In the inn next to the freight yard, Kang Chengdong was eating mutton and drinking spirits at the same time, and a pot of charcoal was roasted next to him.

A young man in his twenties sat opposite Kang Chengdong, took a sip of wine, and said loudly: "It's still the strong wine of the Han region, and it tastes so refreshing!" It's a pity that there is no such good wine in the Northland, so go back this time and bring more! ”

Kang Chengdong said: "If Lang Jun likes it, then he will buy more wine and go back, but I don't know whether to sell it in the south or not." ”

The young man laughed, "We have such a large caravan, if we can't even bring a few jars of wine, it will be too useless.

Kang Chengdong nodded yes, paused, and asked, "What kind of tooth man does Lang Jun think, what kind of tooth man do we see during the day, reliable or not?" ”

The young man shook his head: "I have asked many people in the afternoon, at this time, the state is doing business like this, what is unreliable." But more than 2,000 sheepskins are not a lot of money, so why not try him! ”

Kang Chengdong sighed: "It's not a big money for Lang Jun, but in the eyes of a small one, it's a huge amount of money." ”

The young man laughed, touched a bowl of wine with Kang Chengdong, raised his head and drank, and said, "Kang Yuanwai, as long as we do well this time, we will still have a lot of business to do in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?" In the past six months, business here in Bingzhou has been booming, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. More than 2,000 sheepskins can be sold in an instant, what a big business it is! Before I came, I thought it was only a fur business, but I didn't want him to be a good place here. In addition to Kang Yuan, this time to find a way, there will be infinite wealth in the future! ”

Kang Chengdong said again and again that he drank wine and ate meat with young people.

This young man is a Khitan nobleman, named Yelu Buhua, and his grandfather is now a member of Yelu Maliu in Xijing, which is considered a branch of the royal family. However, there are thousands of Khitan royal families, and he is a branch of Yelu Maliu, so he can't be a high-ranking official. When Kang Chengdong arrived at Datong Mansion in Xijing, Khitan, he met Yelu Buhua by chance and became incompatible. A few days ago, Yelu Buhua happened to hear that the fur business in Bingzhou was booming, so he moved his mind and asked Kang Chengdong to bring himself to check. Anyway, he can't be a big official, and it's not bad to be a rich businessman.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Bingzhou, I saw that it was doing business like this, which made Yelu not bothered. He has a flexible mind, and at a glance he knows that the current trading situation is particularly favorable to large merchants. Due to the use of Yaren and the freight yard, and the state yamen has accumulated a large amount of inventory, which greatly simplifies the transaction procedures, and large merchants can quickly ship and buy goods. If there were regular channels for the purchase and delivery of goods in the Northland, capital could multiply rapidly, far from being comparable to the hard traffic of the past. Although Yelu Buhua's status in the family is not obvious, in the end, he is the grandson left behind in Xijing, and he can easily establish purchase and sales channels in Khitan. When I walked around the trading hall today, I almost saw a mountain of gold and silver in front of me.

Out of caution, Kang Chengdong and his entourage did not stay at the inn introduced by He Kun. However, after asking around for an afternoon, I learned that there is no need, the inns here are actually similar, and many of them even belong to the Yamen of Bingzhou. Tooth people in the fur market have familiar inns that introduce their customers to live, and discounts are given to customers.

After drinking for a while, Kang Chengdong said to Yelu Buhua: "Lang Jun, we have already figured out the matter, and there is no need to stay here any longer." Hurry up and sell the goods you brought, and go back to buy the goods is the right way. It's just that I don't know what goods Lang Jun wants to exchange, and here in the state, everything is good, but it's difficult to get cash. And I also asked, gold and silver are also rare. ”

Yelu didn't care: "What do you want money for!" We are businessmen, of course, trafficking goods! It is rare to find such a treasure place, and there is no shortage of all kinds of goods. I thought about it, and I was about to bring some pearls for the New Year, and I wanted to go back to my family to send them. Buy some incense, this kind of good thing can be a gift and easy to sell. Needless to say, silk and the like, you must buy it. Also, take some of the tanned cooked skins back with you. ”

Kang Chengdong made a slight calculation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lang Junyi said that the two thousand sheepskins we brought don't seem to be able to buy much goods." ”

Yelu Buhua nodded deeply, this time he miscalculated, and the goods he brought were too small.

The two of them pondered for a long time, Yelu Buhua looked at countless Great Song treasures from the white wall, and only felt that he wanted to buy everything, but he was suffering from the lack of sheepskins. It's just that when I go back this time, I will bring something to sell next time, but I am also worried. The price of sheepskin is still too low, for ordinary merchants, of course, there is a huge profit, but for Yelu Buhua, it is a bit chicken.

After discussing for a while, Yelu Buhua said: "I didn't expect that there are so many treasures in Bingzhou, but I can't buy anything by selling sheepskins alone." Kang Yuanwai helped me think about it, what else is extremely lacking in the south, and can be sold to make a lot of money. ”

Kang Chengdong pondered for a while and said: "The northern country is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, the products are abundant, and there are not many of us who can sell them." Nowadays, the largest one sold to the Great Song Dynasty is sheep. If you talk about treasures, count the North Pearl. It's just that there are many pearls in Nanjing, and there are still pearls in the Great Song Dynasty here in Xijing. If the Great Song Dynasty is in urgent need, and there are many in the North, unless it is a horse-"

Speaking of this, Kang Chengdong hurriedly stopped. The Khitan had extremely strict control over the export of horses to the Song, and if caught, it was a death sentence. And this is a strategic material, if it is sold, it is equivalent to a capital enemy, Yelu does not spend it but the royal family, who knows what he will think.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Buhua didn't think it was wrong, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "Selling horses naturally makes money, but it's a pity that there is no way to transport it to the Song Realm." The court is very close to this matter, and it is difficult to handle it-"

Kang Chengdong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Yelu didn't have any intentions, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, in fact, the border land sells horses to the Song Realm, and it has never been cut off. ”

Yelu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How did those people do it?" Don't the border patrol soldiers check? ”

Kang Chengdong smiled and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is checked, but there is always a way." As far as I know, they were first sold to some small tribes in the border areas in the northern country, and then these small tribes were sold to the Song realm. These small tribes live on both sides, and the place where they live is lofty and mountainous, and there is no traceability. ”

Yelu Buhua listened, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting!" Needless to say, the same is true for the sale of salt and grain. Let's discuss this matter again, discuss it again! My ancestor was left behind in Xijing, and many things are difficult for others to do, but it is not difficult for me! ”

As he spoke, his eyes rolled around, obviously moving. His status in the family is not high, it is rare to have any noble position, and he feels that he has no ability to be an official, so making money in business has become his life goal. What is the ban of the imperial court, as long as he earns money, Yelu doesn't care if he doesn't spend it.

The Khitan lacked large quantities of materials to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the Song realm every year. Six or seven out of ten of the coins given by the Song to the Khitan were re-entered into the hands of the Song people through border trade. The easiest way to balance trade is to take the market. However, although the Song and Khitan claimed to be brothers, they were actually regarded as each other's most important enemy countries, and both controlled the flow of strategic materials to each other, and the Khitan rarely sold horses to the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing Kang Chengdong looking at him with blank eyes, Yelu Buhua smiled and said, "Drink, drink!" Outside Kang Yuan, as long as you and I are united and do business well, there will definitely be a customer price. Sell the goods to the Song realm, I think of a way. Rest assured, there must be a way! ”

Kang Chengdong understood, picked up the bowl, and drank it dry in a big gulp.
