Chapter 259: Making money in foreign trade

Xiao Xuan is the only seedling in the third Xiao Ye's house, it stands to reason that he should be spoiled extremely, but in fact, he is the most weightless of the Xiao family's juniors, and the Xiao family has no part in discussing anything, and he can't see him on important occasions, not for anything else, just because he is not Xiao Ye's own son, but an adopted son.

In the Jinchengguan prison, Xu Zizhen did not simply blackmail him for a few hundred taels of silver, but said a few words to him, except for Xu Zizhen and Xiao Xuan, no one knew what he was talking about, Xiao Xuan has been nesting in his house every day since he was ransomed by Xiao Ye and not going anywhere, Zhuo Luo and the envoys of the Southern Military Division don't have to worry about it, it is good that the generals of the defeated army will not be left behind.

On the surface, Xiao Xuan seemed to be frightened by this capture incident, and hid at home to prepare to be his young master, but his heart had already changed his mind like a storm, which others could not detect at all.

"Within three months, the Xiao family will be destroyed, do you plan to be beheaded with them or follow me to become a free rich man in the future?"

This is Xu Zizhen's original words, Xiao Xuan did not study the credibility of this statement, but simply thought about it and agreed, not for anything else, just for two points, one: he has no power, no power and no money in the Xiao family, and his monthly pocket money is not even comparable to the cost of Xiao Yi to buy a dog; Second, he and Xiao have no blood relationship, and although they are adopted sons, Xiao has never given his father's care, and the Xiao family has no good things to do before he gets his turn, and bad things may not be.

Just like the defeat of Jincheng Pass this time, Xiao also ransomed him back, but when he came back, he said lightly, "You just rest at home", and later he learned that the Ministry of War blamed the reason for the defeat of Jincheng Pass on the head of Qian Size, and he Xiao Xuan, as one of the hostages, naturally did not escape, although the big tree of the Xiao family will not cut off his head and be guilty, but it is determined that he will not be able to get ahead.

Xiao Xuan is actually a smart person, and quickly figured out this truth, if he was perfunctory Xu Zizhen in the Lanzhou prison, then now he is determined to do it anyway, he came out of the house and went straight to the largest antique calligraphy and painting shop in the city, and when he came back, the calligraphy and painting under his armpit were gone, and they were replaced by a few silver tickets.

Xu Zizhen returned to his residence and went into the big wild house, made up for sleep in his bed, and after a while, Xiao Xuan came again, ordered eight hundred taels of silver tickets for him, and smiled from the time he entered the door to the time he went out.

From Xu Zizhen going to Xiao Xuan early in the morning to ask for an account, to Xiao Xuan going out to sell calligraphy and paintings for silver, and finally returning to Xiao Mansion to find Xu Zizhen to repay the debt, the whole process was under the noses of the Xiao family, but none of them saw it, Xiao Xuan secretly stuffed a note into the hand of a small guy at the door when he entered the antique shop.

……

In the big wild house in the backyard of Xiao Mansion, Xu Zizhen was pondering with a few silver tickets, this was sent to him by Xiao Xuan just now, he didn't say much, but the meaning was clear, the note had been passed to the person who should pass it, and at this time Li Qianshun The old man must be pondering.

However, what Xu Zizhen is thinking about now is another irrelevant thing, that is, silver, he will return to the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later, and he has already planned to do something for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, what Xu Zizhen wants to do is actually very simple, that is, to lead the troops to fight, conquer the city, pull back the Northern Song Dynasty, which should have perished, from the edge of the cliff, and keep the northern region of the Central Plains, which was originally renamed Jin.

But things are by no means as simple as in the novel, such as finding a Ming monarch and sage to give advice, from then on the gold and silver treasures rolled in, fighting the war is the most expensive work, the grain and soldiers and carriages sail, the more soldiers you bring, the more money you spend, this Xu Zizhen has already suffered when he established the Shenji Battalion in Lanzhou, but it is just a small team of 500 people, and it cost him thousands of taels of silver for most of the month, and the money is robbed from Kuizhou, and it is not too distressing, but only when it is spent and not earned, Jin Shan can't stand his spoilage.

Xu Zizhen is from later generations, although he has never been in contact with politics and military, but he is not on the same interface with the ideas of the Song Dynasty, the prosperity of the country is nothing more than two points - science and technology and economy, science and technology He has nothing to do with it, even the gunpowder and artillery that show off the majesty of Jincheng have nothing to do with him, but the economy, he is a college student who studies trade, and if it is handled properly, it is a bit embarrassing.

Well, even if the Li Qianshun family is pulled over after dealing with the mess of Western Xia, although it may not be possible for his Li family not to fight with the Great Song Dynasty from now on, it is still feasible to do some trade business with this relationship.

Ohno didn't know anything about Xu Zizhen's thoughts, and even if he knew, he couldn't figure it out, he just watched Xu Zizhen sitting there in a daze, sitting straight until the afternoon when the sun was in the west, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the door, which startled him and quickly followed.

Xu Zizhen went straight out of the door and shouted at the door, "Come on." ”

This courtyard looks secluded, but there are people secretly guarding everywhere, Xiao Taishi said that it was to protect Mr. Xu's safety, but in fact it was just to watch him, Xu Zizhen naturally knew this, and his call soon appeared in front of him, and he stood with his hands down: "What do you command?" ”

Xu Zizhen didn't talk nonsense, let him find a map, as much range as he could, the next person was stunned for a moment and hurried away, but first went to the second master Xiao E, Xiao He was also stunned after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he ordered someone to take out a map that was currently the most complete and alive, and asked him to show it to Xu Zizhen, what the demi-immortal was going to do was not something they could guess, but Xiao He felt that this might be the demi-immortal giving them advice to expand the territory of his Xiao family's kingdom.

People always think on the good side when they are arrogant, and an old fox like Xiao He is not exempt from vulgarity, there is no way, no one can put their mentality on the right track when they are about to usurp the country.

Xu Zizhen got the map and took a look at it on the spot, and was overjoyed, this map covers a wide territory, including Song, Xia, Liao, Jin and other countries, including Mongolia, Dali, Tubo, Uighurs and other countries, and even more westerly, such as Tianzhu, Black Khan, Seljuk, Khwarazm and other countries.

Who is who in these countries is a black eye for Xu Zizhen, who has not been in this era for a long time, but he can guess some general directions, for example, most of the Black Khan Kingdom is Xinjiang in later generations, Tianzhu is naturally India, and the Seljuk is almost Afghanistan.

Xu Zizhen was very satisfied, took the map and turned back to the house, if you can do business in these places, it would be good, a lot of money is waiting to be made, but you have to make a list and route first.

He was full of thoughts of making money, and completely left Zhuoya's affairs behind, and plunged into his own room, but when he entered the door, he suddenly found a middle-aged man sitting in the room, with deep sword eyebrows and a strange bearing, while Zhuoya was lying flat on the bed in the inner room, his clothes were not messy, but his eyes were closed and motionless as if he was asleep.

Xu Zizhen was suddenly alert: "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Isn't Mr. a half-immortal?" Why not guess? ”

Damn, this product is here to find fault!
