Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

"That's why we have to hide it from him. Let's talk about it when we can't hide it."

After calming down the mood of the family, Du Shaoqing returned to the medical clinic to concentrate on practicing medicine, as if he was a doctor who didn't care about worldly affairs.

Wu Zhao controlled the Du's Chamber of Commerce by himself, purchased wool and made wool felt. As for the difficulty in manufacturing and the problem of sales, it was not a problem in the Du's Chamber of Commerce. Du Shaoqing had someone invent a machine for making wool felt, which replaced labor and cost a little. to the lowest point.

At the same time, construction is under way in the Northeast, where every household needs a kang. Although wool felt cannot be used as a quilt, it is good to spread on the kang as a mat. Layering more layers is a hundred times better than straw, so it is very popular in the Northeast.

When a thing happens every day without change, everyone will get used to it and no longer feel surprised, so there is no eternal topic. No one will be surprised anymore when the hot discussion in Chang'an City about the Du's Chamber of Commerce's collection of wool lasted for more than three months.

On the contrary, interested people have discovered that the Du family's felt mat business is on the right track, and even more and more prosperous.

In this way, a group of people began to envy the business methods of Du's Chamber of Commerce, and they could do any business well.

Western Turks knew about this situation through their eyeliner, so of course they were not happy. What they wanted was for the Du Family Chamber of Commerce to give them a steady stream of money, not to help the Du Family Chamber of Commerce make money.

So they proposed to increase the price, and Du Shaoqing agreed to the condition very awkwardly. The purchase price of wool was doubled, and the wool of a sheep cost two yuan.

And the wool felt sold to the Northeast region does not increase the price, and it is obvious to tell the West Turks that I am doing business at a loss, and the West Turks are happy.

It is to let Du's Chamber of Commerce absorb Datang's blood to nourish itself, so that each other will grow, and it will soon surpass Datang.

All of these are actually illusions created by the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. Du Shaoqing's real killer is actually the new city north of Chang'an, which was built by the Tang Dynasty after the East Turks were occupied.

It was originally used to manage the tribes of the grassland, but later accepted Du Shaoqing's proposal and implemented a step-by-step method of building a city to completely control the northern grassland.

However, after the Du Family Chamber of Commerce settled in the new city, it carried out trade on a large scale, which solved the great living problems of the people in the northern grasslands.

This city is a little west, so the wool purchased from Western Turks will be transported directly to the northern border grasslands to the new city.

It seems to outsiders that the wool was burned or transported to Chang'an in large quantities, but in fact, it was all defective and low-quality wool, and it was not simple wool that was transported away.

In the new city, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has established a huge and strictly confidential wool processing industry chain, which allows the wool to be processed into a soft wool thread that can be spun, and then transported back to Chang'an for secondary finishing, and finally to be made into woolen fabrics. clothes.

And all of this can't be found by the Western Turks, because the city of Xincheng is completely under the control of the imperial court. No one liked it when the city was built before, and now it only manages some firewood, rice, oil, salt and cloth for the grassland people. Small, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce directly monopolizes the whole city.

It was precisely because of these favorable conditions that Du Shaoqing was able to plot against the Western Turks openly. This was a conspiracy, but unfortunately the other party only saw the benefits and did not see the crisis.

Chapter 648 Getting Deeper and Deeper (Two in One)

In the royal court of the West Turks, several tribal leaders scuffled together. The Khan of the West Turks was furious and ordered his guards to pull them away. Afterwards, no one would stick him for [-]. After asking about the reason, he found out that it was to fight for the priority of wool sales.

There are countless sheep in West Turks, and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is not buying unlimited quantities. It is impossible to eat all the wool in West Turks at once. Currently, it can only eat [-]% of the wool in the entire West Turks grassland.

This is a problem. Only [-]% of the tribes can sell wool to make money, and the other [-]% of the tribes can’t sell it in line. Watching others eat meat, they can’t even drink soup. It’s strange if they don’t fight.

After finding out the reason, the counselors of the Western Turkic Khan suggested that they put forward conditions to the Du Family Chamber of Commerce and force Du Shaoqing to increase the purchase of wool. The rain and dew must be covered evenly so that every herdsman on the grassland can earn money.

In the Du's Chamber of Commerce, Du Shaoqing received negotiating businessmen from Western Turks.

