Chapter 632: Yang Lou 3
Zhou Nanxin is here!
This Li Bangyan always asked himself about the carriage, and now he asked himself how he was going to sell it, but he had to listen to what he thought first.
Zhou Nan deliberately said with a sad face: "The carriage is easy to make, but it is difficult to sell." Although His Majesty the Emperor has permission to sell them in Bianjing, he can't always be in Bianjing, so he can't send people here, and he is afraid that he will not take good care of them or be excluded by others. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty also has its own carriage, and how to sell more carriages in our Liao Kingdom is difficult. ”
After Li Bangyan heard Zhou Nan finish speaking, he couldn't help laughing and said, "General Zhou, with the permission of the official family, and me and Brother Ju'an from the side, do you still have to worry about this?" ”
Cai You also said, "It is inconvenient for me and Brother Shimei to interfere in the business matters, but the two of us still have some weight in Bianjing City, keep General Zhou's shop safe and sound, and help General Zhou sell this carriage to Xijing, Nanjing and other places." ”
"If you get the help of the two, you won't work in vain, and you will have a reward to reciprocate." Zhou Nan said to the two.
Li Bangyan and Cai You both hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Since it is the favor of the official family, how can the two of us dare to accept such a generous reward?" ”
Zhou Nan frowned and said, "I know each other in vain, but I have to help each other so righteously, how can I go to teach me?!" In the Yanjing realm, you can also manage some personnel, if the two of you have anything to come forward in Yanjing, just ask! ”
Cai You listened to Zhou Nan's words, and was so busy that he picked up the wine glass and said, "Yan people are so bold, it's really true." If it weren't for the official summons, how could the two of us get acquainted with such a figure as General Zhou in Bianjing? Let's have another drink! ”
The three of them drank a few more glasses, chatted a few words, and saw that the two of them were spitting and spitting, but they never said anything, Zhou Nan said again, "Bianjing is prosperous and beautiful, but it's a pity that after the carriage is built, I will set off for the north." ”
Cai You said disapprehantly: "It takes half a month to build a carriage, right?" ”
"If the materials are ready, it will only be a matter of three or five days." Zhou Nan corrected, "Pingzhou has not been recovered yet, and once I go this time, I don't know when I will be able to come to Bianjing again." ”
"So fast?" Li Bangyan glanced at Cai You and asked in surprise.
"Yes! It's not as good as the two, and the daily wine and food are so comfortable. Zhou Nan casually sipped the wine in the cup and said. Although this Liuxia is not steamed wine, it also has a unique charm when drunk, so it is no wonder that it can make a name for itself in Bianjing City. I just don't know, can my steamed wine be sold in Bianjing?
"General Zhou, I recently heard that Yanjing ordered that it is strictly forbidden to sell leather sheep in the country to the Great Song Dynasty, but why?" Cai You heard Zhou Nan say that his time in Bianjing was short, after all, his wife and brother had come to ask him again and again recently, hoping that he could open up the joints and get the Liao leather goods as soon as possible, so he couldn't help but ask first.
"I heard that even gold, silver, pearls, and jade are not allowed to circulate out of the country." Li Bangyan hurriedly added. In the past few days, the news from the north has become more and more evil, making Li Bangyan a little unable to sit still.
Zhou Nan was stunned, he hadn't heard of this. When he came to the Great Song Dynasty from Guiyi City, Li Feixing's other 50 people followed the caravan from Yanjing and escorted tens of thousands of leather goods to Bianjing. Why did Cai You say that the leather sheep in Yanjing were only sold to the Great Song Dynasty?
Zhou Nan smiled and said to Cai You and Li Bangyan, "I haven't heard about the ban on the market when I came, and if I want to come to the public, I want to ban the market, so naturally there is a reason to ban the market." It's just that the two of them, as important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, are subject to the imperial court, and the city is banned, so what does it matter? Come, drink! As he spoke, he took another glass and drank with the two.
