. In this situation, Wan Yan Changzhi was puzzled, and Zhang Hu explained to him that on the one hand, because of the single type of goods in Jinguo, everyone sells the same several goods, so it is inevitable to reduce the price of each other in order to sell sales. In addition, other commodities can be kept and taken away if they can't be bought, but cattle and sheep need forage to drink and feed, whether they are saved or taken away, they are extremely inconvenient, so they can only be sold as soon as possible at a low price.

After hearing this, Yan Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. I can't imagine that there is so much knowledge in business.

At this moment, Wan Yan Changzhi's eyes turned, and he saw dozens of horses tied to a corner. Wanyan Changzhi couldn't help but be surprised, there were some prohibited goods on both sides of the Song and Jin dynasties, and the Southern Song Dynasty was iron, grain, and weapons; And Daikin is grain, horses. Unexpectedly, Daikin merchants would dare to take banned horses to participate in the trade. And Wanyan Nagayuki is very familiar with horses, and after a few glances, he knows that these are only two to four years old, that is to say, they are all young horses. Whether it's a stallion or a military horse, it's okay.

At this time, Zhang Hu also noticed it, shook his head with a wry smile, and dared to take any risk for the sake of interests.

At this time, I saw two Jin merchants with a Southern Song Dynasty official and more than a dozen followers coming to the horse, looked at the horse, and talked a few words. Immediately some of the attendants came out to check the teeth, temperature, fur, and so on of the horses, one by one. And the merchants of the Jin Kingdom and the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty sat on the side and drank tea, chatting and laughing, obviously very intimate.

After more than a quarter of an hour, all the inspections were completed, and the other attendants immediately pulled the horses away, and then two more people carried a large box, and the two merchants of the Jin Kingdom immediately crouched at the mouth of the box, although they could not see what was in the box, but it was conceivable that it must be the copper money used to buy the horse. After the two merchants of the Jin Kingdom counted the money, they covered the box again, and the two sides laughed a few more words, and then each gave his leave.

Wan Yan Changzhi's face became very ugly, but Zhang Hu had a trace of doubt, because the profits of livestock were not large, and it was a little uncost-effective for a businessman to take such a risk to sell horses, and it was not like a businessman's style.

After seeing this scene, Wan Yan Changzhi had no intention of going any further. At this time, it was midday, and the two of them had been walking for most of the day at noon, and they were already hungry, so Zhang Hu suggested that they find a place to eat first, and then go back.

As a result, the two searched all over the place, but found that all the restaurants were full. And the guests are mostly merchants of the Golden Kingdom. There are also many people who don't make it to the restaurant, just sit on stone benches on the side of the street and buy some food to eat. The two had no choice but to find a stool on the side of the street, Wan Yan Changzhi sat here and waited, and Zhang Hu went to Zhang Luo for wine and dinner.

After waiting for nothing to do, Wan Yan Changzhi listened carefully to the discussions of others, because most of them were gold merchants, and most of the things they talked about were naturally domestic affairs of Dajin. Although the status of merchants is not high, they have a much greater grasp of current affairs in the country than ordinary farmers, and because they often deal with high-ranking families, they naturally know more things. And this is the field of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has no scruples, talks loudly, and dares to say anything directly.

At this time, Wan Yan Changzhi was secretly a little worried, and he couldn't imagine that the Southern Song Dynasty would be able to grasp most of the movements in Dajin just by opening a field. It seems that Zhang Hu is right, and the damage to Daikin is really not small when it is opened.

