Chapter 325: Waiting for the Price to Sell
This time, the Taiyuan Wang family was extremely well prepared for the exchange of drinks.
The men who escorted the caravan alone brought hundreds of people, and all of them were stubborn and stubborn, all of them elite veterans who had retired from the battlefield. This is quite exaggerated for the size of the caravan.
With such a big battle, there are naturally a lot of goods escorted.
There are nearly 100 truckloads of salt!
They are rushing to collect all the Zhenguan ten springs in the hands of Tubo!
But these people suddenly changed their tune......
Wang Ping was a little anxious.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency? You Zan Puke have all agreed, you want to do business with my Taiyuan Wang clan, can you make decisions for him as an envoy? ”
As the leader of the Wang caravan, Wang Ping has seen the world, and of course he knows very well that this matter can only be decided by Songtsen Gampo, the Zampu.
The boss of the mission in front of him, although he looked extraordinary, but Lu Dongzan was not the master of Tubo after all, how could what he said count?
was yelled at by him, and Lu Dongzan was not angry.
"Don't worry, listen slowly."
Lu Dongzan soothed:
"These drinks were just shipped from Chang'an, and you must know this very well."
"Originally, I wanted to buy this Zhenguan ten spring from the Tang Dynasty, the main purpose was not to exchange goods with you, the wine is in hand, it is already so close to Luo, of course, as an envoy, I want to bring it back to Zampu and the nobles of the royal court to taste."
"If you think about it, if it were you, would you just sell all the drinks?"
Wang Ping was dumbfounded for a while.
It is true that the identity of the envoy cannot be the master of the Tubo royal court, but there is nothing wrong with Lu Dongzan's words.
After all, he bought drinks for his master, and insisted that people sell them all to him, so Lu Dongzan would definitely not be able to pay the difference when he went back.
After a moment of silence, Wang Ping still shook his head.
"Your Excellency, I can understand that you want to bring the drinks back to pay for the errand, but there is no need to take half of them away."
"There are at least a few hundred bottles of alcohol here, and you can bring dozens of bottles...... Is it necessary to bring so much back! ”
He still wants to try his best to get more money for himself.
Lu Dongzan did not move like a mountain, still smiling.
"In addition to Kai Zampu, there are many nobles in the royal court who have already heard of the name of Zhenguan Shichun, and this wine has spread in Luo."
"You don't think that I only have a few dozen nobles in Tibet, do you?"
"I have traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Luo a lot of times, and I have heard that the Han people have a saying that it is good to not suffer from widowhood but unevenness. With only a few dozen bottles to go back, how are they going to be distributed next, don't you say? ”
He is worthy of being an envoy.
Lu Dongzan's words made Wang Ping speechless!
The caravan had been in Shanzhou for two or three months, and he had a basic understanding of the situation in Tibet and the mission.
The person in front of him, although he is now just an ordinary mission leader, is actually extremely powerful in Tibet, and Lu Dongzan himself is also very trusted by Songtsen Gampo.
It is not impossible to buy and sell by force, write a letter to the Tubo royal court, and force Songtsen Gampo to trade with him, and the possibility of success is definitely not small.
But that's it...... The matter was done in a desperate way, and it became a one-shot deal.
Through the letter from Chang'an, Wang Ping also knew that many family caravans were rushing here, so he wanted to hurry over and get a piece of the pie.
If he offends Lu Dongzan, the middleman, to death, and the family wants to stand out from so many competitors in the future, it will greatly increase the difficulty of the game!
Long.
Wang Ping sighed and nodded helplessly in agreement.
"Okay...... We are all doing things for the Lord's family, understanding each other, and I agreed to this half-for-half-for-all. ”
Lu Dongzan immediately laughed kindly, and threw his hand at him again and again.
"Thank you for your understanding, the first batch of wine here can't be sold to you, and it's easy to say that you will do business in the future!"
After a meal of mutual praise and modesty, the two sides began to officially exchange goods.
………………
At this moment.
The Tibetan royal court, some of them.
Songtsen Gampo raised his eyebrows high, and looked at Bangse who came to report below, a little surprised.
"You said that Lu Dongzan didn't sell all the drinks to the Wang family near Shanzhou...... And only half of it was given? ”
"Why is that?"
He has been on the throne for a long time, but because he is still too young, there are still many people who do not accept him.
Originally, Songtsen Gampo had already made a plan, and when he got the salt and tea of the Tang Dynasty, he could reward his ministers well to consolidate his power.
Now I suddenly got the news.
It's hard not to be surprised!
Bonse looked at Zampu's face and saw that he was very calm and did not rush to get angry, so a smile appeared on his face.
Although Zampu is not very old, his heart is far beyond ordinary people!
"Qi Zampu, he did state in his letter that there is a reason for this."
After a bow, Bonse explained:
"Lu Dongzan stayed in Chang'an for a while, and a few days before his departure, the members of the mission pretended to go to the market to buy special products and bring them back, but in fact they went to inquire about the news."
"It seems that the news that the Wang family came to me to exchange drinks in Tubo had already spread at that time, and many other families were also preparing to send a caravan to Shanzhou to do business with us."
"There are about 1,000 bottles of wine exchanged with the Cheng family this time, Lu Dongzan took 500 bottles and sent the Wang family away, and the rest is ready to be kept, and the rest will be exchanged after the rest of the family comes. This exchange for salt and tea can only be more, not less! ”
Hearing this, Songtsen Gampo's eyes suddenly lit up.
He patted his thigh and applauded!
"I didn't offend the Wang family, I left a way back, and I also sold the extra wine to other families...... What is this called by the Han Chinese? Oh, wait for the price to sell! ”
"Okay, good, Lu Dongzan did this beautifully! When he returns, the king will be rewarded! ”
He was overjoyed.
Where is the wine in the spring of this Zhenguan ten years? It is clearly a mountain of gold and silver!
But at this moment, Bangse suddenly asked something else.
"Dare to ask Zampu, when the rest of the family comes, are you going to sell them all?"
Songtsen Gampo was stunned.
What do you mean? Don't sell it for the New Year?
Bonse saw the confusion in his eyes and laughed.
"Have you ever thought that since this wine is so valuable in Datang, it can be exchanged for precious goods such as salt and tea......
"And can it be exchanged for something else?"
"We can keep some more in our hands, and when there are more urgently needed Han families who want to buy them in the future, we can sit on the ground and start the price."
"I don't want salt or tea."
"It's not impossible to change to the silk cloth of the Tang Dynasty, the beauties, and even their unique fine iron!"
The more Songtsen Gampo listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he even burst out laughing!
He suddenly got up!
"Okay, that's a great way!"
"Just do as you say!"
