Molested Zulong at the beginning

At this moment, she finally understood why Bai Su insisted on doing business and using it to support farmers.

Compared with the annual fixed tax of Nongsangna, compared with the money earned from this trade, it is not at the same level at all.

As long as the policy of heavy taxation for business and light taxation for agriculture and mulberry is maintained for a long time, it is absolutely possible to reduce the burden on the people of the world while increasing the taxation of the court.

This is simply making money standing up.

She recalled back then that her mother, because the imperial treasury was empty, could only force the people of the six countries to build the Great Wall and drive the road, which aroused people's resentment.

But now, since Baisu entered Xianyang, farming and mulberry are the mainstay, and trade is the supplement...

Not only did Xianyang's treasury become more and more full, but the grain output of the common people also increased every year instead of falling. This kind of talent in governing the country simply made her admire it.

Hu Tan looked at Bai Su with bewildered eyes: "You are too powerful."

Bai Su rubbed his chin and said, "This is just the beginning. First, harvest the rich merchants and dignitaries in Guanzhong. After a while, you can transport porcelain to the outside of the Great Wall, the grasslands, the Western Regions, and all over the world."

"Let it become like silk, as a hard currency for trade. At that time, this blue and white porcelain will be no different from gold, silver, soft and other money. No matter where you are or where you go, it will be worth thousands of gold."

"And the Central Plains controls the world and the only technology for making money. When you talk about it, what will it be like?"

Chapter 170 Liu Ji's Temptation

Hu Yan said pleasantly: "If that's the case, a decision made by Xianyang is enough to affect the rise and fall of a small country outside the pass."

Bai Su said with a smile on his face, "It's more than that, if you use it well, it's better than a hundred thousand soldiers."

After all, the people on the expedition of thousands of miles eat horse chews, and consume a lot of food, grass and supplies. If they can't get it in a short time, the pressure on logistics will be too great.

Through trade and commerce, not only can the wealth of other countries flow into the Central Plains continuously, weaken the national power of neighboring countries, strengthen Xianyang, but also prepare for future military mobilization.

If you don't move, you will destroy the country in one war.

There is nothing wrong with launching a war abroad, but it is a mistake if the war cannot be stopped for a while and bloodletting continues.

As long as the war lasts for a short period of time, even if wars are frequently launched abroad, the burden on the Central Plains will be very small.

Don't you see, the later generations of the Tang Dynasty continued to wage wars with foreign countries, but the more they fought, the more prosperous they became.

And the big Han launched wars abroad, and the emperor's treasury became poorer and poorer, this is the reason.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Liu Ji opened the door and walked in.

She looked at Bai Su with big peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile on her hands, "My lord... the first batch of blue and white porcelain that I fired has been sold out."

Bai Su pondered for a moment, then asked, "How about the income?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji's sexy vermilion lips curled up slightly: "I made a full 500 million guan, which can be said to be a fortune."

"Five...500 million, my God."

Hu Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

Although she had predicted that the income this time might not be bottomed out, she never expected that it would be so ridiculously high.

You know, the cost of building this huge trading place is only a million dollars. Bai Su earned back five trading places in just one night.

What surprised her even more was that the blue and white porcelain cost almost nothing, as long as the materials were sufficient, it could be mass-produced, wouldn't it be a huge profit.

Bai Su saw what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "The reason why the price is so high this time is because it is a rare item, and no one has seen it before, so it is expensive..."

"After the quantity gradually increases in the future, the price will naturally drop soon."

But Hu Yan said with a smile: "Even if it doesn't reach the current huge profits, it's still a sure-fire deal."

Bai Su did not refute.

After all, this porcelain has the property of hard currency. Whether it is a farmer in the Central Plains or a herdsman on the grassland, they need utensils to eat, and this porcelain is much easier to use than clay pots and copper ware.

The demand is here, no matter how low the price is, it is impossible to go low.

Liu Ji looked at Bai Su and asked, "My lord, what should we do next?"

Bai Su stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "The first batch of blue and white porcelain is less than a few hundred. Naturally, it is impossible to satisfy so many wealthy merchants and nobles in Guanzhong. The current purpose is just to make a name for yourself."

