Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Obviously, Huang Song is such a person.

When Huang Song came to Li Qinjian's mansion, Li Qinjian was meeting with the merchants of the Chang'an department.

Nowadays, several departments of the Ming Dynasty have their own yamen in this outer city, in order to facilitate their work.

"Li Shilang, this imperial court prohibits grain from leaving the country, and we really can't help it." In the yamen of the household department, someone said helplessly.

They are also bitter in their hearts, and Chang'an wants them to generate income, and they have to put a tight spell on them, and it is difficult for them to be angry at both ends and blocked at both ends.

When Li Qinjian heard this, he smiled and said: "My official also understands your difficulties, but I hope you will also understand the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Although it has been concluded before that this thing still has to be sold, the business has always been about who is in a hurry and who suffers.

Of course, this is also because they are all businessmen, if they are replaced by an old fox like Changsun Wuji, do you think he is in a hurry? The only thing that your Ming court is generating income now is these things, do you dare not sell them?

How can you say that there is real money and silver when you sell it, and you can still think of ways from other channels not to sell it? Don't sell you, when the Ming Dynasty has a food crisis in the future, are you going to hold these things and gnaw on them?

But then again, it's not like no one among them thinks of this layer, but they don't have enough confidence, in the end, they are not the ones who are in charge.

"Li Shilang, the current situation is indeed beyond our control." Cheng Zhenghao said, "Do you think we should trade copper coins for the time being?" ”

Li Qinjian said in embarrassment: "It stands to reason that it should be so, but you also know the predicament of my Ming Dynasty, when the food is really exhausted, we can't gnaw on this copper coin, right?"

Besides, now there are thousands of Tang caravans going to and from my Ming Dynasty's court every day, and your caravan alone will consume how much food will we have?

Today, the court has also discussed whether to ban the entry of the Tang caravan.

After all, the caravan that enters the country every day is conservative to consume dozens or even hundreds of stones of grain, which is only a day's consumption.

Over time, that's not a small amount. ”

Hearing Li Qinjian say this, everyone was stunned.

Is this really going to sever business dealings with Datang?

They ignored it before, but when Li Qinjian reminded him, everyone reacted instantly.

Indeed, as far as the caravan of the Tang Dynasty is concerned, it is conservatively estimated that it will consume thousands of stone of grain in January. After all, the Tang Dynasty has banned grain from leaving the country, in addition to consuming the grain of the Ming Dynasty, can they really starve themselves to death?

This question is also what Li Qinjian thought of later.

He can accept the Tang Dynasty's ban on grain leaving the country, but he must beware of those scholars using this way to consume the grain of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, they would have a caravan of tens of thousands of people a day, or in less than a month, the little grain reserves of the Ming royal court would have bottomed out.

This is indeed a problem.

The crowd was silent.

In the final analysis, it is still the Ming Dynasty that does not have enough grain production itself this year, so it has to be so.

"Li Shilang, do you think this will work?" The eldest grandson said, "This time, we will trade copper coins first, and if our caravan can't solve its own food problem in the future, we will think of other ways?" First of all, the transaction is completed. ”

Li Qinjian pretended to groan, and only said after a long time: "Okay, everyone has been cooperating for so long, and this little face still has to be given, so if you go to the shopkeeper of the trading house, just say what the official said, for the time being, you will trade with copper coins, and you can buy as much as you can, it doesn't matter." ”

In fact, he knows very well that as long as this problem is raised, there must be a solution.

There are so many caravans of noble families in Chang'an, and it is still a profitable business, who wants to give up?

The scholars are indeed very powerful, but cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and they also have to weigh it.

"But I've got to say the ugly things first." Li Qinjian said again, "The grain that has entered the Ming Dynasty must not be outflowed, this is our bottom line."

As for the Tang Dynasty caravans that stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, as long as they did not leave the Ming Dynasty, they would enjoy the same treatment as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, if the caravan of Datang wants to enter the Ming Dynasty, even if the current caravan returns to the Tang Dynasty, if it wants to re-enter the Ming Dynasty, I'm sorry, bring your own food. The Ming Dynasty would not sell a grain to these people.

