Let’s take a look at his reality and then talk about it. Hu Xiaotian deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Greater!”

Zan Buliu said: "Now, no one in the countries around Dakang dares to trade food and grass with Dakang."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Sir, don't you say that the greater the risk, the greater the profit. Businessmen put profit first. Would you rather miss this great opportunity?"

Zan Buli smiled and said, "The eating habits are very different in different regions. The south of the Yongjiang River is mainly rice, and the north of the Yongjiang River is mainly pasta and grain. Going north, crossing the Great Wall, and when they reach the territory of the Hu people and Tula people, their staple food is beef and mutton. What the Moli people often eat is a kind of potato shaped like a beef and a beef and mutton."

Hu Xiaotian heard that Zan Buliu said this and understood that what Zan Buliu said must be potatoes. If Zan Buliu had not mentioned this matter, Hu Xiaotian had almost ignored it. He had never seen any potatoes, tomatoes and other things in today's era. In an era when sea transportation was still not developed enough, news from various countries was relatively closed, and economic and trade would be subject to geographical restrictions. Zan Buliu could be said to wake up the dreamer. In the eyes of the Central Plains, wheat and rice are the staple foods that the people rely on for their livelihood. In fact, there are many ways to solve the food problem of the people. Although Da Yong secretly restricted the grain trade between the countries around Da Kang and Da Kang, all economic and trade exchanges in Da Kang were not prohibited, and this should be considered an ancient economic sanction.

Hu Xiaotiandao: "Mr. Zan is sure to get food? ∈↗Chang∈↗Feng∈↗Wen↗Wen↗Study, c≥fwx"

Zan Buliu said: "I dare not say that I am 100% sure, nor dare to say that I can solve the huge holes facing Dakang in terms of food. But Zan should have some ability to transport some grains that Dakang did not explicitly prohibit it to Dakang."

Hu Xiaotian smiled and looked at Zanbuliu and said, "Have you ever thought about if these things are leaked..."

Zan Buliu said, "So Zan cannot come forward. Da Yong's intention to annex Da Kang is known to everyone in the world, but if the world is unified, it may not be a good thing for us businessmen."

Hu Xiaotian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said without saying a word: "I would like to hear it carefully."

Zan Buliu said: "In fact, both in Dayong and Dakang, merchants have no status. The royal family values ​​not you, but your wealth and wealth. As long as they encounter something, they will always reach out to you. If you donate generously, you will be patriotic and loyal to the emperor. Otherwise, you will have a different ambition." He smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of the superiors, we merchants are no different from pigs and sheep, and we are fattened and slaughtered. When they want to use it, they can do it."

Hu Xiaotian agreed, but in fact, isn’t the case with the Xu family in Jinling? In the eyes of the Dakang royal family, the Xu family in Jinling is undoubtedly a big fat sheep, and now they have sharpened their knives.

Zanbuli said, "Although Zan is in Dayong, I am from Kang. My ancestors were also an official in Dakang. Although they had no great achievements and were not famous in history, they were indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and even sacrificed their lives for Dakang. Dayong said that in the past, it was also part of Dakang. Xue Jiurang, the founding monarch of Dakang, was actually just a rebel general of Dakang."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan wants to help Dakang?"

Zan Buli said, "Da Kang has been exhausted. Although Zan has no vision, this matter can be seen clearly. Since Da Kang will sooner or later become a fatty meat in the mouths of others, why don't we seize the opportunity to take a few more bites and eat ourselves before others start to take action?"

Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing. He was a businessman or a traitor, and Zan Buliu was called a model. He nodded and said, "What do you think of Mr. Zan?"

Zanbuli said, "Heihu, Tula, and Moli have had business dealings. I am sure to get the food you need from them. You can buy cattle, sheep and horses from Heihu, Tula. These are foods. You can buy potatoes from Moli. Although they are not as good as rice and wheat. At least they can resist hunger. Of course, I will not come forward, but I have the ability to organize these foreign merchants to Dakang to operate."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if you can organize these things, how can you transport these goods into Dakang? The journey is long, and it may take multiples of time to bypass Dakang." Although Zan Buliu's proposal is quite attractive, it is not realistic to think about it carefully. Taking Heihu as an example, Heihu and Dakang border, and the shortest way to do business with Heihu is through Dakang, which will take at least three months, not to mention a detour. Even if you transport the food to Dakang, you are afraid that the famine in Dakang has already broken out.

Zan Buliu said: "If the business is long-term, it will certainly not solve the urgent problem if you buy it from the local area. But Lord Hu should not forget that there are many Heihu merchants in Dayong. If all these businessmen know that Dakang is willing to buy food with a lot of money, then they will flock to it."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you think Emperor Da Yong would sit idly by and watch this phenomenon?"

