The idea was all Li Feng's idea at the beginning, but he didn't expect that when Li Shimin's blood was boiling and his heart was excited, he once again spoke out to stop it, which made Li Shimin and Li Chengqian start to look at each other, and they couldn't figure out what Li Feng was doing.

"The fourth brother thinks what's wrong? Are you worried about some bad intentions on the Turkic side, or are you worried about those people? ”

However, Li Shimin still fully respected Li Feng's opinion, so he asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

If there are any scruples about this matter, there is no doubt that there are only two aspects. One of them, of course, is afraid that the Turkic side will play some tricks. On the other hand, that is the people Li Feng mentioned just now. After all, if you cut off people's financial resources, people will definitely not give up.

However, these do not seem to be too big a problem for the current Datang and Li Shimin. Needless to say, on the Turkic side, if you want to play any tricks, it's a big deal that the war will resume when the time comes, and Li Shimin is not afraid of war. I can't say it, even the excuse for leaving the teacher will be ready-made at that time.

As for the rest of the clowns who jumped off the beam, to be honest, Li Shimin still wished they would jump out and make trouble. As long as he can stand his ground, Li Shimin doesn't mind making a big deal out of them. It just so happens that now that the foreign war has come to an end, it is time to free up energy to deal with domestic affairs.

"I'm not saying it's bad, but I don't think it's good enough. I think it's better to build a trading market while ensuring that the trade routes are safe and smooth. ”

Of course, Li Feng is not against this cooperation, but feels that if this thing is not done, it will not be done, and if it is done, it will be done big and well. After Xin Baihualou went back last night, he has been thinking about this matter and thinking about it. The best course of action is to build a large international trading market directly at the border.

"Fourth brother, do you mean to open the market at the border?"

Although the trading market in Li Feng's mouth made people listen to it a little bit, Li Shimin still quickly understood what Li Feng meant.

"That's right, it's open"

Seeing that Li Shimin understood what he meant, Li Feng nodded and said.

After seeing Li Feng nodding, Li Shimin did not speak immediately, but pondered there, thinking about the pros and cons. Still, think about it. The brow began to furrow slowly, and I don't know if I couldn't figure out why I needed to do this, or if I thought of something difficult.

"Fourth brother, can you tell me what are the benefits of doing this?"

After a while. Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Feng and asked slowly. Since Li Feng put forward such an idea, of course he has his reasons. Everything, let's wait to hear Li Feng's reasons before making a decision.

"As far as I know, in the past, the Silk Road was based on the West Market of Changpress, and then along the trade route all the way to transport goods to various countries. And elsewhere in the country. However, due to the limitations of various reasons, few people participated. As a result, the role of this economic lifeline is greatly limited. ”

There are many reasons for this. For example, there are many people, due to financial reasons, goods reasons. Or maybe they don't have the strength to trade far-reaching. This has to be said to be a great regret and loss. ”

"And if you can open the market directly at the border. As a result, the barrier to entry for this trade has become lower, and many goods can be traded only by transporting them to the border. In this way, more people in more places will definitely be involved, and this trade lifeline will flourish even more."

"The more people do this kind of business, the more competition becomes fiercer. Only when there is competition can there be vitality, and the current monopoly situation can be quickly broken. ”

"The transaction becomes more convenient, the transaction volume will become larger, not to mention anything else, if the time comes to collect tariffs, it will bring more benefits to the imperial court."

With Li Feng's explanation, Li Shimin suddenly became excited again. To be honest, he really didn't expect that this thing would have such a big and so many benefits.

Indeed, if the market is really opened at the border, it will be a great thing for the merchants at that time. There is no doubt that this business will flourish. It can even bloom all over the ground. The threshold is lowered, and there must be more people to get started.

As soon as there are more people, the impact on those families who have been monopolizing this industry will be even greater. In the same way, taxes will become more substantial. These two points alone made Li Shimin's heart move.

