What? Even tea, ceramics and even cloth can be shipped overseas more than tenfold in price? The people who heard it couldn't help but gasp, wouldn't it be possible to make a fortune if you had to transport a boatload of cloth out? Shocking, too shocking, although it is not as good as transporting a boatload of spices back to a million profits, but transporting cloth is simple and trouble-free, so thinking about it, overseas seems to be really full of wealth! Twenty carriages entered Chang'an City, walking on the wide streets, although the weather was cold, but the streets were still bustling, seeing the twenty carriages that were slowly coming, the people on the street were stunned, why did so many carriages suddenly appear? And he actually pulled so many goods, full of them, wait a while, isn't the one sitting on the horse Huatinghou? This is the carriage of the Huating Marquis Mansion? Seeing that the Huating Marquis Mansion dispatched so many carriages at one time, they couldn't help but think of the dozens of carts of spices, and these carriages would not carry all spices, right? It is very likely, and when the carriage passed, they seemed to smell a mixed smell of spices, and even many idle people followed the back of the carriage, they wanted to see if these carriages were carrying spices, and they were also curious about what Hua Tinghou was doing with so many carts of spices, as the carriage continued to move forward on the wide long street, there were more and more people following behind, and the carriage gradually entered the East Market, moving more slowly, because the East Market rubbed shoulders.

"Forget it, don't go any further, let's start setting up a stall! Put up the plaque. ”

Li Yong commanded lightly.

The accompanying head of the guard, Xiao Niu, asked Ai Ai.

"Master Hou, do you really want to set up a stall?"

"Nonsense! My plaques are all written, is there still a fake? Quick, set up the stall. ”

Li Yong said with great interest, Xiao Niu and his guards are very broken, how can there be a stall on Houdang Street in Chaozhong County? Let the emperor know that it is worth it? Do you want the dignity of the imperial court?

"What? Shame on you? ”

Li Yong asked with a smile.

"Of course we are not ashamed, we are worried that Hou Ye will lose his dignity, otherwise, the little ones are setting up stalls here, Hou Ye, you go over there to drink tea and rest?"

The little cow kindly persuaded him, but Li Yong waved his hand and said.

"No, quick, open all the tarps on the car and put up the stalls."

The little cow could only do it helplessly, Li Yong got off the horse and sat down on the chair, there were more and more people around him, they were all very curious, Hua Tinghou suddenly stopped the carriage, what were you going to do? The guards are uncovering the tarpaulin, what's in the tarpaulin? It's definitely spices! People were suddenly excited, did they finally see a cart of spices? The guards uncovered the tarpaulin, revealing the true face inside, and everyone who was watching with wide eyes with excited eyes was suddenly dumbfounded, how can this sack one by one? Is this carriage full of grain or spices?

"What the hell is this?"

"It's grain and grass, right?"

"I think it's like grain and grass."

"What grain and grass? It's a spice, don't you smell a strong smell of spice? ”

"Impossible, how can spices be packed in sacks?"

"That is, your spices are packed in sacks?"

"I don't have any spices in my house, but I've seen spices from my neighbor's cousin's house, ground into fine powder, packed in fine porcelain bottles, and stored in brocade boxes."

……

Just when everyone was talking, Li Yong's guards erected a plaque again, wholesale and retail all kinds of spices, good quality, sufficient quantity, seeing the plaque, the literate people in the crowd all read it, after reading it, they couldn't help but be stunned, not only the people who read were stunned, but the people who listened were also stunned, silent, the street that was originally noisy and very lively suddenly quieted down, and the people on this small section of the street had a feeling of doubting life, Huatinghou This is setting up a stall? I don't know how many people set up stalls in Chang'an City, and everyone is not surprised at all, but who has ever seen a stall set up by the dignified court and county marquis? Not to mention that they have never heard of it, they have never heard of it, not to mention that the person who set up the stall turned out to be Huating Hou, after being stunned, they looked at the carriage and were even more speechless, these sacks were really filled with spices, that was spices! How precious! How can it be packed in a sack? Isn't this a tyrannical thing? After the silence, a loud noise erupted in the street.

"Hua Tinghou actually set up a stall?"

"And it's still spices."

"It's really a spice! That's a lot of spices! ”

"It's a terrible thing to use a sack of spices!"

