Chapter 10 Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
readx; The Khitan people hesitated for a long time before finally gritting their teeth and agreeing to exchange, now the color beads of the Liao country have been very few, the best Dongzhu in the past are captured by Haidongqing, and now Haidongqing has become the most popular goods in recent years, no one cares at all, if a Haidongqing can bring a few bad quality Dongzhu to the eagle keeper in a year, it is better to sell Haidongqing at a high price, such as changing to a high-grade pearl.

This is a way of life of killing chickens and taking eggs, but it is a pity that the Khitans and Jurchens living in Liaodong have no choice.
The evil consequences of the Liao Empire's defeat on the battlefield finally fell on the heads of the people, if the war was defeated, he would naturally be able to bring countless benefits to the Liao State, but unfortunately they were defeated, not only once, but twice, in the two crucial battles against the Song State and the Western Xia, the Liao State was not able to win.
Millions of troops were mobilized, and all kinds of materials needed were piled up, even the behemoth of the Liao State, after holding out for half a year, the people behind the army had to tighten their belts to supply the needs of the war.
Nothing was gained in the two wars, and the only gain was the dead and wounded soldiers, these soldiers needed to be appeased, and the defeated army needed to be appeased even more, Yelu Hongji almost emptied the treasury of the palace for this reason, which is why he risked the world's condemnation to use the treasure left by his ancestors, and did not hesitate to marry Xiao Hongzhu to the emperor of the Song State.
In the past, the Khitans and the Jurchens, the Far Easterners, and some other small tribes could be squeezed, but now it is not done, the premise of squeezing these small tribes is to have an army, but now the Khitan army is stuck in the four Beijing divisions. To impeach Jeresin, there is no longer any power to restrain these barbarians.
Everyone knows the ambition of Sura Hague, everyone knows what this remnant of the Bohai Sea wants to do, from the Liaodong town guard to the emperor Yelu Hongji, they all know that the only thing that Liao can do now. It is to appease Sula Hague, hoping that he can continue to contribute all kinds of finances to the Liao State, and as for the things he wants to build a country, I will talk about it in the future.
Yun Er has money, gold, and silver on him. When he went out, his sister-in-law Lu Qingqing prepared 50,000 Jiaozi for him to use in Liaodong, and Qin prepared an extremely rich bag for him.
The reason why he would barter transactions. is unwilling to let the Liao people get any benefits.
Pearls are not very valuable in the Great Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng got the century-old treasury of Jiaozhi from Jiaozhi, and pearls are not durable to hide, so the royal reward to ministers and meritorious people over the years is pearls.
In the emperor's northern expedition alone, the royal reward for pearls was as much as 30 buckets, so the expensive pearls in the early years have now become something that ordinary people can afford.
If gold, silver, and copper coins were used in such large transactions, the Liao people would be able to buy many of the things they needed from the Song in an instant, such as grain and cloth. Even ironware. If you use pearls, you don't have to worry about this, although the good pearls in the Great Song Dynasty are precious. There aren't many people who are really willing to pay for it.
The big guy was holding the ginseng that the second young master had just bought in his hand, squatting beside the young master and smiling as he watched Boss Yan beat the Korean merchant, the Korean merchant's guards were already lying on the ground and were busy caring for their bodies, the bamboo pipe was still spurting blood, and no one had the time to care about the Korean master anymore.
"I am Wang Xuan, Marquis of Goryeo Guolelang......"
Before he finished speaking, he was smashed in the mouth by a fist of the winged fire snake. The big guy's face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Yun Er's arm and said, "Young Master." This Lelang Marquis Wang Yu was the third son of the King of Goryeo, and his mother was Li Fei Han of Goryeo. It's not a small source. ”
Yun Er frowned and looked at this dark and thin middle-aged man, a little unconvinced that this person was Goryeo's Le Langhou.
A few years ago, when Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty had not yet severed their offerings, he had seen several Goryeo students in the Tokyo Guozijian, and they were all the sons of the princes of Goryeo.
The Marquis of Lelang is the second son of Wang Heng, the king of Goryeo, and he can't match his age. Waved his hand to stop the brawl.
Yun Er looked at the Goryeo merchant and said, "Who are you from Wang Wei?" ”
"You robbed the second king's ginseng, and the second king won't let you go."
Yun Er looked back at the ginseng in the big guy's arms, and looked at the Khitan merchant who had just sold the ginseng to himself in confusion.
The Khitan merchant pointed to the ginseng in the big man's arms and said, "This is what I bought and sold to you, it won't be wrong, the Korean people may think that you plan to rob his ginseng." ”
After speaking, he also pointed to a horse-drawn carriage next to him and the ginseng stall next to the carriage.
