Chapter 328: Storming Bahuan City

Chapter 328: Storming Bahuan City

Li Huaitang has been waiting in Bahuan City for more than ten days, and Qi Jishan has been urging in Broken Leaf Town for more than ten days, but there is still no trace of Broken Leaf visitors. The envoy of the Turgish people to negotiate was delayed, but the huge caravan of Ningyuan City arrived on time.

Bahuan City ushered in an unprecedented caravan, thousands of pack horses and camels brought a dazzling array of Datang in-demand goods, from Ningyuan City's own high-end clothing, pickled 'meat', skin 'hair', white cloth, wine, Wu's paper, all kinds of 'color' glass ornaments and 'fine' cups and bowls, as well as other local specialties such as 'Bo' Si 'Mao' blanket, chestnut raisins, Tianzhu gems, hemp rope, Western olive oil and so on, among which the high-end clothes produced by Ningyuan City's 'flower' Rongyun Dress Fang are the most eye-catching.

The most popular is the white die. The white cloth is made of cotton 'flower' weaving, which is warmer and delicate than the linen cloth popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the cotton 'flower' weaving cloth has been there for a long time, but it cannot be popularized, the main reason is that the textile technology is backward and the price is high, just like the expensive delicacies of the sea have no chance to fly into the homes of ordinary people.

Li Huaitang is not an omnipotent god, he doesn't know how to weave, but he has money, and he has the money to buy a lot of white cloth from merchants, and his army needs white cloth. Capital is magical, and in order to achieve high profits, businessmen dare to risk moving their heads, dare to trample on all laws, dare to despise all life, not to mention just increase production efficiency without risk?

In order to beat their peers to win more orders and earn more profits, merchants racked their brains to do everything, including high bounties to encourage craftsmen to come up with better tricks, the development of history proves that human wisdom is infinite, under the bounty out of brave men, over time, each family of eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magical powers, textile technology is changing with each passing day, good' As a result of the competition, the price of white cloth will continue to increase, and the texture will get better and better, as long as the trade route is unblocked, it is completely capable of submerging the linen cloth in the long river of history. Facts have proved that there is indeed such a trend, as soon as the "fine" and beautiful white cloth came out, almost all the Tang merchants smelled the business opportunity, and after learning the price, some people actually "wanted" to pay a large price to cover it all. Datang has a population of 50 million, and it is conservatively estimated that each person needs a piece of clothing made of white cloth is a sky-high amount, and even if each piece only earns ten yuan, the profit is incredible, not to mention that the demand is definitely far more than that.

However, to the surprise of the soldiers and civilians of Bahuan City, these merchants from Ningyuan City did not seem to be in a hurry to realize the goods in their hands, and for several days, they sent dozens of healthy horses and camels to march all over the city, and a sharp-toothed businessman stood on a carriage without carriages and made a sensational noise: "Don't miss it when you pass by, everyone is looking forward to it, and the Ningyuan City Goods Exhibition that the world is looking forward to is about to be grandly opened......

The streets and alleys, the big businessmen and the small people were all attracted by this fresh proposal, and the news soon spread throughout Bahuan City and reached Zhao Hanzhang's ears.

"What? Exhibition? Zhao Hanzhang held an invitation card in his hand and couldn't cry or laugh, no matter how you look at this Li Huaitang, he is a belligerent warrior, when did he become an invincible businessman?

It was his favorite concubine who gave Zhao Hanzhang the 'dew' news, "Zhao Lang, let's go and have a look, I heard from them, there are a lot of beautiful clothes and accessories, and the concubine wants to go and see it, okay?" ”

Not only Zhao Hanzhang, but also the powerful and wealthy people in Bahuan City received an invitation signed by Li Huaitang......

In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, in the Bafang Inn, the first Ningyuan City Goods Exhibition was grandly opened. Bafang Inn is the most upscale wine inn in the whole city of Bahuan City, every 'spring' season, Bafang Inn will gather merchants from all over the world to purchase goods in Anxi, most of them are Tang Dynasty merchants, they transport a large number of silk, tea, paper, porcelain and other goods that are popular with the Hu people in the Western Regions from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and then purchase all kinds of items that the Central Plains people love from the Hu merchants here, and earn two hands back and forth, and enjoy the fun of several times the profits.

It was a grand festival for all the merchants who arrived in Pakhan City, a festival that allowed them to reap huge benefits. Early in the morning, the front of the 'door' of the Bafang Inn was crowded with many businessmen anxiously waiting for the exhibition to open, but as a result, there were so many people that Li Huaitang had to send guards to maintain order.

