Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 608

In fact, Wang Hou didn't know exactly how much the caravan made this trip, but Wang Dada's small goals for later generations must have been completed at least two or three times!This time the Liaodong caravan went west, it was really stuck at the best point. You must know that after the Chang'an Rebellion, the Silk Road was cut off for a full ten years, like the last caravan trapped in Yumen Pass. Moreover, in ten years, Wusun and other Western Region countries' thirst for silk, tea and other Chinese goods has reached its peak.

Under such circumstances, a Han Chinese caravan of 2000 people crossed the Xianbei grassland and desert, and arrived at Chigu City with a full load of boxes. For Wusun, whose productivity was low, it was like quenching his thirst. It took a few days to carry it over. The Chinese goods were sold out.

This time, Liaodong represents the first time that the Han Empire has completed international trade. On the one hand, Wang Hou, who searched and searched, simply brought all the goods this time, and did not bring gold and other precious currencies to the caravan. On the other hand, , During the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, as long as the goods imported into the Han Empire were there?Cotton from Arabia, cotton cloth, pepper from Kushan, frankincense, myrrh, coral agate, pearls what!
But now, pepper has been imitated by Wang Hou. Although this southern dried spice is too difficult to grow in places like the north, the yield is not much, and it even needs to be cultivated in a fire well greenhouse!
but!Even if coal is burned to increase the temperature, it needs a special person to cultivate it quietly. With the addition of various expenses, the local pepper is cheaper than the pepper transported from thousands of miles!Even now, boiled pork slices are added with pepper in high-end restaurants in Guihua City, so this bulk import is naturally avoided!
one more!cotton!

Good guy, this is the first time that the cotton merchants from Persia sat on the ground and cried loudly after seeing the Han merchants!Cotton cloth is among the commodities in Guihua City. The grain weaving in the territory is more exquisite than the cotton cloth of the Western Regions, but the price is more than half cheaper than the cotton cloth of the Western Regions.
!

On the other hand, the goods brought by Wang Shuang this time are really hot ones, bone china!It is not enough to sell domestically!As soon as several boxes of porcelain, which were as white as jade and painted with several catties of artistic bacteria, were displayed, they were immediately snatched up by the dignitaries of Wusun.

There is also tea, this kind of emerald green product does not need to be advertised by Han merchants at all, it has already become a trend in the Western Regions!Before they were addicted to coffee, the Arabs loved tea a long time ago, and the Persians who have greasy food still love tea. There is also Guishuang, and the Ceylon tea produced by the third brother in the later generations even robbed the tea country. In many markets in China, the popularity of tea can be seen.

And this time, Wang Hou followed the tea-drinking habits of later generations of Westerners, selling almost all fermented black tea and tea bricks similar to later generations of Pu-erh tea.

Just like selling insurance in the later generations, that’s not called insurance, that’s called selling the concept of risk. This time, Wang Hou is selling the concept of drinking tea, which is rich black tea, boiled with milk powder and sugar, and then used bone china teapot and tea set Blooming, that kind of English afternoon tea, three or five friends chatting while drinking tea and eating cakes, this kind of tall flicker, so that the thousands of boxes of Wu imported tea he brought are sold for even a tea stalk There are none left.

Several kinds of commodities brought back more than 5000 taels of gold for Wang Hou, and even an antique, the Western Han golden horse that Emperor Wu of the Han used to buy Dawan horses!Seeing the opening of the several boxes in front, the golden precious metals inside, regardless of the noble families of Hu Han, all eyes are shining with dazzling golden light!
But buy and sell!Of course, you have to sell it. It took four to five thousand miles to reach Wusun. It is still necessary to maximize the benefits. Although cotton cloth and pepper are no longer popular, the horses from the Western Regions, the jade from Wusun, and the frankincense from Guishuang, Myrrh, cinnamon, cloves, etc. are still in short supply in the Han Empire,
Especially the spices!
With the severance of trade with the Western Regions, to what extent is the Central Plains short of incense?
Even Cao Cao has an allusion.

