Chapter 9 Rather Bend than Bend (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Buy wool at a high price, two pennies a catty, or exchange it for two white-flour steamed buns, or you can exchange it for cloth, salt, and tea...... How much to change, if you have wool at home, take it for it! ”

On the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, a super-large caravan of up to 1,000 people was trading wool with the herdsmen of the Liao State.

Because wool has always been regarded as a useless thing by the nomads, and does not produce economic value, so when the herdsmen of Liao heard it, there was a foolish caravan actually buying wool, although the price was not high, but it was better to have money than no money!

As a result, countless Liao herdsmen went home to shear their sheep, and then loaded hundreds of catties of wool and ran to the border to exchange for steamed buns, cloth, salt, tea and other materials.

No one asks for money, and it is the materials that give them more peace of mind than money.

Because of the emergence of this super-large cross-border caravan, the herdsmen of Liao have an additional source of income, and the lives of the people of Liao are much better.

But as long as they can be fed and clothed, how many people are willing to risk losing their heads to fight?

Because of the appearance of this caravan, the willingness of the people at the bottom of the Liao State to fight continued to decrease, causing the kings of the Liao State to be angry and anxious, but they did not dare to force the herdsmen to fight. Although they have established a state, the overall social form still exists in the form of tribes, and once it arouses the dissatisfaction of the tribes at the bottom, it is really possible to copy the guys and kill you.

What's even worse is that in addition to wool, this caravan also buys various specialties in Liao at a high price, such as medicinal herbs, ginseng, pine nuts, hazelnuts, fungus, mink, deer antler velvet, etc., which stimulates the 'entrepreneurship' heart of the people at the bottom of Liao.

In just ten years, the Liao State became an economic partnership of friendship and trade with the Great Song Dynasty, leaving the emperors of the Song Dynasty dumbfounded.

The problem of border troubles, so solved?

Just by a caravan that came out of nowhere?

But this caravan is really powerful, the wool products produced over the years are warm and comfortable, why no one has found that wool can be used to make all kinds of goods! Especially sweaters, wearing a sweater and sweaters on a cold winter day is simply not too warm.

There are also specialties in the territory of Liao, I didn't expect the products to be so rich, especially ginseng and deer antlers, which are so expensive, it is simply a money grab, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a little red-eyed and wants to knock down the Liao State and do this business by himself.

Fortunately, his head was not confused, and he knew how many pounds and taels his army was.

Now it is good to maintain economic and trade exchanges between the two countries through business, reduce the risk of war, and the turbans can spend the moon and sing and dance.

One way or another, peace is good.

……

Youzhou.

Huang Shang looked at the income of this year's caravan and nodded: I have earned another Prince Gong's Mansion.

"Official, let's drink some ginseng soup!" Bai Suzhen came over with a bowl of grits soup and said with a smile: "Don't be too tired." ”

Huang Shang raised his head, stretched his waist, and said, "Hard work lady." ”

"Officials work hard." Bai Suzhen said: "For the peace of the people of the two countries, the officials have paid too much. ”

"Actually, it's also to make a little money." Huang Shang smiled: "For example, the mansion we live in now can't afford to live without making money." ”

The current mansion is modeled on Prince Gong's mansion, from the beginning of the site construction, to the occupancy, a total of five years, spent countless money, but also led to the local economic development, so that the local construction team formed a certain degree of scale, small merchants and hawkers also set up nearby, those five years, every day is full of market atmosphere.

However, eating, drinking, and Lazar will always cause health pollution problems, so Huang Shang had to spend money on underground pipeline projects in the local area, and built many toilets in many places where the public gathers.

Because of the huge scale of his caravan and the thousands of servants under his hands, even the local government and army did not dare to eat and take cards, otherwise it was likely to cause unpredictable consequences, anyway, Huang Shang would also be a man, and the sweetness that should be given was given, if he dared to be greedy, but many people died strangely and violently.

In ten years, he relied on the caravan composed of bean soldiers to greatly develop the local economy of Youzhou, and even began to take Youzhou as the center, radiating to the entire land of Yanyun, and will definitely radiate to the entire Great Song Dynasty in the future.

Even if he is not the emperor and does not enter the court as an official, Huang Shang still builds infrastructure in this world.

The blood of the infrastructure madman is not cold, and the heart of the infrastructure madman is not dead.

Huang Shang took a sip of ginseng soup and asked, "How is the lady's cultivation today?" ”

"Thanks to the guidance of the officials, it went quite smoothly." Bai Suzhen nodded with a smile.

"It's just some cultivation experience, it's nothing." Huang Shang held Bai Suzhen's hand and played with it carefully: "The lady's fingers are thin, long, soft and smooth, like mutton fat and jade, no matter how you play with it, it is not enough." ”

Bai Suzhen's face was slightly red, and she said, "The official praises falsely." ”

"Tell me the truth." Huang Shang smiled slightly and said, "Being able to marry a lady is a blessing for three lives." ”

Bai Suzhen's heart was filled with happiness: "Being able to marry an official is the luck of three lives." ”

"Wang-"

There was a dog barking outside the house, and Huang Shang patted Bai Suzhen's hand: "There are guests coming, let's go and rest first!" ”

Bai Suzhen nodded: "The official remembers to drink the ginseng soup." ”

"I will live up to my mother's wishes."

