The field is not a new thing for Da Song.

Liao, Jin, and Western Xia all used force to force the Song Dynasty to open on the border, this kind of barter or gold and silver as the medium of official trading places, often accompanied by the contrast between the strength and weakness of the two countries and open and close, when the nomads weakened the Great Song Dynasty closed the field, when the nomads were strong, the Great Song Dynasty lowered its eyebrows and opened the field.

The Song Dynasty, which occupied the commanding heights of the manufacturing process, was naturally the strong side, and there were many goods such as ironware, tea bricks, salt, cloth and so on needed on the grassland, and the herdsmen could provide only pure cattle, sheep and horses in exchange.

Although cattle, sheep and horses are good, Da Song does not necessarily need a lot, and it is easy to find substitutes. And the iron salt of the Great Song Dynasty, where can the nomads find a second place to buy?

Therefore, the pricing at the time of trading, except for the price negotiated by themselves when the big businessmen do business privately, the rest of the time, the government of the two sides generally agrees on a rough price, and the common people buy and sell according to this price.

This creates a second point of conflict in addition to the fact that the market cannot be opened, the right to determine the price.

When the power outside the Great Wall was strong, the Great Song Dynasty swallowed its anger and had to accept the other party's inferior horses and crooked cattle in exchange for the best silk iron pot; The strength outside the Great Wall was a little weaker, and the Great Song Dynasty raised his eyebrows, his eyelids were high, and usually one horse for a pot could be lifted to twenty horses for a pot.

Therefore, the field is a barometer, and by looking at its operation and establishment, you can understand the contrast between the strength of the Song Dynasty and the northern kingdom on horseback.

To be specific, it is like the regulations of the field in Wang Kui's hand.

The charter is very long and comprehensive, and anyone who reads this has to be impressed, the person who wrote this huge charter must be a business genius.

To summarize in Wang Kui's words, it is that the eldest grandson Hong knocked the bones of the Great Song Dynasty to boil the oil of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is very intimate to say that in order to ensure that the Rongchang will not be due to the cumbersome procedures for the people's livelihood on the border, and it is easy to manage, the Rongchang is located in Rongzhou, and the management agency of the Rongchang is jointly established by Dali and the Song Dynasty.

To be specific, this institution that dominates everything in the field was formed by the Rongzhou local government under the guidance of the Sichuan Envoy and the Dali government.

This agency is responsible for a series of functions such as pricing, public security, mediation, management, etc., and the work is very detailed, and it is also very tiring.

Therefore, Changsun Hong resolutely said, he is in charge of this institution.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Kui rolled his eyes helplessly.

The paper is full of Changsun Hong's greed.

Where is this a win-win situation for both sides, it is clearly a channel for Changsun Hong to suck blood from Da Song in the name of Rongchang.

According to this charter, Dali earns money from the field in a year, will be comparable to salt profits, and the field has a radiation effect, because the field does not collect money, the tax card tax rate outside the field is also very low, a few points lower than elsewhere, one or the other, some products in Dali are indeed very good, very competitive, such as tea, such as iron ore, take out the transportation cost is also better than elsewhere.

And the eldest grandson Hong also complained with a sad face: "Why do you want to engage in a field? Alas, life in the mountains is hard, come out to earn some porridge money, just like that, you have to pay taxes to the Great Song Dynasty, it's better not to pay, right? ”

Wang Kui looked at his clearly smiling face and really wanted to smoke him.

Obviously, you took away the big head, and you still said this kind of thing, do you really want to leave a mouthful of soup?

Rongzhou Rongchang is equal to a government-run Rui Fuxiang, and the starting point is very high, and the scale of the future is far greater than that of Rui Fuxiang today.

Wang Kui's heart was sour, and he wanted to score a little more on the side, but he was sternly rejected by the eldest grandson, saying that the money was earned, and he wanted to buy clothes and armor for the ghost pawn, the armor was so expensive, otherwise I would open a price, and you would help me prepare?

Wang Kui immediately shut up.

A set of ghost pawn armor is very expensive, costing nearly a hundred copper coins, and the ghost knows how many astronomical sums Changsun Hong will prescribe.

All the way back, the two of them on how to seize the Sword Pavilion, how to defend and the establishment of the field after taking it, these topics, the days on the water are scarce, boring and boring, but the two discussed and chatted enthusiastically, often talking until late at night, Li Tingzhi and others participated in it, put forward some suggestions from different angles, and learned a lot of things, like a long lesson on the ship, and Changsun Hong, from the words of these ancients, also understood a lot of the unique wisdom of the elites of this era.

"What are the people that Lord Meng gives, what is the eldest brother going to do?" One night, after dinner, Changsun Hong and Wang Kui were picking their teeth in the cabin and chatting about the person entrusted by Meng Hui, and Changsun Hong asked: "It should be properly arranged, but it can't chill their hearts." ”

"Naturally, these people abandon their posts and abandon their posts, just for the ambitions in their chests, how can I bear them?" Wang Kui said with a smile: "When I left Lin'an, I had already sent them letters to each other, asking them to go to Gongzhou by themselves, and there were already people receiving them, and when we arrived, we would meet them in Gongzhou and talk to them one by one to see how to settle them." ”

Eldest Sun Hong's face twisted, and he scratched his head: "That, big brother, I think it, there may be some of them who are willing to go to Dali......"

Wang Kui was stunned and looked at him: "You want people?" ”

Raising a hand, Wang Kui pointed at the eldest grandson Hong and couldn't cry and laughed: "You took advantage of money, and you still want to take advantage of people?" There are so many barbarian generals in Dali, do you still want to be greedy for the people of the Song Dynasty? ”

"You can't say that, you see the outside, you see the outside." The eldest grandson Hong flatly denied: "Although I have been promoted to the capital system, I am also an official of the Great Song Dynasty, right?" It's normal for the court to send some talents to me, don't be so stingy, big brother. ”

Wang Kui pondered for a while, didn't know what he thought, and patted his thigh: "Okay, since you want it, I'll give it, we two brothers, what can't we give?" It's just that you need to ask for the opinions of those people in this matter, and if others don't want to go, it's not convenient to force it. ”

"This is natural." Changsun Hong smiled, reached out and knocked on the table.

This matter is settled.

The light boat was rippling, borrowing the wind and water, and soon arrived at the Gongzhou Wharf after a long time.

The geography of Gongzhou is unique, the two rivers converge, the Jialing River and the Yangtze River are like two giant dragons, the mountain city of Gongzhou is firmly protected in the middle, the river is two natural moats, so that the city of Gongzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The group disembarked at the wharf, and the prefect of Gongzhou had already received the news, and he was attentive and sent directly to the government of Gongzhou.

In the hall of the government office, there were already more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard waiting.

Changsun Hong walked one step behind Wang Kui, and when he entered the courtyard and saw these people, his breathing suddenly stopped a little.

The excitement in my heart is indescribable.

These people are either tall and burly, or shrewd and capable, some are dignified, some are gloomy and silent, but they all cast their eager eyes in the direction of the courtyard gate at the moment when Wang Kui and the others came in.

The eldest grandson Hong looked at them one by one, and his heart was full of waves.

Most of these people are the people who will dominate the ups and downs of history in the future, and they will be subservient to their own command, and they will fight for a purpose.

The waves are magnificent, and the picture scroll is opened.