Just a while ago, Mr. Cao's precious saddle was bitten by bugs!Wang Houqian, who was in charge of the warehouse, was frowning, fearing that Mr. Cao would kill himself with a dream-killing sword.

As a result, Cao Chong, one of Wang Hou's brother-in-laws, found out, and asked the official not to report, and then pricked a hole in his clothes, and complained to Mr. Cao with a sad face, because his clothes were bitten by insects!

This Cao Cao comforted him for a long time, and comforted his favorite little son, and the little official came in again, apologizing for the saddle being bitten by bugs, thinking that his son's clothes could be bitten by bugs, and the saddle was bitten by bugs. Bite, Cao Cao took it for granted, and didn't blame him. He told him to be careful after a few words, and let the little official go!

From here we can see how lacking the spices in the Central Plains are!As long as there is mothballs, Cao Cao's beloved saddle and Cao Chong's clothes will not be damaged by insects!

Although they don't use much, these prairie patriarchs are also knowledgeable. Behind the gold, there are all kinds of fragrances, but they look very weird, like lumps of rats and insects. The spices of the insects are carried up in boxes. The golden light in his eyes almost turned into green light, and then rhino horn, elephant tusk, and tiger skin, it's really a fortune!The eyes of the chiefs of the tribes changed from golden light to green light, and even the chief of Xianbei sighed in his heart, why didn't Wang Hou send more people when he was important? Now the points are less!

Everyone stared with bated breath. In the silence where Shan Yugong could hear the needle drop, Wang Hou watched the last treasure chest being carried up. Finally, Wang Hou stood up as everyone expected, coughed lightly, and immediately became very excited. The later generations of Apple's press conference started talking in such a forceful way.

"Thanks to the sincere cooperation of my colleagues in Liaodong and the elders of Xianbei, the westward caravan has achieved remarkable results. All the goods sold and purchased are here! After a while, they will be divided according to the ledger. These golden treasures will be distributed to everyone on the spot! "

"General wise!"

Regardless of whether it is a Hu or a Han, if they have money to take, they are not stingy with flattery. They all stood up excitedly, shouting and shouting excitedly, and even Ke Bineng himself showed a smirk on his face. With a strong smile, according to the ratio of Wang Hou looking for him before, he can get as much as [-]% of these treasures!
But Wang Hou's next sentence made the corners of his mouth uncontrollably stiff, full of overflowing, Wang Hou continued to hum happily as if he hadn't noticed him.

"In view of the huge profits from this golden trade route, this seat has decided to open another import and export trading company in the open space to the west of the milk powder factory! Specialize in this Western Region trade route! If you are interested, you can join in as a shareholder. To the trading company! Let's get rich together and create a win-win situation!"

Another miscalculation!This is different from the real estate that Wang Hou gave out for free in Guihua City before. Xianbei people have never lived in Han people's houses, let alone live there!But right now, this is real gold and silver, even the backward nomadic tribes know that gold is valuable!Looking around, the excitement and greed in the pupils of the patriarchs of the twelve clans who participated in the dividend distribution almost flowed out!
But once they join this import and export trading company, will these tribal chiefs still obey what they say?

Inadvertently, Wang Hou dug a big spoon out of his own rights, and Ke Bineng's face was so gloomy that he was about to freeze for a moment!
However, after all, he is also a grassland hero, and he is very different from those reckless men who can cut people with knives. At this time, singing the opposite tune will undoubtedly push these tribes into Wang Hou's hands, so for a moment of gloom, Ke Bineng turned out to be Laughing and standing up, Wang Hou, who was smiling and splitting the money, unexpectedly also fisted heavily.

"General Cheng is the pearl bestowed upon us by the Immortals! Please allow me to be the first to join this import and export trading company!"

It's another hypocritical political show. Anyway, it's impossible to stop it, so it's better to show favor!Sure enough, the greedy tribal chiefs were still worried, but seeing Ke Bineng join in first, this worry was dispelled immediately, and the grassland tribe chiefs with big beards and straight guts once again stroked their chests with their right fists Bow and praise.

"Big leader! Wise!"
