Leon. Farris is one of the representatives of the business community that Lee Seung-ji met this time! After retrieving his goods, he did not go north to Mongolia. Instead, it crossed the Qilian Mountains and entered the boundaries of Xining Prefecture.

This is already the ruling area of the Kingdom of Jin!

It's just that the local area is still dominated by Tibetan people. But there are many Han people, and there are some Hui He merchants and Xia merchants who were wiped out. Since Xining Prefecture is a Jiezhen Prefecture, the local Jiedu envoys are Jurchens. Leon Faris was doing business in the city of Xining, and he also gave some gifts unique to Khorasan to the envoys.

It's a pity that their identities are still too lowly in the eyes of the festival envoys. Therefore, he was not able to be received by the envoy of the festival. But that's okay, after all, their main job is to do business. He exchanged the goods in his hand for many products unique to the Central Plains.

Silk, tea, porcelain, etc., are extremely popular in Khorasan. Silk and tea, in particular, were bought and sold at a priceless price in Khorasan. Because of the sweetness, Leon Faris and his family became more yearning for the trade route to the Central Plains.

After all, Xining Prefecture is only a border city of the Jin Kingdom, and it is not the Central Plains!

When Lee Seung-ji entered the military tent, Leon Faris and the others all stood up and saluted. When Lee Seung-ji noticed Leon Farris's silk cover, he knew that he was doing a good job in this business.

"Get up! You have come to see me for trade, but you have made a great profit? As soon as Li Chengji's words fell, the businessmen present laughed.

Kalmayi is a big businessman with a head and a face in Khorasan! Since Khorasan conquered Tus, their family has completely taken refuge in Khorasan. And the family members have all moved to the place where Khorasan started, Puhua, and the business has also spread throughout the territory with the expansion of Khorasan.

But they're not in the steel business anymore!

Because of the Khorasan salt and iron official camp, no personal or family forces are allowed to mix. But it's still possible to mine small-scale mines. Khorasan allowed merchants to obtain mining rights through competitive bidding. It is then sold to domestic steel mills and is not allowed to leave the country.

And every year there is a minimum mining tonnage! Without this number, Khorasan officials can hold Shang Jia accountable. and, where appropriate, consider reclaiming mining rights. This also makes the mining rights of each mine basically taken over by businessmen with solid family backgrounds.

Of course, if you are close to the Khorasan government, you can also obtain part of the mining rights. But this requires righteous businessmen who have made meritorious contributions to official Khorasan. Kalmamay fits the bill. Because in the past, when Khorasan was just rising, he secretly smuggled pig iron to Puhua to gain the favor of the Puhua Governor's Mansion at that time.

So later, when Khorasan was founded, their family also received rich rewards. For example, in the production workshops of glass, soap, cotton spinning, canned food, lighters, etc., sold in Khorasan, Leon Faris bought a lot in the name of his family.

Although it cannot be a monopoly on production, with the current market demand in Khorasan, it is enough for them to sell for a long time. Moreover, the market in the surrounding areas is also very broad, as long as they are willing to take a certain amount of risk, they can get greater profits.

Previously, the Leon Faris family mainly operated in East and West Persia, and later expanded to Tianzhu. The family's seafood canning workshop in Karachi is extremely famous in Khorasan.

Eight out of ten canned seafood in Malu's canning shop come from their workshop. Therefore, Leon Faris is very satisfied with his current life, and his support for Khorasan is also from the bottom of his heart. In the end, the rise of their family was through the east wind of Khorasan.

In the old years, when Khorasan recovered the old realm of Da Liao, their family decided to open a workshop in the old realm of Da Liao for the first time. Soap workshops and paper workshops were opened in Kuzhan and Broken Leaves respectively, and the goods produced have entered several cities in the old land of Daliao.

Despite the war, sales in the region are mediocre. But as long as time goes by, he believes there will still be a lot of room for growth. After that, Khorasan expanded eastward to Huihe, and he followed eastward.

And I heard that this time it was the lord of the country who personally led the troops, so he also personally led the caravan. There are outposts along the way, and there are no horse thieves who dare to stand in the way. It's just that the road is too desolate, and the village community is completely destroyed, so they don't even have a place to rest.

Fortunately, the outpost took into account the inconvenience of the merchants in the past, and provided additional places to eat and rest. This makes Leon Faris' journey not too difficult!

In the past, he also came back to He, and Nahe City was the most prosperous place in the Huihe realm. It's just that the merchants there are too stingy and take care of everything. This time, Hezhou City was almost empty. The stingy Huihe merchant also rarely saw that there were many shops and commercial goods left in the city that could not be taken away, and he spent some money to buy some shops in the city.

And at a very low price, I bought a large number of Huihe commercial goods that I couldn't buy before. But it's a one-shot deal! After the Huihe people left, it was difficult for these Huihe merchants to supply a large number of goods to the city in a short time.

However, he believed that as long as Khorasan's rule stabilized. Occupy an important trade route, Huihe will prosper again. It's just that the owner of the land of Huihe at that time was no longer a Huihe person. He saw that many of the vacant temples had been used as dens by wild beasts, and that some of the temples in the city had been converted into mosques or other chambers.

There are reservations, but they are not as prosperous as they used to be.

When he went to Xia Kingdom, he went to Xining Prefecture to make a big deal, just like Leon Faris. This time, he and the merchants jointly asked the lord of Khorasan to keep the four state capitals of the Xia Kingdom, and they also had the intention of trying it out.

Where did they think that they would be received by the lord of the country, which made them both happy and surprised.

Hearing Li Chengji's question, Karma, as the leader of the merchants, came forward and replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord." In the land of Xining Prefecture, there are many products from the Central Plains. It's just that this time we are waiting for a detour to the dangerous mountains, and it is inconvenient for commercial freight to be transferred. If you pass through Liangzhou, you can go straight to Jinguo, Lanzhou and other places. The products of the Central Plains must be several times more than that of Xining Prefecture. ”。

As the border city of Xia and Jin, Lanzhou has a field. The commercial goods from the hinterland of the Central Plains and the Song Kingdom were sold, and tea and silk were the commodities that accounted for the largest proportion. These are also the more popular goods in Khorasan. And then transported to repay, Byzantium, and even further west, the profit can reach a hundredfold.

Therefore, silk and tea are beyond the existence of gold coins in their eyes, and they are another form of gold entirely. There is also porcelain, which is also very popular in the West. There is also a strong demand within Khorasan. Even the glass products are beautiful, but with the increase in production, the price is already very low. The scarcity of things is expensive, and the source of porcelain is very small, making it a high-end luxury that only the aristocracy is entitled to.
