For many ordinary businessmen in Datang, Xenobud is definitely a big customer worthy of currying favor.

Although he is a Tubo person.

The Tang Dynasty was extremely tolerant of foreigners. Even though the Tang Dynasty had fought with the Tubo people for many years, under the leadership of Li Ze, the Tang army beat the other party in Suizhou and Ganzhou and other places, completely drove the Tubo people out, and took them back to the Western Regions, some of the people who originally hated Tubo were relieved.

After Chinan and Li Ze reached an agreement with Delhi, Sinobud became the plenipotent representative of Chinan in the Tang Dynasty. He led troops to fight or was just a second-rate general, but his ability to do business has been fully demonstrated in the Tang Dynasty in recent years.

While purchasing all kinds of military supplies needed by the other party for Chinan, Delhi, he also seized all the opportunities and invested the spare funds in the vigorous business tide of the Tang Dynasty.

The gradually improved business bill of the Tang Dynasty provided him with sufficient guarantees. He did not have to worry about being deceived by local merchants or suppressed by the government because he was in a foreign land. Even when the capital turnover was not effective, Wuwei Money House and Tongda Money House would provide him with commercial loans.

For big customers like him, the loan interest rates are extremely low.

The success of the Tang Dynasty in business made him less and less funds needed by Chinan Delhi. The income from his business in the Tang Dynasty alone could already meet half of the costs of buying and selling these materials. While tasting the huge sweetness, Xenobud also boldly invested his family's assets and also gained great success.

A series of successful operations made Serubude a helper that Chinan in Delhi could not leave. His family's status under Chinan Delhi was becoming more and more important. Although he was not in Tubo, his status steadily became the second-ranked figure among the Chinan forces in Delhi.

He had become accustomed to living in the Tang Dynasty, learned fluent Tang language, and could use chopsticks to eat any kind of Tang Dynasty delicacy, and swagger in Tang Dynasty costumes.

He even felt that if he had returned to Tubo now, he would be afraid that he would not be able to adapt to his original life in a short period of time.

In the Tang Dynasty, everything was so convenient.

After Li Ze entered Chang'an, Sinobud immediately put on his clothes and followed Li Ze into Chang'an City. As a representative of Chinan Delhi, he knew that he had to follow Li Ze's pace to get what he wanted. As a successful businessman, he also keenly saw the huge business opportunities in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places now.

Think about it, Chang'an is the largest city he has ever seen, with a population of millions almost equivalent to the current population of Tubo. This is not the population of Luoyang that is hundreds of thousands.

The process of Xenobud's business entering Chang'an was very smooth. Now Chang'an is extremely destructive and the people are extremely poor. Any large amount of funds entering are welcomed by the court led by Li Ze.

The purchase of shops and manors was so low that he was extremely surprised. He had only used less than one-third of the money he had prepared to complete his original business plan. This also allowed him to see how much damage Chang'an suffered in this war, far beyond his imagination.

As a businessman, it is naturally a pleasure to complete the scheduled plan with the least amount of money.

But as a politician, he knew that his behavior now was almost equivalent to taking advantage of the situation. If he was a businessman from the north, Li Ze might not say anything, but he would not be the same. If Li Ze wrote down a small notebook and he would have taken the opportunity to insult himself, he would be really unable to cry.

As a great nobleman in Tubo and the ruler, he was not unfamiliar with such things and routines.

So he generously donated the remaining money to the government.

Anyway, the money is not his. Anyway, the money was originally planned to be used, but now it has earned a huge reputation and goodwill to the government, so it is naturally worth it.

Feng Ying, the magistrate of Chang'an Prefecture, personally brought someone to beat drums and drums to Sinobude, giving Sinobude a large plaque of a family of good deeds, which made Sinobude's glory for a while.

But today, Thanobud's face was extremely gloomy.

Because of an ordnance procurement plan that had been reached with the Datang Business Department, the delivery time was delayed. He went to negotiate in person, and the other party was very enthusiastic. Wang Mingyi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was the highest official in charge of this, personally received him.

But the result made him extremely angry.

The other party not only delayed the delivery time, but also increased the price. This forced him to pay hundreds of thousands of extra coins for this batch of military supplies.

Thanobud didn't care if he paid a little more, he cared about what was hidden behind this matter.

Although the answer given by Wang Mingyi seems to be reasonable.

The South is launching a large-scale attack on them, and the main force of the Tang army needs to rest and breathe after defeating the pseudo-liang. Therefore, the war in the South is not optimistic for a while. They need to add a lot of weapons. Now the imperial court mainly focuses on internal supply, and foreign sales will have to be reduced in scale.