After a while, Zhang Huli bought some wine and food and came back, and the two talked while eating, Zhang Hu said: "My lord, I inquired about Chunchu just now, it turns out that the Southern Song Dynasty stipulates that for every ten horses sold, the tax can be reduced by 10%, and the tax can be reduced by 50% at most." Moreover, all horses were purchased at a uniform rate of one hundred and fifty per horse. With such profits in it, it is no wonder that those merchants dare to take the risk of selling horses. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the merchants who are bold, but also the border guards, right?" These forty or fifty horses are not a small number, and they can not be detected if they steal across the border? When I return, I will make sure to search carefully, and I will not spare it. ”

Zhang Hu smiled bitterly and stopped talking, he knew that even if Yan Changzhi completed a thorough investigation, it would be useless, and the interests would be pursued, but he was afraid that most people would take the risk of giving it a try, and the strict investigation might be effective for a while, but when the limelight passed, he was afraid that it would start again.

Zhang Hu said again: "We turned around such a big circle just now, I roughly calculated, I am afraid that the tax revenue of this field in the Southern Song Dynasty will not be less than 10,000 yuan a day, plus the operating income of rental housing, warehouses, restaurants, etc., I am afraid it will be close to 20,000." In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty can make millions of profits from the field every year, which can be described as a huge profit, and most of them are probably contributed by our Dajin merchants. ”

Wanyan Changzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After the peace between the north and the south, they give each other every year, although it seems that my big gold can make a profit of more than 300,000 yuan, but in this field, it was even profitable by the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was multiplied several times and earned back. ”

Zhang Hu also smiled bitterly and said: "Since the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been paying New Year's coins to the Khitan, Western Xia, and even our Dajin in order to seek stability. Before, I thought that the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and easy to bully, and would only bow to flattery, but now it seems that it is not completely unreasonable. ”

In fact, Zhang Hu's words are not bad. After the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, Western Xia, and Jin negotiated peace, they would all require the opening of the field, although the main reason was to exchange livestock and horses, but often also obtained great economic benefits from it.

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "Bo Yi said to me before, the establishment of the field will be far-reaching to my gold, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that what Bo Yi said is extremely true, and his knowledge is really extraordinary." ”

Zhang Hu sighed and said, "To be honest, although I said that at the time, I also felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but when I accompanied the adults here to take a look, I realized that it was even more serious than I imagined." ”

The way of finishing Yan Chang: "Is there any way to solve it?" Is it advisable for the imperial court to stop all the fields, and then strictly investigate the border private trade? ”

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "It's useless, first of all, we can only stop all the fields of Dajin, but we can't control the Southern Song Dynasty, and this side can be opened as well." Secondly, we Dajin also need the tea of the Southern Song Dynasty -- & Net -- ran over with a leisurely and dancing hand, and shouted in a still vague voice: "Daddy, daddy hug." Then he hugged Wan Yan Changzhi's legs, raised his little face, and looked at Wan Yan Changzhi.

Even though Wanyan Changzhi was full of worries, when he saw the child, he couldn't help but smile, leaned over to pick up the child, and said with a smile: "Lin'er, let Dad kiss him." As he spoke, he kissed the child's red and simple little face several times. It turned out that when he finished Yan Changzhi's southern expedition, Wanyan Ruixian gave birth to a boy for him through the scriptures, and when he returned from Yan Changzhi's southern expedition, he was named Wanyan Chenglin. Now with a year old and six months, it is a jade powder brick, very good, this is the time to start staggering and learning to walk, babbling and learning.

After the end of the face is also the year of the establishment, the first to have a son, natural love like a treasure. What's more, after more than a year of the Southern Expedition, the husband and wife were separated, and they were reluctant to separate again. Therefore, when he took office in Nanjing this time, he also brought their mother and son together. When you are idle, you can also tease your beloved son for fun.

At this time, Wanyan Ruixian also came out of the house and said, "Husband is back, quickly change your clothes and clean your face, and I will let the people prepare dinner immediately." Then he said to Wanyan Chenglin: "Lin'er, come down quickly, let my mother hug me." ”

The little guy hugged Wan Yan Changzhi and didn't let go, and said, "Daddy hug, daddy hug." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled: "Just let me hold it, after eating, I'm changing clothes." ”

Wanyan Ruixian patted his son's little buttocks lightly and said with a smile: "This little bastard will be arrogant." ”

After dinner, the nurse hugged Wan Yan Chenglin to sleep. After Yan Changzhi, he told the experience of himself and Zhang Hu to the Southern Song Dynasty. After Yan Ruixian listened, she also tightened her eyebrows, although she was also smart and insightful, but she didn't know much about business, so she couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. Then Wan Yan Changzhi told Wan Yan Ruixian about the method Zhang Hu said.

