know how much manpower and material resources it takes, and time is the biggest destroyer.

Therefore, the cost of these more than ten cantaloupes will not be less than the value of ten pieces of silk, but they will not be equated in people's hearts, because the use is different.

"Master Hou, how can there be honeydew melons in late autumn now?"

Fan Caiying, who was sitting on the kang with a big belly knitting a small sweater, saw Chen Xu coming in with a honeydew melon, and hurriedly beckoned the two personal maids to help her down to greet her.

"You are about to give birth, sit still, I heard that you have a poor appetite these days, this melon is a melon from the Western Regions presented by the envoy of Liangguo, which is different from the one we planted ourselves, and the husband will come to the lady to taste it later!" Chen Xu helped Fan Caiying to make it on the chair, and then instructed the maid to fetch the knives and fruit plates, and peel and cut them by herself.

"Wow, Master Hou, this melon is really sweet!" The moment the orange-red cantaloupe was cut, a rich sweet taste spread, and the two little maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaim excitedly.

"That's nature, this melon looks similar to the one we grow, but the quality is completely different, you go and invite the three ladies and Xi'er to taste it together." Chen Xu instructed while cleaning up the melon pulp.
