Capital Datang

Yan Bei was originally very interested in doing business, but because he was born in a noble family, he did not dare to do business openly due to the discrimination against business in the Tang Dynasty. When he was in the state, he did not dare to do business publicly.

But here in Taiwan, there is no consideration. This is a paradise for doing business. Most of the people around are businessmen. In addition, although Taiwan is vigorously developing the plantation economy, commerce is still the most important pillar industry, so the business atmosphere Very strong, no matter whether it is official or private, there is no big discrimination against doing business. This has become a characteristic of Taiwan.

It is precisely because of this that Yanbei is very fond of Taiwan. After coming here, he is unwilling to leave, and even the long history of the Qi Palace is unwilling to do it again, and instead becomes the leading businessman in Taiwan.So when he heard Wang Kuang say that it was a big deal, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Brother Wang, what kind of big deal is it that both of you can't afford it?"

Seeing Yan Bei's performance, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu looked at each other with a smile, and said deliberately, "Brother Yan, to be honest, we have already contacted dozens of big businessmen for this big business, but we still feel that we are not strong enough. , so now I’m here to look for you again, Brother Yan, but according to our estimation, even if Brother Yan’s power is involved, it may be difficult to swallow this big deal!”

When Yan Bei heard Wang Kuang's exaggeration, he couldn't believe it at the moment: "Brother Wang, with your strength and my strength, plus the big businessmen behind you, I am afraid that nearly one-third of the power in Taiwan's business community is combined At the same time, such strong financial resources. Is there any big business that we can't swallow?" Capital Datang 415

Seeing Yan Bei's appearance, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu looked at each other again and laughed.Then they opened their mouths together and said, "Lin Yi's food!"

"Lin Yi? Food?" Yan Bei frowned after hearing this, and said in a very puzzled manner. "If my younger brother remembers correctly, it seems that the two of you are big grain merchants who control the grain trading in Linyi, and in places like Linyi, their grain can only be sold to us Han people, so now their grain has not been sold for a long time. Is it in our hands, is there any big business in it?"

Hearing Yanbei's question, it was Cui Yu who said this time: "Brother Yan, the grain trade in Linyi is indeed in the hands of us Han people, but you have to know. Linyi is a good place for grain production. Not only is the land fertile, And it can be cooked three times or even four times a year. The rice output of a small country is actually higher than the total rice output of our Tang Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that the grain output of Linyi alone is enough to feed half of our Tang Dynasty. s population."

When Cui Yu said this, he swallowed without any gentlemanly demeanor.Then he went on to say: "However, although Linyi's grain production is high, the grain produced is still in the hands of Lin Yiguo. It is not up to us to decide whether to sell it or not, so in daily transactions. Linyiguo often sells it at the price of They threatened us not to sell grain and "forced" us to increase the purchase price of grain, especially some time ago. They actually wanted to raise the price of grain to [-] yuan per shi, but the price of grain in our Datang is only about [-] yuan per shi .Although there is still a price difference of ten cents, but with the cost of sea transportation, storage, storage, etc., we basically have no profit, so now the grain trade in Linyi is deadlocked. If the other party does not lower the price, it is estimated that This year's grain trade is going to be ruined again."

Although Yanbei has never been in the grain business, he also knows that what Cui Yu said is not a lie. Although sea transportation saves costs compared to land transportation, it still increases costs after all, and Linyi's rice can only be sold well if it is shipped to the north. As for the price, after such a long sea journey, it is normal for the cost of rice to increase by ten yuan per stone. If the purchase price in Linyi has to rise to forty yuan, then the grain merchants in Datang will definitely not want it.

Thinking of this, Yan Bei jumped up angrily, and at the same time roared angrily: "Little Linyi, how dare you slap me, a merchant from the Tang Dynasty, you really don't know how to live or die!"

Seeing Yanbei's anger, both Wang Kuang and Cui Yu showed joy, and among them, Wang Kuang said while the iron was hot: "Brother Yan is right, Linyi is only a country of a hundred miles, with less than one million people. , such a small country, it is really hateful that such a small country has frequently made troubles with our Tang grain merchants, so we grain merchants thought of a once-and-for-all solution, but we are not strong enough to really implement it!"

When Yan Bei heard Wang Kuang's words 'once and for all', he suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "A once and for all solution, Brother Wang, don't you want to ask His Highness to send troops to deal with it?" Has Lin Yi been destroyed?"

However, as soon as Yanbei's words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately continued: "No, if you want to ask His Highness to send troops, why bother to come to me, after all, you and Liu Lang are not without friendship, let alone brother Cui It's still Liulang's uncle, this relationship is much closer than mine, and if Lin Yi is destroyed, you don't need to unite with all the grain merchants, so, could it be..."

