"Dad, we've been waiting here for more than ten days, are you sure whether to go out or go back?"

While feeding the horse, Zhu Junsheng asked his father Zhu Jinliang, who was also feeding the horse.

"Of course, we are going to go out of customs, and if we don't sell so many goods to Liao, won't we have to pay for death."

"Then Dad, why did you stay here for so long, I went to Liaoguo early to sell the goods, so we should go home as soon as possible."

Zhu Jinliang glanced at his son, this kid, I'm afraid he thinks about his newly married daughter-in-law.

"Dad will teach you another business experience today, doing business, what goods to pull and where to sell, this is a knowledge, but when to pull it over and sell it, this is a university question."

"Isn't it just sold to the Liao people, doesn't it mean that the Liao people are stupid and stupid, and they are very ...... to deceive"

"Shut up, we are businessmen, do you say that our customers are stupid, the Liao people are all gold masters for us, Junsheng, you went to the Liao country like this, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to save your life, I think you should go back to accompany your new daughter-in-law."

Zhu Junsheng lowered his head, this was the first time that his father took him to Liaoguo to do business, and he didn't want to lose this opportunity.

"Dad, I know it's wrong, we are businessmen, just do business, the Liao Han people, including the party item Tubo, as long as they buy our goods, they are all uncles, and they are our financiers."

Zhu Jinliang added some grass to the manger and continued:

"Take care of your mouth, being open-mouthed is a taboo for being a man, and it is also a taboo for us businessmen."

"Dad, I made a note of it."

"The reason why my father stayed here for more than ten days is because Liaodi is not the Central Plains, and it is still the time when the spring is cold.

"Dad, are you saying that in April, when the spring flowers are in full bloom in Liaodi, the cloth and silk we bring can be sold at a better price, but don't we still bring a lot of seeds?"

"Junsheng, the solar terms in various places are slightly sequenced, it is said that in the south of the Yangtze River, crops can be harvested twice a year, and the spring ploughing season is much earlier than in the north, and Liaodi is later than ours."

"Dad, I understand, so how many days do we have to wait?"

"It's just these two days, almost, Dad has been to Liaodi many times, the reason why he chose Ningzhou is that the guard here is a Han, Han people are always easy to talk to, and Dad has some friendship with him, at least he can ensure the safety of the goods."

"Hehe, you're still amazing, Dad, the paperwork for customs clearance has been prepared."

"I still need you to ask, even the things that should be honored when you go out of the customs, Dad has already prepared, learn a little, stinky boy."

In the inn, Yelu Hugo listened to the report of his subordinates and was silent.

"Brother Hugh, this is indeed an opportunity, if we can follow the caravan of the Zhu family father and son out of the customs, it may be much smoother, and we can also directly find our Daliao army through Wang Hong, the defender of Ningzhou, and tell them that the plan has been revealed, and we can only withdraw the army to defend Youzhou."

Youzhou, after the Liao State occupied Yanyun, set up Nanjing Xijin Mansion here, which is one of the three capitals of the Liao State, and is the only way to the Liao State Shangjing Linhuang Mansion and Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion. (At this time, there were no five capitals of Liao, only three capitals)

"You can use the caravan of the Zhu family's father and son, but I don't want to go to Ningzhou, after entering my territory in Daliao, I plan to take Yanyan to return to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo immediately to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

"Brother Hugh, you are very thoughtful, we are going to send a letter to the army now, without Lord Yelu, I am afraid that they will not listen to us, Brother Hugh, you are worthy of the attention of adults, and your subordinates will definitely escort Brother Hugh and Yanyan back to Tokyo safely."

"The father and son of the Zhu family are saying that they will be ready to leave in the next two days, so let's discuss with them as soon as possible, spend money if they can, and if they don't go to the Tao, they will take the son as a hostage and force Zhu Jinliang to cooperate with us."

"Subordinates obey."

When they found Zhu Jinliang and said that they wanted to go out with them, Zhu Jinliang only hesitated slightly.

"A few nobles, Zhu is just a businessman, a businessman only wants money, regardless of anything else, this point Zhu must first say in the head, Zhu is very familiar with this business road, has a good relationship with the guards of the border pass, and is also familiar with Lord Wang Hong, the assassin of Ningzhou, and even the Xijin Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion, there are also some connections."

