For Suning, the biggest goal is to let a large number of private businessmen to confirm, join the expedition to the Western Turkic caravan, successfully take root and develop in the Western Turks, and set a good example for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, that is, to wreak havoc abroad, you can use any means no matter how you wreak havoc abroad, you can use any means, and the government should also encourage, but you should pay attention to it at home, that will kill the head, so instead of killing the head at home, it is better to go abroad to make a lot of money, that is all the money of the barbarians, and you will not make it in vain!

Suning deliberately arranged for some people with ulterior motives to wander around the two commercial centers of the East and West markets all day long, and then find a store that looked good, buy some things, and then discuss some questions about the imperial court's collection order with the owner of the shop, and then express the meaning of these words in their own words, most of these people are officials of the Vertical and Horizontal Division, and the task assigned to them by Suning is to persuade each of them to persuade at least one shop to join the expedition to the Western Turkic caravan, as an assessment of studying for so long, Use your vertical and horizontal skills to convince them, and if you succeed, you can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of the vertical and horizontal family!

You all have to know that a thousand years ago, the persuasion objects of our ancestors were all monarchs, princes and nobles, and those people could persuade them to play the world with a combination of horizontal and vertical strategies, what kind of majestic and heroic is that? And now that your opponents are nothing more than a bunch of businessmen, what is there to be afraid of? If even a group of merchants can't convince them, how can they convince the kings and princes and nobles? In the future, you will have to deal with the high-level leaders of various countries, and now you can't even convince a businessman, and you are embarrassed to call yourself a columnist? Don't embarrass our ancestors, okay?!

How do you usually teach you? Do what you like. What does it mean to do what you like? It's about talking to them about what matters most to them! Merchants are profitable, so lure them with profits! It is the nature of businessmen and the nature of people in the world to lure them with huge profits, and your first step is to start from businessmen!

As soon as Suning gave an order, more than 100 apprentices of the Zongheng family went on to persuade the businessman to be deceived...... Ahh The path of persuading merchants to join the expedition to the Western Turkic caravans, well, that's right, times are changing. The Zongheng family also has to change. In the past, the goal was to be the monarchs and princes and nobles of various countries, but now the goal is to face all walks of life, and the Zonghengjia should lower their profile and take the initiative to develop in all walks of life. Show promise. Only then will there be a possibility of revival. Especially in this era when the world is basically controlled by Confucianism, it is not easy to get a glimmer of life!

The apprentices were moved to tears. In this regard, if it is not successful, it will not come back to see Suning, Suning is very excited to encourage them, saying that they will definitely hold a banquet here to wait for their victorious return, and after all the young people who are enthusiastic and vow to become the glorious ancestors of the Zongheng family leave, Suning is very excited to take out a hot pot set and a good meal, to be honest, Suning actually does not have any expectations for these novices.

Because this thing is originally a venture capital, it is easy to make money, but in fact it is very complicated to operate, first of all, the problem of language barrier is very bad, this can also use a translation, but how to buy and sell? How do you set the price? If these problems are not resolved, they will only harm these non-governmental businessmen and damage the prestige and credibility that the government has built up with great difficulty.

The best result is actually that the caravan of more than 20 wealthy nobles passed first, and after opening the situation, they gradually introduced private businessmen, but in this way they also lost the earliest business opportunities, but this is the price that needs to be paid to avoid big risks, we took the risk to open the way out for you, you have to pay the price, it's as simple as that, if some very bold businessmen are willing to take risks together, Suning will not use political power to oppress him, but will support him and set a model.

It's just that I don't know if there is such a mighty folk businessman with such courage? It is estimated that there will be a certain amount of money, Suning does not expect how many people there will be in the first batch, but expects that after opening up the situation, the first batch of adventurers will lure the merchants to join the ranks of the caravans on the expedition to the Western Turks, and realize the method of controlling the Western Turkic economy and people's livelihood with commerce.

When the first batch of adventurers returned to Chang'an with a lot of money, it was the time when these merchants who had no guts squeezed their heads to join the caravan, and it was not so easy to participate in the caravan again at that time, to pay, to pay the price, to pay the price of being monitored, and the plan to control the merchants would be launched at that time, and the two-pronged approach would be tried to try a new method.

So Suning eats alone with a smile, waiting for these Zonghengjia interns to return triumphantly or shamelessly, these days of learning do not have much really useful knowledge, just an approximation, but if these knowledge is used well, it can naturally be successful, the main thing is to see if they have the ability to say black to white, to say true to false, if this can also be successful, it will become the focus of the Zongheng Division's training, and there will be a chance to become a real Zonghengjia, not an intern.

How many of the 130 people will come back? Suning thinks that there will be no more than ten, and the number of civilian merchants participating in the caravan this time will probably not exceed twenty, that is to say, the total number of caravans in the first batch will not exceed fifty, that is, a medium-sized caravan, in this era, it is obviously yes, carrying enough goods to open a town in the Western Turks, and then ensuring the smooth flow of goods, which is naturally indispensable with the help of the Tang garrison.

