"Come on, come on, have another glass of wine in the fairy, Wu Zhou Mu, let's get drunk and rest!"

Wu Haogu diligently poured a glass of wine for Wu Yan, and filled himself and Tong Guan with it.

The wine banquet placed in the office of the Bo Si in Jiehe City has already reached the time when the wine has been drunk for three rounds, the dishes have passed five flavors, and the guests and hosts are all happy.

The flowing water seat placed in the lobby of the government office has changed the table, and in the flower hall in the backyard of the government office, Wu Haogu waved his hand to let the singer who accompanied the wine step down, and then he and Tong Guan put on a posture of talking with Wu Yanzhong.

Of course, the content of the heart-to-heart conversation is mainly friendship, and it has a slight connection with all evil money.

I don't know how many glasses of wine have been in the stomach, Wu Yanzhong, who is already half drunk and half sober, also began to spit out the truth, frowned and said: "Wuke Province, let me tell you the truth, those Koreans really don't have much money...... They are different from our Great Song Dynasty, they are still bartering, except for Goryeo Haizhou and Kaijing, there is no money anywhere else.

By the way, not long ago, the Korean people just minted coins, called Haidong Tongbao, a total of only 15,000 yuan, which is really poor! ”

Goryeo was not as poor as he said, but the degree of economic development was different. The manor economy is self-sufficient, and it does not need any currency to make the economy run normally, and the cost of fighting a war is relatively low.

Wu Haogu and Tong Guan actually didn't drink much, and the two looked at each other.

Tong Guan spoke first: "I don't talk about money with Goryeo, our two countries are friends, and the official family said that Goryeo has no money to buy our weapons, so we will lend money to Goryeo...... When the Goryeo Kingdom has money in the future, it will be repaid slowly. ”

Wu Haogu also smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, there is no money to borrow!" There are a lot of depots in Jiehe Merchant City, and with the reputation of the Goryeo Kingdom, millions of taels can always be borrowed. ”

"Borrow?" Wu Yanzhong, who was half-drunk and half-awake, also felt that this matter was unreliable, and shook his head again and again, "The big official and the guest province are laughing, who is willing to lend money to Goryeo?" If the king doesn't pay it back, won't he lose all his money? ”

"How so?" Wu Haogu laughed, "Goryeo is a country of gentlemen, how can you borrow money and not pay it back after it is a basket?" ”

In fact, the Koreans borrowed money and did not pay it back, and Wu Haogu was not afraid. The money of the "Iron Bank" of Jiehe, if you say you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back? What about dreaming? Moreover, the war between the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jurchens is easy to fight, if they dare to pay their bills, hehehe......

Tong Guan also laughed and said, "Yes, how can a Goryeo gentleman borrow money and not pay it back?" Besides, the borrowed money is all collateralized, and as long as the Goryeo Kingdom gives the mortgage, there is no fear of not being able to borrow money. ”

"Mortgage?" Wu Yanpet listened to this and said it was fresh, what is the mortgage? Mortgage the royal seal of Goryeo?

"Mortgage tax customs!" Wu Haogu smiled and asked, "How many big customs are there in Goryeo now?" How much tariff can I earn each year? ”

"There are three major tax customs in Goryeo," Wu Yanzhong was also half drunk, and actually really talked to Wu Haogu about the tax customs, "One is the Weiyuan Pass on the Great Wall in the northwest; the second is the Haeju Pass of Goryeo near Kaijing; The third is Busan Pass in Ulju, southern Goryeo. However, these three levels do not collect much tax, and the average is not 100,000 yuan a year. ”

"Only 100,000?" Wu Haogu asked, "The maritime trade between the Goryeo Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty is still quite prosperous, why is it so much?" ”

"Hey," Wu Yanpet waved his hand, "I don't know anything about the Wuke Province, the people who can do maritime trade in Goryeo are all related to the two classes of nobles, and the money has gone into the pockets of the two classes......"

"Isn't that okay," Wu Haogu clapped his hands, "As long as the Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass are mortgaged, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the millions?" Your king's loss is 100,000 a year, what is it? ”

"yes!" Tong Guan also said, "Just imprison the tax and let the merchant collect the money...... There is no need to deposit more, for 20 years, you can borrow 4 million yuan for safekeeping! At that time, there is no need to repay the debt, so let the creditor collect the money at the tax customs by himself. ”

"Really?" Wu Yanpet plucked out his ears, "Impossible, right?" It would be good to receive 1.2 million in 20 years for two customs customs. This is still collected by the Goryeo State Government, if it is replaced by a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that 600,000 yuan will not be collected......"

That's right, a merchant, he fell behind in the Great Song Dynasty, let alone in the Goryeo Kingdom controlled by the manor nobles?

The two classes of nobles of Goryeo would pay taxes to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty? Isn't this a dream? What's wrong with not being afraid of death?

Wu Haogu waved his hand: "Wu Zhoumu, you don't have to worry about this...... As long as your king is willing to mortgage the tax customs, we can lend you 4 million, with this money, you can buy as many weapons as you want, and you are afraid that you will not be able to beat the Jurchens? ”

"Yes," Tong Guan also said, "As long as the Jurchen is defeated, Song Li will join forces at that time...... What is 4 million? ”

Wu Hao Guman drank a glass of wine, and said with a mouthful of wine: "Wuzhou Mu, do you really care about 4 million when our official family is us?" The official family really wants to help Goryeo......"

