Chapter 415: Heavy Responsibilities

This time, the caravan brought a lot of goods, and for the sake of stability and the safety of the goods, they also chose to take a boat down the river.

Because this trip was mainly shipped with all kinds of spirits, all of which were produced in Lin Sen's winery.

After all, Nagada in the Northeast is cold enough, and the liquor may be a pastime for other people, and it can be regarded as a necessity of life in the Northeast, or the kind that can save lives, and it can be used as the focus of this trade, and it can definitely easily open up trade routes.

I had even heard that there were spirits sold on the grasslands that were sold to the northeast to make the difference.

For the good things that can feel warm when you drink it like this, the ethnic groups such as the Black Water Eagle, I can't put it down.

It's not for nothing that they sell their wives for wine and drink, anyway, for the Black Water Warriors, women are just ordinary property.

In recent years, because Lin Sen has made a variety of high-yield grain varieties, the Datang world is generally smooth, and there have been bumper harvests year after year, which has made everyone hoard a lot of food.

Especially in the vicinity of Chang'an City, grain prices have been low to a certain extent, and even policies have to be introduced to ensure that grain prices are maintained above a certain level, saving grain from hurting farmers.

In this case, the attitude towards sake brewing has changed from the previous suppression to encouragement, and people with brewing skills also want to make more profits, and it is obvious that it is more profitable to brew sake than grain that can no longer be sold.

And the spirits workshop co-founded by the Lin family and a group of martial artists has also obtained a larger quota and can produce more spirits.

Not only can it meet the needs of the surrounding areas of Chang'an, but it is also dumping in large quantities towards the grassland, which is also one of the fist products of several caravans for a long time.

And now it is used to open the market in the Northeast, and it is also the best stepping stone, the kind that ensures that the Lin family caravan can be a hit.

It's just that the Lin family's side, under Lin Sen's suggestion, the commodities traded are no longer the traditional Northeast specialties.

Well, the scale of the transaction between the Tang Dynasty and Silla and Baekje is actually not small, and it once surpassed the transaction between the Guangfu side and the merchants, and even now, the scale of the transaction with the Northeast still occupies a large part of the foreign trade.

The Tang Dynasty imported many goods from Silla and other places, and even surpassed the scale of export goods, and imported mainly Silla gold ornaments, fabrics, musicians, and of course, the famous Silla and so on.

Of course, the export is the strong products of Datang based on silk and ceramics, especially ceramics, because there are several famous kilns around Dengzhou.

The Lin family must not be able to compete with the local caravans in Dengzhou in these aspects, and it is not even so easy to get enough supplies, and the market share has long been divided by the local forces.

Even if Lin Sen is now the military leader of Dengzhou, it will be difficult to get into it again, the power in this place is deep-rooted, and he is not afraid of him as a new general at all.

Therefore, using spirits as a fist product is not only in line with the needs of the Northeast, but also a helpless move.

And the goods that are ready to be exchanged are no longer gold ornaments, but those things that are more famous in later generations, such as deer antlers, such as mink, and ginseng, which is not famous in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

These things can be used as luxury goods to appear in top stores such as Lancôme, and they are not worried about the price, and they are also not worried about sales.

In this way, it is not easy to have any conflicts with the local forces in Dengzhou, and there is no direct competition between them.

In terms of the popularity of spirits, Lin Sen believes that it is enough to empty the pockets of those people.

For the Lin family, the cost of spirits is really low, and the biggest cost is also freight, but this back and forth is still a profitable deal.

It's also the fastest way to weaken these guys, and spirits don't just drain their money, they drain their bodies.

In addition, Lin Sen also thought of a desperate plan, that is, to exchange spirits for the women of the Black Water Warrior clan.

Women are only property to them, but if there are fewer women, the size of their race will naturally continue to decrease.

Without the addition of new forces, their combat power cannot be maintained, and it may not be long before they will face the situation of being swallowed up and extinguished by others.

As for why Lin Sen was so ruthless to this race, it was needless to say, it was naturally due to his bad feelings towards a certain dynasty in later generations.

This is called the iniquity created by the descendants, and the ancestors will pay it back.

Moreover, for Datang, they will inevitably become an important obstacle, although they are a little ignorant, but the more barbaric, the stronger their combat effectiveness is.

When the Tang Dynasty really began to set its sights on Goguryeo and them, they would have to face these barbarians.

Rather than wasting more power on them then, it would be better to start weakening them all right now.

Since he has the idea of operating this line for a long time, and privately plans to make this side another way out, Lin Sen must have ordered a few sea ships here early to facilitate his own service in the future.

There is not much need for secrecy for the time being, and there is no need to be too loyal, and the crew can be recruited from the local area.

Of course, this ship type will not be a dazzling oversized guy like auspicious Ruyi, but just a large cargo ship that is common in the local area.

However, at present, if the Lin family caravan wants to complete this first transaction, it will definitely not be able to count on those merchant ships that have not yet left the shipyard.

Fortunately, Li Shimin's side has already made arrangements, and a fleet that has nothing to do with the royal family on the surface, but is actually a loyal team under Li Shimin's hands, will be responsible for sending the Lin family caravan to a suitable location at a suitable distance from the Black Water Spirit.

Then they turned around and went to the Wa Kingdom to fulfill their true mission.

On the way back, the Lin family caravan can come back by land through Youzhou.

The land of the five states, including Youzhou, is now in the hands of Lin Sen's father-in-law, Cheng Yanjin, and he can still eat and take cards for the Lin family's caravan.

Spirits are packed in bottles and cans, and it is really inconvenient to transport them by land.

And when they come back, most of the goods they bring with them are not so delicate, and land transportation can fully meet them.

Through these two routes, the caravan people can compare which way is more suitable, and by the way, they can also help collect information along the way.

The movements of those countries and the defense of each city will be the focus of their post-trade observations, and they will also prepare for the attack on these places in the future.

Here, Lin Sen had just arranged the caravan and the fleet with heavy responsibilities and sent them away, and then a group of people came to the door.
