"It's a little tricky?" Wang Ju muttered. ［

This ban has to be banned for at least two or three years, and of course, it can be exchanged for sporadic horses, but the number is small and the price is expensive, so it is not worth it.

The other channel, the security forces, is not good.

Although horses can still be seen in the market, most of them are Khitan horses that were exchanged for green salt from the Jiashan side of the Liao State in Western Xia. Khitan horses are short and cheap, but the Xixia people sell them as Xixia horses, in fact, they don't treat them as Xixia horses, the price is also high, there is a mutual market, but the two sides have to pay taxes for back and forth transactions, and this tax must also be spread to the horses. can get good horses, but the number will not be large, and maybe Cheng Kan will be detained.

Li Liangzuo is getting more and more wrong, Cheng Kan is not worried?

He also needed cavalry, and he also needed war horses.

Wang Ju thought for a long time and said, "It's not a big deal, there is still a way." You send someone to Weizhou to contact the Tibetan people. ”

The Western Xia obtained the Western Envoy City, which not only strategically posed a strict threat to the Song Dynasty, but also circulated the private salt to Qinfeng Road. The first is to impact the private salt, and the second is to reduce the expenses of the imperial court. However, when the cheaper green salt of Western Xia arrived in the Western Envoy City, this strategy also failed.

That's the idea that Wang Ju hit.

The liquor system of the Song Dynasty doomed the soju to be difficult to sell across the border. can cross the border, then Wang Ju will be a high-ranking official, and everyone will not dare to offend. Then if the border is crossed, the government will turn a blind eye, and the merchant groups in various places will be helpless.

But the Tibetan people brought some wine back to their tribe, and no one dared to speak.

Therefore, Wang Ju asked Zhu Qing to send someone to bring some wine to some familiar tribes in Qin and Wei, if they were interested. Let them take the horses with them. to the place where Pengyuan County and Jingzhou meet.

This kind of horse change is very troublesome. And far away, far away means high price.

However, the gap of horses is not large, and the Tibetan horses are generally very tall, maybe the Khitan is more able to bear hardships and stand hard work, which is conducive to long-distance travel, but this is not needed for the Song army, is it possible that the Song Dynasty still has the ambition of the Han, Tang, Yuan and Qing dynasties, and expeditions to the Western Regions and Central Asia? Therefore, the Tubo horse and the Hetao horse were the most suitable for the Song army at the moment. Tall, explosive impact, fast sprint in short bursts.

"That will take a long time."

"It doesn't matter, the current Parchie Army's riding skills are not high, that is, most of the original Porogues still use pack horses for training. Once they get used to it, it will take at least a few months. At that time, it should not be difficult to change only 200 horses. Actually, this may still be a good thing, after all, you made an agreement with Wu Yi to let him run the shochu alone. The main reason for this agreement was to get the horse and lead him. But now the horse is not nervous. There was no need for that agreement. However, for the sake of integrity, you have to obey. Now he was beheaded by the Western Xia officers and soldiers. You're just right, let's see if you can open up the trade route of the security army. To expand sales, I want to make more money as soon as possible. By the way, is there any private business in Tumen and Qingjian City? ”

"Yes, but not on the same scale."

"Of course, once the mutual market is opened, although it pays taxes, there is no risk or bribery, and the scale will naturally shrink. But if there is, you can also think of a way from those two private business routes. The sales of this wine expanded to the entire South Loop area. ”

"It works," Zhu Qing said.

After finishing his business, Wang Ju looked at Zhu Jun and asked, "Erlang, the injury is healed." ”

"Ming Gong."

"Silly you," Wang Ju laughed, hugged him and said: "What Ming Gong is not public, call me Xiaolang, really can't call me Da Niuzi, if you want to put Sven, call me Zi'an." ”

"Then Zi'an."

"Have you healed from your injuries?"

"Good morning."

"It's better than this, if you don't dislike it, move to me first, and do something for me by the way."

"Okay."

"What are you doing, I haven't thanked Da Lang yet." Zhu Qing said on the side. This is not to help Wang Ju do things, what can the second young master do for Wang Ju, but to put it by Wang Ju's side to sharpen it personally.

"Steward Zhu, don't, I am friends with Erlang, how can I be restrained because of the small difference in status. Besides, I was just a poor boy at the beginning, and Dong Weng and Erlang didn't look down on me. Besides, I'm not just a small county. ”

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he shouted at Yelong's wife: "Aunt Wang, you go buy a leg of mutton, see if there are any good dishes, and buy it back by the way, Erlang is here today, we have to feast." ”

Wang Ju only changed the names of the two boys of Yelong Basheng, and did not change the name of Yelong Basheng, but Yelong Basheng's daughter-in-law also had to change her Han surname and surname Wang. This is a spicy woman, and the wild dragon is instigated, so she has to be left to her.

But after a while, after the second eldest son got married, he brought his little daughter-in-law back from his hometown, and the Wang family became even more popular. By next year, 6 Ping will also get married. Maybe there will be more and more people in the Wang family in the future.

Zhong'er makes tea.

Zhu Jun looked at Zhong Er curiously, Zhong Er had been in the Wang family for a long time, and he was not afraid of people, twisted his huge body and said, "Don't look at me, Ming Gong likes it, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Jun had no choice but to look at Wang Ju strangely, thinking, my brother's taste is very heavy, why are you heavier than my brother's taste?

Wang Ju laughed and said, "Don't underestimate Zhong'er, many people propose to her." ”

"Yes." Zhong'er said proudly.

There are people who propose relatives, most of them are Tibetan people, they have different aesthetic views, and they think that they are the maidservants that the county fancies, so can it be bad?

