readx; Seeing Zheng Bin leave, Cui Da returned to his seat, and the shopkeeper who sent Zheng Bin away returned to the back room, looked at Cui Da and said, "Did the big shopkeeper ever tell Gonggong Zheng about our difficulties?" ”

Cui Da shook his head and said: "I didn't say it, it's useless to say it, but people have a new task to send to us, let us check the ins and outs of the two palace maids!" ”

The shopkeeper slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Our business in Hedong was destroyed by Li Dongchu, Jiang Zhelangtan, and these fierce generals, why don't they care about Gonggong Zheng?"

If we pay so much money to the palace every year, can't we get their mercy? The queen dealt with us, the honorable dealt with us, Wang Anshi dealt with us, and now even Yun Shuai has turned his face against us, and if this continues, this business will not be able to be done.

Cui Da sneered and laughed: "I remember that you didn't see it that way back then, when you raised your hand to vote, it was nine to one, and you threw me, the big shopkeeper with two voting rights, into the ditch."

The good and the bad are all your own choice, now you can't get off the boat, instead of complaining now, it is better to cheer up and do things for His Royal Highness the Prince, so that we will have a predictable future, otherwise, once abandoned by His Royal Highness the Prince, hehe, it will be a problem for us to return to Shu in a smooth way. ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and whispered bitterly: "Why is the emperor not dead?" ”

Cui Da smiled: "Believe me, if the emperor is now in control of Bintian, our fate will be even worse."

Prepare some gifts, I'll go to Yun's house. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "Yun Shuai is targeting us......"

Cui Da smiled: "You always look at the wrong person, Li Dongchu and their affairs, I dare to pack the ticket Yun Shuai and don't know, so this matter was done by Li Dongchu and them in private, and it has nothing to do with Yun Shuai."

When we were in Dousha Pass, it was Yun Shuai who threw all the family property to us, not us. The Yun family knows this very well, at least Yun Yue knows it clearly.

If we want to save our business in Hedong, we must have the voice of the Yun family. ”

"Yun Zheng's whole family is in the prison, why are those generals still loyal to him?"

Cui Da saw that the shopkeeper exposed the businessman's most unsightly and forgetful face, and felt that there was no need to explain to the shopkeeper what this prison was called not another prison, and he was even more reluctant to explain to him the kind of life and death between soldiers.

It's just been a year. Shuzhong Commercial Bank encountered an unprecedented cold snap in the Great Song Dynasty, and encountered unprecedented resistance from the Great Song Dynasty nobles in Tokyo, Hebei, Hedong, Jingzhao, Hejian, Huainan, and Jiangnan.

The willingness of those people to lose money and crush the Shuzhong Commercial Bank is very obvious. This made the Shuzhong Commercial Bank, which was bent on following the rules of the merchants, unable to resist at all, and now it has reached the point where there is no way back.

Losing money is not important to Cui Da, the more ruthless he loses money now, the higher the future income will be, which is certain, so seeing those deficit numbers on the books, Cui Da is not only not angry, but a little happy.

The harder you lose money, the harder you lose. The deeper the royal debt to himself, if this affection can become the link between the Shuzhong Commercial Bank and the royal family into a symbiotic relationship. Then no matter how much money you lose, it's worth it.

Zhao Xu will definitely become the emperor, Cui Da has never doubted this, although the queen is now very powerful, but the potential strength of the crown prince is even stronger.

Before the crown prince is a minor, the queen may be in charge of the government for a few years, but once the prince is an adult. The queen can't be the lord of the crown prince no matter what.

When Empress Dowager Li was in power, such a strong Empress Dowager ruled the Great Song Dynasty for eleven years, and in these eleven years, even if she didn't like Zhao Zhen anymore, she cared about Zhao Zhen very much. is afraid that something will happen to him, once Zhao Zhen has an accident, it is absolutely impossible for Empress Dowager Li to survive the next day.

The sentence of sharing the world with scholars and doctors is doomed to Liu E, and it is impossible for Empress Dowager Liu to become Wu Cong! Empress Cao, whose strength is much smaller than Liu E, has no such possibility.

Therefore, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with hugging Zhao Xu's thighs.

Cui Da's carriage was blocked when it crossed the Washizi Bridge, and there were many cars and horses on Suzaku Street in front, and a group of Xixia people wearing fur furs were passing by Suzaku Street, although it was summer, these Xixia people were still tightly wrapped, and a strong fishy smell came over, making people almost unable to breathe.

The people of Tokyo are full of disdain, covering their mouths and noses to point at these barbarians, they didn't dare to do this in the past, because who knows if those barbarians will beat themselves, since Yun Zheng defeated Wuzang Pang on the side of the Yellow River, the courage of the people of Tokyo has become a little bigger, I heard that the real wax statue of Zhang Zhi, the fierce general of the Western Xia, is still placed in the Wucheng Hall of the Great Song Dynasty, so they look down on these barbarians who have a strong smell of shame from the bottom of their hearts.

