Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 287
A month later, at the entrance of the West Market in Chang'an, groups of Hu merchants kept coming and going, no different from usual.

"Hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, who among you can afford to pay for damage to the goods in my carriage?" A Persian businessman shouted in broken Chinese. The treasurer of Datang got off the carriage.

"Shut up! I heard that there have been many envoys from the surrounding countries to the Tang Dynasty recently. The congestion in the West Market is caused by the influx of these foreign envoys. These people are all rich and powerful. You are mere A few truckloads of goods are really nothing in the eyes of others. The problem is that they are all high-ranking officials, how dare you ask them for money?"

The Persian businessman shrank his neck, obviously he was concerned, but his shrewd eyes kept turning, as if he was thinking of something.

At this time, a masked man dressed in a prairie next to him spoke up and said, "Hey, your speech is so unreasonable. Don't you know how to be polite when you bully us outsiders? It is said that Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty has the best law and order. Who dares to bully others and refuse to pay you?" Money? We prairie men will only challenge the strong."

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!" The shopkeeper of Datang hurriedly apologized, then turned his head and whispered to the Persian businessman: "Let's go quickly, one thing more is worse than one thing less..."

After hearing the masked man's words, the Persian businessman's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an idea. He stretched out his hand and pulled the shopkeeper of Datang behind him. I didn't understand, but the shopkeeper of Tang Dynasty hurriedly persuaded: "No, think twice, don't cause trouble..."

But the Persian businessman ignored him, and leaned forward to chat with the masked man, "Sir, are you from the grasslands? You must be well-informed. Can you tell me which countries are envoys around you?" minister?"

The masked man obviously didn't expect this guy to be acquainted, Youdao stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face, took the mint leaves handed over by the other party, pointed to the people around him enthusiastically and introduced, "You're welcome, I'm from Turkic. Actually, I don’t know much about it. You can roughly tell from the clothes that the people here are from Khitan. They are with them. I heard that Khitan and Mohe have a good relationship, so I think they are from Mohe..."

The two were introducing, and saw a few coachmen under the Persian merchants driving a carriage and crowding together with a group of Khitans. Feeling being knocked by the carriage, he immediately counterattacked in dissatisfaction, and several carriages around him were all overturned to the ground, and the goods were scattered everywhere.

Well, now the not-so-spacious entrance became even more congested, and a team of Marquis Wu who patrolled the streets of the Tang Dynasty quickly intervened to mediate, but the Khitan people didn't speak Chinese very well, so it was difficult to communicate.And the Persian businessman stopped chatting a long time ago, sat on the ground and began to cry loudly. It can be seen without a translator that he is complaining about his goods.

The shopkeeper of Datang Yifang stood aside and clicked his tongue, "What did I say, don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble, it's all right now, this trip is wasted, and I won't be able to earn any money."

Captain Wuhou said to the Khitan people: "Hey, where did you come from? If you damage someone's goods, you have to pay according to the price."

After finally figuring out the meaning of this sentence, the Khitan people quit and rushed forward and even wanted to beat the Persian businessman. Datang Wuhou quickly drew his sword, stood in front, and sternly reprimanded: "How? Make trouble? I don't care what your status is in Khitan, when you arrive in Tang Dynasty, you must abide by the rules of Tang Dynasty."

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, the masked man stood up and intervened with a smile, "Everyone, gentlemen, they should be from Khitan to participate in the ball game. They don't understand the language and act recklessly. Why don't I persuade them."

After a moment of silence, the Marquis Wu stood aside with their knives in their hands, pulling the Persian businessman behind him to protect him.

And the masked man actually knew a little Khitan dialect, and he really chatted with those people, "Hey, brothers, I am the general of Turkic Jieli Khan, and I am here to participate in the Cuju competition. Are you also here to play football? ?”

When they heard that it was under Jieli's command, all the Khitan people were in awe, because Turkic Jieli is a big country that can compete with the Tang Dynasty, and the small Khitan country can't afford it. Datang, this is not coming to visit Chang'an in advance, and the driver squeezed with us, hmph, Khitan warriors are not for everyone."

Pfft... The masked man almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking he was a bully, so he was bullying the blond Persian.

