"It's up ahead, my lords. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]"

The typical residence of Hu merchants in Xishi is dirty and messy, and there is a smell of noise, all kinds of Hu people wearing sheepskin jackets and dirty people speak all kinds of languages, and they can break their heads and blood for a little profit, if it weren't for the legendary weapon material Uzi Steel, Li Jie covered his nose and wanted to go back.

Following a few careful Tianzhu merchants turned left and right, a hostel can be counted, and the owner is also a Tang man, but the old guy obviously doesn't want to see this group of Tianzhu merchants who defecate everywhere, and he didn't even say hello when he came back, until he saw Li Jie, who was dressed in brocade clothes, follow in, and then he was a little more energetic, but Li Jie was already a little impatient, and he still had the mind to nag with an old man.

He went upstairs without paying attention, but as soon as he turned a corner, the oncoming fishy smell made Li Jie cover his nose and take a step back, facing the room at the end of the corridor, a Turkic old man was hugging a fat Turkic old lady Where is London, the smell of not taking a bath for a long time, the smell of sweaty feet, and the smell of doing that thing made Li Jie nauseous.

Especially mentally disgusting, even if it is a pleasure to look at ugly men and beautiful women, but looking at this fat Turkic woman with a black and green face, and the same chest hair, it is definitely mental torture, so that she will not die, seeing the handsome and dignified Li Jie, the Turkic old man still waved his hand very ****.

"The Azak show, Hardwood."

The Tang Dynasty people like mothers, play together!

"Grass, Lao Tzu plays with your sister, no, it's disgusting to play with your sister!" With a blue muscle, the corners of Li Jie's mouth twitched and waved his hand directly.

"Call Lao Tzu!"

"Zayk, Zayk, Ulebilik......"

A few rangers who covered their noses and were smoked with a belly picked up the Turkic man and threw it into the corner of the wall to beat the children, and the Turkic children screamed and begged for mercy, but unfortunately, several rangers did not recognize all the Chinese characters, where to understand the Turkic language, and the beating was even more ruthless, which proves the importance of learning a foreign language well.

What disgusted Li Jie was that the flesh and blood of this Turkic man who was beaten were flying, and the old Turkic lady who was taken down actually drooled at herself, and that kind of look was definitely the color of Chiguoguo.

"Damn, let's go!"

That vision is more lethal than Sister Furong before she lost weight, her scalp is numb, Li Jie doesn't dislike the smell of curry, and he walked to the front with a few Tianzhu merchants, hurriedly walked through the long corridor in two steps, and opened a large package in a room with a stronger curry flavor, and the Tianzhu merchants finally held out twelve black iron balls with a slight tremble.

"This is Uzi Steel?" Picking up one with one hand, the iron ball with a big steamed bun is actually quite heavy, at least five or six catties, and a Datang horizontal knife is seven or eight catties, and it is true that two iron balls can only be played out, listening to Li Jie's questioning, several Tianzhu businessmen trembled again, pushing and shoving This can speak Chinese The one hurriedly explained.

"Lord Wang, I really don't dare to lie to you this time, this high-grade Uzi steel ingot, just bring so much, this thing is also a rare item in our Tianzhu."

This time, a few Tianzhu people really didn't dare to lie, too, under the threat of squatting in the dark cell of Datang for a lifetime, this little wealth is nothing, although this pass is equivalent to emptying half of the value of a few guys.

Listening to the half-impenetrable Guanzhong of the Tianzhu people for a long time, Li Jie understood that it was no wonder that several Tianzhu merchants had traveled thousands of miles to bring such a few iron lumps.

Uzi steel is produced in the north of Tianzhu, today's Hyderabad in Pakistan, where the iron ore is pure and special, without forging, it has charming natural stripes, sharp, strong, flexible, all in one, but such a good thing, the output is also small and pitiful, these twelve Uzi steel ingots, but it took several years of iron ore mining to accumulate.

And after smelting, it is also necessary for the master craftsmen in the north of Tianzhu to strictly control the amount of black manganese ore, bamboo charcoal, and the leaves of some plants to be sealed in the casing for refining, so that the black and inconspicuous but can train the magic weapon of the Uzi steel ingot was born in the world.

Although it is less, it is not impossible to bring a hundred pieces of trade at a time, but recently it is more coincidental that the war between Persia and Dashi has entered a white heat, because it has a relationship with the Sassanid Empire of Persia, and the Kushan in northern India has sold almost all the Uzi steel to Damascus, and these pieces are still the ancestors of several Tianzhu merchants.

Originally, he went through a lot of hardships and dangers and wanted to make a fortune in Datang, but as a result of the reason for soaking in urine, these things belonged to others, watching Li Jie think about rubbing a few iron balls, and a few Tianzhu merchants were like watching their wives and being led to bed by others, that uncomfortable energy, don't mention it.

However, after playing with a few big iron balls for a while, Li Jie suddenly turned around and asked solemnly.

"Can you get this Uzi steel in Tianzhu again?"

"It should be about the same." After a moment's hesitation, the Tianzhu merchant replied cautiously.

"Our ancestors were mine workers, and we know a wide range of people, so if we can spend some money, we can still squeeze out some more shares."

"Very good, Qin Qing, take these Tianzhu merchants to the West Qin Tower in a while, take one hundred and twenty yuan, and I bought these twelve Uzi steel ingots."

"Boss, didn't they say they were dedicated to us?"

In the end, he was still a small farmer, Scar Liu immediately asked eagerly, but he didn't answer him, Li Jie ordered a few Tianzhu merchants who were surprised.

"But I have a request, you go back to Tianzhu, how many of these ingots you make, and bring them back to Chang'an, or ten pieces!"