As soon as the exhibition began, the spacious courtyard, wine store, and backyard of the Bafang Inn were immediately occupied by a sea of people. Samples of all kinds of goods are neatly arranged on rows of stalls to greet their next owners.

Not everyone can enter, except for the invited dignitaries and businessmen who sign up, everyone else can only enter the exhibition for the last two days.

The first to appear is the unique 'flower' Rong Yunshang clothing ** exhibition.

Before leaving, they planned how to paint a gourd in Bahuan City, and in one fell swoop, the "fine" products of "flower" Rong Yunshang were launched in Datang, for this reason, they not only swept away the inventory of "flower" Rong Yunsheng, but also borrowed several Hu Xiaoniang who specialized in "door" display clothing.

"Yun wants clothes, 'flowers', and looks? That's good! At the exhibition site, Ye Ji's eyes lit up, and she proudly hugged Li Huaitang's arm, "Husband, is it really your poem?" ”

"Well, I think it's pretty good, too." Li Huaitang did not have the slightest sense of modesty.

Ye Ji pursed her lips and smiled, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Hu Xiaoniang, who appeared on the high platform.

"Wow! It's beautiful, it's beautiful! Ye Ji is now 'glamorous' and looks at Hu Xiaoniang's performance with envy. These Hu Xiaoniang were taught by Su Zizi and Liu Shangyue's 'essence' heart, both etiquette and behavior are very decent, and the clothes they wear are even more charming, deeply attracting Ai 'women' and little girls like Ye Ji An Luo'er and so on.

"Shiro, Shiro, I want that too, I want that, no, that, that, and that, I like them all!" Ye Ji was coquettish and pulled Li Huaitang's arm and begged. An Luo'er's eyes flashed with the same light, and she was 'fascinated' by Hu Xiaoniang's clothes on the high platform, and when Ye Ji was angry, she also aimed her eyes at Li Huaitang.

Originally, Li Huaitang didn't want them to stay in Bahuan City. After the sunspot left, Shamul's caravan with dozens of craftsmen recruited from Chang'an also set foot on the road to Ningyuan City, at that time Li Huaitang wanted Ye Ji and An Luo'er to return to Ningyuan City with them, but the two 'women' actually united front, no matter what they said, they refused to leave. Ye Ji was entangled to stay by Li Huaitang's side, and An Luo'er also had a grand reason, that is, as a personal soldier, she couldn't leave Ye Ji for half a step. Unable to resist them, or unable to resist the gentle offensive of the beauty, Li Huaitang was defeated for the first time.

The beauty is good, of course Li Huaitang will not disobey, and responded cheerfully: "No problem, I bought it all!" If it's not enough, when you go back to Ningyuan City, I'll take you to 'flower' Rong Yunshang to pick up, and you can pick whatever you like. ”

"Am I got my share too?" An Luoer was overjoyed.

"Of course, the workshop has your mother's share, of course yours is indispensable." Li Huaitang said with a smile.

An Luo'er turned her head in disappointment and ignored Li Huaitang again.

Ye Ji snickered: "Stupid Li Lang, the little lady is rare to be sent by you, understand?" ”

"Cheng, you can pick as much as you like now, I'll pay!" Li Huaitang can also be taught, and he can understand it at one point.

Ye Ji and An Luo'er looked at each other and smiled, and threw themselves into the pile of beautiful clothes.

Li Huaitang's move caused discussion among businessmen.

"This general is really, obviously he has to buy things from his own family here, isn't it tiring?"

"That is, does Madame want any fancy clothes when she comes home?"

"You know what? This is the mastery of the general, learn more, and the beautiful lady will throw herself into her arms! Shang Qi laughed when he heard this.

"Yo!" Li Huaitang looked around with satisfaction, and saw Shang Qi in the crowd, "The merchant's Qianli horse is here?" Not bad, not bad, well done! ”

Shang Qi let out a smug bright smile, and Li Huaitang's praise was well-deserved. In addition to this pirated live show, the idea of the exhibition is very visionary, and he twisted the businessmen of Ningyuan City into an external force, and they did not sell at a reduced price in the whole exhibition, and there was no 'disorderly' order of sale, everything was carried out in an orderly and unhurried manner.

"It's not the general's blessing." The sedan chairs of 'flowers' and 'flowers' are carried by everyone, and they are properly touted to each other, which is beneficial to physical and mental health.

"Where's your father?" Li Huaitang curiously looked for Shang Bafang's figure.

