Chapter 760 Midnight Talk
There was a big conflict between Pei Xingjian and the Persian king. He spoke to Xue Rengui, "Let me find a few Persians to come over, and I want to hear what the Persians say in some things."
Xue Rengui was quick to do business and immediately captured several native Persians and brought a Central Plains merchant who was proficient in Persian dialect.
"I've met an adult." The businessman saluted Pei Xingjian.
"How many times have you walked on this business road?"
"Good Lord." He bowed, "The villain has been hiding on this business road since I can remember. Whether it is war or for more than twenty years, you can ask the villain."
Seeing that he kept bowing and bowing, Pei Xingjian said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk. Who buys the most Guanzhong goods in the three places, Tubo, Tianzhu and Persia."
"Good Master." He sat on the side of the tent. "In fact, we have been doing business. In the past few years, we have been tepid. We have been having a meal without a single meal. Some things that others say are not good, and those who say that the Tang Dynasty are not, and those who are not the prime minister today are not. No one knows how bad we traveled on the business road were before. Since the battle of Tubo, Gu Hou led his men from the Hexi Corridor to Tubo, and killed all over the Potala Palace. We, the Tang people who are doing business, can almost walk sideways on this business road, and no one dares to offend us. This is my own feeling for so many years. Now that life is better, I have a wife and children."
Pei Xingjian knocked on the table.
"Sir, I'm off topic." He continued, "From my experience over the years, Tubo wants the least many things that Tubo cannot afford. The words of Tianzhu are okay, but the offer is still too little. They can exchange a lot of meat, but there are a lot of goldware in Tianzhu. The people of Tianzhu have money, but they prefer the spirits and the new stoves and tea that our Tang Dynasty has in the Tang Dynasty."
"Persia does not like our stoves, because there is no more woodland to the west of Persia, so they don't like the stoves. This place of Persia is the last obstacle to this trade road. In the rear of Persia, Dashi and other countries are people with blue eyes and big noses." He said carefully: "The Persians are in charge of this pass. They can buy what we have in our hands and sell them to more Western countries at a price. Those Western nobles have gold coins in between."
"Golden coins?" Pei Xingjian was puzzled.
He handed over a few gold coins and said, "Now, if you trade a gold coin on this business road, you can buy one or two tea leaves. These people are very generous in their efforts, and there are also strong wines. A jar of strong wine can almost sell fifty gold coins. Because the Persians have the most money in their hands, and sometimes they are willing to pay more gold coins to grab the Persians with the Indians."
The gold coins in Pei Xingjian's hand were weighing the weight.
"Sir, this is really gold." He whispered, "those guys trade with gold coins, which is different from our Tang Dynasty."
Pei Xingjian returned the gold coins to him.
"All these are given to adults, they are all small gold coins." He smiled and took out a larger gold coins. "I have a lot of them here. After I earn enough money, I will go back to Guanzhong to live my next life."
"I don't need it, you can take it yourself." Pei Xingjian returned the gold coins to him, "It's not easy for you to make some money."
He accepted it as soon as possible and continued, "The Tubo people have no money to ask for some cheap things. The most they want is salt. The Indians also want salt. They often compete with the Indians. Persia is the richest. Persians can sell the goods we give them to big noses with higher prices. After the business is stable, their business will get better and better, and the more they want. Tubo, Persia, and India often have conflicts."
"There are also robbers on the business road, but they will never touch our Tang Dynasty caravan, such as Tuyuhun. They pointed to the Tang Dynasty business so that they could have a bite of food."
The reason for this alliance is also for the benefit of this road.
Looking at the Persians standing aside, Pei Xingjian asked, "Ask these Persians what General Li, who was stationed in Persia, did in Persia."
He translated Pei Xingjian's question to these Persians. After reposting it, he replied instead, "They said General Li was plundering money everywhere in Persia. Fortunately, it has become more severe recently. His soldiers also bullied the Persians everywhere. General Li rebelled several times in Persia and killed many Persians. Many Persians dared not speak out."
"Have General Li done anything to the Persian royal family?" Pei Xingjian asked again.
Several Persians discussed and said a few words.
"What did they say?"
"Sir," said the merchant merchants, "They said General Li had monopolized the treasury of the Persian royal family and lived in the bedroom of the Persian king. The Persian king had to live in the side hall."
Pei Xingjian nodded, "It's OK, let's go down."
"yes!"
There will be certain conflicts of interest without specific distribution of interests. Persia has the advantage in trade between merchants, and Tubo is the weakest. Persia squeezes the interests of India, and India also squeezes the interests of Tubo. This is the crux of the problem.
Spread out the huge map, and the beginning and end of the business road of Pei Xingjian was divided into three equal parts.
"Report!" said the guards, "The Indians and Tubo fought."
"What's going on?"
"It was the accompanying guards of the Indian envoy and the accompanying guards of the Tubo who spoke in disagreement."
"Let them fight, let them fight happily." Pei Xingjian said calmly, "As long as there is no life, let them fight."
The guard nodded and ordered him to leave.
Late at night, Pei Xingjian came to the Persian king's tent and sat down with a tired face on the young man's king's face.
"General Pei." The Persian king bowed to Pei Xingjian, "I would like to ask General Pei to uphold justice for me."
"I know everything." Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "We will change someone to stay in Persia."
"Actually..." The Persian king glanced at Pei Xingjian's face and said, "We Persia have the strength to protect ourselves."
Pei Xingjian sneered, "Will you suppress those Persian nobles without the people from the Tang Dynasty give you the best? I know everything you did at the beginning, and Dashi is still eyeing you Persia."
The Persian king was speechless.
