"Today is a good ......" Wan Fang, as the largest fur buyer in Tokyo Province, Liao, Xiao Chaozong, the youngest shopkeeper under Lord Xiao, is naturally very hard-working, in order to repay Lord Xiao's appreciation and promotion, he constantly strives to find a way to improve the performance of the fur shop, and even came up with a bidding method, in each town where the wholesale of fur is released, a unified purchase of a large number of furs every month, a minimum purchase of 10 million furs, whoever sells at a low price can sell 1,000 furs to the Xiao family fur trading house at a time. This policy does not discriminate between the season and the identity of the fur seller, that is, in the autumn when the fur harvest season and in the spring when there is not much fur production, the market risk of the price is borne by the seller, and it is very beneficial to the big sellers with deep pockets.

Because this innovation brought stable purchase channels to the Xiao family, greatly reduced acquisition costs and increased profits, Wanfang was promoted to the sole manager of Changbai Mountain. There are more than 200 people in charge of various industries, including fur shops, timber shops and medicinal herb shops.

The newly appointed director Wan Fangwan was shocked by a news before he burned three fires and sat on the ground, the ginseng field under the Changbai Mountain was all destroyed by the Wanyan Department of the Jurchen tribes, and the entire business bank lost at least tens of thousands of ginseng, who would have thought that he would encounter this kind of disaster just after taking office.

Since Emperor Tianzuo ascended the throne, the Khitan nobles have become more and more oppressive and extortive of the Jurchen tribes. In addition to paying tribute to the Liao Dynasty in accordance with the regular ration, the officials and merchants on the northeastern border of the Liao Dynasty, with the connivance of the imperial court, often went to the field to use "low value" to forcibly buy, which was called "beating the Jurchen", which had long planted hatred in the hearts of the Jurchens.

Originally, every year, many merchants of the Great Song Empire entrusted local merchants of the Liao Kingdom to purchase the specialties of Tokyo Province on their behalf, and even some wealthy merchants with good hands and eyes directly sent people to go deep into the Dongdan Palace, Tieli Palace, and Murowei Palaces to purchase furs and ginseng. However, with the death of Emperor Daozong, a large amount of apportionment and expropriation were pressed on the officials and magnates at all levels, and the new army was very happy, deeply influenced by his grandfather's admiration for Buddhism, and continued to expand Buddhist temples and increase the intensity of alms to monks. These actions led to revolts and riots by the surrounding minority tribes. Originally, the Xiao family's business in Tokyo Road was relatively large, and it was easier to be targeted.

This heavy loss will definitely make you fuck off. After a few days, I asked a lot of related directors Wan and representatives of large and small merchants in Baozhou and other places to negotiate with the Wanyan Ministry, hoping that the Wanyan Ministry, which is becoming more and more powerful, can give a verbal promise on the face of many merchants and the powerful behind it, and there will be no such unfriendly moves, and a complete break will cause the Wanyan Ministry to easily lose the trust of the high-level of the Liao State.

With the encouragement of his uncle, Wan Yanmin, who secretly took a boat to Mizhou in the Great Song Empire, has become the brains of the entire tribe. Having seen the world and having close ties to the Great Song Empire, he brought countless benefits to the tribe. Originally, the Wanyan tribe, which could only accept the exploitation of Liao merchants, became the richest and most powerful tribe of the Jurchen tribes, ten years earlier. One pearl (15 mm diameter round pearl) can be exchanged for 100 stone of fine salt, and a fine mink can be exchanged for 10 loads of burlap. All kinds of daily necessities and consumer goods secretly entered the territory of the Jurchens through the Yalu River, and these outrageous purchase prices, which were more advantageous than the trade prices on the Song-Liao border, were one of the plans formulated by the crossing people to support the Wanyan tribe.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Even if this barter trade was done like this, the Liaodong branch of the Northern Trading Company still made a windfall profit of 300 percent. Compared with the Song-Liao border trade, the secret of more profit lies in the quality of goods and the part that is free from layers of intermediaries and tariffs. The consequences of supporting the Jurchen are very clear, and history tells everyone that this nation is as unreliable as all ethnic minorities, and as long as they have the strength to bite back, they will definitely stand up as kings and it will be difficult to assimilate.

But the traversal has a confidence far beyond Li Chengliang, and it is absolutely impossible to make the same mistake as him. In the face of absolute strength, everything is just a game.

Aguta was just an ordinary young man, and although he had obtained a steady stream of material support through connecting with the head of the trading company in Mizhou, he still did not have enough strategy and ambition to embark on the road of overthrowing the Liao State. Although the Great Song Empire did not declare war on the Liao State, and a future maritime alliance was unlikely to appear, the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao was obviously a bad move, and the crossing would not let Wan Yan Min destroy his plan. Wan Yan Min is not the head of Wan Yan Min's department now, although his grandfather and father are happy and shocked by Wan Yan Min's good luck, but after all, he is just a young man who cannot be convinced, and it is impossible to hand over the power to this undecided young man.

In fact, in the plan of the traversal, the Wanyan Department is just one of the chess pieces that creates many internal troubles for the Liao State. The other chess pieces were already in place years ago, and they could easily kill the unlucky Yelu Yanxi, the last monarch, in advance by waiting for the order of the traversal.

The internal ethnic problem focused on the Wanyan Department, the religious problem was the conflict between Buddhism and shamanism, the class problem was the exploitation of the Han tenants by the Khitan landlords, and the institutional problem was the Fanhan partition system in which the central and local powers were distributed. If Yelu Yanxi wanted to centralize power and establish the authority of the new emperor, he naturally had to make achievements in domestic and foreign affairs. Internally, the only way to build a large number of temples is to calm people's hearts and give more treasures, goods, and property to buy the powerful; Externally, it will increase military spending and exert pressure on neighboring countries such as the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo to extort New Year's coins.

This kind of blind tossing is naturally a must for every new emperor, and it is also the process that everyone wants to see the most, which will not only accelerate internal division and turmoil, but also trigger the economic collapse of the Liao State. In order to accelerate the demise of the Liao State, the Traversal once borrowed the Xiao family's commercial bank to prepare to open a bank to issue banknotes for the Liao State, so that the Khitans could enjoy the inflation miracle created by the Jin State. (In the more than 20 years before the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the price of goods denominated in banknotes rose 20 billion times, which can be said to have created the most terrible inflation miracle in the history of the world.)
