Chapter 62 I want to develop!
In the evening, King Vitaru of Qule Kingdom organized a grand welcome banquet.
Welcome the little prince of Banqudanzeng from Tubo.
There is really a person in this Banqu Danzeng. According to the spy hidden in Tubo City, he was the youngest son of the fifth brother of the Tubo emperor before, and a little prince.
But perhaps it was because of the marriage of close relatives, I was a little dementia. I was in my twenties and had not yet started a family. I only played in the mansion all day long.
For Vitalu, he had no idea whether there was a little prince of Banqu Danzeng in Tubo. He only knew that the group of Tubo people who came here had no malice and brought a large number of valuable goods from Dakang to do business here in the Western Regions.
Although he couldn't eat much, if he could get a piece of the pie and let the little prince of Banqu Danzeng ship through this area in the future, that would be the best benefit.
He had no choice but to doubt it.
As soon as they started, they found a bottle of flower essential oil, then a pack of white sugar, and a pack of big white rabbit milk candy. After tasting and using it, Vitaru knelt without hesitation.
If such a good thing is not profitable, it is simply unforgivable!
No man or woman will miss these wonderful products.
Of course, the prerequisite is to have money.
A piece of soap sold in Dakang Jing only had a tael of silver, and five horses could be exchanged for in the Western Regions. Although the price difference was astonishingly large, others could not buy goods in Dakang, so they could only endure the pain and be slaughtered.
The fief of the little prince Banqu Danzeng is in Luobo City near Dakang. There is a river directly to Nanzhao, and then it can be connected with Dakang. Therefore, merchants from south to north are willing to pass by here.
From this, Prince Qu Danzeng can get a lot of Dakang's treasure products, but the price is not expensive.
For example, according to what he said, he could sell soap to Vitaru at a price of twenty taels of silver, and he could provide tens of thousands of yuan a year.
A piece of soap is worth fifty taels of silver when buying a piece of soap, but because this is Qule Country, if you sell it on the bustling main road of the Silk Road, you should be able to buy one for more than twenty taels.
Vitaru is not stupid, why did he go to those places to sell it?
He goes to other remote places to sell it. Isn’t it expensive to sell 30 taels per piece?
Anyone who has used soap knows how good it is for decontamination. During the Chinese New Year this year, Jimbabbeko once gave Vitaru the soap that he had left, which made him still savor it. He has never been so idle.
He wished that his princess and other concubines could use soap.
Fifty taels are indeed too expensive, but if you have thirty taels, you can still grit your teeth and buy a few dollars.
In this way, except for all costs, I will make 50,000 or 60,000 taels, right?
Not to mention that this is just the beginning.
If the little prince of Qu Danzeng leaks out a little in his hands in the future, then I will earn 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver a year, and it will be really a god who will never change it if he comes!
It was precisely because of this mentality that Vitalu spent a lot of money today to organize a singing and dancing troupe, slaughter a few sheep and cows, get some mountain delicacies, and bring a few jars of fine wine to entertain Liu Mingjing and others.
Speaking of which, this king is really miserable. There is not even a singing and dancing troupe in the palace, so I have to borrow it from several brothels in the city.
It was said that it was a palace, but in fact he lived in a slightly larger courtyard with five in and five out. There were only more than 100 guards in the palace, but he really didn't dare to raise too many. He didn't have that much money at all.
It would be a bit joking to say that Qule Kingdom said, "Are all the kings under the world? Any kings under the territories are the kings in the territories?"
Here, the king is just a bigger nobleman. The other nobles and ministers below all have their own strengths. Everyone is like living together, without any absolute rule or obedience.
Of course, there are many things like wild game in the mountains.
For example, snow Ganoderma lucidum, antelope, snow chicken, wild donkey, rat and rabbit... etc., many of them are never seen by Dakang, which made Liu Mingqi and the others eat their mouths full of oil and praise them.
In contrast, their wine is weaker, just like drinking a drink.
In general, such a welcome dinner was a joy for the guests and guests.
During this process, Vitalu and the others realized that although Liu Mingjing had a noble status, he was not very familiar with specific business and business. Instead, his military advisor Song Buma was in charge of business affairs.
So after the banquet, Jinbabelko invited Liu Mingqi to his mansion for tea.
The residence of Jimbabbeko is right next to the palace, with four in and four out of the courtyard. In terms of wealth, it is better than the palace.
On the other side of the palace is the mansion of Filiding, the general of Qule Kingdom. They are the three most powerful people in Qule Kingdom, and they are just close together, so they are guarding each other.
"Mr. Songbuma..."
