Chapter 296: Tang and Han Smuggling (2-in-1)
Although Li Feng was persuaded by Ren Haijiang to start smuggling with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was not a Chinese empire after all, and Li Feng was still very cautious about smuggling for the first time, not only the amount was very small, but also asked Ren Haijiang to be personally responsible.

At this time, Ren Haijiang was leading a caravan to a Tang-Han border to prepare for trading, and the caravan was very conspicuous along the way, for the simple reason that the way this caravan transported goods was still a primitive carriage.
Although horse-drawn carriages still exist in the Tang Kingdom, almost all of the large caravans have been replaced by cars, and the carriages are only used by all ordinary people, and such large-scale caravans are still very rare.
However, even so, this is only a drop in the bucket for the business of Yue Wangfu that Li Feng took over, you must know that the Yue Wangfu once monopolized the land transportation of the entire Tang Dynasty, and now the number of horse-drawn carriages eliminated can be described as astronomical.
Ren Haijiang drove the caravan on the cement highway very eye-catching, but since he was going to do smuggling, of course, many things had to be prepared.
When the caravan was about to reach the Han and Tang borders, the convoy left the road directly and walked on a dirt path, which was now unwalked, and the roads were overgrown with weeds on both sides.
However, it is such a desolate road, but it is guarded by the border guards of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, a border guard team had already been waiting for a long time again.
"Why didn't you come until now? This place where the birds don't poop can make us wait, have you brought something?" The captain of the border guard team was obviously already waiting and was a little impatient.
Ren Haijiang was not dissatisfied because of the team leader's complaints, but nodded and smiled: "Hehe, the military master is hard, the military master is hard, of course the small one is ready, this is for you." With that, he handed the squad leader a storage ring.
The team leader took the ring, and after confirming the contents of the blood-dripping confession, he immediately lost the irritable mood just now, and said with a smile: "Brother is indeed quite good, go over." Then we won't bother you. With that, he left here with the team members.
Ren Haijiang continued to lead the caravan along the path, and after half an hour, they listened, the reason was very simple, there was no road ahead, only a cliff.
Seeing that there were many people on the cliff, Ren Haijiang sent people to play flags and began to communicate with the people above. After the two sides confirmed their identities, dozens of ropes were thrown down from the cliff, and Ren Haijiang also ordered people to start unloading and tying them to the ropes.
Since most of the monks who came out this time, dozens of truckloads of goods were handed over soon.
Just when Ren Haijiang was smuggling with the people of the Han Dynasty, the people of the patrol team just now had already begun to secretly distribute the filial piety money given by Ren Haijiang.
"Big brother, it's okay for us to do this, if this is found out, it's a matter of killing the head?" One of the soldiers was still a little worried about such a thing.
"What are you afraid of, look at the border army up and down the entire Tang Dynasty, how can there be such a scumbag like us, I heard that the guys who are now in charge of the Huaxia border are now all very rich, not only can they afford to buy cultivation spiritual liquid to improve their cultivation, but it is said that they also sent their children to school in the Huaxia Empire.
You are looking at our side, I don't know what madness Your Majesty is doing, last year he severed relations with the Han Dynasty, after blocking the border, is this the life of a human being? Not to mention fishing for oil and water, where birds don't lay eggs, the big brother autumn wind can't find a place.
Brothers, don't blame my brother for not showing you the way, let's save enough money and immediately resign from the military region and live a rich life in the Huaxia Empire, this Datang can't stay. If you are afraid of the brothers, you can say it now, and you will never be embarrassed to be a brother, just don't know about it.
But if anyone seems to have cut off the brothers' financial route, don't blame the elder brother for saying ugly things in front, and don't blame the brother for turning his face and not recognizing people when the time comes, okay, who still has a problem now?" The squad leader said at the end, his eyes were already full of hideousness, and the soldier who asked just now hurriedly said that he would never betray, and the others also echoed when they saw this.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's divide the sky spar now, take the money, and we'll be people on the same boat. After that, Ren Haijiang removed the shiny celestial crystal from the storage ring given by Haijiang.
