Chang'an City, Changsun's family, Changsun Wuji is listening to his subordinates reporting Luo Zhang's movements.

"You said Yanlailou is buying up highland barley on a large scale?" Changsun Wuji frowned and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, Yanlailou is going on a buying spree. Nowadays, as long as you have highland barley, you can exchange it for a big price at Yanlailou. The price is twenty times the original price of highland barley. Many people are looking for highland barley crazily. Many people have hidden barley in their homes.

All the highland barley was sent to Yan Lai Tower in exchange for an astonishing reward!" said his subordinate Xu.

"Is this the thing?" Changsun Wuji looked at the highland barley in the bowl in front of him and was even more puzzled. This thing is just a piece of grain, and it is still grain that no one eats. What can this thing be used for?

"Yes, this is highland barley. It is said that Yanlailou is launching a highland barley wine made from this stuff. Many adults in the court are full of praise for this wine, which also makes many people want to take a sneak peek!"

Said in detail.

"What about the wine? You didn't get it?" Changsun Wuji looked at his subordinates and asked.

"Yan Lailou only gave this wine to some ministers of the court, and I couldn't get it... I am incompetent, please forgive me!" The subordinate bowed and apologized.

"Okay, I don't blame you for this. Send me an order to secretly purchase highland barley. If Yanlailou offers twenty times the price, we will offer thirty times. Compared with the rich, my eldest son, the Sun family, has never been afraid of anyone. That Luo

Zhang Xiaoer wants to make highland barley wine, but I will let him harvest no grain of barley and see how he makes highland barley wine!" Changsun Wuji said coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

This scene not only happened in Changsun's family. After receiving the news, the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben reacted surprisingly similarly to Changsun Wuji. They both ordered their families to buy highland barley and raise the price very high.

There is only one thing, that is, Yan Lailou will not receive a grain of highland barley.

In addition to the Yan Lide brothers, even the Wu brothers are also secretly purchasing highland barley, and many big families are also following suit. They have no grudge against Luo Zhang, but their purpose is to make money. Yan Lailou wants to brew highland barley.

The news of wine has long been spread, and highland barley is indispensable as its raw material.

If there is no highland barley, Yanlailou will not be able to brew highland barley wine. At that time, Yanlailou will have to spend more money to buy highland barley from them, and they will naturally make a lot of money from it. Everyone has this idea.

, which caused the price of highland barley in the entire Chang'an City to rise.

In the end, the price of highland barley was fifty times its original price, which was already an astonishing sky-high price.

However, even if you pay fifty times the price, you can't buy highland barley. Who eats this stuff, let alone pays attention to it, so the demand is very small. If the demand is small, the goods will not be available.

There were so many, so the highland barley in Chang'an City basically disappeared without much acquisition.

Of course, this cannot stop people who want to make money. Many people from big families have never even heard of highland barley. It was not until this time that they knew that highland barley is a kind of food produced in Tubo. For a time, people from these big families

They all went to the Tubo people in Chang'an City and promised to buy them at a high price.

The Tubo people who were originally stimulated by Luo Zhang's purchase of highland barley were even more furious this time. The highland barley was so valuable that Lu Dongzan didn't tell them. Instead, he wanted to monopolize it and went to Tubo to purchase it himself. This was simply too selfish.

!

One by one, the Tibetan high priests and the Tibetan people installed by the big landlords in Chang'an City had nowhere to sit. They left Chang'an in person and headed towards Tubo. They wanted to report this matter to their masters as soon as possible.

They think that the sooner they bring the highland barley to Chang'an, the sooner they can make a lot of money!

In the Yan Lai Building, Luo Zhang stood at the window on the highest floor, holding a glass of 1982 Lafite red wine and looking out the window, listening to Li Yifu behind him reporting the movements of Chang'an City in the past two days.

When he heard about the turmoil in Chang'an City's business community due to highland barley, Luo Zhang's lips revealed a confused smile.

"Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan, let's see how you can appease the restless Tubo this time! If you want to marry my wife and be your Princess of Tubo, this is the price you have to pay! But this is just the beginning!" Luo Zhang murmured.

