Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine The Bureau of Conspiracy
Giving away a shop for free would cost hundreds of guan, but this shop given to a Tibetan businessman is the best corner shop in the area. It usually costs more than 1,000 guan to buy it. If someone raises the price at the auction, it will cost 2,000 guan.
It's not a problem to follow the above.
Two thousand strings were given away like this, and what followed was even more distressing.
Li Sima felt that his heart was a little twitching. The fat man's heart and blood pressure had never been normal and he could not withstand severe stimulation.
Gu Qing handed over the management of the market to him, and he regarded everything in the market as his mission. For Gu Qing, it was political achievement, and for Li Sima, it could also benefit from political achievements, so the market
Nowadays, in Li Sima's eyes, it is simply sacred and inviolable, and he really cannot tolerate the shop giving it away for free.
"Master Hou, what are you thinking about? Can you give me a hint? I am worried that I may have misunderstood Master Hou and done the wrong thing, but I will never redeem myself." Li Sima said with a bitter face.
.
Gu Qing said calmly: "I want these three... well, these three Tibetan businessmen to make a fortune in Qiuci."
Li Sima tried his best to open his small mung bean eyes and blurted out: "Why? You are so beautiful that they are so beautiful!"
Gu Qing glanced at him lightly, and Li Sima hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said, "I made a mistake, Lord Marquis, and I will forgive you."
In the corner shop, a Tibetan businessman brought a dozen camels loaded with various medicinal materials. The businessman was instructing his workers to move the bamboo baskets containing medicinal materials into the shop.
Gu Qing pointed to the basket of medicinal materials from the Tibetan merchants and said, "Have you noticed the medicinal materials they sell? Li Sima, I will give you a task. Later, people from the Anxi Army will come to buy medicinal materials from the Tibetan people. You are responsible for communicating with the Anxi Army."
People are vying for this batch of medicinal materials, driving up the price."
Li Sima was surprised and said: "Those worms and rotten grass... uh, yes, I will take care of it immediately."
Gu Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, you still have to cooperate with me in acting a play. There must be competition and ups and downs in the plot."
Li Sima looked at him confused.
Gu Qing turned to Han Jie behind him and said, "Wang Gui..."
He stopped as soon as he started speaking. Wang Gui is currently in bed recuperating from his injuries. This time the injury is more serious and he may not be able to get off the ground for a while.
Sighing, Gu Qing suddenly felt that there was a shortage of talents around him, the kind of talented people with vision and intelligence.
The only one, Wang Gui, almost lost half his life last time, and then Gu Qing felt that there was no one left under his command. The remaining generals were all a group of killers. They could go into battle and charge, but their acting skills were much inferior to those who played tricks.
After thinking about it, Gu Qing said to Han Jie again: "Go and call Li Siye."
The garrison camp was not far from the city, and Li Siye came quickly and saluted respectfully.
Gu Qing pointed to the Tibetan shop in front and said: "The army needs to purchase a batch of medicinal materials. The Tibetan people's gentian, rhodiola, and Tianshan snow lotus can all be used as medicine. Go tell those Tubo people about their medicinal materials."
Our Anxi Army wants them all, there is no need to bargain, we can get as much as they say we want."
Li Siye looked puzzled.
He is a rough man who only knows how to practice Mo Dao. How can he do any business? I can't figure out why the Marquis called him to do this job.
Gu Qing smiled and said: "This is a military order, don't think about the reason, just execute it."
Li Siye accepted the order with clasped fists and walked into the shop with his head held high.
Seeing Li Siye entering the shop, Gu Qing turned to Li Sima and said with a smile: "Follow me in. Your task is to fight for this batch of medicinal materials in the name of the Jiedushi government. The Tibetan merchants bid, so you raise the price. Li Siye is a rough man."
When a person gets angry, he will also raise the price. After the price is raised to three times what the Tibetan merchants bid, you will immediately stop bidding and give the medicinal materials to Li Siye."
Li Sima's brain was buzzing due to some sexy moves, but he roughly understood what Gu Qing said, which was what Gu Qing said just now, allowing these three Tibetan hozens to make a fortune in Kucha City.
"I understand, I will fulfill my mission." Li Sima saluted and walked towards the shop.
Seeing Li Sima rolling towards the shop like a bowling ball, Gu Qing stood in the distance and laughed.
An unprecedented plot to seek a country unfolded quietly.
…………
In the shop, three Tibetan businessmen watched dumbfoundedly as an official and a general in front of them competed for their medicinal materials. Not only did the two raise prices for each other, but they also insulted each other. Anyone with a glance could tell that the general was swearing.
He was at a disadvantage, but the handle of the knife he was holding on to with his right hand was about to move, and the chubby, fat official was still scolding him recklessly.
The scene was so exciting that the Tibetan businessmen couldn't help but feel anxious for the fat man who didn't know how to live or die.
"Li Sima, you were present when the Marquis gave me the military order just now. This is the Marquis's order. Do you dare to disobey the order?" Li Siye said with a gloomy expression.
Li Sima sneered: "The official position of the Marquis is Deputy Envoy of Anxi Jiedu. As early as two months ago, the Jiedu Envoy Office issued a document to purchase a batch of medicinal materials and send them to the garrison camps of Yutian and Yanqi towns. This batch
The medicinal materials arrived just in time. If I missed it this time, I don’t know when I will be able to buy them next time. General Li, please don’t make it difficult for me."
Li Siye breathed heavily, stared at the Tibetan merchant with red eyes, and said coldly: "I will increase the price by 50%! Pack the medicinal materials immediately and send them to the camp outside the city."
