Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 168 Cooperation!Three more!
It's impossible, right?
Wu Zhi looked suspiciously.

If the Jurchen envoy came to discuss and attack Liao with Song.

Then the Jurchen tribe will soon turn around and attack the Song Dynasty, which will lead to the shame of Jingkang later.

But it was just a messenger, not necessarily to discuss with the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao Kingdom.

No matter what, Wu Zhi has to find out tomorrow.

Right now his army is still in drill, if there is a real fight, many things are not ready.Inevitably some haste.

the next day.

Wu Zhi went to court early.

Arranged by civil and military officials.

Not long after, a Jurchen envoy came from outside the hall.

This person reported his name, also sent some congratulatory gifts, and then told his purpose of coming.

Wu Zhi listened quietly beside him.

Wu Zhi was a little surprised, because it wasn't about the joint attack on Liao.

But the Jurchens saw the prosperity of the Central Plains and wanted to establish more trade cooperation with them.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi's eyes lit up.

If this is the case, it is a good opportunity for Da Song to develop, and Wu Zhi can also consolidate the strength of the Forbidden Army.Make powerful crossbows, enrich food, sweet potatoes, etc.

Xinyan will also make a lot of money, filling the treasury and his pocket.

Anyway, it is good for Wu Zhi's secret development.

After the Jurchen envoy went down.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty began to discuss.

Some people suggested that they could cooperate, while others thought that they could not.

At this time, Wu Zhi stood up: "Your Majesty, I believe that I can cooperate with the Jurchen clan!"

"Wu Taiwei, what's your opinion?"

Song Huizong looked at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi: "The Jurchens have a lot of ores and war horses, we can exchange them. The Commerce Department just managed by Wei Chen is producing a lot of new salt, colored glaze, and even the hometown has prepared new grains, which can just be planted and sold to the Jurchens! "

"If His Majesty agrees, the trade between the Jurchen clan and Da Song will be handed over to Weichen, so as to ensure that Da Song can earn more money."

"We can also establish a trading market with them through sea transportation, and get a lot of benefits from it! Enrich the treasury!"

Wu Zhi's words are still very important.

Song Huizong trusted Wu Zhi's opinions.

Just now the courtiers were hesitant to object to him, but now he made a decision immediately after hearing what Wu Zhi said.

Song Huizong: "I agree, I will leave everything to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhi was overjoyed.

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

In this way, he will soon become rich.

But trade is not a short-term thing.

Wu Zhi still needs to prepare.

The Jurchen envoy was also very happy after receiving the news, so he went back.

for the rest of the time.

While training the imperial army, Wu Zhi recruited a large number of people to produce colored glaze and refined salt.

And of course, tea.

Tea already existed in the Song Dynasty, but Wu Zhi purchased new good tea recipes in the system, and all different types were produced.

He first sold it to the territory of the Song Dynasty through the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

Money poured into the national treasury and Wu Zhi's personal pocket...

During this time, Wu Zhi was very busy.

He also received Fan Yan, Zhu Bo and the county magistrate, and promoted them all to official positions, one level higher than before.

They stay by their side to help with business matters.

And Fan Yan and the others also mentioned a person named Cao Heng to Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi just remembered.

Since he intends to come, let him come.

He had met Cao Heng before, so he was not a stranger.

So he recruited Cao Heng, and these people from Yanggu County became Wu Zhi's right-hand man.

Someone directs and helps to share, and he relaxes a bit.

When Cao Heng came, Wu Zhi asked him to bring all the sweet potatoes and peppers from his hometown.

The residence of the Department of Commerce.

Seeing the beautiful sweet potatoes and peppers all over the floor, Wu Zhi became more confident.

The growth is not bad, relatively plump, and the peppers are red and spicy enough.

After that, he put all these things into the fields around Bianjing.

Wu Zhi had a lot of land in Bianjing, and he became a senior official of the second rank. Many people gave gifts, and the fertile land under his hands was enough for production.

But this is not enough, Wu Zhi also mobilized the people of Bianjing to plant together.

When the time comes he will buy it.

So the people are also happy.

Not only that, Wu Zhi also planted a kind of god rice.

That is Chaoyouqian Rice.

This is Academician Yuan Longping's super excellent thousand super, which can reach a yield of about 2000 catties per mu.

Food is very important. When wars come, food supplies can become a strong backing.

Of course, the army must also be strong.Indispensable.

In the Song Dynasty, generally speaking, the yield per mu was not bad, and the average grain yield on the earth was six to seven hundred catties per mu.

But Chaoyou Qianhao can increase the output of ordinary fertile land to two thousand catties.

If this kind of rice seedlings are planted in the Song Dynasty, the grain will skyrocket within half a year, and the Song Dynasty will become more prosperous and stronger.

Wu Zhi will also earn more.

He purchased a large number of such rice seedlings in his system.

