Chapter 15: The True Face of Martial Arts (3)

Guozi looked at his son strangely when he heard this, as if he didn't expect this nine-year-old son to be so smart, and asked a few questions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But when I think of my son's reading all year round, I feel that my son's precociousness seems to have learned from books, and he should be the same when he reads.

After listening quietly, Guozi faced that there was no one around the tent, so he beckoned Situ Xuan to sit down beside him, thought for a moment, and sneered softly: "Of course the people from their Sanjian Mountain are coming, not to mention that they are in Shuofang, even the ends of the earth, they have to come here, because this trouble was originally caused by them." Zhang Laosan still thought that I didn't know the joints, the day before yesterday, I came to Tiejianmen to invite me to deal with Koi Village, and actually gave me what kind of morality, saying that Koi Village kills people and sets fires, and it is natural to eradicate them, let me come forward to call the shots, and save a lot of harm for Jin. He praised me so much that he almost didn't praise me to the sky. ”

Situ Xuan secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this guy with a national character face is all over his body, and this face with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the most righteous, this is completely a guy who has 'spoken morally and kept interests in his heart'. Looking for him to do things, go straight, and spend as much money as you want to do as much as you want, and fooling him with the name of righteousness seems to be finding the wrong person.

However, Situ Xuan still asked: "Then what kind of joint is this, why hasn't Dad mentioned it before." ”

The face of the national character face changed, a little envious and jealous, as if there was still a little contempt, and he said after a while: "Zhang Yingjie, this guy has a good brain, originally their Sanjian Mountain is far away from the Central Plains, and the surrounding area is not rich, and there is no way to make money. Unexpectedly, this guy just changed his mind, and he sat on the ground to make money, and made money every day. ”

Then the national character face explained in detail, and Situ Xuancai probably guessed the origin of Sanjian Mountain's fortune. Sanjian Mountain is located in Shuofang County, stuck in the throat of Yanmen to Datong, and most of the merchants who take this road need to rest and stay in Shuofang. Sanjian Mountain's sphere of influence just covered the throat of this trade route, or Zhang Ran's bear child would not have said anything 'to overwhelm the northern Jinbei Zhuzhai', those cottages or villages were all subdued by Sanjian Mountain and became part of their forces. Sanjian Mountain occupies a key position, and in the past, it only relied on collecting limited tolls to supplement the sect's income, and it was even more than the income collected by Tiejian Sect.

But in the first two years, Zhang Yingjie somehow came up with a series of brilliant ideas, first no longer to collect tolls from merchants, but sent his disciples to crack down on the entire trade road to collect tolls of the green forest cottage, this move not only won the praise of many businessmen, but also prospered the entire Taiyuan, Yanmen, Datong trade routes.

Zhang Yingjie then contacted an official in Datong Mansion to cooperate with the government to crack down on businessmen who sold iron weapons privately. The imperial court was at war with the Mongols, and merchants were forbidden to sell all iron products such as weapons and iron pots to the Mongols. Zhang Yingjie cracked down on iron smuggling merchants on the one hand, and cooperated with some merchants on the other hand, and started trading with the Mongols himself. Otherwise, with the barrenness of Sanjian Mountain, how can you afford to raise a hundred horses.

Situ Xuan pondered for a while, and couldn't help but sigh at the extraordinaryness of this Zhang Yingjie, not to mention how much this person's understanding in martial arts is, just this hand-to-hand business method makes people dare not underestimate the ancients. couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sanjian Mountain's means are extraordinary, these ideas may not be worth much if they are said, but if you can think of this idea, you can also predict the benefits of doing so, and if you really do it, Zhang Yingjie is worthy of his name and can be called a 'hero'." ”

Although the national character face was reluctant to praise his son, it was so, so he had to nod in agreement. However, Situ Xuan didn't understand some things, so he still asked: "Dad, to put it bluntly, this method is that they are engaged in a monopoly business of iron products in Sanjian Mountain, so they can obtain huge profits, but the benefits of trading with Mongolia are not something that his family can see, and it is not a trade route, how can Sanjian Mountain get sweet." ”

Although the face of the national character has no business acumen, the history of Sanjian Mountain seems to be well studied, and he immediately said: "The most important business routes out of Mongolia are the two most important, either from Yanmen to Datong, or from Baoding to the north of the Flying Fox Mouth, whether it is to go to Guanzhong or Liaodong, either the road is too far, or the transfer is inconvenient, and it has long been no longer used." However, Baoding is close to Jingshi, and some prohibited goods are inconvenient to walk, and the Demon Sect is also stuck on that trade route, which has gradually declined in recent years, but the trade route in Jin Province has become more and more prosperous. Sanjian Mountain has a good relationship with the local officials of Datong, and they have an advantage in the official face, and they are hidden, and the other sect forces do not know much. Moreover, the martial arts righteous path in Jin Province is already respected by our two families, and the big forces in other provinces are really beyond the reach of the whip, even if they want to get involved in the trading of iron weapons, they may not be able to fight Sanjian Mountain in Shuofang. ”

