Coming out of Beifang, there was nothing to do along the way, Liu Han didn't go to Xifang, but went to the inn of the trading company, the trading company also had a house in the city before, but this house obviously couldn't live in, Qian Ming was trying to buy a yard, but he hadn't found a suitable one for a while, so he still chartered a side courtyard in the inn for him and Lao Huang Liushui and others to live temporarily.

When Liu Han arrived, there was no one else in the courtyard except for the two guards who stayed behind, and the two guards didn't expect Liu Han to come at this time, but the room was clean and tidy, and the two of them were not too flustered.

"Don't be busy, ask the store to bring a pot of water, by the way, take out the barley tea, and ask the store to get some grass and water for the black cone, this guy is a little restless today. ”

One of the guards agreed to go out, but the other hesitated and replied cautiously: "Master, this barley tea, only the small ones are here, and the best ones are in Mr. Huang's room, his old man is not there, the small ones don't dare to go in, do you want the small ones to call him." ”

"Heh, this old Huang, what are you still busy in the store at this time," Liu Han shook his head slightly: "Forget it, let's do it first, he will come back later, and then change it, Mr. Luan, do you think it is feasible?"

At this time, Liu Han saw that the coachman was not waiting outside like in Zhilan Courtyard, but followed him into the courtyard, and was hesitating to invite him in, but Luan Xuan first ordered him to wait in the courtyard, and Liu Han asked someone to bring him a cup of tea.

Barley tea is a specialty of the Western Regions, Chang'an also sells it, but not much, mainly because it tastes a little bitter, the upper class people do not drink such tea, and the lower class people can't afford it, so naturally it can't be sold, a few merchants in the Western Regions carry it with them, or make it with local barley, and then take it out when they want to change their taste.

The boiling water rushed down, a stream of wheat fragrance rose, Luan Xuan watched Liu Han make tea, and thought about how to speak, at this moment he wanted to recruit Liu Han even more, Beifang shot, his coachman didn't see the depth, he didn't cultivate, but his coachman's cultivation was the third grade of martial arts, and he couldn't see Liu Han's shot clearly, coupled with Xi Feng's judgment of Liu Han's cultivation, Luan Xuan concluded that Liu Han's cultivation was either at the peak of martial arts, or had broken through and stepped into the realm of grandmasters.

"The pharmacopoeia says that this barley tea is beneficial to the qi and regulates the body, strengthens the blood veins, and has the effect of regulating the five qi, which is really fragrant. Luan Xuan smelled the fragrance of tea and said with some intoxication.

Liu Han felt that this guy was adjusting the atmosphere and killing a guy who couldn't open his eyes, his mood calmed down, his thinking became clearer, and he became more and more convinced that today was the protagonist of this Luan Xuan singing, and he made up his mind to see what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd.

"The pharmacopoeia is right, the people of the Western Regions eat beef and sheep, the beef and mutton eat too much, flatulence is stagnant in the abdomen, and tea is needed, my tea from the Great Jin Dynasty is not easy to go to the Western Regions, the price is expensive, and a few rich people can afford to eat, so ordinary people use this barley tea to dissolve, and this barley tea is also a lowly thing in the Western Regions. ”

"According to what my brother said, do the people of the Western Regions drink tea as medicine?" Luan Xuan said deliberately.

Liu Han smiled and nodded: "That's true, but this conclusion is my observation, not recorded in the pharmacopoeia." ”

"Oh, you still have research on pills?" Luan Xuan was very sensitive, and immediately asked in passing.

"A businessman, running in the desert and wilderness, has a cold and flu, and he can't find Langzhong, and he knows some medicine. Liu Han replied calmly.

"Yes, it is difficult to do business in the Western Regions, and Brother Liu is talented, why don't you find another background?" Luan Xuan asked.

Hearing this, Liu Han roughly understood in his heart, he sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, Luan Xuan looked at him with blazing eyes, the meaning of anticipation was undoubtedly revealed, Liu Han put down the teacup and sighed softly: "Alas, Brother Rhino also mentioned it yesterday, but it can be a mundane thing in the next book, and it is entangled in mundane things, I really can't, thank you Mr. Luan." ”

"That's a mistake," Luan Xuan shook his head, he noticed that Liu Han's name for him had changed and became rusty, but he didn't care: "In the past, the ram was also a merchant, and Emperor Wu pulled out his pivotal position and controlled the treasury, and the treasury was full because of it, and Emperor Wu conquered the Quartet according to it. ”

Liu Han drank tea silently with an expressionless face, Luan Xuan saw that his painstaking words did not impress Liu Han, he pondered in his heart, and continued: "Mr. Liu doesn't need to be presumptuous, I heard that Mr. Liu went out of the plug in vain, crisscrossed the Western Regions, and created such a big industry as Hanhai Trading Company, if it wasn't for the furrows in his chest, how could he have this achievement." ”

Liu Han picked up the teapot and added tea to Luan Xuan, and said casually: "State affairs are different from business affairs, if you miss business affairs, you will lose some money, and if you miss state affairs, Liu can't afford to take it, Mr. Luan, Mr. Ram's fate is not good." ”

The ram was pulled out of the treasury by Emperor Wu, and implemented the policies of salt and iron official camps, leveling, and equal losses, which greatly increased the fiscal revenue, but these fiscal policies seriously violated the interests of merchants, and the merchants were forced to take refuge in the scholars, after the death of Emperor Wu, the merchants and scholars jointly counterattacked, and made a Huaibei King rebellion case, and the ram was falsely accused of being involved in the rebellion case, and was punished by the clan.

