Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

If there is a chance.

Qin Mu hoped to copy a few more to see.

Somehow.

Many people in the hall suddenly shivered.

Little did they know that someone had already set their minds on them.

At this time.

Zhao Lin went on to say: "This is just the spice industry operated by Hu merchants."

"Besides, there are many Hu merchants in the Western Regions engaged in other profitable industries, such as the jewelry industry."

"Especially in Persia, Dashi and other countries, these Hu people often deal with jewelry, they are well-informed, and have a lot of experience in jewelry appreciation. Therefore, these Hu merchants are also favored by some princes and nobles."

Qin Mu secretly nodded.

This is all superficial about the jewelry industry.

Among them, what Zhao Lin didn't say was.

Many Hu merchants pursue the profit of jewelry, even to the point of pathology.

The most serious is.

There are many Hu merchants who have buried their own pearls.

That is to hide the jewels in one's own body by mutilating the flesh,

But this is also the reason for the export policy.

As a result, Hu merchants had to find a way to obtain huge benefits.

I just don't know these princes and nobles.

If you know that the jewelry you get is bloody.

Will it be so cherished.

Qin Mu thought.

Zhao Lin continued: "In addition to the jewelry industry, these Hu merchants also opened luxury restaurants in major cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Guangzhou."

"In Chang'an, Hushang restaurants are mostly opened by Persians, and they are mainly opened in the area from Xishi and Chunmingmen to Qujiang."

"This kind of exotic restaurant has attracted a large number of literati and inkmen. These scholars not only spent money in it, but also left many poems praising the barbarian restaurant, which attracted many people. Praise."

"But this is not the most important thing. The biggest feature of the barbarian restaurant is the orchid in it."

"These orchids have high noses and deep eyes, fair skin, are good at singing and dancing, and are enthusiastic and unrestrained. Obviously, they are more eye-catching than the simple entertainment items in Tang Dynasty restaurants."

"Coupled with the sweet and delicious wines in the store, Persian salamander and dragon paste wine, and the sultry Huyue, all the novelties among them are a rare exotic experience for me in Tang Dynasty."

"That's why these literati and elegant guests flock to the orchid wine shop to drink and have fun."

Zhao Lin said this.

It also reminded Qin Mu.

He could have made better wines.

It's just that he's not that keen on this kind of wine.

It is enough to taste something new once in a while.

However, there are some business ideas in Hushang Restaurant.

Instead, local restaurants can follow suit.

After all, the barbarian restaurants catered to big customers.

We can't let the Hu people take over and earn their own money.

But Hu Ji is really good.

tender...

moist...

"Also, what I mentioned just now is the lending industry. Hu people lend money wantonly, and the profits they get are not small."

"There is a folk saying that Hu merchants 'take quality for profit, and live in peace without wanting to return', that is to say, Hu merchants lend usury, make a fortune, and don't want to return to the country. One can imagine the profits."

"The various industries of the Hu merchants that the minister said, except for the Hu people's wine shops, are allowed at the beginning, and other industries such as spices and jewelry are prohibited. Therefore, the Hu merchants can only trade privately, and the quality of the business is also manipulated by the Hu merchants. on."

talking.

Zhao Lin's tone became more and more serious, "His Royal Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly, if the court fails to take any action regarding the Hu merchants, the commercial development of our Tang Dynasty will surely fall into chaos."

Wait for Zhao Lin to finish speaking.

All the civil and military officials in the court were all in awe.

It turns out that there are so many ways in business.

It seems that the sea of business is also choppy.

If you are not careful, there will be no bones left that will be eaten.

at this time.

Qin Mu was also thinking secretly.

In fact, the current situation is already obvious.

There are more and more Hu merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and the polarizing influence will become more prominent.

on the one hand.

The behavior of Hu merchants selling luxury goods to Datang will make the ruling class of Datang gradually corrupt with extravagance.

At the same time, it will also lead to the outflow of a large amount of gold and silver from Datang.

However, Hu merchants brought items that Datang did not have.

At the same time, it also brings new culture, art, technology, food and so on.

Greatly promoted cultural exchanges outside Tang Dynasty.

But that's it.

It is even more necessary to properly manage these Hu merchants.

Guide foreign trade exchanges and develop in the right direction.

In order to promote the prosperity of Datang's business.

Qin Mu was thinking.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian, who was seated above, was looking at him with fiery eyes.

It's not just Li Chengqian.

The same is true for hundreds of officials in the court.

That naked gaze seemed to see through Qin Mu.

It's hard to blame these officials for being so bold.

It's really a business problem.

To say they don't know much is a good thing.

Most are clueless.

And Qin Mu, as the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Mangya Trading Company.

It is also recognized as the world's largest businessman.

In such a situation, everyone can only rely on him, a business tycoon.

"Teacher, what do you think the court should do with regard to Hu merchants' transactions, so as to reduce the bad influence of Hu merchants on my Datang business?" Li Chengqian looked around the palace and asked directly.

Qin Mu got up, and said slowly: "If you want to reconcile the trade between the Hu merchants and the Tang Dynasty, it is better to directly plan the business contacts under the jurisdiction of the officials of the Ministry of Households."

"Afterwards, open up an exclusive foreign trade market in each major commercial city, and stipulate the types and quantities of trading items, and collect a certain amount of tax according to the income. Finally, the Ministry of Households can control the overall situation."

3 Chapter Fifty: Qin Mu's Measures (5/5)

in the hall.

Although the actions Qin Mu said were very simple.

But Li Chengqian, who was seated above, and all the civil and military officials in the court were very engrossed in listening.

This is a difficult disease for them.

In the eyes of the son-in-law.

It's all at your fingertips, which can't help but make people sigh.

After hearing this, Zhao Lin, the servant of the household department, was very excited, and couldn't wait to ask: "My son-in-law, I would like to know, can you be more specific about these measures?"

The household department has been troubled by this problem for a long time.

Zhao Lin is very excited to get an answer now.

Qin Mu nodded, and said slowly: "As I said just now, a separate foreign trade department will be established in the household department, and the foreign trade department will directly supervise the commercial trade between Hu merchants and Datang."

"Also regarding the establishment of foreign trade markets, laws and regulations must be strictly enforced. If these Hu merchants are unwilling to abide by the laws and do not want to trade in foreign trade markets, they will all be classified as smuggling."

"There will be no tolerance for smuggling. Once discovered, all the items and stolen money will be confiscated immediately, and the businessmen involved in the smuggling will be directly sent to prison in accordance with the law."

"It is stipulated that foreign trade and commerce will never allow any fraudulent behavior. Once commercial fraudsters are found, they will be imprisoned in accordance with the law."

"Severely crack down on Hu businessmen's quality industry in Datang, and no Hu businessmen are allowed to develop quality business in Datang. Once discovered, the light ones will be sent to prison, and the serious ones will be executed."

"It is stipulated that all business activities of Hu merchants in Datang must follow the law and pay taxes. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you want to do business in Datang, you must abide by the rules of Datang."

......

Qin Mu will slowly explain the specific measures, which are clear, simple and clear, but very effective.

Wait for Qin Mu to finish speaking.

All the court officials fell silent and fell into deep thought.

The first is to set up a dedicated foreign trade department.

This alone made the business of Hu merchants official.

It is similar to the nature of the official operation of Yantie Iron.

As long as there are foreign trade transactions between Hu merchants and Datang, they must obey the decree of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

If you don't listen.

The end would be the same as smuggling salt and iron.

In major cities, set up special foreign trade markets.

The purpose is to control the Hu merchants in Datang territory in the future.