"The reason why Zhu said this first is because Zhu feels that the bearing of several people is extraordinary, and there must be a lot of lives in his hands, don't worry about it first, Zhu is also a person who does business in the head of the knife, this is not a little courageous, how dare you sell goods to your Liao country?"

"If a few nobles of the Liao Kingdom really want to go out with Zhu's caravan, the money must be paid, and when they get there, Zhu just begs you not to unload the mill and kill the donkey."

"Let me tell you again, Zhu's goods are going to be transported out of Gubeikou and transported to Liaoyang Mansion."

The subordinates came back to tell Yelu Hugh, and originally Yelu Hugh also had a plan to kill him after leaving the customs.

But I'm really worried about the cruel words left by the boss Guo Zongxun, at least in the hands of Brother Yelu Xiu and Xiao Yanyan, don't get involved in the lives of the Han people.

"Then don't the Zhu family's father and son know that my Da Liao has already started a war with the Zhou State?"

Judging from the tone of Zhu Jinliang's words, his subordinates should not know about this matter yet.

"Promise them, after passing the customs, detain their goods, take their father and son, and rush back to Liaoyang Mansion together, the goods are estimated to be unable to be transported to Liaoyang Mansion, leave a few people to deal with it on the spot, and keep the money from selling the goods, don't be greedy, this is useful to the father and son and the money."

"Subordinates obey."

Zhu Jinliang received one hundred taels of golden ingots, and immediately smiled:

"A few are really the nobles of Da Liao, this hundred taels of gold ingots, Zhu Mou accepted it first, after passing the customs, he will return it in full, this time, Zhu Mou will also give half of the goods, even if it is to buy the lives of my father and son, and, in order to reassure you, please take Zhu's son away."

"Dad, how can you do this, I'm your own son, won't it be over if we don't promise them."

Zhu Jinliang glared at Zhu Junsheng and said:

"Silly son, since this matter has found our father and son, whether it is out of the customs or not, our father and son can't hide, several nobles are smart people at a glance, as long as we help them get out of the customs smoothly, I believe they will not embarrass us, after all, after killing all the merchants, who will go to Liao to sell goods."

"Your father and son can rest assured, as long as we can get out of the customs smoothly, our young master said, one hundred taels of gold is yours, the goods are also yours, and your life is still yours."

"Then Zhu will thank you very much, I wish us all the best."

Zhu Junsheng was reluctantly taken away by the Liao, and only Zhu Jinliang was left in the house.

After sitting for a long time, Zhu Jinliang took a pen and paper, wrote a note, and stuffed it into a very hidden crack in the wooden pillar of the room.

"Son, Dad wanted to take you to Liaoguo for some training, and it was time for you to know what Dad did, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, our father and son are gone, and you are afraid that you will not be able to come back."

