Chapter 114: People are stupid and money comes quickly

Wang Liangjing would never have thought that it was his own actions that saved the third brother. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Qianshou came to the Great Song Dynasty to fight the grass valley and was captured by the Wang army.

Han Derang's prestige did fade, and the Liao State didn't care about Han Qianshou's life or death, Bao Zheng imprisoned him in prison, and three months later, Han Qianshou died...... Without even a roll of reed mats, they were thrown into the mass grave and became a delicacy in the mouths of wild dogs.

Han Qianshou's death made it even more difficult for the Han family, whose pastures were occupied, cattle and sheep were plundered, the fields were gone, and a fleet that they once owned also fell into the hands of a big man.

The big man really didn't know what the ocean meant, he didn't take the fleet seriously, and gave Wang Liangjin a golden opportunity, taking advantage of the escape of the soldiers in his care, he instigated the sailors and slaves to rebel, snatched three boats, left the Liao country, and wandered at sea for five days, everyone almost starved to death, lying on the deck in despair, waiting for death to come, at this time, they suddenly found an island, used their last strength, landed on the island, plenty of food, sweet fresh water, let them come back to life.

Wang Liangjin is well-informed in a group of people and is publicly recommended as the owner of the island.

After settling down on the island, Wang Liangjin became more and more relatives for four years, so many years have passed, the case of the Xue family may have been forgotten long ago, he rushed back to the Great Song Dynasty by boat, and then returned to Cangzhou, it took almost two months before and after, went through hardships and dangers, and endured I don't know how much suffering.

Finally arrived at home, Wang Liangjin was also dumbfounded, and the old house disappeared. Instead, there are brand-new houses, grand ancestral halls, and tall stone carvings, recording the exploits of the ancestors of the Wang family...... Seeing this, Wang Liangjin was like a dream, and he couldn't believe it at all.

The brother cried for a long time, and Wang Liangjin patted the fourth brother's shoulder, full of emotion.

"Fourth, I really didn't expect that among our brothers, you are the one who really becomes a big thing!"

Wang Liangjing's old face was flushed, how could he have that ability, if it weren't for his son, I was afraid that the Wang family would really be finished...... By the way, where did that kid go?

Wang Liangjing was stunned, the door was opened, and a burst of aroma wafted in, it turned out that Wang Ningan ran out to arrange a few dishes, and brought a jar of wine.

Wang Liangjin smelled the aroma of wine from afar.

"What wine! Bring me a taste! ”

Wang Liangjin is a drunkard, so he grabbed the wine jar and poured a bowl, and poured it into his mouth, but he couldn't stop it.

After drinking a sip of wine, Wang Liangjin's face instantly turned red, his neck was thick, his eyes were red, and his eyes were out, which frightened Wang Ningan.

"It's a strong wine, I think it's almost the same as Yaochi elixir."

Wang Ning'an was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, have you also heard of Yaochi elixir?" ”

"Why haven't you heard of it, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom like this thing, I heard that a leader of the Jurchen Department used two hundred horses and a hundred cows to exchange for a small altar." Wang Liangjin compared it with his hand, and the small jar looked like it was holding three or five catties at most.

Wang Liangjing and Wang Ningan glanced at each other, their breathing became short, their mouths were dry, their faces were red and their hearts were hot, and they were even more drunk than Wang Liangjin!

"Fourth, who are you?"

"Third brother!" Wang Liangjing shouted excitedly, "You said that a jar of Yaochi elixir can be exchanged for hundreds of war horses?" ”

"yes, I can't lie to you!" Wang Liangjin laughed at himself, "I just took this mouthful, it's worth two or three horses!" What a big belly! ”

……

Wang Ningan suddenly had a feeling of being hit by a pie and fainting with happiness, the third uncle came back at this time, it was simply a treasure sent by God, the two years ago he was still thinking about how to expand the cavalry, how to form a transport team, nothing else is difficult, except for the horses, no clue, I didn't expect God to help so much, so I sent the third uncle!

Wang Ning was overjoyed, and quickly asked the third uncle for advice - Wang Liangjin ran away from home for a few years, and participated in the Xue family's maritime business, and later after killing the Xue family, he fled to the sea and wandered for several years, and then encountered a storm and was blown into the territory of Liao and became a slave.

