The super purchase of four million yuan is in full swing in the Pearl City, the merchants of the Pearl City have a good business, and the unknown people are purchasing in the city, which makes them full of enthusiasm, and in seven or eight days, the merchants of the Pearl City have almost all benefited, and the materials in the warehouse have also been bought out.

There are also a few merchants who want to take the opportunity to raise prices, but they were soon learned by the Chamber of Commerce, so they were immediately driven out of Pearl City and never allowed to do business in Pearl City; Other merchants originally had similar thoughts, and when they saw this situation, they quickly put their ghost eyes in their stomachs and bought and sold honestly.

There are many kinds of goods purchased, from daily necessities such as grain, cloth, tea, to gold and silver jewelry, rouge, gouache, incense, flower glasses and other luxury goods, these goods are carried to the wharf cargo ship in boxes, the merchants do not understand what this behind-the-scenes acquisition figure wants to do, and they can only go down the river to the south when they get on the ship, and the price of these goods in the south is lower, and they can't be sold at all, isn't this a loss?

But these ideas are in everyone's stomach, since someone wants to be wronged, why bother with that heart, in short, the goods are sold, and the profits are quite profitable, it is enough, it seems that Pearl City is a treasure land of feng shui, and from time to time there are stupid characters who come to scatter money, and they are evil.

A few days later, the frantic procurement came to an end, and everyone reluctantly watched as the four large boats piled up like small hills slowly sailed away from the wharf to the west, and the direction of going was not downstream, but against the current along the Longshui to the northwest, and the merchants were puzzled.

Soon the mystery was revealed, Li Zhong convened the Chamber of Commerce and announced that the crazy procurement behavior of Pearl City was actually done by Wei Songhe, who was entrusted by the road envoy Su to Weizhou, Weizhou was short of materials, and Su Daren allocated millions of dollars for Weizhou's relief, of course, the fertilizer water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, so the location of this procurement was chosen in Pearl City.

The merchants suddenly realized, no wonder those unlucky merchants immediately learned of the expulsion for the government as soon as the price was raised, and the road envoy relieved Weizhou's procurement behavior, and someone dared to take advantage of the fire to rob, wouldn't it be like a worm that was crashing into the knife.

Su Jin took with him the four major commanders of the dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, but there were not many soldiers, and only more than 100 people were carefully selected to accompany him as coolies.

Three days later, the ship arrived at the only pier in Weizhou and could not move forward, Longshui is the snow water converges and travels, the original winter is the day when the water is exhausted, if it is not for the sun shining after the year, I am afraid that this pier will not be able to rely on the shore.

The arranged convoy was already waiting here, boxes of goods were loaded onto carts, and the convoy, which stretched for several miles, slowly headed north, bypassing the foot of Longshan Mountain west of Weizhou, and driving from the Gobi Wilderness into Xia along the passage of smuggling horses.

After the two sides converged, the horses of the Yeli tribe replaced the ox carts of the Song Kingdom, and the speed of the march accelerated, and half a month later, they arrived at the central city of the Yeli tribe.

There is no need for Su Jin to worry about the rest, and the Yeli tribe began to purchase fur, green salt, beef, mutton, milk, ginseng and other materials according to the procurement list provided by Su Jin, and transported them to the central city of the Yeli tribe for delivery.

Su Jin didn't have the heart to wait for the delivery of the goods here, he left more than a dozen masters and dozens of people with Su Ji to stay here and wait for the trading of goods, and told them to return the same way after the delivery was completed, and quickly return to Pearl City, and hand over the goods to the master Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun would only properly arrange the sales of these goods.

The reason why Su Jin was anxious was that the delay of nearly 20 days had reached the end of February, and March 18 was the day when Li Ahri was going to be sent to Liaoguo and his relatives, and it would be too late to delay any longer.

Yeli Duanyun understood Su Jin's mood, so he handed over the affairs to the tribal elders, and asked Su Jin and the accompanying cadres to put on the leather jackets and hats of the party members and disguise themselves as their entourage, and took them out of the Yeli tribe and went straight to Xingqing Mansion.

Along the way, there were starvation, the villages were lonely, and the residents of Xia Guo were also yellow and thin, and their eyes were timidly looking at the people who were speeding by, Su Jin understood that Xia Guo was not lightly injured, and the people's lives must be very sad, which can also explain why Li Yuanhao disregarded his face and exchanged his daughter for the favor of Liao State, if he didn't do this, his subjects would probably rise up and rebel.

From the central walled city of the Yeli tribe to the summer capital Xingqing Mansion is about seven or eight days away, Su Jin and others quickly took five days to come to the outskirts of Xingqing Mansion, Su Jin and others are okay, Yeli Duanyun actually survived the five days on horseback, as a weak woman, with such physique and perseverance, teach the accompanying Dynasty Mahan and others to give a thumbs up.

