Yinshan Hou, congratulations! "
Upstairs in Xihe, Cui Zhongqing raised his hand to Tang Ping.
"But Yinshanhou's newlyweds shouldn't be at home..."
As he spoke, he winked at Tang Ping.
"Ahem!" He cried over and over again. Tang Ping didn't even raise his head when he was having breakfast at home this morning.
Now he feels that his main goal is to break through his relationship with Wang Qingluan to the next stage.
But now...
What's the saying? A gentleman has no hatred overnight!
Well, that's what it should be said. This time Nalu Dongzan of Tubo came to cause trouble again, and the envoys from other countries gave him a generous gift. Tang Ping had no intention of settling the matter with them for the time being.
But Tubo is not that simple anymore. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"This time I came to Brother Cui to discuss a big business deal."
"Oh, big business?" Cui Zhongqing became more energetic. Recently, aristocratic families, especially big aristocratic families like theirs, are basically keeping their tail between their legs.
The mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of the royal family. In addition to deterring envoys from various countries, don't think that families like them will have an easy time.
Now the Tang Dynasty officials clearly want to weaken the rights of major aristocratic families.
In this world, whoever has the bigger fist always has the final say.
The Li Tang royal family, who owns the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty, is the one with the biggest fist, so now their rules are the rules.
These aristocratic families can only hide their capabilities and bide their time.
This is not the first time something like this has happened. This family has been in the family for hundreds of years. Who hasn’t experienced that era of the heyday of imperial power?
At times like this, these aristocratic families would keep a low profile and slowly accumulate information.
Wait until the next time the royal power weakens, and come out again to stand on the cusp of the storm.
Only those in the Wang family who can't see the situation clearly would think of seizing the king's power and sitting in that position themselves.
Seeing Cui Zhongqing's interest, Tang Ping stopped beating around the bush. Among the aristocratic families, Cui Zhongqing was the one who liked him the most.
"The nobles of Tubo now have a lot of money!"
Cui Zhongqing nodded. Datang purchased wool from Tibet at a high price. How could they not know?
They even knew how much money Tibet received based on the amount of wool they purchased.

But the Cui family has always been in the grain business. This time, the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the export of grain. In addition, the cultivation of potatoes had an impact on the traditional grain structure and industry.
The Cui family has been dealing with this problem now, so even though they know that the Tubo people are rich now, it is difficult for the Cui family to get a share of the pie.
"Yinshanhou, let's be honest, what do you want from our Cui family?"
"Just do it!" Tang Ping gave a thumbs up: "I want the Cui family's shipping channel!"
"The Cui family's shipping channel?" Cui Zhongqing looked at Tang Ping and asked, "How much is it?"
He was not surprised that Tang Ping asked him for a channel to transport goods, because if Tang Ping could find him, it was probably the only useful thing for the Cui family.
Even with Tang Ping's status, he didn't believe that Tang Ping really dared to smuggle grain to Tubo, so the only remaining channel for transporting goods was the Cui family.
In the past, the Cui family also bought beef and mutton from Tubo for a long time, and then sold Tang Dynasty's grain to Tubo to make profits.
But now that grain exports to Tibet are prohibited, this line is cut off.
But those people who took away the goods are still there.
Don't underestimate these people who take goods. In ancient times, it was not possible to just pull the goods away on the highway.
You have to travel through mountains and rivers, and the hardships involved cannot be explained by outsiders.
And a mature caravan traveling to Tubo is definitely faster and more economical than a newly built caravan.
In addition to the terrain, the management of various forces along the way is not a simple matter.
Therefore, what Tang Ping was interested in were those who had traded grain with Tubo, which was the Cui family's shipping channel.
Moreover, Li Shimin could not suppress the aristocratic family blindly. What he wanted was a balance.
If the aristocratic family is really completely suppressed, then emerging nobles like Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong will have no opponents.
Therefore, the weakness of aristocratic families can only be limited to a certain range.
A relatively obedient family like the Cui family still needs to be supported.
This is one of the reasons why Tang Ping took the initiative to find Cui Zhongqing.
"I'll ship the goods to you. The price is agreed upon first. Then you can only sell these things to Tibet. But how much you can sell them for is your business. Even if I keep selling things for a penny, I will never be jealous."
It is impossible for the government to print money endlessly, which will cause social

Inflation, so Datang spent so much real money to buy things in Tubo, naturally it had to find a way to earn it back.
The Cui family is their agent, and businessmen pursue profits. If the price is set for the Cui family, their enthusiasm will probably not be high.
And now Tang Ping has said that it is up to the Cui family to sell as much as they can, so the Cui family will definitely go all out.
"What kind of goods do you have?"
Cui Zhongqing asked, this is the key to the problem. Some things have high profits, and some things have low profits. It takes a long time to go back and forth to such a far place. If the profits are low, I am afraid the Cui family will not be so willing.
"Mirror, tea brick, perfume, soap, cardigan!"
Every time Tang Ping said something, Cui Zhongqing's eyelids twitched.
These are all proper luxuries.
Not to mention the mirror, envoys from various countries came and asked for things to buy back.
Tea bricks are also a daily necessity there.
As for perfumes and soaps, they are also highly sought after by local nobles. It is not easy to take a bath on the plateau, and their daily diet always leaves them with a bad smell, so there is a huge demand for perfumes and soaps.
There is also the new top-notch woolen sweater from Changan.
These clothes woven with wool thread are not only beautiful, but also light and warm. They are much more comfortable than wearing a leather jacket layer by layer.
Nowadays, it is difficult for ladies in the entire Chang'an City to find a single piece of clothing, especially some styles hand-woven by women in Shanghe Village, which are highly sought after among the royal family.
If these items are sold, Cui Zhongqing believes that even if the price offered by Tang Ping is twice the retail price in Chang'an, the Cui family will still have huge profit margins.
"Our Cui family took over this job."
Cui Zhongqing nodded directly and agreed.
Only a fool would refuse to accept such a thing. The reason why he could find the Cui family was probably because he had such a warm relationship with Tang Ping in the past.
"Okay, then we've agreed on the price. We'll give it to you at Chang'an's retail price!"
The wholesale quantity and retail price would have made the capitalists of Tang Ping's time cry.
But Cui Zhongqing was so grateful that he grabbed Tang Ping's hand and said, "Brother Tang, I really saw you right. I, Cui Zhongqing, have remembered this!"
