"Didi didi~!"
At the Xuanjia Army Camp, the soldiers had already gotten up. People from all camps were doing morning exercises or morning exercises. Li Zexuan did not go for morning exercises with the soldiers of Wuzi Camp today because before the exercises, Baolin came over to tell him about the telegraph machine. rang, so he quickly returned to the camp to receive the telegram.
"It's Xiaoke!"
Li Zexuan thought it was a telegram from Tiedan, but after he confirmed the identity of the person on the other side of the telegraph machine, he discovered that the person who sent the telegram turned out to be Li Ke!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but be a little curious, thinking what was Li Ke doing sending a telegram at this time? Could it be that something happened at the bank
"Didi didi di~!"
Forcibly suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Li Zexuan calmed down and listened intently to the telegram sent by Li Ke. It was said that he never took notes when receiving telegrams. He listened completely with his ears and "translated them in real time" in his mind.
"Chang'an Hu Shang An Shuncai, Kang Fuliang and others are willing to pay a huge sum of 50,000 yuan to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce to purchase the right to market the products of Qiquge Workshop in Hu land and the Western Regions. Mr. Lin is not in the chamber of commerce. Boss Lin, Boss Cao and Uncle Fu, etc. People don’t dare to make independent opinions, so I specially asked the students to send a report to ask if Mr. Hu wants to cooperate with the ninth surnamed Hu Shang!"
After listening to the telegram, Li Zexuan couldn't help but sneered and said: "Huh! I originally planned to wait until Taiyuan's incident was over before settling the accounts with you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door so quickly! Anshun, this Anshun is different from Anshun Does the mountain have anything to do with it..."
In the telegram sent to him by Tiedan last night, in addition to telling about Xuanye and Tianying's failure to rob the prison last night and being arrested, they also roughly told him about the chaos in Taiyuan City in recent days, including Kang Qu's alliance with Kang Guo. Businessmen hoarded food, incited civil unrest, and Anshun Mountain colluded with Turkic spies to cause trouble in Taiyuan.
These nine-surnamed Hu merchants relied on the fact that they had been operating in Pangen in the Central Plains for many years and had huge power and financial resources. They were so arrogant that they dared to make small moves behind the scenes and go against the government. Whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, they all directly or indirectly helped them. He killed the Turkic spies and created great difficulties for Li Junxian to rescue Li Tai. Li Zexuan hated these people with all his heart!
Li Zexuan is now in the military camp, and Li Tai has not been rescued yet, so he has no intention of revenge on those people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu. However, he did not expect that those people would "take the initiative to come to his door". How could he let them go
Others may be afraid of the Nine Zhaowu surnames, but Li Zexuan, who is backed by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, Qiquge Workshop, Yanhuang Academy and Yanhuang Bank, will not be afraid! Strictly speaking, his current power and the financial resources he can mobilize are no less than those of the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu!
More importantly, his mind is filled with knowledge from the 21st century. The knowledge is priceless. With this advanced knowledge, he can easily create many products that people in this era are eager for. For example, the glassware and bicycles previously produced by Qiquge Workshop, as well as electric lamps, toilet paper, etc.!
In the future, perfumes, soaps, radios and other "products that time travelers must make" will also be made by him or his students. Each of these things can bring huge amounts of wealth.
And what about those businessmen with nine surnames named Hu? Since the Sogdian region is the throat of the middle section of the Silk Road, it is natural that the Sogdians, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, have become a nation with a business tradition. To put it bluntly, they have become hereditary "second-hand traders", selling Chinese silk to the West. , selling Western gems, wine, etc. to the Tang Dynasty. These people only buy and sell without any technical content at all. They will eventually be eliminated by the times!
Perhaps this is why they are willing to spend a lot of money to purchase the marketing rights for Qiquge Workshop products, because they see the irreplaceability of the products produced by Qiquge and the huge business opportunities behind them!
"Didi didi di~!"
"Tell them that cooperation is absolutely impossible! Not only that, from now on, Yanhuang Bank in Datang will no longer provide any services to Kangguo and Anguo merchants, including lending, storing and exchanging Tang Yuan, until Kangguo The king and the king of Anguo will give me a satisfactory explanation to Datang!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan tapped the telegraph machine and replied to Li Ke.
On the other end of the telegraph machine, Li Ke was stunned after receiving the news. He initially thought that Li Zexuan would agree to Hu Shang's request. After all, it was 50,000 yuan, and it was only the marketing power of Hu Di and the Western Regions. There is no conflict at all with the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce's business in Datang. Li Zexuan should readily agree to such a good thing, but why did Li Zexuan refuse it without hesitation now? It was fine if he refused, but why did Yanhuang Bank stop dealing with merchants from Kang and Anguo? What kind of song is this
Also, what does Li Zexuan’s last sentence mean? What explanations do the kings of Kang and An have to give to Datang
"Sir, why is this?"
With his mind full of questions, Li Ke sent a telegram asking.
Regarding the matter in Taiyuan, Li Zexuan could not explain it clearly in a few words. He simply replied: "In Taiyuan City, there are merchants from Kangguo and Anguo who disrupted the situation and hindered the government from rescuing Qingque. Hu merchants with the nine surnames have been doing business in the Central Plains for many years and their power has gradually grown. He is becoming more and more arrogant and must be taught a lesson!"
"What? There are merchants from Kang and An Guo in Taiyuan who are blocking the officers and soldiers from rescuing Qingque!!"
At the Shu Palace, after Li Ke translated the telegram sent by Li Zexuan, his eyes burst into flames. He also learned some things about Taiyuan City from Li Chengqian and Changle. He knew that Li Tai was captured by a Turkic spy. Li Junxian They are trying to find a way to rescue Li Tai in Taiyuan City. If it were a year ago, he would naturally not care about Li Tai's life and death, and would even wish for Li Tai, a arrogant little fat man, to die. But now, after more than a year of getting along with each other in the academy, Li Tai is In his heart, he is not only a good friend and classmate, but also a good brother!
That's why Li Ke was so angry when he heard that merchants from Kang and An were making trouble and disrupting the situation in Taiyuan! At this moment, he finally understood why Li Zexuan refused to cooperate with Hu Shang with the ninth surname without hesitation!
Just using the power of Yanhuang Bank to punish the merchants of An and Kang in the Tang Dynasty was a method Li Ke had never seen or heard of!
Inside the Xuanjia Army camp, Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and then began to send a telegram report: "Xiao Ke, now Tang Yuan is not only popular in the Tang Dynasty, but also gradually begins to widely use Tang Yuan settlement in the trade between the Tang Dynasty and other countries, because Tang Yuan Yuan It is more convenient and easier to carry than gold, silver and copper coins. More and more people will become accustomed to this convenience!
Therefore, mastering currency means mastering the economic lifeline, not only the economic lifeline of Datang, but also possibly the economic lifeline of other countries! Today, Yanhuang Bank is used to punish the merchants of An and Kang. I call it financial sanctions. I hope you will have a good experience and grasp the appropriateness! "