Situ Xuan suddenly realized, and then asked: "Dad, then this time Sanjian Mountain poured out of the nest and made an appointment with our family, could it be that this koi village is the iron trade of Sanjian Mountain." ”

Guozi face nodded, and said with some schadenfreude: "That's right, they collected a total of thousands of catties of iron ingots from Guanzhong and Nanyang, and entrusted the Longmen Dart Bureau to transport them. ”

Situ Xuan asked: "Dad, you still didn't say what benefits Sanjian Mountain promised, so you moved your old man's house? Could it be that they agreed to give up some of the iron interests, this loss is not small." ”

Guozi smiled a little proudly: "Of course, if they don't give up some of the iron benefits, how can Daddy join forces with them Sanjian Mountain." But this time they had to cut their flesh and ask for help, the righteous martial arts of Jin Province were already respected by our two families, and our iron sword gate looked at the face of the righteous path of the same martial arts, and may not have privately obstructed their business, but if we want us to give them a free effort, it is absolutely not to think about it. If they don't unite with our Tiejianmen, I'm afraid that Jin Province itself won't be able to control it, but if they unite with us, it will not only stabilize Jin Province, but also spread its influence to the neighboring Guanzhong and Yu Provinces. And the two of us know the roots, although there were all kinds of contradictions in the past, but now that we are cooperating, we are not worried about stabbing each other in the back. ”

Situ Xuan was a little ridiculous when he heard this, and said in his heart You just told your disciple not to jump too much tomorrow, and this kind of fighting style to preserve strength is not considered a stab in the back. Situ Xuan even feels that these martial arts sects are like companies and groups in modern society, morality or anything is nonsense, only interests are eternal, Guozi Face and Zhang's Sanying have not looked at each other for decades, and now they can work together for the sake of interests. I just don't know if the interests are big enough, whether the people of the rivers and lakes can give up the morality of righteousness and evil and join forces with the people of the Demon Sect. However, thinking of those guys who can join the Demon Sect for the sake of a secret book, Situ Xuan already has the answer in his heart, and morality seems to have lost to profit.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Situ Xuan suddenly thought that since ancient times, the salt and iron trade has been a huge profit, the Mongolians lack iron, and it seems that there is not much salt, and tea is also a daily necessity for the Mongolians, if you purchase some tea bricks from Jiangnan, it seems to be a good way to make money.

Situ Xuan immediately asked: "Dad, why don't we organize a caravan and sell some illicit salt or tea bricks to the outside of the Saiwai in exchange for furs or livestock, which is several times the profit." And with the accumulation of previous merchants in Sanjian Mountain, even if we pay some price, if we start buying and selling salt tea, it will be very profitable. ”

Guozi face's face twitched a little when he heard this, but he didn't expect this son's brain to turn quickly, but he lacked some common sense in the rivers and lakes, and finally sighed and said: "Xuan'er's words are good, but such a big deal has already been discovered, how can we wait for us to do it." ”

Situ Xuan said in surprise: "How to do the business of Sanjian Mountain, it is not a black method at the initial stage, and my father is not a pedantic person, the knife is in our hands, if we are ruthless, how can we not do this business." ”

Guozi asked with a smile on his face: "Xuan'er has heard of the name of the Bafang Dart Game?"

Situ Xuan thought for a while and replied: "What Dad said is the Bafang Dart Game founded by the Shaolin lay disciples in the Song Dynasty, the Bafang Dart Game that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and even more so than many major sects. ”

Guozi face nodded, indicating that you guessed right, son. As if a lightning bolt flashed, Situ Xuan blurted out: "Could it be that these transactions are actually done by the Shaolin Temple, and the Bafang Dart Bureau is just an agent pushed to the front desk by the Shaolin Temple?"

Guozi said with a smile: "Xuan'er really reacted fast enough, anyway, for hundreds of years, if the private salt and tea trading is not entrusted to the Bafang Dart Bureau to consign the darts, then there will be no one to live." ”

Situ Xuan listened to the three views and was completely ruined, and secretly said I will go to your great cause, co-authoring Shaolin Temple has already played 'temporary workers' and 'personnel agents' hundreds of years ago, but in ancient times they were called 'registered disciples' and 'lay disciples', so they really know how to play.
