In the inner hall, a man who was sitting and drinking tea stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Do I dare not bring what the prince wants?" I'm afraid that the amount I bring is not enough. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How much do you bring?" Liang Anren asked anxiously.

"Bring five hundred treasure boxes!"

Liang Anren quickly calculated in his heart, a little less, but it could barely be distributed.

Although the Western Xia is a party dynasty, but the nobles in the court are extremely admired for the luxury goods of the Song Dynasty, such as the Baoyan Zhai rouge perfume known as the world's first rouge, it is also extremely popular in the upper class of the Western Xia, last year there were merchants who trafficked in hundreds of Baoyan Zhai treasure boxes, and finally sold three hundred taels of silver in the upper class of the Western Xia.

Liang Anren saw a business opportunity, so he asked Zhang Jiu, a famous camel luck bearer, to buy a thousand Baoyan Zhai treasure boxes for him to come to Xingqing City, and he only needed to sell two hundred taels of silver for a box, which was also ten times the profit.

Although he only got 500 treasure boxes, he could sell 100,000 taels of silver, and after deducting the cost and freight, he could make at least 88,000 taels of silver, which made Liang Anren feel uneasy.

"Hurry up and serve tea!"

Liang Anren invited Zhang Jiu to take a seat again, Zhang Jiu smiled and said: "Because I have transported tallow for Bao Yan Zhai twice, so I have a good relationship with Bao Yan Zhai, his treasure box is particularly popular, I repeatedly grind with Li Dong for a long time, he promised to give five hundred treasure boxes first, if we can meet his conditions, he promised to give the prince another thousand treasure boxes next year." ”

"On what terms?" Liang Anren asked anxiously.

"It's very simple, he wants 30,000 catties of tallow, and he buys it at the market price of Western Xia."

Liang Anren lowered his head and pondered silently, tallow is a necessity for the army, for the soldiers to eat, he has to supply at least 200,000 catties to the army, and it is not impossible to go to various pastures to levy an extra 30,000 catties, but he can't make money by selling it at the market price of Western Xia.

Zhang Jiu said again: "If the prince is willing to give tallow, proprietor Li promised to sell the prince another 5,000 pieces of balsam soap, which is also according to the price of Bianjing." ”

Liang Anren's eyes lit up, this is okay, the Xixia people are full of oil, washing their faces and bathing is a big trouble, and they can't be washed cleanly, and he has used the balsam soap of Baoyan Zhai, and it is very dry, which makes him full of praise, the market price of Bianjing is one tael of silver and two pieces of balsam soap, and it can be sold for ten taels of silver in Xixia, which is another large amount of money.

Thinking of this, Liang Anren immediately readily agreed, "Okay! I went to get 30,000 catties of tallow, and I sold it to him at ten cents a catty. ”

Zhang Jiu scratched his head and said, "There is another troublesome matter, please ask the prince to help." ”

"What's the trouble?"

"Now that the Song and Xia countries are fighting each other, the border is very dangerous, I want to ask the prince to show me a clear way, where is it safer to cross the border?"

Liang Anren laughed, "You asked me to be the right person, I happened to be distributing the food of the troops from all over the Western Xia, and the Western Xia had laid heavy troops in various strategic places, but there was no army on the front line of Linzhou, and the military villages over there were almost empty, and you could go out safe and sound from that line." ”

Zhang Jiu was overjoyed, got up and saluted, "Thank you for showing the way." ”

Liang Anren got up and said: "I will go back and let the account office settle the freight of your two thousand taels of silver this time, you wait for half a month, I will prepare the tallow and you will go on the road, and the 30,000 catties of tallow will be transported by at least 100 camels." ”

"Camels are not a problem, as long as the prince prepares the tallow, we will go on the road immediately."

Liang Anren instructed the account office to settle the account with Zhang Jiu, he turned around and left, but when he walked out of the door of the firm, Liang Anren suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could he tell Zhang Jiu the most top-secret military information, this would be a big deal.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, walked a few steps at the door with his hands in his hands, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Immediately put this Zhang Jiu under house arrest, and he is not allowed to contact anyone." ”

Tallow can wait until the end of the war before shipping, and it is not easy to perish in winter, but in any case, the top-secret military information must not be allowed to leak out to Zhang Jiu.

．．．．．．

Zhang Jiu didn't expect Liang Anren's reaction to be so fast, and before he could explain to his subordinates, Liang Anren put himself under house arrest.

His subordinates lived in the Laonan Kejiao shop outside the city, but he himself was under house arrest in the Liang Firm, and although Liang Anren treated him well, he had several beautiful maids serve him, and all kinds of delicacies and wines, but he lost his freedom.

Especially when he got the top-secret information of the Western Xia Army, he had to tell this information to Tong Taiwei as soon as possible, since Zhang Jiu was received by Taiwei Tong Guan two years ago and named him Marquis Yu, Zhang Jiu has continuously reported all kinds of information from the Liao State to Tong Guan.

