chapter five hundred and ninety eight. face and money

In fact, Wang Hou didn’t know how much the caravan earned this time, but Wang Dada’s small goal in later generations was at least two or three! This time, the Liaodong caravan was really stuck at the best node. You should know that after the Chang'an Rebellion, the Silk Road was cut off for a full ten years, like a caravan trapped in Yumen Pass. Moreover, in ten years, the Western Region countries such as Wusun also reached the peak of their desire for silk, tea and other Chinese goods.

In this case, a Han caravan with 2,000 people traveled across the Xianbei grasslands and deserts, and arrived at Chigu City with a full box of goods. For Wusun, which had lagging behind in productivity, it was like quenching its thirst. In a few days, the Chinese goods that had been brought with them were dumped.

This time, Liaodong represents the first time that the Han Empire has completed international trade and entered the Super League. On the one hand, this time, Wang Hou, who was stinging in the search, simply brought all the goods and did not bring valuable currencies such as gold to the caravan. On the other hand, during the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty, what were the goods imported from the Han Empire? Cotton, cotton, pepper, frankincense, myrrh, coral agate, pearls, etc. from Arabia!

But now, pepper is imitated by Wang Hou. Although this southern dry spice is too difficult to grow in places like the north, with a small yield and even a fire well greenhouse is needed to be cultivated!

However! Even if coal is burned to increase heating, it is necessary to cultivate it carefully. Add a piece of various expenses in the forest, and the local pepper is cheaper than the pepper transported from thousands of miles away! Even now, pepper is added to boiled meat slices in the high-end restaurant in Guihua City, so this bulk import is naturally exempt!

Another one! Cotton!

Good guy, this time, the cotton merchant from Persia sat on the ground and burst into tears after seeing the Han merchants! Among the products in Guihua City, there is cotton cloth. The pattern weaving in the country is even more exquisite than the Western Regions cotton cloth, but the price is more than half of the cheaper than Western Regions cotton cloth. The largest imported commodity has been resold.

!

On the other hand, the goods brought by Wang Shuang this time are really hot, bone porcelain! It is not enough to sell in China! As soon as the porcelain with white jade and exquisite patterns painted with artistic bacteria and several kilograms of kilograms appeared, it was immediately snatched by the nobles of Wusun.

There is also tea, which is not advertised by Han merchants at all, and has long been a trend in the Western Regions! Before drinking coffee, Arabs had already loved drinking tea for a long time. Persians, who had greasy food, were also particularly addicted to tea. There are also Kushan and the Ceylon tea produced by the third brother in later generations even robbed many markets in China, which shows the best selling of tea.

Moreover, this time, Wang Hou also specifically followed the tea drinking habits of later Westerners, and almost all sold fermented and fried black tea and tea bricks similar to later Pu'er tea.

Just like in later generations, if insurance is not sold, it is called sales risk concept. This time, Wang Hou sold tea drinking concept. The rich black tea, which was cooked with milk powder and sugar, and then used a bone porcelain teapot and tea set to be served. The British afternoon tea method, three or five friends were drinking tea and eating pastries while talking. This high-end trick made the thousands of boxes of imported tea he brought with him in Wu's country so that he didn't even have a tea stem left.

Several commodities have recovered more than four or five thousand taels of gold for Wang Hou, and even got a piece of antique. The Western Han Dynasty golden horse used by Emperor Wu of Han to buy Dayuan horses! Looking at the opening of the boxes in front, there were golden precious metals inside. Regardless of the Hu Han nobles, all the eyes were dazzling golden light!

But when you have a sale, you have to sell it. After walking for four or five thousand miles to reach Wusun, you still have to maximize your interests. Although cotton and pepper are no longer popular, the horses in the Western Regions, Wusun jade, Kushan frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, lilac, etc. are still the most popular goods of the Han Empire.

Especially spices!

The transaction with the Western Regions was cut off, how much did the Central Plains lack smoked spices?

Even an allusion appeared in Cao Cao.

