Zongwang extorted countless gold and silver treasures during this trip to Bianliang, but these gold and silver treasures could not take root in the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Huining's budding handicraft industry has long been dismantled by Han merchants, and the handicraft industry in Yanyun was originally passable, but not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods with goods, after the more high-quality handicraft products of the Han Department accompanied the entry of political forces, the original handicraft industry in Yanyun shrank like Huining. However, Yanyun's foundation is relatively solid after all, and the craftsmen and merchants have finally held the market of some locals with logistics and improvement, but the goods of the Han Department have firmly occupied the first impression of "high-class goods", and the Jin Kingdom has gone up and down to Zongwang and Zonghan, down to ordinary soldiers, as long as they have spare money, they all take the goods of the Han Department as the first choice. As for sugar, spices, ceramics, silk and other things, Yanyun's handicraftsmen did not even have the conditions to compete with the Han merchants.

After the Jinguo East Road Army, a consumption boom was set off in the Yanjing area, and the soldiers who returned with a full load of them sold the calligraphy and painting antiques they had looted from the south, and at the same time bought all kinds of daily necessities and luxury goods from the Han merchants.

After Yang Yingqi knew the situation, he said to Lin Ling: "Zongwang launched such a big war, and the gold and silver looted are not a lot, but Chen Guanghu transported a boatload of spices and exchanged half of the results of this war. I knew I was also in the spice business. ”

Lin Ling covered her mouth and smiled: "You are jealous of others, but you don't know that others also hate you to the point of itching!" ”

Yang Yingqi asked why, Lin Ling said: "Why else, taxes!" Zong Wang fought such a big battle from life to death, and as a result, all the gold and silver in his hands flowed into the hands of Han merchants. But what about the gold and silver in the hands of the merchants? If you use a tax card, they will lose 30% of their meat! Do you say they hate you? ”

Yang Yingqi scolded: "You businessmen who peel the skin, this is not satisfied!" If it weren't for us, would your business have gone so smoothly? I'm afraid that the goods will be robbed by pirates on the way - even if they can enter Yanyun, hum! If it weren't for the Hanbu's sword behind him, those Hu people would honestly do business with you? ”

Lin Ling smiled: "Don't be yours, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

Yang Yingqi glanced at her and said, "It has nothing to do with you?" How did I hear that Chen Guanghu and they deposited all the gold and silver they couldn't take away into your bank? ”

Lin Ling smiled: "It's saved, but it's not for me." When he gets back and takes it out, I'll have to pay him interest. ”

Regardless of what Yang Yingqi said on the surface, Tanggu's handicraft industry and commerce were actually further enhanced by the stimulation of this war, and Yang Yingqi reached a further agreement with Zong Wang and Zong Han, agreeing that the activities of Han merchants in the Yanyun area would be restored to the level before the Jin-Han War, because the Jin army, from high-ranking generals to soldiers' families, needed to buy Han goods, especially the weapons and food needed by Zongwang to expand his army.

Nowadays, the production of weapons in the Jin Kingdom is quite insufficient, and most of the private foundry industry has long since collapsed under the suppression of Han merchants, and the government-run weapons manufacturing industry is far less cost-effective than buying directly from the Han Ministry due to its lower efficiency than the Han Ministry's forging houses, considering the cost and other issues. The only thing that made Zong Wang dissatisfied was that Yang Yingqi refused to sell some of the weapons he was interested in, such as bed crossbows, and all he was willing to sell were some swords, guns, bows and arrows - these craftsmen of the Jin Kingdom also made them, but they were not as good and cheap as the goods of the Han Dynasty.

As for selling grain, Chen Zhenghui did not have a very big opinion. At present, the grain-producing areas controlled by the Han are not only Liuqiu, Mayi and Liaodong Peninsula, but also most of the surplus grain in the Liaohe River valley north of Liaokou is also controlled by the Han Dynasty. Although the administrative power of the Han Dynasty reached Liaokou, due to the export of a large number of Han people, the Northeast Plain was already full of Han villages at this time, and the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River were the "hardest hit areas" of Han immigrants. In addition to leaving rations and paying taxes, most of the grain grown in these Han villages, which are good at tax evasion and tax evasion, flows to Liaokou and Jinmen, and their quantity is about one-third of the grain output in this area, and under the control of the Jinmen government, the grain sold by Han merchants to the Jin army every year generally does not exceed two-thirds of this value, and selling grain to Dajin has little impact on the grain storage of the Han Dynasty, but can deal with some old grain, so Chen Zhenghui has no objection to this.

