Sima Chuan walked out of Nanjiangxuan and let out a sigh of relief - the negotiation was finally completed!

Since then, exquisite gold ornaments, tea, and silk from Suzhou, Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou can continue to travel north from here, reach the noble tents of the Turkic steppe tribes, and wear them on the necks, ears, hands, and feet of those noble ladies, and in exchange for the indispensable good horses on the desert grassland, which are sold to the ordnance supervisor, which sounds like a good business, in fact, Sima Chuan knows very well that this is a profitable business.

If it weren't for the fact that a very small number of horses were sold to the high-ranking families in the north and the dignitaries of Chang'an, so as to recover some losses, this business would have lost money.

Because, the price of selling the horses to the ordnance supervisor was extremely low and extremely low stipulated by Qin Pei. Compared with the underground horse markets in Hebei, Shuofang and Hedong, the average price is more than twice as low!

Xuanzong knew these things clearly, and this was also due to his instructions. However, he had no way to make amends to Qin Pei.

In the second year of Kaiyuan, in order to prevent the tendency of sacrificing the basics in the trade with the north, Xuanzong issued an edict prohibiting the export of three categories: metals, silk fabrics, and rare treasures. Originally, these three things were the same as tea and porcelain, and they belonged to extremely profitable things, but because of this, there was an argument that the government and the opposition did not pay attention to agriculture and business, and the people were even more so.

Today's people may not understand why they don't do a business with money, even if metals and exotic treasures are scarce and non-renewable resources, but what about silk fabrics? It is silkworm eating mulberry leaves spit out of the silk, green natural can also be recycled, the Ming and Qing dynasties are vigorously in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to develop the silk weaving industry, almost one of the most important sources of financial revenue for the country, why also ban exports to inhibit its development?

As everyone knows, the people take food as the sky, and in the era of relying on the sky to eat, eating a full stomach is always the first priority, regardless of the monarch and minister. Why heavy farming? Quite simply, because man has to eat; Why should we suppress business, because in the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, you don't have to buy the necessities of life, you can do and grow your own business, and the businessmen pursue profits, and their morals are corrupt, which is not conducive to the rule of courtesy, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, and is not conducive to social stability. If everyone sees that silk fabrics are profitable, they all go to raise silkworms and grow mulberry, who will plow the land and grow vegetables?

Therefore, Xuanzong banned the export of these products, and also strictly ordered the envoys of all sections and the county magistrates on the border to take strict precautions on the road to investigate the smuggling activities of smugglers and foreign businessmen.

Attention, it's a bootlegger. What Sima Chuan represents is not a small smuggler force. Behind him is Qin Pei, the current Duke of Hu, and behind Qin Pei is Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to geographical constraints, the conditions for raising horses in Datang are really not very good. A large area of grassland is in the north of the desert, and horses must be grazed, which is very different from the living habits of the Central Plains people. However, the fierce military strength that is famous all over the world and intimidating all generations comes from the bow and crossbow, and the second comes from the cavalry.

Therefore, Xuanzong simply became a smuggler himself and let Qin Pei change horses, because the treasury was really limited, so he could only lower the purchase price on Qin Pei's side, and in order to compensate Hu Guogong, he could only do some policy convenience in other places, which was better than nothing.

Nanjiangxuan is the largest shop in Fanyang and even in the whole of Hebei Province, and everyone says that the owner is a delicate young woman, very shrewd. But Sima Chuan's heart is as bright as a mirror, even if he doesn't have that kind of relationship with Fluttershy, he should understand that doing business with the Hu people in this place and doing it on such a large scale, no matter how shrewd you are, dare to say that it has nothing to do with An Lushan Anjun King?

Remembering Fluttershy's soft, weak, resentful eyes just before he came out, Sima Chuan's heart flutters, and he recalls the first time he met Fluttershy. Five years ago, when he first arrived in Fanyang, he didn't know if he listened to that bastard's suggestion, but he really regarded Mo Xiaodie, the big shopkeeper of Nanjiangxuan, as An Lushan's taboo, and even talked about meeting An Lushan in a roundabout way, but Fluttershy just smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously. But I didn't know if I was evil or ghostly, so I drank two more glasses, and I actually felt sorry for the beauty in my words! Fluttershy gets angry and tries to fight him with the strength of the wine, but is finally pressed to the ground by Sima Chuan, who doesn't beg for mercy or scold, but just sheds tears, which makes Sima Chuan panic. However, since then, Sima Chuan has also understood that the relationship between Fluttershy and An Lushan is not as dirty as some people think, she is just because her father and mother saved An Lushan's life back then, and An Lushan forcibly repaid her kindness.

An Lushan's method of repaying his kindness is also ridiculous. When he learns that Fluttershy has inherited her husband's small shop alone after being a widow, he forcibly orders all the merchants to enter the city, regardless of whether they buy or sell, from Mo Xiaodie's Nanjiang Xuan, and those who come into contact with other businesses without permission will be fined and driven out of the city. In this way, in less than two years, Nan Jiangxuan has become Fan Yang's number one signboard, and although Fluttershy is helpless, she can't resist the powerful An Lushan, so she can only go to him. Fortunately, Fluttershy herself is not a treacherous person, she has never relied on An Lushan's backing to bully the market, and she still does business in a proper manner.

Sima Chuan walks down the street thinking about Fluttershy, and here Fluttershy sits in the chair that Sima Chuan just left, thinking about him stupidly.

Both of them have been dead since childhood, and after a drink and a fight, Fluttershy feels nostalgic for her life and has a secret affection for Sima Chuan, and after a good time, Fluttershy's heart is even hotter. If it weren't for the fact that he had been married and Sima Chuan was two years older, I am afraid that he would have left everything behind and followed him. I just hope that Sima Chuan can take the initiative a little, even if there is a hint. But this piece of wood just doesn't open the mind, how many times have you had a good opportunity to be in the dark room together, and the domineering who pressed her under her at the beginning didn't know where to run, and she hid vigorously, hidden!

Thinking of this, Fluttershy gritted her silver teeth in hatred and poked the hairpin into the table.

"If I knew I was going to run again, I shouldn't have agreed to him!"

Remembering what the enemy had come to discuss with her today, Fluttershy smiles a little smugly.

"Humph! This kind of business is not something that can be done smoothly in a day or two, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, and you can hide from the fifteenth? Mrs. Houben ...... This girl doesn't believe that she can't take you! ”

Fluttershy calls herself Madame in front of others, and she never hides the fact that she is married. But she was never willing to call herself Mrs. in front of Sima Chuan - her husband was a medicine jar who passed away less than a month after getting married, and she was still Yunying. Thinking of Sima Chuan's sturdy body, Fluttershy's starry eyes gradually blurred again, and she was fascinated......

"Yiqing, how long do you want me to wait......"

Sima Chuan walked dignifiedly, and suddenly sneezed, and inexplicably, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, accompanied by the shouts of unknown people:

"Get out of the way! General Tian was ordered to sacrifice Chang'an prisoner, and the idlers avoided it! ”