Scar Liu was relieved, but Wang Wei's eyes had a deep meaning, take it in advance, you must give it first, and you want to pay for it, at this point, Li Jie is very courageous.

Scar Liu carried dozens of pounds of Uzi steel ingots on his back, this kid is really strong like a cow, as if he didn't carry things to walk easily, just got a big benefit, as soon as he got downstairs, a few shrewd and cunning Tianzhu merchants once again eagerly opened the other goods in the warehouse.

"Lord Wang, you are looking at it, the best white cloth! This color, this material, made of clothes, is definitely worthy of all nobles. ”

These guys are also cunning, seeing that they don't want their things, but instead sell them to the door, they laugh secretly in their hearts, but seeing Qin Qing's interested appearance, Li Jie also nodded, and the Tianzhu merchant immediately eagerly spread out the white stacked cloth, looking at the patterns on it, Li Jie touched the feel again, but couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Is this cotton!

In this era, there is no acrylic, imitation cotton and black-hearted cotton, touched the feel, and saw that Qin Qing really liked it, so Li Jie asked casually.

"How much does this thing cost a horse?"

"Lord Wang, the white cloth on the market in the West Market is all fifteen and one horse, and the prince is kind to us, so let's do it ten times."

"What?" Li Jie screamed in disbelief.

As an active archaeologist, he is different from the princes in the palace who come to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths, and he is mixed in the market, and he still knows the prices of Datang very well.

Consistent money of 1,000 wen, equivalent to a horse of lower grade silk, such as today's peace, a bucket of rice dropped to 11 wen, ten buckets of rice for one stone, about one hundred and twenty-five catties, that is to say, consistent money can buy eight to nine stone rice, more than a ton of rice.

The consistent money is enough for a family of three in the suburbs of Chang'an to eat for a year!

"This thing is more expensive than silk?"

In my impression, the cotton fabrics used by Li Jie at that time were all over the street, and the cheapest silk clothes cost more than 100, which was too impressive, and it was no wonder that Li Jie was surprised.

Hearing his question, several Tianzhu merchants didn't know how to answer for a while, but Wang Wei rushed to explain to Li Jie on the side.

"Jiulang, in Chang'an City, the white cloth is indeed at this price, and the price they give is indeed a lot cheaper, to say that this grass cotton, we also have planting in Guanzhong, but this thing is too scattered, it is too difficult to spin into thread, and the woven white cloth is indeed sweat-absorbing and breathable, so the price has been high."

As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, Li Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, he came out today to find a business opportunity, isn't this a business opportunity? Is it difficult to spin or utilize? Although Li Jie was very rare at that time, the sound of playing cotton and singing from house to house when he was a child is always a lingering memory!

What's more, it doesn't have to be spun into thread, the elastic cotton can also play a very good warmth effect when sewn directly into the clothes, and his father Li Shimin is not going to fight Liaodong recently, this thing is definitely usable at this time! Maybe we can talk about the conditions of Tubo and relatives.

Thinking about it, the more Li Jie thought about it, the happier he became, and he was so happy that a few Tianzhu merchants and Wang Wei were all black lines, no, a few times cheaper, His Royal Highness was happy to be like this?

In the inn, in a strange atmosphere, suddenly there was a rush of the rolling wheels of a carriage outside, accompanied by the scream of a delicate woman, a wit. Li Jie came back to his senses from his plan to make a fortune.

"The voice? It seems to be, Gao Yang! ”

Why did this girl come to the West Market? The question flashed by, and he didn't care about any white cloth, Li Jie hurriedly rushed out of the hotel, and sure enough, at the end of the road, two horses pulled a carriage with a royal symbol on the road, stumbling and rampage on the road, and the familiar girl's scream came from the carriage window.

"Damn, why didn't you ride a horse when you came out?"

With a depressed complaint, Li Jie chased after him, and Wang Wei, who didn't know why, hurriedly followed, but in the end, it was a fake ranger, and he didn't run a few hundred meters, and Wang Wei and several other literati were all thrown away.

The two horses didn't know why they were frightened, anyway, they were running for their lives, and the vendors in the west market along the way suffered, and they were kicked by the horses' hooves and rolled all over the ground with eggs and fruits, and the neighing of the horses was extremely lively for a while, but fortunately, these obstacles slowed down the carriage, and Li Jie, who had been exercising for a long time, did not lose it, and still hung tightly behind the carriage.

Whoosh, taking advantage of the turn of the carriage, Li Jie threw himself out like a spirit ape with a wine flag beside him, and landed on the outer edge of the carriage in a hurry, and as soon as his heart was loosened, Li Jie grabbed the eaves of the carriage and hurriedly climbed forward, wanting to grab the reins of the horse, but at this time, an accident happened.

With a chirp, another basket of eggs was kicked by the horse's hooves, stepping on the slippery eggs, and suddenly the horse on the left slipped directly, and fell to the ground with a chirp, and suddenly the entire carriage tilted over, seeing that the carriage was about to press itself underneath, Li Jie's brain immediately went blank.

Wouldn't it, it's hard to be a prince, and this will be crushed to death? Damn, my family Qingqing, I haven't eaten the green beads yet!

Confused and depressed, Li Jie helplessly closed his eyes and waited to be crushed to death, but for a long time, a difficult voice suddenly sounded from his side.

"Brother Ren, can you come down first?"

"Holy!"

Li Jie's eyes almost didn't pop out, the royal carriage was full of real work, there were hundreds of catties, plus two big living people, and the centrifugal force of the flying horse galloping, there were more than a thousand catties, this momentum was stunned to let the stupid big man next to him hold it down, although the blood vessels in his neck were bulging.

Humanoid tanks!.
