The Arabs found him much faster than Pei Xingjian thought, and the day after Del Valle left here, a merchant from the Tang Dynasty found Pei Xingjian and told him that someone wanted to see him.

Pei Xingjian did not go to see the other party, but sent another shopkeeper of Yuelai Commercial Bank who came with them to meet the other party, but the other party was also sincere, and expressed his attitude when he came up, saying that they were Arabs and wanted to buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty, and they were even willing to bid higher than the Persians.

And this shopkeeper also roughly said to the other party what Pei Xingjian and Del Barle said, which means that there is His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, but I am the shopkeeper of His Royal Highness Li Tai, the King of Yue of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the fourth prince.

The four princes and the three princes have always been at odds, and the two sides are fighting openly and secretly in the court, but at present, the three princes have the upper hand, so the weapons and armor in the hands of the four princes are limited, only 10,000 sets of armor.

Then he told them that this time the four princes sold their armor partly to make money, and partly to make meritorious deeds and strive for a position in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so His Royal Highness the King of Yue could buy an island with Arabia and become the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if this island is not big, it can become the land of the Tang Dynasty, which means that His Royal Highness King Yue has made meritorious contributions.

Needless to say, you can understand everything.

As a result, the Oman Peninsula successfully started and officially changed its name: Dongyang Peninsula (√) Dongyang Port (√).

For Arabia, these places are very remote, only a few oases, from the most prominent place on the peninsula to the later Dubai and other locations are all owned by the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang Dynasty in the later Dubai location, the original small port is ready to expand into a large port.

This means that with Li Ke taking part of the land of the port of Hormuz on the opposite side, if there is a conflict, the fleet of the Tang Dynasty can unite and completely block the entire Strait of Hormuz.

The armor and arrows sold to Arabia are not expensive, even cheaper than Persia, of course, not at a certain price, in addition to food.

The Arabs needed food, they didn't need food in the early stage because they had robbed a large number of Persians' original warehouses and granaries, but once the two sides began to confront each other, then they needed food.

And Li Ke could receive a large amount of cheap grain from the Jieri Dynasty and transport it to the Persian Gulf or so, such a close distance, at least ten times the profit, anyway, the gold and silver coins that the Arabs are snatching now have no effect at all.

They don't mind using it to buy weapons and food, because they know very well that if they don't arm themselves, what awaits them is complete defeat, knowing that they have provoked not only Persia but also Byzantium.

And Del Barle, who saw Isai III here, also told Pei Xingjian's words, and after Isai III was silent, he could understand the struggles between the king's own heirs, including the restrictions on the king between the great nobles, of course.

So he didn't doubt all this, and as for the issue of the proportion of gold according to the Tang Dynasty that Li Ke said, Isai III also smiled bitterly.

"Some time ago, a lot of our silver coins were exchanged for gold, right? By a Turkic? ”

"Yes, I suspect that behind this Turkic is probably a prince or nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, who came to us to exchange it after knowing the news, and it happened that when our Persia was in danger some time ago, compared to silver coins, gold coins are smaller and easier to carry...... So many nobles were willing to exchange it for gold coins. Del Valle sighed.

The timing of the other party's choice was too good, because Persia was defeated before this battle, so many great nobles were ready to run, and when they ran, gold coins were much better than silver coins, so many nobles exchanged silver coins for gold coins.

"According to what the other party said, according to the exchange ratio of Datang, pay the gold directly! I want 20,000 sets of armor in the other person's hand! "Isë III was ruthless.

"Yes! His Majesty the King. In this case, we pay a lot of gold. ”

"No matter how many, 20,000 sets of armor, with our original armor, I want to organize 30,000 elite troops." Isæ III sneered, "Tell Ostam that all the soldiers are to recruit farmers and then train them, give them money!" ”

"Yes!" Del Valle was a little confused, but didn't ask much.

What he didn't know was that Isë III had already made a decision in his heart, and when he trained 30,000 elite troops, whether he had money or not, those big nobles would have to pay! If they don't pay for it, the "Arabs" will have to "visit" their territories! After the Arabs visited, he Isai III went to purge these people!

Now that Persia is in such chaos, it is indispensable to these great nobles, but it is also an opportunity for him Isai III!

On December 30, 20 A.D. of the Tang Dynasty, almost a month before the Lunar New Year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke finished reading the battle report in his hand, and then stood up straight.

It has become a situation of confrontation between Arabia and Persia, and once it becomes a situation of confrontation, the Arab offensive will become difficult.

The most important thing is that all the 30,000 sets of armor brought by Li Ke were sold, 32 taels of gold, a total of 48 tons of gold, in addition, the arrows were sold for about 12 tons of gold, and then there was grain, and grain was sold for about 10 tons of gold here in Arabia.

In addition, a large amount of silk, tea, and porcelain were also produced to the Persian aristocracy. The war situation in Persia is stable, and the mentality of these nobles is naturally stable, the profits of these things are not too high, and after emptying all the goods in the cabin, Li Ke moved back about 117 tons of gold.

added up to a total of 187 tons of gold, all of which were made according to Datang's gold and silver exchange ratio, and Li Ke doubled the exchange rate alone.

The point is that Li Ke opened the beginning of trade, and the follow-up is all continuous profits.

He brought back 187 tons of gold at one time, and the total amount of silver that Ashilu exchanged was 2,200 tons, because he exchanged about 200 tons of gold.

In the later stage of this silver, Li Ke simply didn't let him redeem it, and all the silver was loaded on the ship, because a considerable part of Li Ke's gold was borrowed from the gate valve family, and after going back this time, he returned their silver.

Tsk, Persia will make a wave, and go back to Datang to make a wave by using the exchange ratio.

Left ten tons of gold for A Shilu, and a fraction of the silver was also thrown to him, and the total amount of gold and silver that Li Ke brought back was: 90 (A Shilu left) + 187 for a total of 277 tons of gold, plus 2,200 tons of silver.

Profit, Li Ke roughly calculated, when he came out, he had the cost of 300 tons of gold, borrowed about 200 tons, and returned 1,000 tons of silver to them after he went back. He still has 1,200 tons of silver left, plus 287 tons of gold, and then deducts the 100 tons of gold he originally made. This is 187 tons of gold plus 1,200 tons of silver, this is the basic profit, of course, it will need to be subdivided at that time, land, ports and so on.

Let's go, go home, go back and pretend to see Lao Li's face.