"That's not right, I heard that the Khitan side is poorly clothed and hungry, and they can't even get enough to eat. They are busy hunting all day, and you also play football?" the masked man asked suspiciously.

"Hey! Who said no, do you think we are willing to participate in any competition? No, it's all Gaoguli people who lobbied, saying that they want us to participate in the competition together, and then there will be benefits to share with us Khitan. They also said that we are Khitan tribes Hunting all year round, no one can run as fast as anyone else, and you can win by playing football for just a few days. There is no way, and finally the big boss agreed, and we were sent here." The leader also complained.

"So that's the case, then have you learned how to play football?" the masked man asked.

Hearing this, all the Khitan men couldn't help clicking their tongues. The leader seemed very embarrassed, and whispered: "I have learned it, that is, we can run with the ball, and the ball will not follow us. We can kick back and forth. When there is no one, we can play." Kick it in the door."

Pfft...what the hell?What does it mean that the ball will not follow the person?Oh, you mean you don't know how to dribble?The masked man laughed until his stomach ached.

At this time, Marquis Wu urged: "Hey, how is the talk going? Don't talk nonsense, the road is still blocked here."

Oh oh, forgot, forgot, apologizing, the masked man hurriedly and patiently explained the rules, scaring the Khitan people, saying, if you overturned their goods, if you don’t pay for the loss, you will be arrested by Datang and put in prison Wake up, let alone participate in the ball game, even if you go home, you won’t be able to go back.This kind of thing, not to mention Khitan, even if our Turkic Zuo Xianwang came, we would still have to lose money.

The group of people had never seen this before, so they didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and simply took out a bag of high-quality mink fur as compensation. The Persian businessman accepted the compensation, grinning from ear to ear, and quickly ordered his men to clean up the leftovers and clear the streets , but he himself dragged the dazed shopkeeper of Tang Dynasty into the West Market.

It wasn't until this time that the treasurer of the Tang Dynasty realized that the Persian businessman was deliberately playing tricks on the Khitan barbarians!According to the normal situation, the Persian merchants have to put these carts of goods on consignment at several grocery stores in the West Market. After they are sold out, it will take ten and a half months, and the profit can be two or three times higher than that in Persia. times.

But today, with such a commotion, several truckloads of goods were equivalent to being packaged and sold directly to the Khitan people. Not to mention saving time, the Khitan people don’t know the market, and the compensation for a bag of mink fur is very precious, far exceeding the price of the Persian merchant’s goods.

Outsiders don't know how to do it, only the treasurer of Datang understands it, and he didn't point it out, because the things in the Persian businessman's hands made money, and he would scrape off a layer of skin to make money.

"Hey, don't go, you paid the compensation, these truckloads of goods are yours, they are not all damaged inside, you can take them back to see what can be used, and then transport them back to Khitan's hometown, at least it's a gift." Masked The man reminded.

When Khitan and his party heard this, is there such a good thing?Then it's not a loss, a pack of skins can be exchanged for so many big trucks, hey, Datang things are really cheap.

After the episode, it can be said that everyone was happy. No one noticed that the masked man had already exited the queue and walked towards the outside of the West Market. After a while, he got into a four-wheeled carriage and drove slowly towards the palace.

In the Hall of Tai Chi, the emperor and several big think tanks are drinking tea and chatting. Everyone is not discussing the outcome, but guessing the conspiracy behind the game. Someone must have planned it, otherwise so many countries would not be challenged by their own capabilities.

"I know who is behind the scenes!" A clear voice sounded at the entrance of the hall, Qin Wang Li Yuanying stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at the person who came, but then they didn't know who was taking the lead, and everyone agreed laughed.

What, why are you laughing?Don't believe me?Li Yuanying wondered.

Emperor Li Er waved his hand and asked, "Fifth brother, did you just come back from burning charcoal? Why are you so disgraced, Brother Wei almost didn't recognize you."

Can't recognize it with a disheveled face?Li Yuanying was stunned for a moment, looked down, and couldn't help laughing, ahem, I was so absorbed in acting just now that I forgot to remove my makeup.

Isn't this attire the same as the masked man at the gate of the West Market just now?