Speaking of which, where do Cai You and Li Bangyan still have the heart to drink? Li Bangyan grabbed Zhou Nan's sleeve and said, "General Zhou doesn't know, and it's also because the two of us didn't explain it to General Zhou, both of us have business in our family, and they are even related to the Liao State." If Yanjing bans the market this time, the business of the two of us will not be able to continue. ”
Zhou Nan asked strangely, "I heard that the Great Song Dynasty had a good salary and enough to support a family, could it be that the imperial court issued these salaries and allowed officials to do business?" ”
Cai You explained, "The official family of the Great Song Dynasty has always given preferential treatment to his subordinates, and even allowed the ministers to operate in their homes. Bianjing is expensive, how can a salary be able to live in? To tell you the truth, my wife and brother are engaged in leather goods, and Shimei Xian's family has experience in gold and silver shops. If Yanjing is forbidden to the city, both of us will be greatly affected! ”
"I see. Although I have the heart to help with this matter, I also have to ask the princess to see why the market is banned. Always think of a way to keep the two families from suffering. Zhou Nan smiled secretly in his heart, and he didn't know what Yu Liyan thought, and ordered to prohibit sheep skins, gold, silver, pearls and jade. And these goods actually choked the necks of Cai You and Li Bangyan at once.
Zhou Nan comforted the two of them in his mouth, but in his heart he was still thinking about what other products in the Yanjing area, which were in short supply and indispensable here in the Great Song Dynasty.
Thinking about it, all Zhou Nan knows is salt. The level of salt production here in the Great Song Dynasty was low, and salt was listed as an official camp, which made the price of salt ridiculously high. Salt is a treasure in the homes of ordinary people. It is said that when some poor people are sick, they only want to eat a bite of pickles and the like. There is no shortage of salt in Liao, and there are several lakes north of Yanjing where salt can be made. Although salt is also a government in Liao, the price is much cheaper. Just like Lao Zheng Tou said, the Liao people couldn't afford to buy firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, so they threw the coarse salt grains into the fire and listened to the sound of the salt grains popping in the fire.
However, although salt is scarce and the price is high in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty must not want Yanjing's salt to be sold in the Great Song Dynasty, which is like taking money out of Zhao Ji's pocket.
However, in addition to the simplest and untechnical goods such as sheep and horse skins, it seems that there are no other goods in the Liao Kingdom, which are lacking and in demand in the Great Song Dynasty.
This time, he implored Zhao Ji to open the border market, so that the merchants of the two countries could trade normally, and the original plan was to get the tea of the Great Song Dynasty and some silk. After all, tea cannot be produced in the north, and the people of Liao have generally become accustomed to drinking tea, and the meaning of drinking tea for carnivorous nomads is more than a pastime. Silk and the like can make up for the shortcomings of Yanjing cloth and silk. The rest, like porcelain and spices, Zhou Nan was not very interested. Yanjing can also fire porcelain by itself, and the quality of the fired porcelain does not have to be bad in the Great Song Dynasty.
If this is the opening of the border market, it will not be the same as the previous transactions between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty has a surplus every year, so that the Liao State is like a gambler who has lost all his old capital, and he has to borrow money from the Great Song Dynasty with a saliva face.
Zhou Nan vaguely felt that he had thought of a solution, but he still couldn't say what the solution was.
Li Bangyan and Cai You were happy when they got Zhou Nan's promise, and at this time, seeing Zhou Nan's frowns, they hurriedly said, "General Zhou, do you feel that there is a difficulty?" ”
Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "What is the difficulty of such a trivial matter?" If it is Cai Shumi's urgent use, I can give you ideas to mobilize a batch of goods for emergency. ”
Cai You was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhou Nan, "I was about to plead with General Zhou, but I didn't know how to speak, so this matter depends on General Zhou." If there is a spot, it is two percent higher than the price on the market, and it is already grateful. After the deed is done, there will be a great reward! ”
Zhou Nan thought about the looming method in his mind, and took the opportunity to say, "In this way, I will go back and send someone to ask." ”
