Xijin Mansion, southwest corner of Changle Fang. The Counting Lotto Accounts Trading Bureau occupies a rather large, but somewhat old, courtyard here, which was used as a storehouse, and most of the houses were piled with foul-smelling furs.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by Guangmingjun, or if this yard smells too strong and is not easy to live, in short, there are few people living in this courtyard, and they are all Guangmingjun's henchmen.

Probably this is the real stronghold of the Bohai anti-thieves in Nanjing Road, right? It's really not easy to detect the stronghold arranged in the hearts of the enemy!

Wu Haogu, who lives here, pondered: The ability of these Bohai thieves to engage in secret work is much better than himself......

When he was thinking about learning from the Bohai anti-thieves, Wu Haogu, who had changed into a Khitan-style robe, was wearing his sleeves and walked to a "secret room" in the deepest part of the courtyard. He had been living in that "secret room" for almost half a month, and he hadn't left this courtyard for half a step, and he hadn't spoken to anyone except Guo Yaoshi, Zhong Ge'er, Lin Chong, and Luo Hanwen.

But he didn't waste his time, these days, he followed Zhong Ge'er and Lin Chong to practice martial arts. Learn not only bows and arrows, but also swords. The main thing to practice the bow is to draw the bow, and I asked Pharmacist Guo to bring a soft bow for children to let Wu Hao Gu pull it every day. The sword is the posture of learning to draw and receive—it is said that this is very important, and if you don't practice drawing the sword well, you can't talk about slashing and stabbing people.

After practicing all morning of drawing a knife, Wu Haogu, who had been practicing so hard that his wrist hurt, had already arrived at the door of the "secret room" where he lived at this time. The door was pushed open, and a blonde chick knelt on the ground and bowed to Wu Haogu: "The slave welcomes the master." ”

The blonde chick is naturally the Jurchen slave of Wu Haogu, and I don't know if this girl was born a slave or was trained by Guo Yaoshi's family, in short, she is very docile and well-behaved, and she is absolutely obedient, and she is beaten and scolded without complaints......

What a little girl who seduces people to sin.

However, Wu Haogu did not lose his vigilance because of this - this girl is a murderous Jurchen! And it was trained by the cunning and sinister Guo Yaoshi's family. Maybe it's a female spy, but she can't be seduced!

When you bring her back to Kaifeng Mansion, you must torture her......

"Slaves and maids serve their masters." Luo Han raised her body and looked at Wu Haogu with a smile and said.

Although Wu Haogu didn't have a good heart for her, Luo Hanwen liked this Song master from the bottom of her heart. The master is young and handsome, and he is also a big official of the Song people, and it is really a blessing to follow him for several lifetimes!

Even if the master of Wuda is sometimes a little fierce, but the Luohan maid just likes it......

"Hmm!" Wu Haogu saw the appearance of Luohan and Wanle, and his face had already calmed down. He didn't pay much attention to her, so he walked to the dining table in the middle of the room.

The table was very low, and there were no chairs, so it was uncomfortable to sit on the ground and kneel. However, the food is quite delicious, all of which are carefully prepared by the Luohan maid, including steamed mutton, fish tart, iron horn grass (a kind of wild vegetable) and beef soup, and the staple food is a kind of pancake, all of which are made by the Luohan maid herself.

"Slave maid go and prepare bath water for you." Seeing Wu Haogu start to enjoy the food he made, the Luohan maid, who was overflowing with happiness in her heart, wanted to go and boil water for Wu Haogu to prepare for him to take a hot bath.

"Wait a minute, talk to me for a while."

"Oh." The arhat nodded happily.

She originally thought that she was a slave who was qualified to sleep with her, but after following Wu Haogu for half a month, she had been treated as a maid, and she was a little depressed. Wu Haogu didn't know how to talk to her today...... It seems that you want to be close.

"Are all the girls in your Gesu Pavilion yellow-headed and blue-eyed?"

Wu Haogu had already asked Guo Yaoshi about the race of the Luohan maid. According to Guo Yaoshi, Luohan is a female straight person in the Gesu Pavilion in the Tiezhou area, and this female straight is all yellow-haired and green-eyed, and her skin is also very white......

Guo Yaoshi seemed to be unintentional when he spoke, but Wu Haogu, the audience, was very intentional.

It turns out that there are a large number of female straight people in the Gesu Pavilion in Tiezhou! And Guo Yaoshi's family is a big family in Tiezhou...... His family can't have nothing to do with a straight woman, right? I don't know if this product has a female straight bloodline!

"Yes," replied the Luo Han maid, "our Gesu Pavilion Nuzhi is also known as the Yellow-headed Nuzhi, and most of them are slaves and maids. ”

The yellow-headed Jurchen turned out to be really Maozi...... Wu Haogu remembered that there was a record of the "yellow-headed Jurchen" in history, and this group of people seemed to be the strongest soldiers in the Jin army, known as the "hard army".

"Then are you a mature woman or a raw girl?"

"It's a mature woman," Luo Han said, "Our Gesu Pavilion girl is a familiar family. ”

"Acquaintance?"

"It's the household registration of the Great Liao Kingdom, and it's a mature woman. If you don't enter the household registration, you will give birth to a daughter. ”

It turns out that the straight girl and the mature woman are divided in this way. Wu Haogu originally thought that the birth of a girl and a mature woman were distinguished by different production methods. Those who farm the land are straight with mature women, and those who hunt or are nomadic are straight with daughters.

