Chapter 140: The Pathetic Merchant of the Western Regions
In the West Market, there are many merchants in the Western Regions, and there are countless glass treasures along the way.
Zhang Zhongjian still wondered, didn't he say that glass is very cheap? The price of glass for these merchants in the Western Regions is still not low.
Not far ahead, the sound of an argument came, and Qi Ping motioned to the two, and the three leaned over.
A merchant from the Western Regions quarreled with a Tang man.
"The price of your glass is too high, if it weren't for the sake of buying things from you, Lao Tzu would have opened your stall today."
The merchants of the Western Regions were not in a hurry, "Guest, our glass was transported from all over the Western Regions, shining with pure light, symbolizing the beauty and holiness of this world, ten taels of silver, no less." ”
It's just a glass cup, ten taels of silver.
The Datang man didn't argue, but smiled, "Hehe, now the price of glass is different from the past, in Chang'an, your cup can only be sold for fifty yuan." ”
The merchant from the Western Regions was stunned, "Fifty yuan? ”
"Hehe, you do business, and you don't ask the price, the cups for fifty yuan are more delicate and clean than yours, and there are rich peonies on them."
The Tang man smiled contemptuously, waved his hand and left.
The merchant from the Western Regions had a frightened face, "Really? Is this true? ”
Qi Ping walked out at this time, "Hehe, this merchant, but from Persia?" ”
Persia sent only silk carpets to the Tang Dynasty, as well as countless colored glasses.
But after a long journey, they don't know that Datang already has its own glass industry system, and the glass industry established by Li Hui has a very high production capacity, and the most important thing is that the quality is good, and there are many colors and styles, which are many times better than the Persian glaze.
These Persian merchants came to Chang'an once a year in the Tang Dynasty, and this time, they lost home.
"Exactly, excuse me, is what the man said just now true?"
"Hehe, what the man said is true." Qi Ping's eyes flickered, "Your glaze is actually in good condition, but now compared with Datang's self-produced glaze, it is not very good, listen to me, quickly sell it cheaply, buy Datang's good glaze at a low price, transport it back to Persia, and sell it at a high price." ”
Qi Ping is fueling the fire, he heard Hou Ye say that the plan of the glaze is to sell it domestically and re-export, from the beginning to constantly buy the glaze of the Western Regions, to squeeze the glaze merchants of the Western Regions to death, so that they can make the difference in the price of the Tang Dynasty The idea of completely disappearing, and then the glaze produced by the Tang Dynasty will be continuously transported to the Western Regions.
After all, in the Western Regions, the cost of manufacturing glass is still extremely high.
The merchant from the Western Regions sat down on the ground with a depressed face, and the tears on his face froze when the cold winter wind blew.
Qi Ping and the three of them continued to walk forward, here in the West Market, there is no need to wait for the soldiers on the watchtower to change the guard, because all the splashes in the West Market will not appear blatantly.
They have a gathering place.
This place is a temple built by Qi Ping, and there is no need for a name, there is only one monk in the temple, which should be deserted and deserted, and the incense is very poor, but it is full of people on weekdays.
Of course, this monk is also fake, when a monk hits the clock for a day, there is not even a ring scar on his head.
Seventy people entered through the main entrance of the temple, and the small temple was filled in an instant, and there were no Buddha statues in the main hall, only tables and chairs.
The high staircase, like the emperor's throne in the palace, sits a young vulture man.
"Cheng Boss, we have gained a lot during this time."
"Hehe, that's, what Qi Ping doesn't dare to do, I dare to do it as a soldier, what Qi Ping doesn't dare to manage, I dare to manage it as a soldier, and the money that Qi Ping doesn't dare to collect, I dare to collect it as a soldier!"
Cheng Bing smiled coldly, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and the tattoo on the right side of his face was extremely obvious under the light.
It was a scar, the wound he had left when he first caught fire, and now the scar on it was a perfect match for the tattoo, and it was a scorpion.
"Become the boss and mighty!"
The small temple, the wine and meat are fragrant, and there are nearly 100 people in the main hall.
After Qi Ping led people into the temple, he quietly occupied every key place, Zhang Zhongjian and Zhu Yeqing kept chirping, "Yes, Mr. Qi Ping, it seems that your industry was not small before." ”
"Hehe, it's all a foolish thing from before, it's not worth mentioning."
Zhang Zhongjian didn't feel anything, but after seeing the seventy people quietly surrounding the entire temple, he was a little excited.
This kind of team, how good it is to have one, those things in the southeast, just such an army.
That's it, if you come here, you will be safe, and if the Hou Ye gives him a chance in the future, he will go outside again.
Qi Ping took the two of them and slowly walked into the main hall.
Cheng Bing drank a little too much, and when he was drunk and hazy, he suddenly saw a familiar person.
"Huh? Hehe, my eyes are not good after drinking too much, how do I look like flush, hahahahaha. ”
Someone below immediately flattered, "Boss Cheng is powerful and domineering, Qi Ping doesn't dare to come back!" ”
"It's just that he went to be a dog, and he took other brothers with him, it's really shameless."
Qi Ping shook his head and said lightly: "The bird's ambition is to know the bird." ”
People who drink a lot always look at people with a blur, although Qi Ping stood far away and his appearance was not clear, but the sound made everyone in the hall suddenly frightened.
"Huh?"
"It's flush!"
"it, brothers, copy guys!"
Cheng Bing woke up in an instant, a shiver.
"Qi Ping, is that you? How dare you come back? You still have the face to come back! ”
Qi Ping smiled slightly, "I'm a bright and upright person, why don't I dare to come back?" ”
"It's you, a soldier, you can't do anything, there are underground rules in Chang'an, and you broke the rules."
Cheng Bing looked cold, "Qi Ping, I broke the rules?" You don't even ask me why I broke the rules! ”
"The brothers followed you before, one by one cautiously, walking on thin ice, and they didn't make much money." Cheng Bing was full of resentment, "People like us are destined to not be able to climb out for the rest of our lives, how good it is to have fun in time, how much to spend, eat meat and drink in a big bowl, so as to live up to this life." ”
"Hmph, I gave you a chance that day, and you yourself are just useless."
Qi Ping sighed, "It's only been a few days since you, and the merchants in the East and West markets are complaining, and it won't be long before those big people underground will find you and replace you." ”
Cheng Bing's eyes became vicious, "They're looking for me? Hahaha, if they come, I'll kill! ”
"I'm already like this, what can they do to me?"
"Lao Tzu just likes money, and I like the feeling of choking someone's throat."
Qi Ping kept shaking his head at Cheng Bing's words, this thing is hopeless.
"Do it!"
Qi Ping waved his hand, and seventy people rushed in, and this time, Qi Ping had no reservations.
These people can not die, but they must surrender.
If you become a soldier, you must die.
