Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 13 Starting a new action in the Tang Dynasty world

Datang World.

Ancient Chang'an City.

Li's house in Xing'anfang.

"Transportation across worlds ended."

Li Huaian returned to his home in Datang World and didn't stay much. He quickly put down what he was holding, opened the study door, and headed to the stables.

I stayed in the main world for four days.

Calculated based on the seven times time difference between the timeline of the main world and the Tang Dynasty world.

Four days in the main world.

28 days have undoubtedly passed in the Tang Dynasty world, almost a month.

and so.

As soon as Li Huaian returned to the Tang Dynasty world, he remembered that there was only one living creature in his house, the horse that he tied in the stable before returning to the main world.

Although when I left, I put a lot of fodder and water in the stable.

I don’t know, it’s been so long.

Is there any fodder in the stable?

Has the fodder been eaten?

Is the horse still alive?

I just don’t know if horses can be like camels, able to survive without eating for a long time without having to eat at one meal.

With such worries.

Come to the stables.

When Li Huaian saw that the horse in the stable was still standing, not lying down, and there was some fodder around, his worries instantly relaxed.

Slowly walked to the stable, reached out and touched the horse's neck, feeling the horse's intimacy.

"You horse, it's hard for you to follow me. You feel a little bit guilty."

Talking.

He grabbed a handful of fodder from the few remaining fodder, put it near the horse's mouth, and waited for the horse to stretch its mouth to eat.

"Pfft."

The horse saw the horse feed in Li Huaian's hand, sneezed, and lowered his head to eat the feed.

Li Huaian looked at the black-maned horse that he bought for 30 taels of silver. He patted the horse's body and combed the black mane, which was like grooming the horse.

This horse is not a precious breed, nor does it have a pure bloodline. It is just an ordinary horse used to pull things.

Otherwise, the price would not be so cheap when buying it.

but.

Even if the horse is a rogue, worthless and has no value, it still has a special meaning to him.

This horse was the only witness to his life in Chang'an City, the world of the Tang Dynasty.

From the bottom of my heart.

Li Huaian still didn't want the horse to die suddenly.

Especially, starving to death on his account.

"If your horse follows me, it will at least die without any illness and without any shortage of food."

Spent some more time with the horse outside the stable.

Filled the manger with some water.

As for supplementing horse feed.

I have to wait for a while to finish other things before going out to buy something.

28 days have passed in the Tang Dynasty world.

The entire Li residence has not been taken care of for 28 days.

A lot of dust fell inside and outside the house.

Li Huaian needs to deal with all this alone.

at first.

Li Huaian did it quite vigorously.

After all, it is his own mansion and his home in the Tang Dynasty world.

until.

After cleaning up for an hour.

Li Huaian began to feel that it was no good if the house was too big. It was too troublesome and tiring to clean it up alone.

It is worse than a rental house in the main world. It is a house of more than 50 square meters. It is so simple and easy to clean up. If you move quickly, you can clean it up quickly.

just now.

An hour has passed.

Just cleaned up the study room.

"No, it's time to add more people to this house. If I manage such a big yard by myself, people will die."

"Adding more people will also make the yard more popular. Someone can feed the horses from time to time, and they won't starve to death when he's away."

Li Huaian threw down the rag in his hand and gave up. He planned to spend the night in the study room tonight.

For the rest, wait until tomorrow.

the next day.

early morning.

Li Huaian fed the horse in the stable with fodder, and after the horse was done eating, he led the horse out.

We still went to the West Market to have breakfast and watch Orchid dancing.

Subsequently.

Li Huaian took the horse and ran to Dongshi again.

I found the largest pawn shop in Dongshi and went in.

Just as thought.

I came to the pawn shop just to pledge my glass products for money again.

Because he is almost out of money in the Tang Dynasty world.

When he first entered Chang'an City, he had almost spent the thousand copper coins pledged with the glass bead, and there was not much left.

Before going out this morning, I checked and found that there were only more than 200 taels.

this money.

Regarding Li Huaian's next move and what he wanted to do, it would not have the slightest effect. More than 200 taels of silver would be a small splash at most.

Therefore, we can only go to the pawn shop again and pledge another sum of money with glass products.

Of course.

