"Recently, in Chang'an City, people have been enthusiastically donating, everyone should have seen it, right?"

Hearing Tang Ping's question, Liu Fatzi below was the first to say: "Ping Guogong rest assured, we and other businessmen are naturally unwilling, so we will naturally donate a large amount of money." ”

Tang Ping shook his head and said, "I invited everyone to come today, not to discuss the matter of asking everyone to donate. ”

"Not a donation?" The people below looked at each other suspiciously, some of these businessmen had already donated, and when they heard Tang Ping's invitation, they couldn't help but come, so they were all ready to donate again, but they didn't expect Tang Ping to say that they didn't want everyone to donate.

"Yes, it's not a matter of donations, this time I invite everyone to come, or to discuss the matter of everyone forming a joint caravan to make money."

Hearing that making money, everyone's eyes lit up, businessmen, few people can refuse to make money.

"Or do you want to follow the army to buy the spoils of war?" Liu Fatzi asked, "Then I must have a share!" ”

The army of the Tang Dynasty did not have all the spoils to be returned to the public, they were basically based on a unit, and after the battle, the spoils were distributed by the superiors according to the approximate battle situation.

This can also be regarded as an additional benefit for the Datang soldiers, and it can also make them more courageous when fighting.

It turned out that Tang Ping had done this, formed a joint caravan, and after the Tang army finished the battle, he directly purchased the spoils they had captured from the soldiers.

Soldiers don't have to fight with heavy loot, just wait to return to Datang and go to the Chamber of Commerce to get vouchers to receive money.

If they are unfortunately sacrificed, the Tang Dynasty government will also give the vouchers of the sacrificed soldiers to sell some loot along the way to their families, and let their families receive the money.

This reduces the burden on the soldiers and the risk of losing the loot, while the caravan will be purchased on the spot at a price lower than the market price, and after the quantity is large, the profit will be quite large.

"That's right." Tang Ping slapped an Arab scimitar on the table: "You can take a look, this is a weapon used by the Arabs, I dare to say that it is the weapon second only to our Datang special steel in the world, this kind of weapon is not looked down upon by our Datang soldiers, but it is a treasure in the surrounding countries." ”

Someone took it down and looked at each other, and the pattern of this Damascus steel was very beautiful.

They don't know much about weapons, they only know that Datang's special steel weapons are the most powerful, but no one can buy that thing, and they don't dare to do that business.

But since Ping Guogong said that this is the second best, it must be the second best.

The Arabs have hundreds of thousands of troops, how many of these weapons do they have? Even if there will be some losses in battle, even if it is only a fraction, it is still tens of thousands of such blades.

"Ping Guogong, I want to sign up for this joint caravan!"

"I signed up too, it's been a long time since I've had such an opportunity!"

The merchants below were all excited, there had been no such opportunity to make a fortune for a long time, and it really made sense that the cannon sounded gold ten thousand taels.

This business was only done by the merchants, because the soldiers negotiated with the caravans how much a trophy was sold, and there was competition between the caravans, and the soldiers would choose to sell to the chamber of commerce with the highest bidder.

The price is determined by the market, and there is no need to be afraid of these merchants jointly lowering the price, because there are still Tang Merchant Houses and the Royal Chamber of Commerce, if the price of these chambers of commerce is too low, the Tang Merchant House will raise the price to buy, so that those chambers of commerce will only run in vain.

Seeing these businessmen so active, Tang Ping smiled and said, "Okay, okay, in fact, this is just a small head, and there is a bigger business." ”

"There's bigger business?" Some of the businessmen were stunned.

"Shopkeeper Tang, don't sell Guanzi, tell everyone quickly!" Liu Fatzi said: "This is nearly 100,000 excellent weapons, you yourself say that arms make money, can there be more profitable than this?" ”

"Hehe, of course." Tang Ping asked them: "How is our Datang New Town on Aozhou Road?" ”

Hearing Tang Ping ask, many people regretted and said: "At that time, you said that you would open some shops to us, but we were short-sighted, and we thought that what kind of money could be made in a place where birds don't?" As a result, the people who went to open shops over there made a lot of money! ”

Now there are more and more people going to Datang New Town on Aozhou Road, and the population size has gradually surpassed that of many cities in Datang.

As soon as there are more people, the market will be bigger, not to mention who are the people there?

Some of them are high-paid workers from Datang, and some are indigenous miners from Australia.

The Tang government did not squeeze the indigenous miners in Australia, and their mining treatment was still quite good, so it can be said that the people in Ozhou Road are relatively rich people.

Especially those indigenous miners in Ozhou Road, after making money, they feel good about everything when they look at Datang's goods, so isn't the money used to buy things?

Isn't that a big buy, buy, buy?

The market is big and the consumption power is strong, can you not make money by opening a shop over there?

It's a pity that the commercial street of Datang New Town is so big, and it has long been crowded with all kinds of shops.

"So Ping Guogong plans to open the shops on Oshu Road again?" A businessman asked excitedly.

"It's not."

Tang Ping's words extinguished the flame of their hope, but the next sentence made these businessmen orgasm.

"This time, I'm going to build a few more new towns like that." Tang Ping said: "And believe me, those new cities will not be worse than those of Ozhou Road in the future, and will even surpass them." ”

This time he was going to fight with the Arabs, and Li Shimin did not plan to just defeat the Arab army in Tianzhu, but directly put the ultimate goal on their homeland.

What is the richest indigenous region in the Arab region?

People in this era may not know, but can Tang Ping not know?

That's the place that the rich guy is talking about.

In the area controlled by Datang now, it is almost impossible to extract crude oil with the current technology, so it is impossible to develop it.

But how easy is crude oil extraction in the Arab region? It can even be said that in some places you put a tube in the ground, he can suddenly pump oil out of the ground to give you oil.

Once the Tang Dynasty defeated the Arab Empire, the exploitation and development of crude oil would inevitably be put on the agenda immediately.

The establishment of cities in the Arab region was also an inevitable consequence.

"Several!" The wealthy businessmen of the Tang Dynasty have keenly captured this keyword.

"Will there be so many of them?" Fat Liu asked with some confusion.

Cities don't look at the number, they look at the size of the population, no matter how big the city is, if it's the same as a ghost town, what's the use?

"Of course, in the future, it will become the center of the world's energy, and one of the most important energy minerals will be extracted from there."
