As Jeruliugo approached, the merchants shouted and gestured to the locals.

A basket of grass fruit for a piece of cloth.

Five baskets of comfrey or red grass for one piece of cloth.

Brother Yelu Liu grabbed a handful of grass and looked at it, he didn't understand this very well, so he asked Han Jiang: "Five baskets of grass for a piece of cloth, is this a medicinal herb?" ”

Han Jiang actually didn't understand.

Han Jiang replied: "Go with the market, the locals are satisfied, and the businessmen have earned, this is justice." There is money to earn, and when the people here are rich, they will be very happy. ”

That's right.

Yeluliuge asked, "This brother, what kind of grass is this?" ”

The merchant replied, "This is the grass used to make dye, and this kind of grass is rare, so the price is higher, and the price will be reduced when there are more." A few days ago, bluegrass was four baskets of cloth, and today it has fallen to forty baskets of cloth. ”

Jeruliuge said that he understood: "It's a lot, that's what it means." ”

"Exactly, in the west of Bijing City, all over the mountains, forty baskets for one piece of cloth is the labor cost, and the grass is no longer valuable. The best yellow grass was found again, so there was no one here to collect it. We are also calling it convenient, and what kind of dye can be made is called grass, so that the guests can laugh. ”

Brother Yelu bowed his hand lightly: "You're polite, you're welcome." ”

After walking for a while, Jeruliuge stopped: "This is the difference between you and those people on the steppe, who attack and plunder. Snatch wealth and turn people into slaves. It was also like this at the beginning of the Jin Kingdom, they didn't think about building, they only plundered. ”

"Here, for example, the wealth in the city is only a temporary wealth, but the dock is a permanent wealth. The war is about money and food, the Song family is mediocre, they only think about how to enjoy comfortably, and the suffering of the people is just an opportunity to show the benevolence of the big men, the battle of Song Liao, the battle of Song and Jin, the Song court did not think about fighting to the end at all. ”

This is reasonable, Han Jiang nodded slightly.

Yeluliuge said: "In the book of this place, it was called Jiaozhi City in the Han Dynasty. How long can you hide it? ”

Han Jiang replied: "It is already the limit to be able to conquer Jiaozhi City, you also said that the war is fought with money and grain, the limit of money and food, and the limit of manpower, although it is a strong attack in the form of a surprise attack regardless of losses, the real vicious battle has only been fought for about ten days, and the consumption of grain, grass, ordnance, and medicinal materials is already as much as seventy percent of the warehouse." ”

"What does Goryeo have?"

"Goryeo has nothing, if you look at resources, compared to other places, Goryeo is not of much value, but strategically Goryeo's location is very important, it is the gateway between the Central Plains and the Wa."

Jeruliugo said he understood: "I'll go back and start preparing and wait for the opportunity." ”

"The opportunity is in two years, so I will go to Vladivostok first, where it will freeze in winter, but how can it be navigated for half a year in a year, I need medicinal herbs and horses. You need food, iron. ”

Jeruliugo added: "And the money." ”

Han Jiang just nodded, there was no need to answer.

In the evening, after going to the dock, looking at the warehouse, and seeing the new workshop and timber yard, Han Jiang and Yeluliuge returned to Jiaozhi City.

Han Jiang found Li Er and told him about Yelu Liuge, and also told him his own thoughts.

Then he threw Yeluliuge to Li Er.

The two of them should be able to talk about the war.

Back in his own house, Han Jiang thought of what Yeluliu said during the day, how long can he hide it here.

So, what if you can't hide it?

Han Jiang really didn't think about this question, but he wrote it down, and planned to ask his father Han Yanxuan after returning to Lin'an.

At this time, a voice from outside the door interrupted Han Jiang's thinking.

Han Jiang walked to the door.

Outside the door, Qian Kuan was keeping vigil, and after Han Wu brought a supper, several people also walked here. Han Wu took the initiative to greet him.

The few who came were all generals in the army, and the lowest in the Song army were also military attachés of the fifth grade.

The first person said: "Originally, I heard that Brother Wu is not worth the night, and I was going to ask you to have a drink, but I shouted when I saw you over there just now, but you didn't hear it." ”

Han Wuyi arched his hand: "I really didn't hear it, send supper to Brother Kuan." He went out with Shaojun and didn't eat at night. ”

A military attache asked, "Brother Jiang'er is back?" But there was no palm lamp in the house. ”

"Yes. It's back. ”

"That little sound, let's go quickly."

Han Wu put down his supper and was about to leave with these people.

Originally, this matter was nothing, and Han Jiang didn't plan to listen to it anymore. But the strange thing is because one of the military attaches said something more.

I only heard the military attache say: "I heard that the martial brothers like jade carving, and our brothers found a few strange things." ”

Han Wu was about to answer, but Qian Kuan suddenly interjected: "He doesn't like it." ”

That's right.

made everyone stunned, including Han Jiang in the house.

Han Jiang s ears were on the door, he wanted to hear more, what did Qian Kuan mean suddenly.

The military attache at the head stared at Qian Kuan, Qian Kuan shook his head slightly, and then squinted his eyes into the room, and the military attache nodded and beckoned the others to leave.

This small action is naturally invisible to Han Jiang.

Han Wu felt strange, and instead of catching up, he stayed.

When these military attaches left, Han Wu hugged his fist at Qian Kuan: "Brother Kuan? ”

Qian Kuan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, sighed slightly and said, "Okay, there are some things you always have to know, if you don't understand it, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Han Wu saluted again.

Qian Kuan then said: "There is an unwritten rule in the army, which calls relatives and soldiers have no friends, and relatives are ruthless. How can I say this, you are of a different status, and you will be one of the people who will protect the Lord and the Lord. If you have a preference, someone will give you a gift, and you have made this friend by accepting the gift. ”

"Yes." Han Wu hadn't understood yet, he was listening carefully.

Qian Kuan continued: "When you have friends, it is inevitable that there will be a drinking banquet, and there will be wine when there is a banquet. I don't dare to say if drinking will make a mistake, but if I drink too much, I will talk a lot. There are some things that cannot be said, and some things that cannot be mentioned. You may not betray, but you will inevitably make mistakes, and some things will be wrong once, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of regret. ”

Han Wu understood, and bowed heavily.

He really understood.

Qian Kuan, this old ** is really extraordinary.

If the Han family is just right now, it doesn't matter if they receive gifts or money.

Han Wu is a person with status in the Han family now, and he clearly knows that the Han family will definitely change greatly, and there will be great changes in this world. Some official positions cannot be given to outsiders, while others cannot afford to make mistakes.

Even, you can't have friends.

For example, the forbidden army is in command.

This also made Han Wu think of Qian Kuan, since he had the name Qian Kuan, Qian Kuan rarely interacted with his friends in the former army, and never drank with outsiders except for drinking with those veterans who had joined him.
