Chapter 618 Preparations
Unconsciously, Zhen Qian found that he had become an arms dealer in the Tang Dynasty who sold war, I don't know when the term arms dealer appeared, whether there were any arms dealers in the Tang Dynasty, Zhen Qian thought that he should be the first person, maybe the arms dealers in later generations should worship their statues!
Looking at the box of gold left by Shao Er Yizhen, Zhen Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, he had thought about many identities, rich, landlord, scribe and official, but he never thought that he would one day become an arms dealer.
The arms business is indeed the most lucrative industry besides drugs and banking, from the beginning of the first arms business with Shao Er Dongshang to the present, it is only five or six transactions that have been finalized, but the amount has been as high as 500,000 taels of gold, which is worth 2.5 million yuan in the Japanese country, and if it is made into gold coins in the Tang Dynasty, the value will suddenly reach 5 million yuan.
This concept is something that Zhen Qian didn't dare to think about before, maybe many people don't have a clear concept of money in the Tang Dynasty, so let's give two simple examples.
Ordinary Tang Dynasty a family of five people calculated, Tianbao period a bucket of fresh rice is about fifteen wen, a person a year to eat about four or five stones, basically a household a year to eat twenty stones, each stone of rice one hundred and fifty wen, a total of three thousand, equivalent to three times, plus the daily firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other normal expenses, a year of living expenses is only about five or six runs, this is of course an estimate.
Another example is the monetary tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty during the Tianbao period, the official statistics are about 3.2 million yuan, of course, the total tax revenue during the Tianbao period is far more than these, but most of them are some taxes in kind, that is, what is usually said to be planted, what the government collects, the grain that grows, the silk of silkworm raising, etc., is not the monetary tax that later generations usually think, so before the introduction of tax discounts, the monetary income of the Tang court in a year was pitiful.
Of course, not all of the 500,000 taels of gold can fall into Zhen Qian's pocket, except for various labor costs, resource costs, transportation transaction costs, etc., Zhen Qian can still earn a lot in the end.
Basically, according to the purchasing power of the normal period of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, it has always been equivalent to the purchasing power of 4,000 yuan in later generations, so Zhen Qian's arms sales in the Japanese State are equivalent to 10 billion to 20 billion yuan of large arms orders.
Even Zhen Qian himself didn't dare to think about how much impact Zhen Qian would have on the manufacturing of weapons and equipment in the Wufeng Islands if he ate this large order of arms.
However, there are many problems with this calculation, first of all, weapons and equipment were high-tech commodities in the Tang Dynasty, and coupled with the small-scale peasant economy of the Tang Dynasty, the purchasing power of the whole society did not form a scale effect at all.
The Wa State is even more expensive and cheap, which is related to the purchasing power of the Wa State, and also related to the fact that the Wa State produces more gold and silver, Zhen Qian just earned the gold and copper between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa State is cheaper.
No amount of gold is actually of much use to Zhen Qian now, especially now, the great chaos of the Japanese Kingdom is about to break out, and the purchasing power of gold will be very low.
In fact, gold, like silver, is Zhen Qian's most important metal currency, and it is also Zhen Qian's most important strategic reserve in the future.
"Light smoke! Go and invite all the would-be merchants, I have something important to discuss with them? ”
The corners of Zhen Qian's mouth showed a cruel smile, Fujiwara Shuxiong was calculating himself, Shao Er Yizhen and Shao Er Dongshang, father and son, were not calculating themselves, Fujiwara Shuxiong was counting on himself to help him make money, Shao Er's family tied themselves to the chariot, constantly lured themselves into the urn, and finally said the purpose, making it difficult for Zhen Qian to ride the tiger.
However, these people were wrong, they only noticed that Zhen Qian had two identities: officials and merchants, but they never thought about why Zhen Qian wanted those useless islands in their eyes, it was really just what Zhen Qian said in his mouth for the smooth flow of trade routes, as a supply station for merchant ships. However, this does not mean that these people are stupid, it can only show that their eyes are only focused on the Japanese country, allowing Zhen Qian to take the lead.
But when these people react, no matter whether Shao Er Dongshang and these people win in the end, or Fujiwara Nakamaro insists to the end, the next one will kill Zhen Qian, and that is when Zhen Qian is most dangerous.
Since this is the case, Zhen Qian naturally has to prepare in advance!
Through long-term observation, Zhen Qian chose some Japanese merchants as his partners, and the strength of these Japanese merchants was not great, and they only had some influence in one or two Linglu countries, and these people were exactly the target of Zhen Qian's needs.
Zhen Qian didn't go to those wealthy businessmen, nor did he go to some local big families, none of these people Zhen Qian was at ease, they all had some powerful forces behind them, which was why Zhen Qian was unwilling to cooperate with them.
A short and fat businessman walked into Zhen Qian's room, his little eyes swept around, looking at the exquisite porcelain and glass in the room, revealing a greedy look, but he immediately smiled all over his face, walked a few steps and saluted Zhen Qian: "Sir, do you have something to tell the villain?" ”
"Please take a seat, I heard that Jingtian-kun is from Nagato, and he has been fortunate all the way!"
Zhen Qian warmly beckoned the businessman named Jing Tian to sit down, and immediately a gorgeously dressed maid made tea for Jing Tian, looking at the maid who was wearing a long skirt, fair skin, and an elegant temperament between her gestures, Jing Tian swallowed her saliva violently, and her eyes looked directly at the maid's towering and straight breasts, and the whole person's mind suddenly fell into the snow-white deep ditch, unable to extricate himself!
"Ahem! Cough! ”
"Get out!" Zhen Qian waved his hand, and the maid took light lotus steps, her waist swayed without wind, and there was a faint body fragrance on her body, seducing Jing Tian's whole soul, only until the maid closed the door, did she show an embarrassed expression, but her eyes still glanced out of the door from time to time.
"All the maids in the lord's mansion are so charming and moving, the lord is really blessed!"
Zhen Qian didn't expect that this wouldn't be a perverted ghost in his life, but he didn't know if he would be emotional and unable to control the **** when he saw the twelve maids who had been carefully trained by Qingyan.
Clothes make the man!
This sentence has been most perfectly displayed in later generations, and often those beauties in later generations who look like cat's claws behind their backs can make people vomit three liters when they look back.
Qingyan's body shape and temperament training, coupled with the packaging of Zhen Qian's later generations, when the twelve maids stood in front of Zhen Qian, not to mention Zhen Qian, even the immortals were afraid that they would also move their hearts.
