Chapter 8 Rapid Wealth

Gao Yu came to the table with a candle and put the candlestick away: "Mr. Chen, please take a seat!" ”

Chen Kang stood still, still staring at Gao Yu tightly, Gao Yu smiled: "You are only half right, I am here to spy on the military situation, but I am not sent by Western Xia." Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info You have been observing me, do you think I look too much like the king? You've read today's letter, too! ”

"So what?"

"You won't report to the government, although your attitude of talking to me now is very tough, it can only show that the hardships of more than ten years have made Mr. Chen Kang, another timid and fearful person, become stronger."

"You, how do you know I'm not going to report to the police? Do you know that I used to be timid and scared? Chen Kang's eyes widened, his expression slightly frightened.

"Don't you sit yet?" Gao Yu looked at Chen Kang with a smile, and Chen Kang sat sideways on the chair, seemingly sitting a little reluctantly.

"I was sent by Dali, ostensibly to unite the Western Xia to fight against Jiaoguoluo, but in fact, I came to find an opportunity to take advantage of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty War to avenge the king of Zhennan." Gao Yu said in a low voice.

At this time, Chen Kang sat up straight: "Are you from Dali?" So why avenge King Zhennan? Could it be that there is something between you and the prince? ”

Gao Yu said, "I'm not a Dali person, my mother is a Dali person, you know what happened when Zhao Ji went south to Dali, right?" ”

Chen Kang nodded.

"Damn Zhao Ji, when I arrived in Dali through Erhai Lake, I accidentally saw my mother's beauty, with bad intentions, my mother didn't obey, he was, he was! ......" Gao Yu rubbed his forehead and thought about how to make it up below.

"What about him?"

"He asked the soldiers to kill my mother and burn down my post station, but thanks to the prince who saved me, he didn't kill me together."

"So miserable?!"

"That year, I was as old as Chen Yong! Later, the prince secretly entrusted me to Gao Zhisheng, the minister of state. I have a bitter enmity with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so I accepted a special mission, which is to make both Song and Xia lose. I am for Dali, and I am for the king of Zhennan. Mr. Chen, do you think that the prince is kind to you, and it has only been so many years of traveling and trekking, and you don't believe that the king is dead from the bottom of your heart, and you want to find clues related to him, you hate the court so much in your heart, how can you report to the official? ”

Chen Kang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he pondered every word of Gao Yu: "Zhao Ji, can you do that?" ”

"Why not? Think about it, why did Zhao Ji send people to keep an eye on Wang's affairs in Yongzhou, and put eyeliner everywhere so he found the gold mine in Guangyuan, and in the royal records now, did Zhao Ji mention that Zhao Ji had been to Dali? Why is that? ”

"Because he's afraid that people will know that he has done bad things, and he's even more afraid that people will know that he and the prince have turned against each other because of this!"

"That's right! Mr. Chan is so smart! ”

After hearing this, Chen Kang got up and saluted Gao Yu: "I'm sorry, Master Gao, I, Chen, misunderstood you!" ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "No courtesy! ”

"Do you want me to gather all the old departments of the prince, as long as it is to avenge the prince, I think everyone will definitely respond!"

Gao Yu stopped him: "Be quiet, don't alarm Liang Gongzi, don't do that first, it's easy to startle the snake, and things have to be done little by little." And now I have an important task on my side, and I can't divulge my ultimate purpose. ”

Chen Kang was a little too alarmed at this moment, he couldn't sit still, he limped and paced in the room: "Master Gao, you're right." I'm definitely not going to report to the police, let alone you saving my life. The prince saved my life back then, but I dragged the prince down, and now you save me again...... Don't talk about this, even if it is to avenge the prince, you say, what should I do! ”

"You should sit down!"

Chen Kang smiled and just returned to the table to finish.

"Did you drug us for dinner?"

"Childe, how do you know?"

"Because, he hasn't slept so well, listen, he's snoring!" Liang Yikui's snoring sound came from next door.

"That's it?"

"Of course it's not all, you're a master of gunpowder, and the level of the drug is too poor, if I hadn't secretly changed the medicine, the smell of your medicine would have been felt by him." Gao Yu said with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Gao has been prepared, but how do you know that I have read the letter?"

Gao Yu raised the candlestick, crooked, the candle dripped on the table, and he pressed it while it was hot.

"Dear, there is a hand mold in the letter, do you know? Not only does he have a hand model, but he also pays attention to the position, that is, Liang Yiqi is a little careless. ”

Chen Kang had to give a thumbs up: "Master Gao, you are really a master, if it weren't for your age and your experience, I really doubt that you are the son of the prince who is living outside." You and the prince are so similar. But ......"

This is a good idea, if Wang Bian is a few years younger, he will simply say that he is Wang Bian's illegitimate son, although that is a bit of a romantic Wang Bian, but at least it is justified. Hearing that Chen Kang had a but, Wang asked next to him, "But what?" ”

"But, you're different!"

"What's the difference?"

"To tell the truth, I'm Chen Kang's nest, our prince is more nesty than me, everything is high-sounding and focuses on the overall situation, what happened in the end? Isn't it inevitable to die? And I believe that it must be Zhao Ji who framed him! Gao Gongzi, you are different, although you are the same age as the prince, but you are ambitious and courageous. ”

"Isn't your prince ambitious?" Gao Yu asked.