Not to be outdone, Li Sima said: "I will pay double the amount and send it to the Jiedu Envoy's Office immediately."
The Tibetan businessman was overwhelmed by this unexpected surprise, and the greed and smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Look at the general who is about to kill someone, and then look at the fat man next to him, what a sweet trouble.
"Li Sima, are you trying to bully me?" Li Siye couldn't help but want to take action.
Li Sima sneered: "If you dare to kill officials indiscriminately, General Li, you try it!"
Li Siye didn't dare to take action. In the final analysis, it was just a trivial matter and did not lead to murder.
Turning his head angrily, Li Siye glared at the Tibetan merchant and said sternly: "I will pay three times! If anyone dares to raise the price again, I will chop him alive!"
The Tibetan businessman looked at the fat man expectantly, hoping that he would not be afraid of power or violence and bravely push the price to a new peak again.
However, the fat man's reaction disappointed them. Perhaps he was really afraid of the knife in Li Siye's hand. The fat man rolled his sleeves angrily and said: "Today I will give General Li a face. Next time if there are medicinal materials from the Tibetan people, I hope that
General Li, please stop fighting with me."
Li Siye snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily the case. As long as the Marquis gives the order, you will have to grab it."
Li Sima lost the fight and looked unwilling. He was too lazy to talk to Li Siye. Instead, he stared at the three Tibetan businessmen and said coldly: "When will you come to Kucha next time? How many medicinal materials do you plan to bring?"
The Tibetan businessmen were shocked by this big surprise and still didn't recover. They hurriedly smiled and said: "As soon as possible, we will definitely do it as soon as possible."
Li Sima said: "That's all, I'll go see if there are any other Tibetan merchants in Kucha City..."
After speaking, Li Sima turned around and left. As he walked, he dropped a sentence seemingly unintentionally: "The war is over, there are many wounded in the army, and we are in urgent need of medicinal materials..."
After saying these words, Li Sima left.
Li Siye asked the Tibetan merchants to send the medicinal materials to the camp outside the city, and asked them to pay the bills to the military officials before leaving.
The three Tibetan businessmen stood stupidly in the store, still trying to digest everything just now.
After a long time, a Tibetan businessman tugged at Lazawang and said nonchalantly: "Did you hear that clearly? The Tang army is in urgent need of medicinal materials. The medicinal materials we did not expect at first sold for three times the price, three times!"
Razawang rubbed his hands with joy on his face and sighed: "Our bid was low just now, too low! If I had known this..."
"Brother Razawang, what should we do now? We just arrived in Kucha yesterday, and today the medicinal materials have been sold out. This is something we can't even imagine."
Razawang's eyes flashed and he said: "Immediately purchase some gold and silver utensils, porcelain and silk that the powerful and powerful Tibetan people like, and then leave Kucha to return to Tibet. Time does not wait for us. Hurry up and collect more medicinal materials and send them to Kucha. We must be fast, and we will travel day and night."
Make a fortune!”
Stomping his feet, Razawang said regretfully: "We should have thought of it earlier. The Tang Army and Tubo had just gone through a big battle. There were tens of thousands of people on both sides. After the battle, how many wounded soldiers would need medicinal materials? We should have thought of it earlier.
!”
Under Razawang's urging, the Tibetan merchants and their fellows quickly left the shops and shuttled between various markets. They were busy purchasing gold and silver utensils, porcelain and silk to return to Tubo, taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army was in urgent need of medicinal materials before the news spread.
, take this opportunity to make a fortune.
…………
Inside the Anxi Army Camp.
Gu Qing covered his nose and frowned at the mountain of medicinal materials in front of him.
The medicinal materials gave off a strange smell, which was not like medicinal materials. Instead, it was a bit like the body odor emitted by people like Razawang who had not bathed for a year. It was very unpleasant.
"This... is the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus? Tsk!" Gu Qing picked up a wilting white and black leaf with two fingers, a look of disgust on his face.
According to legend, a slice of the sacred martial arts treasure that can increase one's martial arts power by a kilogram, why does it look like a rotten cabbage in the ground?
Han Jie seemed to be unable to bear the smell. He covered his nose and stood far away, and said with a loud sound: "Master Hou, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is nothing unusual. It can be used as medicine. It is hot in nature. It is mainly used to treat irregular menstruation and cold palace in women."
Dysmenorrhea, oh, by the way, it can also be used to improve skin and whiten your skin. I met a doctor when I was in Chang'an and heard what he said."
Gu Qing was stunned.
As a modern person, he is still very unfamiliar with the medicinal properties of Chinese medicinal materials. In his previous life, he had taken Chinese medicine to regulate the body, but he knew nothing about the effects of various medicinal materials.
So, the holy treasure of martial arts that can increase one's martial arts power can only cure women's irregular menstruation, cold uterus, and beauty problems?
…Why isn’t it called Wuji Baifeng Wan?
"This pile of tattered medicinal materials was sold for a hundred dollars?" Gu Qing felt a little distressed, squatting in front of the pile of medicinal materials and sighed.
It is not easy to run a household, and he is about to become the lord of Anxi. Gu Qing has to pay attention to money, and he is really unwilling to spend a hundred dollars to buy these things.
Han Jie reminded: "The price of one hundred guan has been increased three times. Originally, they were only worth a few dozen guan. The Tibetan merchants did not expect the medicinal materials to make money. They just brought them over from Tubo to test whether there were any in Kucha."
