Chapter 1108 skin benefits
Many people saw the Pizi market, and they all started to ask people to go to Tang Kingdom and other places to buy Pizi, and some even reported to the Chengshoufu that they would risk going to Tubo and other Western Regions to purchase fur and open up trade routes.
The allowed merchants can hire a certain number of guards, and many small merchants and adventurers joined in.
The era of adventure caused by the interests of commercial development has officially begun, and the escorts hired need to report to the city guards. In Youzhou, escorts are not allowed to exist for a long time, so these escorts are all defined as adventurers and all need to be registered.
Adventurers who accept employment will sign a labor contract at the City Guardian, and they will need to be cancelled after completing the time or task entrustment.
The business behavior of adventurers is to go to various countries in the Western Regions to trade. The goods sold need to be reported, the goods list is provided, and the Pioneer Army is inspected before they can leave.
This is to prevent people from colluding with enemies to guarantee not to bring advanced technology abroad. In fact, such prevention is not absolutely effective, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages compared to the benefits.
Li De supported the caravan very much to explore, but at that time, life and death will lead to fate and wealth. Since you choose to take risks, you need to take risks alone.
Not many people started the adventurer team to apply. They all became adventurers and signed an employment contract after the merchant proposed to hire escorts.
It is not easy to go to the Western Regions. Most of them are small businessmen who want to make a fortune and are willing to take risks.
When they left Youzhou, they did not go to the Western Regions but started to buy silk in Tang Kingdom and other places. In terms of price, Tang Kingdom's skin was relatively cheap. After taking the acquisition, they could make some profits.
Adventurers started to engage in the acquisition of scams, which made the merchants who started to engage in acquisitions earn a lot of money.
As a result of the interests, the adventure team soon began to grow. As a result, they did not choose to go to the Western Regions countries but chose to go north to Ningzhou and then trade north, and trade with tribes such as Uighurs and Tiel.
Ningzhou has the basis for trading in various tribes. In many cases, trading is safe, but there are still great risks. Adventurers choose to do business in a good tribe.
Through transactions, it is difficult for them to see the situation between tribes and develop business northwards. Most of the people they can trade are ordinary herdsmen, such as tribal chiefs and royal courts.
After all, the cost of fur is very high, and it is not affordable for ordinary businessmen to do business in the hands of major forces.
Adventurers are very good at making trouble. They not only acquired a large amount of skin, but also sold the goods from Youzhou. The profits made in one go are very high, which has inspired the merchants' dream of getting rich.
The news that merchants in Youzhou purchased fur was only noticed by officials in the Tang Dynasty after the rapid increase in fur prices in Tang Dynasty.
After they found out, they didn't know how to solve it. After all, business is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning in their eyes. The real question is because the family business has been affected and their interests are touched.
When Li Yuan heard that he was related to Youzhou, he felt a little painful. Many people couldn't understand what Youzhou was doing. It was because he couldn't understand that he felt more and more dangerous.
Officials were all thinking about the reasons why Youzhou purchased fur and what impact it would have on Tang State. After thinking about it, they could only think about the needs of fur in winter, which may be related to sending troops to threaten Tang State in winter.
Li Yuan and many officials have developed paranoia for persecution. They have to make up the reasons for the wind and rain without any situation.
In fact, it is because the market sales of leather shoes are too good, and the benefits are too great, and a large amount of fur is needed. The reason why people in Tang Dynasty are not sure about the situation is because the leather shoes in Youzhou are sold out every day after they are on the market.
There was no extra shoes sold to Tang State, which led to the news blocked. As for the usual merchants from Youzhou to Tang State, they all came to buy skins and naturally would not tell the situation of Youzhou's fur market.
They came for the sake of profit, how could they tell the situation to the merchants of the Tang Kingdom? Otherwise, could they still buy fur at the lowest price?
Li Yuan could only let people understand the situation first. After investigation, he found that almost all the furs of several cities and counties in the Tang State were purchased. He heard that the merchants in Youzhou were still doing business with the people in the suburbs of the Tang State, and many people with sluts sold all the people in the suburbs of the town.
In their opinion, something must be wrong. Li Yuan sent a spy to investigate in depth. Through layers of investigation, he found that the root cause was started with a hand-crank sewing machine produced by the Blacksmith Workshop in Youzhou.
After understanding it, Li Yuan learned the real situation and also understood why the court officials used this matter to affect their interests.
The price of the merchants in Youzhou purchasing fur is higher than that of the Shijia. On the one hand, the price of the fur business of the Shijia is slightly higher than that of the Shijia. As long as the number is large, all the merchants in Youzhou will purchase it.
This led to the sudden rise in the price of fur. The price of fur in Tang State is higher than that in Youzhou, so no one can purchase it.
The merchants in Youzhou did these things directly disrupted the fur market in the Tang Kingdom. The cattle and sheep sold by Pei Qingxuan before, except for the sheep, were all sold directly into the jerky skins. All of the cattle and sheep sold were shipped back to Youzhou.
After discovering the reason, the aristocratic families of the Tang Kingdom thought that the merchants in Youzhou would use fur products to go to the Tang Kingdom to compete with them for the market, but they never expected that the furs purchased by the merchants in Youzhou were all for domestic sales, and they did not want to sell the goods to them at all.
Fortunately, I didn't lose any benefits, but I regretted that I had known that the price of Youzhou's purchase of fur would not be so low to sell to those merchants. They felt that they were being calculated.
It is impossible to find the profits, which makes the Shijiamen particularly hate the businessmen in Youzhou.
However, some families were happy because the fur business allowed them to see huge benefits.
That's right, some aristocratic families have had commercial deals with people from Tubo and other places. According to the fur purchase price in Youzhou, they can buy low and sell high to obtain huge benefits.
Their horses together are not as many as those of Tubo, and it is easy to do as long as they can get online business.
For the sake of benefit, some people began to make up their minds.
Li Yuan didn't know that his son was fighting Tuyuhun and Tubo, so the aristocratic family behind him planned to sell out some interests and think about investing in the enemy.
At this time, Tuyuhun was very lively. The soldiers from all directions had already fought dozens of battles, and I had to admire Li Shimin and Zhang Zhongjian's perseverance.
The battle situation between the two sides was killed or injured, and it is really impossible to determine who will win in the end.