Everyone swallowed their saliva when they looked at the piles of celestial crystals, and the team leader saw everything in his eyes, but there was not much in his eyes, so he began to divide these celestial crystals equally, and also said: "Everyone is a brother, no one wants to take more, it's all the same." ”
However, only he knew how much Ren Haijiang gave in the storage ring, and looking at the soldier who was holding the Tianjing Stone with a satisfied expression, the team leader couldn't help but smile.
After Ren Haijiang completed the handover of the goods, the wooden platform began to fall from the county office, similar to the elevator used to build a house, and after the elevator fell, Li Feng's people began to drive the horses and vehicles together.
After all, the Han-Tang border is not the Huatang border, the smuggling here is not rampant, in fact, there is no rampant capital here, the Han Dynasty has no smuggling value at all, of course, this Ren Haijiang does not exist, in the future, with Li Feng's smuggling on the Han and Tang borders, you can feed the entire Han and Tang border guards, but these are all later words.
Now for the first time, Li Feng and Ren Haijiang are just petty fights.
After the complete handover, Ren Haijiang began to return the same way with the people, this time he did not meet the border guards, and went directly to the cement road, where there was already a bus and a car waiting for a long time, and the person sitting in the car was Li Feng.
After arranging for the others to get on the bus, Ren Haijiang went straight into the car.
"How's the matter? Is it done?" As soon as Ren Haijiang sat up, Li Feng asked anxiously.
"No problem, everything has been done, there are no problems on the border guards' side, the Han Dynasty has also paid the money, I have already seen that it is not bad. With that, he handed over the space ring to Li Feng.
After Li Feng took the ring, he immediately dripped blood to recognize the master, and after confirming the celestial crystal inside, his heart that had been hanging was finally put down. By the way, since the Huaxia Empire only charged celebrite for the construction of electrons for various countries, international trade is now settled in spar.
"Let's go, go back to the city. Today, I want to celebrate, you have made great contributions to Ren Haijiang, and Your Highness will definitely not forget your benefits. ”
"Hehe, thank you, Your Highness, the villain really doesn't dare to hope. ”
"Don't worry, I've always been true to my own people, don't say it now, let's go back to the city, I'll drive today!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Li Feng and Ren Haijiang drove away, the team of the border guards had already divided the stolen money, and after this incident, it can be said that everyone got on the boat.
On the side of the Han Dynasty, this smuggling has just begun.
For Ren Haijiang and Li Feng, this transaction was smuggling, but for the Han Dynasty, this transaction was completely legal, because it was Liu Junluo, the emperor of the Han Empire, who led the matter.
Under Liu Junluo's seclusion, the Han Dynasty can be said to have returned from a new era to a time when there was no Chinese Empire and no Shang Weiyang.
The peasants cultivated the land, the merchants sold, the civil and military officials went to court every day, the small sects all over the country jumped the gods when they were idle, the landlords calculated whose land rent was about to arrive, and they could take the land over by skill, and the army was constantly practicing after a large number of army expansions.
According to Shang Weiyang, such a country is a typical feudal agricultural country. Although it seems to be strong, it is not even the opponent of the once weakest and now divided Qin State, let alone the two continental overlords of the Tang Dynasty and the Huaxia Empire.
However, the surface of things is always different from the inside, in fact, according to speculation, the main reason why the Han Dynasty closed the country is because it is likely to have been controlled by demon beasts, and for industrialization, after seeing the muskets and artillery of China a few years ago, demon beasts certainly do not want such a big killing weapon to be used by everyone.
Therefore, closing the country is the best coping strategy, but feudal agricultural countries have many natural defects, such as medical problems, such as food that can never be eaten.
Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of the rule and the Han Dynasty to play a role at a critical time, Liu Junluo had to find a way to import grain and other materials.
Now the first batch of materials has been from the Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and now all we have to do is to transport the materials to the capital of the Han Dynasty and put them into the treasury.
