Chapter 436 Trade in the Western Regions
Qu Chengwen made the skill of Modao, and he made great contributions to get the first gold medal for avoiding death. Hu Bugui also knew that no matter how great his contribution was, he could not be crowned king again, so he also asked for a gold medal.

He is arrogant and domineering, and offended many people. When he is alive, he can protect his family from any worries. Once he dies, he is afraid that he will be criticized by others. If he wants a gold medal for avoiding death for peace of mind, it is also for the family. A talisman.

Jiang Yuanxi responded immediately, and the Ming decree bestowed a second gold medal for avoiding death. Now the courtiers are crazy, the second side!
This is the treasure that can save the lives of a family at a critical moment!
They are fighting so hard because they want to keep their family prosperous and prosperous. No family can guarantee that they will not make any mistakes. At least in case they are on the wrong team and the emperor wants to liquidate, at least there is a talisman.

However, no matter how greedy they are, they can only stare blankly, because Jiang Yuanxi once again made it clear that those who are not the great merit of the country will not be rewarded. The credits of Qu Chengwen and Hu Bugui are the great merit of the country. Huo Jingshan was still in the golden land at that time.

Jiang Yuanxi ordered people to make a padded jacket from the cotton that Hu Bugui brought back, tried it on himself, and found it was really warm, so he immediately ordered the Shaofu to lead the people from the Western Regions to plant a large amount of cotton.

The Shaofu's big farming order went to the golden land, but most of the other officials of the Shaofu came here under the summoning order of Zhu Xuezhen, the farmer's son. The peasants are very proficient in farming. Suitable fields are used to grow cotton.

People in the Western Regions can't speak Dayong language, but what is admirable is that all of the 120 people who followed Hu Bugui back from the Western Regions can speak Western Region language, which is why Hu Bugui was able to get along well in the Western Regions.

The success of any person has blood and sweat behind it.

With the opening of the eighteen cities in the Western Regions, Jiang Yuanxi entrusted Jiang Bojin with full responsibility for the trade.

Jiang Bojin first gave two of the qualifications of merchants to the royal family and the household department. The royal family went to the Western Regions to earn money from merchants and used it for the clan. He felt that instead of spending the gold and silver in the national treasury or the internal treasury, it is better for the royal family to find ways to earn gold and silver. For the use of the clan, this approach is like not treating oneself as a royal family, but still treating it as a family. Every family will have some clan members who deliberately do not go into official careers. They specialize in business to earn gold and silver, so as to ensure the supply and marketing of the family.

According to Jiang Bojin's nature of not wanting to suffer losses, of course the Ministry of Households cannot be left behind, and the profits made by the Ministry of Households are used for the treasury.

As for the remaining business qualifications, Jiang Bojin is open to the outside world, but there are very few people who can participate in this feast. First of all, they have to pay two thousand gold as a guard-the departure to the Western Regions will be fully escorted by the blood wolf army, and Jiang Bojin After discussing with Jiang Yuanxi and Hu Bugui, [-]% of the gold was used for the hard work of the blood wolf army, and the remaining [-]% was handed over to the national treasury.

The two thousand gold is only the primary qualification for admission, and the second condition is that the goods of the merchant cannot be lost. Jiang Bojin regards the road to the Western Regions as a long-term big business. He has been a merchant for many years, and he has long understood that he wants the rich and powerful to be willing to spend gold. Those goods must not only be high quality, but also fashionable and unique.

No one is a fool, if you treat others as a fool, the business will never succeed.

The household department will be fully responsible for checking the quality of the goods registered by each company. If someone shoves the goods as good ones, they will not be eligible to participate in this feast next time.

There are quite a few people who meet these two conditions, at least there are dozens of aristocratic families and big merchants, but because it is their first time to set off for business in the Western Regions, and they have no previous experience in everything, out of caution, Jiang Bojin Only ten places were released to the outside world, and this time it was really robbed. Everyone knows that the first person to eat crabs can not only lay a solid foundation, but also earn a lot of money. The wolf army learned from the mouth that there are many gems, valuable blankets, furs, etc. in the Western Regions, but silk, tea, etc. are scarce in the Western Regions. This is their business opportunity.

In the end, each of the five surnames grabbed a quota, and the remaining five were divided among two aristocratic families and three big merchant families. Just these ten quotas have already earned [-] gold for the treasury. The blood wolf army who traveled to the Western Regions this time also had bulging wallets.

In July of the third year of Yongtaichu, a hot summer day, a huge team set off from Chang'an City, crossed the territory of the Biankang people from the northwest to the Western Regions, and the person who secretly slandered Jiang Bojin for receiving two thousand gold and a black heart saw it with his own eyes. When they passed by the Biankang tribe, when those Biankang people seemed to have a green light in their eyes, they stopped talking about Jiang Bojin's black heart.

Those big Biankang tribes were eager to move when they saw the large amount of goods carried by their team, but they suppressed their desire to rob when they saw the blood wolf army full of evil spirits and full of cruelty, and instead guarded the blood wolf army vigilantly. The middle-aged and middle-aged men of the Zongpai tribe fell far behind the team, and stopped when they saw that they had left the range of the tribe.

After the four Biankang tribes encountered the same situation, the ten families in the team were extremely fortunate to be escorted by the blood wolf army. If they relied on their own family's guards, they might not be able to get out of this grassland.

And these people also put aside the idea of ​​doing it alone. The leaders of these family businessmen were ordered by the patriarch to secretly record the road to the Western Regions along the way. After this time, they will be able to do business by themselves next time. It's not necessary to pay the imperial court two thousand gold every time, after all, two thousand gold is a pain for them, but now they feel that they would rather pay two thousand gold than lose money and life.

The guard of the blood wolf army watched the sneaky actions of the ten families with cold eyes along the way, and did not stop them when they found out, just let them go. Their blood wolf army collects [-]% of the gold, which is a big mouth for a lion. These people have no idea how many brothers he died in order to get through to the eighteen cities of the Western Regions. Those are all the elite of the blood wolf army. The coach's face was so distressed that if he took them there, he would be able to leave their blood wolf army and go it alone. The guard would not be worried at all. Even if he had the ability to walk through Biankang territory, there would still be eighteen cities in the Western Regions waiting ahead.

It is said that what kind of coach will bring out what kind of soldiers, the blood wolf army is as ruthless as Hu Bugui, the guards only told the royal family and the people of the household department in advance of the danger that may appear ahead, and the ten major families Without mentioning a word, they will only act when they are in danger. Along the way, the members of the top ten families all looked disheveled, thinking that this trip was a fat job, and they almost buried their bones in the desert. The army and the others couldn't get out.

But after they bartered the goods they brought on this trip, the smiles on their faces never stopped, and they all satirized the people in the Western Regions for their shallow eyelids. They were all smiling, and when they returned, they gathered around the people in the household department to test when they would do business in the Western Regions next time, even if they had to pay two thousand gold, they would be willing.

　Here I come, my health is not very good recently, I try to update on time, if not, I will guarantee twice a day.
