Chapter 298: The Silk Road
"It sounds like a good idea, and I don't know if anyone will try it, but you can try it anyway. Helian Rui thought about it and replied decisively.
Anyway, it's a business, you need to try, but you can't lose your integrity, business is the first place, once you lose your integrity, the people around you won't take them seriously, and they will fall into the ground.
"In fact, these successful methods are based on the fact that you have all kinds of ingredients, and as far as I know, the ingredients of your enlightenment are really a little small.
So you should also have a farm, to reduce the cost of operation, I suggest you still plant the plants you need in the farm.
Don't worry, I can provide you with the seeds, provided you have to give me money, you know I need money urgently, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The seeds I provide you can be said to be something that is almost impossible on this road, once you open the fairy river and become the crab eater, it will be easy to make a lot of money when the time comes.
And you can also give advice to Your Majesty because of this, and get the name of the Imperial Merchant.
Once you have the plaque given by the emperor, you think that it will not be a problem to make money every day, and many small merchants and vendors will also come here, and then you will be the general agent, and they will be the wholesaler, then you will earn more money.
I don't know if you accept my proposal? "Although you, Lin Qianxun, have never done business, you have seen many people doing business.
She also knows some business models, and thinks that since she wants to do business for a long time, it is better to try boldly.
"It's a good idea, it's true that the transportation cost is too high now, and the ingredients I need take ten days and half a month, or even half a year, and sometimes even half a year.
If you plant the seeds you need on your own farm, you can save both labor costs and transportation costs, and you can avoid the possibility of breakdowns on the road.
Since this is the case, I also promise, rest assured that the two of us are friends, and between the money, I will definitely not miss you.
If I get the name of the imperial merchant because of this matter, I will add 20% of the profit to you at that time.
We help each other and grow each other. Helian Rui thought that this was the best proposal, and planted all the suitable seeds on his own farm, and the rest of the special treasures could be transported by transport, and they could make a profit anyway.
"I don't know if you have the idea of building a caravan, I see that you have a big business and have a lot of friends, if you can't do it, you can build two caravans, one is by land and the other is by sea, once these two are started, then you will also make a lot of money."
Rare species from other countries will be transported to our country, and things from our country can also be transported to various places, speaking of which, our hometown is now also implementing such a transportation policy.
It is called the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road, and the Land Silk Road began in the park more than 2,000 years ago.
The Silk Road usually refers to the trade routes of northern Eurasia, in contrast to the Ancient Tea Horse Route in the south.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian and the Eastern Han Dynasty opened up a land passage in the Western Regions, starting from Chang'an (now Xi'an) and Luoyang, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, to Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the Mediterranean countries.
This road was also known as the "Land Silk Road" to distinguish it from the other two transportation routes that would later bear the name "Silk Road".
Silk products were the most influential among the goods transported west by this road, hence the name.
Its basic direction was set in the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, including three routes: the South, the Middle and the North.
The Silk Road in a broad sense refers to the general term for long-distance commercial trade and cultural exchange routes that have been formed since antiquity and spread throughout Eurasia and even North and East Africa.
In addition to the above-mentioned routes, the Steppe Silk Road, which was formed around the fifth century BC, the Sea Silk Road, which was formed in the early Middle Ages and played a huge role in the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Silk Road, which appeared at the same time as the Northwest Silk Road and replaced the Northwest Silk Road as a road communication route in the early Song Dynasty.
Although the Silk Road is a product of the joint economic and trade development of countries along the route, many people believe that China's Zhang Qian opened up a new era of Sino-foreign exchanges by connecting the Western Regions twice. And successfully lifted the last bead curtain between the East and the West.
Since then, this route has been stepped out as a "national highway", and envoys, merchants, and missionaries from various countries have been coming and going along the road opened by Zhang Qian.
From princes and nobles to beggars and prisoners, they have all left their footprints on this road.
This east-west route closely links the Central Plains and the Western Regions with Arabia and the Persian Gulf.
After centuries of continuous efforts, the Silk Road stretched westward to the Mediterranean. In a broad sense, the eastern section of the Silk Road has reached Korea and Japan, and the western section has reached France.
It can also reach Italy and Egypt by sea, and has become a friendship road for economic and cultural exchanges between Asia, Europe and Africa.