"Martial Arts Province!" Tong Guan seemed to be a little sober and shouted loudly.

Wu Haogu pressed his forehead at this time, "Ah, this is not what the official family meant, uh...... Needless to say.

In short, as long as you bet on two customs, we will give you weapons worth 4 million! ”

Wu Yanpet understood a little bit when he heard it!

The 4 million was probably allocated by the Great Song Dynasty official family from the inner treasury...... Maybe the scared turban civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty stopped them from openly supporting Goryeo, so they arranged it like this, right?

This is the ...... It seems doable! There are also four or five sober Wu Yanzhong secretly thinking that the two tax customs are nothing, and the horizontal and vertical are on the territory of the Goryeo Kingdom. The Song people can't collect taxes and have nothing to do, this is not afraid.

Yes, when I turn around, I will send someone to Goryeo to report the good news to the king!

……

At the same time, on the third floor of the newly completed Jinzhu Building in Jiehe Commercial City, the Bohai people "Da Guangming" and Guo Yaoshi, who had not met Wu Haogu for many days, were in a private room full of Kaifeng dishes, and several stout men wearing round-necked wide-sleeved leather robes, bald heads without hats, and two slender pigtails behind their bare heads.

These men with pigtails are obviously led by a sturdy middle-aged man in his thirties with a face full of refined taste. He sat face to face with "Da Guangming", holding a fried chicken with golden skin in one hand and a white wine jug in the other. After taking a sip of wine, he took a bite of fried chicken, and after swallowing it, he smiled and said in Bohai dialect: "Straight lady thief, this Han people's things are good, the wine is strong enough, the food is delicious, the cloth is also beautiful, and this city is even more prosperous and happy!"

When I was in the north, I heard people talk about the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty and what a world of flowers, but I still can't believe it, but now I know it. ”

"Da Guangming" smiled when he heard this, glanced at Guo Yaoshi, and just laughed: "Where is it here?" Jiehe Shang Market is just a small city on the border of Song and Liao, and the big cities of those southerners who go south really don't know how many times more prosperous than here!

The pharmacist has been to Kaifeng Mansion, you can talk to Ah Guta about Kaifeng Mansion! ”

A bone beat! The Jurchen who was eating with "Da Guangming" and Guo Yaoshi was named Ah Guta, and he was from Wanyan - it was Wanyan Aguda!

If Wu Haogu heard the name of Yan Agu, he didn't know if he would let the three thugs Zhou Yunqing, Lin Chong, and Zhao Zhongge rush up and chop this scourge into seventeen or eighteen pieces!

It's a pity that Wu Haogu is unlikely to know that Wanyan Aguta has come to Jiehe Merchant City, because Jiehe Merchant Market is originally a mixed place. You don't need any passport or visa to enter the market, just register under a pseudonym. If you want to live for a long time, that is, to get a temporary hukou, you can make up whatever your surname is called, and there is no way to verify it.

And when Wanyan Aguta entered the city, Guo Yaoshi mentioned that he reported the pseudonym of the great monk Wanyan - this Buddhist name was very popular in the Liao Kingdom, and it is not surprising at all. And there are a lot of Jurchens with the surname Wanyan, not necessarily Jurchens, but there are also many Jurchens in mature Jurchens.

"I don't want the Han people of the Southern Dynasty to be so generous!" After listening to Pharmacist Guo's narration, Wanyan Aguda said in an envious tone.

At this time, Ah Guda would not have thought that his children and grandchildren would one day become the masters of the flowery world of the Central Plains. He didn't even think that he would be able to destroy the Great Liao Kingdom in the future and become the founding king of the Great Jin Kingdom.

In fact, he can't think that far now, because he is not the heir of the Wanyan tribe at all, and his brother Wanyan Wuyashu is the heir of the Wanyan tribe and the next Du Bo Jilie (meaning of the great chief) of the Jurchen tribal alliance.

It is precisely because he is not the heir that he was sent by his father and brother to the Jiehe Commercial Market to buy and sell furs and medicinal herbs - this trade used to be carried out through the Bohai people and the Yanyun Han people, but because they had a lot of things to sell this year, the merchants of the Bohai people and the Yanyun Han people couldn't eat them, so they let Ah Gu beat the horse.

In addition, there is another treasure from the Jiehe River that has also aroused the interest of the Jurchen Wanyan Department, that is, the wine fairy that Akuta is drinking.

Unlike the Goryeo people, who needed a lot of weapons to arm their many but not sophisticated soldiers, the elite soldiers of the Wanyan tribe numbered in the thousands, and they did not need much equipment, and they could also get a lot of iron tools and stubborn horns through the Bohai people, and the horses were enough for them.

Therefore, what is needed to prepare for the war is not weapons, but enough silk and wine. These two things are used to envelop the leaders of the Jurchen tribes, and in the process of establishing the Jurchen tribal alliance in the Wanyan Tribe, it is indispensable to drink blood wine and send silk silks...... How can you do it without good wine and silk?

This time, Ah Guda came to the south, mainly to get enough silk silk and fine wine from the Jiehe Commercial Market to bring back the tiger water.

And his secondary task was to inquire about the reality of the Goryeo people - his father Wanyan Yingge and elder brother Wu Yashu did not want to go to war with the Goryeo Kingdom.

Because the legendary Goryeo Kingdom was very powerful, it was once inseparable from the Khitans......
