The spring rain is like a stretch, thin, a little silk, it will not make people feel panicked, but it refuses to stop, it always makes people feel faintly melancholy, unable to escape, and unable to erase.

Yelu Bawotai had already recognized Yang Huairen's son-in-law in his heart, so he naturally would not be polite to him, so Xiao Lao'er went to Yelu Bawotai's mansion in Dading Mansion early and brought back a gift list.

According to the traditional rules of the Khitan people, marrying a daughter and receiving a bride price is naturally to collect cattle and sheep, and the number of cattle and sheep is also directly proportional to the status of the family who marries the daughter.

However, Yelu Bawotai was originally a Khitan nobleman, and his family naturally had cattle and sheep indispensable, and only symbolically asked for 100 cattle and sheep, and the rest were all gifts of various colors.

If there are a hundred cattle and sheep, Yang Huairen only needs to transfer the cattle and sheep that Yelu Hongji gave back, which is also a scene, but there is nothing to say.

And the gift, Yelu Bawotai is a bit excessive, he doesn't write anything that is produced by Liao, and picks rare things from the Great Song Dynasty to embarrass Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen looked at the gift list, and immediately counted the eighteenth generation ancestors of his future father-in-law, and said in his heart that this time it was a loss to Dafa, and he married a fake daughter-in-law, but he lost such a large bride price.

I also thought that the next time I saw the ghost sister, I must talk to her, and the first sentence was, "I didn't expect you to be quite expensive." ”

It's always wrong to measure a person with material and money, and Yang Huairen didn't care much about the gift list with a total price of tens of thousands of yuan, but this money was really going to be wasted, and it was given to an old Khitan guy, so Yang Huairen was a little distressed.

Yang Huairen couldn't understand why Yelu Bawotai didn't ask him for the longevity pill, if this was the case, Yang Huairen would have a big deal to rub a few more noodles and lie that he would keep one privately.

But Yelu Bawotai has no interest in prolonging life, and is bent on getting into the eyes of money. Perhaps, in his opinion, the length of life is predestined by God, and the width of life is determined by himself.

So he would rather have enough wealth to enjoy himself in his limited life than to live three more years. From this point of view, Yang Huairen felt that Yelu Bawotai was a shrewd person.

The largest gift in the gift list is the fine silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty, although Yelu Bawotai only needs the number of a hundred, but the best silk is not cheap.

Merchants who traveled between the Song and Liao countries traveled thousands of miles to transport silk to Dadingfu, regardless of the cost of transportation and labor, it was a very large cost, and the goods had to pay customs duties when they passed the customs, and they had to pay commercial taxes when they were sold in Liao.

Therefore, the price of the same good Jiangnan silk may only cost twenty or thirty yuan in the Great Song Dynasty, but after such a toss and transportation to Liao, the price has at least doubled, and the price can reach forty or fifty yuan or even more, so it is extremely expensive.

The silk that Yang Huairen brought this time was basically an extra gift from the Ministry of Rites to Yelu Hongji when he gave the New Year's coin, and Yang Huairen naturally would not intercept it, so there was no excess inventory to deal with Yelu Bawotai.

And if you want to send silk to Yelu Bawotai, you can only buy those high-priced goods from Zhongjing City.

Although he suffered a lot of losses in buying high-priced goods, Yang Huairen felt that it was nothing, and took this opportunity to take this matter as a pretext to take his brothers to personally go to Fengshenwei's Wanyuan Warehouse, the largest stronghold in Dading Mansion, to inspect the work of Fengshenwei's subordinates.

Wanyuan Warehouse is located in the most prosperous street market in the capital city, a row of façade houses along the street, behind is a huge courtyard, in addition to the warehouse, there are stables and houses, it is not difficult to raise more than 200 Fengshenwei here.

Although the scale of Wanyuan Warehouse is not the largest warehouse in Zhongjing City, it is also the largest among Han merchants, and it is also the most complete place in the Song Dynasty.

Calculate the real estate and real estate value of Wanyuan Warehouse is still very high, it seems that the profit of doing Song Liao trade is indeed very considerable, Yang Huairen wants to laugh when he thinks of it, the original capital is from the Empress Dowager Gao, and he, the later replacement, has made a big bargain.

Yang Huairen came to Wanyuan Warehouse, because he had sent news to Wang Zhan in advance, so he was already waiting in front of the door. Yang Huairen got out of the car, and Wang Zhan immediately came over to help Yang Huairen with an umbrella.

At this time, because it was drizzling, there were not many people on the street, but Yang Huairen was worried that he might be followed, so he felt that Wang Zhan's move was a little inappropriate, in case it was revealed that they had known each other for a long time, it would be very unfavorable to Fengshenwei's concealment of his secret stronghold in Zhongjing City.

Yang Huairen walked into the warehouse quietly, and Wang Zhan immediately ordered a guy to close the store.

Yang Huairen was puzzled in his heart, he originally thought that Wang Zhan was very tactful, and he acted in all aspects, so he had the impression that Wang Zhan was very cautious in doing things, so he was relieved to promote him to be the hall master of Beifeng Hall.

But today, after seeing Wang Zhan's strange behavior, I think Wang Zhan is a little careless?

From going out with an umbrella to greet Yang Huairen when he entered the door, he immediately ordered the guys to close the door, these actions are a bit like three hundred taels of silver here, and the door will be closed in broad daylight, isn't it easier to arouse the suspicion of outsiders?

Thinking about it like this, he began to feel some blame for Wang Zhan in his heart, so he said, "Shopkeeper Wang, it's still broad daylight, why are you closing the door?" ”

Wang Zhan also noticed that Yang Huairen seemed to be dissatisfied with him, and also knew that Yang Huairen called him the king's shopkeeper, because he didn't know much about the people in the Wanyuan warehouse, so he hurriedly explained, "Yang Jungong doesn't have to steal what he says, all the guys in the Wanyuan warehouse are our own people of Fengshenwei." ”

After hearing this, Yang Huairen was a little relieved, pointed to the door of the store that had been closed, and asked, "How do you explain the action just now?" ”

Wang Zhan raised his hand and gave a salute, and explained unhurriedly, "The humble position just acted, and the humble official also knew in his heart that the county prince would definitely have some opinions, so the humble official first admitted his mistake, and then asked the county prince to give the humble official a chance to explain to you in detail." ”

Yang Huairen was a little confused, what happened to Wang Zhan? If you admit that you are wrong, why explain it? Since you want to explain, you just don't think that what you just did was wrong?

Yang Huairen still had a calm face, "Then you can say it, I want to hear what you have to explain." ”

Wang Zhan hurriedly asked Yang Huairen to go to the back hall, invited him to take a seat, and poured tea and water before standing aside and saying slowly, "The county prince doesn't know, doing business with the Khitans in the Liao Kingdom is very different from our normal business in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
