Datang romantic little landlord

Not to mention, there are also the sales of lottery tickets at the stadium, as well as the proceeds from selling cooked water and food in the stadium.

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, estimated that after one year, Li Wangyou relied on this golf course to earn no less than 30 guan.

After reading the calculation given by Dai Zhou, all officials were dumbfounded.

Who the hell said that Bo Li Wangyou of Hu County was a prodigal son?

Those officials who had secretly laughed at Li Wangyou's "prodigal" now felt burning pain on their faces, and their faces were almost slapped by the data given by Dai Shangshu.

After the embarrassment, it was full of jealousy.

In the face of such a huge profit, how can all the bigwigs sit still?Naturally want to get a piece of it.

It only takes 2 taels of gold and 12 copper coins to build a batting field, and it can be earned back in half a year. No fool would do such a thing.

In fact, Li Wangyou's Dazhao fighting field does not belong to him personally.

As early as the beginning of the construction of the batting ground, Li Wangyou was very savvy, found the eldest grandson empress, and offered four members with both hands.

On Cheng Yaojin's mansion, he also sent [-]% of the members.At the beginning of building this batting field, I asked that old man Cheng Yaojin borrowed a large sum of gold, so he couldn't help sharing some benefits, that's really unreasonable.

As for the tickets for the batting field, Li Wangyou didn't actually get that much.

He had already asked Li Er that half of the ticket sales would be distributed to the 22 Imperial Guards.As for the final league champion, the batting field will also provide a substantial bonus as a reward.

But Dai Zhou's prediction was also correct. According to the calculations of Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss, even if half of the ticket revenue, as well as the operating costs and expenses of the batting field were removed, the income would not be less than 20 guan in a year.

In other words, every year Li Er and Li Wangyou, the uncle and nephew, can each get no less than [-] guan in income from this batting field, and Cheng Yaojin also has a [-] guan bonus.

Although Li Er has made a lot of profits from it, he can't use this as a reason to stop Dai Zhou and others from suggesting.After all, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty first, and he has to consider the court, not just the income from the palace treasury.

Therefore, Li Er rejected Li Wangyou's proposal to build another battering field, and instead, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry began to look for a suitable Lifang in Chang'an City, and planned to build a new battering field.

In this regard, Li Wangyou could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, expressing regret.

He didn't particularly care about this matter, there were many ways to make money, and it was a good thing that Chaotang was willing to pay for the construction of the batting field.

He was even a little happy, at least the officials of Datang finally saw the rich rewards brought by the "sports industry".Presumably with such a stimulus, Datang's sports development may have a different track.

Li Wangyou is very happy to see such a change...

Amidst the sound of morning drums, the gate of Chang'an City slowly opened. Bai Mobi raised his eyes to look at the dark city wall in front of him, and exhaled a long breath of foul air. Chang'an City has finally arrived again.

Bai Mobi is a businessman in the country of Kucha, who goes back and forth between Kucha and Chang'an every year to sell various commodities.

From Kucha King Zhiyan City, east to Chang'an 480 li.

It almost takes nearly three months on the road to reach the distant destination.The caravans led by Bai Mobi all come from spring to summer and go back and forth once a year to sell goods.

In this era, a long journey is definitely an arduous journey unimaginable by others.If it weren't for this Silk Road, which could bring him high profits that he couldn't refuse, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to persist.

Bai Mobi is almost 30 years old this year, and he has traveled for an unknown number of years on this trade route from Qiuci to Chang'an City.Years of traveling made him look like he was in his 50s and [-]s, and the wind and sand blown out of his face were all the vicissitudes of time.

In fact, Bai Mobi didn't have to work so hard. The Bai surname is in Qiuci, and it is the same as the Li surname in Tang Dynasty, both of which are national surnames.In Kucha language, white is a transliteration of Sanskrit puspa, which means "flowers for Buddha".

It's a pity that the current king of Kucha is addicted to beauty, singing and dancing, and ignores the government. As a result, the current regime in Kucha has actually fallen into the control of Xiang Nali of Kucha.

Bai Mobi and others from the royal family were suppressed by the Prime Minister Nali, and life became difficult because of this.

As a last resort, Bai Mobi, who was only young at the time, was forced to follow the caravan in the Western Regions and began to try to learn business, so as to support his family.

Hufen, benzoin, and good horses produced in Kucha can be sold at high prices after they are transported to Chang'an.And the silk porcelain sold back from Chang'an is even more precious than gold.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Mobi has been traveling on this Silk Road for nearly ten years.Years of arduous business journeys have allowed him to save a lot of money. Even in Kucha, Bai Mobi is a big businessman.