The same is true for your own grain shops, and if anyone found to have violated this rule, the Ming court will permanently expel their caravans.

Of course, if the Ming court survives this crisis, everything will naturally be business as usual in the future. ”

"That's nature, that's nature." Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the Ming Dynasty was relieved, they would not be so worried.

As for saying that you have to prepare your own food when you enter the Ming Dynasty in the future, although it is a bit funny, it is not a problem.

There are so many nobles behind them, and the nobles dare not persecute too much.

"Li Shilang, Huang Song asked to see him, and he has been waiting for a while." After the crowd had left, someone came in and said.

Li Qinjian was stunned, what is this guy doing? But he still said, "Let him in." ”

Soon, Huang Song walked in, bowed down, and said, "I've seen Li Shilang." ”

"They are all fellow villagers in Jingyang, why be so polite, sit down quickly, come to someone, serve tea." Li Qinjian said with a smile.

Although his identity is different now, Li Qinjian has not really cocked his tail to the sky.

Huang Song smiled: "Li Shilang is polite. ”

"What difficulties did Lao Huang encounter in finding me today?" Li Qinjian said with a smile, "If there is any difficulty, just say that it is all from Jingyang, and it is natural to help if you can help it." ”

For these businessmen from Jingyang, Li Qinjian has actually taken good care of them.

Hearing Li Qinjian say this, Huang Song said: "That's the case, didn't I hear that Datang prohibits grain from leaving the country?" We discussed it for a while, thinking about whether we could go to Tuyuhun or Tubo to get some grain back. ”

At first, Li Qinjian thought that Huang Song's intention was the same as those businessmen in the noble family, but he didn't expect this guy to actually fight this idea, so he became serious and asked, "How do you want to get it?" ”

"That's what I thought." Huang Song repeated what he had said to the big guy in the restaurant before to Li Qinjian.

After listening to him, Li Qinjian was a little familiar, good guy, His Royal Highness seemed to have said this at the beginning.

After thinking about it carefully, the truth is right, it is indeed the case.

Can a great disaster still fall on the heads of those dignitaries?

However, he was still a little worried, not that Huang Song could buy food from those dignitaries, but that the benefits, yes, he immediately asked: "Even if you can buy back the grain, but the grain of the Tang Dynasty and the grain of Tuyuhun are definitely not the same price, after all, Tuyuhun has been affected by disasters for so many years, and the grain must be more expensive." But in this business, who can still trade at a loss? ”

This is what he doesn't understand the most, he himself is a businessman, he lives by himself, and if he doesn't make money, it's all called a loss, not to mention a real loss.

When a merchant is willing to make a loss-making deal, it shows that what he wants is far more attractive than money.

"Li Shilang is too worried." Huang Song said with a smile, "In the past few days, I have specially gone to Changming Commercial Bank to take a look, Changming Commercial Bank has a lot of good things, let's not talk about paper, such as music boxes, return air stoves, and some sheepskin coats, etc., are all first-class good things."

I think so, buy goods from Changming Commercial Bank and sell them to Tuyuhun, these things, those ordinary people in Tuyuhun really can't afford it, but can't those dignitaries in Tuyuhun still can't afford it?

At that point, isn't what they want is a superior life?

In the end, we buy food from them and bring it back, so that we can still make a lot of profit after a trip. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Song rubbed his hands and said, "It's just that our capital is limited, and we may have to turn over with Daming Qianzhuang."

Li Shilang rest assured, borrow grain to repay grain, we understand this. ”

Huang Song is not a fool, of course he knows what Li Qinjian is worried about, so he has already made a plan.

And Li Qinjian also nodded, this guy will come to trouble.

What he borrowed from Daming Qian Zhuang was not money, but grain.

Then I went to buy goods from Changming Commercial Bank, to put it bluntly, the left hand was down to the right hand, and the grain was still in the Ming court.