While the whole of Chang'an was restless because of the highland barley, Xue Yantuo, who was far away from Chang'an, was happily holding a banquet to welcome their sacred object, the Nine Street Ice Jade Glazed Vase, which they had bought from the Tang Dynasty at a great price.

The purpose was to offer these Nine Streets Ice Jade Glass Vase to the Turks in exchange for their protection. In this way, they, Xue Yantuo, would no longer be afraid of the threats of Tibet and Tang Dynasty.

"National Master, it's really hard for you this time. It's really gratifying and congratulating to grab such a rare treasure for me, Xue Yantuo!" A middle-aged man wearing a python robe and a leather hat inlaid with various gems.

The man welcomed him warmly.

"My lord, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my destiny and obtained this treasure. This is a gift from the Immortal Heaven. I dare not take credit for it!" The white-haired Imperial Master raised his hands to the sky to show that this was all the credit of the Immortal Heaven.

The king followed the same action to show respect to the Changsheng Heaven, and then looked at the Imperial Preceptor and continued: "The Immortal Heaven has indeed blessed us, but the Imperial Preceptor has contributed a lot. If we can get the blessing of the Turks this time, we will

Xue Yantuo will be able to spend several decades safely. With these decades, we, Xue Yantuo, will definitely be able to develop and grow and defeat Tubo! We will no longer be oppressed by them!"

"The Holy Lord of the Kingdom!" Everyone shouted, looking forward to that day.

It took Lu Dongzan more than ten days to get back to Tubo. The distance was really far. Naturally, the reason for rushing back to Tubo in such a hurry was for the highland barley. The benefits Luo Zhang promised him were too great.

I have drunk that kind of highland barley wine, and I know that this wine will definitely sell well. If you get a 50% profit, how much will it cost? This is enough to solve the suffering of the Tibetan people.

So as soon as he returned to Tubo, he ordered his family to buy highland barley on a large scale, but he did not share this news with others. After all, people are selfish, and it is not an exaggeration to praise him!

It is right to solve the sufferings of the people, but it is also right to develop and strengthen your own family!

It's just that Lu Dongzan didn't know what happened in Chang'an after he left. If he knew, he might have the intention to kill Luo Zhang.

Just when he was buying up highland barley on a large scale, the Tibetan high priests and big landowners also received the report a few days later.

When these high priests and big landowners learned that highland barley had been sold for dozens of times the sky-high price in the Tang Dynasty and the demand was still in short supply, their eyes were naturally red and they were very angry. They originally wondered why Lu Dongzan was buying up highland barley in such a big way. After all, highland barley is

It's just food for ordinary people in Tubo. They don't eat it. What do they do with this highland barley?

Unexpectedly, I never expected that Lu Dongzan would be so cunning and shameless. Not only would he not share such a good thing with them, but he would secretly buy highland barley on his own. This is eating alone!

For a time, Tubo's high priests and big landowners came to Lu Dongzan one after another to ask for an explanation!

Lu Dongzan was also confused. He didn't know how this matter was leaked so quickly. He wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain it. Could he tell these greedy guys about his agreement with Luo Zhang?

If he said this, wouldn't his work be in vain? What could his family gain? How could his idea of ​​strengthening the family and letting the people live a good life be realized?

Therefore, he naturally had no good feelings towards these high priests and big landowners, and excused himself as ignorant.

But these high priests and big landowners are so easy to get rid of. Since you Lu Dongzan said you didn't know anything, don't blame everyone for being rude. The quarrel will naturally break up without any panic!

You Ludongzan can purchase and sell highland barley, and we can also purchase and sell it!

For a time, the commotion over the purchase of highland barley actually spread to Tubo, and its intensity was even more intense than in Chang'an!

However, the result was different from Chang'an. The people in Chang'an received twenty or thirty times the purchase price and made a lot of money. In Tubo, the people were like cattle and sheep.

In the eyes, they were not regarded as human beings at all. When buying highland barley, they left behind three melons and two dates. Some even had no money, and the highland barley at home was taken away. In this regard, the people of Tubo dared to be angry but dare not speak out!

If you dare to say one more word, you will be punished with a whip!
