Parting is always sad. Liu Yong suddenly turned around, stepped on his horse and galloped to the front of the convoy. Eight carts of salt, two carts of tea, one cart of sauce, and one cart of silk. The twelve ox carts slowly moved along the official road. Coupled with the entourage of more than 30 people, it was mighty and had the momentum of marching and fighting.

Liu Yong and Lin Hualang each got a horse, and the rest of the people, including the five martial artists, were on foot. Because horses are not easy to buy and expensive. The martial artists didn't care, they were all in good shape, and walking was a piece of cake for them. In fact, they all have horses, but the road is difficult and dangerous, and they are reluctant to ride out. Fold a horse to cover your labor expenses.

Liu Yong was also going to walk, but Lin Hualang Pianpian got two old horses, and Liu Yong also rode one. However, the money for these two horses came from Liu Yong. The price of the old horse is not so expensive. Two horses cost a hundred dollars.

Liu Yong spent all the 150 taels of gold ingots lent by Zhang Xixi. Even the money for the ox cart with some trivial money, now the total in hand is only two hundred. The journey of thousands of miles and the eating, drinking, and sleeping of more than 30 people relied on these more than 200 yuan. But in his calculations, if nothing else, it should be enough.

Thinking about it, Liu Yong couldn't help but touch the strings of copper coins in the burden on his shoulders. And he thought, "It's really inconvenient to carry this ancient money." The loss is small, if it is tens of thousands of dollars, then you have to use a car alone to pull it. Or modern banknotes are better. However, I remember that it was mentioned in history textbooks that paper money once appeared in the Song Dynasty, called Jiaozi, but unfortunately it was not displayed due to poor government supervision. The commerce and trade of the Song Dynasty was also considered to be good, but it was a pity that this financial transaction was delayed. ”

He lamented in his heart that it was not easy to trade with money, and lamented that the modern financial system of later generations made payment fast and convenient. Suddenly, an idea appeared in my head, and although I had thought about it before, it was not as strong as it is now. It was only when he actually engaged in long-distance trade that he really thought about the circulation of money.

At this moment, the idea of establishing a bank in the Great Song Dynasty became stronger, and it made him feel excited. The financial industry is one of the most lucrative industries. If he could really establish his own financial and commercial system in the Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be an unprecedented feat. Even if you can't build a modern bank, you must at least establish a ticket number similar to that of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Liu Yong's goal was clear. But this ambitious goal does not seem to be easy to achieve. This is not the case of an empty glove white wolf. This requires the backing of its own strong capital, and it also needs to establish relations with the government, which is related to the circulation of national money. If you want to set up a bank or a ticket number, the court will not ignore it. So, the most important thing right now is to build wealth. With the capital base, it is possible to expand into the financial aspect.

Thinking of this, a grand blueprint of the financial world appeared in front of Liu Yong's eyes. The paddy in the fields by the roadside seemed to be full of golden ears of wheat.

"I said, brother, what do you want? Do you still miss my sister? Lin Hualang, who was neck and neck, interrupted Liu Yong's thoughts.

"Oh, no, I'll think about the future." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"What comes next? Is it to the Western Xia Kingdom? Lin Hualang asked.

Liu Yong smiled, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's farther away than that." ”

Lin Hualang didn't understand, and he didn't care about things that were so far away.

"Brother, I'll let the warriors change horses and ride them for a while." Lin Hualang said.

"Okay, you go, ask anyone else who is tired, and mine will give them a different ride." Liu Yong agreed.

"No, brother, your body is too weak, you can just ride this horse alone. Brother, don't forget, you are the leader of this caravan, and if you are tired and sick, then there will be no leader. Lin Hualang resolutely refused to let Liu Yong abandon the horse.

Liu Yong had no choice but to continue riding. He was at the head of the ox convoy. One of the cows at the top is led by a person, and the rest are connected by ropes in turn, so that no one needs to lead them, and those people are only responsible for following the ox cart.

Without Lin Hualang's interruption, Liu Yong began his imagination again.

When there is a goal, human beings have the motivation to move forward.

Liu Yongxiang was excited, he couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke his chest, touched a hard thing, and took it out to see that it was Mu Yu'er handed over to him by the dead man in the collapsed and broken temple on the road to Meizhou City. This is when she was packing her bags last night, and she was shown by Yingying. Yingying also deliberately showed it to Liu Yong, but Liu Yong had long forgotten about this wooden fish. Anyway, he didn't have a way to fulfill the man's last words, so he didn't take it seriously anymore, and he still wanted to throw it away when Ying Ying gave it to him. But after thinking about it, this is a dead man's last wish, even if he can't fulfill it, then at least ask and inquire. He remembered that the people who chased and killed the man were all Tibetans, so he wanted to take advantage of this transit to Tibet and quietly inquire on the road by the way.

It can only be quietly, after all, the owner of this wooden fish was hunted down, although I am not sure if it is because of this wooden fish, but we must also be careful.

He looked at the delicate wooden fish, and thought of the man's words before he died: "Goose, goose, goose." The word confuses him. I couldn't figure it out, so I stupidly put the wooden fish back into my arms.

The progress of the ox cart was very slow, but Liu Yong was not in a hurry, as long as he could reach Western Xia within a month. He also hoped that the army of the Kingdom of Jin would continue to harass. In fact, it is no longer considered harassment, Liu Yong made a special inquiry before leaving, saying that the war on the border is getting tighter. If this continues, it will definitely become a large-scale battle between Song and Jin. And it's all over the north.

The trajectory of history has been destined, although Liu Yong is a Han and Song people, he is also a modern person who has traveled through. He also doesn't want to live in war, because if there is war, there will be dead. War is inhumane. But ancient times were an era of war, and Liu Yong had no choice.

With the rise of Mengyuan, the Great Song Dynasty will fall, which Liu Yong has no way to change.

But the war at this time was in his favor, and he wanted a war profit.

The convoy walked slowly for a morning, and Liu Yong stopped. Both men and cattle are going to rest for a while. He asked Lin Hualang to find a few people to cut some grass on the side of the road to feed the cattle. Prepare lunch by yourself and a few guys. Liu Yong bought 300 catties of rice and brought it to the car. There are more than 30 sets of iron pots and iron bowls.

A young man picked up some dry wood on the side of the road, raised a stove, and fetched water from the roadside stream for cooking. After a while, the smell of food filled. There are also dried vegetables prepared by Lin Qingrou for Liu Yong in the car, which are salty, fragrant and spicy, and very delicious. Liu Yong asked the servant to open a jar of sauce and use it to eat on the road.

Thirty or so big men can't live without wine. Liu Yong naturally bought three jars of wine and loaded them on the sauce cart.

The meal was ready, a group of three, a group of five people ate lively. At this time, someone was now in the direction of Meizhou City in the east, and a white horse was slowly galloping.