And what he has to pay back after that can only be grain, so that the grain comes in, but the price is still the price of the Ming Dynasty.

If you really want him to do it, this thing is a win-win situation.

Of course, there are risks, but how can there be no risks when doing business?

For him at this time, this little risk can be taken.

At this moment, the servant walked in with tea, Li Qinjian just glanced at it, and then pretended to be displeased: "Brother Huang is a distinguished guest, how can he fool around with this kind of tea and serve good tea." ”

When the servant heard this, he immediately folded out again.

"Come, Brother Huang, tell me your plan in detail." Li Qinjian immediately laughed.

As soon as Huang Song saw Li Qinjian's reaction, he immediately understood, there was a chance that this matter would be done, and he immediately talked about it carefully.

The two talked in detail for more than an hour, and Li Qinjian said: "In this way, you go back and wait for me to believe, I can't be the master of this matter, but don't worry, I will definitely promote this matter." ”

"Then thank you Li Shilang." Huang Song also smiled.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Qinjian said, and went out of the household yamen with Huang Song.

"Li Shilang, in the afternoon, I prepared a banquet at Changming Restaurant, and invited Li Shilang to enjoy the light."

Li Qinjian nodded and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

After speaking, Li Qinjian quickly returned to Sun Moon Mountain and found Li Chengqian.

He wanted to ask Li Chengqian what he meant about this.

Li Chengqian was originally designing a new spinning wheel, but when he saw Li Qinjian coming, he put down the work at hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's the ......," Li Qinjian briefly introduced the situation.

After he finished speaking, Li Chengqian smiled, sure enough, there are always people who can find business opportunities from it.

"What do you think?" There was no rush to express his position, Li Chengqian wanted to hear Li Qinjian's views.

At the end of the day, it's time to test them.

Li Qinjian didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Weichen has thought about it carefully, this is indeed a road, no matter how much grain can be recovered, but it is better to have such a channel than nothing."

Wechen feels that we can try, and we can encourage more people to try. ”

Nodding, Li Chengqian said: "That's the truth, since they are willing to try, then it will be better to Tuguhun." But you can't do it so rashly, remember what we said before, our business with Tuyuhun is only with Dohe County, but we can't control the private business, right?

In this way, you organize a batch of goods and complete the transaction with Murong Xiaojun first, which will always make some people jealous, and Huang Song and their business will be easy to do. ”

"This Weichen will arrange it immediately." Li Qinjian said with a smile, "Murong Xiaojun's envoy has already looked for Weichen, and he is probably waiting for Weichen's words." ”

Li Chengqian smiled, such a trend is very good.

One person cannot promote the development of a country, and if a country wants to become strong, it must be that the whole country is working hard for the same goal.

"By the way, Your Highness." Li Qinjian said, "I found a problem before. ”

"What's the problem?"

"After leaving before, I suddenly remembered that the total number of caravans entering the Tang Dynasty every day is thousands, and they are now forbidden to enter the country.

I'm worried that those people of the Shi clan will take advantage of this loophole and send a large number of caravans into the country, if that is the case, the food of my Ming Dynasty will not be able to withstand their waste.

So Weichen made his own assertion that in the future, if the Datang caravan did not bring its own food, it would be forbidden to enter the country. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qinjian was also a little flustered, and whispered, "Weichen has no ......"

"That's how it should be." Li Chengqian waved his hand and interrupted what he wanted to say, in fact, he didn't say it, Li Chengqian knew what he was going to say, there was no need, on the contrary, Li Chengqian was very satisfied with his behavior.

Only with the Ming Dynasty in his heart will there be such behavior, which is worth encouraging, "You have done a good job in this matter, you don't need to explain."

O Warriors...... It is true that they have to guard against their hands, and they can really do this kind of thing.

If we really want to get tens of thousands of people to come to my Ming Dynasty in the name of business, but secretly consume our food, then we are really in some trouble. ”

Not to mention, now that he thinks about it, Li Chengqian is a little afraid, but he forgot that the scholar clan lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people......