"Hehe, let's not speak ill of him, but I think the so-called ambition of the prince is too illusory, what kind of strong soldiers and strong Song Dynasty, what kind of reform is so ambitious. In the end, it's all about making wedding clothes for others. What can you see? Even if Yongzhou was rich with a group of people back then, can it be said that the prince has made meritorious reforms? Don't forget that Yongzhou is not even one-tenth of the Great Song Dynasty, and people who have not become rich are unbalanced in their hearts, which is even more terrifying. Also, Yongzhou is really rich with a group of people, but so what? Those officials and businessmen were rich and unkind, and the prince's hard work was all in vain. ”

"It's a pity!"

"Yes! The prince is so wronged! And you look at it now, whenever there is any trouble, whether it is a disaster between heaven and earth, or any corrupt officials and corrupt officials doing evil, they all say that it is caused by the change of the law by the prince and his father, and all the basins are deducted from them, is there any heavenly reason in this world! ”

Gao Yu clenched his fists: "Yes, there must be." Mr. Chen, let's not talk about this, I have something I want you to do for me! ”

"Gao Gongzi, you say, as long as I Chen Kang can do it, I will not give up!"

"First, I want to know the whereabouts of the people from the old ministry of the original prince."

"That's fine!"

"Second, I may give up my position in Dali at any time, and I only take revenge on the king in this life, so I need silver taels."

"This ......" Chen Kang made a difficulty, he didn't have much savings over the years, and his illness was even caused by high rain before dinner.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't ask you to borrow it!" The king laughed, and took out a pile of scattered gold, which shone in the light of the candle.

"You take these, after a while we will go to Western Xia, after we leave, you will find a way to exchange all this gold into copper coins. Before I leave, I will introduce you to a reliable private salt merchant, you go to buy green salt in Xixia, and sell it in Xixia after you buy it. ”

"Why is that?"

"We came here through private salt merchants, I heard them say that the Tangut people recognized the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty, and the copper coins were bought for ten wen and one catty, and the silver was one tael of silver for 50 catties. One tael of silver can be exchanged for 700 copper coins, which is seventy catties of salt. ”

"Wow, that makes money too!"

"Don't worry, don't don't collect money when you sell salt, these years in Western Xia circulated a kind of Da Liao debt banknote, this kind of paper money with a face value of ten taels of silver can only be exchanged for real silver five taels. Therefore, when you sell salt, you only accept Da Liao pick, and you can buy 300 catties of salt according to the face value of ten taels per sheet. In this way, it is equivalent to the appreciation of this paper money, and there will be Tangut people who will not exchange him for silver but for salt. ”

Chen Kang listened carefully: "And then? ”

"Then you go to Liao, this kind of paper money can also be used in the Liao Dynasty, a lamb is about ten taels of silver, and it is about eight taels to buy with paper money. If you take the sheep back to the Great Song Dynasty, each lamb can be sold for fifteen taels of silver. During the Great Song Dynasty, a total of 100,000 lambs were bought from the Liao State, and the Song people were very accustomed to and accepted mutton. ”

After Gao Yu finished speaking, he pointed to the gold and said, "Here are twenty taels of gold, and this trip down, these twenty taels will become one hundred taels!" The time is about three months, you are using this hundred taels of gold, and then you will walk around, and then Yongle City will be repaired, and it is also the time when we need to use the money. ”

"Amazing! Amazing! Gao Gongzi, are you the reincarnation of the prince?! ”

"Hahaha, you think it's okay!"

"No, no, even if you are reincarnated, you will definitely be reborn!" Chen Kang couldn't think of a more suitable adjective.

"Okay, don't compliment me, there is another thing just now to visit the old department of the prince, you may not be small when you move around like this, so you definitely need someone to protect you."

"I've almost been able to find it, but the nearest one is General Manchang, who lives in Gyeongju right now! It seems that Zhi Kejun has been transferred back to the capital, but Zhang Pingshayuan, I saw them before I came to Yanzhou. As for the others, I'm afraid I won't be able to contact them for a while! ”

Gao Yu really wanted to ask about the situation of other people, but he was afraid that he would ask too much about Chen Kang's concerns that he had just dispelled, so he should think more. Suddenly, Chen Kang looked at the gold on the table and said, "Master Gao, why do you trust me so much?" ”

"Hehe, I don't trust you, I can trust Chen Yong. This kid is talented, sensible and filial, and even if he does bad things, he politely thank others. ”

Chen Kang smiled, although Chen Yong was not his biological son, he was proud. "You still have him with you this time, he knows better than you! Also, you're not allowed to use any drugs or anything like that! ”

"Okay, good, don't make it!"

Chen Kang followed the king's instructions and exchanged copper coins little by little. Finally, news came from the capital that the army was marching towards Yanzhou, and it was Shen Kuo who led the team, and the Yongle City to be built was also determined, just in the northeast of Hengshan as Gao Yu said, near the Wuding River.

Gao Yu and Liang Yiqi returned to Western Xia together, and then Gao Yu had to go to Xingqing Mansion to see Liang Luoyao. This time he must get through the trick and take Yongle City for himself!