"What? Increase the purchase of wool? No, absolutely not! Do you know what you are doing?" Du Shaoqing roared angrily.

The Western Turk businessman said proudly: "Of course, we just brought more business to Consort Du.

Just to remind you, this is my king's intention, which is to inform rather than discuss.

If you and I want to cooperate, we must ensure that you eat all the wool of our Western Turks, otherwise we will not be able to guarantee the safety of the hostages. "

"impossible!

Even if I have the handle in your hands, it is impossible to agree to you.

Don’t think that you can make these exorbitant demands to me again and again because you have hostages in your hands. The last time I asked for a price increase, I just doubled the price and gave you money. At that time, someone impeached me in the court.

It's good now, I can't fill my desires, let me eat all your wool alone, what's the use of me wanting so much useless wool?Not to mention our Emperor, even a fool would know that I am supporting the enemy.

At that time, you don't need to threaten me, the Tang court will take me down and punish me first. "

Seeing Du Shaoqing's refusal, that person also came prepared, and retorted: "I'm afraid that's not the case.

You are the most honorable and powerful son-in-law in the Tang Dynasty, and no one in the court dares to offend you.

And as far as we know, you bought the wool to start the wool felt business, and the sales were very prosperous. We all know that you made money, but you just cried poorly to us.

In the words of you Tang people, you are really a businessman. "

Du Shaoqing argued: "When we cooperated, we agreed to find a reason that both parties can accept to deliver benefits to you.

Does it have to be that I don't give you tens of millions of money for nothing every year, so that you can be satisfied with this kind of cooperation?

My Du's Chamber of Commerce has to survive. According to your thinking, even if my Du's Chamber of Commerce is a golden mountain, it will be killed by you in three years. "

"We didn't want to fight to the death, we just asked you to increase the purchase volume.

Besides, didn’t you earn money with wool, it’s mutual benefit.”

Du Shaoqing interrupted and said: "There is no mutual benefit, I am losing money in the wool felt business, and the processing fee and the cost of wool are [-]% higher than the selling price. This kind of business is not big.

If it weren't for the safety of my third uncle and aunt, I would have offered to reduce the amount of purchases. "

What? ? ?Less acquisitions?Absolutely not!

The Western Turkic envoy became excited, "I just conveyed the meaning of my king. You can decide whether you want to do it or not. I will give you three days to think about it. I will come back to hear your reply after three days."

After speaking, he turned and hurried away.

Looking at the back of the other party, Du Shaoqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that the envoy sent by the Western Turks this time is really useless and has no brains. Don't you know that I, Du Shaoqing, is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty?Never lose at the negotiating table.

The reason why there is a gap between the envoys of the Western Turks before and after is that it is the first time that someone from the Tang Dynasty gave advice behind the scenes, and this time the action is entirely on the initiative of the Western Turks in order to make more money, so the counselors sent seem a little insufficient .

Seeing that the negotiation was over, Wu Zhao walked in and asked about the specific situation.

"Husband really doesn't plan to increase the purchase volume? What if they get mad and dare to hurt the third uncle and third aunt?" Wu Zhao said worriedly.

"Probably not. That person is a stick. He said he gave me three days to think about it, but in fact he gave him three days to ask for instructions from above. How dare such a thing be sent to negotiate with me? I'm sure he will kill him dead.

As for the purchase of wool, you can consider increasing the purchase volume, but you must not accept all of them. It is impossible to agree to them so readily. "

Three days later, the envoy of the Western Turkic merchants came again. Du Shaoqing relented and agreed to increase the purchase volume by [-]% reluctantly.

The Western Turkic envoy immediately agreed, and it seemed that they were instructed by the higher authorities not to persecute them too harshly.

As for whether [-]% of the wool purchase can meet the needs of the grassland, you have to go back to the royal court to find out. For the time being, this is the only way to go. Everyone has tasted the sweetness of cooperating with the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, and no one wants to kill this only Chicken that lays golden eggs.

Facts have proved that the [-]% increase in the purchase volume is immediate. The Western Turkic Khan decided to sell wool half and half in turn, and the situation in the grassland has stabilized.

But this is not right, the grassland is in chaos, if it is not in chaos, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Du Shaoqing was as stable as Mount Tai, and said confidently: "As long as the money is in place, there is no world that cannot be disturbed."
