Chapter Seventy-Six: The Plan

Jiang De shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, in this way, let's take out 200,000 feet first, and we will take it to Kaifeng, after all, even if we buy the store, if we want to really open, it will take time, I still have a lot of rare treasures in my hands, there are many rich people in Kaifeng, we can auction one or two in Kaifeng City, and we can also turn around." ”

Wang Ming said, "If that's the case, it's no problem, but these 200,000 feet are a lot, if we all ship them to Kaifeng, I'm afraid it will attract strongmen." ”

200,000 feet, in many books seems to be a small number, seven people in the Water Margin robbed 100,000 people, but in fact, if these 200,000 feet are equivalent to gold, there are at least eight tons of weight, if it is silver, then at least more than fifty tons, and the ox carts of the Song Dynasty due to uneven roads, and no rubber tires, the load is only more than half a ton, even if it is all gold, there must be more than a dozen ox carts, if it is silver, then there are nearly 100 ox carts. It's like copper coins, which are more than 1,000 tons, and if you want 2,000 ox carts to pull these copper coins, this battle, I'm afraid even the Mingjiao in the south will hear it.

So are there any banknotes? Yes, the Song Dynasty's Huizi can be said to be extremely famous in later generations, as early as the first year of Song Renzong Tiansheng, the imperial court set up Jiaozi in Sichuan, and began to issue official Jiaozi, at the beginning because of the restriction of the issuance, only 250,000 Guan, the effect is very good, and it is recognized by various places, but soon, due to the emptiness of the treasury, the Jiaozi is constantly issued indiscriminately, to the Song Shenzong period, fifty years, the issuance is more than 1780 times, to the first year of Daguan in the Huizong period, that is, five years before Jiang De at this time, Jiaozi was completely abolished.

Yan Qing proposed, "We don't have much silver in Kaifeng, but the Han family does, I wonder if we can exchange some flying money through the Han family?" ”

The so-called flying money exchange is actually the prototype of Huizi, but it is more primitive, generally two merchants who know the roots, exchanging silver money between the two places.

Jiang De nodded and said, "This method is good, then Wang Yuan went out and asked, if it can be exchanged for flying money, it is naturally the best, and it will save us from transportation." But if not, try to exchange it for good gold and silver. ”

"Shall we go by land or by water?" Wang Ming asked.

Yue He proposed and said, "I think it's better to take the land route, although the waterway is fast, but the water situation changes, what we bring are valuables, once something happens, the loss will be too great, we have Zhou Lao Xianggong and Chen Jiaotou on the land route, the general strongman, there is no need to be afraid at all." ”

Jiang De understood Yue He's fear of water transportation, after all, the Yue family came to Neihuang because of the flood that year.

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "If we take water transportation, there are no big rivers in the river we take, and the risk is not great, but we take the land route, and the risk of strong people is even greater, but after we get to the Yellow River, it is not appropriate to hire other people's convoy porters with so much money, so I also support taking the land route." ”

Jiang De saw that everyone had no opinions, so he said to Yan Qing, "Brother Xiaoyi, you go back today, go and tell my senior brother, help me get thirty northern horses, so that once a strong man attacks, we can also fight with him."

Let's select another 100 coachmen, 80 escort warriors, and others, and make a total of 200 people, so that the brigade should be fine. ”

Saying that, Jiang De looked at Yue He and said, "Shopkeeper Yue, Tokyo is the place where the world is going to rush, and our Qionglou there is also the top priority, I want to let Shopkeeper Yue go to Kaifeng to help me take care of this matter, what do you think?" ”

"To Kaifeng?" Yue He didn't expect Jiang De to make such a request, he thought about it and said, "Xiao Lao'er thought that the rest of his life could only pass by, it was Xiao Langjun who believed in me and used me, now Xiao Langjun has this order, Xiao Lao'er is more obedient than he should be, but Xiao Lao'er is getting older, this time he goes to Kaifeng, I don't know when he can return to his hometown, so I hope Xiao Lang Jun can let Xiao Lao'er take Da Lang back to Tangyin to worship his ancestors, in case he is unlucky, there is no regret." ”

Jiang De crooked his mouth, he didn't expect to just let Yue He go to Kaifeng, Yue He actually had a feeling of dying, in fact, this is still Jiang De's incomprehension of people in this era, people in later generations live from this city to that city, as simple as visiting a door, and in ancient times, ordinary people often never leave their county for the rest of their lives, let alone leave the state capital, and once they leave, it is very difficult to come back, after all, Yue He is not going on a business trip this time, but preparing to settle in Kaifeng.

But Jiang De looked back and thought about it, Yue Fei hadn't been to Tangyin until now, it was not good, this was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case Yue He really had any accidents one day later, wouldn't it be a pity, so he said, "This matter is reasonable, since it should be so, so let's do it, anyway, all roads lead to Kaifeng, we will first go west to Tangyin, and then turn to Anli Army and Huazhou, and cross the Fengqiu Yellow River to Kaifeng." ”

Yue and his father and son saw that Jiang De actually deliberately made the team detour for them, and their hearts became even more grateful.

Things were arranged, everyone went to their own work, and not long after Jiang De and the others returned to Sanjia Village, Wang Gui and others came over.

"Big brother, big brother, are we really going to Kaifeng this time?" Wang Gui asked in disbelief.

"What? Don't want to go? If you don't want to go, just tell me, it's okay to have one less of you. Jiang De put down the book and said to Wang Gui with a smile.

Wang Gui hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "Big brother, don't make fun of me, how could we not want to go." ”

Zhang Xian also hurriedly said, "That's it, big brother, but will we meet any strongmen when we go?" I heard that Tang Yin and An Lijun are going to pass, isn't there a troublesome situation there? ”

Tang Huai followed and said, "Yes, big brother, if this strong man comes, we can't deal with them with our bare hands, right?" ”

The last Yue Fei didn't speak, but with that eager look at a glance, he knew that he had been persuaded by Wang Gui and the others to surrender.

Jiang De understood a few small meanings, and asked with a smile, "What?" When you meet a strongman, you still want to go out? Are you joking when the two gentlemen have guns in their hands? ”

Tang Huai hurriedly said, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" With us apprentices, how can we make the gentlemen tired? I think it's enough for us to get out of the race! ”

Jiang De smiled: "Can you reach the horse?" Well, I know what you mean, wait two more years, and I'll give you a good blade, and you won't be able to take it. ”

Looking at Jiang De with a few disappointments, Jiang De shook his head and said, "That's it, I asked for thirty horses from Senior Brother, and I will give each of you one when the time comes, and then you will take the big guns, bows and arrows that you use for daily practice, how about it?" Okay, go and rest, I'll read the book for a while. ”

Although he didn't get the desired result, he felt that he could accept it at such a young age, so he left happily.

Jiang De looked at the beam and said, "Come down, how many times have I said it, the windows are for ventilation, not for turning." ”
