I feel more at ease. "
"Didn't the prince tell you? The prince has made a lot of money from it, and he has a lot of contacts. Alas! These should all be yours." Ming Tao sighed regretfully.
Ming Yu felt amused in his heart, did he really take him for a fool? Can such an obvious sowing of dissension be used
But Ming Yu smiled naively, "This is what it should be. The prince brother has helped Ming Yu a lot and earned so much money for me. I have always been generous, and I will always remember when others treat me well."
There is no cure for the stupid, and I am still grateful to others after being sold. Ming Tao looked down on Ming Yu's stupidity, didn't dare to show it on his face, forced a smile and said: "What kind of person is Fourteenth Brother, can we brothers not know? I'm just worried for you, afraid that you will suffer. "
"Brother Sanhuang's kindness, Ming Yu accepts it." Ming Yu nodded, "My brother can eat anything, but he can't afford it. Look, I brought so many goods back here, and if I suffer a little, I won't cry to death? "
"Hey! That's, that's." Ming Tao felt itchy, and asked tentatively, "Does Fourteenth Brother have any new ideas for this batch of goods this time? If you can use Brother Huang's, just tell me." , Brother Sanhuang will definitely do his best to help, so there is no need to worry about any problems at all."
Ming Tao looked ugly, and he almost didn't say that Ming Yu should hand over the goods to him to handle it. Ming Yu secretly said in his heart, if it is really handed over to you, then you won't even be able to spit out the scum, right
Ming Yu saw it, and didn't say anything, just took a sip of tea slowly, shook his head and said: "I don't have any ideas? This matter is so complicated, I don't want to worry about it so much. It doesn't bother me. The prince brother is familiar with the road. It's good for him too."
Ming Tao was secretly anxious, although he also knew that Ming Yu could not give these things to himself with just a few words, but he still wanted to try. Hearing what Ming Yu said now, it was also expected, but he did not give up, he hadn't been able to get involved before, maybe this time could make Ming Yu change his mind? Anyway, it's all Ming Yu's, and he can count on what he says.
"Fourteenth brother, look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to assist with government affairs, and he is busy with affairs, so he can't take care of so many things. Besides, it is really disrespectful for a country's prince to do this kind of merchant's business." Ming Tao said righteously. Ling Ran said.
"Ah? There is still such a saying?" Ming Yu pretended not to understand, scratched his head and said annoyedly: "Didn't the prince brother say that? He just said that you can leave it to him, so I can rest assured that he is To comfort me? I... I am too troubled. Losing the state is a big deal, so what should I do?"
Ming Tao comforted him and said: "Fourteenth brother, don't worry. In fact, the third brother is fine. You can also share some of the burden for His Royal Highness. If I come forward, no one will blame the prince."
"Brother Sanhuang, you are really a good person." Ming Yu issued a good person card to Ming Tao, "I don't know what to do with this matter! Why don't I ask the prince and father first. Look at them How should I put it, but I will definitely bring Brother Sanhuang's kindness to me."
After Ming Yu asked the prince and the emperor, what else could he do? Ming Tao was depressed, and he couldn't explain it face to face, even if he was going crazy, he couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing his complexion changing wonderfully, Ming Yu couldn't help laughing in her heart, "Oh! In fact, this business is really meaningless. It wasn't because of the lack of money that it happened before. It's worth noting that it's worth the effort. It’s not much money, it’s just tasteless.”
Ming Tao's eyes lit up, it seemed that the news they got was correct, Ming Yu really wanted to give up this business. He had thought about forming a caravan by himself, and he could trade in the Western Regions like Ming Yu did, but caravans are easy to build, so where can we find the guards
He is just a prince, and his guards are all regulated. It is impossible for a king like Ming Yu to have hundreds or even thousands of guards. He also knew the situation in the outskirts. Without bodyguards to protect the caravan, it was still a mystery whether the caravan would be able to go to the Western Regions, let alone trade.
Since Ming Yu doesn't want business from the Western Regions anymore, wouldn't it be appropriate for him to take this opportunity to take over the caravan? It also saved him a lot of wasted money. The most important thing is that Ming Yu's caravan is used to traveling in the Western Regions, and they are familiar with the roads, and they are easy to use.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to get involved in the sale of goods anymore. How can short-term benefits compare with long-term benefits? As long as there are caravans, is it possible that there will be no goods from the Western Regions? Being able to persuade Ming Yu to let go of the caravan is the most important thing.
"So, the fourteenth brother doesn't want the business of the Western Regions anymore? It's a pity. To be honest, the emperor is planning to follow the example of the fourteenth brother to do this business after seeing the fourteenth brother's prosperity. Woolen cloth."
Ming Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened, after only throwing such a little bait, the fish was hooked, tsk tsk! You can't do it if you don't want to.
