The Song and Liao countries forbade any commercial and trade exchanges, and the fact could not be forbidden. For example, the last thing the Khitan wanted was for merchants to smuggle a large number of war horses to the Song people, and what they wanted most was to smuggle lake salt to the Song realm. Salt is produced in the Khitan territory, and the lake salt does not need to be boiled, and it does not need to be dried, and it can be eaten when knocked down. And it was very successful, which led to the Song Dynasty not being able to implement salt in Hebei, and even if it was implemented, it also failed due to the smuggling of Khitan salt to the south in large quantities. However, there was also an unsuccessful side, and many war horses were smuggled into the territory of the Song Dynasty in a steady stream.

The Song Dynasty wanted to smuggle the Buddhist scriptures and the Nine Classics in the past, and wanted to civilize the Khitan, or silk and tea, but it also succeeded, and many Buddhist scriptures appeared in the Khitan, so that the cause of Buddhism became stronger and stronger. Many powerful people were obsessed with tea and silk from the Central Plains. The last thing I want to smuggle in the past is silver and copper, the Song Dynasty is also in short supply, and there are many political articles, but they are also smuggled, and as soon as many strategies come out, they will go to the Khitan territory, and maybe Song Jiu's set of books will also reach the Khitan. There are also copper coins, which also flow into the Khitan territory in a steady stream.

Can't ban it.

However, it is very difficult to bring people to each other.

Bring the goods over, the guards on both sides saw it, received the benefits early, turned a blind eye, if they brought people, they were spies, in case of leakage, they would cut off their heads.

Don't look at a person, if you can bring a thousand stone lake salt, you may not bring a person from the Khitan to the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu was thinking about whether there would be other troubles if he brought it over. Yuping suddenly said: "Jiulang, no, he is now a Guoyi lieutenant of the Yongqing Khitan garrison. ”

The Khitan practiced a north-south system. The south refers to the sixteen states of Youyun, and the Han governs the Han with Han. Most of the official positions were modeled after the Tang Dynasty system. Lieutenant Guo Yi is a deputy of the Zhichong Mansion, which is equivalent to the deputy commander of the first battalion of the Song Army.

"Guo Yi, ah......" Song Jiu was stupid. It's no wonder that Yuping sent someone to inquire in the front, and then got the news. It's hard to find ordinary people, is it still difficult to find a Guoyi?

"He's all Guo Yi, why didn't he send someone to inquire about my news?"

"Yuping, don't complain, because he is resolute, and the two countries are at odds with each other, and they will do everything to defeat each other. Once he sends someone to inquire about your whereabouts. I'm also worried that the court will use your identity to threaten him. It's for your own good that I don't look for you. ”

"Slave ......"

"Are you sure?"

"Not yet."

"Next time, let them let the people over there confirm, such as the birthmark on your body, your birthday, or other privacy, it may not be him, maybe it's a coincidence, it's really him, it's good to be alive. At least there is a concern in everyone's hearts, and concern is also a kind of happiness. Song Jiudao. If it was really Guo Yi, I am afraid that he would have gotten married and had children over there, and he could find a way to get an ordinary person over, but could he get a Guo Yi over? I can get it. People don't want to.

But what Song Jiu was worried about was the future battle of Song Liao, and the Song army began to fight all the way to the city of Youzhou. Not to mention Yongqing on the front line. Also, how to go from a slave to a resolute one. There will be a lot of stories in between.

Apple nodded.

The speed is fast, Su Xiaoyu came out of the palace. was afraid of gossip, and then Song Jiu made a small blind date and let Li Zhu see it, Li Zhu was happy, and Jin Hai plugged in. quickly found a good day and gave Li Zhu a three-day holiday to let them get married.

Then a series of festivals came, the 24th New Year's Festival of the lunar month, cleaning, sacrificing to the god of the stove, burning paper money, and some families invited monks and Taoists to chant the scriptures. Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and sometimes the palace summoned the courtiers to welcome the new year, but this year there was none.

After writing the peach charm, start setting off firecrackers.

But this year, Yuping has a little more concern, looking up at the north amid the sound of firecrackers. Song Jiu sighed, most likely that father was Zhen Yuping's father. What can Song Jiu do? It's to endure the pain and cut love to send Yuping over. How can a girl's family send it over, no matter the vendors and pawns along the way, all of them are like wolves and tigers, and when they see Yuping's appearance, they have nothing to do with themselves, it is a little sheep sent to the tiger's mouth. Or just cooperate well, send someone to meet at the border, and send someone to follow, Yuping arrived over there, the family is a stepmother, most of them have children, and they are also angry in the past. Just like Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi is a mother and a concubine, and she has no children yet, otherwise she will not have anything to do with the Bi family, and Tsing Yi will also be embarrassed.

Damn war.

Thinking of this, he took Yuping's hand and gently comforted and stroked her.

Yuping smiled and said, "Jiulang, don't worry, the slave family is also in the blessing and does not know the blessing." ”

"I don't blame you, I'll worry about it."

Yuping just held Song Jiu's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Song Jiu would let go.

The next day was New Year's Day. In fact, the New Year's Eve is at midnight, and it begins to be lively, which is similar to that of later generations, once midnight, every household sets off firecrackers and changes peach charms. Then he ate and began to run around, and he couldn't stop it.

The dawn begins, and so does the New Year's greetings. I personally worship the most noble relatives and elders, originally Song Jiu came to the Song Dynasty to worship the eldest sister in the first year, but not this year, the Pan family is the real elder. However, it is also necessary to pay New Year's greetings, and all the good friends, friends, and ministers should prepare gifts, and send servants to hold "thorns" (business cards) and go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings. Song Jiu had prepared hundreds of them, and of course, he had received more gifts this year. In the future, there will be more and more, and there will be no shortage of gifts from students alone.