Yun Er laughed and walked straight to the side of the carriage, the guys of the Yun family took the first step to lift the curtain, only to see a woman with beaded hair curled up behind the carriage, and in front of the carriage, there were seven or eight very beautifully packaged boxes, two of which were still jade letters!
The Koreans reminded Yun Er that if he didn't have enough strength to protect his goods on Black Mountain Island, he deserved to be snatched away.
Naturally, there was not much interest in Goryeo women, and the guys were happy to move those boxes from the carriage, and the big guy opened one of the jade letters and said happily to Yun Er: "Second son, look at it, this ginseng is much better than the two you just bought, it looks like it has been available for a hundred and fifty years, good things!" ”
The Khitan merchant glanced at it and smiled: "At least one hundred and eighty years, Gongzi can be regarded as a jackpot, but you have to weigh whether you can eat these black goods." ”
Yun Er said with a smile: "I have a good appetite, there is nothing I can't eat, don't say that this guy is just a steward of Wang Ju, even if Wang Ju comes in person, I will rob the son." ”
The Khitan man bowed down and said: "I don't know that Gongzi is the young master of the sage mansion of the Song Kingdom, and I ask Gongzi to show it, so as not to have many misunderstandings." ”
Yun Er shook his head and said: "I can't say, it's not that I'm afraid of Wang Ju, it's that my family won't let me say it, it seems that you have a relationship with this Korean man, if he is unwilling, tell him to let Wang Ju come to the alley outside Xuanwu Gate to find me, my house is in the second house, it's easy to find." ”
The Khitan people are also very single, and said with a smile: "Since the prince has ordered, I must bring the words below, the ginseng brought by the Koreans is good, it is on the northern foot of Baitou Mountain, it is also called Korean ginseng, and it is most suitable for women and women." ”
Yun Er laughed, thanked the Khitan merchants, and turned to leave.
The guys of the Yun family who can be sent to Liaodong are basically the offspring of some of the thorns of the Jiazi battalion, and only this kind of guy with a pungent smell will be sent here to hone his skills, and those with a mild personality are now serving as buddies in the Tongdu Dayi of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will despise them in those places.
Naturally, these guys wouldn't leave anything left for the Koreans, if it weren't for the Yun family's strict prohibition on molesting women, that Goryeo woman might be resisted by them.
The Khitan merchant stood where he was and didn't leave, which was very unusual, because the other ginseng merchants saw that Yun Er had started to rob, so they avoided it far away, so as not to rob the master and move away with their own goods.
"The alley outside Xuanwu Gate? There are only two nobles there, one is Di Qing and the other is Yun Zheng, and I don't know if the second family this kid said is from south to north or from north to south, but this young man is not surnamed Yun, he should be surnamed Di.
It seems that this kid is telling the truth, and only the two of them will have such a strong family for him to call.
The son of a daughter can't sit down, it's really strange that such a noble son would come to this remote place, could it be said that he sneaked out to play? ”
The Khitan merchant shook his head, turned around and asked his men to clean up the stall as well, the sun had already come out, and it was time to go back to eat and rest.
Yun Er returned to the inn, cleaned up the ginseng in his hand, and planned to take a nap, the habits of the merchants here are like the grass market in the countryside of the Great Song Dynasty, the market opens at dawn, and the market begins to close in the middle of the day, and in the afternoon the island of Montenegro becomes quiet.
Standing on the beach can be blown by the cold wind for less than a quarter of an hour, so no one is in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sea view on such a cold day.
The smug on Yun Er's body, who returned to the room, disappeared in an instant, and he listened to Shopkeeper Sun tell him about the consequences of his troubles today.
"Second son, Sula Hague has agreed to negotiate with Childe in his Montenegro Villa yesterday, this matter has been decided, it seems that Sula Hague is on Montenegro Island for a while, it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Suzhou Cheng throughout the winter, which shows that this guy regards Montenegro Island as more important than Suzhou City.
As for the Sun Sancao that Hai Lianzi said, the old slave asked a few good businessmen and pirates today, no one knows where this person is, if he wants to really build a city in Liaodong, Montenegro Island is the best place.
Because Sura Hague transferred most of the trade here, and the trade in Suzhou City was limited to the local barbarians and Khitans, as well as the Sumo people, so Sun Sancao did not have much profit to establish a city port division in Suzhou, and if he wanted to make a big profit, he had to come to Montenegro Island and establish a city port division here. ”
Yun Er's fingers kept tapping on the table, and he looked up and asked, "Do you think this Sun Sancao is on Black Mountain Island?" I made such a big move today, and I don't know if this guy saw it. ”
The old slave asked very clearly, the city of Liao will be officially established in the spring of next year, and Sun Sancao should start preparing at this time, otherwise he will have to wait another year. Do you think that this person is on the island at this time, but I don't know if he is in Sura Hague's house, if he is there, young master, you will not be able to talk to Sura Hague about the sale of weapons and armor.
