Chapter Five Hundred and Three: Earning Crazy(1/2)
In order to purchase the magic porcelain, you can do anything.
Songtsen Gamphan's intentions are already very clear.
The temptation of Shen porcelain is too great, and you must purchase a large amount of money and try your best.
This puts great pressure on Liu Xiang.
Because... he found that Shuofang was actually not interested in Tubo.
Actually, this is understandable.
There is food in Shuofang, and it is said that it has piled up like mountains.
And it was not only Songtsen Gamphan who was selling it, but even the Tubo nobles were selling it privately.
Shuofang also needs cows and horses, but hundreds of thousands of heads have been sold, and these countless cows and horses have poured into Shuofang, which puts huge pressure on Shuofang.
The only ones who stayed on Tubo were left with some slow horses and old cows that were picked by Shuofang.
As for gold... a lot of it has been sold, but a large amount of gold has also plummeted.
Most of the slaves were tribes that were defeated by the Tubo people. However, Shuofang was also more picky and they didn’t want old women. In addition, they only had their prime.
All of these people entered the mines and followed the Turkic slaves to mine minerals crazily.
After thinking about it, there was not much to sell in the entire Tubo.
However, Songtsen Gamphan urged him to get money, and even warned him that if he couldn't get money, it might have a great impact on Liu Xiang's future cooperation with Tubo.
After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Xiang finally came up with an idea. He immediately gave Songtsen Gamphan a quick horse, expressing the Tang Dynasty's desire for the land of Hexi.
This Hexi land is located in Xiazhou, with abundant water and plants. Moreover, because it is located in the Qilian Mountains, there is an area that is particularly suitable for cultivating grain. It is understandable that the Han people in Shuofang are coveting this.
For Tubo, this area was seized from Tuyuhun two years ago. The population of the Tubo people was not large. Over the years, they used troops to invade the land of Dangxiang, Bailan and Tuyuhun. For the Tubo people, this rapid expansion of territory was difficult to produce at ease. This Hexi land was just a useless person to Tubo.
But if you pledge this to Erpigou Money House, the valuation of Erpigou Money House will be at least more than one million yuan.
This is a huge amount of funds, enough to allow the Tubo Kingdom to continue to invest in the Shenpian porcelain.
Of course... there has been no such transaction in the world. Liu Xiang didn't know Songtsen Gamphan's intentions, but he just thought... he might as well give it a try.
It's better than being completely helpless and not having any constructive advice at all.
The memorial was sent to Songtsen Gamphan Khan, and the entire Tubo Kingdom had begun fierce discussions.
Some people believe that although the land in Hexi cannot be developed, it is a pity for Tubo to eat it without food and abandon it. However, once the Han people invade it, it will inevitably become a major concern for Tubo in the future.
Some people also believe that buying fine porcelain is the most important thing at this time. The countries of India and Nibharu also have the intention to buy fine porcelain. Tubo can gain profits whether it is hoarding or reselling.
The two sides were quarreling.
Songtsen Gamphan just smiled. In order to resolve the dispute, he made an action and summoned the prince of the Nibora Kingdom and immediately asked: "If I were willing to exchange hundreds of fine porcelain for the northern part of the Nibora Kingdom mountain, would it be?"
The prince seemed very hesitant, and for a moment he was speechless.
The land in the north of the mountain is a useless rib for the Nibora Kingdom. If this fine porcelain can really increase wealth continuously, it may not be a hot commodity for the Nibora Kingdom.
Moreover, he has sent Zhu Wenye's Sanskrit version of the article to Nibharu, and many people in Nibharu seem to be very enthusiastic about it.
So the prince replied honestly: "I was hesitant and didn't know what to do."
Songtsen Gamphan was overjoyed: "This is the answer I want. The Nibora Kingdom hesitated because of hundreds of divine porcelains. If I added a few hundred more, I might agree. What is the point of useless land if it cannot bring wealth growth? We Tubo used troops everywhere and killed countless warriors in battle. The wealth we obtained was not as much as the benefits brought by the divine porcelain. Today we can abandon a mere Hexi. As long as we become stronger in the future, we can still regain the land of Hexi. I need countless divine porcelains to make good friends with the countries of India, and also need divine porcelain to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Now... the answer is obvious. In the future... I can even use divine porcelain to purchase the fertile land of India... and ordered Liu Xiang to have a good talk with the Shuofang people."
People have different concepts of land. For thousands of years, the Han people have had a kind of attachment to land like their children and mothers. They regard any piece of land as the kindness of their ancestors, so any transaction with land is regarded as rebellious and unacceptable.
However, in the land of Tubo and Hexi, in just a few hundred years, there have been countless owners, and the land is just the simplest property for them.
So, the two sides began tense consultations.
The conditions proposed by Shuofang are very simple. Although it is pledge, during the pledge period, that is, before the Tubo people pay the debt, they must withdraw from the land in Hexi, while Shuofang is responsible for custody.
