Chapter 578: Ambition and Price

Shang Ba laughed wildly and left, the light from Dai Wang's mask became extremely cold, this is a manifestation of the appearance of murderous intentions, this person may really be able to do the act of destroying the whole family in order to obtain the allocated resources of pepper.

Although he has lost hope in this world and has an attitude of indifference to everything, the righteous and gentle things in human nature have not been lost. He was ready to order a few swordsmen to secretly follow him and disappear this brutal creature into the desert.

Li Siye was sitting in the inner room at the moment, waiting until their conversation was over, and Shang Ba Yang left. He walked out of the door, put his hand on Dai Wang's shoulder, and said: "There is no need to make a fuss about these things, people's desires are endless, and they are unscrupulous and cruel in plundering the means of production. You should also not measure business by morality, because business is business, and it only talks about rules and not human feelings. Don't do meaningless killing, only do it for practical value, it is worth it. ”

Dai Wang looked up at Li Siye, wondering why he could say such a statement, worthy of being a person in a high position, more transparent than him, and more indifferent and inhumane.

"But some people who don't have to spend money still have to be given for free. For example, send someone to remind Zheng Shishilang who was being targeted, so that he can be prepared in advance to fight with the people who are trying to deal with him. ”

Dai Wang's mask let out a knowing laugh.

At the end of August, Luoyang Zheng Shishilang came to Yangguan again and personally expressed his gratitude to Dai Wang. said that if he hadn't reminded himself in advance, he wouldn't have been fully prepared, maybe he would be the one who entered the Netherworld now.

Li Siye was very concerned about what happened to the Luoyang businessman, and asked tentatively, "What happened to the person who was going to deal with you?" ”

Zheng Shishilang smiled lightly, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who wants to deal with me, I will get it back with ten times the principal and interest." ”

Dai Wang could imagine that under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, two black business families fought each other, and if they were able to bypass the government, the disputes behind them would inevitably be bloody.

Zheng Shishilang won the victory, and he must have paid a certain price.

Dai Liulang's heart was very frightened, a mere pepper agent in Luoyang would fight to the death, he directly monopolized the import of spices from India, how many people's business would be affected, and how many people would be jealous. At present, it is Li Siye, a rising political star, who is covering him, but once Li Siye loses officialdom and falls from the high clouds, then what awaits him is death without a place to be buried.

As a person who has died once, he is not afraid of death, but in the process of creating this logistics chamber of commerce, the members he has developed along the way, they are all innocent lives, and he really doesn't want to implicate these people into the Yellow Springs.

There are two extremely red-eyed ones right now, and they are the two merchants who refused to look at Dai Wang at the Zhang family banquet, such as Jialan Lu Xiu and Liangzhou Gao Gai. They know they've lost their chance, but they're still reluctant and have stronger ambitions.

Losers always have to make excuses for themselves, and their excuse is that they don't look down on the crumbs of the cake that the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce allocates to the agents, and they want the whole piece of cake that Dai Wang has.

These two people do have some official backstage and power, after they found these officials, they learned from their channels that the forces behind Dai Wang's Western Regions Chamber of Commerce are the current Beiting Jiedu envoy, Longyou interview envoy, group herd envoy and recruiting envoy Li Siye, this official is nothing in the court, but in the entire Longyou Dao, it is considered to be the top of the sky. Even An Sishun, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, were unwilling to offend him, let alone make money for a few of their businessmen.

Although one of these two was a Sogdian and the other was a Turgish, because their parents were generals of the imperial court and had been fully integrated into the value system of the Central Plains, they did not look down on the merchants, let alone offend their colleagues for the sake of the two merchants.

It seems that in this world, only Li Siye respects the profession of businessman more.

Lu Xiu and Gao Gai were drinking at home, while discussing the solution, from the current point of view, they could not do Dai Wang in the Tang Dynasty, because he had a big backer behind him. But if you go abroad, once you get to India, everyone is a foreigner, and no one takes advantage of it, so it depends on who is the most ruthless and who is the most capable.

The two hit it off and began to actively plan and explore the possibilities in various aspects.

"Dai Wang's weakest point should be in India, as long as they easily kill the people he supplies after staying in India, and take the resources in India in their hands, Dai Wang will break the chain."

"Once he breaks the chain, he loses the ability to make money, and what is the difference between a businessman who can't make money for an official and a dog who has a broken backbone. The Longyou interviewer Dr. Li would definitely blame him for all this. At this time, it is time for us to appear, these officials want money, and he will not care who is a dog for them. We took the initiative to put forward more favorable conditions to Dr. Li, even if he took 80%, we took 20%. As long as we can replace Dai Wang, we will get the right to use all the post stations in the west of the city, and we can do it like him, and then the pepper and spices of the whole of India will be in our hands, even if it is eighty-two percent of the profits in hand, we will make a fucking profit! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

The two businessmen who imagined the future laughed proudly, and took advantage of the strength of the wine and pride, picked up the two orchids who accompanied the wine and rushed into the partition room, making their due contribution to the great integration of the nation.

Lu Xiu and Gao Gai prepared a caravan of more than 100 people, there were not many goods in this caravan, and there were many long and short knives of all kinds. There were not a few traders in this caravan, all of them were bandits, straw bandits, swordsmen, and catchers who had been heavily invited from the Ganliang Road, and they would enter India as merchants, and then find the starting point for Dai Wang's shipment from India. At this time, it is time to speak violently, pounce and slash, slash all his people, and occupy all his strongholds.

In order to avoid people's eyes, they deliberately bypassed Yangguan and set off from Yumen Pass, from Yanqi to Qiuzi, and then changed the city and Shule, and circled a large semicircle, passing through more than a dozen checkpoints along the way.

The caravans to the Western Regions are uneven, most of the caravans employ swordsmen, due to the long journey, it is normal for each person to have a weapon in his hand, and the person who dares to do business is equivalent to a person who dares to play with his head on the waist of his pants, so he didn't care about the past checkpoints, and he couldn't imagine that so many people went to India to fight with weapons.

They crossed the Green Mountains and descended from the Hindu Kulun Pass to India, where they encountered an avalanche and lost two men. The Hindu Kulen Pass was not a safe route, and they took a long detour, and they did so to avoid encountering the Daiwang caravan.

Lu Xiu and Gao Gai's caravan entered the territory of India and walked south without stopping, becoming more and more shocked. They could see a post every thirty miles, and each post station had a post chief and a soldier. The most outrageous thing is that these post stations are not the handiwork of Indians at all, and it can be seen from the architectural style that they were made by the Tang people, and the government will naturally not be idle enough to build post stations for other countries, and the only one who has the ability to do so may be Dai Wang.

For the first time, they felt Dai Wang's strong financial resources and his ambition, and they could build a post station leading to the Tang Dynasty in India, thousands of miles away, which was something that ordinary people did not dare to think about or dare to do. It's no wonder that Li Siye, the envoy of the Beiting Festival and the envoy of Longyou, would rely so much on a big businessman, this person is a great talent!

It is a pity that their desire outweighed their ability, and instead of retreating, they had a greater ambition in their hearts, and even started from the pepper collection and hoarding point, and violently fought for this huge trade route.
