Chapter 642

"Brother-in-law, but there are western treasures or exotic stunts." Li Zhi said excitedly, but he knew that Merton never returned empty handed every time he went to the west market.

Merton shook his head and stretched out his hand. Tie an, who had been following behind, hurried in his carriage. He opened the carriage and revealed that it was full of exquisite silk.

Merton laughed and said, "my task today is to spend all the silk!"

"A cart of silk!"

"So much?"

The people were stunned. There was a cart full of silk. It was very valuable!

"Don't use it! If it gets out, it will provoke criticism from the imperial court!" Princess Changle quickly shook her head and said.

"Call me a black sheep!" Merton said angrily.

Princess Changle immediately covered her mouth and smiled. Merton looked white. What reputation did he have? He didn't know? If it is said that Merton spent a whole vehicle of silk in the west market for her, she may be able to make trouble in the court the next day. She doesn't want the whole Chang'an city to know that the Mohists spent a lot of money to make the beauty laugh. The last famous thing has left her with lingering fear.

Merton laughed and said, "don't worry. This time I'm not a loser, but ordered to spend these silks."

"This is the silk produced by the weaving bureau!" Li Chengqian was surprised to see the origin of this batch of silk.

"Weaving bureau!"

Princess Changle had been in the palace for a long time. Naturally, she was no stranger to the silk produced by the weaving Bureau. She was surprised to check it. It was indeed silk with the mark of the weaving Bureau.

"How could you have these silks!" Princess Changle was surprised. It is reasonable to say that these silks are not in circulation in the market.

Merton said proudly, "Dai Shangshu entrusted me to sell the silk of the imperial court to the countries in the western regions. Today, pulling this cart of silk is just to explore the market and try the water first. The real big head is still behind?"

People suddenly! Princess Changle couldn't help showing a trace of excitement. Ask which woman in the world doesn't like to buy! Even the expensive princess is no exception.

"This carpet is good!" Princess Changle instantly changed into the scavenging mode, picked up a Persian carpet and couldn't put it down.

"Good eye, girl. This is the most precious carpet in Persia. Only nobles can enjoy it!"

The Persian Hushang on one side praised Princess Changle's eyes with half cooked Mandarin.

"Buy!" Merton waved his big hand.

"A total of ten Liang silver!" the Persian Hushang couldn't help but rejoice. There are not many such giants!

Merton smiled and said, "we don't have any silver, but I don't know if we can use it to pay the bill!"

Merton stretched out his hand and tiean immediately offered a beautiful silk.

"This is superior silk!" the eyes of Persian Hu merchants suddenly lit up and looked at the exquisite silk in front of them like a treasure. All Hu merchants who have come thousands of miles to Datang have only one purpose, that is, silk. As long as they can successfully transport the silk back, they can immediately obtain 100 times the profits, and there are many bones on the silk road, It is this high profit that constantly attracts wave after wave of Hu merchants to Datang.

Merton smiled. The silk of the weaving bureau is a rare boutique in the world. These Hu merchants will not miss it.

One is happy to see a hunter, the other is generous, and the transaction will be completed soon.

When Princess Changle walked out of the Hu store with the Persian carpet, Li Chengqian couldn't help thinking about the deal.

"Brother Gao Ming, can you see anything!" Merton asked.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "it's reasonable that the price of this silk is not enough to cover the price of Persian carpets. Why is this Persian husbandman willing?"

In the whole trading process, Merton did not force buying and selling, and they did not reveal their identity. However, the unequal price transaction was unexpectedly smooth.

Merton explained: "brother Gaoming only sees the price of carpets in the Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't know that carpets in Persia are like silk. Although they are valuable, they are not unattainable. Rich people are everywhere, and the price of silk is as heavy as gold when it reaches the far western country through the hands of these Hu merchants!"

"Silk and gold are equally heavy!" Li Chengqian couldn't help breathing. Isn't the value of so many silk in the Tang Dynasty.

"Rare things are more expensive. Brother Gaoming only sees the price of silk, but he doesn't see that these Hu merchants can reach the Far West from the Tang Dynasty. This is one of the reasons why silk is so expensive in the Far West!" Merton explained.

"Can we sell the silk directly to the far western countries and earn the price difference?" Li Chengqian said with a palpitation. If so, Datang's benefits are too great for him.

"I believe that one day, this goal can be achieved, but Datang is still inseparable from these Hu merchants. Now what we have to do is to strive for more interests for Datang as much as possible on the silk road." Merton solemnly said.

Li Chengqian was thoughtful, so he seriously watched every deal of Merton.

"This jewelry is very beautiful!" cried Princess Changle.

"Buy!" Merton did not hesitate and sent a silk.

"This is also good!"

"Buy!"

……………………

After a while, Princess Changle gained a lot. Even Jinyang and Li Zhi also picked up a lot of good things. With Merton waving earth like gold in the west market, the whole west market soon became a sensation.

"It's mohou!" many Hu merchants in Chang'an city came to see Merton.

At the western regions grand event last year, Merton waved the earth like gold, but it impressed many Hu merchants. This year's western regions grand event was missed by Merton in Tuyuhun, which made many Hu merchants regret. I didn't expect that Merton came to the western market again and opened the black sheep mode again.

"There are not many good things this year!" Morton looked up at a group of Hu merchants and said with regret.

The first Hu merchant was tiewu, an old friend of Merton. Tiewu said with a ashamed face, "Lord Hou, I believe the books and knowledge you want have spread all over the western regions. However, it is not a year and a half to return from Datang to Dashi and other countries. Lord Hou only needs to wait for a few years, but he will not be disappointed. I will inform the Mohu house as soon as I have news."

Hu Shang, who just arrived in Datang this year, heard that even sheepskin rolls and seeds can be sold at the price of gemstones. His regretful intestines are green. Who would have thought that the value of these humble things is far more than the goods he brought.

Merton nodded. Naturally, he knew it was urgent. The bait had been sprinkled. For today's plan, he had to wait for the fish to bite.

"Since you don't have what Ben Hou wants, take out your best things for the young lady to choose from. Your silk is indispensable," said Merton Lang.

Tieuton got up and shouted, "take out your treasures for the beautiful lady to choose!"

The news about Merton and Princess Changle is not a secret. Hu merchants who have been active in the western regions all year round naturally know that the woman who stays next to Merton can only be princess Changle, but everyone knows it clearly.

After hearing that Merton, a black sheep, came to the west market, the whole west market immediately became a sensation. Suddenly, countless unheard of treasures were left to Changle to choose.

A whole cart of silk disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye in exchange for a cart full of Western treasures. At the same time, Merton had a deeper understanding of the silk road.

"Today's transportation volume of the silk road is still too small!" Merton lamented. Compared with large-scale transactions between later countries, the current silk road relying solely on the transportation of camel teams not only has less transportation volume and long cycle, but is not enough to support large-scale silk transactions.

If Datang wants to resell a large number of silk, it is almost impossible to complete. The task of wearing armor is not so easy to complete.