But this matter is not only a commercial action, but also a national policy, so the Tang garrison has the obligation to help, of course, there is also the obligation to enjoy the reward, for example, the remuneration provided by Wei Xianju is to take the cattle, sheep and horses of the Western Turkic herdsmen as the rations of the soldiers, take it from the Turks, use it for the Tang Dynasty, and use the Turkic grain to raise troops for the Tang Dynasty, and the original rations of the Tang soldiers can be stored and eaten in winter, because the winter on the grassland is very cold, generally speaking, few herdsmen will come to trade, However, at this time, Datang's caravan can promote the heating objects used by Datang, such as coal and the like, and I believe it can also make a profit.

At that time, Suning also planned to use the wealth of the Western Turks to purchase the rich grazing land of the Western Turks when the Western Turks encountered an economic crisis. From the root, let the Western Turks lose the possibility of survival, and then hollow out the wealth of the Western Turks step by step, hollow out everything in the Western Turks, so that they no longer have the strength to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and even become the mercenaries of the Tang Dynasty...... It's a little exciting to think about......

Of course, things won't go this way, even if they do. It also needs some means to operate. There is nothing that can be solved so simply and crudely, but this is at least a precedent for controlling countries with economic warfare, and if it is done well, other countries can do the same. It's just that it needs the protection of the army. So as not to suffer losses to the caravan. The private caravans of the princes and princes of the major powers had been approved by His Majesty Li Er, and were allowed to enter the Western Turks to engage in business, and at the same time were protected by the Tang army. It is also necessary to provide food and salary for the Tang army......

To put it bluntly, it is to take the money and food of the Turks to raise troops for the Tang Dynasty, on the surface, the Tang Dynasty raised troops by itself, but in fact, it was the Western Turks who paid for the food, this is the significance of Suning letting Ashina Ni sign the "Royal Court Treaty", as long as he signed it, he must abide by the treaty, for example, the final interpretation right belongs to the Tang Dynasty, that is the core of the entire treaty, with it, I am not afraid of the Western Turks to repay the debt, even if you rely on it, we can clean you up, the three thousand garrisons of the Tang Dynasty are not vegetarians.

The interns of the Zongheng family went out in the morning, and they didn't come back until the evening when they beat the drum of the clean street, and when they came back, they basically had a wordless face to see the Jiangdong father's expression, very lost, and wanted to die, thinking that they had defiled the knowledge of the Zongheng family, and studied the ancient book "Guiguzi" in vain, but they did not grasp the essence of it, and they couldn't even convince a businessman, let alone convince the princes and nobles in the future.

Of course, this was within Suning's expectations, and to Suning's surprise, there were fifteen people, among which Suning cared the most about one person, he alone persuaded five shops to join the team of the Tang Expedition to the Western Turkic caravan, and only one of the other fourteen people persuaded two shops, and the other thirteen people persuaded one, and the final result turned out to be that twenty private shops were willing to join the Tang Expedition to the Western Turkic caravan and go to the distant Western Turks to pan for gold.

Suning was very surprised by this, the man who was about thirty years old looked ordinary, why was he so good? One person persuaded five shops, persuaded five private merchants, and urged them to join the Datang caravan to open up the new continent together, such a skill is not something that an ordinary person can have, Suning on the one hand appeased one hundred and fifteen failed interns, on the other hand, rewarded fifteen successful people with consistent money, among which the young man named Zhang Yuan who persuaded the two shops was rewarded with an additional amount of money, and the man named Liu Renliang who persuaded five shops was rewarded with an additional four dollars.

Suning was a little curious about this matter, so he left Liu Renliang alone, ready to have dinner with him, anyway, these interns of the Zongheng family are studying hard in the Zongheng Division these days, and few of them go home, it seems that this person named Liu Renliang never goes back, only knows how to study.

This person is not simple, he has a flexible mind, he can speak well, and he knows how to hide clumsy, he usually doesn't say a word, he can get his hands at critical moments, and he is a beautiful diplomat candidate, so let's talk about it, just now! Suning invited Liu Renliang to enjoy the hot pot in the house together, in October, the north has begun to have a trace of coolness, although it is not too cold, but drink some ice water, eat hot pot, or have a different taste, Liu Renliang gladly accepted this invitation, and then sat down with Suning, embracing the delicious hot pot.

After eating for a while, Suning asked his own question, that is, how did Liu Renliang persuade the five shops, because out of one hundred and thirty people, only fifteen people completed the task, and only he completed the task of five people, what is the reason?

Liu Renliang said with a smile: "Su Hou said that he laughed, but before entering the Zongheng Division, he had been an official for a period of time, and he had been an official since the beginning of Wude, of course, the official position was very small, just doing some miscellaneous things, often interacting with all kinds of people, and naturally businessmen were indispensable.

Speaking of which, a certain family is not very fond of Confucianism, but there has always been nothing good to do, before the military university enrollment also wanted to sign up, but the official business was urgent, it was delayed, and has been regretted, and this time when the vertical and horizontal division recruited talents, a certain family decided to resign from the small official, enter the vertical and horizontal division, learn the art of vertical and horizontal, and hope to become a vertical and horizontal family. ”

Liu Renliang's words said that Suning was a little stunned, this guy, is it? (To be continued......)
