"Oh? So, you've been in the army for so many years? In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant near Youzhou Hotel, two people sat by the window, and Mo Kefeng asked Tukeli with some pity.

"Well, yes, the people who came with me to sell wool are brothers I knew from the war, and then we all got together to raise sheep and graze," Tukoli said, but his eyes were still a little distracted, and what happened when he was selling wool just now seemed to be imprinted in his mind, constantly reappearing......

"Yo, isn't this Xibu, why are you free today?" A Tang man with a weighing rod in his hand spoke Tang dialect that Tukeli did not understand, and asked Xibu beside Tukeli.

And Xibu's expression was a little flattering, and he hurriedly replied in jerky Chinese: "Where, where, today, bring, fellow villagers, selling wool." ”

"Oh~" The Tang man with the rod scale showed a smile on his face, and said: "You are in a hurry, now the demand for wool in Chang'an is particularly large, I heard that now the nobles do not wear a woolen sweater in Chang'an in the winter, they will be ridiculed, so the price of wool has risen even higher, it used to be ten yuan a catty, and now it has risen to thirteen yuan, you are now selling it, but you have made a lot of money." ”

&n――bsp; When Xibu heard this, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he nodded and said, "That's true, thank you Brother Song, catch up with Ming, please Brother Song, congratulations." ”

The Tang man laughed, "Okay, then I'll sit and wait for Brother Xibu to have a treat~" ......

The wool trade was very smooth, and the Tang people weighed it, and then a bookkeeper settled the accounts. The wool was piled up in the yard. Give money to those Turks. The transaction is considered complete.

But touching the bag of silver in his bosom, Tukeli felt a little unreal as in a dream, these silver, he burned and plundered on the border and could not steal a tenth of this money, and now he had only sold wool once, and obtained so much money, he suddenly felt that he was so stupid, that he had fought hard in the army and only had a little spoil. And now there is nothing to do on the steppe, just raise some sheep and shear their wool, you can exchange so much money.

Tukeli felt that this qiē didn't seem to be real, so he reached out again and touched the bag of silver in his arms, heavy, coupled with the unique texture of metal, Tukeli's heart flew up to the clouds.

Mo Kefeng, who was sitting in front of him, also shook his head when he saw Tukeli's movements, and said with a smile: "It feels like a dream~"

Tukeli subconsciously let out a "hmm". But soon his face turned a little red, after all, the drunken appearance was a little out of shape.

I saw Mo Kefeng wave his hand. The expression was relaxed: "The first time I came to sell wool, when those Tang people gave me a bag of fifty taels of payment, I was even worse than you, I was stunned at the gate for an hour, and I couldn't believe that the money was mine, you know, fifty taels is enough to buy an adult's rations for a year in the market." ”

Tukeli listened with relish, and he was also curious about Uncle Mokfeng's experience.

Mo Kefeng said with some emotion: "I have lived to my age, sooner or later I will return to Tengger, but I don't want to be starved to death, although the Tang Dynasty is the enemy of the Turks, but now it gives us a way to live, so I don't have a trace of hostility towards it now, I just want to spend the rest of my life here in peace, and by the way, I will save some more money for your sister, I heard that the king of the Tang Dynasty is now a brother with the leader of our Western Turks, the Turki Khan, and is considering helping us build a school in the Western Turks, your sister is pitiful, My father and mother died as soon as I was born, and now I have grown to seven or eight years old, I heard the Tang people say that there are subsidies for children who go to school, and there are special people to take care of them, but they have to pay an admission fee, so your uncle and I will look forward to this in my life. ”

Tukeli nodded seriously and encouraged: "Uncle Mokefeng, what you think will definitely come true." ”

Mo Kefeng smiled and teased: "Don't talk about uncle, but talk about you, you are not young anymore, now you can make money by selling wool, hurry up and save money to buy more cattle and sheep, be diligent, and marry a daughter-in-law in two years." ”

When Tukeli heard this, he actually showed an embarrassed look, scratched his head, and made a big red face......

"Oh, husband, you didn't know at the time, today is really angry with the concubine~"

Red Luo tent, jade incense lamp, gold silk ball, honeycomb stove, in the bedroom of the owner's mansion of Xujiazhuang, Liu Mengli knelt on the bed and helped Xu Yang beat his back and said.

"What's wrong? Why are you still angry when you go shopping~" Xu Yang said with a smile.

Liu Mengli muttered and said: "It's not the proprietress of Yonghe cloth connoisseurship, obviously the wool in Chang'an is fifty yuan a catty, she is good, she has to sell fifty-five yuan, the concubine is the most unaccustomed to such a cheap businessman, so she reasoned with her, she actually scolded the concubine, and said that if you like to buy, you can buy, if you don't buy, don't block her family's business~ The concubine is really angry. ”

Xu Yang shrugged his shoulders undeniably, and said with a helpless expression: "I think what she said makes sense...... You can't just because she's a profiteer, you can't let her raise the price......"

When Liu Mengli heard this, she lost her temper, snorted, and said: "The husband doesn't pity the concubine at all, the concubine is still dead~" After saying that, she wanted to cry a little.

"Hey, my aunt. You said you, buy a long-life lock for our son, and you don't blink at 50,000 times, but now this wool is only five times more expensive, why do you react so much~? Xu Yang was also drunk.

"It's different!" Liu Mengli was a little hysterical.

"Okay, good, it's different, it's different, so what do you say?" Xu Yang asked.

Liu Mengli showed a victor's posture at this time, "For things like rice, cloth, oil, and salt, the prices of Chang'an must be unified, and some profiteers cannot be allowed to raise prices like this." Liu Mengli said with some seriousness.

Xu Yang still looked impatient, but after hearing Liu Mengli's words, he suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization, and pecked Liu Mengli's face with some joy, and said happily: "The lady is really the gospel of the husband, and the husband has thought of a wonderful idea!" ～”……

Li Er's promulgation was imminent, Xu Yang suddenly played again, and petitioned Li Er to establish a business association, as long as the value of more than a certain amount of businessmen, can join it, here will enjoy a series of privileges provided by the government, but the price of these merchants to sell goods must be completely unified, these goods are generally some necessities, will not interfere with the price of those independently developed goods.

This news has attracted widespread attention after it was published, and now in the Tang Dynasty, the identity of the businessmen has long been no longer inferior, and the four words "Shinong Industry and Commerce" are rarely talked about now, and many wealthy businessmen will be envied by people, especially those overseas gold merchants, a boatload of spice trading, a lot of gold and silver, I don't know how many young people are envious.

However, the discrimination against merchants is still in place, merchants are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, merchants are not allowed to wear cashmere sweaters, merchants are not allowed to ride horses, and all kinds of regulations restricting the status of merchants still exist, so to speak, Li Er is still on the side of the peasants in his bones, even if the taxes paid by the merchants have already exceeded the peasants, but Li Er still does not regard it as the foundation of society.

After all, in the eyes of the emperor, the merchants were not engaged in production, but only reselling, while the peasants were the real masters of the country, and the food they threw out of the ground was the foundation that the country needed.

Under such conditions, merchants are still very eager to seek their own status, especially those merchants who have grown up from the bottom, compared with the big families, they lack protection and backing, so they have a very strong desire to improve the social status of merchants.

Xu Yang's article directly hit the hearts of these businessmen, and they began to inquire around, how much is worth to join this business association, once there is the recognition and support of the government, the group of businessmen will really go to the historical stage of the Tang Dynasty......
