Chapter 37 The Tibetan Merchants
October 19, cloudy!
Early in the morning, Ye Heng hurried to the restaurant.
Because...... Pang Tietou came back, he and Hu Buxiu pulled two carriages, and even a few Tubo people came back with them!
It was not so much to follow, but rather to help these Tibetans send them back.
Tibetans?
Ye Heng, who was worried that he couldn't buy cumin before, the stone in his heart fell.
Sure enough, in the backyard of the restaurant, after unloading the goods on the carriage, Ye Heng actually bought all the ingredients he requested, of course...... Some of them were bought by Pang Tietou in Luzhou.
Hu Buxiu and Pang Tietou were also a little happy, and they talked to Ye Heng about the experience of knowing these Tubo people.
It turned out that this Tibetan merchant was called Tawang, who was a trader active on the border between Tibet and the Great Song Dynasty, and knew the language of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's funny to say, this Tawang is a little unaware of the height of the sky, he was received by Tubo Puzan when he was in Tibet, Puzan is equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains, so after this guy arrived in the capital, he went to the palace and shouted to see the emperor.
If this were another dynasty, maybe Dawang would be arrested immediately and then asked, but the Great Song Dynasty was different, first of all, the Song Dynasty ruled the country with literature and prospered the country with courtesy, although Dawang's behavior was a little rude, but the emperor did not blame him after knowing it, maybe it was because he had not seen the Tubo people, and the emperor actually ordered to summon this Dawang.
Tawang was excited, so he made a lot of preparations, and brought a lot of goods in his hand, such as yak horns, mink, night pearls and other treasures, and also brought some special products such as cumin barley, ready to be presented to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
However, Dawang met Zhao Frame, the most simple emperor in the history of China for thousands of years, and Zhao Frame is not very old now, and now there is a Liu E staring at the power of the court, so Zhao Frame wants to behave well, saying that these horns and mink are all luxury items, and the palace is a place that serves as a model for the people of the world, how can it drive this flashy atmosphere?
rejected Tawang's offering, and the Empress Dowager Liu E was also old at this time, and in recent years, she felt more and more powerless to control the government, so she agreed with Zhao Frame's opinion.
Zhao Huandu said that it was a flashy atmosphere, if she still went to take other people's mink horns, wouldn't it be luxurious?
Besides, Liu E is also a person who advocates simplicity, and can be said to be a virtuous queen and queen mother in history.
Hitting a nail, Tawang was not discouraged.
You don't like extravagant things? Well, you always like my delicious cumin and barley, right?
So he changed to offering food and ingredients and accessories, this time Zhao Frame was happy, and then summoned the eunuch of internal affairs, who knew that the eunuch shook his head again and again when he saw these things, saying that they didn't need them at all, and that these things didn't taste good.
Especially after Dawang took out the cordyceps, the eunuch was startled, and said to Zhao Jian that this is a dead and dried insect, and the Tubo people actually eat insects!
In this way, the ministers are disgusted!
Yes, it was rejected again.
Dawang was so angry, when he returned to his residence, he scolded in Tubo dialect, scolding the people of the Song Dynasty for not knowing the goods, but after thinking about it, these things in Tubo are very popular in the border area, why can't they be in the north?
Is it a local problem?
As a businessman, Tawang naturally didn't want to run in vain, so he went south to bring it to Suzhou and Hangzhou, hoping to meet some people who knew the goods, and then exchange them with the things in his hand.
The embroidery and brocade of Suzhou and Hangzhou are famous all over the world, and after arriving in the capital, Tawang also heard about the Pu family's rich wine, so he bought it and drank a bowl.
This strengthened Tawang's determination to come to Hangzhou, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived in Luzhou, he met someone who wanted to buy his cumin......
A long drought is full of nectar, encountering old acquaintances in other places, candles in the cave room, and ...... When the title of the gold list is inscribed!
Anyway, it's a lot of fun, pulling Pang Tietou and Hu Buxiu to mutter a lot, Pang Tietou and Hu Buxiu didn't understand, and later Dawang changed to the language of the Song Dynasty, only to explain his intention, and he also said that he wanted to come to Hangzhou to meet this person who was willing to buy his goods!
After listening to Pang Tietou and Hu Bu's narration, Ye Heng now knew why Dawang's eyes were as if he had seen another lover when he looked at him just now, very eager!
At that time, Ye Heng also had goosebumps, thinking that this guy was a glass!
Seeing Ye Heng look over, Dawang grinned, he was dressed as a typical Tubo person, and the clothes he was wearing were also Tubo clothes, and he also had a big braid on the left, with a full beard, and he couldn't even see his lips when he spoke.
"Haha, hello!"
After confirming that Ye Heng was the person he was looking for, Dawang greeted Ye Heng in stiff Chinese.
Ye Heng smiled, and then asked, "I heard that your goods often can't be sold?" ”
"That's because they don't know the goods!"
Dawang is a businessman, and when he heard Ye Heng's words, he felt that something was wrong with the taste, so he hurriedly corrected the name of his goods, and then praised it again: "This ...... Cordyceps, eating this is very good for people, greatly good! ”
"Great?"
Ye Heng was speechless, how could this guy talk like a Japanese devil on TV?
In fact, of course Ye Heng knows the value of Cordyceps, this thing is known to have a higher nutritional value than ginseng, although its sales are a little different, but the main effect is good!
After thinking about it, Ye Heng looked at Tawang and asked, "How many goods did you bring over?" ”
"These are my goods!"
Tawang pointed to the vehicle in the backyard, and saw that it was full, and the number of cordyceps alone was no less than a few hundred catties!
"So much!"
Ye Heng exclaimed, this thing is really good, but it is a great supplement, and those night pearls and mink furs are also valuable things, as for the yak horn, it is also a medicine itself, and it can also be made into a very exquisite comb, women like it very much, and combing their hair with this kind of comb even has the effect of calming the nerves!
These things are all treasures!
Ye Heng groaned, and for a moment he looked at Dawang and smiled slightly, and asked, "What do you want to exchange your goods for?" ”
