The second thing Su Jin decided was to increase cooperation with the Yeli tribe, to put it bluntly, in addition to exchanging grain for war horses, he also had to smuggle other commodities on a large scale.

Originally, Su Jin didn't want to do this, but the situation forced him to do so, and after the year, Yinzhuang's deposits gradually withdrawn, barely avoiding a crisis, but outsiders don't know, people inside Su Ji know that Su Ji has become an empty shelf, and there is news that several housewives used as dowries to spend the climax of withdrawals years ago, which is eating the old book, and it is naturally not a matter to go on like this.

Su Jin is also very clear that the gossip will flow to the market sooner or later, if it causes panic, the run will also occur, and it will fall into the ears of people with hearts, it is even more amazing, there are signs that before and after the Shangyuan Festival, there have been several deposits of nearly one million yuan deposited in Yinzhuang, the total number of more than four million yuan, which has never happened before, can not but arouse Su Jin's attention.

It is a good thing to save money, but when the run on the storm starts, if these depositors come to withdraw money collectively, it will be a devastating blow to Su Ji.

Therefore, Su Jin could not only pin his hopes on the slow return of the two mines and Pearl City, he wanted to get out of this crisis state as soon as possible, so he had to take a risk and decided to use his power to expand the smuggling scope of the Yeli tribe.

There are not only war horses in Western Xia, and war horses are the favorite things of the imperial court, but for the common people, what they love the most is not war horses, but high-quality green salt, beef and mutton, various furs and precious medicinal materials and spices produced in Western Xia.

The peace agreement has been concluded for more than two years, although the Great Song Dynasty banned the opening of bilateral trade with the Western Xia, its intention was to trap the Xia State, so that their green salt, fur, beef and mutton and other things could not be exported, although the blow to the Western Xia was very huge, but this matter was also a double-edged sword, for the Great Song Dynasty northwest inland Zhulu Prefecture, there was no most convenient supply of green salt, they could only rely on the sea salt transported along the coast and the south for food; The difference in taste is not enough, and what is unbearable is that many businessmen took advantage of this article of the peace agreement to sell the bitter sea salt to the northwest state capitals at a higher price, and the salt price remained high, and the people complained.

At the same time, the price of beef and mutton in the south rose sharply, because the beef and mutton produced in the northwest were really limited, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty liked to eat beef and sheep.

In this way, it will cause an imbalance between supply and demand and commercial retaliation, if you take sea salt, I will soar the price of beef and mutton, you will pit me, I will pit you, in two years, the price of these basic living materials has soared several times, and the harm is very great; Even if the imperial court explicitly prohibits it, it can't stop this wind of mutual price increases.

Like precious fur and other things, there are few supplies in major cities, but the demand for fur in the inner houses of dignitaries and nobles has not decreased and increased dramatically, the rarer the more there is a market, such as Bianliang City, a camel hair carpet has been worth 20 yuan, which is worth a family's living expenses for a year; Others, such as the silver fox shoulders of Western Xia, white wolf skins, bear mattresses and other things, the price is even more staggering.

Su Jin saw this point, smuggling steel, saltpeter and gunpowder and other prohibited items naturally could not be done, but there was no psychological pressure on daily necessities and luxury goods, when the peace agreement was concluded, the reason why the bilateral trade was blocked was not so much to trap the Western Xia, but to think about the Yeli tribe and the trade of war horses; Now a few years have passed, the vitality of the Western Xia is also slowly recovering, due to the closure of trade, the green salt fur and other things in the Xixia Kingdom are eager to sell, the private merchants in the two places would rather risk their lives to smuggle across the mountains and mountains, only three months last winter, the border city has captured more than 700 people, it is enough to see the urgency of supply and demand in the two countries.

Su Jin discussed the idea with Yan Biyun and others, although Yan Biyun felt that it was against the way of doing business against the peace agreement and smuggling, but after thinking about it, Su Jin had already secretly smuggled tens of thousands of grain and war horses with the Yeli tribe, so why pretend to be high at this moment; But the only thing to worry about is the cost, according to Su Jin, one vote is one vote, this time Xixia wants to get back hundreds of cars of green salt, and the beef and mutton fur must be as much as possible, but what about the money?

