Chapter 918: Don’t make the difference between middlemen [please ask for monthly tickets]


    No matter how sincere Chen Tang''s eyes look, if Wu Yuan believed her nonsense, there would be a real ghost. Otherwise, what''s wrong with her banning? She has to ban tea? What is the difference between this and the life of Beimo? This time he came, one purpose was to grow grains and the other purpose was to trade with each other, and tea and salt were the top priority.


    It is better not to eat meat during the day than to drink tea for a day.


    Beimo is mostly meat-eating. Eating more often makes you dry and hot, get greasy, and not easily cured. Over time, it is difficult to go to the toilet, and the glutinous pulp is dry and hard as a stone. The defecation area is fragile, and **** stools are common. Drinking more tea can relieve this symptom.


    Of course, vegetables can also be used instead of tea.


    It’s just that in the Beimo environment, vegetables and vegetables are rare.


    On the other hand, tea is cheap and can be preserved for many years.


    In comparison, tea is naturally better.


    It would be fine if you just give me a hard time, and it wouldn''t be able to bear it, but the people of Beimo quickly discovered that not drinking tea for a long time would be even more troublesome, and their muscles were weak and their strength decreased! This is a nightmare for Beimo, which advocates force. A brave warrior can be immune to tea, but ordinary tribes cannot.


    But—


    Chen Tang Ka Beimo''s most ruthless product is salt and tea.


    Food is actually a small problem.


    Grain is different from salt tea. The latter is easy to store and will not easily break even if it runs for long distance transportation. After purchasing it in Beimo, it can be stored for a long time. It will be fine if you stock it up for a few years. The former has obvious disadvantages, and it is not suitable for large-scale purchases, whether for transportation or storage. Not to mention the other side, just the food transporter consumes it on the way, it is worth the profit of a business trip.


    Although the northern desert is not large in population, there is also a huge food shortage. Compared with the gap, the number of smuggling by these merchants is a small matter and will not play much role.


    When the northwest is made into a pot of porridge, there are indeed profit-willed merchants who are obsessed with buying grain nearby, secretly smuggled it to Beimo, and resell it to Beimo merchants at a high price, but the number is not large, and they also have to risk being looted by passing forces during this period.


    After Chen Tang won, these merchants also stopped.


    With Chen Tang''s personality, he naturally wrote down everything, and he would catch it one by one to settle the score one by one when he remembered it. At the moment, I was so busy that I could not settle their heads.


    Wu Yuan would not be surprised that Chen Tang banned grain trading.


    But she moved the tea and salt!


    Wu Yuan endured the swelling blue veins on his forehead and squeezed out a little kindness: "Mr. Kang''s move is inappropriate. As far as Wu knows, there are not many tea drinks in your country, and not all people in the country like it."


    Where does such a large demand for tea come from?


    Not to mention that Yanzhou and Ganzhou have suffered from floods and floods, even if the tea production is reduced by 20%, it cannot be completely digested in the country. In the past few hundred years, the largest trade project between the northwest countries and the northern desert has been tea. Wuyuan remembers that decades ago, there was a small country bordering the Northern Desert. In the more than ten years since the small country existed, tea trade with the Northern Desert was the biggest source of economic output.


    It is better than harsh taxes!


    Even the small country was destroyed because of jealousy from neighboring countries.


    Neighboring countries also wanted to trade tea with Beimo, but the trade route was controlled by small countries. After several negotiations, there was no progress, so they simply started a national war. There are many other examples like this.


    Chen Tang clearly has tea in his hand!


    But tea is banned in the mutual market, which is clearly a joke!


    Chen Tang opened his almond eyes widened and said innocently: "What are the words of the messenger? Who said that I, Kang Guo, don''t like drinking tea?"


    Wu Yuan was so angry that his chest was fluctuating violently.


    Looking at Chen Tang tightly, I wanted to hear what the **** reason she could come up with! Haha, let alone Chen Tang really has it.


    She raised her hand and patted her.


    Several soldiers came in outside the tent with utensils that looked like pen holders, and there were several small plates containing ingredients next to the utensils.


    Gong Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at the pottery utensils on the table.


    Chen Tang smiled and crawled into his ears: "I heard that Beimo is good at drinking tea. I don''t know if there is such tea in the country? I personally like it very much. The messenger might as well try it and comment."


    The tastes of Beimo and Guannei are different.


    The tea served by Chen Tang is indeed unique. Judging from Wu Yuan’s experience in living in the pass for years, it is indeed more in line with the tastes of the common people in the pass, but I don’t know the price. Wu Yuan only tasted it lightly, and Gong Cheng also tasted it carefully. After one sip, his eyes lit up and then he drank it all.


    He was not worried that Chen Tang would poison the tea.


    The other party directly used open conspiracy to trade grains with Beimo, so naturally he would not do such a vicious thing that poisoned people. After Gong Cheng finished drinking one, he asked the sergeant to continue with another one. This time, there was no beef drink, but I savored the taste and watched the fun.


