Chapter 495: It can sweep Hebei, or it can restore Youyan in the north
Nigu Village Trade Zone.
In just half a year, there are hundreds more merchants from the two countries in the trade zone, and the wharf on the north bank of the Juma River is already decent, where not only thousands of Khitan soldiers are stationed, but also houses have risen from the ground, and tents are standing around the houses.
It's like a town.
Yelu Zhenning, the town guard, was a confidant of Emperor Tianzuo, and was dispatched, naturally in order to 'strictly guard against death' and prohibit the BMW Divine Horse from flowing into the southern country. At the same time, it is also in the pocket, so as not to disobey those Khitan nobles and privately expand the scale of trade with the southern country.
According to the data, the north-south trade has been exchanged, and Liao has sold more than 11,000 war horses to Lu Qi on the surface, even if there are some 'omissions', this amount will not exceed 15,000, right? But how many war horses does the Liangshan Army have in store now? The Ma army under the name of Yu Qinjun, the governor of the five armies alone, was close to 20,000.
Counting the garrison, that number is more than twenty-five thousand in the blink of an eye. With such a large base of horse army, how can there be seven or eight thousand spare war horses? With 35,000 war horses, the Liangshan army did not have such strong strength earlier. Therefore, it is no wonder that Emperor Tianzuo is furious.
Is this just 15,000 fucking horses? I'm afraid that the number in front of me is missing a horizontal bar.
If he sent his henchman Yelu Zhenning to serve as the town guard, it was necessary to strictly investigate. But this henchman of Emperor Tianzuo came to Beijiakou Village for less than two months, and he was completely lost in gold, silver, money, and beautiful women, and ignored Emperor Tianzuo's instructions.
Rising from the pink tent today, with his feet on the finest velvet blanket, the heat from the fireplace made him feel the cold and cold of the spring cold, he brushed his teeth with his face, and a hearty breakfast was already waiting for him.
Yelu Zhenning enjoys this life very much, and eats no longer some tender roast lamb, but delicacies from the mountains and seas, sea cucumber and abalone, monkey's head bird's nest, and bear's paw shark's fin.
Sitting in the position of the envoy of Beijiakouzhai Town, the money does not need to be taken care of, and someone will deliver it obediently. And with the money, he has the most top-notch chefs from the south to serve, the best and strongest wine in the south, the dragon and phoenix group tea that can only be enjoyed by the royal family of the south, and enough rhubarb silk.
Yelu Zhenning knew that he had fallen, but he couldn't extricate himself. This wonderful feeling made him deeply intoxicated.
For him, the recent days are the real life. He no longer has to eat mutton day after day, whether boiled or roasted; He doesn't have to drink the sour mare's milk wine anymore, the spirits of the southern country are the real wine, and they are the enjoyment of the Han man.
Look at his current residence, in his Huali, Nanjing City is afraid that only the kings and emperors can compare. Yelu Zhenning has now not only become the cover man of the Khitan nobles' 'private goods' Liangshan Army, but he also organized a caravan and began to sell horses to the south and grain and iron to the north.
In particular, the iron pots, kitchen knives, paper-cutting, iron needles and other materials produced by the Liangshan Army are not too popular in the north.
An iron pot can be exchanged for a war horse on the Northland grassland, but a war horse transported to Nigu Village can be exchanged for at least ten iron pots, and it can also ask people to spare two more kitchen knives. If this trade route is opened in its entirety, gold and silver should not be earned too quickly.
In this way, a Khitan man who won the appreciation of Emperor Tianzuo with his bravery, quickly degenerated in the enjoyment of money and luxury. degraded to the point where he knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he was still willing to eat it. Yelu Zhenning is hopeless.
Gulping down the high-grade liquor bought by the Liangshan Army, this kind of distilled liquor that costs extremely much food, that is, there is very little circulation within the Liangshan Army, and it is more used for export to the Khitan.
Yelu Zhenning called for another plate of pineapples. This canned fruit was produced in Fujian and Guangdong, and the canned fruit, a product with little technical content, was quickly copied after it was circulated under the rule of the Song Dynasty.
There are many fruits in Lingnan, and canned fruits there are very popular in Qilu. Because this is a specialty, it is not as good as seafood, which is available in both the north and the south, but the fruit is unique to Lingnan.
Pineapples, pineapples, lychees, bayberry, jackfruits, etc., were very popular as soon as they were launched.
The Liao, who are located further north, are no exception, and they are even more sought after for some southern fruits. And people have different tastes, Yelu Zhenning prefers sweet and sour pineapples.
On the table, there was only some yellow juice left in a white plate, that is, a can of pineapples had been eaten by Yelu Zhenning. YelΓΌ Zhenning was Chinese New Year's Eve and fifty-five years old, more than six feet long, with a beard and a large waist and a round waist, looking like a black bear standing on its own from behind. The amount of food is staggering.
After a shout, Yelu Zhenning still grabbed the white plate, his five fingers were as thick as the small radish, and poured the juice in the plate into his mouth, revealing a touch of heartfelt enjoyment on his rough face, as if a black bear had eaten honey.
Hurried footsteps sounded outside the square, and the hurried shout of "General, General......" caused a flash of annoyance on Yelu Zhenning's face. The most annoying thing for him is being disturbed during meals.
