Feng Daiwen escaped from the palace with the tea fried behind the Imperial Workshop, and as for the white stacked seeds, Li Shimin had promised to send all the royal ones to Feng Daiwen's mansion.

It was already noon when Feng Daiwen returned to the Hou Mansion, and just after eating, someone came to report that a merchant from the Western Regions came to visit.

"Take them to the hall and wait." Feng Daiwen instructed, and before Feng Daiwen walked to the hall, someone came to report that the Zhang family in Jiangnan and the Huang family in Shuzhong came to visit, and Feng Daiwen asked people to take them to the living room together.

"Take all the gifts with you when you're leaving." Feng Daiwen looked at the gifts piled up outside the hall and said to the subordinates guarding the gifts.

Entering the hall, there are only five people inside, there are two Han people sitting on the left, it should be people from the Zhang family and the Huang family, and on the right are three foreigners with hooked noses and blue eyes,

"I've seen Master Hou!" When several people saw Feng Daiwen enter the house, they hurriedly got up and saluted, even the three foreigners were very proficient in Tang dialect.

"You're welcome, let's sit down, I invite you to come today to discuss the important matter of making a fortune." Feng Daiwen greeted everyone with a smile.

"Zhang Jian, the villain Zhang Jian, the side room of the Zhang family, has seen Hou Ye, I have already heard Xiao Xiang say before I came, everything is based on Hou Ye's horse head, and I obey Hou Ye's arrangement." Zhang Jian got up and bowed his hand.

"That's very good, you can listen to it first, and then you can discuss it yourself, and the government will not interfere in commercial matters, as long as you don't violate the rules." Feng Daiwen nodded and said.

"We don't dare." Zhang Jian and the two hurriedly responded.

"I think you have also heard that we Datang are going to organize a large caravan to trade with the Western Regions, and we will send troops to escort it, you see if you need to be together, and if you have any opinions, you can put them forward." Feng Daiwen said to the three merchants of the Western Regions.

"Great cannibal Abdullah, I have met Master Hou, we are willing to go to the Western Regions and other countries with the Datang caravan, I don't know what Datang has to ask for, what do you need me to do?" A man with curly blond hair looked at the other two, stood up and asked.

"Like my Datang businessman, pay grain, grass, military expenses, all of which can be counted as money, this requires you to count how many people and how many goods you have, and then discuss with the Datang businessman, and the official guarantees that everyone is treated the same." Feng Daiwen replied seriously.

"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely count and discuss with the Datang caravan as soon as possible." The three of them stood up in surprise and hurriedly thanked them. After all, it is much safer to be escorted by the army, and the treatment is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, this trip is a lot easier, some people may worry that there are too many merchants to go to the Western Regions, why don't the merchants of the Western Regions worry about stealing business, in fact, it is very simple, the Tang caravans will basically only go to the countries of the Western Regions, and the farther food, Persia, and Daqin will not go, and they will not worry about not being able to sell, the Western Regions are dozens of countries of all sizes, even if in this era, even if the large merchant group can bring how many goods, I am afraid that dozens of countries in the Western Regions are not enough.

"That's good, we Datang are very caring for friendly people, you can be so good officials, in the future, your business group is the same as Datang merchants, you only need to pay taxes once, but you must abide by the laws of Datang, and don't evade taxes." And Datang will also provide you with information, such as those that are not lacking in Datang, don't think that it will be easy to sell now and sell later, such as white stacked cloth, Datang will not need it in the future, but white stacked Datang needs it in large quantities now. You can charge as much as you want, but the price can't be too expensive, this needs to be discussed. Feng Daiwen gave sweetness again and explained to several people.

"Really? Thank you, Lord Hou! The three of them stood up in disbelief.

"What the official says must count." Feng Daiwen replied proudly.

"Thank you Hou Ye, thank you Hou Ye, the villain is called Terdaier Tarot, he is a Guishan person, and he is in the white cloth business, fortunately there is a Hou Ye reminder, otherwise the villain will lose money next year and jump into the river." A businessman from the Western Regions touched his forehead with sweat, and was extremely grateful to Feng Daiwen, and thanked him again and again.

