Wang Shannian is about 20 years old, is the fourth generation of Liao Han people, born in the music workshop, since he was a child, he is good at playing the horizontal flute, proficient in music, and when he grows up, he mixed with a group of market guys to kick the juju, and after a few years, he became a master of the juju, and he looked handsome, three years ago he was favored by Yelu Yixin, so he accepted him as a fake son, raised in the house, and changed his name to Yelushan.

Wang Shan is clever, lively, and there is no bottom line of principle in doing things, as long as he gives money, he is willing to help, and the Han people who ask him to do things are endless, and Yelu Yixin, who is extremely greedy for money and bribery, also found this, so he asked him to be responsible for collecting money for the Han people.

In the Liaodong Restaurant in the south of the city, Wang Shan drank two glasses of wine, and his already lively eyes added a bit of brightness, "You mean the imperial merchants of the Song Dynasty?" ”

Mo Ting nodded, "He wants to see Yelu Xiangguo, if Yaneiken introduces him, he will give Yanai three hundred taels of gold as a benefit of introduction." ”

"How much?" Wang Shan's voice changed all of a sudden.

"Three hundred gold, he said it himself."

Wang Shan was so happy that he was about to explode, and the other party made a move of three hundred taels of gold and three thousand yuan of money! You must know that he has collected tens of thousands of yuan for his father-in-law over the years, and the benefits he has received are only two or three thousand yuan, which is simply a big pie falling from the sky.

However, the other party was not an ordinary person, but an imperial businessman, Wang Shan didn't dare to be careless, and asked: "This imperial businessman has an official position!" ”

"There is a fictitious official, but there is no real job."

Wang Shan thought for a while and said, "Can I see him first, so that my father won't be able to answer when he asks me." ”

"Yes, let's have a meal together at noon, and I'll introduce you to it."

.........

In the afternoon, Wang Shan hurried to Yelu Yixin's other residence in Tokyo.

Yelu Yixin was about 50 years old, burly and dignified, a few years ago he participated in the pacification of the Yelu Chongyuan Rebellion, served as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, entered the King of Wei, and was promoted to the prime minister of the Northern Court last year, and won the trust of Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Yixin is known as the first traitor of the Liao State in history, and is the culprit of the decline and destruction of the Liao State, but at this time, Yelu Yixin is in the middle of the saint, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, Yelu Hongji is not interested in government affairs, and almost all of them are lost to him.

It stands to reason that Yelu Hongji should be in Beijing when he drove to the Juma River, and Yelu Yixin should sit in Beijing, but he knew in his heart that Yelu Hongji was now more concerned about the reconstruction of the Tokyo Palace, and seeing that the imperial court was almost out of money to recruit new troops, he allocated a lot of money to rebuild the Tokyo Palace, which was more brilliant and magnificent, and as for how much benefit he could get from it, only he himself knew.

Yelu Yixin is sitting in the study and carefully enjoying a kiln official porcelain teacup, which was found in a well when building the palace today, a teapot with four teacups, all from Ru kiln official porcelain, is a eunuch in the chaos into the box thrown into the well, the eunuch died in the chaos, this box was found and salvaged by the craftsman today, the chief supervisor dedicated it to Yelu Yixin.

Just when Yelu Yixin opened his eyebrows and smiled and enjoyed the tea cup, the voice of the fake son Yelu Shan came from the door, "Father, there is a big deal coming." ”

Yelu Yixin's eyes lit up, he liked to hear this sentence the most, so he laughed and said, "Come in and say!" ”

Jerushan walked in, bowed and said, "The child sees his father!" ”

There are many people who like to break their sleeves among the high-ranking officials of the Liao people, Yelu Yixin is also one of them, Yelu Shan is the male pet he raised in the house, but Ye Lu Shan is very smart, clever, and can make money for him, Yelu Yixin looked down on him, accepted him as a fake, and asked him to make money among the Han people for himself.

Yelu Yixin smiled and asked, "What big deal?" ”

"The child met the Song Dynasty Emperor today."

