Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"We are members of the Merchant Gang..."

"The Shang gang sent us to find out who lives here, and there is no malice..."

Wan Xi didn't believe them, and planned to continue to torture them, they howled, "everything is true, don't dare to hide it!"

"Then what have you found now?" Wan Xi suddenly smiled and asked them back.

Just as the man in black was about to answer, he felt something was wrong, so he stopped immediately and looked up at Wanxi: "We were caught as soon as we came in... nothing was found."

Wan Xi's eyes flashed, he snorted coldly, and asked: "Who is the boss of your business gang, tell him to come and see me."

The man in black looked at him in embarrassment: "Who is the boss of the merchant gang? Even our boss has never met him. Aren't you embarrassing us..."

This is true, the people who sent them here are from the Shang Gang, but they have never seen who the head of the Shang Gang is.

"Okay! I'll go back one of you and ask your boss to come see me." Wanxi asked A Zaodong to come over and untie one of the ropes, "The lives of these brothers of yours are all tied to you, you If you dare to run away, you know what I will do?"

"Yes……"

The man was about to leave, Wan Xi grabbed him and added: "If you want to bring a lot of people, it's the same... just wait to collect the bodies of some of them!"

The man nodded wildly, A Zaodong led him out of the forest, and he almost scrambled to keep up.

A Zaodong asked two soldiers to follow him secretly until they watched him enter Suzhou City, and no one came back to report.

A Zaodong: "Seeing him enter the city?"

The soldier replied: "I have been guarding all night, and when I came back, I still haven't seen anyone coming out."

"Okay, let's check again." A Zaodong patted him on the shoulder.

After waiting for a whole day, no one came from the north, not even the passing herdsmen.

Those people didn't dare to enter the forest, so they sent people to report, and invited Wanxi to come outside the forest to talk.

Wan Xi asked someone to send a message: "I don't have the courage and courage to do so, and I don't deserve to negotiate terms with me."

After hearing the message, the people outside the forest knew that the people inside would not come out, so they went in.

The leader of the group that came was a young man.

After the man in black went back, he told his boss what had happened. His boss felt that he might not be able to make the decision, so he went to the business gang.

They waited for a day before they got this young man.

Wan Xi looked at the young man with a smile on his romantic eyebrows, but the smile never reached his eyes: "Are you their boss?"

The young man shook his head: "No."

"Then what are you doing here?" Wan Xi snorted coldly.

The young man understood a little: "What happened last night was very offensive. It was a caravan passing by, and when they saw a sentry tower erected in your place, they became suspicious and came here to investigate and offended my lord. You have something important to do, my lord. Do you want to talk to our master? If so, it’s the same if you talk to me.”

Only then did Wanxi look him in the eye: "Are you very familiar with your head?"

"..." The young man was silent for a while, then smiled, "It's kind of..."

"Zhongxing Mansion, Qing Jiu You."

Wan Xi's eyes only changed for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

Things from many years ago still come to mind.

Na Biezhi, Bo Bo Nu, and Qing Jiu You.

These three names are ringing in my ears, and occasionally some pictures will appear, all of which are like a dream come true.

In the few years when Meng and Song joined hands to destroy gold, there was a period of peace and even sweetness.

At that time, there were Song scholar-bureaucrats and soldiers who entered Monan, and Qing Jiuyou's father was one of them.

The teenage Qing Jiuyou went to Onan River alone. She was dressed in men's clothes and her hair was tied up in a high bun. She had always dressed like a Han Chinese teenager, and no one would care about a child's gender.

At that time, Wanxi was still cheating girls from door to door in Daordu... He was famous for being romantic, he only cheated girls' money, but he never cheated other things, after all, he could go crazy betting with others for money , if you keep your boyhood, you can earn a lot of money.

At that time, he was short of money, wanted to make money, and was desperately trying to make money... He did everything he could.

The first time Wanxi heard about Qingjiuyou was actually two years after Qingjiuyou came to Dagoodu. At this time, the Kingdom of Jin had already been destroyed, and many Song people were kicked out of Dagoodu, and even arrested. gone.

Where did it come from, what ethnicity...

Originally, Wanxi couldn't remember this person, but unfortunately someone told him that this person has already accepted three caravans in just two years since he came to Da Ordu, and he is not very old.

This is also the reason why Wan Xi thought the Song people were cunning and cunning at the beginning, because he had a bad start, he just happened to make a fortune as a caravan and met such a strong enemy, and even half of the business of Da Ordu was taken up by Qing Jiuyou.

