Chapter 280: Don't Make Too Much Money
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, as soon as it entered the cold winter, the climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was even more unbearable, even if the border troops had gradually become accustomed to altitude sickness, they also felt a little unbearable, under the premise of not being able to rob wantonly, the Tang army was a little homesick, and their morale was quite low, but those Qiang and party members who lived more difficult on weekdays could still persevere.
The political system of the Tian Khan implemented in the Tang Dynasty, at least on the surface, should show that all the younger brothers are treated equally, so the party's camp and the Tang army are connected together, and there is no difference, but their tents are more or less dilapidated, although these party members are not enough to drag their families, but now on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they are more and more meaningful, pots and pans are everything, many men even plundered those Xianbei people who the Tang people look down on as daughters-in-law, anyway, the strong grassland culture is king, Those Xianbei women don't have any opinions.
Now these party members were very happy, and the great Heavenly Khan promised them that after the victory, they could graze horses and sheep along the Yellow River, which used to belong to the most fertile place in the Tugu muddy water grass, and everyone carried a thick wad of salt in their pockets, and heard that this thing could be turned into salt when it reached the Central Plains.
This made their chief Tuoba Chici pinch a cold sweat fiercely, you must know that they were very hesitant when the war started, and almost helped Tuyuhun, who let him and Murong Fuyun be sons and daughters.
Originally, this battle in history was supposed to be the end of the party, because Duan Zhixuan didn't dare to go deep into the desert after a small victory, so he gave Murong Fuyun time to prepare for the vertical and horizontal and gathering of troops, but as a result, he betrayed Tian Khan as soon as he gritted his teeth for the sake of his in-laws.
Now it's okay, not only do they not have to bury Tuyuhun, but they also have a better pasture, as long as time passes, their party will definitely be stronger, and their Tuoba Department can also unify the party and mix up as a khan, as for the in-laws? In the face of this kind of major event of the rise and fall of a clan, let alone the in-laws, the father-in-law will be killed to show you.
"Chief, chief, another merchant from the Central Plains has come and brought some ironware, tea, and porcelain, and is looking for us to trade."
Tuoba Chici smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples and said, "What price, what do you want to exchange?" β
"It's still for salt, saying that the Central Plains is now depreciating badly, and it can't be changed for salt when it comes to the Green Gang, although it is not as waste paper but it's almost the same, a stone can be treated as a bucket It's good, they said we don't have to go to the Central Plains to toss and trade, just change it in their hands."
This is already a clichΓ©, and several groups of Central Plains businessmen have come over in the past two days.
"Hmph, ridiculous, do you really think that all the people in our party are barbarians and fools? There was this kind of rumor a month ago, which made our army panic, and now it seems that this is clearly a trick of the Central Plains profiteers, so that we believe that the salt is worthless, so we will collect our salt at a low price, so I will not be fooled. β
The people below also patted their asses and said: "Chief, you Shengming, the merchants among the Tang people are the most cunning and untrustworthy, if this salt is really worthless, what are they doing all the way to this place." β
"That's it, these Tang businessmen are really stupid, they actually think they can fool us, so let's run away for nothing."
Tuoba Chi smiled and said: "It can't be said that it is a trip in vain, these Central Plains businessmen are shocked, it is good to be able to deceive us, but if you can't cheat, you can trade at the normal price, and some make money, aren't the previous waves like this, you can't be deceived at first sight, and you still make a deal at the original price, which also shows in disguise that there is no problem with salt in the Central Plains, even more popular than gold and silver, but they are willing to spread this rumor, let them pass it, let's also help spread it, isn't there still the Baiqiang and the Qibi people, in case they lack the heart to believe it." , let's also follow the discount to charge a little salt. β
The party members of the Great Tent burst into laughter, praising their chieftain for his cleverness and the like.
Of course, those so-called merchants in the Central Plains are naturally spies of the Yamen, since the soldiers of Guanzhong Mansion went home, rumors of the depreciation of salt have spread, and these vague feudal armies have a tendency to be unstable, Qin Hao had to quickly let the spies who stayed here pretend to be vendors, and do the opposite.
Fortunately, the spread of information in feudal society was too slow after all, and this little cleverness really deceived them, but made them firmly believe in the strength of Yanyin in the Central Plains, and even if there are any rumors in the future, they will not take it seriously.
This move made Li Chengqian simply applaud, and even Fang Xuanling sighed again and again that Qin Hao, a rising star, was so powerful that he could appease the biggest hidden danger of this salt introduction incident.
But the fake is fake after all, this trick can win two or three months at most, the weak is that the salt has not been stabilized in the mainland within two or three months, and the thunder that should be blown up still has to be blown up, and the mere party item Bai Qiang may be nothing in front of the Tang Dynasty, but the credit of the Tian Khan is not exchanged.
Fortunately, Qin Hao's two words have more or less a little attribute bonus, and under Qin Hao's vigorous propaganda at Ma Zhou's signal, everyone in the world knows that Qin Hao took over the will from the sage to be responsible for the preservation of the value of the salt introduction, because this young man has created too many miracles, and many big businessmen have chosen to leave the salt introduction in their hands for the time being to wait and see the situation, which has also made the value of the salt introduction rise slightly.
At this time, Qin Hao was sitting in the East Palace, sharing his tea group with Li Chengqian with a light face, but it was Yu Zhining, who was the prince's left concubine, who was in a hurry, this month was Li Chengqian's opportunity and his challenge.
On the contrary, Qin Hao smiled at him and said, "Lord Yu, steady and steady." β
"Oh, my great prodigy Qin, when has this been, you are still stable! Didn't you ask me to invite all the gate lords and nobles to come to the East Palace to discuss matters, they are all here, why are you still drinking tea. β
Qin Hao's heart is actually more anxious than Yu Zhining, but the so-called catching up is not a deal, the more this kind of request is for others, the more he should actually put the score on the table, anyway, today he represents the prince of the prison country, even if they let those bigwigs wait until dark, they have to endure it.
Sure enough, when Qin Hao finished drinking the tea and slowly tidied up his appearance and went out, these bigwigs on weekdays were actually enthusiastic one by one, as if it was not Qin Hao who had something to ask them but they had something to ask Qin Hao.
"Everyone, thank you for your trust, that's the case, the sage gave me a month to stabilize the price of salt, and today the junior invited you to come, but there is something to ask you."
"Qin boy, you just say it, this is the prince's business, the court's business, and the people's business, my old Cheng is duty-bound, you let us do whatever you want."
It was Cheng Yanjin who spoke, because of the arrangement of work for his son, the relationship was not bad on weekdays, and at this time, the first person to speak was also the meaning of setting the tone and rhythm, Qin Hao nodded and smiled at him slightly, expressing his gratitude.
continued: "The younger generation wants to beg you, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the people, and for the sake of the prince and his subordinates, don't make too much money this opportunity." β
"Yes, yes, Chief, you're right."
