Bringing the newly produced goods to the market for trading is something that Zhao Yingluo has planned.

After the fight with Liang Da is over, she will take crops that are not available in this era to Zhongshan Rongchang to exchange important strategic materials such as horses and leather produced by Jinguo.

In the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, although the number of cavalry could not determine the outcome of each war, it also played a huge role that could not be ignored.

Cavalry is highly mobile in the face of infantry, and a cavalry team of 1,000 men can even break up an infantry force of 10,000 people.

The Liao and Jin kingdoms also relied on cavalry when they went south to fight the grass valley. Many of the situations encountered on the border between the two countries were that the cavalry of the Liao and Jin countries quickly retreated after plundering. By the time the Great Song army pursued, they had already withdrawn to their borders.

Therefore, if you want to resist and defeat the Jin Kingdom, you must suppress it with the same number of cavalry or even multiple the cavalry of the other side, and if you want to strengthen the cavalry, you must have enough horses. However, all the good war horses are controlled by the Great Jin Kingdom, and if you want to build a strong cavalry, you must buy good horses from the Jin Kingdom!

"I wonder what the county lord wants to barter? I'd better be prepared in advance. ”

"Horses!"

Wanyan Zongyi was stunned, not to mention that horses are also strategic materials in the Great Song Dynasty, even in the Dajin Kingdom, horses are either used for news exchange between the two places, or they are sharp weapons for charging into battle!

She wants horses obviously not the former, it can't be the latter, right? No way! No......

Maybe it's possible!

Wanyan Zongyi suddenly thought of the news provided by the informant recently, saying that after Zong Ze recruited the tens of thousands of horses, he quickly gave the command to his daughter-in-law Shen Wanshu, and heard that Zong Ze dissuaded Emperor Zhao Ji from moving south several times.

Behind this series of events, there seems to be an unknown power struggle planned.

Could it be ...... Zong Ze intends to train his righteous daughter to become the lord of Kaifeng? If this is the case, Dajin can use this to canonize another emperor and further divide the Great Song Dynasty.

"The horses are their own, I don't know how much the county lord wants?"

Zhao Yingluo smiled lightly, "How much do you have, how much I want, I'm afraid that you can't collect any horses as a ginseng seller." ”

Wanyan Zongyi said a little proudly, "Ten thousand horses are a bit laborious, and a thousand horses are easy." ”

"I don't know what Mr. Yan wants to barter?"

"As long as it is the goods brought by the county lord, I will accept all the orders."

Wanyan Zongyi's hearty and straightforward made Zhao Yingluo have a little good impression of the Jin people for the first time, and it seems that the Jin people are not like the Jin army to burn and loot and harm the people.

"I will definitely bring the best crops! Half a month later, we will see you in Zhongshan Mansion! ”

After successfully inviting Zhao Yingluo to go north, Wanyan Zongyi left Kaifeng the next day, and before returning to Yanjing, he sent people to the Daimyo's mansion and asked Liu Yu to immediately send troops to attack Kaifeng.

But Liu Yu is not a fool, now that Kaifeng City is guarded by Zong Ze, and there are more than 100,000 horses stationed, how easy is it to capture Kaifeng City? But you can't help but show it to the golden people.

So he sent a scale of 10,000 men to attack and occupy Puzhou.

Puzhou was originally Wang Zaixing's territory, and after Wang Zaixing was recruited, he immediately evacuated all the troops from Puzhou in accordance with Zhao Yingluo's instructions.

Without the defenders, Puzhou, which had only the security guards, was in a completely undefended state, and Liu Yu's army occupied Puzhou almost effortlessly.

But he was also limited to occupying Puzhou, as for Lanzhou and Kaifeng, he only shirked the reorganization of the armament war, hoarded grain and grass and then sent troops.

Wanyan Zongyi didn't care about him, and after returning to Yanjing, he began to use the power in his hands to requisition and buy horses everywhere, although he was a little jealous of Zhao Yingluo's use of buying these horses, but there was always a voice urging him subconsciously. Be sure to satisfy her! Be sure to satisfy her!

Wanyan Zongwang heard that he was shopping for horses everywhere, and went to Wanyan Zongyi's mansion with some curiosity.

Wanyan Zongyi was overjoyed when he saw that he was coming! Wanyan Zongwang is now in command of all the armies of the Dajin Kingdom, and if he comes forward and evens out a thousand horses from the hundreds of thousands of military horses, it must not be a difficult task.

"Horses are military supplies, and if Your Majesty knew about it, he would definitely blame you, and this matter is not feasible."

After Yan Zongwang's answer, he was not surprised, but he was not in a hurry, "Brother, do you know, why did I agree to her?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang said disapprerovingly, "I heard Lord Han say that this woman is outstanding, isn't it because you are fascinated by her appearance, so you agreed to her?" Listen to my advice, now dozens of the royal daughters of the Great Song Dynasty are in Yanjing, all of them are outstanding, if you want a few, you can show your majesty and pick a few good looks to give you. Why risk being punished by His Majesty to curry favor with her. ”

Wanyan Zongyi was questioned by him, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Did you really decide to take the risk to buy horses for her sake? No, by no means!

"Brother, that's wrong! I promised her to do so for the sake of my Dajin Kingdom. Do you know that she has many high-yielding seeds? ”

"I heard Lord Han say, what is the seed called 'corn', the production capacity per mu is 1,000 catties, if this crop can be widely planted in my Dajin country, then the army of my Dajin country will no longer lack grain and grass, and once the army goes south, the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is not far away."

"My brother only knows 'corn', but she doesn't know that she also has high-yielding crops such as 'potatoes' and 'sweet potatoes', and according to the information my brother's knowledge, crops such as 'potatoes' and 'sweet potatoes' are drought tolerant and most suitable for planting in sandy land. In addition, these crops can be eaten raw or roasted, which are most suitable for the expedition of the army, and this kind of crop is what our Dajin country urgently needs. ”

"Oh? So what do you mean? ”

"I intend her to come to Zhongshan and exchange a thousand horses for her seeds, and for a dozen servants who are proficient in the cultivation of such crops."

Wanyan Zongwang finally understood what he had to do, "In this way, with seeds and people who can grow these two crops, we don't have to buy them through the farm." ”

"Exactly!"

"Why bother, why bother, we might as well send a large army to snatch her directly!"

Wanyan Zongyi smiled, "She is Zong Ze's righteous daughter, and in recent years, there have been frequent wars, and my Dajin Kingdom is not sure of victory, if my father had no concerns, he would have ordered his brother to lead the army to Kaifeng again." ”

"According to what you say, even if she comes to Zhongshan Mansion, we can't keep her?"

"Brother, help me get together these thousand horses, as for whether she stays or not after she comes to Zhongshan Mansion, it is up to my father to decide."

"That's it! This matter is up to you for the time being, now that Yanjing has 10,000 new horses, I will call the shots with you 1,000 horses! But once Your Majesty blames ......"

Wanyan Zongyi instantly understood, and said with a smile, "Everything has nothing to do with my brother. ”

……

What happened in Yanjing, Zhao Yingluo didn't know, now that the corn harvest is imminent, she and Liang Da who will win or lose is about to be revealed, in fact, the winner or loser has already had a result at the beginning.