"Huh? What Brother Sanhuang said is true? Hey! Isn't it easy? Then you can form a caravan. You know me, my brother does everything on the spur of the moment. It’s boring, anyway, I don’t want to run a business anymore.”
Ming Yu was not joking, people's energy is limited, how can anyone lose watermelon and pick up sesame seeds? His future focus is to control the Silk Road like the Xiqi Corridor, and turn Liangcheng into a commodity trading city. This is the people's livelihood plan in his development plan, rather than getting rich by truckloads of goods from the Western Regions.
In the beginning, things were rare and expensive, and it was normal for goods from the Western Regions to be extremely expensive, but when he opened up the Xiqi Corridor, more merchants from Dayan went out and brought in merchants from different countries. This is doomed that in the future, these things from the Western Regions will become ordinary items that ordinary people can afford. In this way, there is no need for Ming Yu to do anything extra.
Ming Tao received Ming Yu's personal confirmation, he was overjoyed, and smiled very kindly: "Since the fourteenth brother no longer runs a business caravan, why not transfer the caravan to the third brother?"
"This..." Ming Yu hesitated.
Ming Tao continued his efforts, trying to persuade Ming Yu with his sharp tongue, "Fourteenth brother, third brother will naturally not treat you badly. Whatever conditions you want, even if you say it, I will do my best."
Ming Yu's expression was strange, "Brother Sanhuang, do you really want to take over the caravan?"
Ming Tao nodded again and again, his face was full of expectation, "Exactly, exactly, the third brother will take over the caravan, and you can drive it on condition. Otherwise, your caravan will not go to the business, but will be wasted. Anyway, it's your fault." Build it by hand."
Ming Yu's expression was a little loose, as if he was moved by Ming Tao's elation, "Brother Sanhuang is right, since that's the case, there must be conditions, I just wonder if Brother Sanhuang can accept my conditions!"
"Tell me." Ming Tao didn't talk nonsense, he said firmly. As long as Ming Yu lets go, everything will be easy to handle.
Ming Yu thought about it for a long time, and when Ming Tao was so impatient that he almost opened Ming Yu's mouth to speak, Ming Yu said, "First, I want you to pay 30% of the profit of the goods, no matter whether you enter or exit, as long as you If the caravan brings goods, I have to count as one of them. If this cannot be done, the rest will be ignored.”
Hiss ~ 30% profit, Ming Tao felt a little distressed, but thinking about the high value of a trip, he seemed to be able to accept it, he weighed it again and again, and nodded slowly.
Ming Yu was very satisfied, "Secondly, the escort team is mine, this cannot be counted in the caravan."
"What?" Ming Tao was a little anxious when he heard that the guards were not included in the caravan. He wanted to take over the caravan mainly because of the guards. If there were no guards, he might as well form a new caravan by himself. Not only would he not have to share the profits with Ming Yu, but he would feel more at ease using it for himself.
"This won't work. There are no guards, and there is no guarantee for the caravan. What is the difference between such a caravan and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? You don't need to go to the Western Regions, just go out of Shichong Pass, and there will be no caravan left." Ming Tao said decisively.
Ming Yu didn't care about Ming Tao's objection, but instead smiled calculatingly: "Brother Sanhuang, don't worry, listen to me."
Ming Tao sat up straight, but wanted to hear what Ming Yu had to say, Ming Yu was not in a hurry. Gently skimmed off the froth on the tea with the lid of the teacup in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said: "If the third brother needs a guard to protect him, that's fine. This brother can afford a certain amount of money. After all, the guards also have to eat, so it’s not beneficial to help the emperor’s brother for nothing, right? In this way, the younger brother will suffer a lot, how can this work? In a word, I can send the guards only when I have money. The team is borrowed from you, what do you think? Or you can also spend money to hire other bodyguards or something. However, I, the guards, only need to see their performance these two times to know that they have no ability, can Bring back such goods?"
Ming Tao heard that the guards had to count the money separately, which made him a little hard to accept, but after hearing what Ming Yu said later, he began to hesitate again. What Ming Yu said is quite right, if he hadn't taken a fancy to his guards, why would he bother to sit here and let him talk like a lion
Ming Yu stared at him, cleared his throat, "Brother Sanhuang, this is a lucrative business. If Brother Sanhuang is reluctant to part with this little money, younger brother can't help it." After finishing speaking, he said to himself: " Today, the Ma family, the Wang family, and that one, they seem to be very interested in talking about this matter. They have money, so they don’t care about it. Why don’t you go and see what they mean, say There might be more benefits.”
Ming Tao was terrified when he heard that, how could this work? If the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, how can it be cheaper for others
"Fourteenth brother!" Ming Tao hurriedly said, "Fourteenth brother, it's not that third brother doesn't want to
