The Jurchen boy brought by Guan Xing was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was very sturdy, wearing a leather horse coat, revealing his muscular and knotted arms, although the weather in early autumn was a little cold, he didn't care, and his slender eyes revealed a clever spirit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Seeing that Shen Yue was the same age as him, he was not restrained, and he arched his hand and said,

"Nalan Hong is from Changbai Mountain, the north has been war-torn for a long time, the trade route has been cut off for a long time, and we have not been in good times recently, lack of food and clothing, this time I brought the people to trek through the mountains and rivers, and asked your business to help raise some food to solve the plight of the clan."

He is very honest, directly said his difficulties, if the general businessman also knows to cover up, in order to bring the goods to sell a good price, like him to explain the hole cards, if you meet profiteers, it is not difficult to be pinched. However, Shen Yue liked his honest character, and they saved Guan Xing and the others, but after all, they didn't know much about their detailed background, so they dealt with it first,

"This matter is not difficult, you have come from afar, the journey is tiring, I will arrange for you to go to the city for a short rest, and then we will talk slowly after dinner."

Back at the business, Shen Yue brought Guan Xing into the room alone,

"Boss, this is the map you gave me, I have marked those places on it, you can take a look first." Guan Xing carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms, this thing was extremely important, he had been keeping it close to him, and he didn't dare to put it in his backpack.

Opening the package, Shen Yue opened the atlas to check, Guan Xing was born in Orion, he couldn't write, and Shen Yue read the place names to him one by one, and memorized them by heart.

The scope of this exploration did not let them go too far, all in the later Liaoning Province, which was rich in resources, Anshan and Benxi were the iron and steel capitals of later generations, Fushun was a coal mine, and Liaoyang and Panjin were also oil producing areas.

In fact, it also belongs to the Guannei, mainly Han people, the Spring and Autumn Yan Kingdom not only occupied the entire Liaoning, but also part of the territory of Jilin and the Korean Peninsula at that time, but later the Qing Dynasty repeatedly advertised that the south of the Great Wall was the Guannai.

However, now after the rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is already vast and sparsely populated, and it will take a few more years for Zhu Yuanzhang's great migration to begin before it will flourish again.

While listening to Guan Xing's introduction of what he saw and heard along the way, Shen Yue kept thinking in his heart that if he got the support of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he might be able to establish an industrial city in Shenyang and other places, which was the cradle of industry that affected the whole country at the beginning of the founding of New China, so that not only could there be a base to settle down, but also could give full play to his strengths and lay the foundation for the technological development of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Closing the atlas, Shen Yue stood with his hands in his hands, and secretly decided in his heart that after going south, he would collect more manpower, money and food, and organize immigration to Liaoning, the location of Liaoning in the three northeastern provinces was the best, and to the south was close to the Bohai Bay, and a seaport could be set up in Dalian and other places, and to the north was the vast and fertile Sanjiang Plain.

"What is the situation in that Nalan Hong's clan? Is what he said true? Shen Yue looked at Guan Xing, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, although they had not yet become a climate at this time, they had experienced the blow of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Jin State, which once occupied half of the country, was already divided, but if they helped them, they would inevitably be taboo by the imperial court.

"There are about one or two thousand people in their clan, gathered in a small town at the foot of Changbai Mountain, similar to our Han people, in addition to fishing and hunting, most of them are mainly farming, but the crops have not been harvested much in recent years, and the tribe is indeed facing the pain of food shortage, those horses and sheep brought by them are they risked to snatch from the Mongolians, after seeing us, they want to come over to exchange, they are mostly pigs, it is better to exchange for grain, tea and salt."

Shen Yue understood, because autumn is the fat of horses and sheep, and the shepherds will not sell it at this time, it seems that these Jurchens beat the water dogs and made a small fortune. I needed some wool to experiment with knitting a sweater, and they came at the right time.

It's just that before trading with them, I have to say hello to Ouyang Chen, the county commander, but now that I am being watched by the imperial court, I have to be cautious in every move.