Yelu Yixin was stunned, of course he knew that the imperial merchants of Songcheng were businessmen who did private business for the royal family of the Son of Heaven, and they belonged to the nature of half-officials and half-merchants, but the war was breaking out in Hebei now, how could the imperial merchants of the Song Dynasty come to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo?

He wondered, "Where did he come from?" ”

"He said that he came from Kunzhou, and when he went ashore in Goryeo, he came directly to Liaoyang Mansion."

This is about the same, if you come from Hebei, then it will be nonsense, Yelu Yixin frowned, "What are they looking for me to do?" ”

"They want to build a trade channel, and they ask us to buy goods, and they can pay the bill in gold, or with other things that my father is interested in."

Yelu Yixin walked a few steps in the room, although because of the war, the mutual market between Song and Liao has stopped, but the merchants will also trade with the Liao through other paths, such as Goryeo and the like, but this Song Dynasty imperial merchant has found himself, Yelu Yixin is the prime minister after all, and has a political sense that ordinary people do not have, and he immediately noticed that there must be another article in this.

He asked quietly, "What do they want?" ”

"They want to buy old sheepskins, stallions and pig iron."

"It's okay to buy old sheepskins, but stallions and pig iron are strictly forbidden to trade!"

"Father, if they wanted to buy ordinary goods, they wouldn't have found Father."

Yelu Yixin pondered for a moment and said, "Just now you said that they paid the bill with gold or something I am interested in, what do you mean something that I am interested in?" ”

"For example, the property of the Song Dynasty, silk, tea, porcelain, land, ......."

"Wait, tell me what he said."

"The Guo merchant said that he could pay the bill with the best porcelain, silk, and tea cakes from the Song Dynasty, and if his father was interested, they could even use the land to pay the bill."

"How do you say that you pay the bills with land?"

He didn't elaborate, but the child was relaying his words.

Yelu Yixin thought for a moment and said, "So be it! I will see him tonight, you will arrange it, and I will keep this matter a secret for me, including you and your middlemen, and you are not allowed to leak it out at all, otherwise don't blame me for killing people and killing people. ”

Yelushan was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured father, the child will never leak this matter, and the same is true for the middleman." ”

.........

At night, a carriage drove directly into Yelu Yixin's other house, the carriage stopped in the courtyard, Yelushan got out of the car and asked Guo Kui to come down, "Mr. Guo, please, my father is waiting in the study." ”

Guo Kui nodded and followed Yelushan towards the study.

Walking outside the study, Ye Lushan reported at the door: "Father, Mr. Guo is here!" ”

"Let him in!" There was Jereth Ethsin's voice in the room.

"Mr. Guo, please!"

Guo Kui walked into the study, only to see a middle-aged man sitting behind the table staring at him, he stepped forward and saluted unhurriedly, "Imperial merchant Guo Huaixin see Yelu Xiangguo!" ”

Huaixin is Guo Kui's cousin, and the average Song Dynasty official doesn't know much, let alone the Liao people.

"How do you prove that you are an imperial merchant?" Yelu Yixin asked coldly.

Guo Kui took out a gold medal and handed it to him, the gold medal of the imperial merchant is real, as the spy leader of the Great Song Dynasty against the Liao State, he has any identity.

Yelu Yixin saw that there was the word 'Imperial Merchant' on the gold medal, the font was familiar, and it was not a newly created card for some years, so he nodded and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Guo is not just an Imperial Merchant!" ”

"How so? I am indeed an imperial businessman, but I also have many other identities, such as last year, I visited Japan as a special envoy of the Son of Heaven, and I also went to Nanyang countries as a messenger of the Son of Heaven. ”

Yelu Yixin nodded, he believed that the other party was telling the truth, he waved his hand, "Mr. Guo, please take a seat!" ”

Next to him, Yelushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Huaixin finally passed.

Then Yelu Yixin said to Yelushan, "Go to the door and watch, and no one is allowed to come near." ”

"Yes!" Jerushan went out and closed the door.

Yelu Yixin asked coldly: "You Great Song should not lack pig iron!" You might as well tell me the truth, what the hell are you trying to do with me? ”