I think that at the beginning, he was Emperor Tianzuo's personal guard, and he followed the emperor all day long, people ate and watched him, and people sat and stood with him. At that time, Yelu Zhenning swore that he would get ahead.
If so, his status gradually rose in the future, so that after he also had a place in the Khitan palace, he was even more tired of being disturbed during meals.
But Yelu Zhenning was still patient, because he could hear who the man was.
This is a Han man who he used last year, surnamed Nie Wenyuan, and he is a person from Qilu, Shandong. Because his hometown was invaded by Liangshan thieves, his parents went away, and in order to take refuge, he hid in Daliao.
Emperor Tianzuo, drunk and addicted to music, and the birds were barren. Refusal to admonish and pretend to be wrong, poor and extravagant, coiled in hunting (hunting), credit slander, and even called the Khitan Jigang to abolish and resent. At that time, the Jurchen had already become bigger, and Yelu Zhenning looked at the Khitan situation in his eyes, and he was also worried in his heart.
It is also a coincidence, which is commendable. And this Nie Wenyuan carried a beautiful woman with him, and directly dedicated it to Yelu Zhenning, although the latter did not lack women, but he rarely saw such southern beauties, and he was very happy, so he included Wenyuan in the mansion.
But unexpectedly, this guy still has some skills, he doesn't mention the hyphenation, and he can count and settle accounts, and he is happy to promote Yelu Zhenning. In this way, his status in Yelu Zhenning's mansion gradually reappeared, and this time he was pulled out by Yelu Zhenning to build a caravan, and he made a lot of money.
Hearing Nie Wenyuan's anxious cry, Yelu Zhenning also became serious.
"General", Nie Wenyuan hurriedly came in, and called the general to gasp, "so that the general knows that the trade area is also in trouble." β
However, the trade area received news from Chen Guan, and the envoys of Liangshan Army and his party were treated rudely, and their faces changed immediately. The prices of the utensils sold by the Liangshan Army, whether it is knives, guns, armor, iron pot kitchen knives, grain cloth, silk rhubarb, tea and spirits, have all risen one level. At the same time, for the leather horns, cattle, sheep and horses imported by the Liao side, the price will be lowered by one layer.
Oops, this move has turned the trade zone upside down. Naturally, it also affected the interests of the caravan organized by Nie Wenyuan. When he heard the news, he hurried across the river to meet Yelu Zhenning.
"A good group of men and women, pickled beasts, so discredited, so rude?" Yelu Zhenning's stomach was about to explode. This rise and fall, the price difference is so big, this is ripping his flesh and blood, and it is also stripping Da Liao's flesh and blood.
Nie Wenyuan said: "The people of the southern country only said that Da Liao was rude first, and this time it was just a light punishment, and the next time there is such a thing, the trade area will be closed." β
Yelu Zhenning subconsciously felt that this was a fart, was Liang Shanjun willing to close this trade zone? But he was still bluffed, and the next thing he thought in his heart was - if this trade zone was closed, wouldn't his fairy-like life be gone?
"This trade zone can't be closed!"
Nie Wenyuan seemed to have swallowed a mouthful of dog shit suddenly, and just when he saw Yelu Zhenning's irritable appearance, he was afraid that this man-bear would lead troops to kill him. At this sudden turn, Nie Wenyuan, who was flashing, was speechless.
"That's what the general said. The stakes are so high that we can't afford to ignore them. Immediately send people to negotiate with Nanguo, and then quickly pass to Nanjing. β
Yelu Zhenning's brain calmed down, and he said when he heard it: "But that's the case. Someone came, called Xiao Dujian to come. This man was Yelu Zhenning's deputy.
The latter came to the yamen of the town guard mansion after a short time, and after hearing about the cause and effect before and after, his face showed bitterness, "This kind of thing, is it that my generation of petty officials can be compared?" However, it is incumbent upon us to do so. He immediately took his leave, returned to the Metropolitan Prison Mansion to make some preparations, and hurried to the docks.
Inside the city of Nanjing.
Since Chen Guan and the others were expelled from the inn, they were furious and wanted to leave with their legs raised. But how can it be so easy, without the permission of the Nanjing Left-behind Division of Liao, Chen Guan and the others would not be able to get out of the city at all. The Khitans were obviously embarrassed by them.
Chen Guan was not in a hurry. If you don't come to the Khitan in person, you won't know the poverty of the Khitans. The city of Nanjing is full of beggars and displaced people, and the corpses are carried out and buried every day, which shows how bad the situation has become.
Of course, the turning point was not long in coming. Chen Guan and the others went from a group of 'travelers' who were trapped here to seem to have become prisoners in an instant, and they were escorted into a courtyard by a group of Khitan soldiers and guarded over.
Chen Guan is still the old god. Before he sent to the Khitan, he had already asked people about the envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty who were envoys to the Liao State, and this encounter was not so bizarre. It's normal to be imprisoned now.
"Don't worry, gentlemen. You must know what kind of person our king is. Have you forgotten that sentence, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, I will offend others. "Lu Qian's handwritten letter is really refreshing.
"What the Khitan looks like, everyone has seen it for many days. Although it seems to be majestic, it is actually terminally ill. β
"And I am like the rising sun, shining brightly. The king commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can sweep Hebei, or restore Youyan in the north. β
"The Liao people are unwise, and the king is tongue-in-cheek. is frustrating its momentum and increasing the prestige of my Central Plains. Gentlemen, be patient. β()