Li Huaian could actually buy some gold and silver and bring it to the Tang Dynasty world as start-up capital when he was in the main world.

this way.

Have thought about it.

The reason why I didn't do this was because it wasn't cost-effective.

In the main world, 1 taels of silver is equivalent to 50 grams. One gram of silver costs five yuan, which means it will cost 250 million yuan to purchase. If you purchase 10 taels of silver, the funds will be 500 million.

Li Huaian only has a deposit of more than 7000 million.

There is no need to waste money like this.

Things that can be done with cheap glass products in the Tang Dynasty world.

unless stupid.

Only then will they spend a large amount of money to buy silver in the main world and use it as funds for development in the Tang Dynasty world.

Buying gold in the main world instead would be an even more stupid decision.

The price of gold in the main world can be said to be a hundred times that of silver.

For the price of one tael of gold, you can buy 100 taels of silver in the main world.

And the Tang Dynasty world.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

In general.

Whether it is bringing silver or gold from the main world to the Tang world, it is not a cost-effective decision.

It is better to exchange glass products directly for funds in the Tang Dynasty world.

This is also the reason why Li Huaian came to Dongshi.

It was the first time I pledged glass beads in the West City. To be cautious, I chose to find a pawn shop in the East City to pledge the glass products.

Even the font size of the pianpu is chosen differently.

"Guest, please tell me this is a pledge." The clerk at the pawn shop saw that Li Huaian was holding a silk parcel in his arms and wanted to step forward to help.

"I'm here to make a big pledge. Let's see how much I can pledge for this thing."

Li Huaian carefully placed a silk parcel on the counter, waiting for the pawn shop to inspect the goods for him.

In exchange for large sums of money.

The glass product that was brought to the pawnshop as a pledge this time was no longer a glass bead, but a thirty centimeter-high glass landscape ornament.

Next process.

Li Huaian is already very familiar with it.

finally.

After an appraisal by this pawn shop, the glass landscape ornament that Li Huaian brought was pledged for 15 yuan, or 15 taels of silver.

so much money.

He exchanged them for 1 taels of gold, 4 taels of silver, and [-] taels of copper coins, and brought them back.

a few days later.

The East Market in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty is about 1000 meters long from north to south and almost 1000 meters wide from east to west. The entire East Market covers an area of ​​100 million square meters, which is one square kilometer in size.

The entire market is located near the center of the East Market.

Li Huaian spent a huge sum of [-] yuan to buy a large two-story shop in Dongshi at a price higher than the market price.

The reason why it costs so much.

It's entirely because this shop is operating normally.

If you don't spend a high price, you can't buy it with money.

You must know that a merchant who can do business in the East Market can still have such a big shop. Which one is not a brand that has strength, capital, and prosperous business.

Especially the location is so good.

This two-story shop has a street frontage of 80 meters wide and a depth of 50 meters, totaling [-] square meters. It has just over six acres of land. When converted into acres used for calculation in the Tang Dynasty, it is almost equivalent to an area of ​​seven and a half acres.

A shop with such a large area can be ranked at the forefront among the shops in the entire Dongshi.

Inside the shop.

As the middleman, the dental shop clerk took out two sales contracts for the shop that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the table in front of Li Huaian and the seller of the shop.

"Two gentlemen, these are two sales contracts for the shop."

"You two gentlemen can take a look at the sales contract in front of you to see if there are any problems with the contract. If Zhang Langjun has no objection to the price offered by Li Langjun, you two can sign the contract."

"The guarantor of the contract, Ya Xing had already signed it when the contract was issued, and we are just waiting for the two gentlemen to make up their mind."

After saying that, the dental shop clerk reached out and gestured to the pen and ink pad on the table, indicating that the two of them could sign the sales contract at any time.

As for the sales contracts of the two shops on the table, there is actually no need to read them.

Because the contents of the sales contracts of these two shops are actually already familiar to the merchants doing business in Chang'an City.

The entire sales contract is a model, which is a model sales contract issued by the government in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Yahang then transcribed the model, and because of fear of omissions, Yahang directly engraved the contract. When you want to use it, just put the paper and print it.

There are many such contract engravings in Yaxing, and they are all engravings based on different contracts issued by the government.

after all.

Yahang involves many types of business, including not only the sale of houses, but also the leasing of houses, as well as the sale of hired workers, servants and slaves.