"The Huating Marquis Mansion has really transported back dozens of truckloads of spices! Twenty carts of spices were pulled out at this moment. ”

……

Although more and more people are talking, the news is spreading quickly in the East Market.

"Did you hear that? Huatinghou is setting up a stall at the entrance of the East Market! ”

"You're crazy, aren't you? Huating Hou stall? Who believes! ”

"That's it, you have to be reliable in making up words!"

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Then what do you say Hua Tinghou is selling at his stall?"

"Selling spices! Twenty carts of spices! It's all in sacks! ”

"Poof~ Hahaha, the spices are in a sack, are you going to laugh at me?"

"If you don't believe me, okay, let's go, I'll take you to see!"

……

The news spread rapidly, and the tax collectors in Dongshi were stunned when they heard it, what is it? Someone setting up a stall? Ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, right? I don't know if the East Market doesn't allow stalls? What? Is Huatinghou setting up a stall? Isn't that? Why don't you say that the emperor is setting up a stall? The tax collector rushed towards the entrance of the East Market, majestic and high-spirited, and finally squeezed into the crowd, and then he was stunned, it was really Huatinghou who was setting up a stall, and the tax collector was stunned all of a sudden, I really wanted to give myself a slap, why didn't I believe that Huatinghou would set up a stall? Why did Baba come here? Is it too late to turn around and leave? The tax collector stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"The little one has seen Master Hou, Master Hou, what about the stall?"

"That's right, set up a stall!"

Li Yong replied with a smile, do you know that Dongshi is not allowed to set up stalls? The tax collector wanted to ask in a whisper, but no matter how much he encouraged himself, he couldn't ask this sentence, no, he had to say something, the tax collector took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask.

"Master Hou, do you want to shout at you?"

Li Yong smiled and waved his hand and said.

"No, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and I am not afraid of spices either."

Although he has set up a stall and has not sold a pound of spices until now, he is not panicked at all, because spices are very precious and have no practical use, and ordinary people are not willing to buy them at all, so Li Yong didn't think that these onlookers would buy them, he was waiting, he really wanted to set up a stall to sell, these twenty carts of spices have to be sold until the Year of the Monkey? So Li Yong didn't think about retail, but wholesale, the tax collector really wanted to help shout and shout, hoping to sell it out quickly, so that this master could quickly close the stall, after all, the East Market is not allowed to set up stalls, but after glancing at this long carriage, the tax collector felt that his eyes were black, when would such spices have to be sold in a stall? Don't sell for years! As soon as he thought that in the next few years, Huating Hou would come here every day to set up a stall, and he had a feeling that he had nothing to love, Li Yong said with a smile.

"Okay, don't cry like this, I can't blame you."

"The little one didn't cry with a sad face! The little one laughs all the time! ”

Just as the tax collector was squeezing a smile on his face, a voice like a silver bell rang.

"Li Yong, are you really setting up a stall?"

Princess Zhenzhu chuckled, with a look of surprise, when she heard someone say that Huating Hou was setting up a stall, she didn't believe it at all, how could Li Yong be a county marquis set up a stall? But the people on the street were talking, so she couldn't help but take a look, but she really saw Li Yong setting up a stall and met an acquaintance, but Li Yong didn't feel embarrassed at all, and smiled.

"yes, it's a stall!"

"No, you are a dignified county marquis, why do you want to set up a stall?"

Princess Zhenzhu asked curiously.

"I'm going to sell these spices, and I don't have a place to put them at home."

Li Yong explained, the smile on Princess Zhenzhu's face suddenly froze, she really wanted to ask, Li Yong, aren't you afraid of being beaten like this? Not only Princess Zhenzhu was stunned, but even many onlookers couldn't help but be stunned, but thinking about it, it seems normal that there is no place for dozens of carts of spices!

"I don't seem to see anyone buy it, when will your twenty truckloads of spices be sold? Do you want me to help you shout and shout? ”

Princess Zhenzhu asked with a smile, and Li Yong said with a slight smile.

"Your princess came to help me shout, I can't afford to pay for it!"

"Which of us is with whom, do we still need to be paid?"

Princess Zhenzhu smiled disappreciatively, what do you mean by who is with whom, Li Yong was startled when he heard this, this is too easy to misunderstand, there are so many people on this long street! Li Yong hurriedly smiled.

"If you sell it for me, I'll give you a sack of spices."

