Datang: Invincible in the world, the widow of King Zhao of the West

Chapter 155 The minister of Goguryeo is in a hurry
trade city.

After Princess Silla left, nothing major seemed to happen in the trade city.

but.

At this time, in Zhao Wang's mansion.

An old man is waiting for Li Xun's final answer.

"The ginseng on Changbai Mountain is not yours, and this king can send people to pick it."

"But, this king wants to give you a way to do business, but what about you?"

Li Xun looked at the old man.

Said lightly: "You don't want to do business with this king, and this king doesn't seem to stop you, right? Now you want to continue to do business with this king. If it were you, you would still do business with someone who does not talk about trust. Is it business?"

The elder of the Mohe tribe said: "My lord, we didn't do well in this matter. We are willing to bear all the consequences, but please ask your lord, our business can continue."

Without the approval of the trade city, whoever they do business with, even if there is a huge profit, those merchants are not willing to do business with them.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

They don't live off this business, they have other businesses. Since you Mohe clan have offended the trade city, who wants to do business with you for their own sake?
Again.

Even if the profit is big, if he can't even go to Chang'an City, his own life may be taken in, which is not worthwhile.

Therefore, during this period of time, the elders of the Mohe clan came to the door almost every day.

Li Xun said: "Old man, I know that you are working hard for your people, but business is business."

"My king's trade city is not for charity. If everyone is like this, then what's the use of my king's establishment of this trade city? Don't you think so?"

The old Mohe tribe nodded quickly.

"My lord said so!"

"My lord said so!"

Li Xun continued: "So, old man, this king is not a hard-hearted person, the price is still the original price, and this king will not increase or decrease."

"However, this king has something to say beforehand. If the Mohe clan does such a thing again, this king doesn't mind. Erase the Mohe clan!"

Speaking of the latter, Li Xun's tone already carried killing intent!
"Thank you, my lord!"

"Don't worry, my lord, if such a thing comes up again, I am willing to apologize with death!"

Most of the daily needs of the Mohe family come from the trade city. Without the trade city, their family will return to the old "old" life again. As the same sentence, who is used to eating snowflake salt, who wants to go to the city? What about licking the salt cloth?
No one will.

And the benefits brought by snowflake salt are becoming more and more obvious. Their complexions are no longer yellow, their strength has also increased, their physique has also improved, and fewer people are sick.

This is a series of chain reactions brought about by snowflake salt.

It can be said that without the trade city, they would not even be able to eat salt. This is the reality.

"Well, the next business will be the same as before." Li Xun said.

"Alright, my lord, our ginseng has been brought and can be traded at any time."

Goguryeo.

Palace of the King.

"My lord, we can't go on like this. If this goes on, our money will all be taken away by Datang."

Minister in charge of people's livelihood in Goguryeo.

I was a little panicked at this time, I thought it was nothing before, but when these merchants raised the price, all the disadvantages were revealed.

King Gao was a little annoyed.

Delay yourself from eating canned meat, and keep talking.

"Then what do you all think?"

King Gao asked.

"Your Majesty, I thought that we could establish a friendly trade relationship with Datang. Now the price of the goods from Datang has doubled compared to before. I have already learned that King Zhao in the trade city is at the border. What kind of cross-border tax is charged, 20.00% of the goods are charged, but those merchants have fully doubled the price."

"Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty can issue orders to stabilize prices."

"Stable prices?"

"Are you kidding? If those merchants don't want to, have you ever thought about what to do?"

Dawang Gao was dizzy by these words, and said: "What do you mean, that is to say, none of you can solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Silla Kingdom has submitted its credentials to Datang, and will be on good terms with Datang forever!"

King Gao heard this.

Only then did he become slightly concerned, if that was the case.

King Gao was a little worried, and asked: "Silla Kingdom has a good relationship with Datang. If Datang uses troops against us, will there be any movement from Silla Kingdom?"

Because of the terrain.

King Gao doesn't need to worry about Datang, but he is worried about Silla Baekje!

The three of them are next to each other.

If Silla stabs them in the back, it will hurt even if they don't die!

"My lord, please don't worry about this, the mere Silla country doesn't dare to fight us!"

"The current situation is that if this continues, our people will become lazy towards Datang. If it goes on for a long time, then Datang will destroy us without spending a single soldier!"

One of the ministers said.

King Gao waved his hand: "You can figure it out yourself, I just want the result!"

"Disperse!"

In the trade city.

Li Xun is reading a book.

Wang Xuance walked over.

Li Xun put down his book and asked, "Aren't you training soldiers? Why are you free today?"

Wang Xuance said, "My lord, there is movement in Goguryeo."

"Oh?"

Li Xun became interested.

Asked: "What's the news? Could it be that they are going to raise troops to attack me, Datang?"

Wang Xuance shook his head and said, "No."

"A minister in Goguryeo handed us a letter of war."

As he spoke, Wang Xuance took out a letter from his pocket.

"War book?"

After Li Xun took it and read it, his expression became strange.

"Wang Xuance, tell me, is this Goguryeo man mentally ill?"

Wang Xuance nodded approvingly.

Said: "My lord, after we saw this gauntlet, we also thought so."

"Compete with us. If I lose, will I no longer charge border crossing tax?"

"What does this king have to do with them for collecting this border crossing tax?"

Li Xun was a little confused.

I am making money, now you tell me not to make money.

Am I crazy, or are you crazy?

"Cough cough."

Wang Xuance said: "My lord, don't you know what the price of the goods in our trade city is in Koguryo?"

Li Xun asked curiously, "What price?"

In Li Xun's imagination, those merchants would increase the price by up to 50.00%. He believed that the people of Goguryeo could afford such a price.

"Those merchants doubled the price of the goods!"

"Especially the salt, they have more than tripled!"

hiss! !

Li Xun was taken aback.

Good guy, these people are indeed businessmen!
I just took 20.00% from you, but when you got there, it directly increased by [-]%? ?

How cruel!
"So, you mean that the people of Goguryeo can't afford it, and those ministers are in a hurry?"

Wang Xuance nodded: "That's right."

"But the king of Goguryeo is not in a hurry yet."

"What are they? They say they want to compete? Tell them, if you want to compete, retreat fifty miles and let us cross the river."
