Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 408: Trading Market

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was Li Feng who came up with the idea at the beginning. Unexpectedly, when Li Shimin's blood boiled and his heart was excited, he once again stopped him. This made Li Shimin and Li Chengqian look at each other in confusion, wondering what Li Feng was going to do.  Well.  />

    "What does fourth brother think is wrong? Are you worried about some bad intentions on the part of the Turks, or are you worried about those people?"

    However, Li Shimin still fully respected Li Feng's opinions, so he asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

    If there are any concerns about this matter, there is no doubt that they only come from two aspects.  One of them is, of course, afraid of some tricks played by the Turks.  On the other hand, they are the people Li Feng mentioned just now.  After all, people will definitely not give up if their financial path is cut off.

    However, these do not seem to be too big a problem for the current Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin.  Needless to say, as for the Turks, if they want to play any tricks, the war will restart at worst. Li Shimin is not afraid of war.  It¡¯s hard to say, by then even the excuse to leave the army will be ready.

    As for the remaining clowns, to be honest, Li Shimin was eager for them to jump out and cause trouble.  As long as they can stand their ground, Li Shimin doesn't mind going to war with them.  Fortunately, now that the foreign war has basically come to an end, it is time to free up energy to deal with domestic affairs.

    "I'm not saying this is bad, but I think it's not good enough. I think it's best to establish a trading market while ensuring the safety and smoothness of trade routes."

    Li Feng is of course not against this cooperation, but he feels that if this thing is not done, it will not be done. If it is to be done, then it should be done big and well.  After returning to Xinbaihualou last night, he had been thinking about this matter, thinking about it over and over again.  The best way is to build a large international trading market directly on the border.

    "Fourth brother, do you mean to open a market at the border gate?"

    Although the trading market mentioned by Li Feng was a bit unfamiliar, Li Shimin quickly understood what Li Feng meant.

    "That's right, the market is open"

    Seeing that Li Shimin understood what he meant, Li Feng nodded and said.

    After seeing Li Feng nod, Li Shimin did not speak immediately. Instead, he was deep in thought, thinking about the pros and cons.  But, think about it.  This brow began to wrinkle slowly, and I don't know whether it was because I couldn't figure out why I needed to do this, or because I thought of something difficult.

    "Fourth brother, can you tell me what are the benefits of doing this?"

    After a while.  Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Feng and asked slowly.  Since Li Feng proposed such an idea, of course he had his reasons.  All in all, it¡¯s better to wait to hear Li Feng¡¯s reasons before making a decision.

    "As far as I know, in the past, the Silk Road basically started from Changjian West Market, and then traveled along the trade routes to transport goods to various countries. However, other places in the country were restricted due to various reasons.  , very few people participate. As a result, the role of this economic lifeline is greatly limited.¡±

    "There are many reasons for this. For example, there are many people, due to financial reasons, cargo reasons. Or they may not have the strength to conduct long-distance trade. This has to be said, it is a great regret and loss."

    "And if the market can be opened directly at the border. In this way, the entry barrier for this trade will be lowered. Many goods only need to be transported to the border to be traded. In this way, it will definitely allow more places to  More people get involved, making this trade lifeline more prosperous.¡±

    "When there are more people doing this kind of business, competition becomes fierce. Only with competition can there be vitality, and it can quickly break the current monopoly situation."

    "As transactions become more convenient, the transaction volume will increase. Not to mention anything else, if tariffs are collected by then, it will bring even more benefits to the court."

    With Li Feng¡¯s explanation, Li Shimin suddenly became excited again.  To be honest, he had never thought that this matter would have such great benefits.

    Indeed, if a market is really opened at the border, it will be a great thing for merchants.  There is no doubt that this business activity will definitely flourish.  It can even bloom all over the ground.  If the threshold is lowered, more people will get started.

    As the number of people increases, the impact on those aristocratic families that have been monopolizing this industry will be even greater.  Likewise, taxes will become more substantial.  Just these two points made Li Shimin excited.