    Chen Tang made a calculation for Wu Yuan with his fingers.


    How many such restaurants in Longwu are there, how many cups of tea are shipped every day, how many cups are needed... And her current territory is not just a Longwu County. The consumption in other places is roughly estimated based on the scale of Longwu County, and then deducting the tea that is fixed every year, the tea harvest in Kangguo this year is indeed tense.


    The most important thing is that Chen Tang also plans to establish diplomacy with his neighboring countries, spread the tea thirst business and set up franchise stores or brands. Of course, Wu Yuan didn''t understand these words. He just needed to know that Chen Tang wanted to make this business bloom everywhere.


    After saying that, she spread her hands.


    Helpless: "See, I really don''t mean to make things difficult for Beimo, but the flood this year has had too much impact."


    Wu Yuan was blocked so much that he couldn''t jump out of a word.


    Chen Tang''s words are reasonable and well-founded. As a national lord, she doesn''t even need to explain them so clearly to herself. But she also explained, which shows that she is full of sincerity. The ban on tea in the mutual market is purely coincidental, rather than a trap deliberately targeting Beimo.


    He thought of a roundabout way.


    "Since the supply of tea in Kangguo is insufficient, why should the merchants from other countries bring tea to trade?" The merchants from Kangguo are not allowed to sell tea to Beimo, are the merchants from other countries the heads? There is no way other countries can also see tea drop sharply!


    Unexpectedly, Chen Tang shook his head with his sincere almond eyes.


    "Emister, this is not possible either."


    Wu Yuan felt that his cultivation was about to be broken.


    He gritted his teeth in secret: "Why not?"


    Chen Tang said naturally: "Bei Mo needs tea, I know this. I have also read a lot of accounts of tea trade in previous years. Why do you have to give such a good business that makes money to other countries? I just said that private merchants were banned, but I didn''t say that Kang Guo was banned from official monarchs. Kang Guo lacked tea, so naturally I sent someone else to buy tea and sell it to you-"


    Wu Yuan: “…”


    Chen Tang smiled and said, "Anyway, the price of Beimo purchasing tea is the same. So who can make the difference in the middle? "


    Gong Cheng was almost choked by the tea that had not been swallowed yet.


    But he is very strong, so he has not lost his composure.


    He knew that politicians were shameless and being shameless was the norm, but he didn''t expect that Chen Tang didn''t even want the fig leaf and directly wrote the three words "death to ask for money" on his face. It is obvious that Beimo is going to be slaughtered when doing business, so who is slaughtered not slaughtered?


    she! want! alone! swallow!


    This money-making business is prohibited from being involved in private business.


    However, Gong Cheng also keenly noticed other unspeakable problems - the tea business can only be reported by the official, so how much tea is available for trading? What quality of tea is Chen Tang’s final say? This is also a big pit.


    He looked at Wu Yuan with a gloomy face from the outside.


    You can see that Wu Yuan, the person involved, naturally would not miss it. As an envoy, he thought more comprehensively. From beginning to end, this is also an open plot.


    Open plot, even though I know it is a plan, I have to take the bait.


    Chen Tang smiled again and said, "Do you have any doubts?"


    Wu Yuan also asked simply: "Wu knows what Lord Kang means. Since it is a win-win situation, you and I will naturally win, and the third one cannot let the third one take advantage. But there is still something uncertain - how much tea can Lord Kang collect from other countries? Can you ensure that the amount of tea is equal to previous years?"


    It is not impossible to make a fuss about the number.


    If you don’t understand these, Beimo will suffer a loss.


    Chen Tang''s reply was all practical: "I don''t know this, I have to send someone out to see the market."


    There is no scene at all, and you will answer whatever you ask or answer.


    Wu Yuan asked again: "Where is the delivery time?"


    "When will you receive it, when will you sell it!" Chen Tang''s answers were more willful than the other, and he was more arrogant and taught Wu Yuan. "Oh, what is the messenger so anxious? He can''t eat hot tofu in an anxious mood! Tea is a daily necessity for Beimo. I know this, and I also know that the tea that merchants resold to Beimo every year is consumed more than a year. In other words, every household has reserved tea, and it will not be able to cut off tea for a while."


    Tea is a strategic material.


    Who wouldn’t hurry up and hoard a batch?


    If Beimo hadn''t taken advantage of the melee of the Dragon Slaying Case in recent years and secretly hoarded tea and other essentials, her name would be written in reverse! Wu Yuan now acted like "If tea is not supplied, tea will be cut off tomorrow." He thought he was fooling around?


    "The messenger can rest assured. I, Chen Youli, stand tall in this life, never harms allies, and cannot do the things you worry about." Chen Tang didn''t have to read the mind and the spirit knew what Wu Yuan wanted to make up for, but his words were all in the Yin and Yang desert.


    Wu Yuan was not embarrassed when he was said to be thinking about the central idea.


    But Chen Tang silently added another note—


    [Bei Demo is an enemy, not an ally. 】


    Hehehe, she is not a lie.