Wanyan Ruixian thought for a while and said: "What Zhang Fuyin said is not bad, this matter can't be blocked if you want to, you can only think of a piece of the pie from it, at least we can't let Dajin's wealth be earned by the Southern Song Dynasty, we also have to think of earning some back." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled bitterly: "Is it so difficult that you can only do this?" In this way, wouldn't my Dajin Kingdom become a joint business with the Southern Song Dynasty? Merchants are all heavy on profit and light on righteousness, and they are unreliable, but once they all throw themselves to the Southern Song Dynasty, isn't it very disadvantageous to our Dajin? ”

Wanyan Ruixian sighed and said, "Then what else can I do?" Don't say you don't want to do this, I think the ministers of the court will not agree to do this. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "How do you know that the imperial court will disagree?" ”

Wanyan Ruixian said: "Isn't this still a list?" First, the imperial court has always tried to reduce people-to-people contacts with the Southern Song Dynasty as much as possible, and secondly, the ministers of the court will definitely think that our Dajin is a big country, how can it be beneficial to the Southern Song Dynasty. I think the most likely thing to do is to close down some of the farms, and then strengthen the strict investigation of the territory, although there may still be some private transactions, but the scale is much smaller. There will be much less money lost. And this is also the need of Dajin, and the court will also open its eyes and close its eyes. ”

After Yan Changzhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, although he didn't agree with Zhang Hu's method very much, but if he refused to open the field because of the reason of "a big country, how can he speak for profit", he also felt that it was too pedantic in his heart.

Wanyan Ruixian has been a husband and wife with him for several years, and when he sees him like this, he doesn't know what he is thinking. Then he said: "Okay, these are not things for you to worry about, don't think too much." If you can't see it, report the matter to the court, and let the court decide how to solve it. ”

After Yan Changzhi thought about it, he didn't think about it anymore. The next day, he asked Zhang Hu to write a notebook, stamped it with his own left-behind seal, and sent it to Zhongdu. At the same time, it also strengthened border inspections, and found several cases of horse-selling merchants in a row, and Wan Yan Changzhi unceremoniously arrested the merchants and took them to prison, confiscating all their belongings. and successively tracked down several border guards, and beheaded them for public display.

A few days later, an edict was sent from Zhongdu, and as Yan Ruixian expected, the imperial court only kept the field in Sizhou, and all the fields in other places were closed, and at the same time ordered the border guards to strictly investigate the private trade.

And this inch also came from the capital of another news, the crown prince of Dajin, the king of Chu Wanyan Yungong quickly completed the northern tour, returned to Zhongdu, and told Wanyan Yong about the northern tour, of course, he hid the matter that he had accepted gifts from officials from all over the country on the way.

Knowing that Wang Hanjing colluded with the rest of the Tatar to try to rob and kill Yan Yungong, it immediately aroused the anger of the court. However, now Dajin's national strength has not been fully restored, and he is unable to send a large army to conquer Wang Han for a while. At this time, the accompanying Mongolian envoy Zha Ba'er Huoshi met with Yan Yong, saying that Tie Yuzhen had been sealed by Dajin and was willing to help Dajin to conquer Wang Han, and asked Dajin to allow Wang Gubu to assist.

Wanyan Yong naturally didn't believe that Temujin would really be grateful to Dajin for his strategy, but it was also a good choice to let the two heroes of the grassland fight each other, no matter who won or lost, there was no loss to Dajin, and it would be better to fight both defeats, so Wanyan Yongman agreed, and promised that if Temujin could kill Wang Han, Dajin would crown him the king of Mongolia.
