Section 37 Fanatical Tang Dynasty Merchants II
Li Yuanxing's amount of wine is not haode people like this wine. There is only one reason, that is, it is light and the degree is low.
"Zheng He!" Li Yuanxing put it on the chopsticks and snorted softly, Zheng He immediately understood, and made a gesture to the little eunuch, who was holding a tray, on which was placed a bottle of wine brought by Li Yuanxing from modern times, an authentic white porcelain bottle of fifteen-year-old Moutai.
"This wine king has brought four bottles this time, and my brother may not have drunk it yet. Let's taste it today and get down to business. Li Yuanxing nodded after speaking,
Zheng He personally took a two-dollar wine glass from the tray and poured it for Gao Jian.
As for the merchants, they were not yet qualified, and the little eunuch knelt down to thank them.
There is not much wine, just a bottle. There are a lot of businessmen who come, and they will be the first, and the identity of the old man will naturally have a penny to taste, and those with low status will be good if they can have half a penny.
The hall on the second floor of this Yanguilou is not small, but the aroma of wine is extremely strong.
All the merchants knelt down and thanked!
Gao Jian whispered at this time: "The saint hasn't drunk it yet, it's not polite for me to drink it!" ”
"It's okay, my brother doesn't care about that. has been sent to the palace, thinking that my brother is still in the court at this time, he will drink it at noon, and drink it with peace of mind. Li Yuanxing comforted Gao Jian.
Gao Jian hadn't drunk it yet, but he noticed that the merchant had a strange expression. Smelled the wine in front of him again, and saluted in the direction of the palace before taking a sip, calling for immortal wine.
When the merchants heard Gao Jian's evaluation, they shouted in unison about immortal wine.
Li Yuanxing stood up at this time, but waved his hand to signal the merchants: "Sit down, this king has summoned you." It is also the grace of the saints, this king said a sentence in Zhuangzi, this king in the name of the king of Qin as a guarantee, to let those craftsmen have a title, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, merchants are cheaper than workers, but you have money in your hands, better than craftsmen. So the craftsmen are really one level lower than you. ”
Many of the businessmen began to sweat, they didn't know what Li Yuanxing wanted to do, and they were very nervous.
Li Yuanxing said again: "This king also promised today to give you a chance to compete for the title!" ”
The merchants are even more afraid, this is not to ask them to donate money!
"You have a chamber of commerce, let's talk about silk first, and silk was sold to foreign countries during the Han Dynasty. Do you merchants, know what the price of silk was in the Roman Empire, even in those foreign lands tens of thousands of miles away? If you know, you can boldly say it! ”
There are really businessmen coming out at the moment.
"If you go back to Your Highness, the price of selling silk to foreign merchants is two to four yuan per horse of high-grade ordinary silk, and if you want to come to foreign merchants to travel thousands of miles, there will be ten times and a hundred times the profit."
"Ten times, haha! A hundredfold, haha! Li Yuanxing daxiao, the laughing businessmen were even more nervous.
Li Yuanxing slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground: "This king tells you that it is twice the price." Twice the weight, twice as much gold as a piece of silk. This king doesn't know how many horses there are in a pound of silk, you can calculate it yourself, how much is two pounds of gold! Calculate! Now count it for this king, and make it clear! ”
In fact, Li Yuanxing weighed each piece of silk, and the weight of each piece of silk is eight to ten kilograms according to modern times.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the price of gold was about 20 yuan per two pieces of gold, which was 20,000 copper coins. Even if it is less, there are 15,000 copper coins.
And then according to the weight, the price in Rome is a few million copper coins.
The businessman of Datang was stupid after calculating it in his heart, this amount is too huge, and the other party is not only a hundred times more profitable.
"I killed a few other days, and I killed a couple of foreign merchants, you know why. I tell you, this king is angry! ”
Li Yuanxing said that he had killed someone, but in fact, he had time to kill people, and even if he had time, he didn't have the guts.
But with this sentence, all the frightened businessmen left their seats and knelt on the ground.
"Do you know that this king weishenme kills? For the staff of the foreign merchants were hollow, and there were silkworm eggs in them. The king is angry, who gave such a thing to a foreign merchant, and the king wants to kill people. The king's guards said they would kill his whole family. Li Yuanxing had an angry expression, and the frightened businessmen were all trembling.
Gao Jian also stood up at this time: "This official thinks that His Royal Highness King Qin is still merciful, and he should punish the nine clans!" ”
The businessman was trembling, because Gao Jian's sentence of punishing the Nine Clans was too terrible!
"Get up!" Li Yuanxing roared.
The merchant was stunned, and several of the timid ones were frightened.
Li Yuanxing's tone slowed down: "This king is not here to ask for guilt this time, so don't be too afraid." If someone needs to change clothes, go immediately, Zheng He will make a cup of tea for the king, and also give a cup to the tall man. ”
Zheng He not only went to make tea, but also asked people to drag down those who needed to change clothes, and these businessmen were really weak.