At the end of Yan Bei's speech, his eyes lit up again, and he had already guessed the intention of Wang Kuang and the two who came to find him.But Wang Kuang and Cui Yu knew that Yan Bei was a smart person, so they were not surprised.Cui Yu stood up with a smile and said: "Brother Yan guessed right, Linyi is just a small country, and the number of soldiers in the country is only [-]. Our grain merchants are willing to pay for the slave hunting team of your association. The other party took a look, but after all, Lin Yi is a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty, so I'm afraid we have to say hello to Liu Lang about this matter."

Yan Bei had already guessed what Cui Yu and his wife were up to just now, but now that he heard the other party say it, he still couldn't help being a little excited. However, Linyi is a country after all, and although its force is not strong, it involves political matters, so This matter must be communicated with Li Yin, no wonder Wang Kuang said just now and he couldn't swallow it.

"Then what kind of 'color' do you want to give Lin Yi?" Yan Bei suppressed his excitement and asked very calmly.He is a businessman now, talking about business, so what he cares most now is what price he will pay for this business?As for the remuneration, this can be discussed later, after all, with the friendship between the three of them, the other party will definitely not let him suffer.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kuang immediately replied: "It's very simple. The capital of Linyi Kingdom is by the sea, and in addition to [-] elite defenders, there are also [-] ordinary soldiers in the city. If Brother Yan is willing, our grain merchants in the city are willing." As an internal response, as soon as your slave hunting team arrives, you can seize the city gate immediately, and then wait for you to enter the city, capture the king of Linyi, and destroy this small country in one fell swoop!"

It is said that the slave hunting team is a non-governmental organization, and destroying a small country with a non-governmental organization will definitely arouse the vigilance of the officials.However, Wang Kuang knew very well that the slave hunting teams in Taiwan and Dengzhou were actually Li Yin's outlying troops. Without Li Yin's acquiescence, they would never have crossed the line to attack a small country.

Yanbei heard Wang Kuang say that he wanted to destroy Linyi in one fell swoop, but he was not surprised. After he came to Taiwan, he had to deal with the southern countries, and he knew something about Linyi. Come on, there is no wēixié at all, the assembly of his slave hunting team is enough to destroy the opponent.

In addition, Yanbei still remembers that in the former Sui Dynasty, he fought a battle with Linyi. As a result, the former Sui Dynasty sent an army of more than [-] people to drive the king of Linyi from the land to the island. If the soldiers could not adapt The local climate caused nearly half of the people to suffer from dysentery, and even the coach died, so he had to withdraw his troops. As a result, Lin Yi took the opportunity to return to the country, but since then, Lin Yi's attitude towards the Central Plains Dynasty has become very serious. In awe, even after the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were established, the other party still paid tribute from time to time.

Thinking of Linyi's tribute, Yan Bei hesitated, and said immediately: "Brother Wang, Brother Cui, Linyi is our country of tribute in the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty also has a good impression of Linyi, so I am worried that Liulang Perhaps due to these considerations, we will not agree to our destruction of Linyi."

really!Wang Kuang and Cui Yu looked at each other. They had considered this point before, but thinking that Li Yin had destroyed Silla, Baekje, and Japan in a row, he probably wouldn't care about a small Linyi, but now even Yanbei also proposed This concern, then they have to carefully consider this matter.

In fact, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu got it wrong. Strictly speaking, Li Yin did not destroy Silla. After all, Silla’s country name and queen are still there, so Silla is still a country, and Li Yin is The husband of the Queen of Silla, it is also very reasonable for him to control Silla in this capacity.Capital Datang 415

As for Baekje and Wa Kingdom, they were destroyed by Li Yin because they participated in the attack on Silla, and there was a very legitimate reason for this.But Lin Yi is different. After all, he did not take the initiative to provoke Li Yin, and there is no princess to marry Li Yin as a concubine, so there is no excuse to destroy him.

Seeing Cui Yu and Wang Kuang's faces full of worry after listening to his words, Yan Bei suddenly laughed and said, "You two don't need to worry, I just said it's possible. Other aspects are fine. But for this kind of state affairs, I have never been able to understand his temper, maybe after he knows your plan, he will raise his hands in favor of it, not necessarily!"

Wang Kuang also felt reasonable when he heard it, and immediately said: "Yes, we can't just guess here, or send someone to find Liu Lang and ask him about his attitude."

"Leave this to me. The younger sister will marry Liu Lang soon. As the eldest brother, I will go back to Chang'an to pick her up in Dengzhou. I will test Liu Lang's attitude at that time." Cui Yu said immediately.

When Wang Kuang and Yanbei heard that Li Min was going to marry Cui Mengxue, they congratulated Cui Yu immediately, and at the same time they planned in their minds to arrange their affairs before going back to Dengzhou to attend Li Min's wedding, although this time they were not marrying the concubine. , but the woman is Cui Yu's younger sister, and they are friends, so they have to cheer up no matter what.

After discussing Lin Yi's affairs, Yan Bei took the lead and invited Wang Kuang and Cui Yu to drink in the shower in the brothel. They were all accompanied by beauties from other countries, and the three of them couldn't think of leaving.But the next morning, Yanbei got up early, and he was going to the port to see off the fleet exploring the route!
