Therefore, choosing an absolutely safe trading base can be said to be imminent for Qin Shaoyou.

On the one hand, this place should not be too far away from the Guansai, and secondly, it is necessary to ensure that it is not subject to the Guansai, otherwise those border troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty are afraid that there will not be a few fuel-efficient lamps, these people can not care who protects your place, and it is the best plan for Qin Shaoyou to get out of the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

As for the most important point, Qin Shaoyou must have enough manpower to be able to protect this stronghold and the trade route leading to Guansai.

This is actually the best thing to do, it is nothing more than to ask this Lord Taishan to lead troops to protect, after all, he is a Turkic Khan, with 100,000 iron horsemen in his hands, and he has conquered all the tribes of Mobei, but it is just ...... This kind of relationship is obviously not very reliable, so Qin Shaoyou found the easiest way to solve the current problem - agency.

The so-called agent, that is, Qin Shaoyou holds the pricing power of the first layer, what is the price of tea, Saqi horses, and cloth, of course, after he sets a more suitable wholesale price, all the goods are handed over to Gu Dulu to sell, and Gu Dulu masters the entire desert of tea, Saqi horses and cloth, and then he sells these goods to various departments, and makes huge profits from them.

In this way, Gu Dulu can not only earn money through these necessities or luxury goods, but most importantly, he can also strengthen his control over the desert through these, but whenever any tribe is dissatisfied with him, he can cut off the supply of tea at the first time, at the same time, because there is enough profit in the trade, to put it bluntly, at that time, he wanted money and money, and he wanted people, and with an order, all the ministries naturally gathered under his wings in order to get more tea, and directly beat up those who were not convinced.

In this way, the interests of Gu Dulu and Qin Shaoyou are completely connected. Qin Shaoyou's trade in the desert is not only related to the interests of Qin Shaoyou alone, but also has great benefits for Gu Dulu, so he maintains the trade route. Protecting this stronghold has become something he has to worry about, otherwise the tea hoarded here will be plundered, Qin Shaoyou will be empty-handed, and his life will be very difficult.

Figured out this joint. Qin Shaoyou was not in a hurry to talk to Gu Dulu, after all, Gu Dulu was afraid that he had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and the more Qin Shaoyou pretended to be indifferent, the more benefits he could make from it.

However, the various ministries became more and more attentive to Qin Shaoyou, how could this kind of extra diligence not attract the attention of Gu Dulu?

It's just that Gu Dulu has changed his opinion on Qin Shaoyou, but it is inconvenient to come forward to talk about this kind of thing. Let that Yuanzhen come forward.

Yuan Zhen's mood is extremely dignified, he is not a fool, and now all the departments are suddenly very enthusiastic about this Qin Shaoyou, for this tea, it can even be said that when everyone realizes the power of tea, whoever gets the tea will be a little stronger.

After all, this thing is something that can increase the average life expectancy, and population has always been the key issue of life and death between the various parts of the desert.

It is said that when Qin Shaoyou was eating and drinking with people. released a rumor that he wanted to 'produce' something, but Yuan Zhen didn't know much about this agent or something. But there was one thing, he understood, that there was only one tribe that would peddle tea and other goods in this desert in the future, and there would be no other semicolon.

If so. Then the matter is serious, the Turkic Department is not without challenges within the desert, in the early days, the Khitan Department was often unruly, this is a well-known thing, although Qin Shaoyou is the son-in-law of the Great Khan, this tea should also fall to the Great Khan's agent, but who knows what will happen in the middle. He knows these southerners too well, is this Qin Shaoyou just a fuel-efficient lamp?

So Yuan Zhen tested Qin Shaoyou a few times, Qin Shaoyou was vague, and sometimes he was in a hurry, so Qin Shaoyou said with a straight face: "My mission now is to be an envoy, as an envoy, the most important thing is the marriage between the eldest princess and your prince, as for these private matters, I have to put them aside, otherwise I will be uneasy because of public affairs." ”

Yuan Zhen is bored, although he is a Turkic Han people, Zhuge Kongming, who claims to be the Turkic country, but it is more cunning than cunning, but in fact, it is 108,000 miles worse than Qin Shaoyou, Qin Shaoyou is a person in two lives, a person who has been tempered in the court of the Great Zhou, and the opponents he faces, which one of them is scheming far above Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen is not even enough to lift shoes for Zhou Xing.

Qin Shaoyou uses the most well-known Tai Chi boxing, in short, it will make you never scratch your head.

Wonjin's heart was a little messy.

