Pei Xingjian stood outside the academy, patrolling around the academy with the escort team, still holding the book in his hand, and saw a long convoy heading towards the Gu family from a distance, guessing in his heart that it seemed that the teacher was going to meet with the envoys of various countries, took a deep breath of fresh air, came back to his senses, and then led the team to inspect.

Li Tai and Xu Jingzong were also walking in the academy, looking at the classrooms of the academy that had already begun to roll call, and saw the long convoy again.

"Hospital, I'll go to Gu Qing's house to have a look." Li Tai hurriedly walked out of the academy.

Gu Qing's home has already been preparing, Li Zhi helped Gu Qing is pasting a huge map on the wall, Li Chengqian came first, and came down to the lobby under the guidance of the attendants, and saw Gu Qing pasting a map, when the map was completely pasted, what fell in his eyes was the various small countries that had been marked on the map, and drew a route.

"Gu Xianhou, ...... are you" Li Chengqian looked at the drawings and wondered.

"It's a trade route." Gu Qing smiled and said, "Prince, please take a seat." ”

"Trade Route" Li Chengqian wondered, "What does this trade route have to do with this time?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Gu Qing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You can't go back empty-handed by the envoys of various countries, you have to gain something from a trip of thousands of miles." ”

"You mean we trade with these small countries"

"Exactly." Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand.

Li Tai also walked into Gu Qing's house and saw Li Chengqian saluting slightly, "Brother Huang." ”

"Why are you here" Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai.

Li Tai smiled slightly and looked directly at Li Chengqian.

The smell of gunpowder between the two brothers was very strong, and Li Zhi also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Gu Qing's sleeve.

Gu Qing took a step forward, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is still invited to take a seat, presumably the envoys of various countries are already waiting outside the door." ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other speechlessly and sat in their respective positions, Gu Qing said to the attendants at home, "Let the envoys waiting outside come in." ”

The attendant hurried to report it.

As the envoys of the various countries walked in in colorful clothes, Li Zhi looked at the scene curiously and peeled the walnuts in his hand.

"Sit down." Gu Qing said to them, and then said to the attendants beside him, "Serve tea." ”

More than a dozen attendants brought tea one after another, and Gu Qing said to them, "You have come all the way to Datang, and you have received Your Majesty's will in an abrupt situation. ”

The envoys of various countries also waved their hands one after another to signal that they would not be tight.

Gu Qing smiled again and said, "This time you must have seen a lot of novel things in Datang, you don't have these things, but we in Datang do, you must have seen bicycles, do you think bicycles are easy to use?"

The envoys nodded their heads.

Gu Qing said again, "We still have soap in Datang, do you like it?"

The envoys also nodded.

"Do you want it, or do your kings and people want it," Gu Qing said with a smile, "Actually, we in Datang can do business with you, so that you can also buy these." ”

In business, a group of envoys discussed that they wanted to do business with Datang

The envoy of Mobei Xue Yantuo was the first to speak, "As long as Datang is willing to sell these things to us, we Xue Yantuo will naturally buy them." ”

Gu Qing looked at the other party's costume is Xue Yantuo's person, Xue Yantuo and Tubo joined forces to attack the Tang Dynasty, but they were beaten by Li Ji as a grandson, how can they still stand like a nobody, Li Er is also big-hearted, anyway, he came to Chaohe to have a long face in front of him, and he didn't care.

"Since we're talking about buying, I'll talk to you about how to buy it." Gu Qing stepped aside, pointed to the map and said, "This is the trade route I planned, listing the trade route from your land, all the way to Guanzhong." ”

The envoys of all the countries present were again in a discussion.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "You are all thinking about the stability between the business routes."

Whether it is the Western Regions, the desert or the grassland, there is no shortage of robbers, and these are the hesitations of the envoys.

"We don't take care of any of these business things, and you will take care of them." Gu Qing said again, "If you want our Datang goods, you can come to Datang to buy them, and then sell them to your people, but to say that in the front, a piece of soap is fifteen wen a piece in Guanzhong, but it is thirty wen when sold to you." ”

The price directly doubled, and the envoys of various countries began to talk again.

Li Tai also looked at Gu Qing suspiciously, is this price a little too high.

"If you don't want to, you won't be reluctant." Gu Qing said again, "It's just that Datang will close the door with you in the future, for example, Xue Yantuo refuses to talk about this time, then you will no longer be able to do business with our Datang in the future, and even Xue Yantuo people will not be able to enter Datang in the future, if all countries are willing to do business with our Datang, we are willing to prosper with you." ”

"I didn't say no!" Xue Yantuo's envoy's face stiffened.

"I'm just making an analogy." Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand.

Li Tai thought carefully about Gu Qing's words, and he was indeed startled when he said the price at the beginning, but after carefully considering Gu Qing's words, the look in Li Tai's eyes became more and more strange, and the reason why Gu Qing did this was also to make sense of it and be xenophobic! If anyone refuses to do business with Datang, they will be xenophobic by Datang, and Datang even has the strength to isolate a small country.

Refusal will be exclusive, but if you promise to buy Datang goods that are several times more expensive, Li Tai looked at the big picture, the various trade routes from the countries to the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai's eyes became more and more shocked, if you look at these trade routes as rivers, Datang is the sea where rivers enter the sea.

Business is the lifeline, when the people of these small countries are accustomed to the Datang bicycle, used to the Datang hot water bottle and soap tea...... Thinking of this, Li Tai hit a spirit, Gu Qing wanted to use these small countries to nourish the Tang Dynasty, absorb their wealth and make the Tang Dynasty rich, this is pumping the blood of all countries to strengthen the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will become richer and richer.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Li Tai finally knew the gap between himself and Gu Qing now, although Gu Qing's strategy still had many flaws, but if he let the ministers from the court refine them one by one, it has to be said that it is a good way to increase the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eyes of the world, merchants have always been lowly, Gu Qing can sit on the business to make a country rich If it is really as he thinks, if it is really as Gu Qing calculated, then the status of businessmen will be raised to a higher level, using businessmen to enrich the country, and using firearms to strengthen the country, no wonder his father will value Gu Qing so much.

Gu Qing, Gu Qing, you have such a talent in the world, why do you want to be a rich man, in your eyes, your father can't tolerate you like this
