The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.

The mighty Yangtze River is surging day and night, rushing to the sea and never returning.

Life is also like the water of the Yangtze River, most of the time it is also a road to the dark, and there is no chance of turning back.

If you want to change careers, it's difficult, it's difficult, it's hard.

Under the moonlight, in the middle of the river, a small boat is cross-current, the boat is not big, but the draft is very deep, and I don't know what is in the cabin, the top worker is at the helm, and the four elite men are struggling to pull the oars, moving from south to north a little bit.

Half an hour later, when the ship was about to dock, the big man who was rocking the oars stopped the momentum, and some people curled their fingers and lips and made a light whistle, and then a whistle sounded in the reeds on the left side of the shore, and then seven or eight big men came out of the grass one man high, and stood in the open space on the shore, except for one person who was carrying a small package, and the others were all raising their empty hands, indicating that they had no weapons.

Only then did the boat slowly come ashore.

"Ten taels of silver, the old rule."

When the people on the shore heard this, the man with the small parcel untied it, took out two pieces of silver from it, and stuffed them back into his bosom, and then wrapped the parcel again, and threw it far away into the boat.

"Ten taels of full scales, brother, please check."

Someone on the boat had already picked it up, counted, and checked the color of the moonlight, satisfied, then the cable flew over, the people on the shore caught it, three or two of a force, dragged the boat closer, the cable was wrapped on a big stone, someone jumped on the boat first, the color of the goods was examined, and the exclamation:

"How can there be Yongtong spring goods?"

"Just a few, the total will not be more than a thousand dollars."

The people on the boat explained: "Now this business is not easy to do, and I don't know how many boats on this big river are doing the same business, not to mention that Zhou Yuan Tongbao is difficult to find, even Song and Yuan Tongbao is difficult to find, and Xiande Tongbao is even more difficult to find. ”

The people on the shore said dejectedly: "But the spring goods will be passed forever, and the official family will not recognize it." ”

"This loss, you and I eat together, so I prepared an extra three hundred dollars, you will know when you count them, but there is one condition, this money can not be thrown away, there are words on it, and you have to use it out of ten as two."

The people on the shore laughed: "How can this be, it's not money, it's also money, my brother comes down to rest." ”

"There's no need to rest, you go on, let's unload the goods."

As the elder brother surnamed Jia said, I don't know how many such transactions have happened at night and by the river.

Since the Western Qin and Southern Tang Dynasty passed through the Zhongyuan Tongbao two years ago, those old coins have lost their usefulness, and the exchange rate of the people's bank in Jinling City is lower than that of January, and if you really want to exchange it like this, you will lose a lot of money, and then someone will touch the door on the other side, exchange the old money for silver, and then use the silver to go to the bank to exchange for new money.

With such huge profits, people who are tempted to have a little way to take risks have taken risks.

In contrast, the risk factor of the people who came from the Southern Tang Dynasty was much smaller, and most of the defenders along the river turned a blind eye, and the only thing to worry about was the smuggling ships of the Song Dynasty and the black eating on the other side.

And those people who took over in the Northern Song Dynasty had a lot to do with it, and they didn't know how much risk they had to take all the way back, in order to make the difference between the two and change their food.

If your skills are not as good as others, you will eventually suffer a big loss.

At first, the Song court did not care about the new money issued by the Western Qin and Southern Tang Dynasty, and some ministers denounced it as a miraculous skill, however, it was only half a year before Wang Renzhen, who had only been appointed as the envoy of the third department, felt the pressure like Mount Tai.

Please ask the official to issue an order to mint new money, and if you agree, you can use all your strength to solve the trick, and you can't do the delicacy of the Zhongyuan Tongbao, especially the zigzag on the edge, and the eyebrows and eyes on the portrait, you can't learn it well. What's even more terrifying is that the so-called money, silver cancan, I don't know what it is made of, but Wang Renzhen knows very well, the cost of that thing must be much lower than copper money, but the common people recognize it, and the traders like it, which is too terrible.

Technology can be studied slowly, but money must not be leaked.

On the one hand, the Song court sent people to severely reprimand the Southern Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, it closed off the country, and private business contacts were allowed, but they could only trade with Song and Yuan Tongbao, and Zhongyuan Tongbao was not allowed to enter the country.