……

Soon, a little Lori dressed in red and green, holding a pipe, walked into the reception room surrounded by two delicate maids.

Seeing Huang Shang, Xiao Lori's eyes were charming, and her tone was frivolous: "Yo~ I didn't expect to see you for more than ten years, but it's so good." ”

"I didn't expect you to come to Youzhou." Huang Shang stepped forward and rubbed his big hand on her head a few times: "Baoqingfang is gone?" ”

Little Lori is Ah Jiu, who was rubbed a few times by Huang Shang, squinted her eyes comfortably, and said, "How can you not do it, it's just that you haven't had any business recently, and I suddenly wanted to come to see you, so I came." ”

"It's been a hard time." Huang Shang immediately instructed the maid in the house to prepare refreshments, and then took Ah Jiu's hand and walked to the chair and sat down, saying, "You haven't encountered any trouble all these years, have you?" ”

"I'm not in trouble, but you're in trouble." Ah Jiu laughed.

"Me?" Huang Shang was puzzled: "What trouble can I have?" ”

"Do you remember when you beat up the Dragon King of the East China Sea?" Ah Jiu said with a smile.

"Yes." Although more than ten years have passed, beating the Dragon King of the East China Sea is the most rewarding thing he has ever experienced in his life. Fighting the dragon king is like winning Usain Bolt in the 100-meter race, and that sense of accomplishment is not something that can be exhausted in a few words.

"Is he going to take revenge on me?" Huang Shang asked.

It shouldn't be possible, he used the spirit rune to make the Dragon King swear, if he dares to retaliate, he must be mentally prepared to be punished by heaven.

"He didn't mean to get revenge on you." Ah Jiu took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a breath of demonic gas, and said, "But the entire dragon clan has felt that their face has been damaged because of this incident, and they are trying to find ways to make you look good." ”

Huang Shang sneered: "I want to see how they make me look good?" ”

"Don't underestimate the dragons." Ah Jiu rarely lost a smile on his face: "The dragon clan is in charge of the work of spreading clouds and rain in the world, if they let Youzhou go rainless for three years, it will be a big trouble." ”

Huang Shang shook his head: "Although the dragon clan is responsible for the clouds and rain, the specific time is arranged by the heavenly court, and the dragon clan is just an execution, there were dragon kings who deliberately made mistakes during the Tang Dynasty, and thus were cut off by their heads in a dream, I don't believe that those dragon clans dare to risk cutting off their heads to do such a thing." ”

"They don't dare, but what if they ......" Ah Jiu pointed to it: "Acquiesced?" ”

Huang Shang's expression was a little more solemn: "Why?" ”

"I don't like the peace of the world!" Ah Jiu took a puff of cigarette, spat out demonic breath, and said, "Who would think of them when they are too peaceful?" ”

"So, I'm getting in their way?" Huang Shang asked.

"It's not big yet, so I'll teach you a lesson. If it's big, then ~ it's hard to say. Ah Jiu smiled and said, "The fist is not big, so don't care too much." ”

Huang Shang was silent for a moment and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"I have my own channels." Ah Jiu blinked: "Don't ask more." ”

Huang Shang nodded: "Do you want to meet Xiaobai?" ”

"Nope." Ah Jiu said: "My little concubine doesn't dare to play prestige in front of his wife. ”

Huang Shang chuckled and asked, "When will you go back?" ”

"So looking forward to my return?" Ah Jiu rolled his eyes: "What a ruthless man." ”

"That's all you have left." Huang Shang pinched her face: "I'll let you stay, do you dare?" ”

"Humph!" Ah Jiu rolled his eyes: "I'll leave later, there are a lot of things in Baoqingfang!" ”

“……”

Touching Ah Jiu's head: "It's bothered." ”

"It's good to know." Ah Jiu got up and kissed him on the cheek: "I'm leaving." ”

"I'll send you."

……

Seeing off Ah Jiu, Huang Shang looked up at the sky, his face sinking like water.

The nanosatellites are revolving around the world, and the heavenly court of this world is in the sky, completely under the monitoring of the nanosatellites, and every move of the gods was filmed by the nanosatellites and transmitted to Huang Shang's mobile phone.

Two months later, when there was a severe drought in Youzhou, Huang Shang built a keel waterwheel to irrigate the farmland. At the same time, the dragon king of the local river sent shrimp soldiers and crabs to destroy the keel waterwheel, which was discovered by the bean soldiers and all of them were killed.

The Crystal Palace of the local Dragon King was frozen and could not leave, severing its connection with the Heavenly Court.

After that, many well dragon kings muddied the well water, causing the people of Youzhou to drink unclean water and a plague broke out.

Huang Shang and Bai Suzhen refined the detoxification pill and threw it into the well, so that the people could drink it, and the plague would be cured.

All the Well Dragon Kings died mysteriously and violently, and their souls were nowhere to be seen.

The dragons were terrified, and the heavenly court was shocked.

Baoqingfang, Ah Jiu was stunned for a long time when he heard the news.

Taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling a breath of demonic gas, Ah Jiu suddenly smiled, and his eyes became more and more charming: "It is worthy of the man I chose, a big hero who would rather bend than bend, it is really fascinating." ”
