Chapter 1368

Today, this is Tong Guan's 15th trip to sea as the captain, and his goal is the mouth of the great river on the east side of the Liaodong Peninsula in the north.

It took several days for three ships with [-] materials and five ships with [-] materials, and finally saw the coastline in the distance. The hand quickly gave the answer.

The estuary was peaceful and there was nothing unusual. Tong Guan gave an order, and with his flagship as the leader, he set off again and slowly entered the gentle river, headed northward against the current, and walked for nearly two days. , Only then did I see a hidden destination surrounded by mountains and dense forests, only a small open space near the river bank, and a simple pier.

The yellow-green colored flag representing safety is still hanging high, and on the pier, someone is waving enthusiastically towards this side...

Seeing this scene, Tong Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This trip by sea finally arrived at the destination safely.

After all, the trade between Wanhong Trading Company and the women's straight tribes has always been low-key and concealed. It is precisely because of this kind of caution that the Liao people have not noticed that the Song State has been He is conducting secret transactions with the female straight tribes.

As the ship slowly docked at the pier, Tong Guan not only saw the leader of the guard, but also another acquaintance Di Gubao whom he had met twice.

The first time was in Bianliang, Tokyo, the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, and the second time, when he was learning sailing, he came here once with a ship on a long voyage, and met this big girl of the Women's Straight Alliance. guy.

"My good brother, I didn't expect to meet you today. That's really great. A few days ago, the wind and waves here have been very strong. I thought you would be late." Di Gubao looked at this Several majestic ships opened their arms towards Tong Guan who was the first to get off the ship.

And Tong Guan, who was tall, burly and quite courageous, also repaid Na Di Gubao's enthusiasm in the same way. "Such a storm, how can it be so rare to overwhelm the fleet of our Wanhong Trading Company. This time, not only did I bring you five hundred altars of burning knives, but also twenty thousand shi of grain, and five hundred sets of iron armor... "

"You are indeed the best brothers of our Women's League. That's great. With this batch of food, at least our women's children and old people don't have to be afraid of hunger anymore." Hearing this, Di Gubao couldn't help feeling two With wide eyes, he burst out laughing radiantly.

"However, I don't know if this time, Mr. Di Gubao, did you bring enough things to exchange? You know, although the things that Wanhong Trading Company gave you to the Women's Straight Alliance are at friendly prices, business is business, and there is no credit. .If it's still like last time..." Tong Guan said with a smile and said unhurriedly.

Di Gubao smiled awkwardly. "Don't worry, this time I have explained more tribes, they have already prepared enough furs early, and those treasures that can only be found in the white mountains and black waters. I believe this time, it will be a very pleasant transaction."

"Let's go, let's go over there, all the goods used for trading this time are hidden in the cave over there..."

#####
Tong Guan strode forward following Na Di Gubao, followed by a group of financial houses and professionals who were good at calculating.They are responsible for inspecting the goods and calculating the price. Only after confirming the goods to be paid by the Women's Straight Alliance, Tong Guan will unload the corresponding amount of food, iron armor, and spirits.

The reason why this place was chosen as the trading place was precisely because it was far away from the sphere of influence of the Liao people, and it was originally a gathering place for a small tribe of Nvzhi.

And those female straight tribes don't have to carry the goods to be traded through the areas controlled by the Beiliao, so they can safely trade with the Song Dynasty.

The huge cave is already filled with tanned furs and placed in different categories, as well as those bundles of wild ginseng, and of course the gold and silver they snatched from the Beiliao people are indispensable. products.

These are all used for trade with Da Song. With the joint efforts of more than a dozen professionals, it took less than an hour to complete the inventory. After finally confirming the value, Tong Guan rushed behind The steward nodded slightly.

Next, it is unloading and loading, which takes a lot longer.

And Tong Guan and Di Gubao came to a small wooden house not far from the cave, where burning knives were already set up, and some people were roasting the sizzling game on the bonfire .

"By the way, Mr. Di Gubao, this time Tong came here not only to deliver goods, but also to deliver letters..." After sitting down, he drained the spirits that Di Gubao delivered, feeling as if Tong Guan, who had flames burning from his throat to his stomach, didn't dare to forget about his business.

"What letter are you sending?" Di Gubao wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at Tong Guan happily and asked.With this business trip, I was able to make a lot of money again, which was really satisfying.

"Master Wang asked Tong to tell Master Di Gubao that starting next month, the goods traded with you will be halved, and after half a year, the trade may stop..."

When Di Gubao heard this, he was stunned, not only him, but also the female warriors around him couldn't help being shocked.

"What does this mean? Are you Song dogs trying to break the previous agreement?!" A female straight warrior couldn't help but change her face, and fiercely pulled out the saber from her waist that was made by the Song Dynasty Military Supervisor, and used it He said in stammering Chinese.

And his reaction made the two Da Song warriors standing behind Tong Guan put their hands on the handles of their waists.

"That's enough, Artest! You all, get out of here!" Di Gubao took a deep breath, looked at him and was still sitting there, playing with his wine glass with a smile on his face, and hurriedly stopped drinking with a disapproving look. A female straight warrior, and the surrounding female straight warriors who were eager to try all retreated to the side.

Only then did Tong Guan wave his hand lazily, signaling the guards around him to take a few steps back.

Only then did Di Gubao twitch the corners of his mouth, and said with a subterranean smile. "Brother Tong, could it be that something happened to Song Ting? Why did Mr. Wang ask you to bring me such bad news?"

Tong Guan sized up Di Gubao's eyes, seeing the guilty conscience under this guy's expression, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. "Your Excellency also asked me to bring you a sentence, has Mr. Di Gubao forgotten the covenant between you and me, Da Song?"

"How is this possible? I, Di Gubao, am not the kind of person who says what he says but says what he says." Di Gubao shook his head rapidly.

"Then, two winters have already passed, why haven't you seen Master Di Gubao fulfill the promise you made to Da Song?"

"Master Di Gubao, please don't forget that my Wanhong Trading Company has been doing business with you, Mr. Di Gubao, all at a loss. Do you think how long I, Da Song, can endure if I only take money and do nothing?"
