I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

"Is that Mr. Gao?" A Persian businessman asked, as if he wanted to struggle again.

The man who walked in shook his head: "I don't know."

As he spoke, he smiled wryly.

"I just inquired about the news when I was watched by someone. The person caught me, and after confirming my identity, he said to me viciously, don't inquire any more."

"Although I don't know why he was quite polite to me at first."

"But with the latter attitude, I feel that if I really continue to investigate, my life may be in the hands of that person."

He paused, sighed, a little helpless: "If people like us die, the people of Datang won't worry about us."

No one cared about the second half of his sentence.

Everyone is downcast.

They don't even know who the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion is, how can they visit and give gifts, and how can they do Liuli's business if they don't say something nice.

Just when they were overwhelmed.

A man dressed as a servant walked to the door of the room under the guidance of the innkeeper.

"That's it?" the servant raised his hand, slapped his nose, and asked with a frown.

The innkeeper nodded.

The Persian businessman in the room poked his head out curiously and looked at the servant.

Han people.

What did he come here for? Why did he come to find him? Did he come to find him for business?

"I'm here to talk to you on the orders of my elder family." The servant hesitated for a moment, stood at the door and struggled for a moment, then lifted his foot and walked in.

"My Dalang is the master of Linlang Pavilion."

As these words came out of the servant's mouth, the faces of several Persian businessmen became eager.

Linlang Pavilion!
Come find them!
Does this mean that they still have hope to do Liuli's business?
The servant slowly took out a book from his pocket, put it on their table, and then continued slowly: "My Dalang is not very willing to do business with you barbarians."

"But considering your sincerity, it doesn't hurt to do business."

"It's just that you are not allowed to use Tang money to make transactions."

"Item Linlang Pavilion has some other needs, so just barter."

"It's all written in this booklet."

After finishing speaking, the servant seemed to remember something, and his face was a little dignified: "You all understand Chinese, right?"

Several Persian businessmen nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

The servant breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he understands Chinese, which didn't make what he just said useless.

Several other Persian businessmen picked up the booklet and looked at it. They naturally need to understand Chinese to do business in Datang.Datang people are not proud of learning Persian.

They can read a lot, but they still seem to be struggling.

After half an hour, they only read about half of it.

But there is no need to continue reading this meeting. The previous content is the same, and the latter is not much different from the previous one.

Stones, trees, plants.
There are even animal carcasses, organs and the like.

Linlang Pavilion needs these things.

"Is this what Linlang Pavilion needs?" A Persian businessman was a little surprised, blinked his eyes, and asked in poor Chinese.

The servant nodded.

This was simply a huge surprise for them.

In addition to copper, iron, gold and silver, which are not easy to obtain, other resources, especially rocks, soil, and trees, are not easy to obtain?
"So this thing is called bauxite?" Another Persian businessman said slowly, suppressing the surprise in his voice, "There is such a land near my house."

"I didn't expect Linlang Pavilion to need this thing."

One hundred catties of bauxite can be exchanged for a glass cup, and if you are willing to deliver two hundred catties of bauxite, the pattern on it can even be customized.

Where can such a good thing be found.

As for the price of one hundred catties of bauxite, it is very cheap. You only need to take care of people's meals, and one hundred catties can be dug out in a day.

Things like aluminum are not worth much.

Other metals can be more or less used to make weapons, utensils, and agricultural tools, but aluminum alone is not good. It is too flexible, and it will bend and break if you plan it twice.

But because it is somewhat similar to silver, many people will use aluminum to pretend that silver is.

Without the glass-making method developed by Yin Xuan, exchanging one hundred catties of bauxite for a glass cup would be a sure-fire business.

Other Persian businessmen cast envious eyes.

There is a bauxite mine near his home, which means that he can obtain glass cups steadily, but they have to consider other materials.

The servant smiled slightly, and said softly: "My Dalang is in urgent need of selling a batch of colored glaze recently, so it is natural to uphold the principle that rare things are valuable."

"However. Since I'm lenient with you, I'll barter."

"Naturally, the rules of trading can't follow the bright side. No matter how much resources you have and how much resources you can provide, you can come to my Linlang Pavilion to exchange for the corresponding glazed utensils."

"Do you understand?"

Several Persian businessmen nodded heavily and agreed.

They hugged the booklet as if they were holding some rare treasure.

Seeing that they should come down, the servant turned around and left. Firstly, he couldn't stand the air quality, and secondly, he had to hurry to deliver brochures to other Hu merchants.

It took two days to notify all non-Datang merchants in Chang'an City.

Booklets are distributed.

All the barbarian merchants were alarmed, and some even disposed of the goods in their hands at a low price, just to return to their country earlier and prepare the resources needed for glassware.

Together, these behaviors make a giant wave.

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to hide it from Li Shimin, so he wrote a memorial and submitted it.

"The store doesn't use Tang money, but these rocks, soil and plants?" Li Shimin frowned slightly as he looked at the memorial and the booklet attached to it.

Seeing that it had nothing to do with state affairs, Empress Changsun interjected: "The store still dotes on the two of them quite a bit, so they have replaced them."

Empress Changsun hadn't finished speaking.

Li Shimin waved his hand, interrupted her, and continued to frown and think.

Something is not quite right about this.

He is also aware of merchants and often sees them, but this is the only incident that makes him feel a little unusual.Usually when foreign merchants come to do business, they only sell spices, local specialties, or orchid women, but Yin Xuan gave this brochure out.
It gave Li Shimin a feeling that Yin Xuan seemed to want those Hu merchants to do business with their land.

vaguely.

Li Shimin felt as if he had thought of something.
