Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"what?"

"I'm Cheng Yaojin."

Cheng Yaojin blinked his eyes, a little confused.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Big head on you.

The dignified Lu Guogong came to work with him just for the usual amount of money in a month, no one would believe it if he told it!
"Tell me, what are you doing here? Are you an undercover agent?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, "Make money, obey the scriptures, eat and drink."

His purpose is very clear, just these three, and Qin Yu can satisfy all three here.

"Make money?"

"Just that much?"

Qin Yu felt that he might have met a fake Cheng Yaojin.

"It's always a lot, and it's always a lot in a month, and it's more than a dozen in a year."

"My family has many sons, and the expenses are high. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Besides, you don't need to pay for listening to books when you work for Mr. Qin. It's better to kill two birds with one stone."

Qin Yu was unable to support his forehead, "So you are all poor ghosts?"

Everyone nodded at the same time.

poverty!
They are all poor.

"The conditions just now?"

"We promise."

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin nodded at the same time.

Cheng Yaojin naturally needless to say.

If he can make money, let him do whatever.

"Okay, in this case, each of you write me a written commitment."

Qin Yu never believed in verbal promises.

"Okay, let's write."

Li Shimin voted first.

He knew that if he didn't write, no one else would dare.

Soon, Qin Yu held a few commitment letters in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, then dried the ink and put it away.

"Actually, earning money is not difficult, as long as you think about it, who has money now?"

Who has money?

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others all fell into deep thought.

"The family."

Li Shimin said.

Qin Yu snapped his fingers, "That's right, go ahead, think again!"

"Merchants!" Wei Zheng said.

Qin Yu nodded, and after waiting for a while, they gave several answers one after another.

However, Qin Yu was not very satisfied with these answers.

"Then Mr. Qin, tell me, who has money in their hands? It can't be His Majesty today, right?"

Wei Zheng asked.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Li Er is just poor, he is not as good as you guys."

Li Shimin: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..." Mr. Qin is really brave and fearless.

Wei Zheng: "..." He asked a proposition, and I don't know if His Majesty will settle the score with me after he returns.

"Mr. Qin is right, Your Majesty is not as good as my old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin nodded seriously, with a face of agreement.

Qin Yu picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip and said, "It's too small."

"Your layout is small."

"Don't focus on Chang'an City, or the Tang Dynasty. You should look further afield. Look at Emperor Han Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was very powerful and had a huge structure. He directly established a Silk Road."

"Think about how much economic development this road has driven."

As soon as Qin Yu said this, no one objected, because what Qin Yu said was the truth.

Even Li Shimin suspected that his structure was too small.

"Then according to Mr. Qin's opinion, what should we do?"

Qin Yu took a sip of wine, and Li Shimin filled it up for him himself, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Putting down his wine glass, Qin Yu said, "This matter is actually very simple. I won't let you get the Silk Road, and I won't let you earn money that is too far away."

"Now, set a small goal for yourself. Let's take care of Turkic, Tubo, and Tuyuhun first, and then expand outward."

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked puzzled, "Turk, Tubo?"

"Why is this?"

"They don't seem to have any money, do they?"

In Li Shimin's view, Turks and Tubo only have cattle, sheep and horses, and they don't even have houses, so where does the money come from?
Qin Yu chuckled, "That's why you are small. For these nomads, horses, cattle and sheep are their most precious things."

"What we have to do is to exchange the worthless things of Datang for cattle, sheep and horses, and empty them out."

"In this way, we will not only earn money from it, but also increase their consumption and reduce their reserves of food and horses."

"At that time, they will not be able to fight even if they want to fight."

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling are not stupid, they immediately reacted when Qin Yu mentioned something.

"Wonderful, Mr. Qin's method is really wonderful, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Qin Yu smiled, "Let's learn a little bit, wars don't have to be fought with real swords and guns, and messing with their economy can also bring them down."

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others solemnly saluted Qin Yu, "I'll be taught."

Before today, they really believed that fighting meant going to the battlefield, fighting, and desperately fighting, but after listening to Qin Yu's words today.

It was like opening a door to a new world for them.

They never knew that wars can also be fought economically.

"Okay, don't fix those fake things. I'll give you ideas and find a way. You have to give me some money when the time comes."

He doesn't want to let him do it for nothing.

"It's natural, but we don't know exactly how we should do it?"

"Is there anything in my Tang Dynasty that can make Turkic and Tubo foreigners willingly exchange cattle and sheep?"

Qin Yu glanced at Li Shimin appreciatively, "My lord has a talent for doing business. In fact, this matter is very simple, and you don't need to do it yourself. You only need to form a caravan."

Li Shimin was flattered to be praised by Qin Yu for the first time.

"Is it enough to form a caravan?"

Qin Yu shook his head, "No, what I mean is to form a caravan of barbarians. You use your identities to open green passages for them, that is, passes, so that they can pass through various passes."

"Besides, you can also give them the most favorable price for the goods. You only need to specify the commission. They will sell according to their ability. Except for the part given to you, the rest will belong to them."

"Of course, in order to make them loyal enough, you also arranged for people to bring their families into Chang'an City. It can be said to be protection or guarding. In short, it is a combination of grace and power."

"If you still want to earn Li Er's money, you can let those barbarians inquire about the enemy's situation while selling goods and form an information chain."

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he shook his head again, "But Li Er is a poor guy, I don't think you can make much money from him, but you can use this information in exchange for opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune."

As he spoke, Qin Yu picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Sir, that's a really good idea. It's a fantastic idea. It's wonderful, it's wonderful."

Fang Xuanling praised.

Wei Zheng also admired Qin Yu at this time.

Only Li Shimin was very concerned about Qin Yu just scolding him for being poor.

This kid, the more you scold him, the easier it is to scold him.

When I look back and find out my identity, let's see if he doesn't take care of him!
