When he was in Liao, Wu Haogu once thought about Pingzhou Zhang Jue for a while, but he didn't get the opportunity. Because Zhang Jue went to Beijing to take the Liaoguo Jinshi at that time...... In the end, of course, I was admitted, here in Liaoguo, the children of the family rarely take the Jinshi exam more than once, and they all won the lottery once.

"It turned out to be Jue's brother, and he looked up for a long time."

Although Zhang Jue was listed as a traitor in the later Song Dynasty, Wu Haogu himself was also a profiteer, and the profiteer and the warlord should be like-minded, so he greeted him politely.

However, Zhang Jue frowned slightly, he had heard Ma Renwang talk about Wu Haogu, and knew that Wu Haogu was a painter and a businessman, just a businessman......

After greeting him, Wu Haogu said to Xiao Er, who was about to pour tea: "Xiao Er, you can go, just arrange more good wine and good food." ”

"Whoa." Xiao Er took the order and went.

Seeing Xiao Er leaving, Ma Renwang smiled and said to Wu Haogu: "This Zhang Juezhi and Brother Zhao Zhong are also close friends, both are students of Mr. Murong, and their ambitions are the same. This time, the old man took him to the Great Song Dynasty to see the world. ”

The fact that Murong forgot to worry about the Song Dynasty also caused a lot of shock in the Liao Kingdom, after all, this old man ran a Xiangshan Academy, and many of Yan Yunhao's children were his students.

However, Old Man Murong's students were not implicated, and those who should be officials continued to be officials, after all, they were all masters of reincarnation!

"Is Ma Liangji still an official in Yanjing now?" Wu Haogu asked at this time.

"I'm still working as a deputy police patrolman," Ma Renwang said with a smile, "Chongdao, if you take up the post of Jiehe Shang City, you should be able to deal with him often." ”

On the Liao side, the police patrol institute is responsible for the security of the commercial market and the market, and the anti-smuggling is also the errand of the police patrol yard. The commercial market, the market, the market and so on are all under the jurisdiction of the transshipment envoy. Therefore, Wu Haogu's main negotiation objects in the future are Ma Renwang and Ma Zhi, which is very good.

Wu Haogu, Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue have already sat down as guests. Lin Wancheng made a cameo appearance as a tea pourer, poured tea soup for Wu Haogu and others, and then went out to guard.

Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Ma Caosi's words, does this mean that the establishment of Jiehe Commercial City is a foregone conclusion?" ”

"Foregone conclusion?"

The horse man was noncommittal, and only smiled and said: "With your martial arts here, it must not be a foregone conclusion, but it can also become a foregone conclusion, right?" ”

As soon as Ma Renwang's words came out, Zhang Jue beside him immediately showed a surprised expression. Zhang Jue knew that Wu Haogu was the "Lucky Official" of the Song Dynasty, and there was also a rampant official position from Qipin, which was really not low. But he didn't think that Wu Haogu could play any role in this Liao-Song talks?

After all, Wu Haogu is just a businessman, and he is so young......

Wu Haogu smiled faintly, "How much do you want?" ”

"At least 100,000," Centaur Wang smiled, "it's not difficult, is it?" ”

Wu Haogu shook his head: "It's difficult!" ”

"What? Don't have enough money on hand? ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Money is not a problem, the problem is that I can't give it to you!" ”

Zhang Jue was a little stunned, 100,000 yuan! It's not 100,000 yuan, but 100 million yuan (according to 1,000 yuan to 1 yuan), how can it sound like a small amount of money in this Wu Haogu's tone?

"Can't give?" The centaur was stunned, "Why?" ”

"No why," Wu Haogu shook his head, "I have 100,000 yuan, but I can't give it away without a name...... Otherwise, the court will not be able to explain. ”

"This ......," the centaur looked at Wu Haogu, "what do you want?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Wood, the lush greenery on Yan Mountain is full of trees, it's not difficult to cut some wood for me, right?" I will produce 300 wen for a piece of wood. For 500,000 pieces of wood, there will be 150,000 yuan...... You Da Liao always have 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to earn, right? Of course, none of this money can be given to copper, only silk. ”

The so-called "material" is a woodworking noun, which means a piece of wood, and it is not clear that the specification is Wu Haogu. Oh, the size of the ship in this era is also about "how much material", that is, how much wood is used in this ship.

Wu Haogu was going to develop the shipbuilding industry in Jiehe Commercial City, and at the same time, he also needed to build a large-scale commercial market, which naturally required a lot of timber.

And these timbers are difficult to obtain from the east and west roads of Hebei. It's not that there are no trees, it's that they are not allowed to be cut down. Because the tree is said to be able to defend against cavalry - I don't know how the brains of those civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty were opened? Do they think that the Khitan will ride a horse and crash into a tree? People are nomads, and their equestrianism is so bad that they are still nomads?

And...... Trees can be used to craft siege engines when they are cut down! The siege equipment is very large, the transportation remains the same, and it is generally built by cutting down trees nearby.

In short, the trees in Hebei in the Song Dynasty were not easy to cut, and cutting hundreds of thousands of them was enough to be a great crime of treason, so if you want to cut down the trees of Liao, you can only cut down the trees of Liao. This is a good thing, cut down a little more trees in Liao, and when the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was in the future, it would not be easy for the cavalry of the forbidden army to bump into it.