"Didn't Yinzhuang deposit more than 4 million yuan? Originally, I wanted to redeem your dowry private money first, but now I think that after taking it and making this business, I will say that it will be three months soon, or half a year at most, and the funds will definitely be able to be returned; It's not that you can't see the market for green salt fur, as long as you bring it back, there will definitely be huge profits. ”

Yan Biyun frowned and said, "But, didn't you say that there was a problem with the millions of people coming from it?" What if I take it to purchase and people want to withdraw the money? ”

Su Jin said: "It's only a few months, block the news, and you can return to the cage soon." ”

Yan Biyun said: "Husband, this is a big gamble, Biyun doesn't approve of this, you promised me, no longer take risks, not to mention whether it will be run, once the matter itself is known, it will be extremely unfavorable to Husband, someone will definitely want to attack us." ”

Su Jin said: "I understand what you said, I think about it, I can't hide it, but the emperor doesn't have to worry about it, I just said that this is a condition attached to the trade of the war horses of the Yeli tribe, and he is willing to trade only if he buys their other goods, even if the emperor knows that there is a cat, he will not make a sound; The Northwest didn't ask him for a penny, he would just keep his head down. ”

Yan Biyun thought for a while and said: "Since the husband is determined to do so, the slave family will not say much, so the slave family will order someone to go to the capital and let the money shopkeeper send the money." ”

Su Jin stepped forward to hold Yan Biyun's shoulder and said: "Sister Yan, it's not that I'm willing to take risks, don't you know the current situation, I must reverse this predicament as soon as possible, without strong money as a backing, do you think your husband can still stand in the northwest?" The front made a radical mistake, the Pearl City cost too much, and the back can only be made up for with another mistake, after the success of this matter, the financial crisis can be slowly alleviated, and so on iron mining, the tax revenue of the Pearl City can gradually return in August, and then we will be relieved. ”

Yan Biyun sighed lightly and said: "Husband, everything that the slave family listens to you is, in fact, you are penniless, and the slave family is willing to follow you to farm and raise chickens, so that's nothing." ”

Su Jin smiled: "Then I didn't mess around for nothing?" I still have dreams that haven't come true. ”

Yan Biyun smiled, kissed Su Jin, and went to arrange the matter.

Su Jin immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Yeli Duanyun of the Yeli tribe, in the past two years, Yeli Duanyun and Su Jin have been writing constantly, every other month, the two of them will meet in the wolf cave of the original passion, lingering for a few days before returning.

Yeli Duanyun never mentioned the future with Su Jin, the vitality of the Yeli tribe has not yet recovered, and she has no way to leave it alone, she can only support the girder of the tribe; Su Jin understood her situation, and did not urge her, everything was up to her to decide.

But Li Ahri was a little troublesome, when the construction of the Baoshan mine began, she stayed with Su Jin for more than a month, and then the matter couldn't be hidden, and Li Yuanhao knew about it, Li Yuanhao was furious and didn't let her out of the palace again; Su Jin is also helpless, in the past two years, the DPRK and the affairs at hand have been complicated, and he can't spare himself; Even if you vacate your body, there is no way to solve this matter, do you send someone to propose marriage to Li Yuanhao? Want Li Yuanhao's daughter to be his concubine? Li Yuanhao is not like thunder, it is strange.

In the past two years, Su Jin can only comfort Li Ahri through Yeli Duanyun often writing letters and sending gifts, promising that she will not abandon her, Su Jin also asked Li Ahri to pay attention to herself, once she has the opportunity, she will escape from the palace and come to her side, no matter how capable Li Yuanhao is, he can't reach out to his side to arrest people, unless he presses himself through Zhao Zhen, or starts another war, and he can't do these two, he can completely deny it.

However, Li Ahri has never had a chance to escape, and Su Jin is also in a hurry.

More than ten days later, when Qianzhuang's more than 4 million Guan Yun arrived in Pearl City, Yeli Duanyun also rushed to Pearl City in person after receiving Su Jin's letter.

In the face of the luxury and grandeur of Pearl City, as well as many unheard of and unseen facilities, Yeli Duanyun's eyes widened.

Originally, when she had a tryst with Su Jin a few years ago, Su Jin told her how good the city was, Yeli Duanyun didn't believe it very much, and when all this was really presented in front of him, Yeli Duanyun looked at Su Jin with admiration in his eyes, he was simply worshipping.
