Regarding Fan Yu and Guo Xi's Q&A, Yelu Chongyuan and Cao Fu were confused, but they knew that it was a country far away.

Cao Fu couldn't help asking: "Since Shopkeeper Guo has been to these places, can you tell more about what you have seen and heard about these places in the future?" ”

"Don't hide it from a few nobles, although I have been to these places, I am only a casual observer." Guo Xi glanced at Fan Yu and became a little more restrained, "There are also merchants in the Song Kingdom who have been to these places, but because of the Western Xia barrier, it is not so easy to communicate with each other. ”

Fan Yu said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the heavy taxes imposed by Western Xia on these caravans in the Western Regions that I want to do business with His Highness." Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to do business with Western Xia. ”

"Not necessarily." Yelu Chongyuan said: "All the goods of our Liao Kingdom, they may not have them in Western Xia. Liaodong mountain ginseng and fur in the far north are not available in Western Xia. Even cattle, sheep and horses, Western Xia is far inferior to my Da Liao. I saw that the goods needed by An Lehou also accounted for a considerable amount of cattle and sheepskins. Instead of buying the cattle and sheepskins of Western Xia, where is the amount of cattle and sheepskins of my Liao country is large and cheap. ”

"Your Highness seems to have worked hard, but he can't hide it from you." Fan Yu smiled and hugged the other party a little.

Yelu Chongyuan pointed at Guo Xi and said: "This is all the credit of Guo's shopkeeper, and he also thinks that the business in this world is the most cost-effective between my Liao State and the Song Kingdom." ”

Fan Yu thought about it, and it was really the truth. The most stable and wealthiest around the Great Song Dynasty was only the Liao State. And the richest around the Liao State is only the Great Song Dynasty.

"What His Royal Highness said to Shopkeeper Guo is good, since this understanding, I believe that His Highness must have this sincerity." Fan Yu said with a smile: "Then please ask Your Highness to prepare more goods, if there are not many goods except fur, ginseng, cattle and sheep, you can also sell iron ingots, copper ingots, earth nitrate and other things to my Great Song Dynasty." As far as I know, Da Liao is not lacking in these two things. ”

Fan Yu also did his homework when he came. There were not many iron ores in the Great Song Dynasty, but the Liao State, which occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, occupied all the iron ores in the Central Plains. As for soil nitrate, the grassland of Liao is also one of the important production areas of soil nitrate in later generations.

Not to mention copper, the Great Song Dynasty is already making a money shortage, and if there is copper, it can be used directly as money.

And these few things are important raw materials for Da Song.

Guo Xi said at this time: "Master Hou, copper is also very important to our Da Liao, but I am afraid that it will not be sold to the Song Kingdom." ”

Yelu Chongyuan also knew the severity, nodded and said: "The other two things mentioned by An Lehou are okay, but copper cannot be sold to the Song Kingdom. Although His Majesty didn't say anything about this, I also know that this copper can be minted into copper coins and sold to the Song Kingdom, but it is not worth it. ”

Fan Yu just said it, but since the other party promised the other two things, he also achieved his goal.

"Well, it's up to Your Highness." Fan Yu nodded with a smile and said, "When His Highness prepares the goods, our envoy team will return south together." ”

Some details were agreed, and Fan Yu and Cao Fu returned to the Song Embassy under the escort of Di Qing and Yang Wenguang, who had already returned.

After sending Fan Yu and the others away, Guo Xi said to Yelu Chongyuan: "Your Highness, although this An Le Hou is not very old, he is not a character to be underestimated. ”

"He is the Hou Ye, where is his identity, how can he be underestimated." Yelu Chongyuan didn't think so.

"What the little one said did not refer to his identity. This person's insight is not simple. Guo Xi was a little worried: "He actually knows about the Roman Empire in the far west, so it can be seen that this person's vision is unusual." Doing business with such a person, don't be harmed by him. ”

Yelu Chongyuan couldn't help waving his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Guo, you can rest assured and boldly go to Bianliang with him." When the goods are handed over to him, they must first set the price, and the goods will be considered his. You go with him to Bianliang, and then give the money into your hands. It's up to you what you want to buy. Do you feel uneasy about doing this? But when you think about it, what's not the same. Could it be that he is happy with the goods and does not want to sell them in Liao. ”

Guo Xi nodded and said, "The little one understands, this is all the connections of the nobles, not ordinary traders." ”

"Well, you can go and prepare with confidence." Yelu Chongyuan smiled.

"Yes." Guo Xi also retired and left.

Yelu Chongyuan was proud, and then entered the palace to see Yelu Zongzhen. These truths are not something that a person as big as him can see, but his elder brother Yelu Zong can really see it.

For Fan Yulai Yelu Chongyuan to do some business, Yelu Zongzhen also had the intention of using it, and the imperial brother was just his agent.

But what he didn't know was that half of Fan Yu's business was from the Great Song official family.

Fan Yu's trip to Liaoguo is tantamount to tearing a big hole in the mutual market between the two sides at the semi-official level.

As for what kind of role it can play in the future, it is mostly beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty. Unless the Great Song Dynasty himself is not angry, it will not take many years to be able to suck the Liao State dry.

The next day, not long after Fan Yu got up, someone came to report that there were two aliens outside the embassy who asked to see him.

Fan Yu thought about it, and then he remembered that it should be Geril and Huslen.

"Bring someone in." Fan Yu commanded.

Soon, Geril and Huslen were brought to Fan Yu.

When Ge Rile saw Fan Yu, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the ground, "Yesterday I offended the nobles, and I wanted to use the nobles to prevent disasters for me, but I really can't stand the nobles." Come here today, I specially admit my mistake to the nobles, and ask the nobles to ignore the villains. ”

"By the way, I will pay you the money for the two horses?" Fan Yu asked with a smile.

Hu Silen's face immediately turned red, and his face was still tender.

Geril's face remained as usual, and he just smiled dryly: "Don't hide it from the nobles, if those two horses are my own, it is nothing to give them to the nobles." But that's my mother's tribe, and I don't dare give it away. ”

Fan Yu heard this guy mention his mother twice, obviously valuing the identity of his tribe.

"Just kidding you, if I want to take your horse, I will have you both put you in prison yesterday." Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "Geril, you seem to be loyal, but in fact you are a little treacherous. When something happened, we were actually pushed out to prevent the disaster. The price of the horses has been agreed, and I will not give you a gold tael less. However, should you also give me an explanation? ”

Fan Yu is not embarrassed by the other party, this is a lesson for the other party. No matter what, he is also the marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, and he let a guy of another race be pitted, and this tone still has to be smooth.

Geril originally wanted to mix it up with a shy face, but at this time he was a little embarrassed.

"We only accept twenty taels of gold, can you uncover this matter?" Nahuslen asked.

"As I said, I won't give you a tael of gold." Fan Yu shook his head and said.

This made it difficult for Geril and Hu Silen, they thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of anything else to explain to Fan Yu except gold.

Geril hesitated: "If I give you another horse, can you?" ”

"Do you really think I am a nobleman, thinking that I lack you one or two horses?" Fan Yu couldn't help but sneer.

"Yesterday, I listened to the question and answer between the noble man and the Liao soldiers, and the noble man seems to be from the Song Kingdom. The Song Kingdom is short of horses, if I can sell a large number of horses to the nobles, is this sincerity enough? Geril said with some enlightenment.