"If our father and son can survive, they will definitely take you as a hostage, and my father has a fifty percent hope that he can come back, and when the time comes, my father will help you write a letter of resignation and let your daughter-in-law remarry, as for you, marry another Han woman in Liaodi."

~~~~~~~~

Zhao Kuangyin led an army of 100,000 on the left to take over the Sikou Pass, and Yue Fei led the vanguard army of 50,000 to Yingzhou.

When the Chinese army led by Emperor Guo Rong arrived at Sikou Pass, Guo Rong immediately ordered Zhao Kuangyin's headquarters to open up.

"Yuen Long, Pengju has won the first credit for my Great Zhou, Yanyun West Road depends on Yuen Long's ability, I hereby wish Yuen Long can also be victorious and invincible."

Zhao Kuangyin leaned down and said:

"Minister Zhao Kuangyin is willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor and serve for my Great Zhou Dynasty to expand the territory, and the minister hereby makes a military order not to recover the five continents in the west of Yanyun, and the minister Zhao Kuangyin will come to see him."

Guo Rong got up and helped Zhao Kuangyin up and said:

"I can have brave and loyal generals like Pengju and Yuen Long, why worry about the injustice of the world."

Zhao Kuangyin led the army to march straight to Ulzhou.

"Passing on my military order, the commander of the army Wang Xianqi transferred 50,000 forbidden troops, led by the deputy general, rushed to Yingzhou in the starry night, and sent fast horses to tell Yue Fei, the Hanzi army, and I added 50,000 soldiers and horses to him to strengthen his prestige."

"There is Zhao Kuangyin's 100,000 army on the left road, Yue Fei's 100,000 army on the middle road, Zhang Yongde's 100,000 army on the right road, and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, it depends on which of you can take back the most."

Zhang Yongde has been ordered to lead the army to separate from the Chinese army and go straight to Yijin Pass and Ningzhou, waiting for him will be the 300,000 troops of the Liao State.

Five days later, Yingzhou once again came with good news, Yue Fei led the Hun army before the siege, Yingzhou Assassin Shi Gao Yanhui surrendered the city, Yue Fei's Hun army added another 30,000 soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Emperor Guo Rong received a secret report from a woman holding the prince's jade pendant, and learned that the 300,000 troops of the Liao State were actually gathered in Ningzhou, and the prince was almost hijacked by the Liao dog, and he was also shocked.

"Chen Bing Ningzhou, you still dare to hold my prince hostage, Liaogou is really a good means, this is to take advantage of the situation, this chivalrous girl, my prince is okay, right?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound, presumably he has returned to Kaifeng City safely now, please rest assured, the senior sister of the grass people will always be by His Royal Highness the Prince's side."

"Okay, good, but I don't know where the chivalrous sisters come from, and I want to reward you heavily."

"Your Majesty, the grass people sisters have no door or faction, they are just called sisters, the grass people's sister is called Lu Siniang, and the grass people are called Nalan Yi."

"Then I will give you the name of Wushuangmen, take the meaning of chivalrous and unparalleled, I will give the chivalrous girl Lu Siniang the position of the master of the Wushuang Gate, give the chivalrous girl Nalan Yi the position of the deputy master of the Wushuang Gate, and give Huashan to the Wushuang Gate, Miss Lu and Miss Nalan can be called ministers in front of the emperor, and the Wushuang Gate will rest with the country, and you can recruit disciples to serve me loyally in the Great Zhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers and senior sisters will definitely carry forward the Wushuang Gate and live up to Your Majesty's holy grace."

"In the past, there were thirteen stick monks of Shaolin Temple to save King Tang, and then there were Wushuangmen heroine sisters to save Emperor Zhou, I am very relieved."

Li Tongjie, Guo Wanche, and Li Chongjin, as well as the generals in the list, but they really heard it.

Emperor Zhou? Isn't it the crown prince who was saved, how did he become the emperor of Zhou......

Is the emperor preparing a Zen throne for the crown prince?

Also, isn't Huashan where the Daomen is located? That Mai Taoist and Fuyao Zi Chen Jian are cultivating in Huashan.

The emperor gave Huashan to Wushuangmen, that ...... Daomen is about to move.

Wushuangmen, there is another gate faction that will rest with the country in the rivers and lakes.

"Spread my will, urgently order Yue Fei to lead the Hanzi army to Ningzhou, I want to annihilate the 300,000 soldiers and horses of Liaogou, and order the Chinese army Li Chongjin to lead an army of 50,000 to take over the position of the vanguard army, and rush to Yingzhou."

"Minister Li re-entered to receive the order."

Li Chongjin held back for a while, and the emperor looked at him too strictly, and did not give him the right to lead the troops at all.

Alas...... I knew that I wouldn't run back to Kaifeng for the New Year, how good it would be to hide in Yangzhou, at least 200,000 troops were in hand.

However, by now, Li Chongjin also knew that the conquest of Liao was a righteous battle and a battle to recover Yanyun, since the emperor handed over the military power of the vanguard in the middle to him......

He didn't dare not fight hard, because Guo Rong would lead an army of 150,000 to follow.

Now is really not the time to make trouble, don't dare and can't.

After arranging all this, the chivalrous girl Nalan Yi retired and returned to Kaifeng to join her senior sister Lu Siniang, and the emperor's will to reward Wushuangmen will be sent back to Kaifeng.

Only the emperor Guo Rong, the old eunuch Guo Wanche and the great eunuch Li Tongjie were left in the imperial account.

"My crown prince is also enough to let me worry, Li Tongjie, or I will send back the iron-blooded secret guards who are following me, this is the Chinese army, who would dare to mistreat me?"

"Your Majesty, the old slave disagrees, the iron-blooded secret guard has always guarded and been loyal to the emperor, this is also the rule left by Taizu, there is now a peerless gate around the prince, what are you worried about, Your Majesty?"

"Li Tongjie, I found that you are getting more and more bold, and you dare to oppose me."

"Your Majesty, this is all your guts."

"Imperial Doctor Guo, you tell me a fair word, should Li Tongjie, this old thing, be killed?"

"Your Majesty, whether to kill Li Tongjie or not, the old minister has no opinion, but what, the old minister treats the emperor, with the help of this old man, the cooperation is not bad, it is easy to use, otherwise, wait for the emperor to have a good dragon body, and then kill it."

"Old thing, when the emperor's dragon body is ready, the first one will kill you first."

"Okay, okay, I'm annoyed when I look at the two of you, Li Tongjie, pen and ink are waiting, I want to write a letter to the prince and reprimand him well."

"The old slave obeys the order, the emperor, let the old slave ghostwrite."

"Your Majesty, you still have a silver needle on your arm, and you can't write."

"You two...... When I'm ready, I'll cut you two and get out of my breath......"

"Your Majesty."

