Ten thousand tiles, inside the golden arch building.

"Brother Ke Province, you are actually the head of state here? Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

Before the Kaifeng dish was put on the table, Ah Guda had already figured out that the young man in front of him who was familiar with him at first sight was actually the head of this fat and drooling Jiehe City!

"It's just a small shopping mall," Wu Haogu replied with a smile, "How can it be compared to your family's Taishi with thousands of iron horses, crisscrossing the white mountains and black waters?" ”

Ah Gu laughed: "The Ke Province is not bad here, and the big city is not worse than the Liaoyang Mansion of the Khitans." And the houses here are also beautiful, they are all red, they are really beautiful, and the people are rich, all of them wear silk and satin, and the food is good, but the soldiers are too weak...... Ke Province, aren't you afraid that other heads of state will bring troops to rob you? ”

Other Führers? Wu Hao Gu Xin said: This Wanyan great monk regards the head of state as a tribal leader, right?

Also, why would other heads of state bring troops to rob them? Didn't you talk about national integration and national unity?

"Monk, do you think this side is the same as the real territory of the birth girl, and it is all about fighting and killing all day long?" Guangming Jun held a cup of cloud tea, and interjected with a smile, "The Song people are heavy on literature and light on martial arts, they only like to study, farm, and do business, and they don't like to kill people and set fires. ”

"Then it can't be without a fighting hero!" Ah Gu glanced at Lin Chong and Zhou Yunqing, who were sitting on the table with Wu Haogu, and said with a smile: "But I see that the two people who follow the guest province are both heroes, they must be the Mouke of the guest province, right?" ”

Wu Haogu did not hide it, and admitted with a smile: "These two are indeed heroes, although my family's business market is in the realm of peace and happiness, but I still know the truth that forgetting to fight will be dangerous."

It's not that the younger brother is boasting, if there is really an idea of an eyeless thief rushing to attack the Jiehe Merchant City, the Jiehe Merchant Market can also make them come and go! ”

Wu Haogu's words sounded like bragging, but they were actually true! The current Jiehe Shang City is the place with the strongest troops in Hebei. Aguta felt that the soldiers here were weak, just because he didn't go to the "college district" outside the city to see.

1,000 imperial knights are being trained there, and it would definitely be too much to say that they are the strongest cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty at the moment, but in the entire sequence of Hebei and Kaifeng forbidden armies, there is no one who can compare with them!

In addition to these 1,000 Imperial Knights, another team of gold medal fighters of Wu Haogu, the Jiehe version of the "Warrior Legion", is also taking shape.

After the establishment of the Jiehe Commercial Market, the channel for purchasing young slaves through the merchants of the Liao State was completely opened. Therefore, Wu Haogu also accelerated the pace of buying small slaves on the grassland, and a copy of "Thousand Character Text" is now almost full (Wu Haogu's slave soldiers are all surnamed Wu, and the words on the "Thousand Character Text" are named), these children are now handed over to the apprentices and grandchildren of Zhou Tong who fled from Kaifeng Mansion, and establish a Jiehe Boxing Gym in Jiehe Hebei City (Liao Territory) to train these teenagers in the name of training wrestlers.

Wu Haogu's original plan was to train "slave soldiers" into cavalry, but Wu Haogu now has a more reliable source of knights - the "backup" of the imperial knights (the knight family cannot have only one knight), so he changed the plan and trained these small slaves to the path of heavy infantry.

In addition, Jiehe Academy (Six Arts Academy) and Yuntai Xuegong Jiehe Branch, as well as Yuntai Xuegong Jiehe Shipbuilding School, will also be opened in the near future. At that time, Jiehe Commercial City will have the ability to train low-level officers in batches......

……

When the wine and food came up, Ah Guda didn't have the heart to talk to Wu Haogu, and he didn't have time to enjoy the wine and food!

However, Wu Haogu was not much interested in the oil, water and liquor on the table, but talked about business with Guangmingjun.

"Ke Province wants to buy wheat from Liaodong? How much do you need? ”

Guangmingjun was not too surprised by Wu Haogu's request, because the population of Jiehe Shang City is now more and more, so many people have to eat! And the price of grain on Hebei East Road is not low, it is much more expensive than Tokyo Road in Liaodong!

"It takes 1 million stone a year."

"So much?" Guangmingjun was stunned for a moment, "How many people does Jiehe Shang City in Ke Province have now?" ”

"Almost 100,000." Wu Haogu smiled, "And it's still increasing, and the food is not enough to eat. In addition, there is a lot of food to brew wine immortals on this side of the Jiehe...... Guangming-kun, can each family with the right surname of Bohai on Tokyo Road even out 1 million stones? The price is easy to say. ”

"Of course there is food," Guangmingjun frowned slightly, "There are countless fertile soil in Tokyo Road, and less than one-tenth of it has been reclaimed, and even many of these tenths are often abandoned.

But can the province find so many ships to transport the 1 million stone grain? Ke Province probably didn't know that for the Bohai people in Liaodong, it was not much of a burden to farm land and pay for grain, and what really made them miserable was the forced labor of transporting grain...... Shipbuilding and shipping, and transporting grain into Xijin Province is really hard. ”

1 million stone of grain sounds like a lot, but for the black soil in the northeast, planting 300,000 mu of wheat is enough - the grain output of the black soil is not the same thing as the loess of the Central Plains, which has been cultivated for nearly 2,000 years and has long been exhausted!