After sitting down in the tea house, Jinbabelko smiled and said, "You have heard it today and saw that my country is indeed poor and the people are in poverty. Now, the little prince has finally passed by and wants to go to the Western Regions to do business. We are also eager to drink some soup with the little prince!"
"It's normal to have such an idea." Liu Mingqi drank the tea made by the snow lotus, not to mention it, it was a bit fragrant. "But if you don't have anything to exchange or capital, you may not be able to do business! We came here so far, but we are not here to help anyone! The little prince also wants to make a lot of money and inherit the throne after he goes back!"
"I understand, I understand!" Jinbabelko brought a box bigger than his head and handed it to him, "I would like to ask Lord Songbuma to give me some advice. I am grateful, I am grateful!"
Liu Mingqi was not polite either. She opened the box and found that there were 10 or 20 palm-sized brown wooden blocks placed inside... Well, it seems that it should be something similar to Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.?
Jinbabelko smiled and said, "Mr. Songbuma, this is our century-old snow Ganoderma. The most common one is over a hundred years. They are all good items after air-drying! After you take it back, cut off the two-finger size, soak it in warm water for three days, change a few more water, and then stew it with a little hen to ensure that you can kill all directions and be energetic the next day."
He said, and winked at Liu Mingqi.
So you understand the meaning of "killing all directions".
They are all men!
Liu Mingqi laughed and put away the box, "Prime Minister is so polite... Where did we talk about just now?"
Jinbabelko quickly followed up: "We really want to help the little prince gain a foothold here and do business well."
"Oh, this matter is actually not easy to deal with." Liu Mingqi said: "The key is that you still have to find out your unique characteristics before you can cooperate with our little prince."
“A unique feature?”
"Yes! It's what you did, but others can't."
Jimbabbeko thought about it and did not find any unique characteristics.
If you count thoroughly, it's one.
"Mr. Songbuma, I don't know what help do you think the little prince needs?" Jinbabelko changed his approach, "After all, you must have a place to help from Tubo here, right? If we can do it, please don't worry and tell us!"
"Prime Minister, your brain is quite flexible." Liu Mingqi said first, "When we come to the Western Regions, we must find a place where we can stay so that we can store materials and protect them from robbery."
"We can do this!"
Jinbabelko immediately patted his chest and promised: "You should use Qule City as a warehouse! We not only provide the best place, but also provide the best service and the best guarantee."
"Assure?"
Liu Mingqi looked at him with a smile, "Your little force and the weak combat power of wins are not required to rob the Western Qiang and Uighurs. Even if the countries of the Western Regions themselves are robbed, it is not possible, right?"
Jimbabbeko was a little embarrassed.
The boy said leisurely again: "Besides, your terrain is not good. If we want to build a warehouse, we will be on the Silk Road, such as Kucha, Quli, and even Yutian, are better than you, right?"
"But their good terrain also means greater risks!" Jinbabelko said: "Not to mention those countries, even the horse bandits active in the Western Regions will be salivating at these treasures, right? We are backed by Kunlun Mountain, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack!"
He is smart and knows how to use his strengths.
But Liu Mingqi did not let go, "This is not enough. You do not have the ability to protect yourself, nor the ability to transport goods... There are no troops escorting them all the way. Even if there are, it may not work if you encounter robbers, right?"
"Then what you mean is...we need to recruit more troops?train them more?" Jimbabbeko immediately reacted.
"If there is a strong army, of course it is a good thing." Liu Mingqi said, "But how you should cooperate and how to help us take root in the Western Regions, we still need to think about it carefully."
"grown ups……"
"No need to say it now." Liu Mingqi raised her hand and stopped him from speaking. "Anyway, there is still time, no hurry! It's not too late to wait until we return from the rest of the country."
"I see!"
Jimbabbeko knew that this was not enough of the conditions he had put forward.
But it doesn't matter. As long as they are willing to talk, there will be hope.
Even if it is not the main warehouse, as long as there is a batch of supplies on your side, Quleguo can attract merchants to come and do business.
As long as there are merchants, a prosperous market will gradually form, which will make Qule Country's life better and better.
I believe that the king will not be unable to see this trend, and will definitely give up more benefits to hold Qu Danzeng the little prince's thigh at work.
If he really can't see clearly, it's no big deal to change a king in Qule Kingdom. I believe most people will agree with their own opinions!
...
Recently, I have seen many masters saying that it is a bit too natural to throw a wooden grenade and a hell cocktail by throwing a hot air balloon.
But in the West, that's how they did it at the beginning, throwing it directly from the hot air balloon and bombing it.
Even in the early stages of the plane, the throwing hands, thunder/, bombs and bombs were attacked on the plane.