In the following years, he has been repairing ships and carrying goods for the Han family.

Wang Liangjin has been ravaged by wind and frost over the years, he was also a little fresh meat back then, but now he has become an old bacon, his face is purple and red, a thick layer of rust, his joints are deformed and thick, and his back is a little hunched...... It's just that these efforts are not without gains, Wang Liangjin has two things that no one can compare, one is that he is familiar with the sea conditions, and commanding the fleet is like playing.

Moreover, he is well aware of the situation in Liao.

His introduction also opened Wang Ningan's eyes and made him addicted.

According to Wang Liangjin's account, although the land of Liao is vast, even more than that of the Great Song Dynasty, its population is not worth mentioning, only more than 10 million, of which more than 8 million are concentrated in the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is also the wealth of Liao, the lifeline. Without Yanyun, the Liao Kingdom is no different from an ordinary nomadic tribe.

In fact, the Liao State still maintains a semi-nomadic state, and the sparse population makes it impossible for them to control the huge territory, so there are many other ethnic groups in the territory of the Liao State.

In addition to the Han people of Yanyun, the most are the Jurchens!

Of course, at this time, the Jurchens were still divided, and the most powerful of them was the Wanyan Ministry, which established the Dajin State and overthrew the rule of the Khitan people in the future. It turns out that the Jurchens did not appear out of thin air, but knew that they had existed for a long time......

According to Wang Liangjin's description, the Liao State was more like a forcibly pinched group than a real empire.

The emperor of the Liao State is the leader of the martial arts alliance, relying on his strong strength, suppressing all parties, making them honest and obeying orders, the whole country is like a pyramid, the top is the Khitan tribes, among which the imperial Yelu clan and the descendant Xiao clan are at the top of the tower, the middle level of the empire is other nomadic tribes such as the Jurchens, as for the Han people of Yanyun, they are at the bottom, they are the worker bees that maintain the empire, they are the sheep raised by the shepherds, shearing, milking, and when necessary, peeling the skin and eating meat!

After figuring out the structure of the Liao State, Wang Ningan suddenly became enlightened.

It seems that the huge and powerful Liao State is actually full of crises, or there are too many places to start, if you have the power and have enough strength, you can definitely play the Liao State to death!

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are still too weak!

It's just weak!

Wang Ningan despised the princes of the court for a while, and then retracted his thoughts.

At the moment, he doesn't have that much power, but it is okay to smuggle goods and exchange them for cattle and horses. Especially the mere Yaochi elixir, it is so valuable, it is simply heart-pounding.

"Uncle San, where is the island you found? Can you get in touch with the various ministries of Liao? ”

Wang Liangjin didn't know what his nephew had in mind, so he still nodded.

"No problem, what, do you want to do business?"

"That's right, I'm not only going to do business, but I'm going to do big business!" Wang Ning'an took a detailed map, this thing is not something that anyone can get, it was originally from Jia Changchao's hands.

After laying out the map, Wang Liangjin quickly found his island, which was marked as "Jinghang Island" on the map of the Song Dynasty, which means that the scenery is comparable to that of Hangzhou, and it is highly praised.

Wang Ning'an knew that this island also had a name, called "Changsheng Island", and later changed its name to "Changxing Island", which is the largest island north of the Yangtze River estuary, located at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, that is, Dalian City in later generations, and currently belongs to Suzhou Mansion of Liaoguo!

Wang Ningan never imagined that the third uncle would be exiled to Changsheng Island by mistake, but in this way, it also opened Wang Ningan's mind.

He used to smuggle to Liao, staring at the Song-Liao border, relying on the Liao businessman Xu Jie and the Han family, although he made a lot of money, but after all, he had to be stripped of his skin, and Wang Ningan was very uncomfortable.

If you can smuggle directly to the mainland of Liao, you will not only skip the skin-pickers of the Great Song Dynasty, but also skip the skin-pickers of the Liao, and the Jurchen tribes will definitely be simpler than the Khitans!

In Wang Ning'an's dictionary, simplicity is equal to six words: people are stupid and money comes quickly!

It was as if he had seen a huge mountain of gold, waiting to be excavated......
