Chapter 472: Plan Ahead

Li Dongsheng knew about the backwardness of various production tools and means of production in the surrounding countries, but why did he give them the technology that the Han people had summed up for generations so selflessly, wait for them to develop, and see the weakness of the Central Plains to attack us?

In Li Dongsheng's view, we should always maintain the dimensionality reduction attack on the surrounding peoples, whether it is the grassland peoples or small countries, and always maintain the suppression of them by technology. Whenever they want to turn the sky upside down, press them to the ground and rub them.

Li Dongsheng came out of the bookstore and was about to go to the department store to have a look, anyway, there was nothing to do, just take Xiaoju around. Suddenly, a businessman who was buying goods in the crowd approached, saluted Li Dongsheng, and said in surprise: "Li Gongzi... No, Master Li, I really didn't expect to meet you here! ”

Li Dongsheng took a closer look, and it turned out to be Wang Tai, whom he had just met here, who was looking at him in surprise with an excited look.

Li Dongsheng still saw him a long time ago, and helped him solve an agency matter, but he didn't expect to meet him thousands of miles away from home, and it was also a great joy in life to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and he also said happily: "It turned out to be Brother Wang, how did you get here?" ”

Wang Taidao: "I am a businessman, of course, where there are business opportunities, I will go, and now Guizhou is thriving, of course I have to come to find opportunities." ”

Li Dongsheng looked at him strangely, and then looked behind him, more than a dozen horses were behind, and a few subordinates were carrying goods to the horses, most of them were tea and sugar, and a small number of flower water and mosquito coils and other things.

Li Dongsheng immediately knew his identity, he was a businessman who walked the ancient tea horse road, he worked very hard and couldn't make any money, and then looked at Wang Tai's face with wind and frost. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

"A few years ago, Brother Wang didn't have an agent of Xiangyi Materia Medica, I dare not say that he is rich and rich, and he should also have no worries about food and clothing, how could he come to such a far place to be a businessman?" Li Dongsheng asked curiously. Update the fastest mobile phone: ://

"Alas, that agent was snatched away by the family, and I had no choice but to go to a place where they couldn't reach to make a living." Wang Tai's face is not good-looking, no matter who it is, his things are snatched away by others and forced to stay away from his hometown, this hatred is not small. Fastest update on PC:/

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "That agent originally only recognized you, Brother Wang, how could you transfer it?" "That's the agent who agrees with Wang Tai who gave him the opportunity to be an agent, and it has nothing to do with any of his relatives.

"It's a long story, you don't have to say anything about the family and pollute your ears!"

"Okay then, I'll go to the market first, you will come to the Yamen of the Tea Division later, I have something to ask you!"

Wang Tai bowed with joy on his face: "The villain received!" ”

In the living room of the tea division, Li Dongsheng sat on the main seat and said to Wang Tai with a smile: "Come, how about you try this tea?" ”

Wang Tai picked up the bowl and took a sip carefully, frowning. Li Dongsheng looked at it and asked, "What do you think of the taste of this tea?" ”

Wang Tai thought for a while and said: "Lord Hui, the taste of this tea is completely different from the taste of tea in Jiangnan, the aroma is significantly higher than that, and the color is red and the taste is sweet, is this a new variety of tea!" ”

Li Dongsheng nodded and said: "This tea is what I just thought of, Jiangnan and Lingnan tea, of course they want to be fresh, but like the grassland and Tubo, where the road is far away, the tea is not fresh when it is transported over, which affects the taste!" ”

Wang Tai nodded and said: "Adults always take into account the details when doing things, so I'm not afraid of losing money when I cooperate with you." I think this tea is specially prepared for long-distance transportation? ”

"Yes, in Guizhou, in Guangzhou everywhere there are merchants from all over the world, they see tea very much, the previous tea bricks can also meet their needs, but a little farther away is not good, now this kind of tea is OK, no matter how high the temperature is, there is no problem with putting it for a year, and even the more you put it, the more fragrant it is. Do you think it can meet the needs of people in remote areas? ”

Wang Taidao: "Of course you can, and where it is more popular among those poor people, they don't buy much, and they don't drink it every day, and this kind of long-term storage is definitely in short supply." ”

Li Dongsheng snorted, ignoring Wang Tai's longing woodpipe: "Forget it, I'll talk about this tea later, anyway, I don't have to do much, don't worry about selling." I called you here to ask if you have been doing business with the natives for so long, and how many businessmen like you do business with the natives? What are they selling a little more? ”

Wang Tai heard this and hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, it is really not easy to do business with the natives, first of all, you must be very familiar with the leader of the natives." Moreover, there is no big road to the tribes, and all horses are used to travel through the mountain paths, and if there are fewer people, they will not be able to resist the wild beasts on the roadside, and they may be robbed. If there are more people and more horses, the small families will not be able to bear it. In the past few years, the bulk items I made used to be salt and silk, in exchange for the gold and silver local products of the natives, plus local medicinal materials and animal skins. Now I make white sugar and tea, which is also more suitable for their appetite, especially in the surrounding small countries, which are particularly popular. Now this business is only done by me, although it is profitable, but the supply of goods cannot keep up, and it is more troublesome. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at Li Dongsheng's face, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Li Dongsheng smiled: "Don't worry about the goods, I have them there, but I'm afraid you won't be able to sell them!" ”

"My lord, don't underestimate me, as long as you give me the goods, I can sell hundreds of times more goods than Li Qing and them now!" Wang Tai suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and immediately became excited.

"How much can you sell? I don't believe it, I'm here in cash, and I don't owe it on credit! ”

As soon as Wang Tai saw that there was a play, he immediately said: "My lord, please rest assured, my family is not strong enough, I can find a few more to do it together." As long as the adults believe in me and let me distribute the goods, I promise to sell all the goods! ”

Li Dongsheng was not moved by Wang Tai's bold words, and asked: "Let it go first, you tell me first, where are you selling your goods now?" ”

"My horse team is as far east as Xunzhou, south as far as Langzhou, and west to Tianzhou! Hundreds of local leaders, large and small, are basically all familiar with me, and there is no one who doesn't know me! ”

"Didn't you go west again? For example, Tibet? ”

Wang Taiyi, who was bragging: "This transnational business can't be done by ordinary people, and the Tibetan people are all barbarians, and they are most taboo for outsiders to enter." Very few people do business with them, and I really don't know the details. ”

Li Dongsheng was a little disappointed, he knew the direction of history, the Tibetan Society would develop rapidly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then become a great enemy who had been with the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, loving and killing each other until it collapsed. It would be better if he hadn't developed it now, and it would be better to nip it in the bud directly.