The Song Jiu family also did not have servants in the real sense, including Zhang Yuanyuan, who was not considered a servant, so they had to let Guo Da and Guo Er do the work on their behalf. Ping can't leave, and has to be the hostess at home. Song Jiu came to Pan's house.

This can also be regarded as a new son-in-law coming to the door, the only baby son-in-law, the Pan family opened the middle door wide and welcomed in.

Tian didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, his face was very calm, and he sent someone to bring out fragrant tea, Wuxin plate (a kind of vegetable box, divided into five, with garlic, small garlic, leek, brassica, carrot, five kinds of spicy cold vegetables, it must be eaten on New Year's Day and spring), after eating tea, Tian asked people to serve vegetarian cakes (plain noodles).

Still didn't see Pan Li'er.

Song Jiu was eating noodles, and he didn't want to ask.

After eating, Tian said, "Weide and Weigu let you wait for them to come back." ”

"Whoa."

Tea was served again, and there were fruits for Song Jiu to relieve his boredom. Tian said: "These fruits are made by the old body, and they are not as delicious as yours." ”

Song Jiu brought a lot of fruits. It was a snack prepared for Pan Weizheng and Pan Weiqing, looking at the third son who was gobbling up. Tian said: "Xiao San has eaten a lot of money from you." ”

For other people, ordinary people don't understand, why don't they make fruit at home, but Tian's husband is Pan Mei, Pan Mei's governance of the army is also strict, military discipline and industry governance are similar, and there are no rules for such a big industry.

"Not much, it's a child, carefree for a few years, and when I grow up, I have to take on family responsibilities. I can't be happier anymore. Get used to it. ”

"Weide is married, and he is still a child."

Song Jiu didn't dare to answer, not only Pan Weide, but also many Yanei are not the same? This is considered a good thing, don't show Wang Jixun who has nothing to do with cutting slaves and maids, or robbing wives and playing in the high office.

After waiting for a while, the Pan brothers came back, and they were overjoyed to meet each other and came to a bear hug. Pan Weigu knocked on Song Jiu's head: "If you proposed marriage the year before last, wouldn't you be able to come to pay New Year's greetings last year?" ”

Pan Weide knocked his head: "Second brother, where was he last year, can he grow wings and fly back to pay New Year's greetings?" ”

"I forgot. Little Nine. We heard you're going down again? ”

"Look at the cow, it won't be long, a month."

"Take us there."

"No, I can't. Although this line is not a war-torn area, the scope of the trip is also wide. From Shaanxi to Hedong, Hebei, Shandong, Zhunnan and Henan, it is very hard. ”

"We are not afraid of hardship." The brothers held Song Jiu on the left and on the right. Said. It's really hard, but where do the brothers know that it is a good time to travel in February and spring flowers.

Song Jiu looked at Tian, and Tian said: "If the court does not prohibit it, you can take them down to have a look, just come back in March, and only get married in late March." ”

"What about Taixue?"

"You don't know what to do in the third division?"

"Jiantaixue has nothing to do with the three divisions, and the three divisions are only responsible for auditing the accounts and expenses."

"Taixue has not yet been built, and some people say that this is a national academy, and it should be luxurious, at least not too shabby. Some people say that it is just a academy, and learning is the main thing, and it cannot be extravagant and wasteful, but it will mess up the hearts of students. So Taixue went back and forth, originally completed at the end of last year, it is precisely because of the dispute between the two sides, some of the school buildings have not been built, the deep winter is coming, and the cement can not be used, saying that it is the beginning of this year, it is estimated that it may not be completed in the summer. Xiao Jiu, why is the river so fast? ”

Song Jiu didn't answer.

The river island project is large, but there is no ripping, of course fast. It can't be said to be fast, if the entire river island project is calculated together, it is not called fast, but very slow.

Tian asked strangely on the side: "Song Jiu, why do you want to look at the cow, you have to see so far?" ”

"Repay the mother-in-law, if you want the people to take the initiative to raise cattle, it is not enough to prohibit the people from slaughtering by the law, if the law works, the Qin Dynasty will not perish so quickly. This is a very complicated problem, so I want to go down and take a look at the pastor, some pasture, some terrain, and the situation of the people, and try to solve the problem of cattle in two ways, one is that there is more meat, there are more sources, and if the price falls, the price of beef will also fall. The second is the increase in cattle prices. It doesn't necessarily work, just go down and take a look. It's better if you can think of it, and your majesty won't blame me if you can't think of it. ”

"As the price of cattle increases, won't more people be unable to afford cattle?"

"What you can't afford is still what you can't afford, and it has nothing to do with the price of cattle. Now the problem is not that cattle are expensive, but that there are too few cattle. Cattle must be protected by some means, and once the cattle population keeps up, the cattle price will automatically plummet. Just like the glaze, I just burned it, a beautiful glazed product only sells for a few dozen yuan, and after each change hands, it becomes more than a thousand. But now let's try again. Without him, when there are more of them, the price will automatically fall. But it's an idea, it's hard to execute, and you have to think about the consequences. You have to go down and see it to know the way. Mainly I'm clumsy and can't think about it at home. ”

"Well, how can the cow be sold?"

"The price of cattle has not risen, mainly because of the imperial court's guidance and control, but it is in short supply. His Majesty once said that I can sell the expensive into cheap, and I can sell the cheap into expensive, not necessarily, but if it is in short supply, it can be sold expensive. But this consequence is a bit serious, and it must be considered severe. ”

"yes." Tian nodded, and didn't say anything more, letting his sons gossip with Song Jiu.

Suddenly, the playground steward rode a donkey to Pan's house, saw Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang, the playground is not good over there." (To be continued......)
