Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 825

[Chapter 450 10 Years of Changes and Blinks]

Chapter Four Hundred and Fifty Ten years have changed in the blink of an eye

.

The third floor of Changfeng Pavilion once again welcomed distinguished guests. Li Dong, who had been in contact with the people who had been in contact with the clan before, came here today and gathered more businessmen from Silla to gather on the third floor of Changfeng Pavilion to discuss event.

“Everyone, the road construction has been decided. Let’s see how much living money you have on hand. Collect enough money as soon as possible, and build the road. It will give me some benefits.”

Li Dong saw everyone .

He put his eyes on himself, took out a piece of paper from his arms, pushed it in front of a person next to him, and told a group of people when he passed it on.

There are not many words on the paper, and you can see from the beginning to the end at a glance. The room immediately became quiet. No one answered Li Dong’s words for the time being. When he came, there was a hint of worry in his eyebrows.

The person who read the words on the paper first hesitated and asked, “Dongjia Li, 1 million is not a small amount for me to wait. The people above only said that there will be a reward in the future, but I can’t find out when I wait. When will it be in the future, and how much will the reward be? It is worrying.”

Others also thought of this, nodded and looked at Li Dong again, trying to get a specific time and quantity from his mouth.

Li Dong glanced around, and felt helpless in his heart. With a million strokes, he let himself and everyone suffer like this. The various news that came back from the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the mountain-like financial resources of the Zhang Wang family, Even ordinary merchants with a little skill in various places can collect millions of dollars when they need it.

This is the gap. If you think about ten years of money, how could a businessman in Datang have such a skill?

Ten years is long, like the sun rising and the sunset is endless, but short, like the wind and colorful clouds, when I look back, it suddenly flows away.

When I went to meet with people from the clan, I also mentioned this. In the past ten years, the children who entered the school at the age of ten have grown up. In ten years, the yield of grain per mu in Datang has more than quadrupled.

Ten years later, perhaps the mountains have not changed their color, and the water has not weakened their waves, but the Tang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. Ten years ago, Li Longji could only treat Silla with tenderness. Ten years later, Li Longji With an order, the gunboats surrounded.

“Hey~” Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn’t help sighing, looked at the people who were still making their own calculations, and said, “Everyone, now the Tang Dynasty has piled up grain into mountains, gathered people into forests, and various advanced technologies have emerged one after another. If you still think about that little bit of self-interest, maybe there will be no Silla in ten years, and then you and I will both be sinners, and maybe you won’t even have the qualifications to be sinners.” When

everyone heard Li Dong’s words, they were stunned for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, it’s pretty much the same. Once Xinluo is annexed by Tang Dynasty, the status of himself and others will not be guaranteed.

Knowing this, but still uncomfortable, sitting opposite Li Dong, one person moved, and asked, “Since you know, why didn’t the imperial family spend money to build the road, and insisted on embarrassing us businessmen?”

“It’s not the Tang Dynasty .

What a mess, in the past, when I went to Datang to pay tribute, when Datang accepted things, they would give more things, such as money, technology, cloth, and leather, as a reward. Later, I don’t know why. After sending a lot of things, the things that Li Longji rewarded have changed.

There are gorgeous glass products, beautiful and exquisite furniture, and there are even coupons for dinner at Zhuangyuan Building and Deyiju. For every 100 yuan spent, there are You can use a 20-cent voucher. Recently, it has started to include Shuiyunjian and Bihaiyinsha. It is indeed a lot, and if you give it, it is a million.

But what is the use? Glass, furniture, can’t eat or drink, If I really want to spend one million of the vouchers, I have to take out four million to eat and drink. In

addition, some members of the clan like to have fun, and I can exchange my Silla’s money for the luxury goods of the Tang Dynasty. Where is the money? People of insight found out about this and were very worried, so they found me and waited for a temporary relief.”

Li Dong was angry when he talked about this.

The others fell silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

After a while, someone asked in a low voice,

“Dong’s Lee, then even if I collect enough money, will it be good for Silla?”

, even if it is not for one’s own selfish interests, to spend money, to build a good road to the Tang Dynasty for Xinluo, there must be some effect.

Li Dong nodded, “That’s the truth. When I went to see the people above, I also thought about it. The people above said that it is not a good thing that there are many ships from the Tang Dynasty going to and from Silla. Let them be familiar with my Silla waters. Silla will not be able to guard against it if troops are transported to attack.

So in the future, we are not allowed to enter our Silla land from any place at sea, and only allow to stop at two specific wharves, and land transportation will naturally become the top priority

. Starting from Datang, I have less production in Silla. With the existence of tariffs, we can sell less goods to Datang, or not to sell goods to Datang. As long as the goods from Datang come in, we have to pay 20% of the tariff. The

money, the clan will use it to build weapons and protect people’s livelihood.

This money is free, the more they bring in, the more we take advantage of, and there are other benefits, such as ordinary people in Silla can’t afford it Meat, but Datang meat is cheap, and you all know that in the current Datang, as long as the people are hard-working enough and don’t need too much skill, even if they want to eat meat every day.

Datang is shipped, I think the price will not be too high, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com is at least cheaper than our own side, and there are other things such as cloth and silk, especially grain. As mentioned above, if you suffer a disaster, you can use the 20% tariff to directly buy the grain of the Tang Dynasty.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up, I found out that it was indeed a good plan, and was about to agree to it, when one of them asked a new question, “According to this, I, Silla, will always take advantage, isn’t that Zhang Xiaobao an idiot? I would rather believe that the sun will come out in the west than that he has such good intentions. .”

“Yes.” Several people said at the same time.

“This… Maybe it’s because the production of Jilizhou is too much, he can’t sell it, he wants to sell it to my Silla, or maybe he wants to get the good things from my Silla to the Tang Dynasty faster, even if the two are different. , but he is going to repair the road to facilitate the arrival of the Tang army, that is just a little faster, there is no good road, the army of the Tang Dynasty wants to come, who can stop it?”

Li Dong said, even his own He didn’t have a clue in his heart, he understood that Zhang Xiaobao could not be treated with ordinary people’s views.

“Xiu, no matter what he thinks, he took out more money than us, so let’s take advantage of it first.” One person gritted his teeth and spoke out.