"Okay, you go and deal with Huang Song's affairs, remember, these things we produce, if they can't be exchanged for money and food, it will be meaningless.

Don't be reluctant, these things, as long as our Ming royal court is still there, how many or how many you want. ”

Li Chengqian really doesn't care about this, why did he get these things out?

Isn't it just to sell for a good price?

The Ming court is short of money now, and if you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy anything?

Li Qinjian nodded and bowed to leave.

After Li Qinjian left, Li Chengqian sat there and pondered for a while.

There are now soldiers and horses from Tuyuhun stationed in Douhe County, which shows that even if Murong Fuyun is not suspicious, he is also wary of Murong Xiaojun.

It's time to find a way to separate the county from the rest of the ministry.

Not to mention, this is really an opportunity.

"Call Wu An." After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian commanded.

When Gao Chunxing heard this, he immediately arranged for someone to find Wu An.

When Wu An came, Li Chengqian was thinking about things and was fascinated, but he didn't pay attention.

Gao Chunxing also shook his head and motioned for Wu An to wait for a while.

"How long have you been here?" When Li Chengqian came back to his senses, he saw that Wu An was already standing there.

"It didn't take long."

Li Chengqian asked, "How is the preparation of the secret spy department?" ”

"The big frame is there, and the manpower is still being replenished, but it is enough for the time being." Wu An said.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is not an overnight thing, in this way, this king now has a task to hand over to your secret spy department." ”

"Your Highness just commands." Wu An said.

Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Gao Chunxing.

Seeing this, Gao Chunxing immediately left with the rest of the people.

When only Li Chengqian and Wu An were left in the king's tent, Li Chengqian said: "This king wants your secret spy division to infiltrate Dohe County and provoke discord between Doihe County and Tuyuhun Tribes.

You can be tempted, assassinated, or blamed, the process is not important, the king only needs the result.

Now, Murong Fuyun has let all the troops and horses stationed in Douhe County, which seems to be to assist in defense, but he underestimated the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people have never been able to stand the test. ”

"My subordinates understood." As soon as Wu An heard Li Chengqian's words, he knew that he had set his next target in Shuihe County.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Be careful, this is the first time since the establishment of the Secret Spy Division that there is a mission, and I tell the brothers that when they come back from this mission, they will all be rewarded." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task." After Wu An finished speaking, he also bowed and retired.

He also needs to go back and plan carefully.

For him, it was also an opportunity.

And after he left, Li Chengqian wrote another secret letter.

This secret letter is addressed to Yang Lin.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, such a big matter, Li Chengqian will not just let the secret spy department deal with it.

After writing the letter, Li Chengqian called back Gao Chunxing and the others, and said, "You send someone to send the letter to Yang Lin overnight." ”

Li Chengqian said this to Yu Chi Baolin.

After doing all this, Li Chengqian walked out of the big tent and asked for no reason: "Changle, are they coming back soon?" ”

"Soon, according to the news sent back by General Yi, it is estimated that it will be five or six days at the latest." Gao Chunxing said with a smile on the side.

"That's fast." Li Chengqian said, "It's been almost a year since I've been here, hey, this year has been in vain, and I always feel like I've achieved nothing." ”

The crowd stopped squeaking.

Big brother, can we not pretend to be forced?

Are you saying that you can't achieve anything? What are we people called?

And at this moment, Qi Bi He Li came back from outside with a glorious face.

"Your Highness, Weichen's clan has arrived, and now they are entering from Taoyuan."

"Arrived?" Li Chengqian was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that it won't be until September?" ”

Hehe, Qi Qi He Li smiled and said: "They heard that Weichen enjoyed happiness in the Ming Dynasty, so they hurried towards the Ming Dynasty. ”

More than 40,000 people, it's really not easy to settle.

However, Li Chengqian also had a plan, and said: "Now there are fifteen cities in the Ming Dynasty, seven border cities, in addition to Sun Moon Mountain and Deyang City, there are six cities on the grassland, this king wants to distribute your people in these six cities, what does General Qibi want?" ”
