Yelu Hongji was the emperor of the Liao State who believed in Buddhism and was obsessed, and at this time, the Great Liao was full of Buddhist temples and monks, all of whom reached the point of disaster.

If the imam of the Tianfang Sect wants to enter this market firmly controlled by monks and nuns, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Unless they can spread the truth with the best sword and fire......

"How could the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce go and spread the Heavenly Fang Sect to the Emperor of Liao?" Mo Niangzi was amused by Wu Haogu's strange thoughts, "That's a trading house, not Tianfang Temple." Besides, even if it is Tianfang Temple, he doesn't dare to grab food with the monks and nuns of the Liao State, so he won't be hacked to death by the Liao Emperor? ”

It is also said that although the Heavenly Fang Sect is very powerful in the later life, almost no one dares to mess with it. But it's the barbaric 11th century...... And there is no beacon of democracy and freedom that presides over justice to protect the Heavenly Sect. As for the Qarakhanid Uighurs and Seljuk Turks in the Western Regions, they couldn't even defeat the exiled Yelu Dashi, let alone the Liao State, which had not yet collapsed.

Fortunately, the Buddhist madman Yelu Hongji had no interest in preaching westward, otherwise Green Central Asia would have suffered.

"So what are you worried about?" Wu Haogu asked.

Mo Niangzi smiled: "Don't Dong Weng know that the deeds on the sea are done by swords?

To the north of Haizhou, there has never been a Heavenly Sect of Maritime Commerce! To the north of Quanzhou, they have no bottom advantage. ”

At this time, the Great Food Merchants controlled the Strait of Malacca, so they had an overwhelming advantage in the maritime trade between the South and Western Seas.

However, to the north of Quanzhou, the advantage of big food and maritime merchants gradually became smaller. When I arrived in Mingshu, I didn't have much share, and there was almost no trace of the big food and maritime merchants in Hakata Port, Japan. Although Yangzhou and Haizhou are large commercial banks of seafood merchants, their market share is very small.

As for the Liao and Goryeo markets, they are similar to those in Japan, and there are basically no traces of big food merchants.

The main reason for this situation, in addition to the absolute superiority of Buddhism in Japan, Goryeo and Liao, is that the Han Chinese, Japanese and Goryeo Hai used force to expel the Great Maritime Merchants.

If the Jiehe Shang City, dominated by Wu Haogu, allowed the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce to settle in, it would undoubtedly be disgusted by the Han and Goryeo maritime merchants. The sea in the north may also be mixed up because of the entry of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, it is also possible that the Jiehe Merchant City itself could be exploited by the cunning Great Eater Maritime Merchants and become involved in conflicts at sea.

"When you open the door to do business, how can you drive customers out?" Wu Haogu waved his hand indifferently, "Go and invite him in." ”

Now Wu Haogu is not afraid of a sword and sword shadow on the sea in the Northland...... It's good to be able to fight! If the fight starts, can the water patrol office of Jiehe Commercial City develop in a grand manner?

After a while, Mo Niangzi walked into Wu Haogu's study with Bai Siwen according to Wu Haogu's instructions, and she talked and laughed all the way.

It seems that the one who said bad things about the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce in front of Wu Haogu just now was not the Lady of Morrimo at all.

Wu Haogu walked to the door of the study to greet him, and smiled at Bai Siwen: "It's been almost two years since Haizhou was separated, has Bai Yuanwai always been okay?" ”

Bai Siwen sang a fat song: "Thanks to the blessing of the big officials, Xiaodi has been adrift at sea for the past two years, and he has finally had a safe journey, and he can be regarded as living up to his trust." ”

"Oh, really?" Wu Haogu looked very surprised, "Bai Yuanwai brought the big food horses and Gulam war slaves to Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"The good horse is still in Quanzhou." Bai Siwen smiled, "There are three of them, all of them are stallions, and they can be stallions." ”

Of course, this is bragging, and the merchant ships that go to Tianzhu to buy horses will not be able to return to Quanzhou until next year at the earliest. But even if it's bragging, it's really helping Wu Haogu do things.

"Ghulam is here with Little Bottom, both warriors who have fought the evil Crusader bandits in the West."

Bai Siwen continued to brag that the evil Crucidian robbers were of course Crusaders. However, they had only just set foot on Asian soil in 1097, and only regained the holy city of Jerusalem last summer. The Heavenly Sect warriors who had fought with them had already gone to Heaven to hold hands with the seventy-two virgins, so how could they have come to the East now?

"Yes, yes." Wu Haogu nodded again and again, but he didn't break it, "First ask a few warriors to rest in the cold house for a while, and when you recover your strength, you are inviting a friend to test them." ”

He planned to invite Brother Zhao Zhong to come out and try the skills of those Heavenly Sect warriors...... Not only to try martial arts, but also to try the abilities and methods they teach their students, but also to learn about the military science of Tianfangjiao.

Learning from others' strengths can make a difference. Wu Haogu will not rest on his laurels, thinking that the east wind must overwhelm the west wind!

In addition, Wu Haogu also hopes to obtain Western science and philosophy books through the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce, and if possible, bring in some Arab and Roman scholars to the future lighthouse university.