And the cost of cutting down trees in the Yanshan area of Liao is also not high. Not to mention the use of conscripts to chop, the task is assigned to the big clan, and another piece of wood is given to 200 Wen, and there will be as many as you want. Therefore, the Great Liao Imperial Court could make money from this transaction.

Of course, this is not something that ordinary businessmen can do!

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty prohibits the outflow of copper coins. However, the silk of the Song Dynasty was also equivalent to money to the Liao State, because money was of little significance to the Liao State, which was not developed in the commodity economy. Moreover, the Liao State now controlled the Silk Road, and the silk silk they obtained could also be exported to the Uighurs (who were also middlemen).

"500,000 pieces of wood is not a problem...... "Centaur Wang had never thought about the problem of tree defense cavalry, but he still shook his head, "But this is not the same thing as you paying 100,000 yuan in advance." ”

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "How can 500,000 materials of wood be enough?" In the future, the Jiehe Commercial Market will also open a shipyard, a charcoal factory, and a wood factory, and wood is a big deal! In the future, 500,000 materials are possible, and Cao Si can be interested in operating one? ”

As he spoke, Wu Haogu stretched out another finger, "I can't guarantee that as long as Cao Si is willing to join forces with Xiaguan to do a timber business, 10 million yuan a year can always be shared." Moreover, the lower officials can advance one year's dividends to Caosi first. If Xiao stays there, he can also advance a year's dividends. I don't know if it's possible? ”

20 million yuan, according to the calculation of more than 700 yuan here in the Song Dynasty, it is a bribe of 27,800 yuan, oh, it should be "advance dividends" and go out like this!

This gesture made Zhang Jue, who was an accompaniment, gasp: How rich is this martial arts?

"This ......" Ma Renwang hesitated, of course he is a clean official, so naturally he does not accept bribes, but it is completely legal for the Ma family to do some business. Isn't it okay to condescend to do some business? There are dividends when you do business, and it's okay to share a little in advance, right?

"It's not a secret," Ma Renwang hesitated for a moment and said, "This official thinks that Liaomu's southern transportation is beneficial to both of us, and if the Great Liao Imperial Court earns forty or fifty thousand yuan in a year, it can also alleviate the financial tension." It's just that Xiao stayed behind, he was the brother-in-law of King Yan......"

Of course, Xiao Baoxian is also a Qing official, and he is also Yelu Yanxi's brother-in-law, and his sister will be the queen in the future.

With this relationship, it is difficult to buy Xiao Baoxian with money.

"Everyone has their own good," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I don't know what this Xiao Baoxian likes?" ”

Ma Ren looked and said: "Although this Xiao Baoxian is a Xi person, he admires the literary style of the Han family, especially likes to chant poems and fill in lyrics, and he is pretentious. ”

"Oh, really?" Wu Haogu nodded.

Zhang Jue interjected at this time: "By the way, these days, Xiao stays behind and often runs to Xiaofan Tower. ”

"Come to Xiaofan Tower?" Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, "Come and eat Kaifeng vegetables?" ”

Zhang Jue shook his head, "It seems that I am obsessed with an Oiran lady who came from Kaifeng." ”

"Is it a bluff?"

Zhang Jue nodded, and his face also showed a look of admiration, "It's her...... She is an Oiran from Kaifeng Mansion, not only is she beautiful, but she also plays the piano well, sings well, and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

As he was talking, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open by Lin Wancheng.

Then I saw a horseman's entourage leaning into half of his body, "Lord, Xiao stayed in Weifu and came." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!

Wu Haogu thought for a while and asked, "Can the pretty golden girl perform on stage?" ”

"Not yet, but soon." It was Lin Wancheng who answered.

Wu Haogu said: "Ask her to come and drink with me, right away." ”

What the? Zhang Jue was shocked by Wu Haogu's words, that is the Oiran lady of Kaifeng Mansion! Wu Haogu is just a talented man who has won the Jinshi, but he is just a businessman, how can he call the beautiful gold girl like this?

"Whoa."

Lin Wancheng answered and went, and he didn't bring any tokens, in fact, he himself was a sign - he was an old guard of Wu Haogu! Who doesn't know in the Qinglou circle of Kaifeng Mansion? There are also a lot of elderly celebrities who want to seduce him!

Wu Haogu saw that Lin Wancheng was gone, so he looked at Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue and said: "If it is inconvenient for the two of you to meet Xiao Baoxian, you will avoid it for the time being, I will have two drinks with Qiao Jinniang here, and wait for Xiao Baoxian to meet." ”

"It's okay," said the horseman, "then the old man and Zhang Juezhi will take their leave first." Juezhi, let's go. ”

"Oh, then take your leave."

Zhang Jue really didn't know much about the methods of Wu Haogu, a businessman, and looked out of the private room with the horseman, and when he went downstairs, he suddenly saw Qiao Jinniang holding a yaoqin, wearing a red dress, and quickly followed Lin Wancheng upstairs, and asked as he walked: "Daddy Lin, the big official finally remembered the slave, this is really good......

What the? Zhang Jue couldn't believe his ears anymore. What is the number of this martial arts? Can a woman like a beautiful girl fall for it?