"Okay, haha, I know that as long as the matter is in your hands, the fourth brother, it will definitely become unexpected. This market is good, the market is good, this and that trading market must be built, it must be built. ”

"Well, if this market is built, it will also be very beneficial to the stability of the border gates. At least in the future, the transportation of border materials will not have to be so nerve-wracking for the imperial court, as long as this market is there, a large amount of materials will definitely be hoarded."

"Moreover, this market has been built. It can also avoid any accidents in the future, and let the Turks break the Silk Road, well, yes, not bad"

At this time, Li Shimin may be in a good mood, and he seems to have suddenly opened his mind. The more I think about it, the more beneficial this advice becomes. It's just that Li Feng thinks about economic things, while Li Shimin thinks of other things.

As the saying goes, different positions, of course, different ways of thinking about problems, and different things in mind, this is normal.

"However, it is not cheap to build such a market. If the market is too small to be built, it must be built grandiosely. Now the treasury wants to come up with this money, but it can't come out, what do you think about this, fourth brother?"

At this point, the matter can already be decided, but soon Li Shimin began to frown again, because he immediately thought about the problem of money.

Whether the treasury can take out this money is a problem, and the biggest problem is that when such a large amount of investment is made, many people will use it as an excuse to oppose it. After all, in the long-standing concept, this business thing is a deliberately devalued thing. What's more, at such a time when the treasury is not full and money is being asked everywhere.

Also, if this thing is really done, it will be fatal damage to the interests of some people, and it is impossible for those people to go without action.

"Father, I think this matter may be handled in the old way"

Seeing Li Shimin's sad face, Li Chengqian, who had been listening, did speak. Because, all of a sudden, he thought of a solution.

"The old way? What's the old way? ”

"Well, it's like the method used by the fourth uncle when the square was built last time. Because, if this market is really established. Among them, the vast majority must be shops and warehouses, and the market was established by the imperial court, and these things certainly belong to the imperial court. And if the merchants want to use these things, they either rent them or buy them. In this way, isn't it exactly the same as the love behavior on the other side of the square? So, why don't we use the old way and do the empty glove white wolf again? ”

Last time, Li Chengqian participated in the construction of the Monument Square, so he was very clear about not a single link. Although he doesn't know much about this so-called market, it is nothing more than that.

In this way, if it is done correctly, it is possible to use the same methods used when the square was built. Then, all the problems will be solved.

"Yes, that's a good idea. However, this time it is different from the situation in the square. If you want to persuade those businessmen to invest money, you still need to make some preparations. Fourth brother, look at this."

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Li Shimin also reacted. Indeed, this is not a clear way to do it. If it is operated properly, not only can it not cost the court much financial, material and manpower, but it may even be able to make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, he nodded at Li Chengqian with great satisfaction, and then looked at Li Feng with a smile on his face.

"Don't look at me, I don't care about this matter, you can figure it out yourself."

Anti-Li Shimin looked at himself, and Li Feng hurriedly said that he would not do this thing. What are you kidding, the last time in the square, he was ready to do it a long time ago, so there was no way. Also, the construction of the square, which is only in Chang'an, is an hour away from home.

And the trading market to be built now is at the border, and even if there is an urgent report at the border, it will take several days to arrive. Moreover, with such a large market, the devil knows when it will be built.

If you don't do it, he won't do anything about it. This is even worse than the last time I went to battle.

"Well, there's no urgency in this matter, the preliminary work will take a long time. However, it is now possible to finalize the proposal made by the Turkic side first. ”

Seeing Li Feng's expression, Li Shimin knew that it was impossible to let Li Feng be in charge of this matter. But fortunately, firstly, this matter is not urgent, and secondly, there is already a matter of Monument Square, which can be regarded as something to learn from.

Now that everything has been explained, there is nothing to do with him Li Feng here. In the following time, he began to concentrate on the decoration of his shop.

Now the weather is getting colder and colder, it is a good time to sell clothes, the sooner this store is done, the sooner the business can be carried out, and the sooner Rou Niang can settle down.

There are too many things in the world, and our ability is too small to manage so many things. There are too many people in the world, and our hearts are too small to care. This can be said to be the truest portrayal of Li Feng.
