I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan expressionlessly, not knowing what was so simple about this thing.

If you really want to go deeper, this can basically be regarded as a collision of customs between the two nations, and there is also a desire for both sides to focus on themselves, which is different from the conditions discussed before.

The resources of iron and salt are in the hands of the big man, and the Xiongnu can accept the request made by the big man as long as it is not too excessive, or even if it is too much.

But the form of the mutual market is different, this must be negotiated, and maybe the Huns are too suffocated in the front, so they want to find trouble in this regard.

Liu Tan leaned on the table and said, "In this way, it can be divided into two areas, the Huns' sales area and our Han people's sales area, wouldn't it be enough?"

Huo Guang:? ? ? ?

Seeing him puzzled, Liu Tan explained: "The Huns sell things in their own area, they can use whatever method they like, open-air tents are fine, whatever they want, we Han people also sell things on our own territory, we build our own cities, We have to follow our rules on our turf, and we can also follow their rules on their turf, what do you think?"

Huo Guang: I don't think so.

He also didn't expect Liu Tan to give him such an idea. It sounds good, but it will be a matter of time before such a conflict arises.

When the Han people went to the territory of the Xiongnu to buy things, they had to beware of them killing people and stealing goods. Similarly, when the Huns went to the territory of the Han people, they also had to beware of this. Can this mutual market still be opened?

Huo Guang said: "Your Highness is not afraid of another war?"

Liu Tan thought about it for a while before saying: "Then just send the guards. I've thought it through. It's time to let my elite of thousands of people go over to take turns and open an escort agency. If you feel unsafe, you are worried that you will be killed by the Huns." If people kill people and steal goods, then hire people to protect them, professional army, trustworthy!"

Huo Guang stared at him blankly and asked, "Has Your Highness thought about this problem before?"

Liu Tan shook his head: "No, I just thought of it."

Huo Guang: Then you are really talented.

In a short period of time, you have found another way to make money.

Huo Guang couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the caravans are not all profiteers, and you are... almost the same."

Don't grab the wool of this flock of sheep, will you?

Liu Tan pondered seriously and said, "We recommend ordinary merchants to buy and sell in their own territory. Big merchants generally have backgrounds. This is our goal."

Huo Guang: Who gave you us!

He took a deep breath and felt that he seemed to be getting irritable recently, which was not a good sign.

"Your Highness!"

Liu Tan spread his hands: "What other good solution do you think? Otherwise, what should you do if they make trouble for you over there? Even if they agree to our request to build the city, can they come and make trouble for you during the process of building the city?" what to do?"

Huo Guang paused, and took a deep look at Liu Tan: "Your Highness really... understands."

Liu Tanyi raised his head: "I have never thought about the Huns with the worst mentality."

Huo Guang asked, "But is this really possible?"

He felt a little ridiculous, why did he seem to be persuaded by Liu Tan?

Liu Tan smiled: "Actually, it can be done. If you think about it, doing business with the Huns is precarious. Our people don't want to go there, but the Huns really need other materials such as salt and cloth, so they can only come. We are here, and our place is clean and tidy, and the law and order are good, where do you think ordinary Huns would prefer to do business?"

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you mean that the Huns will also come to us in the future?"

Liu Tan spread his hands: "Isn't this obvious? The Huns are also human beings, and the madness of Wushilu does not mean that all the Huns are crazy. When these people enter our city, they will automatically fall under our jurisdiction. Arguing with the Xiongnu on management issues."

Huo Guang laughed after hearing this: "Your Highness is really clever."

Liu Tan said: "So, go ahead and let Jiang Chong say so. If the Huns don't agree this time, he can find fault."

Huo Guang was silent for a while and said, "Your Highness, there is one more question."

Liu Tan said, "What's the problem?"

Huo Guang asked, "Where does the money for building the city come from?"

Liu Tan pondered for a while: "Sell the land."

Huo Guang has basically been able to keep up with his train of thought: "Same as Wangdu?"

Liu Tan shook his head: "No, it's not the same. The situation over there is complicated and changing. You must not sell property rights. There are only a few people who will buy them, so sell them according to the previous rules, but don't sell them all. Keep some of them. To earn money from the Huns."

Huo Guang asked, "Then what if it's still not enough?"

Liu Tan said, "How about I buy some?"

Huo Guang was very straightforward: "Okay! How much does Your Highness want to buy?"

Liu Tan looked shocked: "It's so fun, you've been eyeing my money for a long time, haven't you?"

Huo Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness's treasury has already run out of money, and a new treasury is about to be built recently, so I might as well spend some money for you."

Liu Tan was indignant: "You can't see how much money I have."

Even though he said that, he still had to buy what he had to buy. Among other things, he could sell Broken Evil Gold.

Honeycomb coal needs to be popularized in Dahan, and it can be supplied to the grassland in a small amount. Anyway, we can talk about it under the condition that our own people can use it.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan suddenly said, "Speaking of which, why is there no news from Qi and Changyi? Did they find the coal mine?"

Isn't the whole big man counting on Liu Tan to make trouble in this coal mine?

Huo Guang said: "This minister knows something about it. It is said that His Royal Highnesses King Qi and King Changyi sent many people to search for coal mines. At first they searched for purple-red rocks, but they failed to find them. Later, they simply sent people to dig where they might appear. So far...haven't found it yet."

"What?" Liu Tan said incredulously: "I told you all the places, but I couldn't find it? Can they do it?"

Huo Guang was also very emotional, the luck of these two people was also dead, their Highness almost pointed out where the coal mine was, but they couldn't find it.

Qi State and Changyi State are indeed not small, but no matter how big they are, they are not as big as the northern border states.

Liu Tan said helplessly: "Forget it, turn around... I'll think about it again."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but soon he realized that His Royal Highness might be thinking about where there might be coal mines.

He looked at Liu Tan meaningfully, and sure enough his highness knew a lot.

Huo Guang took away a method that was not a good one, and Liu Tan shifted his focus to the Escort. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good method.

In this way, the elite group can get close to the Huns and get to know the Huns better. It is also a kind of exercise, and it can give them money!

Even with Liu Tan's finances, he can still afford to pay when there are few people in the short term, but he may not be able to support it when there are more people. This can be regarded as a channel.

He directly called Wei Deng over and told him. Wei Deng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, but he still said: "If this is the case, then we will adjust the training order for them. The Huns carry knives and bows and arrows with them when they go in and out. , must be careful."

Liu Tan frowned. Bows and arrows are lethal things. If the other party is not allowed to bring them, the other party may not be willing to listen. The only thing he can ask is that the Xiongnu who entered the Han territory cannot be brought, but his elites must protect people. The territory of the Huns, so adequate protection must be done.

The previous armor suits can be equipped, but in terms of weapons, the bow and arrow with the sight is too bulky and inconvenient.

So……

Liu Tan pondered for a long while and finally made a final slap on the book table—in this way, only bows and crossbows can solve the problem!