At this time, at that time, Mr. Liu was too worried. Luan Xuan enlightened: "The King of Qin is virtuous, and there is much respect between the government and the opposition, and he is not comparable to the King of Huainan. ”

"Qin Wang Xianming, I have heard about it in the Western Regions," Liu Han smiled slightly: "But I am just a layman, and it is not beneficial to Yu Wangye, I think about it repeatedly, I don't understand, Brother Rhino yesterday, Mr. Today, I have said it successively, so that I am quite flattered by it, so please also ask Mr. to make it clear." ”

Liu Hanxin said, what are you doing with me going around and around, serving the King of Qin, why should I serve the King of Qin? Officials and businessmen collude to make money? What can you do in this era? Salt and iron official camps? The King of Qin does not have this power.

Luan Xuan condensed and decided to tell the truth: "I can't hide it, the people in the four fields are hungry and tired, the king of Qin is anxious and anxious, and wants to help, but the treasury is empty, the prince has the heart to enrich the treasury, but there is no good solution, I offer a strategy to the prince, and do business to the treasury, so I want to ask Mr. Liu for help." ”

Liu Han looked at Luan Xuan with a smile when he heard this, and Luan Xuan looked at him expectantly, gradually becoming a little angry, Liu Han only then asked: "Sir, I don't understand, let me tell you first, do you mean to let me do business for King Qin to enrich the treasury of Yongzhou?"

Luan Xuan nodded, Liu Han frowned and asked: "It's nothing to do business for the prince, but how much capital does the prince plan to take? This is one thing, and the other is that there must be a business in business, what does the prince plan to do for a living?"

Luan Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a way here, Liu Han continued to ask: "Also, am I operating a joint venture with the prince or do I set up a separate stove? What identity does the prince give me? How much authority do I have?"

Seeing Luan Xuan's sluggish expression, Liu Han shook his head lightly: "Mr. Luan, the rumor of the royal mansion's business will greatly damage the reputation of the prince, this is not the right way." ”

After a long time, Luan Xuancai smiled bitterly: "Therefore, doing business is not a small way, and Luan is conceited to learn the Five Classics, but . . . Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Liu Han sighed in his heart, he was not ashamed, don't look at what he said just now, in fact, he still didn't take business in his eyes, and I'm afraid there is a little bit, the shore of the land, is it not the idea of the king's land, you still dare to settle accounts with the prince!

"Alas, in this way, if you don't do business, this Yongzhou homeless person will be miserable, this time will pass in a flash, and when it snows, I don't know how much I will freeze to death. Luan Xuan sighed sadly.

Liu Han pondered for a moment and said: "The prince has relieved the difficulties of the Li people, and the small people really admire it. ”

Luan Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"I don't dare to advise, just a little superficial. Liu Han hurriedly waved his hand, Luan Xuan urged repeatedly, obviously very anxious, Liu Han said: " Enriching the treasury is nothing more than two methods, open source and reduce expenditure, Yongzhou is located in the northwest, all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai have the demand for trade with the Great Jin Dynasty, but the imperial court only opened a market in Liangzhou and the state, the prince can play the imperial court, report to Yongzhou to open the market, with salt tea trading cattle, sheep and horses outside the Saiwai, the imperial court can collect transaction tax; second, in the market of salt tea, the imperial court can designate two or three as designated traders, these two or three, can be obtained by the merchant auction; although this move can not completely solve the problem of the emptiness of the Yongzhou treasury, when can alleviate one or two... As for the problem of displaced people, there are actually ways to solve it. ”

Luan Xuan is thinking about it, I feel that this method is very wonderful, Chang'an is the western capital, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, when the market was opened in Liangzhou and Zhou, some people also proposed to open one in Yongzhou, but it was vetoed by the imperial court, and the reason was in Chang'an. The ministers of the DPRK and China believed that if the market was opened in Yongzhou, the Saiwaihu people would threaten the safety of Chang'an after the Saiwaihu people checked the roads in Yongzhou, so they vetoed it.

This reason is extremely absurd in Liu Han's opinion, for hundreds of years, Hu has hit Chang'an several times, and he knows the road north of Chang'an well, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are all taking it for granted.
