Chapter 1912 Shameless(1/2)

Several people talked in the house for a long time, and Han Yi invited them to the new market for dinner. Han Yi didn't like any banquets in the Xiao Mansion. In the past, it was because Xiao Rui was there, but now Xiao Rui went back to his hometown, so he disliked even more because for him, the home was the private field of him and Xiao Wuyi, and he didn't like outsiders to break in. He rarely treats guests in the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Wuyi occasionally invites his best friend to dinner, and he just asks Ono and Xiao Pang to come here.

After leaving Xiao’s house, Han Yi specially called Wu Kelie Yigu to the carriage with him.

"By the way! Before leaving last time, will there be any progress in what I told you to do?"

As soon as he got on the carriage, Han Yi asked casually.

In fact, this is what he wants to know the most, and both sides are still under control.

Wu Kelie was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Han is referring to the Tiel tribe?"

Han Yi nodded.

Wu Kelie said: "It's going very smoothly at the moment. We have contacted the merchants there. This time, some wool and leather are from the Tielou tribe, but the place there is too poor, and many Central Plains merchants can't afford it."

Yigu said: "Actually, the people of the Tielite tribe envy us. As far as I know, last year, many people in the Tielite tribe moved to Beiting and other prefectures and counties, especially some craftsmen who know how to do craftsmanship."

Han Yi nodded and sighed, "This is why I asked you to trade with them. Because the gap between the rich and the poor is the root of the war. If we are too rich, they are too poor, and they are on the side, can they balance their minds? However, they can only come and grab it at that time. We must prepare for the future and help them become rich, at least not too different, so that we can live in peace."

Wu Kelie said: "Although Brother Han's words make sense, they are still Khan and Chief, and they will not develop. We can't help many things."

The rapid development of capitalism in the old Western Turks was because of the battle of Asina Helu that killed many nobles. In addition, in the battle of defending the Great Protectorate, the remaining nobles were killed so that the merchants could truly rise. However, the nobles of the Tiel tribe were still there, and the Qibian family and the Asina family were all local golden nobles, and even Khans, who would rather give up their position as a khan easily?

If you know the reason, then just overthrow them. Han Yi muttered to himself and said, "I understand this too. You have to take it slowly, but you must help them become rich. This is good for everyone. After all, we live in a country, especially the businessmen who help them develop. As long as the businessmen develop, the economy will be better."

"Yes, yes, Brother Han can be content with 10,000 hearts, we will definitely help them." Wu Kelie and the others nodded, patting their chests to assure.

In fact, even if Han Yi doesn't say it, they will of course help, because it is a big market. For merchants, this market is very critical. They can buy wool and leather there at a low price and then buy Zhongyuan.

Han Yi spoke highly of the people of Tiel tribe, which was actually to help the local merchants rise, then overthrow their Khan and tribal systems, popularize the Central Plains system, and let them have the same system, the same transformation, and the same ideas as the Central Plains.

When an advanced system encounters a barbaric system, if you don’t assimilate them, they will definitely come to attack you. There is no doubt that.

As for the universal values, those shameless politicians in later generations have already made a fuss. Han Yi can just borrow two tricks to deal with them.

The three of them discussed this matter carefully. They told Han Yi the specific situation. Han Yi taught them how to fool the businessmen there and let them learn our system, ideas, etc.

But he did not explicitly say that he would overthrow their Khan, who was also owned by Li Zhifeng.

"Brother Han, your city plan is really good!"

Yi Gu suddenly looked out the window and saw workers everywhere along the road, demolishing walls, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

Nowadays, some streets in Chang'an have built driveways and sidewalks, and have a complete set of traffic rules.

In fact, this traffic rules were found in the Tang Dynasty very early, because everything was strictly controlled in the Tang Dynasty. When the car was sent and when people were allowed to get cars, everything was very clear. The people themselves had this basis for traffic awareness, but now carriages have been increasing. Traffic rules must be slightly modified. In order to ensure the safety of pedestrians, the sidewalk naturally appeared, exactly the same as later generations, with a ladder. Of course, this is also because of the emergence of cement and provided technical support. The walls along the street had to be demolished, and a fence was used to widen the road, and it also looked simple and beautiful.