Princess Zhenzhu was speechless, she didn't go to Lijiazhuang in the past few days, just because she was afraid that Li Yong and Princess Changle would misunderstand that she wanted spices, and Li Yong and Princess Changle must be very embarrassed at that time, and it was not that she would not send her, but now Li Yong is a sack of spices as soon as he exits, a sack of spices, how precious it is! In Li Yong's place, the spices are all counted according to the sack.

"A sack of spices is too precious, I don't want it, it's just to help you shout a few words."

Although Princess Zhenzhu was very happy in her heart, she refused, after all, a sack of spices was too precious.

"If you had forty wagons of spices, would you give me a sack?"

Li Yong asked suddenly, and Princess Zhenzhu nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course you will!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"That's the end of it!"

Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but be stunned, it seems that this is the truth! Anyway, just shout.

"Don't miss it, everyone! The best spices are precious! What you buy is what you earn! ”

Princess Zhenzhu really began to shout, and she shouted very decently, just when Princess Zhenzhu was shouting, several people who looked like wealthy businessmen squeezed in, and when they saw the twenty carts of spices, the expressions on their faces were very complicated, when they first heard the news that the Huating Hou Mansion had brought back forty carts of spices, they were very happy, because they didn't believe it at all, and felt that the rumors were wrong, it was likely to be four carts of spices, and they were very happy, because spices were very scarce and precious, if Huating Hou could sell half of the spices, That's great, they eat those two carts of spices, and the supply will be sufficient, but when they are sure that Lijiazhuang really has forty carts of spices, their hearts are broken, dozens of carts of spices! Who can eat this? It's not just that they can't eat it, the impact of forty carts of spices on the market is too great, this is also what Li Yong and Li Xiaogong agreed at the beginning, the spices brought back from overseas are not concentrated in Chang'an peddling, but secretly sold in other parts of the country, and now these businessmen are sure that there are forty carts of spices in Huating Hou's mansion, and the only hope in their hearts is that Huating Hou will treasure the forty carts of spices, otherwise the spices in the market will definitely drop in price, then they will definitely lose money! Therefore, when they heard that Hua Tinghou was setting up a stall in the East Market to sell spices, their hearts were broken, and what should have come has come after all.

"Master Hou, set up a stall!"

Wang Yiliu said with a dry smile, Li Yong was waiting for them, pointed to the plaque and said with a smile.

"Yes, set up a stall and wholesale all kinds of spices."

Wang Yiliu and a few people laughed dryly.

"Spices are so precious, wouldn't it be a pity if Master Hou sold them?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"There's no way, there are too many spices at home, and there's no place to put them, so I can only sell them."

Wang Yiliu almost stopped crying when he heard this, these spice merchants don't have so many spices!

"Aren't you the spice merchants of Chang'an? Do you want to wholesale some spices? ”

Li Yong asked with a smile.

Wang Yiliu smiled bitterly.

"Master Hou, so many spices appear on the market, the price of spices will definitely plummet!"

Li Yong asked with a smile.

"Really? How much are you going to buy? If you buy too much, I can give you a cheaper price! ”

Wang Yiliu coughed dryly.

"If the price of Master Hou is right, we will grit our teeth and eat all these spices!"

Eat them all? Li Yong asked with a smile.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

Wang Yiliu and the others glanced at each other and coughed dryly.

"Half of the market price, does Master Hou think it's appropriate?"

Li Yong didn't have a good airway.

"Nonsense, of course it's not appropriate!"

Wang Yiliu smiled bitterly.

"Master Hou, we can't help it, you have twenty carts of spices at once, and the market price of spices has plummeted, and this price is already very high! And Hou Ye may pull another boatload of spices back to Chang'an next year, and our risk is really big. ”

Li Yong just laughed when he heard it, believe you ghost, the spice market is not only Chang'an, not only Datang, spices are in demand in the Western Regions, even more in demand than in Datang, as long as these guys eat these spices, a year is enough time to slowly get out, not only do not lose money but also make a lot of money, as long as they can hold these spices in their hands, they will not let the price of spices drop much, Li Yong said with a smile.

"Half price, it's boring, then I might as well open a spice shop in the East Market and sell it at eighty percent of the price, anyway, I will sell it slowly, I don't seem to be in a hurry to think about it."

Wang Yiliu and the others couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this.