~~~~~~~~~~

Guo Zongxun returned to Kaifeng with his child daughter-in-law Lu Siniang, fortunately, Wei Zhongxian was properly arranged in the East Palace, and there was no early dynasty on the second day, so the matter about Guo Zongxun being hijacked did not cause the slightest wave in Kaifeng City.

As for how Guo Zongxun returned to the palace, alas...... It's a bit embarrassing to say, he was actually carried by his child daughter-in-law Lu Siniang and flew directly into the high wall of the palace.

If you want to get out of the palace in the future, it won't be so hard, Lone now has a child daughter-in-law, and she flies with Siniang, it's so cool.

"Wei Banban, you did a good job, you dared to make a decision immediately, Lone is very happy, you already have the ability to take charge on your own."

"Master, you gave the slave a word, I believe that the slave will be improvised, it is this sentence that reminds the slave, otherwise, the slave will also be in chaos."

"Even if you can speak, you can support you, let go of your hands and feet and do what you have to do."

"Slave Xie Master Longen, by the way, master, what about the chivalrous fourth mother? Why didn't you see her......"

"This, Lone doesn't know, Lone's child daughter-in-law is elusive, no matter what she does, Lone doesn't want to restrain her, she can do whatever she likes."

"Master, what is a child daughter-in-law? Could it be that this Lu Siniang is still just a five or six-year-old girl, and she is going to be a concubine for your master in the future? ”

"Wei Companion is half right, Tong refers to Lonely, Lonely's age is still young, Lone raised a big daughter-in-law, called Tong Daughter-in-law, as for the future, Lone grows up, whether Siniang will enter the palace, or just be a lonely black market lady, it's hard to say now."

"Master, what do you mean by the black market lady?"

"Mrs. Black Market has the same meaning as Jinwu Zangjiao, Wei Banban, don't ask, go, pass on Gu's edict, control the carriage and horse shop in the west of the city and all the surrounding houses, people are estimated to have run out, and it will be used as the headquarters of the East Factory."

"The minions obey."

Wei Zhongxian took the order and left, Guo Zongxun looked behind him with a thief's head, where was the lonely child daughter-in-law hiding?

"Oops...... Who is it that pulls the lonely ear......"

"Brother Xun, tell my sister what does Mrs. Black Market mean......"

A beautiful smiling face appeared in front of Guo Zongxun's eyes, so fragrant.

"It hurts...... Hurt... Hurt ......, Siniang, can't you be gentle, aren't you afraid that Lone will give you a letter of resignation, ah...... Restless, endless, kill Lonely, Lone will not rest you. ”

At this moment, the little eunuch outside the door reported that the prince asked to see Lu Duan.

"Lord Xuanlu come in."

Guo Zongxun rubbed his ears and sighed...... Why don't the heroines of the rivers and lakes respect the prince of Da Zhou at all, the husband is not happy.

"Chen Lu Duan see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Lord Lu is here, what's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone in the Liao State Mission has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and the fake Brother Yelu has committed suicide by taking poison."

"Lone knows, tomorrow at noon, these Liao dogs will all be escorted to the execution ground, and in front of the people of Kaifeng, their dogs' heads will be cut off, and they will say that this is for the emperor's army."