    "Okay, haha, I know that as soon as things are in your hands, fourth brother, things will definitely become unexpected. The market is opening well, the market is opening well, this"No matter what kind of trading market is to be built, it must be built.  "

    "Well, if this market is built, it will also be very beneficial to the stability of the border. At least in the future, the transportation of border supplies will not have to be so troublesome for the court. As long as this market exists, there will definitely be a large amount of supplies."

    "Moreover, this market has been built. It can also avoid any accidents in the future and let the Turks block the Silk Road. Well, not bad, not bad"

    At this time, Li Shimin may be in a good mood, or he may have suddenly enlightened.  The more I think about it, the more benefits this suggestion has.  However, Li Feng was thinking about economic things, while Li Shimin was thinking about other things.

    As the saying goes, different locations have different ways of thinking about problems and different things that come to mind. This is normal.

    "However, the cost of building such a market is not low. If the market is built too small, it will not work. If it is built, it must be built grand enough. Now the national treasury wants to come up with this money, but it can't.  "What do you think of this, fourth brother?"

    The matter was basically settled at this point, but Li Shimin soon began to frown again, because he immediately thought of money issues again.

    ¡°Whether the treasury can take out this money is a question, and the biggest problem is that with such a large investment, when the time comes, many people may use this as an excuse to oppose it.  After all, in the traditional concept, this business matter is something that is deliberately belittled.  What's more, at this time when the national treasury is not full and money is needed everywhere.

    ¡°Also, if this thing is really done, it will be fatal to the interests of some people, and it is impossible for those people to fail to take action.

    "Father, I think this matter can be handled the old way."

    Seeing Li Shimin¡¯s sad face, Li Chengqian, who had been listening, finally spoke.  Because, he suddenly thought of a way.

    "The old way? What old way?"

    "Well, it's just like the method used by Fourth Uncle when the square was built last time. Because, if this market is really established, most of them must be shops and warehouses. The market was established by the imperial court. Of course, these things  It belongs to the imperial court. If those merchants want to use these things, they must either rent or buy them. So, why don't we use the old method again?  It¡¯s a white wolf with empty gloves.¡±

    Last time, Li Chengqian participated in the entire construction of the Monument Square, so he was very clear about every link in it.  Although he didn't know much about this so-called market, it was just the same thing.

    In this way, as long as it is done properly, the method used when building the square can be used.  Then, wouldn¡¯t all the problems be solved?

    "Yes, this is a good idea. However, this time is different from the situation in the square. If you want to persuade those businessmen to invest money, you still need to make good preparations. Fourth brother, look at this  thing"

    Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Li Shimin also reacted.  Indeed, this is not an obvious solution.  If it is done properly, not only will the court not have to spend much money, material and manpower, but it may even make a fortune.

    Thinking of this, he nodded to Li Chengqian with great satisfaction, and then looked at Li Feng with a smile on his face.

    "Don't look at me, I don't care about this matter, you can figure it out yourself."

    When Li Shimin looked at him, Li Feng quickly stated that he would not do this.  Are you kidding me? He had already prepared the square last time, so there was nothing he could do about it.  Also, building a square is only in Chang'an, which is only an hour away from home.

    And the trading market to be built now is at the border. Even if there is an emergency report from the border, it will take several days to reach it.  Moreover, with such a big market, who knows when it will be built.

    No matter what, he won¡¯t do anything about it.  This is simply worse than the last time we went to the battlefield.

    "Well, there is no rush in this matter. The preliminary work will take a long time. However, now we can finalize the proposal put forward by the Turks."

    Seeing Li Feng¡¯s expression, Li Shimin knew that it was impossible for Li Feng to take charge of this matter.  But fortunately, firstly, this matter is not urgent, and secondly, the Monument Square incident has already happened, so there is something we can learn from.

    Since everything has been explained, Li Feng has nothing to do here.  In the following time, he began to focus on decorating his shop.

      Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is a good time to sell clothes. The sooner the store is completed, the sooner the sale can be carried out, and the sooner Rou Niang can settle down.

    There are too many things in the world, and our ability is too small to take care of so many things.  There are too many people in the world, and our hearts are too small to care.  This can be said to be the most realistic portrayal of Li Feng.
