Because the goods are transmitted by relay transmission, it seems that it is not much smarter than the previous caravan transportation, but the efficiency is really high. Although it is not obvious for the time being, its powerful momentum far exceeds that of those stragglers.

It can be said that there are only two people in Datang from ancient times to today. That's right, one of them is the emperor Li Longji, who lives in the Daming Palace, and the efficiency of the emperor's organization far exceeds that of Li Siye and Dai Wang, and the difference between the two is like the difference between domestic express mail and commodity logistics. It's a pity that the emperor made such a big noise, just to get fresh lychees from Lingnan for his concubines to eat, wasting resources.

The wall of the trading house had not yet been completed, and all the craftsmen could see from afar Li Siye and Dai Wang taking the lead in the courtyard to burn incense and worship the goods that had been transported. It is not clear who the ancestor of this line of post is, and it is not clear which immortal covers this line, so he has to burn incense and sacrifice it so casually. Because both life and work need a sense of ritual.

Li Siye first held the incense and bowed down, then inserted it into the incense burner, and said loudly: "You are goods, you are money, you are my Spring and Autumn Righteousness, I represent the entire Moxi, and even the entire Longyou, and also represent 24,000 Anxi children, 20,000 Beiting children, and 70,000 Hexi children to worship you here, please bring us a lot of money, so that we can stand firm on this leg." ”

Dai Wang also stepped forward to insert incense to worship, and also secretly chattered, saying that he would earn back all the early investment within this year. Because it took a total of 750,000 yuan, which is an astronomical amount. This year's selling price is 600 guan per bucket, so one stone is 6,000 guan, and they need to transport 125 stone of pepper in a year, and the weight is about seven to eight tons, which is a lot of weight. You must know that the stock of pepper in the family of the first giant greedy yuan in the Tang Dynasty is 800 stones, which is equivalent to more than 60 tons.

In this era, there were no roads, the so-called silk trade routes were only roads for people and livestock, and all long-distance transportation was carried by pack horses and camels, even if it was a pallet cart pulled by livestock, there were some places where it was impossible to go. Each pack horse or camel can carry about one stone, and the total annual traffic on the trade route is not too much.

They began the next step, taking out the bottom slip and taping it against the tracking number attached to the shipping package, which is to prevent the goods from being lost, and then re-weighing them against the stamp and weight on the tracking number to ensure that no one stole it along the way.

Dai Wang instructed the merchant to unload the goods and pile the peppercorns into the storeroom that had been prepared.

Of course, so three stones can not make people have a shocking effect, the biggest advantage of the post relay method is its continuity, three days later, two stones of pepper delivered, and after three days it was two stones, in just half a month, the treasury of the commercial house was piled up with thirteen stones of pepper.

After the pepper arrived at the trading house, Dai Wang immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Kuo, Suo Tong and Xue Yong, who arrived with pack horses and divided the thirteen stones of pepper at once.

Zhang Kuo and they thought that the first half of the year was like this, and the regret and unfinished in their hearts coexisted, but soon a month later, another twenty stones of pepper were delivered. This gave them the pleasure of surprise, you must know that this is just the post station logistics system has just been built, the various links are running in, there are still a lot of problems, the means of transportation are also very incomplete, and there is still a huge room for improvement in the future, but this has made them excited enough, quickly settle the money and move the pepper in the warehouse.

Since pepper trading involves a lot of money, it is not cost-effective to use Tongbao to deliver. Therefore, the trading method prescribed by Li Siye was gold collar and fine cotton silk and cooked cotton silk, and the prices of these two kinds of silk were 1,800 yuan a horse and 2,400 yuan a horse respectively. It is a hard currency that does not depreciate like gold, but it is still not easy to carry compared to one or two pieces of gold, and is used as a leftover material for payment.

Immediately afterwards, the sand grains were also added to the pepper commercial distribution, and for the Mi Ji Trading Company's own industry, Li Siye also did not have any partiality in line with the principle of fairness and justice, and the price was also 600 yuan. But setting conditions to prevent others from selling pepper into Chang'an is actually the biggest partiality for Mi Ji Commercial Bank.

Michagan owns the entire Chang'an market, which is equivalent to having huge wealth. Although there were other pepper and spices trafficked by stragglers in Chang'an today, as Dai Wang controlled the entire trade route to India, the only ones who could finally enter Chang'an were the goods controlled by the Mi Ji Trading Company.

Chang'an, a metropolis with a population of one million, has a population that is not as large as that of the big businessmen who control the markets of several states. But the density of the population, especially of the ruling class, is far greater than that of other regions. Pepper is a non-indispensable luxury condiment, the vast number of poor people cannot afford to eat it, only the rich and the ruling class are qualified to consume them, which highlights the importance of both Chang'an and Luoyang.

So when he was in Chang'an, Li Siye found a solid backer for Michagan as the Yang family.

There is no shortage of wealth chasers with a keen sense of smell, nor is there a shortage of lucky people who have access to opportunities, some people are stubborn in their minds and lose their opportunities, and some people quickly stand at the forefront in their place.

Li Siye Dai Wang no longer needs to deal with those opponents who do not know the times, as long as they hold the symbol of wealth of pepper in their hands, the people who are driven by desire have already taken the initiative to pounce on them and trample the slow front wave to death on the beach.

Indeed, as Dai Wang expected, Zhang Kuo, Suotong and Xue Yong only lasted for half a year when they monopolized the goods, and soon businessmen from Lanzhou and Liangzhou came to seek pepper, and then signed the contract after weighing the benefits.

Next, a wealthy businessman surnamed Zheng in Luoyang came up and signed the sales agency of Luoyang City. Dai Wang didn't know if this Zheng Twelve Lang could keep his dealership in Luoyang City of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but this was not within his concern. Because Li Siye has already confessed, if someone comes to the door and wants to replace others, the only answer for them is that we will never take the initiative to terminate the contract with the supplier, unless he comes to the door in person to ask for the termination.

Of course, there are people who are unwilling to abide by the rules, overestimating that they ran to Yangguan to cut off the beard, or use official connections or borrow the reckless power of the rivers and lakes to put pressure on the Western Regions Commercial Banks. But when they arrived, they knew they were wrong. The local Doulu army secretly colluded with the Western Regions Commercial Bank, and even if they moved out of the name of General XX Assassin Shi XX, the contemptuous smile reflected in the eyes of Dai Wang, the owner of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, under the mask, which also made them lose the confidence to fight.

"I repeat to you, don't try to break the rules in our trading house, all merchants come to us and abide by our rules. There can only be one dealer in an area, and if you want to replace someone else, you have to go outside and think of other ways, and in our case, you can only find teeth all over the place. ”

The Luoyang businessman with a meaty face pressed the case in front of Dai Wang with both hands and asked: "If I kill your so-called agent in Luoyang City, can I replace him?" ”

"Our contracts all say that the agent dies or loses news in the middle of the process, and his immediate family members, such as children, can come over with the contract to continue to perform the contract, and can inherit his father's business relationship."

"And what if I kill his children?"

"You can look at the public contract on the sign at the door, and if the agent and his family do not contact us within a year, they will be deemed to have voluntarily abandoned the relationship, and then someone else will be allowed to replace him."

Luoyang Shangba laughed cruelly: "I will come to you again this time next year, Lao Tzu can afford to wait!" ”