Then teach those people some ways to pay attention, and let them plant it.

In short, Wu Zhi's series of operations shocked the people in the business department...

As time passed slowly.

Peppers and sweet potatoes have come out in large quantities, and rice still needs some time.But the rice is not sold outside, so it doesn't matter.

In fact, peppers and sweet potatoes take several months to mature.

But Wu Zhi is hanging on the wall, this is not a problem.

He bought some ripening things in the system to make it grow faster, and it won't take that long, but the taste and spiciness of the seeds are not a problem.

Subsequently, the trade between the Song Dynasty and the Jurchen tribe has been opened up on a large scale.

The first one is tea and glass, peppers, and sweet potatoes.

When a large area of ​​tea reached the Jurchen people, the Jurchen people found that the tea was very magical and tasted good, and they liked it very much.

After peppers and sweet potatoes came to the Jurchen people, they even aroused the surprise of the Jurchen people.

Tasted sweet potato and chili.

The more you eat, the better it tastes.

In the Song Dynasty, Wuzhi's sweet potatoes and peppers were also on sale.

This fresh thing has had a great impact on the common people, and many people find that chili is really a good thing.

And sweet potatoes are also very sweet.It is easy to fill up and has a long storage time.

Due to the trade between the two countries for a period of time, the Jurchen sent another envoy.

This time it was the fifth son of the Jurchen emperor, Wanyan Zongjun.

It doesn't look very big, it looks like a young man, but it is very burly.

Originally, someone else should have come, but Wanyan Zongjun was very curious about Song Dynasty and wanted to see it for himself.

He came by sea, passed through several big cities after landing, and when he came to Bianjing, the first person he came to see was Wu Zhi.

Because Wu Zhi is in charge of the trade between the two countries.

In the Department of Commerce's mansion, Wu Zhi stared at Wanyan Zongjun.

This person also looked at Wu Zhi.

After a short exchange, Wanyan Zongjun said: "Wu Taiwei, I have seen the prosperity of the Song Dynasty along the way, and now I think about it, and I am yearning for it. It would be great if our Jurchen clan is as vast and prosperous as the Song Dynasty!"

When Wanyan Zongjun said this, Wu Zhi saw a trace of greed in his eyes.

This is Yan Zongjun, Wu Zhi knows.

The fifth son of Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom, this guy failed to inherit the throne.

However, his son became the third emperor of the Jin Kingdom.

After Wanyan Aguda died, his son did not succeed to the throne. There is no such tradition in their side.

At that time, although the Jin Dynasty gained the upper hand in fighting against the Khitan and Liao Kingdom, after all, Khitan, as a great empire that had been established for more than a hundred years, had more mature struggle experience than the Jin Dynasty.

A little carelessness for the Jin Dynasty is likely to lead to Khitan's comeback.

Therefore, the Jurchen tribe still adheres to the concept that whoever is strong is the king, and Wanyan Aguda also knows that if his son succeeds to the throne, the Jurchen tribe may be doomed.

Jin Taizu's younger brother, Wanyan Sheng, had far higher prestige in the Jurchen ministries and his own abilities than his own sons.

Therefore, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda chose his younger brother Wanyan Sheng to succeed him.

But the son of Wanyan Zongjun in front of him later became the third emperor.

Wu Zhi said a few words casually, and then got into the topic.

Wanyan Zongjun came here this time to purchase a large amount of tea and pepper.

He can sell them there.

Wu Zhi shipped the goods, and they paid for it, but Wu Zhi only needed a small amount of money, and the Jurchens had to exchange the rest with minerals.

The Jurchens have a lot of minerals, and Wu Zhi can exchange some of them from them, and then use his own technology to make weapons and crossbows.

now.

Wu Zhi recommended new tea leaves to Wanyan Zongjun. He tasted the tea, and after soaking it, his eyes lit up: "The tea leaves of your Great Song Dynasty are indeed unique. I also like that pepper very much."

"I still have something new!" Wu Zhi smiled, and suddenly took a jar, and when he opened it, there was white refined salt inside.

Salt is a thing, eating without salt is tasteless at all, food is the most important thing for people, including the taste of vegetables in daily life.

And people who don't eat salt will be bored.

So salt is what everyone needs.

And no matter where the salt is not pure, the refined salt produced by Wuzhi is in great demand in the market.

Refined salt not only looks innocent, but also very delicate.

"This is the fine salt made by us in the Song Dynasty." Wu Zhi said, "Your Jurchens don't have such delicate salt, right?"

Wanyan Zongjun put his right fingers together and tried it in his mouth, and found that there were no impurities in the salt and it melted in his mouth. It was indeed good salt.

My heart was also shaken, because they didn't have such delicate salt over there.

If you can buy in large quantities and sell them to the people.

This is also a double benefit thing.

Wanyan Zongjun asked, "How much is this refined salt?"

Wu Zhi: "As much as you want, I will pay!"
