Chapter 1034: Zhaowu 9 Surname

"Go and call Kang Guangde!" On the way back, Shen Long thought about what he had to deal with after returning, and then not only had to settle in Yizhou, Tingzhou and other places, but also many other things to be busy.
"Shou Zhuo, your name is small?" After a while, Kang Guangde ran over fartly, slightly behind Shen Long by a horse's head and nodded.
"Guangde, should you be Sogdian? How did you go to the desert of Gobi?" Shen Long asked, guessing based on Kang Guangde's appearance, style and surname, Sogd is still Zhaowu in Chinese history. Nine surnames, they established Kang, Shi, Ang, Mi, Cao, He and other small countries in the Western Regions.
Among them, Kang is the largest suzerain country, and its surname is An, Kang as the main body, including Cao, An, Shi, Kang, Shi, Luo, Bai, Mi, He, etc. The historical books record An Lushan, Shi Siming, Kang Jinde, Cao Lingzhong , Cao Yena, He Fudiyan, Mi Fu and others; Shen Long saw that Kang Guangde's appearance was exactly the same as that of the Sogdians, plus that he had the surname Kang, so he had this guess.
"Shoucao Mingjian, the small one is indeed a Sogdian, the small ancestor was originally from the Kang Kingdom, had followed the battle of the Tang Dynasty, and then began to trade; unfortunately, to the generation of the small father, the road to Datang was cut off by the Tubo As a result, his family declined, and he had to flee to the desert of Gobi. "Speaking of the past, Kang Guangde was also quite lonely.
"It turns out so." Shen Long nodded, Shi Zai Kang Guo Lite "good merchants, good profits, her husband goes to the country in the 20th year, and the benefits are all there", tirelessly, from east to west along the Silk Road, formed by it With many Lit settlements, their prosperity is closely related to the prosperity of the Silk Road. Once the Silk Road is cut off, the Sogs will have a hard time.
"Guangde, I don't know if you would like to resume your old business and do business for me in Tang Dynasty?" After Tuntian, Juliucheng had many products for trading, such as chili peppers, iron pans, etc. These things let Datang Zimin do some things Dangerous, and now we have to continue to work in the fields. When it was time to lack people, Shen Long was temporarily reluctant to let the Datang people do these things, so he thought of Sogdians who were good at commercial activities. It seemed appropriate for Kang Guangde to do these things.
"Shouhuo, small ... small still want to continue fighting for my Datang!" Kang Guangde was anxious as soon as he heard it. He finally went through three fights and did not die. Seeing that he has become a candidate for Han Navy, he will then After working for Datang for a few years, he would have the hope to become a real Datang man. How could he be willing to do business?
Shen Long understood his concerns after a moment of thought, so he was relieved and said, "Businessmen also work for my Datang, and I will not treat the heroes badly. If you do well, you might be better than those who entered Hanhai. The army became the people of the Tang Dynasty earlier! "
"Dare to ask what Duhu intends to do with the small one?" Kang Guangde immediately came to the spirit as soon as he heard that it would not affect himself to become a Tang Tangzimin, and quickly asked.
"You've seen it in the army these days, and now you are catching the iron in Tuntianye, Liuliucheng, growing chili peppers, and creating such a light iron pot, I think there must be many people wanting these things in the Western Regions. ? "Shen Long first took out these two commodities. As for food or something, he was unwilling to sell it. In the future, he would inevitably have to fight. There is not enough food.
"Shou Zhuo said that, whether it is cooked with beef, mutton and chicken, chili is really enjoyable to eat, sweating all the time, if in winter, you can eat a little bit of every meal, that is really comfortable; and now everyone in the Western Regions Most of the iron pans used are cumbersome and far inferior to those of my Datang; if Shoucao is willing to sell these two things, then he can definitely make a fortune! "Kang Guangde inherited the talents of the Sogdians and immediately understood the trade The profit contained in it.
"Chili is suitable for those places where winter is cold, and iron pots are more suitable for those grazing tribes. They are definitely willing to spend a lot of money to buy." He also thought to whom to sell these things.
"You can go to select reliable ministries from the clan, form a caravan, and run this business for me Datang; remember, not only do you have to make money, but also get help to redeem the people of Datang who are living outside. "Now that the Tang Dynasty people are scattered all over the Western Regions, it is too slow to rely on one city after another to fight for liberation.
And now Shen Long will stay in Tingzhou for some time. At least until next year, Datang is unlikely to move in the Western Regions. For such a long time, I do n’t know how many people of Tang Dynasty will be tortured to death. Shen Long I couldn't bear to see this, so he thought of letting Kang Guangde redeem people.
The business model of the Sogdians on the Silk Road is to transport silk from Datang to the Western Region, and then transport jewelry and jade from the Western Region to Datang, and the slave trade is also their business scope.
Moreover, the Sogdians are good at enlisting certain political forces and obtaining certain political status, which is conducive to the development of commercial activities. For example, the Sogdian Maniyak had represented Turk, entrusted Persia and East Rome, and the Western Wei Jiuquan Juan Nuopantuo had entrusted Turk. The famous Sogdian merchants in the Tang Dynasty, Kang Yandian, Shi Wannian, Kangfu delay, He Fudiyan, etc. With the title of a city owner, Cao Lingzhong paid his respects to Beiting Daduhu, Kang senses worshiped Liangzhou Tsushishi, and Kang Jinde was the Anxi metropolitan protector Guo Yi. There are many examples.
In order to be able to do business ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Sogdians are also relatively flexible in religion. Buddhism, Buddhism, and Manichaeism all have their followers, so they are very convenient to deal with small countries and tribes in the Western Region. Let them go out. Redeeming Datang Zimin is much easier than Shen Long sending Datang Caravan to go.
The Datang people's redemption of the Datang people may cause others to be vigilant, and the Sogdians are engaged in this trade. It is common for them to find help from their peers everywhere. Special people will also participate in this trade, and the efficiency of rescuing the people of the Tang Dynasty is much higher.
"Ben Shou Zhuo will give rewards according to the number of Red Tang people you redeem. When the number reaches a certain level, I will officially give you the identity of the people who have contributed to the caravan." For Shen Long This is definitely a greater help for Datang than they are fighting on the battlefield.
"Small leaders, small ones can do this well!" Kang Guangde nodded again and again, since it does not affect himself to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, then there is absolutely no problem, and to be honest, the horses and sheep in the sea of ​​Pu class Although life is better than in the desert Gobi, he prefers this kind of business activity. After all, the Sogdians are a business nation.
"By the way, guarding, small businessmen must not forget to investigate the military situation in various places." Kang Guangde will make a difference.
