"You know, a piece of silk, with us, is only a few pieces of money, and if it can be transported to Xiqin, which is thousands of miles away, it can be exchanged for the same weight of gold. And tea is even more valuable than gold. ”

Hearing my words, Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but gasp, and their eyes were almost red. "Brother, you're not fooling your little brother here, are you? Even the finest silk is only twenty-three times, and you actually say that you can exchange it for the same weight of gold, isn't that worth nearly a thousand times? ”

"What do you think? Otherwise, why would these people come to Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, do you think it is to admire the wealth here, or the tranquility here? Ben Gongzi said with a smile. Don't worry, Brother Wei didn't fool you, but even if they bought silk tea, if they wanted to return to the land of Western Qin, they also needed to go through a lot of hardships, and sometimes even lost their lives. Starting from Chang'an, the silk that can really arrive in Western Qin is afraid that it will not even be able to reach a percentage, which is why why it will be in the land of Western Qin, and the price is the same as gold. ”

"I see, just like what Brother Wuji once said: scarce things are expensive." The beautiful eyes of the Yaoguang girl turned and gave an appropriate answer.

"It's still Yaoguang's sister who is smart, and she immediately grasped the crux of the problem." I nodded approvingly.

"Then have any of our merchants traveled thousands of miles to the land of Western Qin to do this kind of trade?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked me.

"Nope." I shook my head, thought for a moment, and continued: "At least as far as I can remember, there is no one I know who dares to take such an adventurous spirit. ”

"Indeed, if you want to travel thousands of miles, you don't know what kind of danger you have to face, and it's really a bit of a gain or loss." Li Xuanba was serious next to him. "If you want me to lead the army on an expedition, but if you want me to travel thousands of miles with goods, it's too boring."

"Hehe, you are wrong, it's just that because they don't have what we need, our merchants rarely go out of the city, but if there are really goods that are urgently needed and in demand here, even if they risk their lives, there will be merchants who will come out of the city. For example, there are many maritime chambers of commerce that go to the sea for something, not because the southern countries have the spices we need. ”

I shook my head and uttered a description of the capitalists that is etched in my memory. "Do you know that in the farther west of the Western Qin Dynasty, there is a saying that if the merchants have fifty percent of the profits, they will take risks; With 100 percent profits, they dare to trample on all the laws of the world; And with three hundred percent profits, then they dare to go to the danger of the gallows early......"

"Although it is a bit too much, it really makes some sense, for example, those family lords, in order to pay less taxes, even dare to rebel, what is the difference between those businessmen and those businessmen?" Yaoguang girl is the most sober person, and pointed out that in the world, not only businessmen will take risks for the sake of profits, but anyone will take risks for the sake of interests, but the size of the benefits is often proportional to the danger.

"Listening to my brother's words, it's better to read for ten years, hehe, no wonder my mother once said that if the younger brother can study with my brother for ten years, this world will be ......" Li Shimin looked at me for a long time with his eyes, and Fang Zi sighed.

It seems that Queen Dou really values me as a son-in-law, not only is he young and rich, but also ambitious and talented, and he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he can also be literate and martial...... Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-five adjectives are omitted below.

To be able to have such an excellent traverser as me as a son-in-law, I am afraid that Queen Dou will wake up laughing even from a dream, and now, the old Li family is equivalent to betting on two treasures, on one side is Li Yuan's father and son, and on the other side is naturally the son of the son who is in Guanzhong and looks down on the world.

No matter what happens in the future, the old Li family will either be an imperial family or a relative of the emperor, and it will not be impossible to get anything anyway. The Yaoguang girl next to her was also smiling, but when she saw the complacent appearance of her son, the Yaoguang girl suddenly pursed her lips and tilted her gaze, but the smile on her face and the kind of self-satisfaction with glory were all in my eyes.

Continuing slowly, it is currently closed to vehicles, but horses can take the middle road, although it has been regulated, but because there are still many pedestrians and vendors, they can only move slowly like a snail.

Just walked one step and stopped two steps to move forward slowly, after two quarters of an hour, I finally saw the glass shop located at the crossroads of the West Market, I didn't know the road, I was startled at a glance, by the door, the door of the glass shop, at least three or four hundred people were crowded, and it seemed that even the inside of the shop was crowded with people.

