Great Song Pirate

Chapter 189 Tongguan Bing Defeated
"Mr. Xu is really a god! Things in the north are really as you expected!" Li Mingshan hurriedly said with a strange expression as soon as they met.

Xu Yi originally planned to exchange greetings with them, but his nonsensical words made Monk Zhanger a little puzzled, so he wondered, "What does shopkeeper Li mean by that! Did things go as I expected?"

Li Mingshan was obviously a little anxious. Knowing that Xu Yi didn't understand what he said, he quickly explained with a complicated expression of admiration and shock on his face: "Isn't it the bet that the young master made with Mutian back then? Taishi Tong's Northern Expedition The Liao Kingdom, as you expected, came back in a big defeat. Not only did they not take down Yanyun and other places, but they also suffered heavy losses. 10,000+ soldiers and horses were defeated by the Liao Kingdom. Now they have returned to the court! "

Only now did Xu Yi understand what he was referring to. He thought it was a big deal, but it was just this matter. It didn't need to be said by shopkeeper Li. He already knew the result of Tong Guan's dispatch of troops. What happened, it seems that history has not changed because Xu Yi came to this era, at least the wind from the butterfly effect he caused has not yet blown to the north!

"Brother Xu is really good at predicting things! He actually predicted the result of the imperial court's dispatch of troops a few months ago, and it is exactly as you expected. I, Li Mutian, am completely convinced! To be honest, When you and I made the bet at the beginning, I thought that maybe I could win the bet this time, and I didn't take your words to heart, but now it seems that Mu Tian is convinced that he lost!" Li Mutian also said with a complicated expression.

"Sit down and talk first, sit down and talk, when did shopkeeper Li get the news?" Xu Yi asked the two of them to sit down first.

"Just at noon today, the news brought back by the manager of the semicolon of our Li family in the capital is estimated to be very few people in the market. Once the people learn about this, there will be an uproar. After I heard that you came to Hangzhou, I hurried to tell you. To be honest, when Mutian told me about your bet, I didn’t believe you could have expected it. I think this time Even if the imperial court sent troops to the Liao Kingdom, even if they couldn’t win a big victory, they wouldn’t be defeated. I’m still waiting to see what’s going on there, planning to go to Jin Guo to do a horse business in case the court wins this time, but it didn’t work out. I think you really got it this time! It seems that the tea, leaf cloth and other goods I have hoarded should be sold quickly. The Liao Kingdom is not destroyed, and my plan to do horse business is probably difficult. It's done, I regret that I didn't listen to your words, or I wouldn't have stockpiled so many goods!" Li Mingshan shook his head with a look of remorse.

Xu Yi thought to himself, I said, why are you so anxious for the court to take down Yanyun and other places!I dare say that your Li family has always planned to go there to buy and sell the horses. If you don't listen to me this time, you will be at a disadvantage!No wonder I, Xu Yi, didn't remind you in advance!Even though he thought so, he still comforted Shopkeeper Li and said, "So that's the case! But I was just speculating on my own at the beginning. I didn't expect it to be true. It seems that I blame Xu for being poisonous! Said The good things are not the bad ones. As for the tea and other things you hoarded, I can’t see them as failures. Now the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty is very good, and the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Xixia is also relatively close for the time being. With this opportunity, if you sell the goods shipped to the north as soon as possible, you may not lose money, and you may even make a fortune, so don’t worry about it!”

Shopkeeper Li gradually felt relieved after hearing what he said, so he complimented him: "Mr. But I don’t know from what you see, is this generation of Yanyun and our Great Song really unable to take it down?”

Xu Yi secretly felt a little proud. He, a latecomer who knew the history early, talked casually about the things he knew long ago, and was regarded as a heavenly man by the shopkeeper Li and his son, and even compared him with the Zhuge Shenhou back then. If he had Zhuge Liang's ability, he doesn't know where he would have run to by now, and whose thigh he would have hugged!hehe!As for the question raised by Shopkeeper Li, since everyone regards him as a great god, then he might as well continue pretending to be a great god!So he said according to his memory: "You can't say that. I think that after the defeat of the imperial court, the current emperor must not let it go. Although we Song people can't beat the Liao people, the Liao people are not the opponents of the Jin people." Now, the Song and Jin countries are still allies. If the Song people are defeated, the Jin people will definitely send troops to clean up the Liao people. Once the Liao people are defeated by the Jin people again, with the current relationship between Song and Jin, maybe they can really get back Yanyun and others. land!"