Lu Duan didn't understand a little, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly be ruthless to the Liao State Mission, didn't he say that he would detain them for a period of time first?

Besides, the emperor has been on the expedition for more than ten days, which banner will be sacrificed at this time?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has some doubts, I don't know if to ask?"

"You ask, but Lone won't necessarily answer you."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how did you conclude that this Liao State envoy is not Brother Yelu Hua himself?"

"This question, Lone can't tell you the right answer, but Lone can tell you a correct answer, the real Brother Yelu has been caught and killed by Lone."

"Nachen has no problem with this, then, what should the Northern Han Mission do?"

"On the side of the Northern Han mission, continue to talk, tell them the report of our Great Zhou Heavenly Soldiers attacking the Liao State, and warn them not to act rashly, once they dare to act rashly, our Zhou State will definitely gather a large army again to pacify them."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, wouldn't this leak my Great Zhou's military aircraft?"

"It's a military plane, this is Yangmou, it's a deterrent, my father left Han Tong, Cao Bin and Shi Shouxin to Gu, those are all generals who can lead troops, and I can gather 300,000 troops again in every county of Dazhou within fifteen days, this is all written in Qin Li's book."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, forgive the ministers for their courage, then what Qin Lishu said, don't believe it."

"Definitely, this Qin Li is a talent, do you know why Lone has not killed him all the time? It's not time yet......"

Guo Zongxun actually hoped that the Northern Han would jump up and stab, in that case, he could quickly gather an army of 100,000 troops, hand it over to Shi Shouxin, and send him to garrison the Northern Han border.

As for Kaifeng City, it was just right to transfer Cao Bin to take over the front division of the palace, and Han Tong would continue to stay in the guard division.

In that case, the 40,000 forbidden troops in Kaifeng City will all be in the hands of Guo Zongxun.

If you want to say whether Shi Shouxin will rebel, Guo Zongxun believes that Shi Shouxin himself, he doesn't have the guts.

"The minister knows, and the minister retires."

"Wait, you go and inform Lord Wei and Lord Wang, as well as Lord Qiu from the Ministry of Industry, and say that there is something wrong with them."

Lü Duan retired, and soon, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu and Qiu Zhangpu came to the Prince's East Palace successively.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The three adults are exempt from courtesy, and they are looking for you to learn about the situation of my Great Zhou Craftsman Division, the current situation of craftsmen, the management rules of craftsmen, the level management of craftsmen, and the salaries of craftsmen...... In short, as long as it is about craftsmen, you must know it. ”

Qiu Zhangpu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is still up to the old minister......

Listening to Qiu Zhangpu's report, Guo Zongxun's brows became tighter and tighter.

Pity these skilled craftsmen, there are still craftsmen who are buried.

The emperors of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms did not serve for a long time, but as soon as they ascended the throne, they began to build mausoleums for themselves.

Once the mausoleum is repaired and the emperor is not overthrown, all the craftsmen involved in the construction of the mausoleum will be killed.

This also includes Guo Rong, whose mausoleum is currently under construction and is almost complete.

After completion, the fate of these craftsmen ......

There are also craftsmen in the craftsman's house, who are making horseshoes for the army day and night, the task has been completed, and no one dares to let them out without the order of Emperor Guo Rong.

Although Guo Rong listened to Guo Zongxun's advice and ordered to treat these craftsmen well, now it seems that Guo Rong's intention is only to treat them well during the period when they are building the horseshoe.

In this regard, Guo Zongxun was very speechless and angry, this is simply digging his own grave.

The funeral system was not completely abolished until the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty.

The funeral system included many, not only craftsmen, but also women, servants, and slaves.

Craftsmen represent the first germ of technology, only the top craftsmen are qualified to serve the royal family, and at the same time, because of this hateful funeral system, generations of top craftsmen have been killed.

The 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization is not without the birth of science and technology, nor is it without the possibility of industrial development.

The germination of science and technology, the promotion of productive forces, literati are not good, military generals are not good, only on the basis of excellent craftsmen can it be possible to take root and sprout, thrive.

But it was forcibly destroyed by ignorant feudal ideas over and over again.

The wildfire blows inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

The problem is that this wildfire is the everlasting lamp in the temple of every feudal dynasty, and it always burns in the gloomy hall.

This is an unavoidable stain on the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization......

Big stain.

Fatal stain.