The glass windows on the second floor of the glass shop on the street were attracting the attention of merchants from further afield, and they were pointing at the glass shops that were no longer able to stuff people inside

"Damn, this is terrifying, isn't it?" Li Xuanba made an exaggerated call first, and his son was no better, looking at the deliberately selected super gate that was actually squeezed tightly, he really underestimated the thirst of these ancient traders for new things.

From time to time there were hoarse shouts in the shop, and if you listened carefully, it was the voice of Shi Feng, the shopkeeper, and it seemed to be accompanied by the sound of a hammer hitting the table. "Three thousand times for the third time, this crane belongs to this gentleman now...... Let's auction this piece next, hey, don't squeeze it in, and the counter will collapse if you squeeze Lao Tzu again, you fools, quickly resist me"

Li Shimin and the others also heard the sound coming from the shop, and when they heard the number of three thousand, Li Shimin's eyes instantly turned into rabbits. "Grandma's, it's so expensive, I said brother, what does that crane look like, it's so expensive?"

"It's exactly the same as the crane that was given to Fang Xuanling that day, what's wrong?" Ben Gongzi, who is starting for 3,000 and is very complacent, can't help but be curious, could it be that this product still thinks that this son fools him with fake and shoddy products, and he can't sell it with high-quality products?

"Brother, you go slowly, little brother, let's go and see what is going on first." When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't wait to jump off the horse, and squeezed into the crowd with two guards, which immediately provoked a bunch of people's scolding and complaints.

"Let's also get off the horse and go to the restaurant above here to sit down, we can't afford to squeeze with him." This son turned around and said to Yaoguang girl. Sister Yaoguang nodded, anyway, we don't have the time to learn from Li Shimin's goods to crowd people and join in the fun.

Soon, we came to the crossroads located in the opposite side of the glass shop in the restaurant, the decoration is quite fresh and elegant, that is, there are a lot of people, find the shopkeeper, pay double the money, get a two-story window private room, ordered two pots of turbid wine, a few stacks of side dishes, of course, but also a large piece of roasted lamb chops, this thing is for Li Xuanba, the exaggerated appetite of the main shabu shabu to play. Otherwise, this product will definitely ask questions here, which is very annoying.

When I opened the window, I heard the noise coming from the street under the restaurant, and I saw that the Yaoguang girl had round apricot eyes, and she was cute and speechless: "How can it be squeezed like this, this is like buying something, it is like robbing at all." A glass crane costs 3,000 runs, and the time of that day is ......"

"That is, to grab a new one, and after a while, it shouldn't be as crazy as it is now." Ben Gongzi wiped the sweat on his forehead, although it was already late autumn, the autumn tiger was still wantonly discharging heat

Although such a scene is somewhat unexpected, but it is reasonable, remember that there is history, when the Persians introduced perfume to the Central Plains, it made Luoyang empty alleys, and even some people did not hesitate to buy it for thousands of dollars

Today, although the heat brought by glass products is not so exaggerated, but in such a scene, I am also very satisfied, at least I will not lose money, as for being able to earn more and earn less, it mainly depends on the business.

"Brother Wuji, aren't you afraid that they will take this thing back and study it and make it themselves?" Yaoguang girl leaned on the railing, quite curious, and at this moment, I just saw Li Shimin, who was crooked and wrinkled, squeezing out of the store and struggling to squeeze towards us.

"I'm not afraid of this, as long as I want, I can even keep the method of making glass secret for three to five hundred years without the slightest problem." I said with a confident smile. I remember that Venice seems to have kept the secret of glass-making on an island for hundreds of years, and this method may not be impossible if I wanted to.

"Really?" Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes, and her sparkling gaze fell on my face. "How can there be any secret in the world that can be hidden for so long?"

"Of course there is, and it is precisely because of it that we are not clear." I couldn't help but laugh. "Let's just talk about this glass, in fact, this thing was smelted by my Chinese ancestors thousands of years ago, but unfortunately, it is precisely because of our self-cherishing that in the end, because of the war, the method of making glass products has not been handed down."

"And brother, it was when I was reading the group books a few years ago that I saw such a record by chance, and then I slowly tried to produce the finished product......"

I was like a confidant big brother, patiently explaining the history and origin of glass to Sister Yaoguang, and of course, I didn't forget to say goodbye to Sister Yaoguang about the various uses of glass.

The use of glass is too wide, whether it is architecture, or household decoration or household goods, this thing is needed, and even in various scientific research industries and military equipment, it is inseparable from all kinds of glass products.