Shopkeeper Li and Li Mutian heard Xu Yi's words, and there was a glimmer of hope on their faces, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly asked: "Then from what Mr. Xu saw, is it still possible for us to take this Yanyun and other places? Doesn’t that mean my hard work won’t be in vain?”

Xu Yi really admired this treasurer Li, he actually cared more about Song Guo's ability to win Yanyun and other places than the emperor's old man. Could it be that the profit of this horse trade is so big?Is the Li family so attractive to them?If you have to go to the north to do business, why bother?But he couldn't bear the Li family to fall headlong into it, so he went on to say: "Listen to my analysis, shopkeeper Li, I'm afraid things won't be as optimistic as you think, even if we Song people really took down Yan Yun and others." I am afraid that there is already an empty city there, and I think the Jin people are definitely not easy to be with. Immediately after the country, the horses were sent to the Nanshan Mountains, disarmed and returned to the fields! If it is not what I expected, once the Jin people wiped out the Liao Kingdom, with their greed, they will definitely turn their attention to our Song Dynasty, and they will not put down their butcher knives , the spearhead will definitely be directed at our Song Dynasty. I have analyzed this matter before! So I think that even if Da Song can take back Yanyun and other places, I am afraid it will not be able to hold on for a few days. Yun and other places are the first to bear the brunt, and with the strength of the Jin people, it will only take them a few days to take down Yanyun, I think shopkeeper Li should make a plan early and give up this idea!"

After listening to Xu Yi's words, shopkeeper Li and Li Mutian became frustrated again. Now after this incident, they have completely believed that Xu Yi must have the ability to predict the future. Since he said so, it is likely that Maybe it was just like what he said, Li Mutian also nodded and said: "Brother Xu did say these things to me before, and when Brother Xu came to Hangzhou for the first time, I met a Mr. Zhao in the restaurant, Brother Xu said so. I think what Brother Xu said at the beginning will definitely not fall into the empty space. Father still followed what Mr. Xu said and made plans early. If it is true what Brother Xu said, we At that time, I am afraid that all these preparations and hoarded goods in the north will be in vain!"

Shopkeeper Li had nothing to say this time, so he could only nod his head and said, "Since Mr. Xu predicted this, I think it is indeed very reasonable. I think that's the case over there. That's right! If Mr. Xu predicts the north There will be no peace, and there is no hope for Yanyun and other places. If, as Mr. Xu said, Jin Guo is really wiped out and aggressively invades the south, then the two roads of Hebei Road will also be in danger? If there is a problem with the two roads of Hebei , the iron production place in Song Dynasty will be in trouble, so it would be a good thing for us to resell these goods and transport the iron back to the south! I wonder what Mr. Xu thinks?"

Xu Yi is sweating!A businessman is a businessman. Just now he was concerned about whether Da Song could win Yanyun and other places, as if he was a patriot. At this moment, the shopkeeper Li immediately turned back into a profiteer again, and made a new plan. He really regarded himself It's so predictable!How did he know where the main iron-producing places in Song Dynasty were?He didn't care about this iron production before!So he frowned and asked: "This matter! You also know that I haven't come back soon after all, and I don't know much about many properties of our Dasong. Then the shopkeeper Li might as well tell me that the main production area of ​​our Dasong's iron mines is What a place!"

This time there is no need for shopkeeper Li to speak, but Li Bo next to him interjected and said with a smile: "I know this, our Dasong Iron Mine is most famous in Cizhou, Hebei, and there is the largest amount of iron ore produced there. The main place for iron production!"

After Li Bo finished speaking, Shopkeeper Li and Li Mutian also nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Xu Yi frowned again, and said, "If that's the case, it's also a good idea to store some iron materials. This should work!"

After hearing Xu Yi's affirmation of his thoughts, shopkeeper Li got up and thanked him: "Li has been taught, then I will follow what Mr. Xu said, things in the north can't go on like this. Mr. Xu is exhausted, so let's take a rest." Besides, we won't bother you anymore, as for the bet between Young Master and Mu Tian back then, don't worry, Young Master, as long as Young Master needs it, our Li family will never deny it!"

Xu Yi said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, don't worry about this matter. Mutian and I were just joking back then. Don't worry about the soap thing. I won't hand it over to others. And this time I'm going to I brought you a new gadget, Li Bo! Take those few pieces of high-grade soap and give it to shopkeeper Li to take it back for a try. Compared with soap, this thing will definitely make those ladies like it again! "Xu Yi didn't talk about giving up the bet, but seized the opportunity to sell the new soap of Fat Light brand first, and the profit of this product must be more exciting than soap!