Just a while ago, Mr. Cao's baby saddle was bitten by a bug! Wang Houqian, who was managing the warehouse, was frowning, afraid that Mr. Cao would use a killing sword in his dream, so he would crack himself. Free Chinese

As a result, one of Wang Hou's brother-in-laws, Cao Chong, who had just kicked his legs, found out and asked the clerk not to report first, then he made a hole in his clothes, and first complained to Mr. Cao that his clothes were bitten by insects!

Cao Cao comforted him for a long time and comforted his favorite little son. The minor official came in again and apologized for guilt that the saddle was bitten by the insect. When he thought that his son's clothes could be bitten by the insects, Cao Cao took it for granted, so he did not blame him. He asked a few words to be careful and let the minor official go!

From here we can see how lacking the spices in the Central Plains are! If there is a mothball, Cao Cao’s beloved saddle and Cao Chong’s clothes cannot be bitten by insects!

Although they were not used much, these grassland leaders were also aware of the goods. Behind the gold, all kinds of flavoured strong fragrance, but they looked particularly strange, like piles of rat cakes and insect cakes, the spices of insect cakes were lifted up in boxes, and the golden light in their eyes turned into green light, and then the rhino horns, big ivory, and tiger skin were really rich! Those precious goods that were smuggled in later generations were enough to squat for half a lifetime, so the eyes of the tribes changed from golden light to green light, and even the Xianbei chiefs sighed in their hearts. Why didn’t Wang Hou send more people when he asked for people, but now he has fewer achievements!

Everyone stared at the breath. In the silence of the Shanyu Palace, watching the last treasure chest being brought up, Wang Hou finally stood up in the hope of everyone, coughed lightly, and then he started to speak out in a very arrogant manner as if he were to come to the future Apple press conference.

"Thanks to the sincere cooperation of my colleagues from Liaodong and Xianbei, the caravans traveled west to the west have achieved remarkable results. The goods sold and purchased are here! After a while, they will be divided according to the account book, and these gold treasures will be distributed to everyone on the spot!"

"General wise!"

Whether it is Hu or Han, he is not stingy with flattery if he has money. He stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly. Even Ke Bi Neng himself showed a strong smile on his face. According to the proportion Wang Hou had asked him before, he could get as much as 10% of these treasures!

But Wang Hou's next sentence made the corners of his mouth froze, full of radiance. Wang Hou continued to hum and smile happily as if he hadn't noticed him.

"Given that the gold-flowing trade route has such huge returns, I decided to open an import and export trading company in the open space west of the milk powder factory! Specializing in this Western Regions trade route! If you are interested, you can invest in shares and join the trading company! Let's get rich together and create a win-win situation together!"

After all, he miscalculated another step! This is different from the property Wang Hou distributed for free in Guihua City before. The Xianbei people had never lived in a house of Han people, so it would be better if they didn't live there! But in front of him, this was real money. Even the backward nomadic tribes knew that gold was valuable! Looking around, the excitement and greed in the pupils of the twelve tribes who participated in the dividends were almost flowing out!

But once you join this import and export trading company, will these tribe leaders still obey their own opinions?

Inadvertently, Wang Hou dug a big spoon on his own rights. In an instant, Ke Bineng's face was so gloomy that it was almost frozen like that!

However, after all, he is also a turtle on the grassland. It is a world of difference compared to those reckless men who can cut off their knives. At this time, he sang the opposite and undoubtedly pushed these tribes into Wang Hou's hand. So for a moment, Ke Bi Neng actually stood up with a laugh and held his fists hard at Wang Hou, who was smiling and spreading gold.

"General is the pearl given to me by the Xianbei God in the Great Life! Please allow me to be the first to join this import and export trading company in other countries!"

It was another hypocritical political show. Anyway, it was impossible to stop it, so it would be better to show goodwill! Sure enough, the greedy tribe leaders of the tribe who were originally greedy in their hearts were still worried, but seeing that Ke Bi Neng actually joined first, the worry was immediately disappeared. The clan leaders of the tribe with big beards and straightforward grace once again stroked their chests and bowed.

"Big leader! Wise!"
