Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"what do you mean……"

Qian Sande said: "You do business! Just do business between Datang and the Frankish Kingdom."

"But I don't know how to do business."

"That's okay, you won't let me teach you."

Hiddle frowned and said, "You don't mean to trick me into buying something so you can earn a commission?"

"Of course not. I, Qian Laosan, don't act like that. Well, if you don't trust me, you don't need me to teach you. I only teach you what to buy for the highest profit. It's up to you to listen."

"Then I have to ask Brother Qian for advice."

"In fact, this question is very simple. If you buy something with the word 'Qin Wang' on it, it must be profitable. For example, Qin Wang perfume, Qin Wang soap, Qin Wang sugar, Qin Wang mirror...etc."

Hidel was puzzled and said, "What's the reason? Could it be that King Qin is the name of the biggest firm in your Datang?"

Qian Sande shook his head, and said: "King Qin has nothing to do with any business name. He is a legendary figure in our Tang Dynasty. Prosperity, at least half of the credit must go to his old man."

"I understand. You add the word "King Qin" to these good things to commemorate his old man."

"What you said... can't be said to be completely wrong, but it's basically not right. In fact, the reason why these things are so named is because they were all invented by King Qin."

Hidel said in surprise: "So, the King of Qin is still a great inventor?"

"Exactly. The reason why our Quanzhou Port is so prosperous is that there are a few items left by the King of Qin that other countries don't have. Other countries can only buy them from our Tang Dynasty, and there are no other places. "

Hidel said: "No wonder you asked me to buy goods in the name of the King of Qin. Rare things are more expensive, and these things will definitely make a lot of money when they are shipped to the Frankish Kingdom."

"That's it."

"Uh... Your Tang Dynasty has such a talent as King Qin, it is really a blessing for the country and the people. But I don't know if he is still alive?"

"Of course. The King of Qin has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. His Majesty appreciated his kindness and gave him the whole of North America and renamed him the King of Donghua. Although he is over 80 years old now, I heard that his hair is still black and his teeth are broken. It didn't fall off, and the body is very strong!"

Qian Sande paused for a moment, then continued: "However, since he is king in Donghua, he will definitely not return to Datang. The common people are grateful for his kindness, so they invented the Things are named after King Qin, so what you said before is not completely wrong."

After hearing this, Xidel's eyes lit up, and he said: "There are such heroes in the world? It's really desirable. If I can achieve [-]% of this person's achievements in this life, I will be worthy of this life."

……

……

In the end, Xidel was not persuaded by Qian Sande.He tried his best to complete the task entrusted by the king, and was finally received by the Emperor Datang half a year later.

As Qian Sande expected, his request was not agreed.

Frustrated, Hidel had no choice but to abandon his career and go into business, becoming a well-known wealthy businessman in the Frankish Kingdom.

After his death, there were no fewer people who knew his name in Europe than Tang Guoye.Hidel's life can be regarded as living up to this life.

Of course, what made him famous in history was neither his loyalty nor his wealth, but that he wrote a book-"Sidler's Travels".

In this book, he described in detail the endless wealth of Tang Dynasty, various novelty items, large population, well-planned huge commercial city and gorgeous palace architecture with passionate prophecy.

Influenced generations of Europeans, invested in the communication between the East and the West...

Chapter 2148 The Thirteen Beauties of the Guo Mansion in Yonghui Chronicle

The spring of the 50th year of Yonghui.

At that time, it had been more than forty years since Donghua King Guo Ye and his family had left Datang.Most of the people who dealt with him are no longer alive.

Even so, because of his great achievements, not only did his reputation not decline in Datang, on the contrary, he became more and more mythical by people.

As the saying goes, although Brother is not in the Jianghu, there are still legends about Brother in the Jianghu.

Storytellers saw the business opportunities contained in this matter, and storytelling about Guo Ye also emerged in endlessly.The most outstanding work among them is "Guo Fu Thirteen Hairpins".

There is a library in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, named Dongcheng Library.The proprietor of this library, surnamed Liu, is 35 years old, not tall, and slightly fat.

He started by telling "Journey to the West", and finally brought forth the new through the old, creating the classic "Thirteen Hairpins of the Guo Mansion" and became famous for a while, becoming the most popular storyteller in Chang'an.

Mr. Liu clapped his hands and officially opened the book, saying: "It's a coincidence, everyone, why do you say that? Because today is the last lecture of our book. Tomorrow, we have to open a new book."

Under the stage, a young man in Tsing Yi said loudly: "Sir, since this is the last lecture, let me save everyone a little time and ask you a question, is it okay?"

"This little brother has something to say, please!"

"Your "Thirteen Beauties of the Guo Mansion" is really good, but unfortunately there is a fly in the ointment."

Mr. Liu was not at all annoyed when he heard this remark, and said, "Oh? What flaw do you say? Welcome to advise."

"The title of your book is not very suitable. You have already said before that there are ten formal wives and concubines in the Guoye Mansion of the King of Donghua. They are Chai Xiuxiu, Zhenniang, Zhiru, Yang Fengyi, Princess Shanhua, Sun Xiaoxiao, and Shangchuan. Meizi, Yuan Ruoshuang, Wu Meiniang and Xi Bizhu."

Mr. Liu nodded and said, "That's right, it's hard for you to remember so clearly."

"But the name of your storytelling book is "Thirteen Beauties of the Guo Mansion"! If you only talk about Guo Ye's official wives and concubines, there are ten. If you count all his women, there are more than thirteen. Thirteen There is no reason why Chai's name is so good."

"You want to ask this." Mr. Liu said confidently: "Of course the name Thirteen Chai is not without reason. Donghua King Guo Ye's official wives and concubines are indeed thirteen."

"Then who are the other three? You won't add three more beauties in this last lecture, will you?"

"Of course not. In fact, these three people have already played in the front. Think about it carefully."

The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "I don't understand, please show me, sir."

Mr. Liu said: "The first one is Xu Hui, a talented woman. I think she and Guo Ye were engaged at the beginning, but they didn't get married because of the funeral of her father and brother. After three years, do they have to get married? Eleven Chai, do you agree or not?"

The young man in Tsing Yi scratched his head and said, "I agree, of course I agree. How did I forget this? Who is No. 12 hairpin?"

"This person is more reasonable."

Mr. Liu said: "I think Guo Ye rescued a little girl named Zheng Feifei in Xinluo. Later, this girl grew up and fell in love with him deeply. Under various circumstances, the two got married. Guo Ye I tried my best to delay the marriage until eight years later."

"So, Zheng Feifei is the twelve beauties?"

"Eight years later, the little girl has become an old girl, and she has delayed her youth. How dare Guo Ye not be responsible? As for the No. 13 hairpin..."

The young man in Tsing Yi held up his hands and said, "Don't tell me, I'll think about who No. 13 should be."

"Well, you guessed it."

"Uh... I think there was a woman named Qin Siniang who saved Guo Ye's life on the empty island, and then she died tragically at the hands of Fusang people. Guo Ye also erected a monument to confirm her identity. What do you mean?" Is it her?"

Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "Dead people don't count. For the same reason, don't count Xue Yantuo's princess Xue Xinlian and Liaoren saint Lei Shuyao."
