Thinking about that scene, Li Han stood up and quietly went to Cao Ying's side.

Even such a stupid guy couldn't handle it... Cao Ying glanced at him and felt a little contempt in her heart.

"After this genocide, many people in the Jibo tribe have a good impression of Taiping." Yang Xuan introduced the situation, "Taiping only has this strength. If they want to compete with the Waxie tribe, they can only use both soft and hard tactics."

Cao Ying nodded, "After this time, businessmen will regard Taiping as a holy place in their hearts, but the supply of goods in Taiping is still too small. In addition, Lang Jun, should we do some business ourselves? After all, those furs are quite good, and there are still

Cheap."

"How do you want to do it?"

"I think Taiping will collect all the furs first, and then sell them to those Datang merchants, who will transport them back to Datang for sale. In this way, we can make money just by changing hands."

"What a great idea." The old thief praised, "He is indeed a wise man."

Being a second-tier dealer is the easiest thing to worry about. Production has nothing to do with me, and sales have nothing to do with me either. I just hoard goods.

"Lao Cao."

"exist."

"You have a good idea."

"But you forgot one thing."

"Please give me instructions."

"What are we? We are the government. What are the responsibilities of the government? Govern, control, supervise, but don't get involved."

"Lang Jun, all levels of government in the Tang Dynasty are lending money."

"I know this."

Governments at all levels in the Tang Dynasty had insufficient funds, so they looked for some wealthy people in the local area and asked them to lend money. These people were called Qiantou. The interest earned from the loans was used for the consumption of canteens and various expenses.

Yang Xuan hated the government's usury, but he couldn't speak at this moment, otherwise he would offend the officials all over the world.

"We are the arbiters. Besides, Lao Cao, don't just focus on superficial things. As long as Taiping's city gate remains open and Taiping's attitude towards trade remains unchanged, we can make a lot of money."

"Yes." Cao Ying was a little disappointed, feeling that Yang Xuan was too reserved.

"Besides, don't think that trade is just about businessmen making money."

Yang Xuan thought for a while, and Li Han saw the old thief taking out a pamphlet and charcoal, and staring at Yang Xuan attentively.

"Those merchants came to Taiping from all over the world and spent all their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city. Do you still remember that there were only four merchants in the city?"

"Remember."

"How many are there now?"

"Now... I'm afraid there are hundreds of them."

"Those merchants spend money in these more than 100 merchants, and the merchants pay taxes, and they also have to purchase and hire... Are there still many idle people in the city now?"

"Not much more."

Cao Ying was startled. He felt that what Lang Jun said was scattered, but there was something shocking in it.

"Businessmen come to Taiping to spend money, and Taiping merchants take over their expenses, so they hire people to work, and those people will get wages. After they get the wages, they will spend money, and the merchants will get money again.

They will continue to purchase, continue to hire, and continue to pay taxes...Old Cao, this is a cycle."

Yang Xuan got up and went in. He was tired and ready to catch up on his sleep.

Outside, everyone was silent.

The old thief muttered words and kept recording them.

Zhang Siniang stood waiting on the side. She didn't understand, but she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that even the most knowledgeable Mr. Cao and Li Han were deep in thought.

Lang Jun's words can make them rack their brains to think, which shows that his methods are much smarter than them.

The girl's mind gradually wandered...

It seems that Lang Jun has a woman he likes in Chang'an. Yi Niang said that Lang Jun will have many women in the future, and I am one of them, right?

Um!

It must be.

But what is that woman from Chang'an like, what is her temperament, and is she a strong rival?

Yi Niang said that I am beautiful, but what about that woman?

No matter how beautiful she is, my husband is very affectionate, and I have always been by his side, close to the water! By the time she came to him, I had already occupied an important position in his heart.

Zhang Siniang laughed, like a little fox that had just succeeded in stealing a chicken.

Cao Ying raised her head, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, "Businessmen keep coming, more and more, and there will be more and more merchants in the city. They will naturally do the transit business we want to do."

