Listening to these gossips is just Fan Yu's own hobby.

But you can also get some inspiration from it, and there are some real personal character performances of Emperor Yelu Sect of Liao, which are also valuable.

"This Liao Emperor is also a man of temperament." Fan Yu nodded, and said, "My Great Song Dynasty and the border city of Liaoguo, how did you come to see it." In my Great Song Dynasty, the prime ministers believe that although the Great Song Dynasty gives the Liao State New Year's currency every year, the profits in the border market are also quite high, and I am afraid that they have already earned back. But I don't know what the real situation of Liao is. ”

Hearing Fan Yu say this, Liu Liufu couldn't help laughing, as if he couldn't help it.

Fan Yu looked at this guy coldly, a little presumptuous.

After being stared at by Fan Yu for a moment, Liu Liufu finally felt uncomfortable, so he put away his laughter.

"Master Hou, the princes in the Great Song Dynasty are just putting gold on their faces." Liu Liufu shook his head and said: "Since the Liao and Song Dynasty formed the alliance of Lanyuan and each other, they have become brotherly states, and five major fields have been opened. Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Ansu Army, and Guangxin Army are four of the Song Dynasty's Yongchang, and there is also a Xincheng Rongchang in Liao. At the beginning, Song money flowed into Daliao in large quantities. In the past, the Liao Kingdom had little Song money, and most of them bartered, or traded a part of Song money and a small amount of gold and silver. However, after the opening of the farm, cattle, sheep, camels, and furs were sold to the Great Song Dynasty, and a lot of Song money was obtained. So much Song money entered the Liao State, which made the Liao State trade much more prosperous. As a result, Da Liao entered its heyday. And the Song State, although it claims to make a profit of 400,000 taels of silver from the Liao State Market every year, most of them are living creatures. And most of these living creatures are sick and are intended to be discarded, and they will not live long. Moreover, the Liao State still sells Liao salt in the field, but it is much cheaper than in the Song Dynasty. ”

"Master Hou, think about it, can this also be called a profit?" Liu Liufu said with a sneering look on his face.

After Fan Yu listened, he really wanted to slap the table. A group of wrecks who don't know the way of the economy are still complacent and complacent to show their merits. Give away the New Year's coins for nothing, and then be cheated again in the border market transactions, and just put gold on your face like this, it's just damned.

Now that the cowhide has been punctured by Liu Liufu, Fan Yu also feels dull on his face.

Fan Yu looked at Liu Liufu, who was a little proud, and said lightly: "What do you make you happy about?" Don't forget, you are now a fine work of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are also a member of the Great Song Dynasty. If you have any good advice, please let me know. If not, put away your face. ”

was reprimanded by Fan Yu twice, and Liu Liufu also remembered that he also wrote a letter of allegiance to the official family of the Great Song Dynasty. got on the ship of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible to think about it again. Nowadays, everyone stirs spoons in a pot, and they always have to make some effort.

Liu Liufu accepted the look of ridicule, pondered for a while, and then said: "Master Hou can suggest that the official family strictly control the living creatures and diseases in the field to prevent losses. And it is necessary to barter as much as possible to prevent Song money from flowing into the Liao State. In addition, the left side of the field should open its own salt market in the Great Song Dynasty to prevent Liao salt from entering the Song Dynasty. ”

Fan Yu thought about it for a while, and that's all Da Song could do at the moment. However, the Great Song Dynasty salt and iron tea alum are all monopolies, and it is not possible to open a salt market near the field to fight a price war with the Liao State.

"Based on what you have seen and heard in the market of Nanjing, Liaoguo, or the market of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty, which one is more prosperous." Fan Yu looked at Liu Liufu Dao.

"Naturally, the Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty is more prosperous, and there are more hedonistic things." Liu Liufu couldn't help but praise: "When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, there is no one who can be the right of Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty." Although Nanjing in Liaoguo is also good, it is not even half of Bianliang. ”

After inquiring with Liu Liufu about the customs of Liao, Fan Yu had a preliminary impression of Liao.

