Wanyan Uguru is undergoing a transformation from a teenager to an adult.

Winter in the woods is beginning to come.

The snowflakes and the wind are not cold together.

It's like goose feathers slowly fluttering down and landing on people's heads, almost insensitive.

More than a thousand Wanyan people went to the north, and there was not much time for them, and once it really came to the season of the storm, the jungle was no longer suitable for travel, let alone fighting, and even horses could not walk. If you don't stay in a building that can block the wind and snow, you won't be able to survive the night.

Gan Qi lived in a tent and sat around the fire, knowing that it was only winter at this time, and in some time, the temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius would be enough to freeze everything, including the extremely hardy Jurchens.

The land of Yanyun has been very chaotic recently, bandits are everywhere, and food prices are still high. Compared with the suppression of thieves, it is more important to run Yanyun into an iron plate, which is the most important foundation of Yelu Yixin.

Because Yelu Yixin felt that he was in danger, he even slowly locked down the mastermind behind the scenes, that is, the crown prince Yelu Jun, who is also the eldest son of Emperor Yelu Hongji. Although Yelu Yixin did not have real and conclusive evidence, he felt that the crown prince Yelu Jun was behind his back.

The reason is very simple, because Yelu Yixin is also surnamed Yelu, and Yelu Yixin is now the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, with a high position and power, and the generals under his command are like clouds. It is a threat to the imperial power, and it is also a threat to the crown prince.

Of course, this kind of thing is traditional in Liao.

And the person who can plan such a big thing behind the scenes, the court can't find anyone, and if you think about it, you will be the prince. Because this crown prince Yelu Jun is the only son of Yelu Hongji, the only son of no one and any competitors, no other prince can guard against it, and it will be guarded against Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Court.

The rebellion of the king of the North and South Courtyards is a lesson from the past, and even in the martial arts stories of later generations, Xiao Feng in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon has also faced this kind of thing.

All over Yanyun, they are suppressing bandits, and the thieves in the mountains and mountains are really difficult to suppress, especially before these people entered the mountains, they also brought a lot of food, which is even more difficult to suppress.

In particular, the big thieves and cattle in the east, who have money and food, are not only difficult to suppress, but even more and more, countless roadside begging people are going to the east, and even many people in the rivers and lakes are going to the east.

The most important thing is to block those who go to join the bandits everywhere, and countless soldiers and men have set up blockages on various roads to block those who go to join the bandits and prevent the bandits from getting bigger and bigger.

Gan Qi, who finished the Yan Division, became more and more anxious as the time passed, because the snow became heavier and heavier as time passed, and it was impossible for him to stay in the Yan Department for the winter, and he had to go back out of the jungle.

So Gan Qi began to get anxious, and even sent one or two Jurchens north from time to time to inquire about the news, but the jungle was vast and sparsely populated, and there was no news.

Ganba, a bodybuilder, was shirtless in the snow, repeatedly moving a large rock, boiling his body, and following Uguru, who had just become an adult, he also found a stone weighing more than 100 pounds, and learned to boil Ganba.

After the two of them finished boiling their bodies, their whole bodies were steaming, and they took the meat and feasted on it.

"It's back!"

"Wanyan is back."

Shouts erupted.

Gan Qi excitedly rushed out of the tent, looked far away, and saw nothing.

Uguru quickly climbed a tree, overjoyed, and in the forest at the end of his vision, a figure appeared, and Uguru hurriedly shouted to Ganqi: "Boyiaha, a lot of Boyiaha, victory, victory." Wanyan is victorious. ”

Ganchi had already found his horse, turned on his horse, and led Uguru to meet him.

The procession stretched in the snow, and there was no end in sight to the slaves strung together and tied.

Wanyan Ugunai walked at the front of the queue, he didn't wear iron armor, but everyone around him wore iron armor. Such a leader does not wear iron armor himself when he goes into battle, but gives iron armor to others. The reason why the small Wanyan Department can rise is probably in these details.

Ganchi and Ugunai greeted each other with a smile and exchanged pleasantries. It's just that each speaks their own words, and neither of them understands the other's words, but it doesn't prevent the two from looking at each other and laughing.

Uguru hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and then said to Gan Qi with a smile: "My master, there is no Tie Li, there are 1,200 men, and there are many, many women and children. ”

After finishing the Yan Ministry, he won the battle and completely defeated the Tieli Ministry. Relying on sophisticated weapons, dozens of sets of iron armor, and a hundred hard bows, Wanyanbu has completely risen in this jungle, and there is no more powerful tribe than Wanyanbu for hundreds of miles nearby.

"I only need eight hundred." Gan Qi looked at this scene, and also knew that Wanyan was about to rise.

Gan Qi actually had some worries in his heart at this time, faint worries. These Jurchens are too capable of fighting, as long as they have weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.