"No, a piece of silk in Rome is worth three thousand. Of course, foreign businessmen have also worked hard, after all, it takes more than a year to travel thousands of miles, and it is necessary to earn some money. ”
"I'm waiting for death!" Li Quandao of the Brocade Silk Chamber of Commerce knelt down in front of Li Yuanxing again, and all the silk merchants he made also knelt down.
"Arise, this king has called you to take counsel on how to put this money in our pockets. This we, naturally saints, Datang, and you hard-working businessmen, naturally have to give some hard-earned money to the Sannongs. You can understand the king's painstaking efforts! "Li Yuanxing just hit the big stick, scared the businessmen, this will talk about making money, and the natural effect is excellent.
The shrewd businessmen who have been in the business for many years are not very afraid, because Li Yuanxing also drank immortal wine for everyone, and if he really wants to kill him, there is no need to give immortal wine.
Li Huishou was the first to say: "Your Highness is wise, this money is naturally left in Datang." ”
Merchants are going crazy, ten times the profit can make them take risks, a hundred times the profit can make them desperate, and a thousand times the profit can dare to rebel. Now that this is a thousandfold of profit is there, the fear in the hearts of the merchants is completely gone, and there is only fanaticism next.
Li Yuanxing sat back again: "The king's first order, silkworms are the top secret of Datang, you have a good look at Datang." It's like looking at your own treasury. If the king knew that the foreign merchant got the secret again, even if it was stolen, the king would not be relentless. ”
"His Royal Highness King Qin, rest assured, the villains will keep this secret when they die."
"Good, good!" Li Yuanxing nodded.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Yuanxing's expression relaxed a lot: "This king will be a saint and establish the Datang Foreign Commerce Division." In the future, the price of goods sold to foreign merchants will be set by the Department of Commerce, which will leave two places for each of your chambers of commerce, without grades, and assist the Department of Commerce in doing a good job of making money. ”
"King Qin is wise!"
"The first goods are silk, and the standards are set and the prices are uniform. Unified foreign trade tax. Among the chambers of commerce, the silk quality is the most haode three, and the title is royal! Just like you, Li Huishou, Huzhou Qingyuan Silk Workshop, can be named Tang Royal Qingyuan Silk. But Li Hui should not be happy first, you have to fight for this qualification, there is no privilege, this name is evaluated once every three years! ”
"King Qin is wise!"
"There are seven more, which sell to foreign merchants with a lot of goods, good goods, and high taxes. Named, Tang Dynasty. A big review every three years. Among them, the first place can get the title of a county baron, and the first three places for three consecutive years can be hereditary and promoted. ”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, everyone shouted again: "King Qin is wise!" ”
"The detailed constitution of the Brocade Chamber of Commerce will be discussed internally, and Lord Gao Jian will give you a final decision here. This king has one principle, the silk of the Tang Dynasty is the only one in the world, the silk of the Tang Dynasty is gold, and the silk of the Tang Dynasty will exchange foreign treasures, gold and silver, copper coins, and any valuable things for the Tang Dynasty. ”
"King Qin is wise!"
Li Yuanxing is very satisfied with this result, Gao Jian has already stayed, this King of Qin is not only wise, this is a genius from heaven.
Li Yuanxing sat down and approached Gao Jian: "Master Gao should be more jihua, this king thinks that one million guan a year should be the start, and you must earn more." ”
"Yes! It's bound to be more than a million! Gao Jianxin said that King Qin still seems to underestimate the fanaticism of these merchants and their love for money. Such profits, such opportunities, as long as they are well managed. Datang's annual treasury of millions is really a small amount of money, and King Qin must not know how many pieces of silk Datang sells every year.
Gao Jian's goal is that Datang will earn three million yuan a year only by selling silk to foreign countries.
As for keeping the silk secret, as long as you dare to pick up the knife, plus the merchant knows the importance of this secrecy. Then it's definitely not a problem.
The merchants of the Brocade Chamber of Commerce have gone crazy.
Li Yuanxing stood up again, it was time for him to leave, and the next thing was some negotiation between Gao Jian and the businessman. After getting up, Li Yuanxing said again: "Mian silk is the first, who is next?" Whether it's porcelain, tea, or something else, this king is looking forward to it! ”
King Qin is wise!
In the midst of a shout, Li Yuanxing left with small square steps.
When Li Yuanxing returned to the Qin Palace, he tasted tea and asked the kitchen to make a few small dishes again, the shock that Li Yuanxing brought to Datang had just begun.
The first shock is to prevent fire, theft, and foreign countries.
Even the junior in the restaurant knows that don't just tell outsiders about Datang, if you take that little reward, you will lose the face of Datang, and the serious thing is that you accidentally tell any secrets, and it is impossible for ordinary people to say such words as killing the whole family, but if you say it in the mouth of King Qin of Datang, it must be true.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the family gate valve who received the news also attached great importance to it, and gave a strict order, and the servants violated the rules of King Qin and beat them to death directly. Ordinary clansmen give poisoned wine, and even important clansmen have to be severely punished.
Li Yuanxing didn't expect that his order would even tremble in shock!