After hesitating, the Tubo people decided to withdraw their troops, but some of the Tubo people who had arrived could stay in Hexi.
The funds provided by Shuofang were borrowing 1.15 million jin, and there was no more copper coins.
After hesitating for a while, Tubo finally chose to accept it.
...
When the news reached the Chen family, Chen Zhengtai felt that many things had been ruined by these Tubo people.
A very fine porcelain foam actually leveraged the entire Western Regions pattern.
What else can I say about such a good thing? I waved my hand and approved it immediately!
Immediately, he demanded that a wooden track should be immediately leading to Hexi and connected to Shuofang. He also required that the construction must be completed within half a year.
Wait until next year, gradually replace the rails.
In addition... a large number of people need to be attracted to Hexi.
To put it bluntly, there is only one... to pay for money to settle.
Anyone who settles in Hexi will be given ten cents of money, good varieties, cattle and horses...
Shuofang now has cows and horses.
If a slave goes with his master, he will give him a hundred kilograms of food.
This is almost a bare-nosed money.
The land there is fertile and is the best pasture and land in the world. The land that you have reclaimed will belong to the people who have cleared the land. If the pasture can be enclosed, the ownership of this pasture will also belong to the person.
As soon as this news came out, many people began to try.
Of course... for Chen Zhengtai, this is just a temporary agreement. Although he has given 1.15 million guan, who knows whether the Tubo people will take back the battle in the future?
Therefore, this is almost equivalent to a race of time. Whether we can completely occupy the land of Hexi before we completely turn against each other is the top priority.
In order to enrich the population, Chen Zhengtai waved his hand and built a city!
A city under the Qilian Mountains was built, which was not below the Shuofang scale and was ready-made, so it was called Xining.
The biggest advantage of building a city is that, in addition to the Chen family spending money, not only will a huge city rise up, but also...
Because of building a city, countless craftsmen and laborers are needed to recruit Hexi, and countless workshops are needed to provide guarantees nearby. When merchants see profitable, they will also recruit a large number of people to go there!
If a single city is built, the population required is more than tens of thousands.
After the city is built, it can become a barrier. With the city, there will be commercial activities, a large amount of nearby grain will accumulate in the barn, and many professions will be derived.
This is of great benefit to quickly attracting the population and introducing a large amount of labor.

Of course, the only disadvantage is spending money, and spending a lot of money.
But now... the Chen family is already full of money.
Chen Zhengtai was already racking his brains to start projects that he never dared to think about before. This is just a sleepy thing, someone gave him a pillow.
Chen Zhengtai claims to build the fourth largest city in the world, and the funds invested are unlimited.
The reason why I shouted the slogan of the fourth largest city is because the largest city is Chang'an, this... well, he can't afford to offend him.
The second city is the eastern capital Luoyang, which is a bit sensitive even beyond Luoyang. Today, the third largest city is the Jiangdu Yangzhou, which is also the place of another palace, so it is inevitable that it is suspected of usurpation.
Except for the above three cities, the rest... of course, I don’t even look at it.
As soon as the news came out, countless merchants began to move. If they didn’t go to Hexi to find opportunities, the competition between Chang'an and Shuofang is so fierce, how can they make a lot of money?
The sixty or 70,000 manpower required to build a road and city... was an urgent gap. For a moment, the price of manpower was increasing almost everywhere in the world, and many workshops... in order to retain people, they had to pay higher salaries.
The craftsmen and laborers suddenly felt that they had a much better life. In the past, they were asking for workshops, but now... they have a new place to go, and even speak louder than before.
I was really angry. At worst, I could go to Hexi for a few years, and the salary was higher. If I took a step back, I would move to Hexi and get ten cents of money.
At this time... the Tubo people had already obtained a huge amount of funds, and at this moment, they were already crazy about buying Jingci.
The Tubo people have no strategy to talk about. They have no buying cycle and do not play any fancy business methods with you. They just buy!
Whenever there is a fine porcelain on the market, they often rush over like a reckless man, just buy it, you can offer a price!
This suddenly... it really went crazy.
Chen Zhengtai is a little angry. If this continues, it will be great? Now new players have appeared in the market, commonly known as new leeks. The most terrifying thing about this game is that as long as the leeks are not cut, the essence porcelain will only have the possibility of rising.
But... let him go.
However, the price of this fine porcelain is rising steadily, as if he is trying to beat Chen Zhengtai's face every day.
So much so that Chen Zhengtai was taken out every now and then, laughing and scolding.
Chen Zhengtai seemed to disappear all of a sudden and ignored it.
At this time, Zhu Wenye had become a household name.
When people mention him, they always feel awe.
It seems like he has become a master of economics, and the people who come to visit every day are like crucian carp trees crossing the river.
At first, Zhu Wenye would be polite, but later he found that there were too many people, so he directly set rules. If you are below the second grade, you won’t see me, so you can get away.
But today... a few strange guests came.
To be continued...
