Pei Xingjian was standing outside the academy and was patrolling the guards near the academy, still holding books in his hands. He saw a long convoy heading towards the Gu family from afar. He guessed in his heart that the teacher was going to meet the envoys from various countries. He took a deep breath of fresh air and came back to his senses and then led the team to patrol.

Li Tai and Xu Jingzong were also walking in the academy, watching the academy classrooms have begun to call out, and they saw the long convoy.

"Look at the academy, I'll go to Gu Qing's house to have a look." Li Tai hurried out of the academy.

Gu Qing's home had been preparing for a long time. Li Zhi helped Gu Qing stick a huge map on the wall. Li Chengqian came first. He led the servant to the lobby and saw Gu Qing sticking a picture. When the picture was completely pasted, what fell into his eyes were the small countries marked on the map, and he drew routes one by one.

"Gu County Hou, you are..." Li Chengqian looked at the drawings and was puzzled.

"This is a commercial road." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Prince, please sit down."

"Business Road?" Li Chengqian was puzzled, "What does this trade road have to do with this time?"

"Your Highness, Prince." Gu Qing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You can't go back empty-handedly. You will always have some gains when you travel thousands of miles."

"You mean we are in trade with these small countries?"

"That's right." Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand.

Li Tai also walked into Gu Qing's home and greeted Li Chengqian with a little salute, "Emperor Brother."

"Why are you here?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai.

Li Tai smiled slightly and looked directly at Li Chengqian.

The gunpowder between the two brothers was very strong, and Li Zhi also felt something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Gu Qing's sleeve.

Gu Qing took a step forward, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Wei are still invited to take your seat. I believe the envoys from all countries are waiting outside the door."

Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other and sat in their seats. Gu Qing said to the servants at home, "Let all the envoys waiting outside come in."

The attendant hurriedly went to report.

As the envoys from various countries walked in wearing colorful clothes, Li Zhi looked at the scene curiously and peeled up the walnuts in his hand.

"Everyone sit down." Gu Qing said to them, and then said to the servant beside him, "Get tea."

More than a dozen servants brought tea, and Gu Qing said to them, "Everyone has come to the Tang Dynasty, and I have received the order from Your Majesty suddenly. I have been neglecting you all. I am really sorry that some things have really been prepared to delay time."

The envoys from various countries also waved their hands to indicate that it was not important.

Gu Qing smiled again and said, "You must have seen a lot of novel things from the Tang Dynasty when you come to congratulate me this time. You must have seen bicycles. Do you think bicycles are useful?"

The envoys nodded one after another.

Gu Qing said again, "We have soap in the Tang Dynasty. Do you like it?"

The envoys also nodded.

"Do you want it? Or do your kings and people want it?" Gu Qing said with a smile, "Actually, our Tang Dynasty can do business with you so that you can buy these too."

Doing business? A group of envoys were discussing that they wanted to do business with the Tang Dynasty?

The envoy of Xue Yantuo, the Mobei envoy, took the lead in speaking, "As long as the Tang Dynasty is willing to sell these things to us, we Xue Yantuo will naturally buy them."

Gu Qing looked at the other party's clothing as Xue Yantuo's man. When Xue Yantuo and Tubo joined forces to attack the Tang Dynasty, they were beaten by Li Ji to become grandson. How could he stand like a person who is fine? Li Er was also very worried. Anyway, he was always here to pay respect to He Chang's face and didn't care.

"Since we have mentioned buying, I'll talk to you about how to buy it." Gu Qing made aside and pointed to the map and said, "This is the business route I have planned. It lists the business route from your territory and leads to Guanzhong."

The envoys of the countries here were talking again.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "You are all thinking about the stability between business trips?"

Whether it is the Western Regions, deserts or grasslands, there are many robbers, and these are the envoys hesitated.

"We don't care about any of these business roads in the Tang Dynasty, and you will take care of them." Gu Qing said again, "If you want our Tang Dynasty goods, you can come to the Tang Dynasty to buy them and then sell them to your people. But if you have to say that, a piece of soap is fifteen cents per piece in Guanzhong, but it will be thirty cents to sell to you."

The price doubled directly, and envoys from various countries started to discuss again.

Li Tai also looked at Gu Qing in confusion. Is the price a little high?

"If you don't want to, you won't force yourself." Gu Qing said again, "It's just that the Tang Dynasty will close its doors with you in the future. For example, Xue Yantuo refused this talk. Then you can't do business with our Tang Dynasty again, and even the Xue Yantuo people will not enter the Tang Dynasty again. If all countries are willing to do business with our Tang Dynasty, we are willing to prosper with you."

"I didn't say I wanted to refuse!" The envoy Xue Yantuo's face was stiff.

"I'm just giving an example." Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand.

Li Tai thought about Gu Qing's words carefully, and at the beginning he was shocked. However, when he carefully considered Gu Qing's words, Li Tai's expression became more and more strange. The reason for Gu Qing's actions was also clear and xenophobic! If anyone refuses to do business with the Tang Dynasty, he will be xenophobic. The Tang Dynasty even has the strength to isolate a small country.

Rejection will be exclusion, but if you agree, you will buy goods from the Tang Dynasty that are several times higher. Li Tai looked at the large picture, and the various trade routes from the countries to the Tang Dynasty. Li Tai's eyes became more and more shocked. If these trade routes are regarded as rivers, the Tang Dynasty is the sea where rivers flow into the sea.

Business roads are the lifeline. When the people of these small countries get used to the bicycles of the Tang Dynasty, the thermos bottles and soap teas of the Tang Dynasty... Thinking of this, Li Tai was shocked. Gu Qing wanted to use these small countries to nourish the Tang Dynasty and absorb their wealth to make the Tang Dynasty rich. This is to draw the blood of the various countries to strengthen the Tang Dynasty. One grows and the other will grow, and the Tang Dynasty will become richer and richer.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Li Tai finally knew the difference between him and Gu Qing. Although Gu Qing's strategy still has many flaws, if he was asked to refine it from the ministers in the court one by one, it has to be said to be a good way to increase the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eyes of the world, merchants have always been lowly. Can Gu Qing sit in business to make a country rich? If it is true as he thought, as Gu Qing had planned, then the status of a businessman will be raised to a higher level. He uses business to enrich the country and uses firearms to strengthen the country, it is no wonder that his father valued Gu Qing so much.