"After today's warm-up, the rich merchants in Guanzhong will become more eager for blue and white porcelain. I believe they will take the initiative to send money soon, hoping to buy blue and white porcelain."

"At that time, not only can we sell the blue and white porcelain to them, but we can also cooperate with some caravans and allow them to take the blue and white porcelain to sell outside the customs. As for the profit, we can share it forty to sixty percent."

Liu Ji frowned: "Why is it only [-]%?"

Bai Su laughed a little and said, "Sixty percent is for them, we only need forty percent."

Liu Ji frowned and said, "Isn't this a little too cheap for them?"

Hu Yan on the side also nodded.

After all, anyone can see that this blue and white porcelain is a treasure. As long as you buy it and pull it outside the customs, and sell it, you can make a lot of money.

Giving up so many benefits really made her feel a little distressed.

Bai Su glanced at them helplessly: "You guys, don't think that doing business is so easy. Trade with outside customs requires traveling thousands of miles. There are ferocious animals on the road, banditry, natural disasters, and civil strife in the country. If you don't pay attention, you may be ruined on the road. "

"They take such a huge risk, and they have to transport and sell, but we don't have to do anything, just supply, and we can get [-]% of it, which is actually very profitable."

"Besides... the world is so big, and there are so many countries in the Western Regions. If we only manage it with the imperial court, we simply don't have enough manpower. Just being able to supply the Central Plains and the Monan Grassland is the limit."

"Let these merchants follow the corridor of the Western Regions to go to more distant countries in the Western Regions, open up markets for us, and let more Western Regions caravans come to the Central Plains to buy porcelain and silk."

"Countless foreign countries have come to Xianyang to worship. This is the real benefit for us."

"After all, the prestige and influence of a country can't be measured simply by some money."

"As for those businessmen, it's okay to let them earn a little money now. Anyway, no matter how much money they earn, they don't all stay in the Central Plains. As long as the money stays in the Central Plains, I have a way to make them hand it over willingly."

Liu Ji was quick-witted, and his eyes lit up immediately, as if he understood something.

Although Hu Yan couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but seeing that they both nodded, she always felt that if she didn't understand, she would be a bit out of the group.

So she also pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Bai Su was in a good mood, Liu Ji rolled his eyes involuntarily.

She suggested: "My lord, it's going so smoothly this time, why don't we have some wine to celebrate?"

"Alright..."

Bai Su did not refuse either, after all today is indeed worth celebrating.

Soon, the maid came in with drinks.

Hu Yan took a sip, and immediately stuck out his tongue, tears welling up in his eyes.

Bai Su's eyelids trembled twice, looked at the liquor in the cup, and gave her a strange look: "How much alcohol did you take?"

Liu Ji poked his vermilion lips with his slender fingers, and blinked his eyes: "I saw 60 written on it, and I usually drink a few cups when I'm free, and sleep all morning, which is very comfortable."

The corners of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he called out in his heart, good guy, this thing that can be burned on fire, you just did it, you really have a good drinker.

Could it be that the bigger the mind, the better the drinking capacity?

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Why, are you afraid, young master?"

Bai Su smiled: "It happens that there is nothing to do today, so let's have a good time."

He picked up the wine cup and touched Liu Ji, after eating some leeks, he could drink some.

Hu Yan was also very dissatisfied, but his drinking capacity was very limited, and after only a while, he fell asleep lying on his side.

In the private room, only Bai Su and Liu Ji were left, they were chatting and laughing, the night gradually darkened unknowingly.

Bai Su was already a little drunk and was in a trance while holding his cheek.

Liu Ji's voice came from beside him: "Master, it's so hot, I'm sweating all over."

Hearing this, Bai Su turned around and saw Liu Ji beside him.

She wore a long black and red dress today, with high slits, revealing her fair and round thighs. At this time, she was kneeling and separated, her beautiful face looked very gorgeous.

While pulling on her collar, revealing a deep chasm, she waved her hand to fan the wind. Crystal beads of sweat slid down her fair neck, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

Bai Su's throat gradually became dry.

Chapter 170 Two Crying in the Dream

Liu Ji seemed to notice Bai Su's gaze, and couldn't help but pause in the movements of his hands.

