"Don't dare to be." Huang Gongzi responded to her in ventriloquism, "It's just barely making ends meet." ”

Since the Han Dynasty, since Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the "mutual market" has begun to emerge.

The two sides of the neighboring countries exchanged information through merchants, for example, the "New Tang Dynasty Book • The Biography of Lu Yu" said: "When the time returned to the court, the horse market tea was driven." It's about the tea and horse market.

Because the imperial court forbade the trade of various metals with foreign countries, tea became the preferred commodity in the mutual market. ”

Unlike the previous dynasty, the mutual market of the previous dynasty was carried out spontaneously by the merchants of the two states, while the mutual market of the current dynasty was under the supervision of the imperial court, which set up a fixed place to trade with the northern barbarians, and used the merchants as a transshipment medium to quickly transport the goods from the south to the north, and traded with foreign countries at the designated time and place.

Therefore, at several fixed times every year, the Huang family will dispatch from south to north to load goods, just to earn more profits during the opening period of the ultra-high-profit mutual market.

"Use tea to exchange horses, consolidate people's hearts" has always been a means of the previous dynasty and this dynasty, with tea and horses to consolidate the border defense, reduce the possibility of war, and make money from foreign countries to raise troops, is the dynasty to deal with foreign countries, in the dignified and upright through the insight of the people's hearts.

Pei Qing listened to Huang Gongzi's eloquent explanation, watched him write, and unconsciously introduced his ideas into the development of the former county.

More than 100 miles north of the former county is the border plug, the side plug is bitter cold and poor, but the merchants who come and go are rich and rival the country, and the position she occupies in the former county is not dangerous, but ...... As with the phrase "organic in crisis", high risk goes hand in hand with high profits.

Why can't she be one of these rich businessmen?

So, the question is, what products can be used in the mutual market in Xixian County now?

Listening to her question, Huang Gongzi replied in ventriloquist after a little hesitation: "You can't sell medicinal herbs, you can't sell grain, and you can't sell ores, gold and iron...... If salt can be produced here in Xi County, it can be used to make a lot of money in the mutual market, but let's not talk about whether there are salt mines in Xi County, Princess Rui, do you have anyone in the court? No one, Xixian is not qualified to sell salt. ”

Pei Qing didn't speak, he continued: "After the Anshi Rebellion of the previous dynasty, Tang Suzong appointed the Fifth Qi as the salt and iron money envoy, created the salt law, and turned the salt administration from private trading to official monopoly, and placed prisons in the salt farms in various places, and the salt produced could only be sold to the government, and the government sold it at a higher price, so the salt government was in charge and banned from selling illicit salt. This dynasty continued many of the laws of the previous dynasty, and so did the salt and iron official camp. ”

Pei Qing nodded when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder the salt carried by the Huang family's caravan is so expensive every time, this princess thought that the freight of the journey was too high, but it turned out to be the salt of the official family." ”

The most profitable thing in the world is monopoly, that's what it means.

It stands to reason that merchants like the Huang family are not allowed to sell salt, but it is clear that they have taken advantage of some loopholes, and there has never been a shortage of salt in the goods and has never been held accountable...... So, which is the force behind the Huang family?

After a pause, she slowly showed a sweet and soft smile, and said softly: "Who said that Xixian didn't have the goods that could be handled?" Yes, and there are a lot of them. ”

Huang Gongzi had already written a piece of paper at this time, and when he heard the words, he quickly put down the pen and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Pei Qing replied leisurely: "That's paper." I want to sell picture books of "Female Ring", "Disciple Rules", and "No Desire, No Desire" to the Northern Barbarians. ”

Huang Gongzi: ???

"The Female Ring" he knows is a "masterpiece" that restricts women and turns women into wooden people, and the other two ......