If there were really thousands of Jurchen iron armor, this would be unthinkable. Gan Qi knew that this would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect that because of himself, it would happen decades in advance.

Fortunately, the Liao State today is much stronger than the Liao State a few decades later.

Today's birth girl is really strong, so strong that she is almost invincible. After the founding of the Jin State, there are no real jungle Jurchens in the army, but most of them are Han people, grassland people, Khitan people, Xi people, Bohai people, etc., all kinds of things.

The combat effectiveness of this kind of army is much worse than that of an army composed entirely of raw Jurchens.

Perhaps, at this time, the sudden rise of the birth of Jurchen is still a good thing for Gan Qi to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. As long as the Wanyan Department rises, the direct enemy it faces is the Liao people in Huanglong Mansion and Ningjiang Prefecture, and the Wanyan Department will be a nightmare for the Liao people.

Thinking of this, after Gan Qi accepted the eight hundred Jurchen men, he did not ask for the fifty sets of iron armor back. Even when Wanyan Wugunai wanted to return Ganqi's iron armor, Ganqi refused and gave it to Wanyan Wugunai directly.

Gan Qi wanted Wanyan to go to war with the Liao State.

Maybe you don't need Gan Qi to hope, and you don't need to take the initiative. The Liao people will take the initiative to come to the door, because in this jungle, the Liao people do not allow such a powerful tribe as Wanyan to exist.

asked for 800 young people, and Wanyan Wugunai also gave some women and children.

Gan Qi packed up his things and left, not stopping at all. Because he was afraid of the blizzard, he couldn't get out of this place, and he really had to stay in the jungle and be a king of the jungle.

Uguru wept and turned back three times, reluctantly following Ganchi in a southeasterly direction.

The two roads in Hebei were slightly controlled and Gan Qi recruited an army of 1,000 savages.

This is not a big deal, and it is not even a trivial matter to make such a big official position under the strategic control of the two routes, to take charge of the important military and political affairs of one place, and to recruit an army of thousands of people.

When Ganqi crossed the Bohai Sea again, it was the time when the cold air mass from the north was heading south, and the ship was like the wind and carried dozens of large ships to Cangzhou.

When I got off the boat, the first thing I did was to quickly write a letter to the emperor of Bianliang and make a brief report on the recent affairs of Yanyun and the two roads in Hebei.

Then, Gan Qi was not in a hurry to return to the border of Xiongzhou, but began to train the 1,000th Jurchen soldiers, basic queues, basic battlefield commands, drumming charges, and Mingjin to collect troops......

I also need horses, Ganchi lacks horses, and I have to find a way to get horses.

A thousand sets of iron armor, Gan Qi has. Weapons, Gan Qi also has them, and the bow and crossbow are a little lacking, but the entire Hebei and Hebei roads are under control, and these thousand good bows and crossbows are indispensable.

Uguru was appointed by Ganqi as the deputy commander of this thousand people, named the trap camp, Uguru was the deputy commander of the battalion, and the battalion commander was Ganba.

After the Jurchen affair was almost over, Gan Qi went to Xiongzhou.

When he arrived in Dexiong Prefecture, the first thing he did was to open a field, and Gan Qi himself settled in the field and monopolized the operation.

He had too many supplies in his hands, food, cloth, salt, tea, everything.

Yanyun merchants, who knew that Xiongzhou Rongchang had begun to sell grain, cloth, salt and tea again, flocked to it.

It's just local businessmen, gritting their teeth and scolding. Such a good opportunity to make money, the economic envoy actually monopolized it alone.

The letters of complaint are like snowflakes.

The new emperor Zhao Shu may also be a little stressed.

But Gan Qi can't manage so much, the entire field is surrounded by Di Qing's faction, and this business has to be monopolized by Gan Qi himself, because he has used out millions of dollars, and he has to earn back a little capital.

Gan Qi personally sat in the middle of the arena and saw merchants coming from Yanyun one by one.

"The villain Li Sida, I have seen the Jingluo Xianggong." Li Sida, not young, forty or fifty years old, already has gray hair, two goatees are meticulously groomed, and there is excitement on his face, he is the first batch of people who know that Xiongzhou Rongchang began to sell salt, tea, cloth and grain, he knows that he is going to get rich.

Even when he saw the team of armor soldiers behind Gan Qi, all of them looking fierce and vicious, Li Sida didn't feel scared at all, and just wanted to get rich quickly.

"What are you going to buy?" Gan Qi was drinking tea, and with the charcoal stove under his feet, it began to snow heavily in Hebei, and the weather was freezing.

"The villain mainly wants to buy grain, followed by cloth." Li Sida said respectfully, winter is coming, and what Yan Yun needs most is these two things.

Gan Qi nodded: "Well, grain can be sold, what price do you offer?" ”

Li Sida asked tentatively: "The grain villain is willing to give two runs and one stone." ”

Gan Qi was noncommittal, but asked again: "What is the price of Yanyun's grain now?" ”

"Back to Xianggong, Yanyun's grain is now also in the middle of the two." Li Sida was playing tricks, he thought Gan Qi didn't know.