Wu Haogu then said: "Outside the white staff, the state funeral will not pass for a few days, and a certain is now a court official, so it is inconvenient to put wine for you to catch the wind." Wait for the national mourning to pass, and then I will make up for you. ”

As a near luck, Wu Haogu is not afraid that someone will impeach him for accepting bribes - who is taking bribes if he doesn't take bribes? That's not a problem. But you can't let people catch the handle of your infidelity. For example, it is disloyal to eat and drink during the state funeral, so his life these days is very modest.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Bai Siwen said with a smile, "Actually, Xiaodi has another thing to come north this time, and I want to ask for it." ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Haogu asked.

Bai Siwen said: "Xiaodi heard in Quanzhou that the big officials were ordered to build an autonomous commercial market on the bank of the boundary river at the junction of the Liao and Song Dynasties? ”

Sure enough, as Mo Niangzi expected!

Wu Hao Guxin said: These Arab businessmen are still very shrewd...... However, they can be optimistic about the Jiehe Commercial Market, which also shows that the Jiehe Commercial Market is really promising.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Does the Aladdin Commercial Bank outside the white staff want to invest money in the Jiehe Commercial Market?" That's great...... It's better to wait until April, and this official will go north to the Jiehe Commercial Market, if you have a little spare time, go with you. When you see the appearance of Jiehe Commercial Market, can you discuss how to invest money and start a business? ”

"Okay, everything depends on the officials."

Bai Siwen was full of promises, and he also admired his vision and means a little in his heart. The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce has wanted to enter the Northland for hundreds of years.

But it has been beaten out by those damned Han and Korean maritime merchants! Now, if you can tie up with the corrupt official Wu Haogu, most likely you can gain a firm foothold in Jiehe Shang Market in one fell swoop!

With the base of Jiehe Commercial City, the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce will most likely be able to travel back and forth on the sea in the north!

……

"Ink Lady! But I waited for you, and Master and I almost thought we had found the wrong place. ”

When Mo Li returned from the Pear Blossom Courtyard to her mansion in the inner city of Kaifeng Mansion, it was already dark, but there were two people standing outside the door of her house, both leading horses and luggage, looking like dusty servants. It was the monk Jingming, the Holy Father of Mingjiao, and his apprentice Fang La.

"Master, Thirteenth Brother, I can wait for you."

Mo Niangzi patted the door of her house, and soon an old mother came to open the door.

"Come in and talk." Mo Niangzi invited the two into her own living room, and there were already a few plates of cold dishes on the table, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's use a little bit together. She said to her maid again, "Seventh lady, go to the Cai family's shop at the mouth of the alley to order a few drinks and dishes."

By the way, master, thirteenth brother, do you avoid meat? ”

Mo Niangzi is not taboo to eat meat, the authentic Manichaean priesthood is only celibate, forbidden to hold hands, but there is no need to "eat vegetables and serve demons", but the localized Mingjiao spread in the Jiangnan area has vegetarian rules, but can't help but hold hands.

"Poor monks are vegetarians, and thirteen are not taboo." Monk Jingming said.

"Seven Niangzi, call a few more vegetarian dishes." After Mo Niangzi sent away her maid, she ordered two cups of cloud tea for the monk and Fang La.

"Mo Niangzi," Monk Jingming asked with a smile, "I heard that you made a fortune in Kaifeng Mansion, looking at the house, it's true." ”

"It's useless for a slave to have a lot of money," Mo Niangzi said, "It's not for Mingjiao?"

I called you here this time for the sake of Mingjiao...... Nu felt that it was time to rebuild the Mingjiao Altar. ”

"The main altar has always been there," Fang Ladao said, "It's in Qingxi County, Muzhou." ”

"The slave is talking about the general altar of the Ming Sect in the world," Mo Niangzi said, "It is the ancestral court of the Ming Sect!" ”

"You want to rebuild the Holy See?" Monk Jingming was stunned, "Ji Yizhi also means this?" ”

"Him?" Mo Niangzi smiled, "He's just a listener." ”

Although Ji Yi's family has always sponsored the Manichaean sect in exile in China, they have only done so for commercial gain, and although they are believers, they do not choose people.

Moreover, although Ji Yi also wanted to legitimize Manichaeism, he just wanted to prevent the Ji family from being implicated by Manichaean heretics, and never thought of rebuilding the Manichaean Church.

The rebuilding of the Manichaean See is no joke! This indicates the revival of Manichaeism and the beginning of a counteroffensive - a counter-offensive against Persia!

And the forces of the Heavenly Fang Sect, which are extremely disgusted with Manichaeism, will definitely have a fierce reaction, and may even have a serious conflict with the Ji family maritime merchants.

"He doesn't agree?" Monk Jingming asked with some concern.

Mo Niangzi shook her head, "So what?" If he doesn't agree, we can't do it? Now is the best opportunity, even the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce of the Heavenly Fang Sect is ready to intervene in the Jiehe Business Market, do we want to let go of this opportunity? ”

"Holy Maiden, what are you going to do?" Monk Jingming asked.

"The slave plans to move all the families of the Chosen People to Jiehe Shang City." Mo Niangzi said, "At the same time, the Dayun Guangming Temple was built in Jiehe Shang City as the residence of the Manichaean Holy See. ”

"The government of Nakai River Merchant City......"

"The government of Jiehe Commercial City will welcome us," Mo Niangzi said with a smile, "because the Chosen People's House will bring industry to Jiehe Commercial Market, and it will make Jiehe Commercial Market prosperous in the shortest possible time." ”