Although the Khitan people of Liao were born as nomads, they are now seriously sinicized. Except for the Liao Emperor, who would go out hunting every year to show that he did not forget the fundamentals, the statecraft was basically the worry of the Han people or the Khitan people who mastered the Han culture. Therefore, there are some similarities with the Great Song Dynasty in this aspect.

Liu Liufu also knew that it was impossible to dissuade Fan Yu. Fan Yu has a very strong curiosity about Liao, which can be known from the questions he asked. Moreover, Fan Yu does not seem to be a member of the Great Song Dynasty, every time he asks a question, he can get to the point, so that he does not dare to underestimate him because he is young.

As soon as the two talked, they talked for an hour and a half, and Liu Liufu said goodbye and left.

Although Fan Yu knew something about Liao, he couldn't be happy. What made him feel most ridiculous was the so-called saying that he gave Liao coins and earned back several times the profits from the trade with Liao.

However, the Great Song also had successes. That is to transmit the culture of the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State, and the words of Liu Sanchang are also very popular in the Liao State. Every time there is a popular new word in the Great Song Dynasty, it will soon be transmitted back to the Liao Kingdom. In addition, the pleasures of the Great Song Dynasty were also welcomed by the Liao State. Moreover, the Liao country worships the Buddha, and the Liao Emperor has 360,000 monks at the age of one year, and he wishes 3,000 in one day. More to "platinum hundreds of two cast two Buddha statues, inscription on its back: May future generations be born in China", "from the Son of Heaven to the Shu people, return to Futian".

It's no wonder that after a hundred and ten years, he became a difficult brother with the Great Song Dynasty, and was beaten by the newly rising Jin State.

Shaking his head, Fan Yu stopped thinking about these things that hadn't happened yet.

When I went to the western workshop the next day, the craftsmen had already made dozens of pairs of leather shoes and boots. Although there are still some improvements, they are generally not much different from later generations.

Fan Yu looked at these leather shoes and boots, and thought about how to arrange them.

Xu Shou saw Fan Yu frowning, so he asked, "Master Hou is dissatisfied with these leather shoes and leather boots?" You can gather the craftsmen and do it all over again. ”

"No, it's already good to be like this." Fan Yu shook his head, looked at Xu Shou and said, "Brother Xu, there is still something for you to do right now." That's to calculate the cost of these things, how much money is actually spent. Including working hours and material costs, they should be listed and summarized in detail. This matter must not be sloppy, it is related to the price when it is sold later. At least, we must have a bottom in our own hearts. ”

Xu Shou opened his mouth and stammered, he knew that he would arrange these things for himself, so he wouldn't ask. It's good now, An Lehou has found something to do for himself.

Just as Xu Shou was detailing the cost of Fan Yu's place, he heard someone shouting outside: "I am the general under An Lehou, which of you dares to stop me?" I want to see him! ”

Fan Yu listened to the voice and knew that this was undoubtedly Cao Fu. A little kid, before he could do anything, he claimed to be the general under him, and the sauce was almost the same, and he was a mushy brain.

"Uncle Guo, you are only a palace straight now, and you are not a general. Besides, Hou Ye also has his own affairs, how can he see you at any time. You are also in the army now, and if you want to keep military discipline, don't make trouble. This is Yang Wenguang persuading.

Fan Yu heard their voices and went out to see. Sure enough, Yang Wenguang and Di Qing were blocking Cao Fu.

"An Lehou!" When Cao Fu saw Fan Yu, he shouted with joy: "The two of them stopped me and didn't let me see you." said that he would teach me the kung fu of the battle formation, but I waited for you for a day yesterday, but I didn't have a letter. ”

Fan Yu didn't have much of a good impression of this kid, he bared his teeth and smiled: "I'll teach you now, Yang Wenguang, Di Qing, you two beat him for me, don't break it, I'll take care of it." ”

Cao Fu was in a hurry, jumped to his feet and said, "You are taking the opportunity to take revenge on me!" ”

"This is to teach you the kung fu of battle." Fan Yu smiled: "Haven't you heard anyone say that if you don't learn to beat someone, you must learn to be beaten first." You are beaten more in peacetime, and less blood is shed in wartime, I am here to save you. ”