Therefore, there are 1 million stone grain, but it is very difficult to transport these 1 million stone grain from Liaodong.

As for the reason for the difficulty of transportation, in fact, it is not how difficult and dangerous the roads in Liaodong are. At present, most of the land in the Tokyo Province of Liaoguo has not been cultivated, and the reclaimed land is on the Liaohe Plain near the Bohai Bay. However, the problem is that the Liao State does not have a developed commercial transportation, and mainly relies on official conscription for transportation.

And the matter of conscription transportation is difficult to organize on land, let alone to go to sea. Where do the servants recruited by the government of Liaodong Province know what kind of shipbuilding and navigation? Even the fishermen living by the sea could not build a sea boat that could sail far away, and the result of relying only on the blind brutality of the Liao government was that the errand from Liaodong shipping grain to Yanyun became the most hated thing by the Bohai people in Liaodong. The early Dayanlin uprising had something to do with this!

"You don't have to transport the grain," Wu Hao Gu said, "I will arrange for the Wu family's merchant ships to be shipped to Chenzhou." ”

Chenzhou is the second largest port in Liaodong Province, second only to Suzhou, located near the mouth of the Liao River, and is also the main port for the westward transportation of Liao grain. It is known as "Jingyi Lie, the most rushing".

Guangmingjun nodded and said, "That's the case...... If you do it yourself, then not to mention 1 million stones, even 1 million more stones will not be a problem. However, the old man's connections in the Bohai right surname can only ensure that the grain can be grown and transported to Chenzhou City.

As for transporting it out from Chenzhou, the old man can't control it. ”

Chenzhou is a military state, and the person in charge is the envoy of the Chenzhou Fengguo Army. This yamen Guangming Jun can't dredge it, but it can't be difficult for Wu Haogu. He has a way, and it will be enough to spend some money to dredge it.

"Just ship it to Chenzhou." Wu Haogu smiled, "As for the price of grain, on the day when the pharmacist and the great monk return to the north, I will send the steward of the Su family's grain store to follow me and talk to the right family of Bohai?" ”

"Okay," Guangming Jun nodded, "The old man wrote a few letters and asked the pharmacist to take them to the Bohai family...... You Song people spend money to buy grain, how can we Bohai people not sell it?

However, I don't know when the old man and the pharmacist will be able to do it in the Jiehe? Maybe it will delay the province to buy food. ”

"Oh?" Wu Haogu just smiled at the moment, "I don't know what happened to the Bright Jun coming to the boundary river in the south?" ”

"Hey, isn't it to sell some animal skins and medicinal herbs?" Ah Guda, who was eating and drinking, heard Wu Haogu's question, so he interjected, "It's not much this year, the animal skins and medicinal materials can't be sold at a high price, and the sons and daughters of the Tiger Water Department have worked hard for more than half a year to get a lot of good things." ”

Since last year, the Jurchens and Goryeo people have been selling animal skins and medicinal materials to the Great Song Dynasty market to cash out, and the relationship between supply and demand is naturally unbalanced.

"Oh," Wu Haogu nodded slightly, "I've heard about this, in the past two years, there have been a lot of animal skins and medicinal materials on the market, and the medicine merchants and leather merchants in the Song Kingdom can't eat them at all...... Great monk, do you know what's going on? ”

"Isn't it to raise money to fight?" Ah Guda sighed, showing a solemn expression, "The old emperor of the Liao State is dead, the country is not very stable, and the king of the Goryeo Kingdom is ambitious, and he wants to invade the land of our Jurchens, and in order to raise military expenses, he will sell leather goods and medicinal materials to you. And our Jurchen men naturally refused to be slaves of the Goryeo, so they had to prepare for war, and also collected a lot of medicine and hunting, and got it to you. ”

Wu Haogu sensed the worried expression on Akuta's face, and asked curiously, "Goryeo...... Is it strong? ”

"How not to be strong?" Guangming Jun said leisurely, "From the third year of the Holy Sect to the eighth year of Kaitai, thirty years before and after, the Liao State tried its best to send troops to attack, but in the end it was not able to take advantage, and it was defeated more than it won. In particular, the six-to-seven-year war of Kaitai ended in a crushing defeat of the Liao army's 100,000 troops. The second army of Tianyun and the right skin room suffered heavy casualties, and the remote tent was detailed and stable in Argoda, the guest province made the ancient envoy, the Bohai Sea was detailed and stable, and the Tianyun army was detailed and stable in the sea!

None of the Liao country's all-conquering troops could defeat Goryeo, and it was not easy to resist Goryeo with thousands of Jurchen tribes. I'm afraid that this big battle will eventually turn into another round of decisive battles between Goryeo and Daliao! ”

"......I see," Wu Hao Gu said in his heart: Obviously, both the Jurchen and the Bohai people overestimated the Goryeo, and most of the Khitans did not expect that the Jurchen had become so fierce that they could defeat the entire army of Goryeo with a few thousand people.

Before this war, there were miscalculations on all sides. And after the end of the Goryeo-Jurchen war, the prestige of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe should be established, which is enough to command the Jurchen tribes.

"That's it," Wu Haogu thought for a while, and said to Ah Guta, "Since you and the Great Monk are friends, then I will buy all these fur medicinal materials, if the Great Monk makes a price." ”

"This ......," Akuda smiled a little embarrassedly. Wu Haogu didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "But please also ask you to do me a favor, let's help each other." ”

"Good! If there is anything you want to help, just say it! ”
