The First Family of Tang Dynasty

The severe cold in the north has always been bitter, and the coastal areas in the north are even colder.

But no matter how cold the wind blows or how the waves fly, even people's brows are covered with hoarfrost.

However, nothing could cover the flames in Li Jiao's heart, the treasurer of the Japanese branch of the Han and Tang Commercial Bank.

Breathing heavily, he slowly walked out of the Han and Tang Dynasty commercial houses located in the mountain town of Iwaki.

Under the guidance of the Japanese with a smile on his face, Li Jiao nodded slightly towards the Japanese. "You lead the way."

Surrounded by two guards, he went straight to the largest and largest building.

And those local Japanese with an average height of 1.3 or 4 meters saw these Tang people who were 1.7 or even 1.8 meters tall.

They all shrank into the distance in awe, until after these fat and strong Tang people strode away, they dared to stand against the cold wind and looked at the backs of these giant-like Tang people tremblingly.

In a short time, I came to the mansion where Daban was blowing a negative (really a person's name, not a nonsense).

Seeing the arrival of this distinguished guest invited by his master, the Japanese hurriedly opened the door, with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed to watch the three men strode into the mansion.

Li Jiao saw that, outside the house in front of him, there was a man who was about five feet tall. Well, he was already a lot taller than an ordinary Japanese.

Wearing a gorgeous silk robe, with an eager smile on his face, he greeted the mansion master who saluted him.

"Blowing the negative, I have seen the shopkeeper Li."

Li Jiao hurriedly walked two steps, and returned a salute to the person who spoke to the mountain ****, and said cheerfully.

"Oops... I don't have to be so polite, my brother, please get up quickly."

The big companion happily led Li Jiao into the house, and the two guards also entered the house.

"Today, it was really freezing cold. Fortunately, with the iron stoves from the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was possible to live comfortably in such a cold winter..."

The big companion told Li Jiao to sit next to the iron stove as well. After this thing, even in the Japanese country, no coal has been found yet.

But whether it is burning carbon or wood, this iron stove is hundreds of times stronger than those used in the past, and it is really warm.

Li Jiao warmed his hands happily, and then hooked his hands behind him. The guard behind him presented a wooden box about a foot high and half a foot wide.

"Today, a ship just arrived and brought a glass bottle from the Western Regions. It is a congratulatory gift from the old brother He Dabian who was promoted to the right minister of the Da Ziguan..."

After Li Jiao opened the wooden box, he carefully took out a piece of Western Regions glazed vessel, which was a water-drop-shaped water-blue glazed bottle.

As soon as it appeared, the eyes of the big companion blew up in an instant, the eyes began to turn red, and the expression was full of greed and possession.

"The Western Regions glass bottle, this is simply too beautiful. In our Japanese country, it can be regarded as a national treasure. This, this is actually a gift for my brother..."

"Haha...Bad brother, accept it, this thing represents a part of our Han and Tang Dynasty business."

"If it wasn't for the help of my brother and the help of others, how could the stone see the silver mountain, how could it be excavated?"

After receiving the blow from the big partner, he can't wait to stick out his tongue and lick it twice to express his love.

"If that's the case, then, I'll take the blame on my behalf. Thank you, the big shopkeeper, and the Han and Tang firms for this kindness."

Seeing the greedy appearance of this Japanese tycoon, Li Jiao stroked his thick long beard and laughed.

I like to see these barbarians the most. After receiving these exquisite gifts from the Tang Dynasty, the country bumpkin looks like he has never seen the world.

It gives people a sense of superiority and achievement. This thing is a good treasure of Zhao's Liulifang for the Han and Tang dynasties. Even if it is now in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible without a hundred years of history.

But once it is taken outside of the Tang Dynasty, um, it can really be regarded as a treasure of the country by these small barbarian countries, or even worshipped.

The big companion in front of him is a big family in the area of ​​Shanyin, the Japanese country.

However, it is generally referred to as the Great Companion, and his eldest brother, the Great Companion, Changde, is now considered a quite powerful minister in Japan.

The Han and Tang Commercial Bank received instructions from Cheng Sanlang, Chairman of the Han and Tang Commercial Bank, to find Jinshan and Yinshan in this Japanese country.

This is a headache for countless middle-level cadres at the shopkeeper level, because Cheng Sanlang only drew a rough area.

For example, there is Jinshan on Sado Island on the west side of the northern end of the main island of Japan, and Jinshan is in the area of ​​Sanyin Ishimi.

All of them only give a general direction, which is very painful.

But fortunately, after the Han and Tang firms mastered the white grain business, they were seduced by such luxury goods that made the Japanese island, the Japanese king, and even the aristocrats crazy about it.

The Han and Tang Dynasties established bilateral trade with several aristocratic families.

That is to say, a few wealthy families are designated as sellers, and the white sugar of the Han and Tang Firms is only sold to them, and each of them is responsible for an area.

One of the conditions is to assign Sado Island to the Han and Tang firms free of charge, as the private territory of the Han and Tang firms in the Japanese state, which is convenient for the trade and berthing of the Han and Tang firms.

On Sado Island, there were no people at all, they were all a bunch of poor Japanese ghosts, not even a wealthy family.

Yuezhou Shou generously signed a letter of confirmation with the Han and Tang firms, even in order for the Han and Tang firms to give him more than a few hundred kilograms of sugar for the first time.

Not only did all the Haozhou in Yuezhou also sign the certificate of power confirmation, but also stamped with the official seal of Yuezhou Shou.

However, Yinshan has no choice. After all, this is on the island of the Japanese country, but it is not afraid of it, under the offensive of Baitang.

The noble family of the mountain, Lian Shi, nodded and agreed to help find the silver mine. After finding the silver mine, the profit was divided between four and six.

It took less than two years, and at a considerable price, Lian finally discovered a huge silver mine on Mount Zama, not far from Iwami Castle.

Every tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand yuan Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is a regular price, but in fact, one thousand yuan Kaiyuan Tongbao can be exchanged for five to six taels of silver in the Japanese country.

In addition, one tael of gold in the Japanese country can be exchanged for five taels of silver…

That is to say, the Han and Tang Dynasties commercial banks can exchange one thousand taels of gold, or five taels of silver, on the Japanese island with a thousand liters of Tang money.

In the Tang Dynasty, one thousand yuan could only be exchanged for one tael of silver.

Especially when the scale of the silver mine in Mount Nazomo was outrageous, if it weren't for Li Jiao's brains, he demanded that only 500,000 taels be mined every year.

I am afraid that just the silver transported back to Datang from the Japanese country will cause the price of silver in Datang to plummet.

Now, it's just secretly flowing out, and it just so happens that after the Great Tang Emperor took action, these gold and silver are even more useful.

When gold and silver are cast into the exquisite money making of the Tang Dynasty, their currency value is even more than that of gold and silver.