And he didn't know much about the intelligence of the Western Xia, he took the opportunity to deliver the goods to the Western Xia this time, that is, he wanted to inquire about the military situation of the Western Xia, fortunately he soon learned a top secret information of the Western Xia army, but unfortunately, he was under house arrest.

For two days, Zhang Jiu was restless in his heart, he thought of all kinds of excuses to leave the courtyard, but he was ruthlessly rejected by the soldiers at the gate.

"Ninth Master, let's live in peace! After the war, the prince will double the compensation, it's not safe outside, we live here to protect, there are beauties to serve, wouldn't it be happy! ”

"I just wanted to say hello to my subordinates, nothing else."

"The prince has already agreed with them, and he also gave them enough living expenses, they live a very leisurely life in Xingqing City, so the ninth master doesn't have to worry."

Zhang Jiu had nothing to do, he could only stay up sullenly day by day, this afternoon, he sat alone in the small pond in the backyard fishing, several beautiful women who watched him were also bored, went back to the house to rest, only one woman sat in the pavilion and took a nap.

At this time, the eyes are 'plopped!' With a bang, a small pebble fell into the pond, splashing a splash, Zhang Jiuyi turned around, and saw that on the wall behind him, one of his subordinates was desperately waving to him.

Zhang Jiu was overjoyed, and rushed over and said, "Quickly go and tell Captain Tong that there is no Western Xia army garrison in Linzhou." ”

"We're also being watched, and I'm paying a lot of money to pay the guard, so he allowed me to look at you, and he's not far behind me."

"Then you go to Qiao Ye and let them relay the information!"

Zhang Jiu has been thinking about how to send the letter out these days, of course his subordinates are reliable, but what if his subordinates are also being monitored?

He thought of the Qiao brothers, the Song Shang who was in the Western Xia, and Tong Taiwei told him that if the situation was urgent, he could ask the Qiao brothers for help.

"Ninth Master, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I'll be free in winter, you go and deliver the news!"

The subordinates jumped off the wall and disappeared, and at this time, the woman in the pavilion was alarmed, and the demon came over and asked in a loud voice, "Ninth Master, who are you talking to?" ”

"I'm practicing how to apologize to the prince!"

Zhang Jiu was in a good mood, he looked this bewitching woman up and down, his eyes became hot, he grabbed her and smiled: "Let's go to the house and talk quietly." ”

The woman glanced at him coquettishly, and said with spring in her eyes: "Ninth Master, this is broad daylight, or the slave family will accompany you at night!" ”

Zhang Jiu is not a pervert, this woman is likely to see something, if she doesn't hurry up and coax her to obey, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat and walk around, Zhang Jiu can't say anything, took her hand and dragged her into the house.

"The Ninth Master is so bad! The slave's hands hurt. ”

"Hey, hey! Let the Ninth Master feel sorry for you. ”

........

Qiao's firm is located in the northwest of Xingqing City, its owner Qiao brothers are famous for their fur business in the Song Dynasty, there are backers in the upper echelons of the Western Xia, plus the Western Xia king Li Qianshun encouraged the Great Song trade, the Qiao brothers in the Western Xia mixed up with the rumor.

In the evening of this day, Qiao Zhong'an, the second eldest of the Qiao brothers, was having dinner in the trading house, when one of his subordinates walked quickly and whispered: "Second master, there is a person outside, saying that it is Zhang Jiu's brother, and he is looking for the master in an emergency." ”

There was no Song merchant in Western Xia who did not know Zhang Jiu, and Qiao Zhongan was no exception, and he had also entrusted Zhang Jiu to transport goods for him several times.

He nodded, "Bring him to me!" ”

After a while, a Zhang Jiu's subordinate was hurriedly brought up, and he bowed down to give a salute, "In the next Hu, I led the second master Qiao through the customs last year, do you still remember the second master?" ”

Qiao Zhongan laughed, "Of course I remember, what about you Ninth Master?" ”

"The ninth master was placed under house arrest by King Liang, and we were also closely monitored, just now I had dinner at the Huaji Restaurant opposite the restaurant, and I slipped out of the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet, I must go back quickly."

Qiao Zhong'an was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”

"My lord undoubtedly got a top-secret military information, there is no deployment of the Western Xia army in Linzhou, King Liang was afraid of leaking the news, so he put the ninth master under house arrest, please Qiao Ye immediately send this news to the Song army."

Qiao Zhong'an's eyes narrowed, "How did you find me?" ”

"It was ordered by the Ninth Master, it should be a hint from Mrs. Tong."

In a hurry, Ren Hu didn't care whether he should say something or not, and directly pointed out the relationship between them and Tong Guan.

Qiao Zhong'an's face was a little unhappy, and he said for a while: "I know, you can go!" ”

Ren Hu was helpless, so he had to bow and hurriedly left.

Qiao Zhongan walked around the room a few times with his hands in his hands, and turned around and ordered: "Go and find Xiao Wei for me!" ”