She raised her head slowly, and looked at Bai Su with big peach eyes, seeing Bai Su staring straight at her, not only did she not have the slightest fear in her heart, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Young master, can you help me get a handkerchief?"

"handkerchief?"

Bai Su seemed to be a little drunk at this time, his expression froze for a moment, and his reaction was obviously half a beat slow.

"It's a bit hot, look, I'm sweating all over." Liu Ji gently waved his hand to fan the wind.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on her fair and beautiful face, running across her fair neck and attractive collarbone, her clothes were almost soaked in sweat, highlighting her proud curves.

And in the direction of her finger, there are several white cloth handkerchiefs.

Bai Su didn't think too much, picked up a handkerchief and handed it over.

"Thank you sir..."

Liu Jiying smiled and stretched out his hand.

I saw that she didn't take the cloth handkerchief, but took Bai Su's hand personally, and slid it over her cheeks, delicate nose, and red lips.

Bai Su couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "Then... that, is there something wrong?"

Liu Ji blinked his big peach blossom eyes suspiciously, and pretended to be drunk: "Is there something wrong, am I wiping with a handkerchief?"

Since you want to wipe, why do you hold my hand to wipe the sweat.

Before Bai Su could speak, his voice stopped abruptly.

I saw Liu Ji holding his hand, all the way along the white neck, collarbone, slowly down...

Gradually, without her taking the initiative to speak, Bai Su had already wiped the sweat off her body. The two of them were very close to each other, and their hot breath, with the smell of alcohol, sprayed on Liu Ji's pretty face. .

Liu Ji's cheeks were originally slightly flushed from drinking, but now she smelled masculinity and felt that fiery big hand, and her big peach blossom eyes had mist, like a bend of clear lake water.

Her vermilion lips were slightly parted, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

Bai Su felt that his lips were a bit dry, so he licked his lips subconsciously, and said, "I always feel that I haven't wiped them clean, and I need to wipe them well. Do you... really like me?"

Feeling the spout of breath, Liu Ji's sensitive skin felt itchy inexplicably, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on it.

When she heard this question, she couldn't help turning her head to the side, and opened her big peach eyes to look at Bai Su.

With her snow-white teeth, she lightly bit her vermilion lips, and said in a lazy voice, but it was extremely firm: "Since I met you that day, I have fallen in love with you a long time ago, if... I can have a good relationship with you , let me do whatever I want.”

Hearing this answer, even the half-drunk Bai Su had a smile on his face.

After letting go of the last trace of scruples in his heart, his hands continued to walk on Liu Ji's body, seeing the vermilion lips of the beauty in his arms who were constantly panting, he directly kissed them.

Liu Ji froze for a moment, his long and slender fingers stretched like an electric shock, and after a long time, they slowly went limp, his hands grabbed the clothes on Bai Su's back, and gradually responded.

After a long time, the two slowly separated.

Bai Su looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, gently stroking her black and soft hair, while Liu Ji's body was trembling slightly, breathing heavily.

Unexpectedly, that Liu Ji, who is normally breezy and street rogue, is so beautiful.

Bai Su approached her ear slowly, and said in a low voice: "You have done a good job with the blue and white porcelain affairs. I plan to entrust you with the affairs of the Inkware Supervisor in the future."

"As the saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by the fountain. I don't know how to repay the kindness of the young master."

Liu Ji opened his eyes full of mist and looked at Bai Su, that cute look made Bai Su's heart beat faster.

Bai Su felt his throat a little dry, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's very simple, just like what you said, the fountain will repay you."

Hearing this, Liu Ji was stunned, not knowing what Bai Su meant.

But soon, after seeing Bai Su's actions, she immediately reacted and understood what Bai Su meant.

Liu Ji's pupils suddenly shrank.

This is... No way, how can you do such a thing, it will be broken and you will die.

She couldn't help thinking of when she was drinking with Xiao He, when she saw the tablecloth covered with "bloodstains", she suddenly became terrified, and said quickly: "Then...that son, I was wrong, I shouldn't be so rude , please forgive me, I won’t dare again.”

Liu Ji looked at Bai Su whose eyes were slightly red and his expression obviously changed, and suddenly became a little scared.