"Tarot, right, since you are in the white stack cloth business, you will definitely be able to receive the white stacks." Feng Daiwen asked.

"There are a lot of Hou Ye, Gaochang, and Tianzhu have the most, and they are all used by the poor, and they are very cheap." Tarot replied cautiously.

"Well, this time you go back and help me harvest a batch of seeds, you have to have white stacks in many places, and you will collect them in many officials, the price will never be bad to you, porcelain, the best white porcelain, celadon, silk, you can use white stacks in exchange." Feng Daiwen nodded to know.

"Master Hou, don't worry, the villain will definitely bring as much as possible for Master Hou." Tarot's excited doppelganger replied tremblingly.

"Master Hou, we are also willing to bring white stacks for you." Abdullah and the others also hurriedly assured that this was a good opportunity to repay their thighs, and it would be too stupid not to seize it.

"Don't worry, as long as you find the items that Datang and the official need for the official, the goods you need will be met by the official, but you still have an important task, bring back the food, vegetables, flowers and seeds that the official does not have in the Tang Dynasty, and the official will be rewarded, and the best official will repay the sage and guarantee you a title, and those who have merit will be rewarded." Feng Daiwen assured a few people with certainty, and then introduced them to corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other foods.

Feng Daiwen's Cheng Ruo stimulated the three of them to be excited, and hurriedly said goodbye to Feng Daiwen and said that he would organize a business group overnight, and Feng Daiwen was also very satisfied with letting the three of them out.

After the three of them left, Feng Daiwen said to Zhang Jian and the others: "I think someone has already explained to you, this official is repeating, the map, customs, population, number of troops, and mineral deposits of the countries in the Western Regions can be inquired about as much as possible, you can discuss it, and it is best to set up a point in each country to send shrewd people." ”

"I will understand, I will thank Hou Ye for speaking for us and other businessmen in the court, as long as it is Hou Ye's request in the future, we will definitely go all out." Zhang Jian replied solemnly.

Businessmen are the most well-informed, and Feng Daiwen's proposal to improve the status of industry and commerce in the court seems to have spread.

"It doesn't have to be like this, this is also for the good of Datang, this official also has a request, treat the merchants of the Western Regions equally, they are of great use to Datang, we trade to make money from other countries." Feng Daiwen admonished.

"I will understand, I will definitely not give Datang and Hou Ye a touch of the dark." Zhang Jian patted his chest and reassured.

"That's good, you can discuss the specifics yourself, and you are too busy with your own officials to keep you more." After speaking, Feng Daiwen said goodbye.

The two had a lot of people, so they quit......

After the two left, Feng Daiwen thought that a large group of children would come to the house in three days, and he couldn't help but start to have a headache.

Just build a playground, anyway, you can use it if you have children in the future, just do it when you think of it, Feng Daiwen hurriedly called someone to find a blacksmith, a carpenter, there are many people who just happened to repair the princess's mansion, and there are materials, so he immediately called a group.

"Swing", do a few of this, so as not to quarrel, "seesaw" this is also simple, do a few more, "hanging basket" this is suitable for older girls, also do a few, can't put down the princess's mansion for Guang'an to sit, "horizontal bar, parallel bar" This is for Li Tai to play with a few leather children, and you can exercise, "trampoline" under the thick rope to pull up the top and sew the cowhide, well, barely usable, smaller children can go up and jump to play, "jump rope," well, just take more rope and want to play, it's almost enough.

The rest is to eat, it just so happens that the chef of the Hou Mansion is not good, let people quickly notify the people of Taoyuan Villa to come over, and then it is better to kill the pig dishes, I have to say that only after Cheng Yanjin and others ate stir-fried vegetables, the whole Chang'an slowly spread, many innovative dishes are not available in Feng Daiwen's house, and the ability of the working people is the strongest,,, Feng Daiwen looked at the arrangement and was satisfied with a lazy waist, yes, so arranged......