Before sending someone to the county government to report, their people had already rushed over, and a few clerks were taking great pains to register Nalan Hong and them, it seems that Ouyang Chen was extremely concerned about the mutual market trade, and he was very enthusiastic in the face of this first guest.

Some merchants have also been notified, rushed over to trade, in the past horses were in demand, but this time everyone is arguing for those sheep, they have ordered a large number of hot pots from the ironware workshop of the beacon company, just waiting for the mutton to open in the pot, but Chang Mao has just taken the merchant group out, and it will be a few days before he can come back. This time, whoever gets the lamb first will be the first to open the business, and they will be able to set up a signboard.

"I didn't expect the sheep to be so sought after, I would have grabbed more if I knew it, those Mongolians have oppressed our people for so many years, and we should have asked them to collect more money." Looking at the hot trading scene, Nalan Hong was overjoyed.

The grain in the clan is about to bottom, the crops in the field are destroyed by the war, it is estimated that there will be no harvest, and seeing that the harsh winter in the north is approaching, the father who is the patriarch is already white-headed. He privately gathered dozens of clan partners and rushed a few days away to rob a Mongolian tribe, which alleviated the situation and saved Guan Xing and others on the way back.

Originally, some elders did not agree with this south, after all, before the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe established the Jin State but it was the same as the Song Dynasty, and it was the father who overrode the public opinion, and these horses and sheep were not enough to eat in winter, so it was better to take the risk and exchange food with the Han people in order to survive this winter.

Different from the chaotic merchants outside the flock, Gu Mingzhi leisurely looked at the medicinal materials brought by the Jurchens, Changbai Mountain is a treasure mountain, and there are countless kinds of medicinal materials, especially ginseng and deer antler velvet are the most precious, which have not been seen in the customs for many years.

"Brother Shen, come and take a look, these are all high-quality goods, you look at these ginseng, the five elements and six bodies are good, and the weight is more than seven taels, all of them are wild ginseng for more than ten decades." Gu Mingzhi leaned over to Shen Yue and whispered, looking like a profiteer, afraid that he would be listened to by the Jurchens.

Although Shen Yue doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, Gu Mingzhi is an expert in medicinal materials, and what can make him value so much must be excellent medicinal materials, the so-called "seven taels for infiltration, eight taels for treasure", he took over the errand of treating Queen Ma, if there are hundreds of years of old ginseng, maybe it can work.

Hurriedly called someone to find the military doctor Ma Liang, he had been sent to Shen Yue by Mu Ying, and after returning to the city, he nested in a few workshops, looking for someone to make some medical equipment for him, and he was a little reluctant to be called over, until he saw the ginseng and deer antler wrapped in red cloth on the table, and he was excited, like a vicious tiger pounced on food and squeezed to him, caressing the medicinal herbs with both hands, and chanting words,

"It's all good things, I've never seen such good medicinal materials in my sect, and using them as medicine guides is enough to bring the dead back to life."

Seeing that he said it so bluntly, Gu Mingzhi hurriedly pulled Ma Liang, who had a nymphomaniac look, aside, if he let those Jurchens listen to it, how could he still lower the price.

"Are there any medicinal herbs in here that can cure the queen's condition?" Shen Yue asked nervously.

Ma Liang came back to his senses, now that he is with me Shen Yue, he has also taken responsibility for the treatment of the queen's condition, and he has been pondering the method of treatment these days, thought for a while, and said hesitantly,

"The diagnosis given by the imperial doctor to the queen mother is a perennial accumulation of blood deficiency, and some people in the palace have also offered some ginseng treatment, but the effect is not great. However, there are two of these ginsengs that seem to be more than 500 years old, and it is uncertain to cure the queen's illness, but it should be done to alleviate the disease. ”

Shen Yue heard this good news and calmed down, with these precious medicinal materials, coupled with the magical ability of the Holy Fire Order, the effect should be even better, and now there is no need to worry about the future, and if you go to the capital again, you will be able to have an extra umbrella.