Shang Qi pointed upstairs and said, "Father accompanied Mrs. Ruyi and Linglong Sister to watch it above." ”

Following Shang Qi's point, Li Huaitang saw the delicate face of Linglong Shuangshu, and like Ye Ji and An Luo'er, the expressions of the two little ladies were very excited, and they seemed to yearn for the 'flower' Rong Yunsheng. After more than ten days of recuperation, Shang Long has recovered, but the mood is still bad, taking advantage of this rare event, Mrs. Ruyi brought the sisters out to dissipate their mood. Of course, they didn't dare to go downstairs to the scene, and it was not a good thing to meet Li Huaitang.

The happy businessman Bafang noticed Li Huaitang's gaze, and hurriedly greeted Li Huaitang, not to mention how much benefit and fame this exhibition brought to his businessmen, the strength shown by Ning Yuancheng was enough for him to be happy for a while, with such a man as a backer, why worry about the merchant not carrying it forward.

Linglong Shuangshu also saw a hateful smile, Shang Long's face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly hid behind Mrs. Ruyi, looking quite frightened. Shang Ling responded viciously to Li Huaitang's eyes.

Ling'er Xiaoniang's malice did not play its due role, but made Li Huaitang laugh even more happily, I don't know whether it was a demonstration or a hint, he raised his right arm and pointed to the scar on it, and then pointed to his mouth, and then 'exposed' two snow-white teeth and kept biting.

Ling'er couldn't resist the attack, so she turned her head angrily, causing Li Huaitang to laugh.

"Haha," Shang Bafang was also happy, at least this man was very knowledgeable.

Mrs. Ruyi frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is the merchant laughing at? Alas, my poor Linglong

Oh, I'll have to marry someone like that in the future. ”

Shang Bafang said proudly: "What else can my merchant ask for such a man?" Not to mention the hero, his vision is even more unique, and even San Lang, who I don't care about, was actually recognized by him and made me a talented businessman. ”

"Humph! It's just a rough man! "Mrs. Ruyi and Shang Ling are worthy of being mothers and daughters, and they have the heart to say what they have in their hearts.

"Vulgar?" Shang Bafang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The boy should take Wu Hook and collect dozens of states in Guanshan." What a hero! ”

"Yun wants clothes, 'flowers' want to look. What a poetic thing this is. ”

The three 'women' asked in unison: "He did it?" ”

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask Saburo!" Shang Bafang was extremely proud, as if the poet was him.

The exhibition was very lively, no one paid attention to Li Huaitang's rogue actions, and the businessmen were looking for their own goals and spending money. The merchants from Ningyuan City were bathed in the best-selling festival, and the goods in their hands brought them countless money, and in the blink of an eye, they were exchanged for countless Datang goods, this time, they will return with a full load, and go back with the most popular goods among the people of the Western Regions, it is difficult not to get rich.

The Tang businessmen hated and rejoiced, hated that Li Huaitang had issued a purchase restriction order, not allowing one of them to monopolize the popular Bai Diebu, and happy that everyone of them had the opportunity to get involved, but in this way, their profits would be much thinner.

However, for other items, Li Huaitang does not make restrictions.

"San Lang, these cups and bowls are made by Ning Yuancheng?" A wealthy businessman in Chang'an, who knew Shang Qi, pointed to a pile of dazzling, colorful glass cups and bowls and asked in shock.

Shang Qi nodded proudly: "Don't hide it from the big shopkeeper, these are all from the Kang Shang Fang in Ningyuan City, and half of my family has it." As long as the big shopkeeper likes it, I can provide as much as I want, and I can also give a discount if the amount is large. ”

"Huh!?" The wealthy businessman in Chang'an glared incredulously, "The ancients did not deceive me, and they should be impressed by each other for three days." The merchant Saburo is really a genius. Okay, I've got all of these...... "Datang is famous for porcelain, but the cups and bowls made of glass are rare, and they can't satisfy the enjoyment of those powerful and rich**, as long as they are shipped back to the Central Plains and Jiangnan, they don't have a chance to be poor."

"It seems that if there is a chance, I will also go to Ningyuan City to have a look!"

The expectations of the wealthy businessmen of Chang'an for Ningyuan City are sublimating, not only him, but most of the businessmen who smell business opportunities have such thoughts. Merchant Saburo can do it, can go, and has achieved brilliant results, so there is no reason for these old-timers to be worse than him. Suddenly, Ningyuan City became a paradise imagined by merchants, full of gold.

The slight disadvantage of the exhibition is that limited to the "dang" power of the samurai, the magnates in the city have never appeared, but their families have patronized them in a low-key manner, and the mystery and charm of the "flower" Rong Yunshang are very lethal to the young "woman" and the little lady. In this regard, Li Huaitang just smiled and didn't care much, it didn't matter if the important people missed the appointment, their families would bring back the influence of Ningyuan City, and the Tang merchants who attended the meeting, while they brought the goods back to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, they would also bring back the image of Ningyuan City......
