In addition to Xiao Li Guanghuarong, the fleet also carried a "foreign aid", that is, Deng Yuanjue, the Ming Sect Protector who played the role of a guide.

Because of him, the fleet had to make a detour. Originally, on the way, he would definitely pass by several salt-drying islands under Fei Bao's men, but it was because of this special guide in the fleet that this trip to the south had to become mysterious. In ancient times, Yu passed the door three times and did not enter, and now the owner of the Wang Zhai can only avoid his own cornucopia and detour. Fortunately, Chai Jin was not on the ship, otherwise it would have been a pity.

It is said that the method of drying salt is actually an extremely important financial source for the future development of Liangshanbo, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is top secret. Deng Yuanjue is not comparable to Hua Rong in the end, this Fang La's guardian Dharma King is naturally included in the object of "the weapon of the country cannot be shown".

The method of drying salt cannot be shown, but about the salt benefits, Wang Lun is still willing to share it with Fang La. In general with the agreement between Liangshanbo and Fangshan, Wang Lun is also willing to sell his own sea salt to the Southeast Sixth Road through the hands of Fang La, but I heard Deng Yuanjue say that Fang La does not seem to have interfered in the sale of illegal salt, but Wang Lun does not believe that such a way to make money, Fang La will not be moved!

Wang Lun, the shortcomings of Liangshanbo, is very clear, and the current forces can only be said to have a decisive influence in Jingdong, Hebei, and Huainan, but out of these roads, it seems a little beyond the reach of the whip. This is also one of the main reasons why he pulled Wang Qing to sell salt in western Beijing.

"The little monk doesn't dare to accept the owner of the village, but he will work hard to do this!" Deng Yuanjue patted his chest and promised Wang Lun, "Whether this thing is successful or not, the little monk is also willing to provide a qiē convenience, so that Guizhai's affairs in Mingzhou will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Liangshan wants to buy a large number of boats Deng Yuanjue knows, but as for what to do with buying boats, Wang Lun didn't say much, and Deng Yuanjue didn't ask much, in fact, for the old Jianghu Deng Yuanjue. This matter should be obvious, Liangshan is now in full swing of private salt trading, and Wang Lun is ambitious to compete with the imperial court for salt profits in the whole country, and the posture is definitely to expand to the scale of buying salt in the northern Liao Kingdom. After all, what other place can afford Liangshan's massive demand for private salt?

Thinking about this section clearly, the question arises again, Wang Lun can organize a fleet to go to Liao to sell salt, so why can't Mingjiao himself? How could Sect Leader Fang, an extremely smart person, be willing to take second-hand goods from Wang Lun? Wang Qing is because he lives in the mainland, and he has no influence at all on the coastal roads. It is too risky to go to the private salt of Western Xia, so it all depends on Liangshan.

The foundation of Kemingjiao is in Liangzhejiang, whether it is ships, ports, or sailors, they all have advantages that Wang Qing cannot reach. It's nothing more than that it takes some effort to get through the joints of Liao, and nothing else matters. Deng Yuanjue was a little optimistic about the private salt trade between Liangshan and Mingjiao from the bottom of his heart, so he finally added that he was willing to help Liangshan on this trip. It can also be regarded as a reward for saving people's lives.

Deng Yuanjue is a straightforward person, although he can hide his words, he can't hide his attitude, judging from his negative attitude towards the private salt trade between the two sides. Wang Lun was puzzled at the beginning, and later got some clues from the other party's words, and finally couldn't laugh or cry, not wanting this Baoguang Rulai to think that his sea salt was sold from Liao.

I can't help but praise this monk for his profound knowledge. The price of salt in Liao at this time was indeed much cheaper for the Great Song Dynasty. But that's because the Liao State is surrounded by the Bohai Sea, and the total population is only about 10 percent (about 10 million) of the Great Song Dynasty. It is cheap with salt, not that he has a more advanced method of making salt than the Great Song Dynasty.

But Wang Lun couldn't tell Fang Laming these words, because he planned to open up the private salt market on the sixth road in the southeast through Guò Fang La, and it seemed that the road was impassable, so he could only make another plan.

was worried, but asked Wang Lun to relax on the deck more often. It is said that when he left the coastal waters of Shandong at the beginning, not to mention the ships of normal sea trade, even the smuggling ships were rare to see a few, but the further south, the more likely the chance of encountering ships came and went, and when it came to the sea off Hangzhou Bay, there were countless ships coming and going, and Wang Lun at this time was able to appreciate the prosperous side of the Great Song Dynasty, a world trade power.

Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, Wang Lun knew that in a few years, because of the loss of a large area of land in the north, the tax source would be greatly reduced, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty would be more dependent on trade with other countries.

But what Wang Lun doesn't know is what kind of changes he can bring to this era. Calculated that the time he had crossed over was too short, and it was only in his early two years since the Communist Party was gathered, but the Jin Kingdom had already risen on the Liaodong Peninsula, and there was really a sense of urgency that time was not waiting for Wang Lun's heart.

……

Early one morning, Liangshanbo's fleet finally landed on an inconspicuous desert beach off the coast of Mingzhou, where the lack of a wharf and the problem of draft for sea vessels meant that the fleet had to be ferried back and forth by guò boats. But there is no way to do it, because the place is too lively, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going on the route, and if you don't want to attract too much unnecessary attention, you have to suffer this sin.