"Do you have a lot of straight women in the Gesu Pavilion?" Wu Haogu then inquired again.

"Many, many, many."

Wu Haogu frowned and asked, "How much is a lot?" ”

"More than a hundred!" The arhat replied earnestly.

"How much, exactly?" Wu Haogu was very dissatisfied.

Seeing that the master was angry, the arhat and maid hurriedly bowed down and said, "The master forgives the sins, and the slave and maid don't know what is more than a hundred......

Can't count?

It's a big girl, why don't you know it? Wu Haogu despised the national education of Da Liao in his heart, and then asked, "So...... Have you ever heard of the end of the face? ”

"I've heard of it," the Luo Han maid raised her head and showed a beautiful smile again, "The slave's surname is Wanyan." ”

Yes!

This girl is a terrible Jurchen Wanyan person!?

That's not right.,Isn't Wanyan a straight girl? Moreover, isn't the Gesu Pavilion on the Liaodong Peninsula? Wanyan should be mixing with the river.

"You're lying!" Wu Haogu said angrily.

Luo Han was a little confused, she didn't understand Wu Haogu's words, she was honest and never lied. However, she still bowed obediently: "The slave is wrong, please punish the master." ”

This can be punished? Wu Haogu shook his head: "You can't have the surname Wanyan." ”

"What the master said," the Luo Han maid thought for a moment and nodded approvingly, "The slave maid has no surname...... The slave maid is only from the Wanyan Department of the Gesu Pavilion, and after being sold to the Guo family, she has no surname. ”

Or is it Wanyan?

"Are there a lot of finishes?" Wu Haogu felt that he might be wrong to blame the Arhat maid.

"I don't know."

Don't know? Why don't you know what to ask?

Wu Haogu thought to himself: Is this girl really confused or pretending to be confused?

"Then do you know how you were sold to the Guo family?"

"You know, the slaves were sold because of the famine in the tribe."

"Do you have a famine there?" Wu Haogu asked, "Isn't there an abundance of grain on the Tokyo Road?" ”

"Grain is abundant on flat land, and the tribes from which slaves and maids come from are in the mountains and forests, and there is not much land to cultivate. They usually rely on fishing, hunting, and collecting medicine, and if they don't get much, they will go to famine. ”

In fact, this is the so-called "Jurchen fishing and hunting tribe", which is not completely fishing and hunting, but half fishing and hunting, half farming, and of course, animal husbandry. If it were to be completely fishing and hunting, the number of Jurchens would be too small, and they would not have the strength to cause the collapse of the Liao State.

"Then the Tiezhou Guo family is engaged in slave trading?" Wu Haogu inquired about the situation at Pharmacist Guo's house again.

"The Guo family has done a lot of business," Luo Hanwen thought about it carefully, "his family has a lot of land, and they can make a lot of grain, and they can also get iron tools, and then use the grain and iron tools to exchange things and slaves for the Nuzhi tribe, and then sell them to the Han people......"

"Wait," Wu Haogu interrupted, "Luohanwen, you said that the Nuzhi tribe has something to exchange with the Guo family?" ”

"Yes, furs, falcons, and herbs."

What Luo Han is talking about is actually a link in international trade in the 11th century—the Nüzhi people lived in the mountains and forests of Northeast Asia during this era, where furs, falcons, medicinal herbs, and Dongzhu were produced, all of which were important exports of the Liao State to the Song Dynasty.

Although the foreign trade of the Liao State was basically monopolized by the Han people, the Han people did not trade directly with women, but collected furs, falcons, medicinal herbs, Dongzhu and other items through the Bohai people, and then sold them to the Song Dynasty.

Because the Bohai people occupy the rich black land and have access to iron tools, they can use a large amount of grain and iron tools to trade with the female straight people, and also grab a lot of profits from it, so that the right surname of Bohai and some large clans that do not belong to the right surname can develop and maintain relative prosperity.

As for the female Naoto, she was able to get a lot of food to feed more people, and she was able to get iron tools to arm herself, so she slowly became stronger!

As for the Khitans, in order to obtain enough furs, falcons, medicinal herbs, Dongzhu and other items to balance the trade with the Great Song Dynasty, they were more indulgent to raw and mature women. Otherwise, there will be a large outflow of copper coins and gold and silver from Daliao.

Speaking of which, the rise of the Jurchens is also an economic issue to some extent.

In contrast, the days of the divigivers were much more miserable. They export nomadic products, which overlap with the Khitan people, and can be said to be competitors of the Khitans. Moreover, the most valuable horses in nomadic products are the export control commodities of Liao.

Therefore, in the Liao Dynasty, the Khitans would often use force against the divination people or other grassland tribes on the grassland, but they rarely fought against the female straight people on a large scale.

"I see," Wu Haogu thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Go get me the bath water." ”

"Whoa." The arhat maid answered, got up and left, and not long after leaving, footsteps sounded outside the door again.

"Is it an arhat?" Wu Haogu, who was eating, asked.

"Big official, it's so-and-so." Pharmacist Guo's voice came, "Tomorrow we can leave for the Great Song Dynasty." ”