"They will hire more and more people, and the population in Taiping City is naturally not enough. They will find ways to recruit people from other places, so the population in the city will become more and more..." Li Han said.

"The city will expand, taxes will increase, and people's lives will get better and better." Cao Ying glanced at Li Han.

"With more taxes, more warriors can be recruited, and the army will become stronger and stronger." Li Han nodded reservedly.

"Those grassland merchants want peace. The Waxie tribe, which seems extremely powerful at the moment, will become an empty frame that is powerful on the outside but powerless on the inside."

"Those merchants will break them up within Vashe."

"Yes, there is no need to spend a penny on peace."

"This is business."

Li Han and the old thief both thought of what Yang Xuan said before entering the city, and wondered what would happen if other countries used such methods in the Tang Dynasty?

The old thief shuddered.

"Businessmen cannot suppress it, but businessmen must control it!"

Li Han figured it out.

"This point of view is very novel. I have never heard those scholars mention it before in Chang'an."

"Those learned people don't bother to think about businessmen." Cao Ying smiled contemptuously.

"Yes! In their eyes, businessmen are only interested in profit, and they only need to suppress them."

"But Lang Jun feels that businessmen are the foundation of strong peace."

It cannot be suppressed, but it must be controlled.

"If we continue to develop according to Zitai's idea, within a few years, Taiping will become the most dazzling pearl in northern Xinjiang." Li Han stood up, "I have to write a letter back."

Although he hated his father, his grandfather was kind to him.

Yang Xuan's idea of ​​Taiping made his heart beat. He thought about it carefully and felt that this idea seemed vague, but it firmly captured the hearts of businessmen. If the process is well controlled, it is very likely to be realized.

In this case, let's ask my grandfather if he is willing to expand the family business to northern Xinjiang.

Cao Ying was still sitting there, with various thoughts swirling in her mind, when she suddenly let out a loud roar.

"What's the fuss about?" Yi Niang yelled, "Mr. Lang is taking a rest, why are you crying like a wolf?"

Cao Ying laughed dryly, and then said proudly: "I am so proud!"

Yi Niang asked: "What are you proud of?"

Cao Ying said: "I have always thought that Lang Jun will attack the Waxie tribe, and I have made preparations for it. Every month, I will save some money and food, and ask people to buy medicinal materials and cloth, just waiting for Lang Jun to say

With the order, the Taiping Army attacked. But today I found out that Lang Jun never thought of fighting head-on with the Waxie people."

The old thief collected the pamphlet and said with satisfaction: "The man seems to be using what he calls a soft knife to kill people."

"More than that." Cao Ying said: "Lang Jun first said that he should be wary of the ambitions of merchants, analyzed the merchants' thoughts, and then talked about the usefulness of merchants. Merchants can make me peaceful, and they can also divide Vashe from within. In this way, one step at a time

When it comes out, things will gradually change between Vashe and Taiping.”

"What changes?"

"Taiping is getting stronger and stronger, and Vashe is getting weaker and weaker."

Yang Xuan in the room yawned, "I never expect my opponent to become weaker. I only think about how I can become stronger."

When the news that Taiping sent troops to avenge the merchants and provided pensions to the families of the deceased spread more and more widely, the grassland merchants set up carts, drove cattle and sheep, and came to Taiping in an endless stream.

Yang Xuan was invited to the city wall by the anxious Cao Ying.

"Mr. Sir, please take a look."

Outside the city, there were herds of cattle and sheep, and from time to time some cattle and sheep would run into other groups. The two merchants would quarrel for a while, and even fight.

"More and more goods are being delivered from the grassland, but there are too few merchants in Datang."

"No one buys cattle or sheep?"

"Yes, they are flocking to us, but they don't bring enough money." Cao Ying said, "Lang Jun, Taiping needs more and more powerful Tang Dynasty businessmen."

"I'll find a way."

Yang Xuan walked down the city wall and said, "I'm going to Lin'an."

"What are you going to do, Mr. Lang?"
