Before, Han Jiang respectfully took a bite to stay in the office.

Now, old man.

Liuzheng had nothing to say, he escaped and came back a little unable to raise his head in front of Han Jiang.

Han Jiang poked his finger at Liuzheng's waist a few times: "Old Liutou, if you don't leave, you will be the second-in-command of the court now, and the Privy Council is the envoy." When you come back this time, you said that they would give you some officials, and you lost it. ”

Han Jiang is a junior, and there are no outsiders here.

I don't pretend to be left.

Confession.

"The old man was so scared that he didn't even dare to go home."

Han Jiang smiled and handed over a document and asked, "Now, Uncle Liu." ”

An uncle made the two a lot closer.

Liuzheng took the document and opened it, this is the standard document format of the Great Song Household Department, but there is no leader, no project, and no specifications.

That is, except for the necessary numbers, there is no such thing as whose data it is, what it is, and what measure it is based on.

Han Jiang stretched out his hand and pointed: "The Jiankang Army is a secret warehouse, and it is Ge Yi who knows that Tianfu or Jiankang Mansion is known at the moment." This thing is salt, and the unit of calculation is material. ”

One material is a standard unit of calculation on a ship.

One material is equal to 0.325 tons before Han Jiang's crossing.

Liuzheng kneaded the piece of paper, tore it again, and sat in the carriage and tore it little by little, each piece was torn very small, and he was thinking about it while tearing it.

His own son-in-law, this is not an ordinary relationship, it is his own daughter-in-law.

Nearly 80,000 materials of salt, which is almost the volume of 500 materials and 200 ships, according to the number of transport ships of the Jiankang Army's naval division, it can be said that all of them are transporting salt.

80,000 materials, converted to nearly 500,000 quintals of salt.

Liuzheng asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I want to exchange this salt for money, but I can't change it on Huainan East Road, because there are warehouses at Yushan Wharf and Pingjiang as well. I want to transport this salt to the northwest, how to transport it to the northwest smoothly, this is what Uncle Liu, you have to help think. ”

Liuzheng understands that the route is what is secondary, the key is that a large number of transport ships go north from the Yangtze River, and then turn to the Han River, which needs a reason.

A reason to coax the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to pass the test even if it is coaxing.

You can't use the smuggler of salt.

They carry dozens of loads, and at the most large ones, hundreds of loads.

These smugglers all add up, and 30,000 quintals of salt a year is considered their ability.

Here are half a million quintals of salt.

It's really not easy to transport it to the northwest without some means.

Liuzheng asked, "Are you going to Western Xia?" ”

"Or else?"

It is also true that many wars between the Song and Western Xia in the Bianliang Dynasty were caused by salt, and the Western Xia lacked tea, rice, cloth, and iron, and only had a lot of salt. The Qingbai salt of the Western Xia was a source of external income for the Western Xia for a long time, and the Great Song Dynasty banned the trade of Qingbai salt many times during the Bianliang period.

Qingbai salt is definitely the top priority of Western Xia's income.

Liuzheng used to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he also knew some about this information, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Isn't it too much, as far as I know, the official amount that Western Xia gives to the Jin State every year is 100,000 Hu, plus the illegal salt sold is more than 20,000 Hu, you can transport 500,000 stone over, is it appropriate?" ”

Two and one stone.

Han Jiang: This is equivalent to one million pieces of salt.

Han Jiang replied: "What is salt?" In Guanlong is money. ”

"That's right."

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty forbade the inflow of salt from the party, but did not make sufficient preparations, so that there was not enough salt to eat in the Guanlong area. The party members will give salt to many upper tribes, and as long as you attack the Song people, you will have salt.

Because of this, the Great Song Dynasty suffered a huge loss.

Liuzheng said that he understood: "Leave this matter to the old man, I'll help you get it, see if you can provoke the contradiction between the Jin State and the Western Xia, it is best to fight, and if you can't fight, let them form a little revenge, according to me, if Lintao faces the attack of the main force of the Jin State, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold." ”

"It's up to Xin Qiji."

"Yes." Liuzheng also understands that it is useless to worry about this matter, it depends on how Xin Qiji operates.

For the Jin Kingdom, Lintao City belongs to the marginal area of the Tiangao Emperor, and the huge investment in combat is not necessarily a good thing.

Liuzheng asked again: "I'm afraid that your father will go to Jinzhongdu, it's also a plan." ”

"This, hehe." Han Jiang didn't answer, and he couldn't answer this matter.

Liuzheng smiled and didn't ask again.

Han Yanxuan did go to the Jin Kingdom to dig a pit, but this pit was not the Jin Country that was to be buried.

Another day passed.

Kim Zhongdu.

This time, there was no contact from Li Xi'er, and Wan Yanxiang directly found Han Yanxuan.

Not in the official yamen, not in the Yingbin Garden, nor in Wan Yan Xiang's mansion, it was a green building in Jinzhongdu, and Wan Yan Xiang chartered the green building to entertain Han Yanxuan and the attaché of the Song Mission.

The petty officials of the Jin and Song dynasties had fun.

Wan Yanxiang and Han Yanxuan were in the small room on the top floor, a pot of tea, four plates of snacks, some of the two chatted, even if they didn't talk about business, they could talk together, they were both people with status, and they were also powerful people with status.

Wan Yanxiang knows very well that Li Xi'er wants to become a person like Han Yanxuan in Dajin.

The idea is ridiculous.

Li Xi'er, what kind of thing are you, and you deserve to be compared with the Han family in Lin'an.

After Yan Xiang and Han Yan gossiped for a while, Wan Yan Xiang began to go to the topic: "My Dajin and Song Kingdom have been at peace for thirty years. ”

"Ahh Han Yanxuan nodded: "Yes, it's always good not to fight." ”

Is it really peaceful?

No, the border conflict is very serious, and when hundreds of people are killed or alive, the courts on both sides of Song and Jin should only be invisible.

As long as there is no national war, it is peace.

Wan Yanxiang said again: "I have a lot of gold, and last year, in order to deal with the Song Kingdom, I spent 40 million yuan on the border. You Song Guo is afraid that there are also 80 million guan, of course, there is half of what is actually spent on the border army. ”

Han Yanxuan laughed: "Indeed, my Great Song Dynasty spent 80 million yuan on military spending last year, but we still have the south, and your Jin country also has the north." ”

Wan Yanxiang also laughed a few times: "It's better to withdraw the troops and choose the land of the Huai River first, or it may reduce the military expenditure by tens of millions." ”

Han Yanxuan laughed dryly: "Xiangguo, don't you despise me Han Yanxuan?" ”

Wan Yanxiang laughed a few times: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Han Yanxuan stretched out three fingers: "There are three major crises in your country, I don't know how much Xiangguo can be the master of state affairs?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Han Yanxuan smiled indifferently: "If I talk about the three major crises in your country, if I talk about it well and truthfully, I must put forward conditions." ”

"Tell me, I'm in charge."

Wanyan Xiang still has this self-confidence, the Wanyan family he represents at this time, the great nobles of the Jin country, he can be the master of some things.

Han Yanxuan didn't hurry to speak, and asked again: "This crisis is over, if the treasure has fallen into your hands, what guarantee can you give me?" ”

Wan Yanxiang directly put his own Xiangguo's Xiangyin on the table and pushed it in front of Han Yanxuan.