"Please forgive me for being blunt," he lowered his long sleeves and spoke in a faint ventriloquis, "What is the Disciple Rules?" "No Desire, No Desire"? What is a picture book? ”

The "Disciple Rules" that appeared in the braid dynasty naturally did not have it at this time, and there were many feudal dross in it, although there was also a persuasive side to be good, but if the book was accepted without screening, it would only lead to the rigidity of future generations' thinking, the loss of subjective initiative, and even the loss of enterprising.

And "No Desire, No Desire", this kind of spicy chicken soup text, there are many in the Wanjie trading system, ten cents can be exchanged for a copy, the price is very low, and the whole article persuades people to give up the Buddha system and lie flat, which is very suitable for positive and enterprising aliens to read.

Pei Qing replied lightly: "Picture books are villain books, which are used to enlighten children - to promote the culture of our dynasty and educate foreign barbarians, starting from my former county!"

These three books were carefully selected by her, if the barbarians can learn these three books, they will naturally be able to domesticate themselves from wild beasts to the people of this dynasty, develop a sense of identity and attachment to the culture of this dynasty, give up the law of the jungle of the jungle of the jungle of the northern barbarians, hinder their ideological development, slow down their offensive attitude, and thus restrain the aggressive customs of the barbarians.

What else is more desirable about the loss of ferocity of the barbarians?

If the ferocity of the barbarians can be eliminated with words, the life of Xixian and Biansai will be much more stable.

Huang Gongzi's curvacated lips were slightly provoked for a moment, but they quickly regained their straightness, and he said respectfully in ventriloquism: "So, how much is the princess worth for these books?" ”

Pei Qing said innocently and innocently: "This princess and Bodhisattva heart, buy one and get one free for these books, each book only needs half a sheep, buy a full set and give an advanced version of Confucianism - a collection of eight strands." ”

Send the warmth of feudal dross to the illiterate barbaric foreigners, no thanks.

There was silence on the verandah for a long time.

Huang Gongzi obviously digested Pei Qing's intentions, because he said: "The princess's insight is a hundred times better than that of the Confucianism in the court!" ”

Pei Qing took the opportunity to dump him: "Don't worry, there is still bundled sales: if Waiyi buys less than one pound of tea from the Huang family, the picture book of Xixian County will cost half a sheep; If Waiyi buys more than three catties of tea from the Huang family, the picture books of the former county will be sold at a discount; If Waiyi buys more than ten catties of tea from the Huang family, the picture book of the former county will be given away for free - Huang Gongzi, since then, the price of your tea should be raised. ”

Huang Gongzi was silent again, his long black hair obscured his expression, and only his tense lips could be seen.

"Yes." After half a cup of tea, he clapped in ventriloquist and said, "This plan is wonderful, Rong will go back and re-price the Huang family's tea." ”

After that, he didn't allow Pei Qing to touch his wheelchair, and even refused the convenience of Ah Xing and others to help push the cart, turned the wheels by himself, and went back along the road he came.

Pei Qing watched him go away, and the meaning in the peach blossom eyes was inexplicable.

*

Huang Qiyi appeared at the gate of Princess Rui's manor, and the Huang family's entourage waiting outside the door hurriedly ran over to serve him, and carefully carried him to the spacious carriage with a wheelchair.

The wheels turned, and the carriage left the gate of the manor smoothly, and then returned to the Huang family's caravan station in the field along the cement road.

A tent had been set up in the station, and after Huang Seventeen's wheelchair entered his own tent, he issued a death order, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering.

Then, the tent was tightly closed, and there was silence inside.

Huang Seventeen's tent was dimly lit, and he sat alone in a wheelchair, with a tall bronze mirror in front of him, and meteorite iron was added to the bronze mirror, so that the mirror was silvery white and translucent.

At this moment, he slowly took off the light veil that covered half of his face in front of the bronze mirror, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes like a falcon, as well as a noble and majestic forehead.

Then, he slowly tied up the satin-like hair that had fallen over his shoulders, revealing the full earlobes on both sides.