Gu Dulu asked him a few times, and he finally spread his hands, so he had to say to Gu Dulu: "Great Khan, I'm afraid that the ministries and the Qin Qin envoy said something, I think someone is cheating, this matter is very important, I have to guard against it, whoever holds this tea, who is the king of the desert, the Great Khan must not be taken lightly, in my opinion, this Qin Shaoyou is the son-in-law of the Great Khan after all, and it is better for the Great Khan to come forward." ”

Gu Dulu's old face twitched, and then he sighed heavily.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Turks always make Qin Shaoyou feel strange about their son-in-law, isn't it because the son-in-law doesn't kiss?

This is a question that Qin Shaoyou has been thinking about, because from beginning to end, although Gu Dulu's attitude towards him has changed, he is still very distant in nature, and he basically does not communicate with each other, Qin Shaoyou sighs every time, but he doesn't know whether to say that the world is cold or because of this custom.

Three or two days later, Gu Dulu finally took the initiative to find Qin Shaoyou.

As soon as he saw Qin Shaoyou, his attitude was much more unexpected than Qin Shaoyou, but he saw that the old man didn't say a word, and directly gave Qin Shaoyou a bear hug: "Virtuous son-in-law, are you used to living here?" Ha ha...... Look at you, you're a little thinner than a few days ago, you've come all the way, but you have to be more relaxed, this is your second home......"

Qin Shaoyou hurriedly took a step back and saluted respectfully.

Gu Dulu's face changed, and he said: "What is this like, you and my son-in-law, don't be so polite, although you southerners have a saying that many people are not strange, but this is your own home, Ben Khan, is your closest relative, this kind of etiquette is exempt, this kind of weather is really cold, we Turkic people spend the winter, it is indeed the case, if you stay here until the beginning of spring, I will take you to hunt, when the water and grass are abundant, there are wild things near this tooth tent, have you hunted wolves?" Good fellow, there is a water pool a few hundred miles to the north, where the wolf is half a man high, if you are lucky, you meet a white wolf, peel off its skin, you can make a wolf skin coat, this is a very warm thing, but you have the imperial order of your southerners, it is expected that you will not be able to wait for that time, but this is not a big deal, the big deal, Ben Khan went to hunt, and asked someone to take it to you. ”

"Taishan ......" Qin Shaoyou was touched by Gu Dulu's enthusiasm, and said busily: "How can there be such a reason, the son-in-law deserves it." ”

Gu Dulu's eyes widened, and he said; "What kind of words is this, the family doesn't say the words of the two families, Ben Khan is such a person, at first it was not wrong to have a prejudice against you, but now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, he will treat you as his own child, come and come, sit with me, hey, you have the fragrance of tea here, but you are drinking tea?"

"Uh...... Tarzan wants to eat tea, come to ......"

"You don't have to...... You don't have to ......" Gu Dulu said with a smile: "Ben Khan likes to eat tea very much, after eating tea, it is warm, and the whole body is happy, this thing is better than wine, but today I don't want to eat it, your tea is a good thing, have you ever thought about taking tea to sell it on our grassland?" If you want to, this matter will be wrapped up in Ben Khan, all in all, but if there is any difficulty, as long as you open your mouth, you and I will be a son-in-law, Ben Khan will never allow it. ”

Speaking of which, whether it is a poor dagger, or whether it is to open the skylight and say bright words, Qin Shaoyou can no longer dodge, he said with a smile: "There are difficulties, if you want to sell tea, there must always be a place to communicate with each other......

Gu Dulu came prepared, and immediately said: "This is easy to do, within a radius of two hundred miles from your side, there is a place called Wolf Fort, that place, the terrain is open, extending in all directions, it was originally built by your Han army when the capital was in the palace, it was originally used to hoard grain and grass, at its peak, there were 7,000 officers and soldiers stationed there, and there were many merchants there, and even the warehouse was existing, but then it gradually became barren, and your officers and soldiers withdrew, but there were still a lot of merchants, They are all some merchants who exchange markets with our Turkic tribes, and this place will be ruled by the virtuous son-in-law in the future, and Ben Khan will allocate some slaves to you, so that you can repair it there, okay? ”

Qin Shaoyou frowned and said: "This is good, but you said that the terrain is open, in this desert, all departments are mixed, and it is said that there are horse thieves, once my goods are delivered, if I am targeted by those unscrupulous people, won't I lose all my money?" ”

Gu Dulu said: "It's your problem to be inside the pass, but out of the pass, it's my business, I will transfer 5,000 warriors to be stationed near there, and take on the responsibility of guarding and escorting. ”

With this sentence, it can be regarded as a guarantee, Qin Shaoyou knows that his father-in-law may have a finer abacus elsewhere, but he is by no means a person who easily breaks his oath.
