"A good thing?" Liu Huaixu said a little puzzled.

"Yes, do you have frequent transactions with the Houyuan Tartars now?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Liu Huaixu shook his head and said: "Not much, most of us still trade with the Western Regions, and now the business routes in the Western Regions are relatively stable, and they are basically safe." There was still a lot of risk in the process of trading on the side of the Later Yuan Tartars, who often plundered caravans. Therefore, the merchants on our side rarely trade with the Later Yuan Tartars. Even if it is traded, it will not go deep into the Houyuan, but only at the agreed place close to the border, and the volume of the transaction is not large. ”

Lin Xiqi nodded.

The Hou Yuan Tartars were predatory, and it was not so easy to get them to pay money with one hand and deliver goods with the other.

Especially when you see beautiful good things, why not grab them?

"I think you can step up the trade with the Tartars. Lin Xiqi said, "It's best to trade tea and silk, which are the favorite things of the upper echelons of the Later Yuan Tartars, in large quantities in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses on the Tartar side." ”

Liu Huaixu's heart moved, and said, "My lord, do you want Yin Tartar?"

"Yin Tartar?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"Isn't it?" Liu Huaixu said, "a large amount of cattle and sheep on the Tartar side, once the Tartar side encounters a snow disaster, I am afraid that many people will starve to death." In this way, many of the Tartars' men and horses were eliminated without going through war. ”

Lin Xiqi's eyes lit up and said, "Why didn't I think of it?"

"Huh?" Liu Huaixu asked suspiciously, "Isn't that what my lord meant?"

"I just thought that those high-class people of the Later Yuan Tartars were squandering their money and loved the exquisite silk and porcelain of the Central Plains, as long as these extravagant and hedonistic things were transported over, those Tartar nobles would definitely buy them on a large scale, and those cattle, sheep, horses, and furs would be sold to us cheaply, so that we could make a lot of money from them. Lin Xiqi said, "I just thought that it was to earn benefits from the Tartars, but it was not as far as you thought. ”

"So, I reminded the adults?" Liu Huaixu said with a smile.

"Yes, you reminded me. Lin Xiqi said excitedly.

"There's still a problem. Liu Huaixu said.

"What's the problem?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"As I just said, after the caravans on this side of Great Xia enter the desert steppe, many of them will be sacked by the Tartars. Liu Huaixu said, "Don't talk about making money when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be a loss." Liu Huaixu said.

"You can use any means. Lin Xiqi said.

"Any means?" Liu Huaixu pondered for a moment.

"There is nothing to be afraid of trading with the Houyuan Tartars. Lin Xiqi said, "The officials on the side of the Houyuan Tartars, the tribal leaders, try to spend as much money as possible." You can also cultivate your own forces in the Later Yuan Tartars, and sell these things through them. In fact, many businesses here in Great Xia are also doing this, officials and businessmen collude, but they are in the territory of Great Xia, and you don't bother to do it. ”

Liu Huaixu was silent, of course she knew such a thing.

Many firms in the Central Plains are in collusion with local governments or local governments, and they control local firms and do not allow foreign firms to enter, and outsiders can only sell goods to them in order to obtain more profits.

"I see. Liu Huaixu nodded.

What she did in Great Xia was quite subtle, such as giving tolls, but she didn't occupy a state and a county like those people.

With Lin Xiqi's current power, she can completely use the monopoly of Liangzhou's transactions.

But she didn't, it's not her style.

For the Houyuan Tartars, it is a little inappropriate to do this by himself.

These businesses don't have a very good way to rob the Tartars, even if there are dart guards, it is not very safe, and the officials who can cure the Tartars still have to find the Tartars.

"If it can be successful, maybe after a few years, the power of the Later Yuan Tartars will at least be weakened a lot, which is a great thing for us in Liangzhou and for the people in the border states. Lin Xiqi said.

"Not necessarily, but it may also be more provoking the predatory habits of the Tartars. Liu Huaixu said, "In order to maintain their own enjoyment, they can do anything." ”

"But there will also be huge contradictions within the Tartars. Lin Xiqi said, "Those nobles of the Tartars will definitely oppress the tribal herdsmen below, and when the time comes, the people below will starve to death and freeze to death, even if they are mobilized, how many people can be mobilized? Maybe some people will rebel." ”

"Well, overall, the pros outweigh the cons. Liu Huaixu said, "In order to achieve the goal that adults want as soon as possible, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the 'Quartet Firm' alone, and I need to unite with some other firms." ”

"You can look at this matter, these businesses have money to make, and they won't be tempted. Lin Xiqi smiled, "Besides, more people are easier to do." ”

Lin Xiqi knew very well that these businesses would never let go of such an opportunity.

As long as they support Liangzhou, so that they have no worries, they will definitely develop the business of Houyuan.

The transaction with Hou Yuan is actually very profitable, for example, when a piece of silk arrives in Hou Yuan in the Central Plains, the price can be increased by at least ten times or even dozens of times.

The nobles of the Later Yuan Tartars still could not refuse these extravagant and exquisite things.

This is also knowing that they will be plundered, and there will be a small number of caravans that will take the risk of trading with the Later Yuan Tartars.

The same was true of those caravans going to the Western Regions back then, and the Western Regions were also full of risks.

There are huge business opportunities in the midst of risk.

"Cattle and sheep may be easy to trade, but horses and Tartars are still very important, and they are not very traded. Liu Huaixu said.

There was still a shortage of horses on the part of Great Xia, and most of the horse breeds were not as good as the Tartars, and the horses of the Tartars had the upper hand when the two sides fought.

In addition, the Tartars have grown up on horseback since he was a child, and he is skilled in riding and shooting, which is incomparable to the officers and soldiers of Daxia.

If you can get a horse with a Tartar, it is to strengthen yourself and weaken your opponent.

"Take your time. Lin Xiqi said, "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." When the time comes, these Tartar officials just don't want to sell their horses. ”

"Yes. Liu Huaixu nodded.

"Do you have anything else?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"I just came from Sister Yushu's side. Liu Huaixu said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiqi's face changed slightly: "That girl shouldn't have told you, right?"

"Don't worry, she just told me, I won't leak it, I know it's your life. Liu Huaixu said.

Lin Xiqi knew that they had a good relationship, and they exchanged all kinds of news and shared secrets with each other a lot of time.

Liu Huaixu went to Sun Yushu's side, and Sun Yushu would definitely tell her about going to the hinterland of the Tartars.

"I know you've decided, and you won't change it. Liu Huaixu said, "I can't prepare a hidden weapon for you like Sister Yushu, I just hope you can be careful and come back safely." ”

"Don't worry. Lin Xiqi smiled, "There are so many people in Liangzhou who still have to wait for me, I will definitely be careful." You just need to take care of the business and that's the biggest help for me. ”

"You don't have to worry about the merchant. Liu Huaixu said.

"That's good. Lin Xiqi stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Huai.

Liu Huaixu exclaimed, and his body was pulled into Lin Xiqi's arms.

"Don't. Liu Huaixu pushed resistantly.

Lin Xiqi sat on the chair with his buttocks, and then hugged Liu Huaixu and pressed it on his legs.

"Can't~~" Liu Huaixu held down Lin Xiqi's moving hands.
