"What! Ding Wu was captured by the Song people!" Ziqi was shocked.

Although Dingwu was greedy and domineering, he was Ziqi's confidant.

"Yes, leader, the Song people killed many of us." The man who escaped briefly explained the situation at that time.

Of course, in their words, the reason for the conflict was that the other party was arrogant and unreasonable and refused to accept the price they had set on the spot.

This angered all the people from Qi State, so the two sides started fighting.

A Wei stood up and said: "Father, the Song people are really going too far. We keep transporting horses and tea for them. They kill our people if they say they will kill us. If we don't get justice this time, how will we be able to punish the people below in the future?"

Explain!"

“How do you want justice?”

"Gather a group of people immediately and go to Hengshan Village!"

"Did you know that news came from Dali Kingdom that Gao Liangcheng has been escorted to the capital of the Song Dynasty?"

"Gao Liangcheng?" A Wei was shocked.

Ah Wei didn't even take Duan Zhengyan seriously, but he never dared not take Gao Liangcheng seriously.

The Wuman tribes rebelled against the Dali Kingdom and attacked the eastern capital of the Dali Kingdom. The Dali army was retreating steadily. It was Gao Liangcheng who stepped forward to turn the tide and change the entire war situation.

These Wuman tribes are naturally the people from Qi Kingdom in front of them.

They were Gao Liangcheng's defeated generals, and they hated and feared Gao Liangcheng.

However, now that they heard that Gao Liangcheng was escorted to the capital of the Song Dynasty, how could everyone not be shocked?

Death on the battlefield and being escorted to the enemy's capital are two completely different things.

Death on the battlefield may have been caused by a temporary misjudgment during the battle.

But being escorted to the enemy's capital meant total defeat and giving up resistance.

"Even Gao Liangcheng surrendered, what can we do to fight the Song Dynasty?" Ziqi coughed twice and sighed, "It has been thirty-four years since I raised troops to establish a country, and our national strength has increased the fastest.

, Indeed, in recent years, just because the Song Dynasty people opened a gambling market in Hengshan Village, we can buy horses in Dali and sell horses and tea to Hengshan Village to make money."

This comes from Qi State, a very strange small country in ancient China.

It was sandwiched between Dali and the Song Dynasty. Dali produced horses and tea, and the Song Dynasty needed horses and tea, so he resold them in the middle to earn the price difference.

Historically, he also played this way and made a lot of money.

A Wei asked: "What should we do now?"

"Go to Hengshan Village and talk to the Song people." Ziqi said, "I heard that the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty was a very powerful monarch. He would not allow anyone to ride on the head of the Song Dynasty. We

If you want to make money, you have to be polite."

"How polite, now those Song people don't follow the rules when buying and selling. They change the price they agreed on on the spot!"

"Then both parties will agree on a price, and they are not allowed to change it at will in the future."

A Wei sighed and said, "Yes, I'll take a trip right away."

In late May, A Wei arrived at Hengshan Village and met Xie Qian.

More than 200 people from Ziqi Kingdom died in the last conflict. This was the first time since the Song Dynasty and Ziqi Kingdom started trading.

In the past few years, some people from Qi State have been extremely arrogant and domineering in Hengshan Village, and Guangnan West Road has turned a blind eye.

But this time, Jie Qian struck a cruel blow.

When A Wei arrived, he said very rudely: "We have always supported the Song Dynasty in the past, but the Song Dynasty killed so many of us. How should you explain this matter?"

Zhang An said: "It was your people who made the move first."

"But your people suddenly changed their minds and were unwilling to trade at the previous price."

Zhang An told Jie Qian what A Wei said.

Jie Qian said: "Business transactions are voluntary. They are unwilling to trade at the previous price, which means that the previous price was too high. You have a caravan to give a lower price. If everyone is like you, if they are not satisfied, they will kill people.

How can we sit down for a long time after this transaction?"

The only time I was speechless.

But he still forced himself to bite the bullet and said: "If you can't give an explanation, we will stop continuing to transport horses and tea."

Xie Qian said: "You don't need to make a decision. I have already ordered that people from the Qi Kingdom are temporarily not allowed to enter the Hengshanzhai gambling venue."

Ah Wei was immediately shocked. He actually just wanted to put pressure on Jie Qian and take the opportunity to ask for a price.

Unexpectedly, the other party would not give me this chance at all.

"Don't you need horses?"

"Horses are bought by people. If the people are gone, what do we need the horses for?"

Ah Weishi didn't even know how to refute.

If Hengshan Village really does not allow people from Qi State to enter, Zi Qi State will suffer great losses.

You know, since Qi State does not cultivate land and has no mines at home, why can it stand between the Song Dynasty and Dali?

Its way of survival is the middleman.

In China, most people are extremely rich.

Why?

It’s not just relying on the Song Dynasty as its financial backer.

Doing business with the funder, but still dare to attack the funder?

Is there such a thing in the world?

Of course!

For example, the Qing Dynasty.

But the current Song Dynasty is not at the mercy of others.

Ziqi himself knew him very well, so he sent his son to speak the good words clearly.

A Wei said on the spot: "Please calm down, we did something wrong."

Jie Qian said nothing.

After a moment of silence, A Wei said: "Whatever Shangguan wants, you might as well make a condition."

Xie Qian said: "We must ensure that we are not allowed to do anything indiscriminately in the future."

"Okay! Absolutely guaranteed!"

"Must use handover money!"

"Um?"

"This commander said that from now on, you must use the banknotes to make transactions at the Hengshanzhai trading market!"

"Hand over the money?"

Jie Qian took out a banknote worth 10 Wen from his arms, and Zhang An handed it to A Wei.

"This is the currency currently circulating in our Song Dynasty. Use this to do business with us in the future, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter Hengshan Village again."

Obviously, Xie Qian took advantage of this opportunity and planned to get the banknotes to Ziqi Country.

After paying the money and getting it from Qi State, the Song Dynasty would buy horses and tea here. That would really be...

Of course A Wei didn't understand the financial knowledge involved. He simply thought that the paper was easy to damage.

"If it breaks, you can trade it in for a new one at the bank in Hengshanzhai." Xie Qian seemed to have guessed his concerns.

"But we bought some horses from Dali. They..."

"They are also paying with banknotes now."

"They use it too?"

"Yes." Jie Qian said, "I have given you the opportunity. It depends on you whether you want to seize it or not."

"Okay, I promise you."

Xie Qian said: "Don't rush to agree, you have to discuss it with your king, right?"

A Wei said: "No, I can decide this matter."

Zhang An said in Chinese on the side: "Old King Ziqi is very old and may not live for more than two years. Many powers have been handed over to his son."