Cui Da frowned and listened to the people outside whispering about the jokes of the Tanguts, and he couldn't laugh at all.

In recent years, the Tangut people have been working hard to promote de-sinicization, they have abandoned their favorite silk in the past, put on leather robes, they have abandoned the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, and began to break up the army of the whole country in the tribal mode of the past, and began to mix and fight, so that each tribe people regard other tribesmen as their own brothers.

Tribal integration is a difficult and painful process, but the blood on the battlefield is the glue that bridges the rift between the clans, and after a few major battles, even the most stubborn people have to throw their backs to other fellow guards.

Cui Da talked with Su Shi and knew that Su Shi had a saying that he was barbaric and civilized and spiritual, and he thought that such a proposal was very reasonable, but there was no possibility that it could be implemented on a large scale.

Looking at these barbaric and simple Western Xia warriors today, Cui Da felt that it might be difficult to make a person, a tribe, or a country civilized, but it was very easy to make him barbaric.

For the Tangut people, Cui Da's understanding of them is much deeper than that of the ordinary Great Song people, he not only knows that the current Tangut people are invincible in the river, but also knows that the Tangut people have wiped out the Huangtou Hui last year, and forcibly migrated these Huangtou Hui people back to Yumen Pass, and they are ready to use these Hui people to make up for the population lost in the previous years with the Great Song Dynasty.

Since the defeat of Wuzang Pang, under his strict constraints, the unruly life capture army has never entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and robbed a single person.

In this way, there were no slaves to supplement the population, and Pang naturally targeted the savages outside the pass.

For a time, they extended their power to the river, and they were almost close to the Shangjing Road of the Liao State.

Cui Da looked very carefully, there were indeed many outsiders with high eyebrows, deep eye sockets and beards among the Western Xia warriors, which showed that the strength of the Western Xia people had developed considerably in these years, which was not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

There are many reasons why Yun Zheng was imprisoned in the prison, and the one Cui Da believes in the most is that Yun Zheng privately mobilized his own samurai into Beijing.

After a quick look just now, there were five hundred Western Xia warriors walking in front of him, and Tokyo City could accommodate five hundred heavily armed Western Xia people to enter the city, but the farmers of Yun Zheng's family were not allowed to enter the city, which was simply the biggest joke.

Cui Da entered the door of the Yun family, and shouted for wine, Yun Yue came out to greet him, the two sat in the flower hall and did not start talking, Cui Da had already drunk a jar of wine.

"I'm the one who should be depressed now, why do you seem more depressed than me?" Yun Yue grabbed a broad bean and threw it in his mouth and asked with a smile.

Cui Da said angrily: "You are depressed, you eldest brother entered the prison I heard what a great glory, those ghost shadows you left in Dengzhou are now killing people on the sea will be stained red with blood, and now the communication between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, the Wa Kingdom, and Liaodong has been cut off, and anyone who wants to eat a bite of ginseng has to look at your face, what are you depressed?" ”

Yun Yue smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just that no one wants to go to the sea to earn those bitter silver, if you are willing to go to the sea, you will also make money." ”

Cui Da looked at Yun Er and said, "You don't have to pay, just go to sea with the goods?" ”

Yun Yue frowned and said, "Without ballast cargo like silver, I'm afraid that the wind and waves overseas will be too big and the ship will overturn." ”

Cui Da smiled: "You mean to use my family's silver to press your cabin?" ”

Yun Yue nodded with a smile and said, "In this case, everyone's boat will be very stable." ”

"The Yun family's pirate trade has already opened?"

"Not yet, but you have already started to sell sea dragon flags, do you want to buy hundreds of noodles to hang on the ship in your Shuzhong commercial bank? I promise that your ship will not see a single pirate at sea, and if you can beat the waves, you will earn it. ”

"Okay, I'll buy a hundred noodles first, tell me, how much silver? I won't talk about copper, you brothers don't seem to like copper coins. ”

Yun Yue smiled and picked up his own pair and pointed to the corner of his clothes and said: "When I was a child, my eldest brother was afraid that I would lose it, so he sewed some silver into my clothes, but as a result, when I grew up, this problem fell, and if I didn't sew silver bills in the corners of my clothes, I couldn't wear them."

It's just that now the gold leaf has been sewn, and sewing ten taels of silver into the clothes is really a bit unorthodox. ”

Cui Da sighed and said, "How many gold leaves are you going to collect for a flag?" ”

Yun Yue said with a smile: "The Yun family is more reasonable, if you want to sail safely on the sea, the Yun family only needs one percent of the value of the goods!" ”

"Why don't you rob it?"

"I'm just robbing! You forget, my house is going to be a pirate house. ”

"Write a letter to Lang Tan and them to make it clear, it's really not that I want to devour your family's property in Shuzhong, I saw him, he spat fiercely, and said that it was cheaper for ......me to kill me without killing me with a knife." )