And I know you've been to all kinds of places, caravans, dart games, and tea horse trails, or land and sea.
Once the goods of various countries are circulated, it will enrich people's daily lives, not to mention you merchants, and unite with other merchants to learn their advanced technology and improve your craft.
In the future, if there is competition, there will be innovation, and after innovation, there will be things in deeper fields.
The prosperity of the people in our hometown is because of this great man of Zhang Qian many years ago.
Later, when it came to the Ming Dynasty, there was another Zheng He, when the country was rich and strong, and the sea route was also very smooth.
He took the country's silk, tea, porcelain, etc., to various countries.
In fact, his purpose is not as clear as Zhang Qian's, just to show off the national prestige.
Later there was a foreigner, Marco Polo, who recorded in his travelogue that the Orient was full of gold.
It also aroused the yearning and longing of many Westerners, and later because of some special reasons at some moments, the sea was rampant, and the country implemented a closed country.
From now on, the great powers of the East, which were ahead of other countries, gradually became in decline.
It seems that a young and vigorous young man has suddenly stepped into old age.
Except for the faintness, it was completely rotten, and later the people were oppressed and invaded by other powers.
Almost reduced to slavery, our ancestors went through decades of struggle and had a rich life that you can't imagine in modern times.
Therefore, people cannot rest on their laurels, they cannot work behind closed doors, and I think that for a country to become thoroughly strong, it not only needs to have strong military strength, but also needs to have technology and money.
If you don't want to be beaten passively, you have to fight back, but if you want to defend yourself, you have to be open-minded.
Otherwise, even if you are powerful beyond the reach of others in a hundred years, those small countries will give up resisting, and they will innovate and learn to invent.
Gradually, a large country will be eroded, and I have this idea, and I am going to build a caravan to be responsible for the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road.
Although I need some money in the early stage, I am not afraid, I want to bring the advanced technology of other countries back to Dayu, and finally improve the lives of the people.
This is the main purpose of the caravan I created, I will send the strongest soldiers away, since you are also a businessman, it is better to join in the share. Lin Qianxun's expression looked very calm in the two of them, and she heard grief from her words, self-proclaimed and resisted.
"Qianqian, I support this decision, how many people do you need, and what kind of money can you come out of the treasury?" Helian Man was thrilled when he heard this, he was the emperor of a country, and he naturally hoped that his country would become stronger and stronger under his rule, what Lin Qianxun said must have been experienced in their hometown, and once they experienced it and gained more things, she would encourage herself like this.
"Okay, I really want to discuss this matter with you, you see that these dark guards around me are all very skilled, and their abilities are beyond your imagination.
After that, you will draw out a part of the people to form a caravan, divide it into two groups, and it will also build you a big ship and form the strongest team, and then Dayu will become the strongest country in this land.
Maybe when you are forty years old or know the destiny of heaven, you can meet a great Yu who is congratulated by all nations.
The prosperous age can be described by such verses.
The ears are full of sheng songs and dazzling, and the buildings are full of pearls and cui to win Wu Wa.
Because I know the fairy cave on the sea, it is only like a rich family in the world.
Embroidered households gather red candle market at night, and the dancing clothes are sunny and the sky is blue.
But the feast is sorrowful, and the head of the Yangtze River is half slanted.
You may not imagine Europeans with high noses and deep eye sockets of all colors, Africans with the same color as Kunnu, and people with the same color as us.
When the time comes, they will bring all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, as well as the beauties and products of the country, to congratulate them.
At that time, you will be the proudest emperor.
Lin Qianxun has not personally seen the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but he understands from the murals in the history books that it was incomparable to all dynasties at that time.
But it is not as prosperous and rich as modern times, but if such a grand goal is achieved in Dayu, then it will not be in vain.
"I listen to you, whatever you say, what you want to do, I won't stop you at all, and I am the most assured of the people you choose, what do you want to do? Let go of your hands and feet, and I also hope to see our prosperity at the age when I know the destiny of heaven. Helian Man was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he was happy on weekdays, and Lin Qianxun said that he was envious.
At this moment, I can't wait to put on my wings and soar on this continent, see other countries, see their customs and customs, and then learn advanced technology to strengthen my country.
"It seems that our Majesty has lost a pearl, otherwise, Daqi should also be such a prosperous scene." Helian Rui didn't know why he felt a little sour in his heart.