Although the northwest region is very prosperous, it is still far inferior to the Tang Dynasty in terms of urban construction. They are still rushing around, which is the importance of etiquette and law.

Wu Kelie said: "Brother Han, we have seen this cement. It's really great. You can go from Chang'an Xiu to Beiting without looking at it. In that case, it will be much more convenient for us to travel."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I think so, but it takes a lot of money to practice this, but I will definitely practice it. But I have to take it slowly, first to Liangzhou, then to Guazhou, and then to Tingzhou."

Yigu said, "How long will it take?"

Han Yi said: "Now the court has financial difficulties and can't afford so much money. After two years, the country's finances will be abundant and it may start to repair there."

Wu Kelie hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have this money, we have the ability to support the court now."

If this road is repaired, it can reduce their costs many, many times and increase trade volume.

Now they have to use camels. If it is a cement road, they can directly use a carriage to pull it from Tingzhou to Chang'an. What is it like to donate some money to build the road? In fact, they have been donating money to build the road.

Han Yi nodded with a smile, but this project is really not an ordinary project, and it is still difficult to do it now.

While speaking, they came to the new market.

Although it is winter now, the new market is still very lively and much more lively than the city. Now everyone likes to stay in the new market because of freedom and entertainment facilities in the suburbs, and the city is also being built.

"Brother Han!"

As soon as Han Yi got off the car, he heard someone shouting. When he turned his head, he saw Yu Xiumi, He Ruohan, and Yang Mengcheng several idiots waving at him.

"Oh! Brother Ke Lie is here too!"

As soon as Yu Xiumi saw Wu Kelie, he put his arm over.

Wu Kelie smelled a scent, and saw them holding a small jar in their hands, and curiously said, "Are you eating a jar of vegetables? Strange, why haven't I seen such a jar of vegetables?"

Yu Xiumi laughed and said, "Of course you haven't seen it. This is the canned fruit that Xiaopang Group has only released in the past two years. Not to mention you, you can't buy Liangzhou. Have you ever eaten lychees?"

Wu Kelie shook his head, let alone eating, I have never seen it before.

Yu Xiuya stretched out the canned food in her hand and said, "You can try it, but it's very delicious."

Han Yi frowned and said, "I said you are so stingy, you are so stingy, go get another can!"

Yu Xiumi said with a sad face: "Brother Han, I brought this can out, we all eat our own food."

Nowadays, these canned lychees are so expensive that they can’t even be grabbed. Except for Xiaopang, no one can treat them with cans.

If it weren't for Wu Kelie and the others, Yu Xiumi wouldn't even give him the rest.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wu Kelie waved his hands repeatedly and directly took the canned food in Yu Xiumi's hand. They didn't care about this. They took the small spoon handed by Yu Xiumi, scooped a lychee and put it in their mouths. They immediately exclaimed: "It's delicious, delicious, this lychee is so delicious."

Yi Gu and others also came up to taste it, almost swallowing their tongues.

Yu Xiumi haha, “It’s delicious?”

"This is so sweet. Do you have to buy it from Xiaopang?" Yi Guxin wanted to be able to eat this thing on the road, which was so happy.

"Now I can't buy it anywhere, and Xiaopang Group is about to close."

"Closed?"

He Ruohan sighed and said, "Brother Kelie, you don't know that the canned lychees come from the Lingnan area. We have never eaten them before. If you have to transport them for more, you will be snatched away in just half a day."

Yang Mengcheng also said: "This little fat guy is really. If you don't get a little more, you will get such a little every time. No matter how rich we have, we have to save food!"

Han Yi said: "The fat guys have also brought a lot of them, but you group of animals have robbed them too hard."

Yu Xiumi suddenly glanced at Han Yi and said, "Maybe there are a lot of hidden in Brother Han."