Zanbuli said, "Master Hu probably doesn't know that because of the fourth prince of Heihu, His Majesty has just signed an agreement with Heihu people, mainly for Heihu merchants. He promised to give Heihu merchants the best treatment and will not interfere with Heihu people going south to do business through Da Yong." He paused and said, "Heihu and Da Kang used to have a feud with each other. After Da Yong, Da Kang and Heihu were separated by Da Yong. It can be said that Da Yong has resisted a lot of war for Da Kang. Over the past century, there has been few trade exchanges between Heihu and Da Kang. I am willing to build this bridge for the two countries."

Hu Xiaotian understood Zan Buliu’s true intention after hearing this. He wanted to help Dakang and Heihu join economic alliance and jointly deal with the increasingly powerful Dakong. The only possibility of doing such a thing as a Dakong citizen is that he wanted to be unfavorable to Dakong. It is hard to say whether his starting point is to help Dakang. However, one thing Hu Xiaotian could conclude is that Zan Buliu is likely to be a Black Hu spy.

Hu Xiaotian said: "What benefits can you get from it?"

Zan Buliu said: "I will not hide it from Lord Hu, the Heihu people have obtained 30% of the benefits."

Hu Xiaotianxin said that you are so dark and do nothing. Just be a middleman and take away 30% of the profits. In the final analysis, Dakang is still a scam. The goods sent by the Heihu people will undoubtedly take the opportunity to sell them at a high price. However, in this situation, Dakang cannot buy food even if he has money, otherwise he would not think about going south to Luosong to open up this Liangyun trade route. If he opens the sea route to the south and can trade with the Heihu people to the north, it is worth it even if he buys some food at a high price. If a person who is about to starve to death, he will be willing to let him move a mountain of gold and exchange for a steamed bun.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zan just do it with confidence, and Hu will definitely provide Mr. All the conveniences possible."

After seeing Zan Buliu, Hu Xiaotian turned around and returned home, he met Yang Lingqi, who had been completely refreshed. Yang Lingqi was wearing a green Confucian shirt. Although his figure was a little thin, his eyebrows were beautiful and had only a literati's elegance. Seeing Hu Xiaotian, Yang Lingqi hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Yang and I don't have to be so polite. What's wrong? Are you still used to living here?"

Yang Lingqi said: "With the care of Lord Hu, Lingqi was so grateful."

Hu Xiaotian said: "You're so polite! I've encountered a lot of things these two days, otherwise I'd gone to see Brother Yang long ago."

Yang Lingqi said: "What happened to Lord Hu? I wonder if Lingqi can share your worries?"

Hu Xiaotian knew that he was resourceful and had a superlative view of the general trend of the world, so he asked him to sit down at the stone table in the yard and whispered: "Last night, civil unrest occurred in the Dakang imperial tomb, and 50,000 workers rebelled. The emperor was furious and sent troops to chase him. He had issued a killing order, which made the tide of the wind and panic. He was so nervous."

Yang Lingqi said: "The world is the one who wins the hearts of the people. However, the emperor does this to push the people farther and farther away. Weirdly, he shouldn't have done this. He has fallen so much before, why haven't he learned a lesson from it?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm afraid I'm so confused."

Yang Lingqi said: "What the adults saw in the court are different from what we see."

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you mean I am confused by the authorities?"

Yang Lingqi said: "That's not what he meant. What His Majesty did after the restoration shows that he still wanted to bring Dakang out of the quagmire. For example, he still appointed these old ministers in the court, and was not in a hurry to hold him accountable for betraying his ministers in the past. For example, he took out a lot of gold and silver in his private warehouse and exempted a lot of taxes. How much time has passed? Why did it suddenly become like this again?" Yang Lingqi frowned and was puzzled.

Hu Xiaotian said: "He was originally moody. When he was restored, he wanted to win people's hearts. Now that the throne is stable, he immediately resurfaced and even became more aggressive in exploiting the people."

Yang Lingqi said: "He can't be useless when he is in power for so many years. He has also done something that is beneficial to Dakang, but what Lord Hu said is possible, but I always feel that there is another possibility."

Hu Xiaotian blinked: "I hope to hear it carefully!"

Yang Lingqi said: "I wonder if Lord Hu has noticed that the emperor rarely appears in public, and many things are done by King Yongyang."

Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor is not energetic and he is not interested in political affairs, so he handed over the government to the King of Yongyang for help."

Yang Lingqi said: "It's not just this reason. Although I don't know anything about the King of Yongyang, since the emperor can be assured to teach Dakang's government affairs to her, this fourteen-year-old girl must have extraordinary ability. Although the emperor handed over the power to her, the King of Yongyang's age and experience were not enough to convince the public. Lord Hu may not have noticed that the King of Yongyang personally issued orders several times that benefited the people. In fact, the Emperor can do these things himself, but he still gave the opportunity to win the hearts of the people to the King of Yongyang. This proves that the Emperor is supporting King of Yongyang and establishing her prestige in the hearts of his subjects!"
