"Yeah!"
Li Shimin looked excitedly at the faded march map that Tang Sufan drew on the table.
My thoughts are racing. With this plan, I can definitely calm down the situation in Mobei in one fell swoop and bring Mobei into the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
If he, Li Shimin, can accomplish this feat, his name will surely go down in history!
After all, as an emperor, in addition to his own power, status and life, what he cares most about is his reputation in future generations...
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others also brightened up. This strategy completely perfected their deduction.
Even Wei Zheng suddenly realized what was feasible.
And Cheng Yaojin...
I wondered in my mind whether I could take the two brats at home and take over this surprise attack all the way.
This ability to capture alive is an obvious and unique achievement...
As he thought about it, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but grin...
Several people were so excited that they drank plain water. They had never thought that plain water could have such a good taste~
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng's expression, and the old god smiled in his heart.
Old guy, you know it now~
Seeing that these people were getting excited, Tang Sufan couldn't help but lose his interest.
Anyway, in this Tang Dynasty, there are few people who want to chat together.
So he continued to sigh softly: "War is ultimately a waste of people and money. There is talk of prosperity, but the people suffer, and death, the people suffer..."
When Wei Zheng heard this, his eyes opened like bells, as if he had found a close friend for many years, and he slapped the table with excitement.
Snapped!
"Okay, okay, what a blessing, the people will suffer, the people will suffer if they die! You are really right!"
Tang Sufan was so frightened that he almost trembled again. How come the people following Lao Li were all middle-aged and elderly 'angry youths'~
It’s really not a person who doesn’t get along well.
Wei Zheng praised him continuously and sighed that Tang Sufan had the world in mind, understood the suffering of the people, and understood the suffering of the national crisis.
Tang Sufan's face turned red when he heard this, and he quickly waved his hands and said something modest.
Li Shimin drank water angrily after hearing this.
What a good farmer! Why do you praise this brat for working so hard?
Why haven't I seen your face before?
Then Tang Sufan continued slowly: "Old Li, do you know that there may be a way for me and other merchants to severely damage the Turks?"
Li Shimin and others were suddenly stunned and looked at Tang Sufan at the same time after hearing this.
Did this guy drink too much or was he high?
This boiled water is not wine. Why are you losing your mind in broad daylight?
If there is such a way, then will all the ministers and generals in the court be regarded as nothing more than idlers?
But if others say this, Li Shimin and others will definitely sneer at it, but what this kid said...
I feel like I want to listen to it.
Li Shimin quickly smiled and said: "You kid, stop trying to keep us appetizing. Looking at you like this, you must have something shocking to say. Tell me quickly. We will definitely keep it secret."
Tang Sufan stood up slowly, drank some water and moved around.
While pacing, he said: "Old Sun, you often run out of business. I want to ask you, what is the price of wool recently?"
Changsun Wuji was surprised for a while, didn't he say Turks? Why did I ask about the price of wool?
Then he replied calmly: "Wool is so cheap these days. You can get a cart with just one penny from any shop."
Tang Sufan, who was calmly pointing out the situation, suddenly stared!
For fear of asking too late, Tang Sufan quickly turned around and asked: "So cheap?"
He knew that wool was cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. Is there such a good thing?
How expensive are high-quality woolen sweaters and woolen pants in later generations? And here a penny can drive a car away? A car!
Doesn’t this mean that the raw materials are almost free?
Then you can make a lot of money by starting a wool business. This gross profit margin is higher than selling wine!
Du Ruhui interjected: "This is natural. Wool is almost the cheapest thing. If you want it, you can buy it everywhere."
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at Li Shimin and said calmly.
"Old Sun, let me ask you, the smallest tribe in the Turks has millions of sheep. On weekdays, they naturally kill sheep, eat them and sell them, but how do they use the wool?"
Changsun Wuji didn't know what Tang Sufan meant by asking, so he replied slowly.
"Every spring, sheep need to be sheared, and the wool obtained can be made into felt! But very little wool can be made into felt, and the rest is set on fire. After all, this thing is not easy to preserve, but I am too lazy to dig deep pits to bury it. Most of them are Just find a place to pile them up."
Tang Sufan nodded.
So Tang Sufan followed the words and continued: "So, you guys, if I tell a tribal leader in the Turks that I want wool for two cents a pound, do you think the Turks will sell it?"
Changsun Wuji didn't even have to think about it and said directly: "Of course I will ask for it. Not only will I ask for it, I will ask for more, and the price will be lower, but the logistics cost will be slightly higher."
Then he thought carefully for a while and said again: "If you include the travel expenses and the price difference, even if you collect it from the Turks, it will cost almost one penny and ten pounds, and it is dry wool!"
Changsun Wuji, as a well-known 'local rich man' in Chang'an, is not easy to deal with such things.
Tang Sufan was completely stunned. What's the difference between this and asking for no money?
But cheap is good, the cheaper the better~
Then the corner of Tang Sufan's mouth raised again, it was really a good deal.
And there is no need to worry about touching the interests of local nobles like Chang'an, so you can go about your business freely.
Li Shimin urged angrily: "You kid, you are talking about things. What does this wool have to do with Turks?"
Tang Sufan quickly sat down again and asked.
"Old Sun, suppose I buy one million kilograms of wool from Turks next spring. Let me ask you, will any dealer take over such a business? Will Turks sell it?"
Changsun Wuji replied directly: "Of course I'll sell it. For Turks, what's the difference between this and picking up money on the ground? Usually I burn it with a fire, but now I can change it for money, why not sell it?"
I thought that this boy wanted wool for what purpose, so he patted his chest and said.
"Besides, as long as you are really willing to collect dry wool for two cents and ten kilograms, my old Sun also knows some tricks. I can pat my chest and tell you that you don't need other dealers in this business, so I will help you get it!"
"When the time comes, go directly to the Turks to buy wool and transport it directly to Chang'an along the grain road. I will never take advantage of you!"
Tang Sufan himself also became interested and said.
"Haha, we'll talk about it later, don't be in a hurry."
Then a bad smile appeared on his face: "Speaking of which, do you think that if we are willing to sell this business, will the tribes on the grassland rush to sell wool?"
Several people nodded. It didn't take much to think about it. Who doesn't like money?
If this price goes by, there will be many people vying to sell wool first.
"Then there is a problem here. If, I say if..."
"Someone has sold ten million kilograms of business, which is ten thousand kilograms of money. Those tribes in Turks such as Uihe, Guligan, and Tongluo are not big or small, and there are other tribes Will they fight over wool?"
"After all, for them, the wool that could only be burned can be turned into money and gold, so naturally they give priority to selling their own tribe's wool."
"You know, this is the first year. It's just 10 million jins. Later, there are rumors. What if someone increases the weight to 10 million jins in the second year? Or even 100,000 jins? They are still indifferent. ?”
Li Shimin and others suddenly raised their eyebrows.
If there was such a good thing, Li Shimin would be so excited that he went to get money, and the tribal leaders would not be so excited to jump up, let alone ten million catties or even one hundred thousand catties of business.
"The wool business is like thrown away meat. When the tribes on the grassland find that sheep are more valuable than before, they will start a war over the pasture. Whoever has more grass will have more sheep, and it is normal to even rob the sheep directly. !”
