"Can I summarize what you mean like this?" Yun Zheng couldn't stand Ye Sou's strange narrative method and had to sum it up by himself. When Ye Sou nodded in agreement, he opened his mouth and said.
"There is a war in Cochin and the people have been displaced. Many people have gone into the forest to find food. There are more and more people like this. Food is scarce in the forest. Only you Khmer people are richer, so people are looking for trouble with you.
You couldn't keep the weapons you collected before, so you exchanged them for food. Then you couldn't keep the food you exchanged, so you planned to take the food with you to live in the Song Dynasty.
As a result, that old man Yu Jing refused to agree, and he couldn't help but reveal the news about Tokyo's food shortage to you, and asked you to come to Tokyo to find me to see if there is any chance, right? You Khmers can be considered a strong race.
Ah, how did you get to this point?"
The old man sighed and said: "Marquis Yun, help me. People who have no food have green eyes. The Khmer people have no way to fight with them. If we win, at most we will help them reduce the number of people eating. They have won."
, whether it is the Khmer people who died in the war or the Khmer people who were captured alive, they will become food. Can you tell me, how to fight such a war?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The soft is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of life. This truth has never been easy through the ages! Just tell me directly, what do you want? I always feel that you come with a powerful purpose.
You Khmers don't know how to farm, you only know how to hunt, and I'm afraid you are the only one who knows how to do business. If you die, your people will starve to death, so tell me your plan."
Ye Sou nodded and said: "That's true, so I want to discuss with Yu Jing about selling the dilapidated Wuchao City to my tribe as a place to live. The Song people can't hold on to that city, and half of the city wall has collapsed.
The Song garrison in Wuchao City has retreated to the Canyon Fortress, which is a newly built fortress by Yu Jing, and many of the stones on it were taken from Wuchao City."
Yu Jing's Guangnan Army evacuated Wuchao City. Yun Zheng knew about it. The construction of the canyon fortress came from Yun Zheng's suggestion. I don't know what Nong Zhigao planned back then. In order to connect the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, he actually planned to build the canyon fortress.
Wuchao City was built at the lowest point, and there are heavy rains in Guangnan. Such a city is destined to be a tragedy. It is washed away by flash floods all day long, and even the strongest city cannot stand for a long time.
Last autumn, an unprecedented flash flood collapsed the northern wall of Wuchao City. Yu Jing wrote a letter saying that there was almost no value in rebuilding it, so he built a fortress at the mouth of the canyon.
"You plan to rebuild Wuchao City? Can you afford it?"
Ye Sou shook his head and said: "Of course we can't afford to build it, but why should we build it? The Song Dynasty is richer than us, so naturally it will not come to rob us. As long as the northern city wall is still there and the cableway is still there, we can stop those hungry people.
Not only can the Jiaozhi people make a living in the forest, but they can also maintain a passage to make money there. All goods entering and leaving Guangyuan will definitely pass through Wuchao City. Since the army passed through the Linmang Passage, that road has been completely
It has become a business path..."
Yun Zheng looked at Ye Sou suspiciously, and he actually saw the shadow of the fat Cui Da on Ye Sou's face. Since Wu Shengjun was disbanded, Cui Da's logistics camp has turned into a huge business, continuing to serve Wu Shengjun.
The generals in the department seek welfare, and Yun Zheng naturally occupies the majority of them. Now hearing Ye Sou say this, Yun Zheng completely understands why Ye Sou wants to give food to him. Without the support of merchants in Shu, Ye Sou would
What ability is there to transport 30 ships of rice and grain to Tokyo? Not counting losses, the shipping fee alone exceeds the value of the grain. It is not the ruined Wuchao City that Ye Sou wants at all, but Cui Da and others in Shu.
Merchants want this trade road connecting Jiaozhi!
Wuchao City has been abandoned, and even the city is still outside the borders of the Song Dynasty. If the wild old man wants that city, just go and capture it. Of course, this is under the premise that the Guangnan Army of the Song Dynasty does not drive them away.
What these people want is their own endorsement. The generals and colonels of the Guangnan Army are all their subordinates. As long as they say hello, no one will look for trouble with them.
This business road worth tens of thousands of gold will become the world of merchants. Yun Zheng can imagine how prosperous and dark that city will be in the future...
This city will be a vampire attached to the country of Jiaozhi. It will never give up until it drains the last drop of blood from Jiaozhi in the war. Now I understand why it was Ye Sou who came to find me and not Cui Da. This bastard is celebrating the New Year.
When Li came, he kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word to himself. He wanted to be a thief, but he didn't want to bear the reputation of being a thief! In this way, even if there was trouble, it would only be between the Khmer and the Cochin people.
The trouble has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. This is simply a replica of the Nong Zhigao incident!
Yun Zheng shook his head and sighed: "The plot is big!"
Ye Sou chuckled and said, "I wonder if Marquis Yun is willing to end this. Without you as the backbone, no one will be able to benefit from it."
"How much profit can I make?"
"Forty percent! You know, no one dares to take your share!"
"Tell Cui Da and the others that I want at least 50%! This 50% is just the income of Wuchao City, and I will not interfere with other incomes!"
