I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Many of them take care of this business.

It's just...the business of grain and iron is not easy to do, and most of them are trades between countries.

Glenima listened to what they said, nodded slightly, and smiled: "What you said... is true. To sum it up in general, it is that Datang lacks resources."

Saying that, he paused.

"It can't be said that there is a shortage, it can only be said that Datang needs to use so many resources now."

Glenima carefully considered the words he said.

He dared not use the word "lack".

Lack means that if there is no such thing, it must not work, but is Datang at this point now?Judging from what he has seen and heard in Chang'an and Datang in the past few years.

Without those things, Datang would not be unable to survive, and there would not even be any changes, but the pace of development would be slower.

resource……

These two words sum it up well.

Merchants sat upright, they knew that after laying the groundwork for so long, the main event was finally coming.

Glenima organized his thoughts and tapped his thigh: "These resources are naturally raised, why... must those people be able to trade with Datang, not us?"

Some merchants can't sit still.

They want to too!But why them?
They are just merchants, not violent institutions like the imperial court. It is impossible and impossible to occupy a mine.

"I would like to, but...you know." A merchant sighed, quite depressed, "It's not something we can decide."

"I also discovered an iron ore at the beginning of the year. Before I sold it to Datang for a few hundred catties, my own court took it and fined me thirty Tang coins."

How could a business that could earn Datang's money fall into their hands.

"It's impossible for them to agree." A merchant next to him echoed.

Glenima sneered and shook his head: "Why should they agree?"

Several people were stunned.

What does this mean?
Glenima stood up and pointed to himself: "Don't forget our identities, who are we?"

"We are Datang's dogs."

"Who is our master?"

"Datang!"

Speaking of this, he slightly calmed down his excited tone: "So we have to listen to Datang, not theirs."

"If we can sell the iron ore and coal mines to Datang at a cheaper price, or even double the price, do you think... will Datang not want it?"

"Da Tang wants it, you say... do those individuals dare to do anything to us?"

Datang needs these resources, which does not mean that Datang will be manipulated by those countries.

In fact, it was precisely because Datang needed it that they wanted to sell it.

Out of morality, Datang can't do anything to buy it at a price that is too low, but...if they take the initiative to lower the price and make it cheaper, Datang will not be so stupid as to refuse this cheap price.

and…

Datang will also maintain this advantage.

Several merchants figured this out, and their eyes gradually brightened.

"So what are you going to do, my lord?" A businessman tentatively asked, after so long on the appetizer, it was finally time to get to the point.

Gelenima smiled slightly, and cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an City: "I can have such an idea, all thanks to Mrs. Zhengyang and Mrs. Wu."

"You've all seen it too..."

"The market can be developed."

"Since Miss Wu is developing the market in Yizhou and Yangzhou, why can't we develop the market in our country?"

This…

A businessman hesitated: "Our own country will not be as sage as Tang Dynasty, just to eat Naka..."

Before he finished speaking, the person next to him raised his hand and patted him on the head: "Are you stupid? We are going to be Datang's dogs. How dare they not give Datang's dogs face?"

Beat the dog to see the owner.

This master is something they can't afford to provoke.

"But how can I become Datang's dog?" A man raised his hand high and questioned.

All of this sounds nice, but in practice, it is very difficult.

If you want to develop your own country's market, you must first become Datang's dog, but if you want to become Datang's dog, you must have the benefits that will make Datang's heart beat, but if you want to show the benefits that will make Datang's heart beat ——If you want to sell iron ore and coal mines to Datang cheaply, you have to become Datang's dog.

This becomes an endless loop.

"I heard that Feng Chao has recently developed a machine that can be used for mining."

"I plan to borrow a sum of money from Tongfu Bank, sign a contract, buy that machine, and then go back to my country to start mining."

"Then...after the mine can be opened stably, and then slowly develop its own market, there will be no problem if you think about it."

Regarding the word "borrow", Glenima emphasized his tone and pronounced the word clearly.

Borrow money?

This is an operation that all merchants have never thought of, can it still be done like this?
It sounds ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it is a feasible method.

They have always wanted to have a relationship with Mr. Zhengyang, but they only thought about the good things, such as becoming Mr. Zhengyang's dog, becoming Yin Lulu's dog...

Even if he can't be Zhengyanggong's dog, he can be a rolling dog.

I really never thought about... such a negative relationship.

If you get a loan, it's a relationship.

"This method... is there any danger?" After a long silence, a merchant slowly opened his mouth, "Why don't you do it yourself?"

This method is very good.

Besides, when it comes to borrowing money, it doesn't matter how many people there are. Even... one person may be able to borrow money, but if there are many people, it may not be possible to borrow money.

This is a very simple truth.

But why... it would be better for one person to do it, he doesn't do it himself, but at this time, he has to take it out, as if he wants to cooperate with others.

"Datang doesn't need a dog." Glenima shrugged, his tone brisk, "Whether it's Datang or Zhengyang Gong, what they need is a group of dogs."

"A Tubo is too small to support the resources needed for a Tang Dynasty."

"So I definitely can't do it alone, so...I've been waiting."

The merchants exhaled and nodded.

"Then you are willing to be with me?" Glenima's eyes lit up.

Several other merchants also stood up, picked up the tea bowl brought by the maid early in the morning, and respected like drinking wine: "This is natural."

Gelenima also picked up the tea bowl, and they clinked glasses.

"Can be Datang's dog..." A person spoke first, uttering such a sentence.

Several other people laughed heartily and spoke in unison.

"pleasure!"