The location of this transaction was actually carefully selected by the Han Dynasty, and even a permanent project was built, which was probably the place where the entire Han Dynasty used the most machinery, all kinds of cement platforms, pulley blocks, and old-fashioned steam engines were all available, but the entire Han Dynasty was probably limited to this.
At this time, the official in charge of this matter was directing the soldiers to load the goods onto the carriage that had just been caught, and was about to leave for the national capital, but among these soldiers, one of the soldiers quietly remembered all the goods here.
A soldier's memory cannot be so good, and it is clear that this soldier is not simple.
In fact, this person is the latest intelligence officer sent by Lian Chuang to the Han Dynasty to carry out intelligence work, codenamed 007, this time the intelligence officer has a lesson from the past and completely changes the routine.
It does not focus on the arbitrage of information from the upper level, but takes root at the grassroots level and obtains all kinds of information about the Han Dynasty through analysis.
However, just as 007 was focusing on two things, he suddenly discovered that among these soldiers, the others of CNOOC were also memorizing the cargo list.
In an instant, 007 understood, this is likely to be the intelligence elite of the Tang Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty, but it can't be used to be like the people of the Chinese Empire, but it is indeed enough to disguise the people of the Han Dynasty.
007 silently remembered this incident and began to pretend that he didn't know anything and continued to work.
In fact, the reason why the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty also followed the path of the Huaxia Empire to block the Han Dynasty was entirely because the Mingyue Sect shared information with the Sanqing Palace, and it was obvious that the elders of the Mingyue Sect were very sure that the Sanqing Hall was on the side of the human race.
And none of this has anything to do with 007, and his level is not high enough to know such a high level of secret.
At this time, his purpose was one, to investigate the anomalies in the Han Dynasty, and to send the information back to the Chinese Empire safely.
On the return journey, 007 began to think about how to write the report after returning to China.
In fact, the reason why 007 came here is because, in a country that rejects industrialization, he actually went to great lengths to build a steam engine.
It can be seen that 007's intelligence work ability is very strong, not only discovered the steam engine, but also can personally infiltrate and spy on the front-line intelligence, just by virtue of this, I don't know how high it is higher than the intelligence officers of the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty.
Just when 007 was thinking about how to write a report after returning home, suddenly the team listened.
"What's going on? How did the convoy listen?" shouted the accompanying official, sitting in the car at the back of the convoy.
After a while, the soldiers in front came over and reported: "Lord Qiyu, it has been raining a lot recently, the road ahead is softened by rain, and the wheels of the convoy are deep in mud. ”
"Bastard, you can't do such a thing, what do you want, you let the people behind push it, and the people in front pull it, I don't believe that the car can't get out. ”
"But my lord, the soldiers are exhausted when they pass through all the cars, and there will be bandits when the time comes, what can we do?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty Wen Taowu has been in peace for a long time, where did so many bandits come from, delaying Your Majesty's affairs, how many heads do you have? The whole army obeyed the order and made every effort to get rid of the quagmire, there must be no mistakes, this is an order. ”
The entourage had already reached this point, and the leader had no choice but to let the people behind him start moving.
In this way, 007 began to push the cart with manpower and the soldiers in a car, and at this time, he also secretly looked at the intelligence personnel of other countries.
Obviously, none of them have 007's qi cultivation skills, and they complained again and again.
When the mud was out, the leader of the soldiers said well, and everyone looked exhausted and listless.
007 didn't have the leisure to think about how to write a report after returning home, but helped the carriage to hurry, and sat in the car from time to time to rest.
Sitting in the car, 007 looked at the weeds and abandoned fields on both sides of the official road, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, can this broken road still be called an official road?
However, at this time, the wave did not subside, and the wave rose again, and 007 suddenly felt that he heard a shout of killing, and then he immediately sat up and began to listen carefully.
Sure enough, when he confirmed, he heard the sound of shouting and killing again, and now it is a post house close to the Han Dynasty, it stands to reason that the bandits will never dare to provoke the post house, but this shouting and killing is real, and the moon is close to the post house, the sound is clear, until the rest of the team also hears the voice, and the leader of the soldiers began to report to the accompanying officials, and he made a decision.