If every transaction is made, a contract must be written by hand.

Not just a waste of time.

You will also need to pay a margin to the person who wrote the deed.

Sometimes, you may write it wrong.

in the end.

It is better to use engraving plates. When encountering any kind of business, just take out the corresponding contract engraving plates and print them.

Ready to use, ready to print.

"I have no objection to the price given by Li Langjun."

The owner of the shop, Zhang Langjun, took the lead in picking up the brush, dipped it in ink, signed his name on the sales contract in front of him, and put his fingerprint on it.

The seller has no objections.

Li Huaian, who was eager to buy the shop, had no objections.

Seeing that Zhang Langjun across the street has signed.

He also picked up the brush and started signing and stamping.

Later, the two exchanged the sales contracts they signed, and signed their names and pledges on the other contract.

Do this.

Li Huaian truly owned this two-story shop.

paid.

Get the title deed to the shop.

outside the shop.

Zhang Langjun took one last look at the shop that once belonged to him, looked at Li Huaian curiously, and asked, "Li Langjun, now that this shop is in your hands, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

Li Huaian nodded and said, "Please tell me."

The shop is in hand.

Now he doesn't mind satisfying the other person's curiosity.

As for whether to say it or not, it all depends on his mood.

"In the past few days, I have always had a question in my mind. What kind of business does Li Langjun want to do? It can actually make Li Langjun spend almost twice the price to buy my shop."

"I, Mr. Zhang, don't know what kind of business there is in Chang'an City."

"Does Mr. Li want to sell spices from overseas?"

"black pepper?"

Speaking of it.

Zhang Langjun denied himself again.

"That's not right. All these spices from overseas are in the hands of Hu merchants and Persian merchants. It is impossible for these merchants to tell the Tang Dynasty about the origin of the spices."

"This is their foundation in the Tang Dynasty."

"Even if we kill them and rob their wives and children, these Hu merchants and Persian merchants will not leak any information about spices."

then.

Zhang Langjun confessed to Li Huaian: "Out of curiosity about Li Langjun, I have asked people to search for him in the past few days, but they didn't have any clues."

"But I have thought about it for a long time. Only spices from overseas can guarantee that the shop Li Langjun bought at this price will not lose money."

"Does Li Langjun have channels to purchase spices in large quantities?"

Zhang Langjun was willing to sell the shop to Li Huaian, not only because the other party gave him a price he could not refuse, but also because after so many days of research, he felt that Li Huaian who wanted to buy his shop must know where to buy it. Ability to obtain large amounts of spices.

otherwise.

Who would buy a shop at twice the market price?

Buy a shop at this price.

He wouldn't be able to understand if he was just doing ordinary business.

Regarding Zhang Langjun’s doubts.

Unfortunately.

Li Huaian didn't want to answer the other party's questions immediately.

"Zhang Langjun is overly worried. I am not in the spice business, and I don't have a large supply of spices. As for what kind of business I want to do, Zhang Langjun can wait for a while, and then I will know. "

What is said is half true and half false.

because.

Li Huaian is actually very interested in spices and has the ability to purchase large quantities.

However, he can't do it now. The system's private warehouse is only ten cubic meters and can't hold many spices. It's a bit too troublesome to bring spices from the main world to the Tang Dynasty for sale.

If you find a way to get spices directly from the Tang Dynasty world.

It is nothing more than finding the location of overseas spice islands.

There is no need to ask the Hu merchants and Persian merchants who came to Chang'an City about these matters.

Just go back to the main world to check the information and make a relevant map.

Li Huaian can get all the information on Spice Island.

Why can you do it but not do it?

It was entirely because he was still a lonely tree in the Tang Dynasty world. He had no power, no power, and no big ship to go to sea.

Nothing at all.

He was still very weak and could not hold on to the spice business, which was a huge wealth for the Tang Dynasty.

For humans, spices are not just a commodity that can be bought and sold, but also a history, a history of spice wars throughout human history.

(The ratio of silver to gold during the Tang Dynasty is not accurate. For convenience, I took a common exchange value. Actually, because of the problem of silver production during the Tang Dynasty, gold could not be exchanged for silver sometimes. It’s two silver dollars, so I hope the big guys can understand.)