Wan Xi calculated that in less than three years, Qing Jiuyou would be able to put all the merchant gangs in Daor'er City under her name. Because of this, he quickly went to Bo Bo Nu, and he wanted to borrow the power of Heyan's Hand, suppress this Qing Jiuyou, it is best to drive Qing Jiuyou out of the grassland.

Unexpectedly, just as soon as he sent someone to send a message to Bo Bo Nu, he got a reply on the same day, and Bo Bo Nu agreed.

The three great evils of Onanhe, originally no one looked down on anyone, especially Wanxi didn't look down on Bobo Nu and Riyue at all, but this time, Wan Xi also realized that Bo Bo Nu might also be pretending...

The Heyan family took over most of the bazaars, tea markets, and entered the big banks and pawnshops by force. Qing Jiuyou's momentum to grow and develop was suppressed until later, and Qing Jiuyou disappeared.

The caravans traveling north and south of the Onan River seem to have quickly forgotten the name.

Until someone accidentally said that the Patriarch of the Biezhi helped Qing Jiuyou to open up the business markets of the Kelie Department and the Wanggu Department, until Qing Jiuyou later went to the hometown of Xixia to establish countless business gangs.

A business gang that holds more than half of the economy and trade in Monan and Mobei was born.

Later, this name never appeared.She may have changed many identities, and she may have traveled far away in Mobei.

She may have used the knife to touch Bo Bonu's neck as in the legend, then threw the knife and rode away alone, abandoning her great Ordu who had made great achievements.

Perhaps she had been to the Pamirs, but also to Samarkand and the city of Kiev to the west.

But now, she only left six words for her business gang: Zhongxingfu, Qingjiuyou.

Zhongxing Mansion is the hometown of her ancestors, Chang'an.

In six words, the young man described a touch of tenderness in a woman's magnificent life.

When Wan Xi came to his senses, he didn't know what to say, all the things he had imagined last night, he suddenly didn't want to say anything.

Twelve years ago, he drove Qing Jiuyou out of Daor'er with the help of Bo Bo's anger.

In the past 12 years, when I occasionally heard someone say that the head of the Shang Gang who was in charge of the Xixia hometown was a woman, I never thought about whether it was Qing Jiuyou.

It's like this woman has been expelled by him, far away from the grassland, and will never appear again.

His whole life, from decision-making to killing, from the market to the government and the public, from a down-and-out nobleman to a scholar-bureaucrat...

He never denied his viciousness and never regretted doing anything

The joys and sorrows in the world seem to have nothing to do with him, what he wants is a reputation that lasts forever, and a unified prosperous world.

It is not only Zhang Zai's ideal, but also the ideal of all scholar-officials to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and bring peace to everything.

A man with lofty aspirations, a down-and-out aristocrat who was born in the city, from Khitan to Mongolia, he has experienced many adoptions just like Riri, and when he laughs at Riri, he will also think of his former self.

The suffering childhood, the pace of the mother who can never catch up, and the tenderness of the mother once in a year.

Looking back, he thought that Biezhi was much happier than him. When he was a child, he only envied that Biezhi, his parents were still alive, his father was strict and his mother was strict, and even the servants in Biefu always had smiles on their faces.

"My lord?" The young man called Wanxi twice.

Wan Xi looked at him: "Tell Qing Jiuyou to come and see me, and I'll negotiate a deal with him."

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment: "My lord, we have not seen outsiders since four years ago.

"Go and tell her, the old man of Daordu City." When Wan Xi said this, the expression on the young man's face had changed, and the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.

Youth: "You wait for me for three days."

Wan Xi: "It's okay, if you don't bring anyone over after three days, I'll kill them every other day until they're all gone."

Sweat dripped from the young man's forehead, he nodded and turned to leave the woods.

I'm afraid Wanxi herself doesn't know why she must meet Qing Jiuyou. She can't explain it, but she just wants to know what this Qing Jiuyou looks like.

Three days later at night, Wanxi waited until the members of the Shang Gang left and returned.

On this day, Qin Juan was not allowed to meet again, and after handing everything over to Wan Xi, he went back to the camp to sleep.

The members of the merchant gang rode into the forest and stopped at the bonfire.

Wan Xi wore a crescent-white knitting robe, a little longer than the soldiers'. His robe was knee-length, and he wore a big snow-topped hat. His flirtatious eyebrows were in the shadows.

When the woman appeared, she was wearing a dark purple robe and a bamboo hat. When she took off the bamboo hat, she looked at Wanxi.

What Wanxi saw was a face about 20 years old, with white skin and picturesque eyebrows.

She should be 27, and if she is younger, she will be 25.

A face can not tell the original age.

Wan Xi looked at her with a smile on his face, he thought, obviously, Qing Jiuyou thought that Da Or'er's old friend was Nabie.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