After a while, the Wang family came back with a lot of meat, and returned to Nianglang to bury his daughter-in-law, Li Sangou's wife, and Zhong'er went to cook together. Because there were more people and more women, the woman who had been invited quit.

In fact, it is just ordinary meat, Wang Ju's life is not simple, but it has nothing to do with luxury.

At least compared to many scholars, I don't know how much better.

Wang Ju also asked Yelong Basheng and Gui Nianglang to buy some wine and braised vegetables, and gave them to the people who pulled the carts, although it was not yet time for the heavy snow to close the door, but the road was more difficult and difficult, and everyone was bitter.

Zhu Jun asked curiously about the three battles.

Wang Ju waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, even if you win those three battles, it's not very glorious." ”

"Why?"

"Our officers and soldiers are cowardly and dare not fight. They are very arrogant. If you are arrogant, you will be careless. Moreover, except for the second battle, the other two battles have an advantage in our forces, the enemy is an arrogant soldier, and our army is a tragic soldier. The enemy is careless, we carefully arrange, how can we not win? But the next time it won't be so easy. ”

"Still fighting?"

"The Tibetan people are very vindictive."

Mrs. Li Sangou happened to come out of the kitchen and said, "But we are more committed to it. ”

Dare to be kind, now half of the Wang family is a fanzi.

"That must not have been. Aunt Sangou, if you people renew your commitments, why did Western Xia repeatedly betray the peace between the two countries? ”

"He is a shameless Tuoba family, can't he represent the entire Fanzi?"

But Aunt Sangou didn't say yes, there may be eternal friendship between countries? The Central Plains is rich and strong, so let's tie it up together, so that we can get some benefits, and if we are weak, we will come directly to bite it.

This is the truth between countries.

Just like Song Liao. The Liao State may not really abide by its promises, and there is still a phenomenon of grass valley fighting at the border. During the Song-Xia War, the Liao State extorted and raised the annual tribute to 500,000. When Wang Shao conquered the west, the Liao State extorted some of the disputed borders.

So in the end, Zhao Ji tore up the peace treaty, and the Song Dynasty cannot be blamed alone, and the Liao State also bears part of the responsibility. It's just that the Song Dynasty fooled the strength of the Jin people, and failed to grasp the strategic priorities.

The north wind howled, and the house was full of laughter.

This is the most idle period of time when Wang Ju came to Huachi County.

But the next day, Wang Ju went to Huanzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, a load of firewood could be sold for a hundred yuan, which was a bit expensive, but the price was also high. This manpower alone is worth fifty or sixty dollars.

An ordinary load of charcoal is generally worth four or five hundred yuan, five or six hundred yuan, after all, charcoal has to bake firewood, and the amount is reduced.

Coal was also used, and a load of coal was generally worth three or four hundred yuan. The main reason is that the transportation cost is too high and the mining technology is backward. The same is true for edible oil, which was common to lamp oil in the Song Dynasty, and generally cost thirty or forty yuan per catty. A pound of nobles can reach a hundred Wen.

Compared with the price of rice cloth, it is a bit high.

Productivity and production technology and efficiency as a result.

Gyeongju has coal resources, but mainly in Huanju. I don't know much about this Wang Ju, but I only heard about the coal produced in Huanzhou. In fact, the entire northwest is very rich in coal resources, but in this era, only those open-pit mines or shallow mines can be mined and explored, and deep mines are looking forward to the ocean and sighing.

Wang Ju sent people to look for it, and found a small coal mine behind a small Fan village, and the Fan people were also mining, but the efficiency was low, and they mined it indiscriminately, in exchange for a few dollars, or used it themselves in winter.

Wang Ju bought it with money and brought gunpowder.

When the snow began to fall, Wang Ju took the prisoners of war with him, mined the coal, transported it out of the pit, and then transported it back to the banks of the Huachi River when the river melted next year.

Wang Ju went down to the pit to take a look, and these prisoners of war were tossed and turned out to be human, but he still said: "What are you grinding, do your work." ”

What kind of humanitarianism, to hell with it, that is to encourage them to come to the Song Dynasty more next time to do a little bad thing.

Therefore, Wang Ju was ruthless, and he led two riots, which were brutally suppressed by officers and soldiers. There is another reason for this, these prisoners of war have not been left for a long time, and as soon as the New Year's Day arrives, the Western Xia envoys go to the capital, and most of these prisoners of war will be released. Wang Ju obviously knew that he didn't dare to kill him, not to mention the Song Dynasty, that is, Xue Rengui killed the Tiele people that time, and he was also sad in the Tang Dynasty.

So be ruthless, even if you go back, let them have a shadow psychologically, don't think that the Song Dynasty is really a group of fat rabbits, let them be slaughtered.

Hao Dutou, who was guarding the prisoners of war, asked: "Some merchants came to the cities of Huanju and Gyeongju and asked if the charcoal was sold. ”

"Sell, why don't you sell, this is to help the poor and strengthen the army, as long as the price is reasonable, you can sell it." Wang Ju said: "But Hao Dutou, this money will be used to equip the brothers with armor and weapons in the future." ”

"Don't worry, if I am greedy for a copper, I will have no asshole when I give birth to a son in the future."

"You don't have children yet?"

"I was sent to the northwest not long after I got married, and my mother-in-law is not angry, so she has no children yet."

"Do it well, you have also made a contribution this time, even if you return to Beijing, it will be very glorious."

"That's," Hao Du replied with his head puffed out. This is confidence, after the first battle, not only sharpened everyone's actual combat experience, but also improved everyone's confidence, no longer like before, facing the enemy, only knowing how to die sadly.

Wang Ju looked at it and went back.

Winter is getting deeper day by day, but the capital is starting to be lively again. (To be continued!)