"Really? Only in the early stages? Why did I hear that Yanyun's grain prices have exceeded three times? ”

"Xianggong, there are no things, they are all rumors, if the price of food can break through the three times, how can the people live?"

"Bold, how dare you deceive the envoy in person, come to someone, and take this person to prison." Gan Qi shook the big red official robe that he hadn't worn for a long time, majestic.

The fierce gods on the left and right have already stepped forward.

Li Sida hurriedly knelt down and said: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry, the villain is guilty, the villain should not be open-mouthed, please calm the anger." ”

Gan Qi raised his hand slightly, and the fierce gods on the left and right retreated, and then said: "As for the price of grain, it is better to say, if you want to get rich, it is not impossible." Don't say two runs and one stone, I can always sell you five thousand stones. ”

Li Sida was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Xianggong, what Xianggong said is true?" ”

"Take it seriously."

Li Sida has already kowtowed again and again: "The villain worships the great kindness of the Prime Minister, and the villain also represents the people of Yanyun who are hungry and clothed to thank the Prime Minister for his great kindness." ”

"You want to make this money, but it's not that easy." Gan Qi is now more and more proficient in handling people.

The high grain price of Yanyun will continue to be maintained for a while, but Gan Qi also knows that it will not last long, because when the new grain is planted from the land in the next year, the grain price will inevitably plummet. Wheat can be planted in winter and harvested in late spring, but now it is winter, and soon after the turn of the year, new wheat will grow.

Gan Qi has to sell the goods, at least before Xinmai comes out, to earn the capital back. The price of Yanyun's grain can fall, because the thieves have already risen, and the next thing is to raise thieves.

Whoever will raise it will naturally be Gan Qi who will raise it, giving food and weapons. As soon as spring begins, Ma Niu will have to wreak havoc on the state capital, so let's grab a few cities from him first. Ganchi was even willing to help him grab a handful.

Just wait for the beginning of spring, and the northern Wanyan Jurchen has also risen.

Ganqi's side will start to make moves this winter, and the overall situation has taken shape.

"I don't know what the villain needs to do?" Li Sida asked anxiously, as long as the grain that has always been five is transported to Yanyun, it will be a lot of business.

"Simple, I want a horse, do you dare to carry it? A good horse, even if you count eighty yuan, can be exchanged for the usual five-day stone of grain. Ganchi threw out a huge advantage.

Horses are in the Great Song Dynasty, the price is very expensive, even in Xiongzhou, a good horse can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan, if it is transported to the south, it is easy to pay more than 100 yuan. The horses of this era, in the Great Song Dynasty, were like Ferrari Lamborghini in later generations of cars. It is normal to be more than ten times more expensive than cattle.

But horses are in Liao, so they are not so expensive, even if they are good horses and war horses, they can't be sold for forty or fifty yuan, this is still in Yanyun, if it is on the grassland, it is even less worth the price.

So smuggling horses is a big business in itself. It's just that there are very few people who dare to do this brainless business. On the border of Liao, the control of horses is strictly guarded.

But it doesn't mean that no one dares to do this business, good war horses, there are still transactions at the border, and there are still people who smuggle at the risk of killing their heads.

It's just that I don't know if this Li Sida in front of me dares or not.

The price offered by Gan Qi was eighty yuan per horse, and he could exchange it for the usual grain of five thousand stones. As long as a horse is transported to the Great Song Dynasty, it will earn dozens of guan in a row, and then the grain exchanged for the horse will be transported back to earn dozens of guan. That's almost a business with a profit of three or four hundred percent.

After Gan Qi said this, he kept looking at Li Sida. Money often unmakes the men who make it. A great man named Marx said that as long as the profit reaches 100 percent, the capitalists will take risks. As long as the profit reaches 200 percent, the capitalist will flout the law, and as long as the profit reaches 300 percent, then the capitalist will trample on everything in the world.

At this time, it is time to examine whether the great man Marx is right or not.

Li Sida hesitated for a long time and asked, "I don't know how many horses Xianggong wants?" ”

"One horse is not too little, and a thousand horses is not too much." Gan Qi was not in a hurry, he was going to say such a thing to all the Yanyun merchants who came to see him. It's okay to bring one, it's okay to bring ten or eight horses, and if you bring more, it's even better.

Ganchi wanted at least a thousand warlike horses.

"So...... The villain went back and gave it a try. Li Sida said, he didn't dare to pack the ticket, but it was okay to give it a try, now that Yanyun is in chaos, there are thieves everywhere, in fact, there are still loopholes to exploit, smuggle a few horses to test the water first.

"Alright, you go out and call the next one in!" Gan Qi was very satisfied, and the next one would inevitably be such a conversation.
