Chapter 645: The Maritime Silk Road
After explaining the next development policy to Li Shimin, Li Hao did not stay in Chang'an for a long time, but directly took a group of subordinates and returned to the Li kingdom by car.
Years of conquest have put a huge burden on the finances of both countries, and now they need to make a lot of money to fill the gap.
Li Shimin sat alone in the imperial study, and his head kept echoing the words that Li Hao had said when he left.
"In January, I will start the Maritime Silk Road Project. At that time, the nautical chart will be drawn and handed over to the major ship merchants in Suzhou. In this month, try to accumulate as much hard currency as possible, and prepare as much as you can. How much money we can make this time depends on this month's preparation! ”
"Son-in-law, see father!" Vaguely, a voice woke up the pensive Li Shimin.
Li Mingda was wearing a bright red suit, standing in front of Li Shimin pretty.
Li Shimin looked at his daughter in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Unconsciously, my little son is already so big!" ”
Li Mingda was stunned: "Why did my father suddenly talk about this?" ”
Li Shiming smiled slightly, shouted his daughter to his side, and stretched out his big hand to caress the top of Li Mingda's head: "I'm just sighing, there are talents from all generations of the country, and each has led the way for a hundred years." Father is really old compared to you! ”
"Why did my father say this, you are still young!" Li Mingda grinned and ran behind Li Shiming to squeeze his shoulders for him.
Li Shiming sighed: "Little son, don't comfort your father, a hundred years of life is like a white horse, you can't accept the old man!" When Datang was hit by a once-in-a-century snowstorm, I saw that Li Hao, a stinky boy, was extraordinary. But looking back on only a few years, he has grown to this point! Today, I realized that he had already calculated today's changes when he took over the mess of the Linghui Army! Plotting thousands of miles is simply tailor-made for him! ”
"Brother Li has come up with any good ideas to solve the current dilemma?" Li Mingda's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked.
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and pointed to the chart on the table: "Look, this is your big brother Li's next step!" ”
"Nautical charts? These red lines...... Is it a ship-branch trade route? Li Mingda carefully looked at the roads outlined in red lines on the chart, all of which pointed to the national capital that had business contacts with Datang before.
Li Shimin smiled with relief, Li Mingda was really smart and clever, and he actually saw through Li Hao's mind at a glance. These two people have a good heart, and they are a natural pair

。 Now that Li Mingda has grown up, it may be time to marry her and Li Hao.
Li Shimin arrived here first, and shook his head helplessly: "Little son, my father called you here today for this matter!" Over the years, the Li Kingdom and my Tang Dynasty have been fighting for years, and the treasury is about to be emptied, and a fund is urgently needed to replenish it. Li Hao has returned to the Li Kingdom to start planning, we must also seize the opportunity and make a good profit! ”
Speaking of business, Li Mingda immediately became serious: "What does my father mean, let me go to Sister Li Ziyin and ask her to help?" ”
"Well, the Li family and the Lu family are now the leading bosses in the Datang business world, my identity is too special, many eyes are staring at me, it's not easy to come forward, I need you to contact them!"
"I understand my father, just leave this matter to my daughter!" Li Mingda said confidently.
"Remember, this matter is out of Li Ziyin, and it must not be spread outside, as for whether to join forces with the Lu family, it all depends on Li Ziyin, and she has more experience than us in doing business!"
"Okay!"
Li Mingda nodded solemnly, and then he was about to leave the imperial study and start planning to contact Li Ziyin.
Suddenly, Li Shimin called out to her: "Little son, if it were you, what do you think Li Hao would prepare to sell to these countries this time?" ”
At the same time, the capital of the Li Kingdom.
Li Hao called Wan'er and Li Zhong to his study and said solemnly.
"Within a month, we will pour everything we have and buy a large number of tea, silk, and ceramics, and whether our Li Kingdom can recover as soon as possible depends on this time!"
After listening to Li Hao's words, Wan'er showed a slightly surprised look on her face.
"Young Master, you have been out of business for many years, how can you be so clear about what these countries like us?"
Since he solved the five surnames and seven wangs, Li Hao has devoted himself to the Linghui Army, and all the business matters have been handed over to Wan'er and Li Zhong, and he has never taken care of the business of the Silk Road at all. There are more than 1,000 kinds of goods sold abroad in the Central Plains, how can he know that the three commodities of silk, tea and ceramics are the best?
Li Hao smiled and said nothing, the reason why the Eight-Nation Coalition had to pry open the door to China was because these three commodities of Huaxia were sold too well abroad, and they made a lot of money to make them red. This knowledge was written in junior high school history textbooks, how could Li Hao forget it?
"None of this matters, in short, the acquisition of goods
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'll leave it to you, and in a month's time, I'm going to see a full stock of goods. ”
"It's the young master, Wan'er understands!"
Wan'er has always trusted Li Hao's decision unconditionally, and she stopped talking nonsense at the moment and immediately agreed.
Li Zhong also bowed to Li Hao and left the room quickly.
Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
After so many years of fighting in the south and the north, even if he is as strong as Li Hao, he is still a little tired after all.
Wan'er didn't say a word, added a cup of hot tea for Li Hao, and then came behind him and massaged his head.
"Young master, this trade, you ......"
The words are not finished, but the intention is clear.
Li Hao closed his eyes and enjoyed Wan'er's gentle massage. Although she is now the number one person in charge of commerce and trade in the Li Kingdom, and she will be shocked by the world, but in front of Li Hao, Wan'er is still as good as in the past, a caring little maid.
"Wan'er has also grown up, and she can see through my mind at a glance. That's right, I have to go this time for overseas trade! ”
"Trade routes are often slowly explored through generations of people, and for the first time, the trade routes are so far away from the passage, and it is really not possible to change others!" Wan'er nodded understandingly: "But young master, you just came back from the battle, and you haven't had a good rest for a while, and you have to go overseas again, bumpy sailing, be careful that your body is tired!" ”
Li Hao smiled bitterly: "Your young master is tired!" The so-called strength is stronger than others, if you want to make a name for yourself in this world, how can you do it without suffering a little? ”
"The young master's decision, Wan'er has never said a word of objection, but this time for foreign trade, the young master must take Wan'er with him!"
Li Hao was stunned: "The road is difficult, what are you going to do with a girl's family?" ”
"It's because of the long way that Wan'er is going!" Wan'er said with a tough attitude: "The young master once said that it is not suitable for Wan'er to fight on the battlefield, so Wan'er will listen to the young master and wait for you to return at home." But now it's a running business, it's Wan'er's special, this time the young master can't find a reason to put Wan'er away! ”
"But this Li Kingdom ......"
"The trade in the kingdom, Wan'er has already explained, there will be no problems!"
Without waiting for Li Hao to finish speaking, Wan'er preemptively said.
Li Hao opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Looking at Wan'er's firm eyes, there was a warmth in his heart, and he nodded gently: "Okay, this time the young master will take you with me!" ”