However, Chen Zhenghui has always had quite objections to the sale of weapons to Jin Guo, believing that this matter is similar to that of a capital enemy. Yang Yingqi shook his head and said: "The Jurchens are different from the Mongols, they originally had Wuchun good craftsmen, and in the past few years, they have obtained countless craftsmen from Daliao, are you still afraid that they will not make their own weapons?" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "That's not true, but we don't have to take the initiative to sell weapons to them." ”

"The scale of the Jinmen Forge House is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a large surplus of weapons that have been made, so if you don't sell them to them, will they rot in the warehouse? Or is it to reduce the size of the Jinmen Weapon Forge House? None of them are good. Yang Yingqi said: "It is not an easy task to feed the weapon forging house in Jinmen, especially when there is no war for the time being-you must know that the weapon furnace fire must be burned often to be pure!" In this case, instead of using our own financial resources to support us, it is better to use the financial resources of the golden people to support us. Besides, all we sell are ordinary weapons, even if we don't sell them, won't Zongwang still make them themselves? Hum! In fact, what I am most afraid of is that they train their own craftsmen to make weapons, which will promote the progress of their weapon making. I hope that Zong Han Zong hopes that they will completely give up building their own weapons, and buy them all from us, so that we will control the source of their weapons, and give them as much as they want, and pinch them whenever they want - but unfortunately they are not stupid. Especially Zong Han, as if he had something to do with those craftsmen who could make artillery cars, I asked Zhao Lumin to find a way to poach the corners several times but failed! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But if we sell weapons to the Jurchens like this, will we increase their advantage over the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned, clapped his palms and shouted, "That's right! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Seventh General, do you regret it?" ”

"Of course I regret it!"

Chen Zhenghui was about to say that it would be better to restrict the export of weapons to the Jurchens, but Yang Yingqi had already shouted: "We have to quickly find a way to sell more weapons to the Great Song Dynasty!" This is long overdue! Well! Zhenghui, your idea is very good, so that the two sides can be balanced, and we also have one more way to make money! ”

Chen Zhenghui was stunned and said, "Da Song may not come to buy our weapons, right?" They are no worse than we are. ”

Yang Yingqi sighed: "If it is placed in the Xining period, the weapons manufacturing of the Great Song Dynasty is not bad, but Cai Jing has lost his family for 20 years, although it will not lose his family, but I heard that the style of cutting corners by the craftsmen of the official camp of the Great Song Dynasty is prevalent, and it is difficult to return to the so-called accumulation, and it is difficult to restore the prosperity of the year for a while." And we just took the opportunity to get in. Besides, we must not only find a way to sell to the Song court, but also find a way to sell to the people of the Great Song Dynasty - especially Lianghe! The landlords and merchants of the Great Song Dynasty were very rich, and I am sure they would be interested. After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhenghui, do you have any brothers?" ”

Chen Zhenghui was stunned and said, "Brother? ”

"yes." Yang Yingqi said: "Selling weapons is a big deal, if you have a brother, I will open a small door and hand it over to your brother to do." ”

Chen Zhenghui said awe-inspiringly: "What kind of person is Chen Zhenghui, how can he fake public and private interests!" ”

Yang Yingqi praised: "Brother Zhenghui is really a gentleman. He said again: "But this matter does not hinder official business, what are you worried about!" I'm going to leave it to your brother, firstly, for public and private purposes, and secondly, for the sake of secrecy. ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Anyway, it's wrong to use public fat and private interests!" In short, don't mention this matter anymore, and besides, I don't have a brother. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "Well, it's a pity that your son is too young, otherwise this matter would have been cheaper for him." By the way, how many sons does Chen Xian have? ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Five." ”

Yang Yingqi asked again: "How old are you, can you be a master?" Where is it now? ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Chen Lao's five sons, Lu, Yu, Jin, Chu, and Yue, the eldest is nearly forty, and the youngest Chen Yue is also in his twenties. The eldest and third had all passed the imperial examination, but after Chen Lao returned to his hometown, they also followed him to Siming—and now they all followed their father to the Han Dynasty. Chen Lu and Chen Yu have already been out of our Han Department, Chen Lu is in Liuqiu, Chen Yu is in Tanggu, Chen Jin and Chen Yue are staying by Chen Lao's side. It's just that Chen Chu is the most unscrupulous, he doesn't do his job all day, he is idle, he runs Liaokou today, and Qingyang tomorrow, but he doesn't want to study hard! Now Elder Chen has publicly told his protégés everywhere that they are not allowed to help his unscrupulous son. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Well, this Chen Chu sounds a little interesting. Can you arrange it for me, I'd like to meet him. Be secret. ”

Chen Zhenghui said strangely: "Seventh General, what do you want to see him do?" Don't...... Do you want to give him this business? ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "That's what it means." ”

Chen Zhenghui said unhappily: "Seventh General, I know that you want to marry Chen Lao, but doing this will inevitably damage the public and private funds." If this Chen Chu is a person of good virtue, then I don't object, but he is clearly an unscrupulous person, how can such a major matter be handed over to him? ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "You didn't fully guess what I meant, and you don't know much about doing business." Most people who are in business, have read a belly full of books and have a belly full of morality. On the contrary, it is the people who are willing to run around that they are prone to such qualifications, and it would be better if such people had read for a few days and understood a little truth! It is not surprising that Chen Xian's scholarly family has a champion, but it is not easy to drill out a prodigal son who is not doing his job properly and is idle. But I'm still going to treat him for a while, to see if he's a man who can do things, or a pure rotten boy! ”
