Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 259
"Six to one, six to one. Don makes it possible for us to equalize the price of gold and silver?"

"No, send someone to throw out the rest of the gold. As long as it drops to five to one, the gold will be recycled immediately."

"Emissary Tang, according to this situation, the Roman Emperor will definitely sell the gold in the palace, and we will make a lot of money by then. Why should we sell it now?"

"We have been making trouble for so many days, and almost all the merchants from the surrounding countries rushed here. If we don't close the market quickly and let them exchange all the silver for gold, we will lose everything."

"Oh, Envoy Tang is thoughtful. We have left 200 million taels of gold, and I will get someone to sell it right away."

"Okay, remember to act fast, as long as the silver price falls, close the market quickly before everyone reacts."

"Yes"

The Roman Palace, the emperor of Rome has been busy this week.Watching helplessly as the mountain of gold he had accumulated began to depreciate, the inconspicuous silver seemed so important at this time.

At this moment, an eunuch ran into the palace and shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, I am overjoyed. There was a lot of silver in various places this morning, and the price of gold fell. The price of silver in various places has returned to normal overnight."

"Really? That's really great. But when something like this happens, we have to learn a lesson. In the future, the palace will also have to hoard a large amount of silver, and notify the Minister of Finance to sell the gold in the palace and collect a batch of silver from the market." Come."

"Yes"

As a large number of nobles sold their gold, many civilians who had silver in their hands became rich overnight.But it also caused many nobles to go bankrupt, and a big storm ended, but the common people became the biggest beneficiaries.

And since the gold on the market was sold out, the part of the gold thrown out from the palace could barely meet the needs of the people.For a while, the price of gold remained high, and the ratio of gold to silver became one to eleven.

The merchants who brought the money were dumbfounded at this moment, they were investing.But this time he was caught in a big stumble, and the silver was urgently transported from the country, but at this time he found that the price of silver fell.They tossed and tossed for a long time, but they got nothing, and they had to pay a lot. While they were all depressed, they were helpless.

On the sea, Long Feiyu met with those messengers again.Looking at the mountain of gold, the group of people were very happy.This time, the Roman nobles were treated too badly.

There is not much gold invested financially, because the country is not afraid of the disappearance of silver at all.They can forcibly change the currency, but the nobles cannot. If the gold drops, their wealth will also depreciate rapidly.After finally spending a lot of money to exchange it for silver, I was told that the price of silver had dropped.One can imagine their situation.

In order to deceive others, Long Feiyu did not use Tang Dynasty soldiers in this operation.In fact, there is no need. There are countless things that are thrown out, and there are also countless things that are recycled.He doesn't have to worry about people from these countries being greedy for ink, even if they sometimes lower the price during the acquisition, but this has nothing to do with Long Feiyu, and some small profits will go with him.

Looking at these things, Long Feiyu smiled and said: "This mountain of treasures belongs to the country, and we all serve the country. This time we have a very happy cooperation. So I decided to take the part that I deserve After that, I will give 1 taels of gold to each of the envoys. I hope you don’t think too little, after all, I have no way to make decisions about these things.”

Hearing that Long Feiyu was willing to give them 1 taels of gold, these people were overjoyed.In fact, they took the money of the country for this cooperation, and it is up to them to tell how much they bring back.Long Feiyu actually gave them 1 taels each, which was quite a fortune.

Not long after, more than a dozen ten-foot ships sailed into this sea area.The leader was naturally Yang Peng, a military figure. Seeing Yang Peng's arrival, Long Feiyu explained to the group: "Yang Peng, you all should know each other. He was the one who sent gold last time."

After everyone greeted each other, Long Feiyu waved his hands and said, "Yang Peng, go and get 600 million taels of gold. Take out 8 taels of gold and share it with these adults."

"Yes"

Yang Peng didn't know what was going on, the gold that was originally only 1000 million taels became 600 million more in the blink of an eye.In fact, it is only 500 million more.

When Long Feiyu sent an envoy to facilitate this matter, he once said that he would take 20.00% of the net profit after the matter was completed.Those people had no idea about Tang Envoy's strategy, but he gave out 1000 million taels of gold, and the eight countries shared the 1000 million, so it's okay for him to take 20.00%.After all, the money will be donated to Rome sooner or later in their treasury. This time, after earning a little money from Rome, at least the money for the donated money will be settled.

Pull the gold back to Long Feiyu and return the gold to those merchants, and he has 87 million taels of gold here.Afraid of troubles, after packing their bags, Datang's fleet went out to sea again, and stopped at a deserted place above the sea.

Seeing that the fleet docked again, a businessman boarded Long Feiyu's boat and asked, "Marshal, why did it stop again?"

"Oh, we have too much gold on board this time, and it will be bad in case of a storm, so I decided to melt our gold into gold bricks, with a limit of [-] kilograms. If you want to melt, I can help you."

"No need, if we fuse together, we will have to fuse again when we arrive in Datang, which would be too much of a loss."

"Your boat is small. If you don't melt the gold nuggets, the gold will fall into the water in case of a storm, and it will be impossible to salvage it. You can put your own names on your gold bricks. In this way, It will not be confused, even if others steal it, they can still find it.”

"Put your own name on it? That sounds good. The marshal should melt mine first. Carve my name on all the gold bricks. If people in the clan use gold in the future, they will see my name at first sight. Also Lest they forget who seems to be making money for them."

"Don't forget, you don't have the business funds that your clansmen gave you to start a business with the money you brought. It's really shameless, I will engrave you the Taiyuan Wang Family."

