Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei and other prefectures are the four states of the nineteen states behind the mountain of Youyun, which have always been the boundaries of the Han people. Since ancient times, the Great Wall has been a barrier for the Han people to resist the nomads outside the country. It's just that it has long been taken away by the Khitans and has become the state and county of the Liao State for more than a hundred years. On the Hedong Road, there were constant border disputes between the Song and Liao, and finally the Huangwei Mountain watershed was used as the boundary before it gradually settled down.

In October of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Jin people captured Liaofeng Shengzhou, and the Jin emperor issued an edict of surrender, and the officials in Ulzhou City, Xu Xing, Tian Qing and others surrendered to the Jin people. But not long after, Tian Qing and others killed Xiao Guanning, the governor of Ulzhou, rebelled against the Jin people, and finally somehow demoted the Jin people.

And because the Jin people were in the Yunzhong area, mainly to send troops to arrest the Khitan Emperor, and the Song and Jin countries had a maritime alliance, the Jin Emperor also promised to return the Kyushu to the Great Song Dynasty after the destruction of Liao. Therefore, he ignored the four states of Shuo, Wu, Ying, and Wei that were connected with the Great Song Dynasty, and did not send troops to station.

As the prime minister, Wang Huang of course also knew that although Emperor Zhao Ji was hindered by the Wansheng army, the imperial army did not recover Youzhou and other places, and the commander of the Wansheng army, Zhou Nanna, was just a verbal comfort. However, Zhao Ji is still very satisfied, and he has to look at Shu, and he still thinks about the Kyushu such as Wu, Yun, Huan, Shuo, Ying, and Wei that have not been recovered in the north of Hedong Road, and thinks that Wanshengjun has not set foot in Hedong Road, and these days he is thinking about how to send people to the past to plan for the guards of Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei and other states to return to the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that the biggest trouble is still the Jin people in the north, who knows when those tiger wolf Jin people will lead troops to attack these state capitals?

From this, we can know how chaotic Shuo, Wu, Ying, and Wei are.

Wang Hao is not a person who opens a righteous village and does good deeds with good intentions, since the Jin people have promised, the 100,000 sheepskins will be obtained in their hands. It's just that they just send people to the border and pull them back with the Jinren. Fortunately, at this time, Wuzhou, Daizhou, Yingzhou, and Ulzhou were in the middle of the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, and they were waiting to see which side they had to throw, and the Jingfu Fang he was in charge of was specifically to investigate the affairs of the border gates and Fanbang, and Wang Huang knew these things best in his heart. Now it's just a caravan passing through Ulzhou, with his identity as the prime minister and the local manpower of Jingfufang, the guards of Ulzhou always have to see some face, right?

"My lord, the small ones have inquired, and now the goods are out of stock in Yanjing in the north, and in the northwest area, the leather clothes worn by the generals and soldiers have risen to forty! And a cooked sheepskin five dollars, I can't find the goods! Xiao Jiu'er said anxiously to Wang Hao, for fear that Wang Hao would not know the market outside and miss the opportunity. Although Xiao Jiu'er has small characters in her name, she is also in her thirties, just because she is reliable and smart, and she has served Wang Hao for more than ten years.

"You know what?!" Wang Hao snorted coldly, "That's all deliberately done by someone, taking advantage of the fact that Yanjing is out of stock, to deceive the officials and the court, otherwise how can you make more money?!" ”

Xiao Jiu'er really stopped talking, and after a pause, Wang Hao sighed, and then said again: "In the past, a cooked sheepskin cost the most money, but now it costs five or six times - it's really a lot of money!" ”

"Yes! My lord, the Jin people have promised, and sent someone to tell the adults that they must go to Ulzhou to pick up the goods in early March, which shows that the Jin people have to repay the debt. There is such a great treasure waiting there, and he will bring it back with whatever he says. Xiao Jiu'er saw that Wang Hao was also thinking that leather goods were valuable, and began to encourage Wang Hao again.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao said to his henchman Xiao Jiu'er who was standing aside: "You send a reliable and clever person, with my name, to go to Taiyuan, find Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and say that after some time, you will buy some leather goods from the people outside the Saiwai, and you will pass by Hedong and ask him to take care of the materials on your behalf." ”

"A Taiyuan prefect, where can I get the affairs of Ulzhou?" Xiao Jiu'er asked uneasily.

"This Zhang Xiaochun is the pacification envoy of Hedong, and naturally leads the affairs of Hedong. As long as he lets the bottle shape village and other anti-switch release it. "This is a real leather goods, and it is not smuggling with forbidden objects, and it is not indulging in the meticulous work of Fan, Wang Hao takes it for granted that this is just a trivial matter. Since the area from Xijing of the Liao people to the East River Road of the Great Song Dynasty, there are mostly traders who come and go to smuggle and smuggle, and the officials of the East River Road, from top to bottom, who does not know? I'm afraid that they themselves are also more or less involved.

As for the matter of picking up the goods in Ulzhou, let Cheng Zhiwu, who runs Hedong Road through Fufang, personally bring capable people and rush to Taiyuan, where he first found the person in charge of Zheng's shopkeeper and went to Ulzhou together to pick up the 100,000 pieces of leather goods. Remember to be careful along the way and don't make mistakes! Wang Hao said carefully. 100,000 catties of leather goods, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of cars, most of the Hedong Road is deep and dense, and there are no soldiers and horses in their hands, so they naturally have to rely on the people who go to Ulzhou to pick up the goods.

"The little one understands!" Xiao Jiu'er said in a deep voice.

After Xiao Jiu'er left, Wang Hao finally let out a long breath. 100,000 pieces, each according to the usual calculation, there are also 100,000 pieces. If it is based on the current market, each piece is calculated according to five guan, which is 500,000 guan! The most important thing is that in the future, I have the line of Jinren, and I buy 100,000 pieces of leather goods from Jinren every year, and I don't have to be too greedy. And the Jin people's favorite silk silk, they can sell it to the Jin people, sell it to the Fan people, and an ordinary silk can be sold for two times. If the golden man makes an appointment with himself, he only buys from himself, only leather goods and silk, and he can earn millions of yuan a year!

In short, this line is the real big deal!

Zhou Nan only stayed in Lutai for one night, and the next morning he left Yu Shen behind and rode west with Li Feixing and his pro-army guards. Xiao Jiu didn't bring it either, and was sent out by him. In short, after Yu Shen got up, the people who came together yesterday, apart from him, were only dozens of sailors from the Flying Dragon Army.

Zhou Nan was in a hurry because he got the news from Zuo Xiaosi that two hundred truckloads of leather goods were found in the Ulzhou area, which seemed to be going to be transported to the Southern Dynasty.

Leather goods are not uncommon, but 200 wagons of leather goods are rare. When Zuo Xiaosi was sent out by Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan had already roughly said that the purpose of this errand was to block the trade of goods between the Jin people and the Southern Dynasty, and Zuo Xiaosi naturally would not let go of this news.

Therefore, Zhou Nan did not delay for a moment, let Xiao Sandao lead the way, and the group went straight to Wuqing.

It's too late to call Gao Yuan or Yang Keshi, but if you want to make this trip without capital, at least you have to bring your own three hundred pro-army guards, right?