But these must be excuses.

You should know that when the Tang Dynasty was fighting on both sides, dealing with Zhang Zhongwu, Northeast China and Zhu Youzhen, they were not in a hurry. In that season, they did not raise the military purchase price. Now, just one training in the south has made them feel overwhelmed.

impossible.

He has been in Wuyi for many years and has traveled almost all over the northern part. Even some places in the south have been to Senobude. He has a clear understanding of the comparison of the strength of the two sides and the strong strength of the area under Li Ze's rule. He does not think that the southern forces will be Li Ze's opponent. It is inevitable that Li Ze will defeat those rebels by unifying the Tang Dynasty.

They must have smelled the current situation in Tubo.

Tocharo's body has completely collapsed, and now it is just a breath of breath. Delhi Chinan must be careful of Tocharo going crazy before he dies, so he needs a lot of arms to prepare for the powerful blow that Tochar may come.

In recent years, Delhi Chinan said that he was competing with Tochar, but in fact he had been at a disadvantage. If Li Ze's Tang Dynasty had not fully supported it, it would have collapsed long ago.

Not to mention that the serf uprising in the past two years has made Delhi Chinan even more confused.

The only thing that is thankful is that Tochar is also trapped here.

But time is finally on the side of Delhi Chinan. Tochar is old, but Delhi Chinan is in his prime. To put it simply, Delhi Chinan has always been preparing to die of Tocaro.

Now he is about to succeed. As long as Tochar dies, Tubo will inevitably become the object of Chinan Delhi. Even some important figures in the Tochar side have realized this, and many people are secretly looking for a way out for themselves. As the second person in Chinan Delhi, Xenobud naturally knows these top-secret inside information.

But something happened to the Tang Dynasty again.

Of course, they were happy to see Tubo's strength in another round of civil strife. All reasons for not being able to supply goods are excuses. While Sinobud agreed to the other party's price increase, he was willing to raise the price to withdraw the goods immediately, but Wang Mingyi refused without hesitation.

The fact that Wang Mingyi, the money skeleton, can refute such temptation of money so decisively, can only show one thing: this time it has nothing to do with business, but only with politics.

At this moment, Thinobud took off his disguise as a businessman and returned to his true nature as a politician or diplomat.

"Do you ask to see Li Xiang in this matter and work harder?" His deputy, also the confidant Xira, sent by Chinan Delhi, suggested.

Sinobud shook his head and said, "It's useless. I'm afraid this matter was decided by Li Ze. Li Ze has always been very afraid of our Tubo. You must know that once our Tubo becomes strong, we will have a huge advantage in geographical advantages against the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, a chaotic Tubo is what he wants to see. He will never want our great theories to unify Tubo. So even if he kneels down and begs him, Li Ze will not look at us more. In his eyes, money is not the same thing."

"What should we do now? Da Lun is very much in need of this batch of weapons!" Xi Le said.

"There's no way!" Xenobud shook his head and said, "Write a letter to tell the great remarks that this time, we can only rely on ourselves. Fortunately, Tochar is no longer possible. If we start from within, we may be able to dismantle part of the other party's forces and even use it for us."

"That's all. Li Ze is not a reliable friend."

Xenobud chuckled, "We have never been friends, we are just exchanges of interests. Li Ze is afraid of a unified Tubo, so whether it is Tochar or our great theories that unify Tubo, our transaction with them will almost end."

Xira was shocked, "If Tocharo dies and the great theory unifies Tubo, and if both sides become enemies, wouldn't our investment in the Tang Dynasty be wasted?"

"It will take time." Serobud said: "Once the opportunity is wrong, I will withdraw. I will cash out as much as I can. And there is also a part of the funds that we hold on behalf of others and can be processed slowly."

"I miss the pastures in my hometown, cattle and sheep, blue sky, white clouds, and the sound of bells and drums in the temple." Xira sighed, "I don't know when I can go home?"

However, Sinobud slowly shook his head: "Xira, you have been back for two years. I believe you have also seen the power of the Tang Dynasty under Li Ze's rule. If possible, I really hope to live in peace with them and I can live here forever. Once both sides turn against each other, it is actually not good for us. Once a unified Tang Dynasty is enemies with us, our lives will be sad."

Xira nodded silently.

Only by being in this can you feel the power of the Tang Dynasty. That feeling of powerlessness is something that people in Tubo cannot understand.