After working for most of the day, Wang Lun finally rode ashore with five hundred essences, and in the area south of the Yangtze River, where there was a lack of horses, Wang Lun didn't want to show too much style, and there was no need to bring the whole group of the guards camp.

With the guide Deng Yuanjue leading the way, this military horse is definitely not like the first time to set foot on the splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River, half a step does not take a detour, Wang Lun asked Deng Yuanjue why he is so familiar with this place, Deng Yuanjue smiled and said that he had lived in Mingzhou for a few years when he was young, Wang Lun suddenly said, no longer speaks at the moment, just greedy for the scenery of this place.

I saw a large mountain range, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. Looking up, the mountain peaks rise and fall in the thick fog, the hills are stacked, the forest is dense under the fog, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and the mountain cliffs and boulders often appear in the pine and cypress, just like a fairyland.

Wang Lun didn't know that Siming Mountain later had the reputation of "Xiaolu Mountain", but he secretly sighed in his heart that Pang Wanchun actually found a five-A national forest park to fall into the grass, and he had a good eye.

After walking like this for a long time, everyone bypassed the mountain bag in front of them, and suddenly felt enlightened, only to see a piece of well-layered terraced rice fields presented in front of everyone, so green that people were intoxicated.

"Not far in front is Pang Wanchun's nest, there is a checkpoint at the bottom of the mountain, it is very dangerous, it can be said that a husband is a pass, and this is the hinterland of Siming Mountain, the officers and soldiers don't want to go around to the back of the cottage from it, it is because the state government has repeatedly sent troops to conscript, and it has failed, because Pang Wanchun's arrow has eyes on it, and several officers who lead the team are folded in his hands, although he is only three or five hundred people here, the government does not dare to open him!"

Deng Yuanjue did not hide his selfishness, and came together in front of Wang Lun. Although Pang Wanchun is a talent that the sect wants to recruit, he has not talked about it again and again, this person has nothing to do with Mingjiao, and it is Liangshan who he provoked himself, and it is not Wang Lun, the Jingdong boss, who stepped on the line.

Wang Lun nodded, raised his eyes and found that there were many people working in the terraced fields nearby, obviously not taking Pang Wanchun, who had fallen into the grass here, as a big problem, it seemed that this person was arrogant, but there was still some bottom line.

"Brother be careful! There's a thief bird in the tree! When Wang Lun was in a fugue, he suddenly heard Li Kui at the front of the team shouting, when Wang Lun raised his eyes to look, he saw Li Kui climbing on a big tree on the side of the road, and he didn't have time to return to the belt of his trousers, so he simply abandoned it, Wang Lun subconsciously jumped off the horse, and met Jiao Ting, who rushed over to support, and ordered: "Go and see Monk Deng, his legs and feet are not dexterous!" ”

Jiao Ting was willing to leave Wang Lun's side at this time, waved his hand and called the two guards, and looked at the tree in front of him very vigilantly, only to see the branches and leaves, where could he see anything? At this moment, only a bowstring sounded, and the man who was very cleverly hidden in the tree fell in response, fell to the ground and snorted, unconscious.

Li Kui was amazed when he heard the voice, and exclaimed, "Why is it a female child?" Hurriedly turned over to inspect, Han Shizhong, who was rushing forward, shouted: "Tie Niu be careful, this guy is not dead!" Unexpectedly, the man on the ground seized the opportunity to turn over and get up, put a dagger against Li Kui's neck, and shouted: "Whoever stepped forward will kill this cattle thief!" ”

Only then did everyone find out that the person lying on the tree was actually a woman, although this woman had no moving color, but at this time she dared to hold a big man with a knife to pick her feet, and she instantly looked heroic, and the charm value exploded.

Everyone was stunned, and Han Shizhong also opened his mouth wide, although Li Kui was taken hostage by the other party, but for some reason, everyone had an urge to burst into laughter, not that everyone was not righteous, but the scene in front of them was too visually impactful.

Let's say that although this woman's appearance and demeanor are difficult to hook with gentleness and softness, her body is still feminine, and at this time, she uses a dagger against a beast-like man, not to mention how much contrast there is. At this time, even Wang Lun, who rushed over, couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly said that he didn't shoot "King Kong", could he use such a heartbreak.

When did Li Kui be bullied like this by a woman, he was suddenly annoyed and angry, his face was burning like fire, regardless of the sharp blade, he wanted to fight with the woman, the woman didn't guard against the black man under her hand and was still fighting, she really didn't want her life, she couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed, and between the scrambles, the sharp blade intentionally or unintentionally avoided this man.

In the flash of light, Li Kui has already snatched the dagger, but he can't stab it for a long time, he has killed a lot of people in his life, except for the life that he caused in his hometown back then, but the others are all upright enemies on the battlefield, not to mention killing women, at this time, in the face of this situation, his brain is not enough.

Just when everyone didn't know what Li Kui was doing, they saw that he suddenly made an astonishing move, threw the dagger in his hand, and looked left and right and said:

"Where's the plate axe? My axe! Where is this knife used to kill people! That woman, don't go if you have the guts, wait for me to take the axe and take your life! (To be continued......)