On the afternoon of February 23, Yeli Duanyun took Su Jin and others to enter from the Desheng Gate in the west city of Xingqing Mansion, and it can be seen that the Yeli tribe has a lot of face in Xingqing Mansion.

Yeli Duanyun told Su Jin that since the peace talks, the Yeli family relied on the grain and cloth traded with Su Jin to enjoy a good reputation in the cities of Great Xia. And Yeli Dulan is also quite scheming, taking advantage of this shortage of materials to privately send high-quality rice and silk tea to the big people in the DPRK and China from time to time to win them over, which is more effective than sending gold and silver treasures; Therefore, the face of the Yeli family is even bigger than when the two kings were alive.

Of course, all this was under Li Yuanhao's acquiescence, Li Yuanhao and Zhang Yuan also discussed in private where the Yeli tribe got these scarce materials, Yeli Dulan said that it was the materials that had been hoarded before, but Li Yuanhao didn't believe it.

There is no clue when it comes to checking, and the rebellions caused by the famine have surged in various places, and Li Yuanhao has no energy to investigate this matter, not to mention that Yeli Dulan obediently handed over hundreds of thousands of stones of food and materials for free to help Li Yuanhao tide over the difficulties, Li Yuanhao is a little grateful to her.

In order to keep a low profile, Su Jin chose a mansion in Nancheng, which is far away from the palace, which is a large mansion built on an artificial lake, so that this place is far away from the palace and away from the main street, quiet and private; Next to the living is a sparse Lala house, most of them are officials' courtyards, with partial houses or concubines, no one is seen on weekdays, and only at night will there be sheng songs and laughter.

After settling down, Yeli Duanyun quietly entered the palace to meet Yeli Dulan and informed Su Jin that he had come to Xingqing Mansion, but according to Su Jin's request, he did not mention his intention.

The next morning, Yeli Duanyun quietly took Su Jin to Chengtian Temple in the east of the city, Yeli Dulan could not go out of the palace to meet Su Jin casually, so he asked Yeli Duanyun to take Su Jin to Chengtian Temple to meet under the pretense of worshiping the Buddha and burning incense.

Chengtian Temple is the largest temple in Xingqing Mansion, the royal family Buddha is here, the day of the royal family Buddha is not approachable at all, but no one in the palace today comes to worship the Buddha naturally can enter, and the large box held by the entourage behind the female dependents of the Buddha is full of almsgiving, so that the monk has no reason to block.

The two of them entered a few incense pours and knelt down to pray and pray for a while, and then they heard the drum music outside, and a monk hurried to say: "The two donors should avoid it quickly, the queen mother came to burn incense and worship the Buddha temporarily, don't bump into it, that's not appropriate." ”

The two hurriedly hid in the meditation room at the back of the hall, waiting for the news in front, and after a while, the monk hurried over and said, "The queen wants to come to the backyard meditation room to rest, and the two of them left quickly." ”

Yeli Duanyun stretched out his hand and took out a silver ingot and said, "Little master, isn't it a death to go out and bump into him this time?" We won't go out here, and the queen won't enter this meditation room, so we'll wait for her to leave before we leave. ”

The little monk looked at the silver and hesitated, Su Jin reached out and took out a large ingot of gold from his sleeve and said, "Please be accommodating, little master." ”

The little monk's eyes lit up, and no matter why this subordinate dressed in entourage clothes would make a bold move, he folded his hands together and skillfully put the gold ingot into his palm and said: "Amitabha, don't walk around, if you collide with the queen, you will die." ”

Su Jin smiled and nodded, "Thank you." ”

The little monk turned around, and Yeli Duanyun stared at Su Jin and said, "You are generous, this ingot of gold is worth seventy or eighty yuan, enough for the family to eat and drink for four or five years." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Money can make ghosts grind, how can you be stingy with money, the queen knows that we are here?" ”

Yeli Duanyun said: "I made an appointment to meet in the backyard meditation room, my aunt entered the abbot's quiet room, we will go out from the back window for a while, the quiet room has a back window, knock three times, and my aunt will open it from the inside." ”

Su Jin smiled bitterly: "It's like stealing people." ”

Yeli Duanyun said: "You don't know, the emperor secretly sent someone to investigate the affairs of my Yeli tribe, and my aunt told me to be careful about everything, plus your identity is sensitive, if you are caught by a mistake, it will be all over." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, what you said is true." ”

The two of them leaned together by the door to listen carefully, and after a while, the footsteps in the courtyard rustled, and an old voice said: "The queen mother, please, the old man has ordered someone to sprinkle the quiet room and hurry up, burn the incense, and the mother can go to rest." ”
