Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 72

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell the soap, let's make an offer!"

Ruan Gan looked at the shopkeeper's surprised face and was in a good mood.

These days in Chang'an City, which shop doesn't look like this?First of all, he looked down on people like himself, but as long as he took out a large bag of pepper, or spices such as cloves, there was no shopkeeper who was not surprised.

Li Xiao looked at the inappropriate appearance of his shopkeeper, and replaced him, "Fat from thousands of miles away, um, honorable guest, let me receive it personally!"

Almost said the fat sheep!
When Ruan Gan saw that Li Xiao's temperament was completely different from ordinary people, he immediately announced his name.

It turned out to be the official envoy who sent Tang envoys!

It's a pity that he looks like a dog, why is he called Ruan Gan?Can't stand up?

Ruan Gan saw Li Xiao casually playing with his lilac!I feel that I have been underestimated.

He hurriedly removed the pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon from the car, "Master Li, this is a special product of my Linyi. It has a strong fragrance and is made into a sachet. It can be used for several years!"

Li Xiao said lightly, "The food is still good, but unfortunately, look at the pepper, the size is uneven, and the size and color of nutmeg and cloves are quite different. My stew doesn't use these!"

Ruan Gan widened his eyes, and was very surprised for a moment. These spices were used to cook meat, but the nobles in Linyi would do this. People in the Tang Dynasty used them to make spices, and I have never heard of anyone using them to cook meat!

Since the lord said he used it to stew meat, it should be true!

"It's so rich!" Ruan Gan said solemnly, people in the Tang Dynasty were really rich!
Cheng Chumo listened to it and complained, what a fart, stew some meat, which time is it not to put some cardamom and a little cinnamon, if you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all, but the stewed beef with spices is really good!

However, this kind of delicacy can only be eaten in Niuzhuang. Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo's mouth became crystal clear again!
"Are your spice trees planted now, or are they mostly wild?"

Ruan Gan knew that Lord Li was really proficient in the scenery of his country, so he didn't dare to prevaricate, "My Lord, we have it everywhere in our country, and we rarely plant it!"

"What? Such precious spices are wild and can be found everywhere?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Ruan Gan in disbelief.

"It's normal. These things are everywhere in Linyi. If they can't be sold, they're worthless!" Li Xiao began to explain Qin Huaiyu's doubts, lest he make a fool of himself, "When you need it, just pick a few from the side of the road."

"Then transport it to Chang'an!" Cheng Chumo pretended to be clever and grabbed the white.

Li Xiao glanced at Cheng Chumo, "Then it must be shipped! Don't you know how difficult the road is?"

Ruan Gan smiled awkwardly. He took the domestic worthless things and exchanged high-value goods in Chang'an City. He didn't expect that he would be found out one day!
"My lord, we have worked so hard to bring these spices, they are still valuable!"

Li Xiao has no way to refute these words. These spices are also not well understood by Linyi people, if they are sold by shrewd merchants from the Tang Dynasty!

Choose carefully, divide them into grades, and you will definitely be able to sell them at a higher price!
You know, the value of good spices is equivalent to gold!
Li Xiao's brain was running fast, thinking about how to eat this piece of fat!

"Envoy Ruan, your domestic spices and rice cannot be sold far away, and have not been able to produce great economic benefits."

"Even rice is naturally grown. If our Xinyi Trading Company can come to your country to buy these things, you will generate huge tax revenue every year!"

"Your country's royal family has a lot of financial revenue, and can better build the country!"

"And the people of Linyi can also feel the care of the Tang Dynasty for you. Do you think this is the best of all three?"

OMG!

This Lord Li can't pinch and count, can he?
This time I went to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, showing loyalty is the first priority, and the second task is to ask the emperor to ask the mission to find a way to establish trade channels!
After Ruan Gan arrived in Datang, after visiting the senior officials of Honglu Temple who received him, he handed out famous thorns everywhere the next day!
The purpose is to make friends with the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty and let them buy the products of their own country. Unfortunately, the Zhao Guogong's mansion did not see his mission at all!

The five surnames and Qiwang visited each household one by one, and they sneered at themselves and their country. What they said the most was, you are a small forest town, and the land is not as good as my state and capital in the Tang Dynasty. What good things can you have?

spices?

Do you think my family lacks your little spice?
Ruan Gan hit a wall again and again and couldn't complete the task assigned by the emperor, so he could only bring the spices he brought with him and buy them in large quantities. In this way, with the reward from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he should be safe after returning home!

Who would have thought that after being desperate, another village would be revealed!

Ruan Gan immediately knelt down, with snot and tears, "Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Xiao quickly helped Ruan Gan up, this is an envoy of a country, he can't kneel himself, the only one who can make him kneel is the emperor!
Cheng Chumo looked at Ruan's tearful appearance, and was very puzzled in his heart. He just went to your house to buy things, so why was he so moved?Moreover, you thought it was a good thing that Li Xiao went to your house to buy things?He must be suffocating some fart!

Damn, he really sold himself and counted the money for others!
Only Ruan Gan knows in his heart that the country is poor!The emperor doesn't even have a decent dress to wear!The fiscal revenue is even more pitiful!
Now my country is relatively harmonious on the surface, but secretly, there are not only dissident forces in the country shaking the government, but also hostile countries are also eyeing me!
Keeping the spices, if you can't sell them, you can only rot in the ground. Others don't understand the pain in your heart!
"Brother Ruan, this is a happy event, you should be happy! After two days, you will finish your work, and I will talk to you about specific matters on behalf of Xinyi Commercial Bank!"

Li Xiao said with a smile, he also has to communicate with the shareholders of Xinyi Commercial Bank, anyway, he is a slaughtered product, it depends on when he is happy and when he is slaughtered!

Ruan Gan excitedly left behind dozens of bags of spices, saying that it was a meeting gift for Lord Li!
Happy to go back to Honglu Temple!

After sending Ruan Gan away, Qin Huaiyu said, "Master Zan, just buy some spices, right?"

"You know, even if the spices can be sold at a high price in Datang, the loss on the road is not small!"

"After all, I don't earn much. Otherwise, it would be our Xinyi Commercial Bank's turn."

You know, the road from Linyi to Datang is really difficult.

By land, not to mention the separatist forces along the road, as well as bandits, miasma and old forests, more than half of the personnel had to be sacrificed to reach Chang'an from Linyi!