Han Yi glared at him and said to Wu Kelie and the others: "I have some more in my place, and I will give it to you then."

Wu Kelie hurriedly said, "I'm so grateful."

Just now, they ate one of them, but they didn't even taste the taste.

Yang Mengcheng said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, you can give me some too."

Han Yi said: "You are leaving the Yang family's business to manage, so you can stay here every day."

Yang Menghao hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you misunderstood me. I have been busy outside a few months ago. Now our forage has been sold out. Now it's winter again, so I'll come here to take a break."

Han Yi said: "You are still so young, so you are yelling to rest. My brother-in-law, I can't live a life with you now."

"Brother-in-law, you are quite young now!" Yang Mengcheng said with a flattering smile.

Yu Xiumi came to Han Yi and said carelessly: "Brother Han, Mengcheng is here to consume, which can promote the economic development of our Chang'an. This is not what you have always advocated. You can't just let us consume, and your own family won't come."

Han Yi gently pushed him and said, "Get out of here, don't read my books again in the future."

"Hahaha!"

He Ruohan and the others burst into laughter.

Yu Xiumi suddenly went to Wu Kelie again, hugged Wu Kelie, blinked and said, "Brother Kelie, don't say that I, a brother, don't take care of you, I will introduce you to a good deal. Keeping you to make a lot of money, it's better to make money than selling leather or wool."

Wu Kelie said curiously: "What is the best deal?"

"It's a Persian woman!"

Yu Xiumi said excitedly: "You don't know. Ask our Princess Yuncheng, Chang'an is becoming more and more strict in the trading of maids. However, in order to promote trade between the two sides, the court does not care about the Persian woman for the time being. How many people do you bring to you now? As long as you are younger, someone will definitely buy it. The price is much higher than before. I heard that there has been wars there all the time. The price is definitely not very expensive. I will introduce this kind of good deal to you."

Wu Kelie nodded and said, "To be honest, we brought more than a hundred Persian women this time, but they were sold out when we arrived in Liangzhou."

He Ruohan was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Oh! Brother Kelie, you have lost money in this business. Liangzhou is full of local merchants. How can they know the goods? If you want to sell it in Chang'an, the price will definitely be better. Are you still a few steps away?"

"I lost, I lost."

Yu Xiumei shook her head straight.

Yi Gu smiled and said, "If it's really easy to sell, we can buy more from there. Now Persia is really messy, and many Persian women have taken the initiative to run to the Central Plains."

Yu Xiuya said: "As long as you are younger, no matter how many, we can buy it."

These upstarts have made a lot of money, so their demands are naturally increasing.

After hearing this, Wu Kelie and the others were all thinking.

This is indeed a good deal. It is much more convenient for transporting people to come over than transporting goods. After all, people have two legs and can walk by themselves.

It’s really not a beast of Yu Xiumi and others. Now Persian women and Silla maids are very popular in Chang'an. Because the slave bill issued by the imperial court made it too expensive for women in the Central Plains, and the procedures were complicated. In addition, the Women’s Federation Bureau is investigating the trafficking of women every day. If you find it, you will report it. The black market merchants have already gone to eat dirt, and Huayuelou simply moved to Luoyang.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty people admired plump women more, and the Persian women were both beautiful and plump, and the Tang Dynasty men loved them very much.

What’s even more funny is that Persia has just been destroyed by the Great Food, and those Persian women also yearn for the Central Plains, because the Central Plains are stable and wealthy. The key is to be external. The Tang Dynasty was open, and Wu Kelie and others also often sold Persian women to the Central Plains. Although the number has been increasing, the demand is getting bigger and bigger, and there will always be a shortage of supply.

This group of beasts, saying this here, isn’t it going to make me unrighteous? Han Yi coughed a few times and said, “I said you guys are enough. If my wife knows that I’m talking to you about this, I can’t even stay at home. If I’m driven out, you don’t want to stay at home. After I leave, you can discuss this matter any way you want.”

"Okay, okay, chat later, chat later."