Seeing Yun Zheng handing him a green jade pendant, Ye Sou took it, put it in his arms, then waved to Yun Zheng and said, "Go to bed, I'm going to read a book."
Yun Zheng returned to the back house and opened the door of his room, and found two pregnant women lying on his bed. Seeing that he had come in, they both poked their heads out of the tent to take a look. They heard the drumbeat outside and were already two.
Damn it, the two women were not asleep, and there was not a single maid in the house to serve them.
Sitting at the round table and taking a sip of tea, Yun Zheng paused and said: "In the future, you should stay less involved in matters in the south. Do you think that if you do something, it will have nothing to do with me? How childish! Didn't they find me in the end?
Ask for endorsement.
The Yun family has enough money, there is no need to accumulate more. I will use the proceeds from the south to build an army. The young army cannot be successful without a stable source of income. I will instruct Hua Niang to do these things and not use the family's account books."
Seeing that their husband was angry, the two women immediately retracted their heads into the tent and muttered for a while. Lu Qingqing said sarcastically: "Husband, it is true that we have crossed paths. Didn't Cui Da bring his wife Wang with him during the Chinese New Year?"
Did you come here? It was discussed between Wang and me. I thought it was an ordinary business. At that time, you were busy discussing military strategy with Di Shuai, so I didn’t tell you."
"A woman's opinion! What an ordinary business, this is simply a noose hanging on the throat of the country of Cochin. The country of Cochin is in constant war, and princes from all over the country are swarming. At this time, it is the best opportunity to make a fortune while the country is struggling.
It is said that it is better to be a peace dog than to be a person in troubled times. The same goes for objects. Treasures will turn into mud during wars. Such wealth is stained with blood. It is unlucky for the Yun family to use it. It is very suitable to use it in the army, so
I won't let this money and food go into the Yun family's account books. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's just that the family is not suitable for getting involved in these things."
Yun Zheng realized that he was not suitable to be the master of the family. If he were the emperor, he would definitely be a coward. He would definitely kill off all the most loyal ministers, leaving only sycophants.
The two big-bellied women just came over and rubbed their small bellies against themselves. They groaned a few times, and all their plans to teach their wives a lesson suddenly disappeared.
The man who was being flirted with was tall and strong, but he had no way to express himself. He lay upright on the bed and barely fell asleep until the sky turned white.
Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan got up very early. Today was a day for the Yun family to be proud and proud. The tough Lu Qingqing went to Yun Er and Su Shi's room early in the morning to dig these three guys out from the quilt.
, ignoring their wails, he drove the carriage and left the house in a hurry. Today, I must show the wisdom of the Yun family to all the idiots in Kaifeng!
He came out too early and the city gates were not opened. The city gate officials showed out the grandeur of Madam Gaoming and ignored him. The tough general of the Yun family wanted to beat the city gate officials who stood up and taunted his wife, but Lu Qingqing stopped him.
, the Yun family's motorcade was waiting at the city gate.
A green oil-scented car slowly stopped behind the Yun family's motorcade. A girl in her teens walked up to the front of the house and saluted and asked, "Is this the motorcade of the Marquis Wenxin's mansion?"
The general was angry, but he couldn't vent his anger on a girl, so he casually said: "That's right, there is my wife in the car."
The girl respectfully said again: "Please tell the general, please tell Fu Bi's wife Yan to see Mrs. Lu."
When Lu Qingqing heard that Fu Bi's wife wanted to see him, he was very surprised. The meeting between Dao and Zuo only required a few words of greeting, so why was it so solemn? However, the Yan family should not be underestimated. Her father was the former Prime Minister Yan Shu.
My husband, Fu Bi, is also an important minister. Although he is now unlucky in Qinzhou, he is not a person who can be bullied. My husband and Fu Bi had a bad time in Fengxiang Mansion. Why did we come to the meeting place now?
The generals immediately surrounded an open space with a blue curtain at the city gate, arranged simple tables and chairs, prepared tea, and then told the girl that Madam invited Madam Yan to drink tea!
The green car drove over slowly. Two rows of servants and maids formed a human wall blocking both sides of the car. Lu Qingqing stood at the opening of the curtain to greet him. He saw a woman in Tsing Yi getting out of the car. She was not very old.
, but in his thirties, with no makeup on his face, and his black hair tied with a silver hairpin, even though he is clothed in commoner clothes, the aura of wealth between his eyebrows cannot be concealed no matter what.
Yan Shu lived a wealthy life. Not only were his poems praised as "rich poems", Lu Qingqing couldn't help but think of her husband's evaluation of Yan Shu, "Yan Shu accounts for eight percent of the world's wealth."
The capital, not to mention Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Kong Daofu, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu all became famous officials of the Song Dynasty because of his introduction.
Yan is the legitimate daughter of Yan Shu. Since she is invited to see you, she cannot be treated lightly in any way. Lu Qingqing took two steps forward to greet Yan and said with a smile: "Welcoming an honored guest on the edge of the road, Lu Qingqing is extremely rude!" (To be continued!)