Originally this year, Bai Mobi wanted to arrive in Chang'an City before the Shangyuan Festival.He had spent several Shangyuan Festivals in Chang'an City, and he was fascinated by the bright nights of thousands of lights.

It's a pity that more than a dozen camels in the caravan on the road had a small problem, which delayed the trip for a few days and missed the opportunity to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City again.

Now Bai Mobi just wants to go to the city as soon as possible, go to the warehouse in the West Market to unload the goods, and then go to the barbarian restaurant to drink a glass of fine wine to relieve the pain of the three months of travel.

There were many caravans waiting to enter the city. There were city guards at the city gate to check the entry documents and public inspections, and officials from the Chang'an City Administration checked and registered the caravan goods, so the speed of letting them into the city was not too fast.

Bai Mobi's caravan was not small in scale, with nearly a hundred people and more than three hundred camels, carrying goods worth tens of thousands.He estimated the sun and felt that the caravan would not be able to enter Chang'an City without an hour or two.

Thinking of this, Bai Mobi felt a little irritable, he really wanted to go to a barbarian's restaurant and have a glass of fine wine right away.

When he was annoyed, he saw a group of nearly a hundred horse-drawn carriages approaching from a distance, and they entered the city directly through Mingde Gate without even queuing up.The soldiers guarding the gate seemed to have not seen it, and did not stop it at all.

What made Bai Mobi even more surprised was that these carriages had four wheels, the carriages were much larger, and there were picks of various colors inserted into the carriages.

He simply jumped off his horse, walked up to a soldier guarding the gate, and saluted him, "Master, please, may I ask why these carriages can enter the city directly without inspection?"

The gatekeeper was an old soldier, and he was quite polite to them Western Region caravans. Seeing his questioning, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The shopkeeper hasn't been to Chang'an for a long time?"

"That's right, I left Chang'an in April of the second year of Zhenguan. Somebody is a businessman from Kucha Kingdom, and it's not easy to go back and forth." Bai Mobi sighed.

The old pawn nodded: "Then it's no wonder you don't know. These carriages are not for transporting goods. They are all public carriages in Chang'an City, so there is no need for inspection."

"What do you mean by this public carriage?" Bai Mobi hurriedly asked.

The old pawn explained: "Hehe, the treasurer must also know that Chang'an is a big city, and it's not easy to live in. The huge Chang'an city, if there is no horse to travel, it is not easy to travel. These public carriages are new gadgets made by Huxian Bo. .Anyone can take this public carriage, and it will take you to your destination for two cents a time, which is very convenient."

Bai Mobi had never heard of the Hu County Uncle that the old soldier mentioned.After all, when he left Chang'an City last year, Li Wangyou had just been granted the title of founding county son by Li Erchi.

Bai Mobi thought that this noble count should be a nobleman in Chang'an City, which has nothing to do with him, so he didn't care.

"Is there such a good thing? Then dare to ask the picks of different colors on these carriages, what's the meaning?"

"That represents the route of the public carriage. The public carriages of different colors have different routes in Chang'an City. The shopkeeper must be going to the West Market, right? Have you seen the green carriage? Get on the carriage and go. I can send you directly to the West Market."

After Bai Mobi thanked the old soldier, he pondered for a while and simply greeted the stewards in the caravan.He was going to enter the city first and go to the barbarian restaurant in Xishi to rest.After leading the caravan into the city, he will go to the warehouse to join the caravan.

After explaining the management of the caravan, Bai Mobi brought a servant, and in front of Mingde's gate, according to the old soldier's instructions, he reached out and stopped a carriage with a green pick.

"Your Majesty invited me. I'm going to the West Market, but I can take your car?" Bai Mobi greeted the driver of the carriage politely.

"That's right, come up, two coins per person, and put them directly in the box." Seeing his attire, the driver of the carriage knew that it was his first time riding a carriage, and introduced with a smile: "Mr. Take care of your monkey, don't let it disturb other guests later."

The monkey the coachman mentioned was the monkey that Bai Mobi raised, and it was squatting on his shoulder at the moment, squeaking and looking around.

This monkey was not raised by him as a pet, but as a "guard" in the caravan to keep watch as a warning.

The Silk Road from Chang'an City to the Western Regions was not all smooth sailing.

In addition to deserts, mountains, grasslands, wilderness... these harsh tests of nature, the biggest enemy of caravans is bandits.