Long Feiyu led the team out to sea, but Chang'an City was surprisingly quiet.Because of Long Feiyu's departure, Li Shimin heard about Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu, and no one made him unhappy anymore.

But it's gone, Long Feiyu caused trouble, and Li Shimin felt that his life was gloomy.Apart from looking for the only pleasure in that concubine every day, there is nothing for him to worry about.

Since all the decent enemies around were crippled, no one dared to blatantly touch Datang's whiskers.Although the ministers in the court didn't like Long Feiyu very much, they implemented the policies proposed by Long Feiyu meticulously.

That day, Li Shimin was having a banquet for the ministers in the harem, when a guard came in and saluted, "Your Majesty, the fleet of the envoy has arrived in the capital. The vice-admiral of the fleet, Yang Peng, is waiting outside the hall."

"Yang Peng? Where's Long Feiyu?"

"I don't know, only Yang Peng came here."

"Announce him in."

"Yes"

After a while, Yang Peng, dressed in armor, walked into the main hall, saluted Li Shimin and said, "My subject, Yang Peng, see Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to salute because you have armor on your body. Didn't you go out to sea with Long Feiyu? Why did you return alone?"

"We went on a mission to the western countries, and the Marshal took part of his troops to look for the immortal species. He ordered us to escort the caravan back first. He also brought envoys from various countries, and they came to establish diplomatic relations with our Tang Dynasty."

"Oh"

"Is there really a country in the sea?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the country we are going to is the end of our land silk road, the Roman Empire. This time we have brought envoys from more than [-] countries in the West, and they are waiting outside the palace. I don't know when His Majesty will summon them ?”

"Oh, it's actually a foreign envoy. Let's go, dear friends, let's meet these foreign envoys together."

After the ministers set up their shelves in the hall, Sanbao shouted: "Xuan, the envoys from all over the world are here."

After a while, a group of foreign people of different shapes walked into the hall under the leadership of a middle-aged man.They greeted Li Shimin one by one.

Staring at the leading man, Li Shimin came and said, "I have long heard that your Roman Empire has a vast territory and rich resources. Unfortunately, due to the high mountains and far roads, I have no chance to see you. Today, I saw visitors from a foreign country. It really fulfilled my long-cherished wish."

"Your Majesty is very polite. It is my honor to be sent to the Tang Dynasty. I heard the Tang envoy talk about the beauty and richness of the Tang Dynasty earlier. Seeing it today really deserves the reputation."

"Oh, you can actually speak Chinese, I'm so versatile."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is absurd. The envoy of your country is a real genius. Not only is he extremely intelligent, but he also knows the languages ​​of seven or eight big countries around us. Compared with him, the Chinese I just learned is not worth mentioning." gone."

"Hehe, the envoy doesn't need to underestimate himself. Long Feiyu is also a household name in my Great Tang. The envoy doesn't need to pay too much attention. I don't know what shortcomings my Great Tang has compared with your Rome?"

Li Shimin's words made the Roman envoy's eyelids twitch. This is the gap.When Long Feiyu arrived in Rome, what they asked was how Rome compares to Datang?But what the emperor asked was what's wrong with it. Although the meanings of the two sentences are similar, they sound different to people.The Roman emperor was a comparison, and the Tang emperor was learning from an emperor who had a sense of comparison and an emperor who kept learning.

After thinking about it, the Roman envoy quickly laughed and said: "Your Majesty's words are not good enough. Of course, my Rome is not as far away as the Tang Dynasty. My Roman palace is inlaid with precious stones, while the Tang Dynasty's palace is majestic, but it is far away. That kind of splendor and wealth."

As soon as the Roman envoy finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyelids twitched wildly.And the courtiers around are ready to participate in impeachment.Originally, Li Shimin was going to tear down the heavy cover of the palace, but was stopped by Long Feiyu.

After a long time, Li Shimin didn't care anymore, but today he was brought up by the Roman envoy in front of everyone.This made Datang lose face.It also pushed Long Feiyu into the endless abyss.

Just when the ministers were about to make excuses to reprimand Long Feiyu, the voice of the Roman envoy changed: "The nobles in Rome are extravagant and lustful, but the lives of the common people are very difficult. I remember that when the envoy Tang entered my Roman palace for the first time, he was also very surprised. Our monarch once asked the Tang envoy: "How does the palace of the lonely king compare with your Tang Dynasty? "

The Tang envoy laughed and said: "Naturally, it is more magnificent and dazzling than our Tang Dynasty." Just when our majesty was overjoyed, the Tang envoy said: "Our emperor is not willing to spend such a price to build a house that will hurt his son. The people live in hardship, and our majesty is not willing to separate him and the people into two worlds because of a high wall." Tang envoys once said that their majesty said that the king is a boat, the people are water, and water can carry a boat and capsize it.He tells us that their Majesty once devoured locusts for his people.We didn't believe it at first, but when we went to Datang and saw the lives of the people in Datang, I believed it.Only a monarch who cares about his own people can cultivate such outstanding talents. I have seen too many along the way.Without too much explanation, the smiles on the faces of the people are the best interpretation of happiness and peace.Originally, I heard those businessmen say that there is a magical country in the east, but today I saw it and it turned out to be a false rumor. "

Hearing the words of sincere admiration from the Roman envoy, Li Shimin rarely blushed.However, the surrounding ministers who were planning to participate in the impeachment suddenly fell silent.The Minister of the Ministry of Industry also wiped his cold sweat secretly, he was almost ready to push the palace from the ground like His Majesty.There is no palace to change, and their life in the Ministry of Industry has taken a turn for the worse.This is good, the palace won't be able to move for a while, and if Long Feiyu wants to come back, he won't dare to move.
