    During this period, due to inconvenient transportation, most countries still relied on agriculture as their main source of income.  As long as the crops are grown well, the country's economy will be basically the same.  Tubo has a multi-basin terrain, spanning the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Hengduan Mountains, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the Qinba Mountains. Because of this complex landform, it is also quite difficult for Tubo to develop agriculture.  Simply growing food is not feasible, so if you want to improve Tubo's economic situation, in addition to developing agriculture, commerce must also play a supporting role.  But the problem came again. In addition to Tubo's complicated terrain, there were really not many products that could be commercially operated.  Suddenly I remembered what a certain great god said, if you want to get rich, build roads first.  Without convenient transportation, no economic model can function well.  But road construction is also a problem. These days, there are no bulldozers or single trailers.  If you want to build roads, you have to rely purely on manpower.  In this way, road construction has become a waste of money and people for Tibet, which is already in a very bad economic situation. Without road construction, the economy will not improve, and road construction will be criticized by the world, which becomes a dilemma.  matter.  After a long period of thinking and discussions with the Tibetan ministers in charge of the economy, we finally decided to start with agriculture and animal husbandry.  The land must still be planted, after all, people have to eat food to live; and animal husbandry can provide additional economic income.  Agriculture and animal husbandry are only policies that benefit the people. The benefits cannot be seen in a short time and require long-term accumulation.  After solving the problems of the people, it becomes the problem of the country. There is a saying that if you want to make the country rich, you must first make the people rich. Hiding wealth among the people is the wisest policy.  Once the country has a financial problem, as long as it increases taxes a little, the national treasury will be filled immediately, and the people have money and don't care about a little tax.  But this requires the people to get rich first. The problem is that the people cannot get rich for the time being.  Therefore, we must take another path and let the country save some money in commercial operations. Only with money can we have confidence.  The ¡®bank model¡¯ built by Wei Hong in Datang was not suitable for Tubo. After all, transportation in Tubo was extremely inconvenient and the people had no money to save.  In addition to the banking model, it is an industrial and commercial operation. Just like the central enterprises of later generations, it creates several state-controlled enterprises and other institutions for the country to directly make profits for the country.  In this day and age, the main money-making industries are as follows.  Cloth, tea, porcelain, ironware, buying and selling livestock.  The flax production in Tubo is pretty good, so we can go into the cloth industry, and the tea industry is also possible.  In fact, Tibet had traded cloth and tea before, but it was only on a small scale.  As long as these two industries are developed, very objective profits can still be created.  Wei Hong started his business by making cloth, so he is very familiar with the cloth industry. In addition, the three sisters of the Li family around him are all proficient in the cloth industry, which can be regarded as a unique innate advantage.  Help Tubo support the cloth industry.  Wei Hong is not afraid of squeezing out his own Hongyuan Trading Company. After all, any industry can only develop if there is competition. Healthy competition is an indispensable and beneficial factor for business.  Having a goal.  With the impetus for progress, Wei Hong and Shima Kar proposed that the two industries of cloth and tea should be carried out at the same time.  First open two trading houses, one specializing in cloth.  The other specializes in tea. The two are independent of each other and cannot have the slightest connection.  This eliminates the possibility of confusion of powers.  Let the two industries go their own way.  Wei Hong's proposal was unconditionally accepted by Horse Racing, and the work efficiency was quite fast. It only took half a month to establish two trading firms at the same time.  With the signboard, the next step is to recruit workers. Tea is a seasonal business. When the tea farmers pick tea, the merchants earn low prices and stock up. When the tea farmers finish picking the tea, there will be no low-priced fresh tea on the market.  , it¡¯s time for the commercial bank to make money.  In short, the profit model of tea is to hoard and make money from time.  Therefore, there is no rush for tea leaves. We must wait for next year's tea leaves to get on track.  Therefore, now we are mainly busy with the cloth industry.  Winter is about to come, and we can no longer receive flax from the people. We can only purchase gray cloth from merchants from various places and process it.  With the full-scale acquisition of Maimai Karma, it took only two months to purchase 50,000 pieces of gray cloth, which is still a considerable amount.  Subsequently, dyeing and manufacturing of cloth did not require Wei Hong's personal guidance, and were handled by professionals recruited by Jockey Club.  It is easy to collect cloth, but it is relatively difficult to make clothes. Just relying on the stitch by stitch of the embroiderers will definitely not make it faster.  Ma Xiangma relied on his relationship with Wei Hong and as his wife, ordered Wei Hong to bring the sewing machine from Hongyuan Trading Company. ????????????????????????????????????????? If Horse Racing Karma orders Wei Hong as a Tubo princess, Wei Hong will definitely ignore it!  But now Sai Ma is extremely smart and reveals his wife's identity, so Wei Hong can't refuse.  If the wife is in trouble, the husband will naturally help!  However, transporting sewing machines from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo was not an easy task. Besides, the craftsmen who could make sewing machines were brought to Tubo by Wei Hong, and it took a lot of effort.What are you doing?  Just create it right here.  Two months later, one hundred brand-new sewing machines were shipped out of the valley and shipped to Luoxe, the royal capital of Tubo.  When Wei Hong handed these sewing machines to Ma Ma's hands, the well-informed Ma Ma did not have much reaction, while the ignorant workers around her all had their eyes shining and wished they could all move home.  One.  With the participation of a sewing machine, the process of making clothes has become much simpler and more enjoyable.  During this period, Saimao suggested that while making local Tubo clothes, he should also make some clothes from the Tang Dynasty for sale to the Tang Dynasty.  Wei Hong rejected the idea of ????horse racing. The reason was very simple. The Tang Dynasty lacked everything, and the most indispensable thing was cloth merchants. Originally, Tubo's cloth trade had no competitiveness at all. If one blindly entered the cloth trade of the Tang Dynasty,  The business circle is very likely to be squeezed out without a place to die.  Of course, Wei Hong is not completely negative. The method of selling to the Tang Dynasty is still advisable, but it is not to make Tang clothes, but to sell Tubo clothes to the Tang Dynasty.  The cultural receptiveness of the Tang Dynasty is quite high, which can be seen from the popularity of Hu clothing. Tubo clothes were sold to the Tang Dynasty, and they were also regarded as exotic clothes, which had some innate competitiveness.  Of course, this is just a minor aspect of external marketing, and the most important market is domestic demand.  (To be continued)
