Chapter 925: The Great Song Dynasty Commodities Best in the World
When he arrived at Datong Prefecture, he was not far from Beijing City of Peking Prefecture. Zhao Zhen suddenly became anxious. Who would dare to decide Ling'er's future without his own will? As long as he was not afraid of the thunderous wrath from the emperor!
The more you are at this time, the less you should be anxious. You can see clearly when you stand outside, and you will feel panicked when you get to yourself. For Zhao Zhen, his love for Ling'er's eldest daughter is not something that ordinary people can understand. This is the first time he has been a parent in two lives. After that, Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun have felt different.
He just wants to spoil his daughter, and he wants to give her the best thing in the world. If the moon can be picked off, Zhao Zhen will take it off for his daughter without hesitation. However, Zhao Zhen does not have such strong feelings for Wang Yuyan and even Vera himself.
Looking at the direction of Beijing City, Zhao Zhen smiled. This is the reason for his confusion! Let's leave Yelujia first. Without his own will, he dare not leave. Now he should take a good look at how the Datong Prefecture is going to be. For so many years, Datong Prefecture has been a place for trading in the Song, Xia and Liao countries, and is also equivalent to an open city in later generations.
The trade here is so high, the merchants are so numerous, and the goods are so dazzling. Even Zhao Zhen, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, was so rich that he was dazzled in the scene. The most exquisite ones were those porcelains exported to Europe. It can be said that these porcelains that combine Western traditional colors or religious colors are exquisite in shape and gorgeous in color, which is not inferior to the blue and white porcelains of the Song Dynasty.
Especially those shapes with large curves and exaggerated carvings, Zhao Zhen felt that although they were a little exaggerated, they had to be said to be very eye-catching. If he was a nobleman of Europa, he naturally hoped to use this beautiful and exaggerated porcelain to entertain guests.
Merchants fully consider the needs of customers and thus create corresponding products. This is an improvement, but Zhao Zhen immediately saw a shocked phenomenon and was confident that after the Western Xia returned to the Song Dynasty, all merchants found business opportunities and they had begun to prepare for the sale of goods to Europe!
The surrender of Xixia means that the Silk Road, which has been cut off for many years, is about to begin. This powerful economic artery that crosses the Asia-Europe Great Six will connect the world's continuous wealth, and the same is true for the exchange of existence or not.
The Song Dynasty had already opened a relatively safe and complete maritime Silk Road, which had existed since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Similarly, this great emperor also sent envoys to open up the Silk Road on the road, which is now being continued and developed in the hands of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen kept observing these goods that were about to be sold to West Asia or Europe. While he was clever, he also used them, including gloves with crosses, teapots with painted prophecies, tea cups, etc....
This is simply a product tailor-made for Europeans. It will definitely be a best-seller in Europe, but if you go to West Asia, you may not be able to sell anything and will be regarded as blasphemy of the supreme Allah.
What surprised Zhao Zhen the most was that these sellers were actually just selling goods. They would not travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to Europe or Central Asia. They would only place the goods here to buy them to merchants with fleets or motorcades, and sell them to the distance.
Even so, the prices of these goods are already very high, which can only explain one problem. After these goods are sold to Europe or Central Asia, the prices will definitely surprise me, otherwise there would not be such a high price.
Here, we can not only see merchants from the Song Dynasty, but also white-skinned Europeans and Western Asians with headscarves. They also began to go to the Song Dynasty to purchase goods and take them back to their hometowns to buy them. The benefits will only be higher than those of merchants from the Song Dynasty and will not be able to bottom out.
After buying goods in the Song Dynasty, these people would buy them at a higher price when they returned to their hometowns, because the goods of merchants in the Song Dynasty were always in short supply and were sold out quickly, and there was no need to increase the price. These people often started selling after the merchants in the Song Dynasty left. Needless to say, the prices were not bad at all, and they did not feel guilty about making more money from their compatriots. Instead, they felt that merchants in the Song Dynasty were stupid and did not know how to raise the price.
The huge field of deliberation is divided into several parts, including porcelain, ready-made clothes, silk, medicine, tea, and even iron tools. Of course, these iron tools naturally include swords and armor. What Zhao Zhen is most interested in is these things.
The Song Dynasty did not prohibit merchants from buying weapons from other countries. First of all, the forging skills of this weapon were extremely harsh. Other countries had no possibility of forging. Iron smelting, forging, etc. affected the quality of weapons, and plate armor was even more impossible. Dome forging was a huge problem in this era. Except for the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did not believe that other countries could conquer it.
The second is the price. An ordinary so-called hundreds of refined swords that have been constantly beaten by a water conservancy forging machine, inlaid with a piece of broken jade or gemstone scraps, so the value soared. The cheapest one also costs ten gold coins! Not to mention the plate armor, there are no gems, gold and silver, just an ordinary plate armor with hundreds of gold coins, and the quantity is rare, and there is no market price...
Zhao Zhen touched his chin slightly. If he had to sell Cai Ji overseas by himself... Zhao Zhen immediately gave up this idea. Too much of the plaque leaked was not a good idea, and the plaques in the Song Dynasty were not in vain. One piece would cost about fifty taels, and Zhao Zhen couldn't bear to leave it alone.
"The imperial concubine is catching up with him..."
As Cai Boyi said, Zhao Zhen smiled and looked back. His pretty face, which had disappeared without a hidian black cloud, was replaced by various curiosity and surprises. Even Zhao Zhen himself could not help but be curious here, let alone his first time to come to the Song Dynasty and the first time to arrive in Datong Prefecture.
"Take her around the court and buy whatever she wants. I believe she will soon have no temper..."
Cai Boqi said embarrassedly, "Does the official's money be paid by the three departments or the internal warehouse?"
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "What do you think?!"
"In-house warehouse...In-house warehouse..."
After Cai Boqi said that, he waved to Chang Lin, who was always paying attention to the movements here in the distance. After he rushed over like a rabbit, he said, "The official will take the imperial concubine to take a good walk in this court. If the expenses are paid, it will be recorded in the third department... What is the empress now?"
Chang Lin smiled and said, "I don't care about anything else at all. I have bought everything that I haven't seen before. I have already beaten three people to deliver things!"
Cai Boqi coughed dryly, "Don't be too extravagant, otherwise the Sansi person will give advice again. By the time, you and I will become the official's punching bag..."
Chang Lin's body suddenly shook, "I understand..."