But he didn't know that such a move made Qin Yue laugh even more, and even Li Yu's backbone was much taller and high-spirited.

Li Yu is qualified to be high-spirited.

The two countries issued a combination of the Chinese Yuan Tongbao, the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum on the coin is his masterpiece, although the copper yuan is divided into two kinds, one is the old Sejong Tongbao, the other is his portrait of Li Yu, handsome and martial.

I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, so what if I give more profits, everyone in the world knows him Li Yu, and the bronze Emperor of Western Qin, most people don't know what he looks like, that's enough.

For such a move of returning to the heart, in fact, in the Western Qin court, many people have advised them, saying that Your Majesty, you can let Li Yu go up to the statue, then at least you can have one?

Qin Yue rarely answers such a question, and it is important to bury his head in development at the moment.

In the past two years, all industries in Xiqin have flourished, commerce and trade have been accessible, and innovations have been made one after another, and the lives of the common people have become better and better day by day.

Although the southeast is in turmoil, but last year Wang Yanchao, Quan Shixiong, Shi Cheng, three ways together, one go to attack the city of Yang Tho, and Shanyan, Jianchang, Shanju, Nongdong, Weichu and other important towns have also been in the bag, at present, only the Yang family still occupies the two mansions of Moutong and Tengchong for the death struggle.

As for Meng Chang, he had already written to the court, asking the court to assist him with a bow and crossbow, and he would use Jinghao as a base to go all the way south to fight another piece of the sky.

Meng Chang's political wisdom in Yunnan has become a rebellious existence, most of the people living south of the Lancang River, are the remnants of the original Nanzhao State, Wang Zhaoyuan is persuaded to succeed with a three-inch tongue, and then, Meng Chang drove away the guards sent by Dali under the Yi warriors led by the happy department, and entered Jinghao City, seven days later, the day of marrying a wife, is the time when he ascended the throne.

Qin Yue was really surprised by his performance, Ziguang Pavilion deliberated all day, and finally gave the approval that there is armor, bows and crossbows, and copper yuan, but Jinghao's territory, I want it, and the south is not easy to fight, it is recommended to march to the southwest, fight to Bagan (Burma), and have the ability to fight Zhenla and Luo Hu, then, you are the king there, hereditary replacement.

Meng Chang was naturally overjoyed with such a reply, and in March, he led 10,000 soldiers and horses across the Nu River and marched to Bagan.

It is said that the road is like a bamboo.

The armory in Yizhou became the busiest place, because it was not only necessary to equip the three armies, support Meng Chang, and sell to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also support the distant Iron Mask King of the Western Regions.

It is transported twice a year.

The battle situation in the Western Regions was very tragic than that of Dali, because of the difference in faith in their hearts, whether it was the Qarakhanid State or the Southeast Coalition Army, they all burst out with infinite strength and courage, and they all regarded death as home.

The Iron Mask King, who wanted to keep his wealth, was dragged by the whirlpool of war and fell deeper and deeper.

In contrast, the territory of Western Qin has become a paradise on earth.

Such prosperity and stability were not available in the Northern Song Dynasty, because the Northern Song Dynasty took "sharing the world with scholars" as its national policy, and all taxes were put under pressure on ordinary people.

The people of the Central Plains are very rich, with an average of 100 acres of fertile land per household, but they can't stand the fact that the output is not proportional to the tax. Therefore, less than five years after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of people abandoning their fields and fleeing has occurred.

Such prosperity and stability, the Southern Tang Dynasty did not, although it is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the war in the early years has squeezed the oil in the fat meat almost, and now although the economy is improving, but the two ends of the tribute, the coinage right is still held by the West Qin, can only enjoy this short period of well-off.

One hundred and eighty-seven years later.

964 A.D.

Daqin Zhongxing for three years.

The second year of the Great Song Dynasty.

Autumn.

Another foreign envoy walked through the gates of Yizhou City.

The envoy of the Champa state brought a cordial greeting from the king of Baume and Yang Buyin tea, and offered gifts, including a hundred stones of fine Champa rice seeds, and two honest elephants.