    Seeing that there was no turning point in the tea matter, Wu Yuan could only bear the anger and asked Chen Tang why he wanted to ban salt. There are sufficient and legitimate reasons for banning tea. You can’t reduce salt production due to floods, right?


    Chen Tang blinked and said, "Of course, this is because salt is an official business. I have long prohibited private smuggling by private enterprises. Even if the two places trade together, private merchants cannot sell it."


    This policy has been implemented for several years.


    Only merchants who have obtained business licenses can sell them, and they are still sold on a small scale and cannot leave their business scope.


    Wu Yuan: “…”


    Chen Tang smiled and said, "If the messenger doesn''t believe it, you can inquire through Longwu and other places. It will take more than three years..."


    The necessities that concern the daily life of ordinary people should naturally make the prices stable and the supply sufficient, so that most common people can afford it. Leave it to private merchants? Who knows what situation they will cause, and it is safest for the official to come up with pricing and sales.


    The most important thing is—


    No one can compete with her for business!


    Snatching her business is snatching her money!


    After two riots, Wuyuan''s morale suffered a heavy blow, and he no longer had the interest in pursuing the root cause of other banned goods. Judging from Chen Tang''s two responses, the other party was prepared. If you go up by yourself, you will fall into the trap of the other party.


    Overall, the results of this discussion are quite gratifying.


    Wu Yuan took Qi Juan back to discuss with his subordinates, and then contacted Chen Tang and adjusted after reaching an agreement. It was just some innocuous regulations, and Chen Tang did not make things difficult for the Beimo mission. Or, these are the flaws she deliberately left behind.


    Beimo has been defeated one after another, so people have to find some things.


    If you don’t let go, it’s not good to drive the customer away.


    In Gong Cheng''s view of the confrontation between the two sides, they have their own ulterior motives.


    Wu Yuan looked at the signing of the charity scroll, and felt a little indescribable in his heart and murmured in a low voice: "Oh, if Yun Chi was willing to help, with the help of the Gods Society, maybe..."


    Even if you can''t take a big advantage, you won''t be stuck by Chen Tang. Wu Yuan has lived a more affliction these days than being a proton.


    Gong Cheng said, "This won''t work."


    Although he inherited the token, the person who gave him the token also said that he should not be too deeply involved with the gods unless it is absolutely necessary. Gong Cheng doesn''t know the gods, but he also knows that the organization hidden in the dark for so many years will not be a kind man and a trusted woman...


    The gods will take the initiative to give the Beimo seal to see it.


    This ghost thing is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.


    Who should I support Beimo and compete with?


    Gong Cheng''s gaze fell to the direction of the main account where Chen Tang was.


    Wu Yuan: "Just say it, don''t be so serious."


    He looked embarrassed and was also afraid of Gong Cheng.


    Just because he is afraid, he will not be stupid to push Gong Cheng out. Because he knows better that he is the one who needs Gong Cheng, and has always tried to balance both sides. Even if Gong Cheng was unwilling to do more for him, Wu Yuan would not force him.


    Gong Cheng closed his eyes and continued to guard outside the camp.


    Lin Feng worked overtime and finally created the special grain supply in the Northern Desert that Chen Tang needed, which is to resist drought, cold, frost and insects. The key is to keep the skin strong and easy to feed. Chen Tang squatted on the ridge of the secret test field, curious: "It looks no different from the previous grains. How do you ensure that it will not be passed on to the next generation?"


    Food safety is a difficult problem.


    The grain used by the people in Longwu County is optimized.


    No matter how strict she investigated, she could not prevent the Bei Desert, but not the other countries in the pass. The geographical and climate of Bei Desert was very different from that in the pass. Most of the grains were planted and they would only be unacceptable to the local environment. The neighboring countries in the pass are different, and the climate span is not large. In theory, they can plant high-yield grains that can be stably inherited, but have not been discovered.


    When Chen Tang discovered, the tree was ready.


    Lin Feng pointed to the sky.


    Chen Tang couldn''t understand his intentions and looked up.


    “There is nothing in the sky…”


    Lin Feng stood behind Shen Tang, and also squatted down to look at the test field, saying, "It was Luanhu Cao who reminded that the improvement of grain seeds depends on literary energy, and the dirty air in the world will pollute them and cause them to continue to degrade..."


    They made two guarantees.


    The first level is the natural degradation of grain seeds.


    The first part is the instability of the traits that are artificially enhanced.


    The various grains that Lin Feng has handled are at least iterated from dozens or hundreds to hundreds, and at most hundreds or thousands. With rich experience, Luan Xin can see the various qi of heaven and earth. It was unexpectedly discovered that the previous traits were stable because there were a lot of cultural energy left in the grains.


    By doing the opposite, you can achieve your goal.

    Alas, I received an obituary in the backstage today, and it was really impermanent. A few days ago, Shiitake Mushroom also found severe fatty liver and high blood lipids. No wonder the heart is always uncomfortable this year... Fortunately, blood sugar is normal (there is a genetic inheritance at home)
