Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"They also encountered a strong wind, and now there are 280 people left. The leader speaks Mongolian, but they don't look like Mongolians, but Khitans or Jurchens, or they may be Han."

The soldiers Ayika sent to question came back and told him so.

"Are they going east?" Ayika asked.

"They said to go to Dadu."

"Are they going to trade in Dadu? What are they selling?"

The soldier lowered his head slightly: "I don't know yet."

"Take the message and let them go with us." Ayiga ordered.

Qin Juan couldn't help but looked up at Ayiga. They didn't have much water bags and food left, and Ayiga was probably thinking about it.

The soldiers had been gone for a long time, and Ayiga got a little impatient, so he called a cavalry closer to let the cavalry go over to understand the situation.

Not long after the cavalry left, the soldiers returned.

"The caravan said it wanted to talk to you about it."

Ayiga stood up from the sand: "Okay, let them come over."

The soldier whispered, "They told you to go over..."

Ayiga frowned slightly, and after a while, he selected a few people and brought Qin Juan with him, and they rode over to find the caravan.

Seeing Ayiga's calm expression, Qin Juan felt relieved, Ayiga probably wouldn't mess around.

But Qin Juan seems to have overestimated Ayiga's patience, or he thought that Ayiga was "kind" to everyone since he was very kind to him when he was young.

Fortunately, the leader of the caravan said, the two brothers standing next to the leader, one has a bad temper, and the other seems to be seldom talk but curses when he speaks.

Ayiga lost patience with them at first, but this man came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Ayiga slapped his face with a whip.

"..." Qin Juan was stunned, and it took him a long time to react and grab Ayiga.

"Brother! Let's talk about it first. It's impossible to ask them to take out water and food, and doing it will only increase a few more lives." Qin Juan said tremblingly.

Ayiga was in a hurry, Qin Juan knew that if these businessmen did not meet Ayiga today, but met other people leading the army, they would just grab it without saying a word.

Qin Juan grabbed A Yiga's sleeve and shook his head at him. If there were a lot of people in the caravan, the losses would definitely be heavy. Even if the goods were robbed, if the soldiers died too much, it would be a disastrous defeat.

Killing people is always a bad idea.

Boya Wuhuhu said that he had seen corpses floating all over the fields, that blood was redder than the setting sun, and that war is the most barbaric way for people to solve problems...

"We'll buy your things with silver." Qin Juan immediately said to the caravan as soon as his thoughts came back.

From the age of six, Nunu Mohe taught him that businessmen value profit. This point is engraved in his bones. Even if he is good, it is only the difference between valuing small profits and big profits. When talking about things with businessmen, it is always a way to bring the price first.

The businessmen in front of them seemed to be taken aback for a moment, not only them, but also Ayiga and the cavalrymen.

Qin Juan knew that the leading businessman should understand that he was giving them a chance to relax, a step up.

You must understand that now they have to sell if they don't sell it.

The leader looked young, in his twenties at most, dressed in a blind man's attire, but with delicate features. He looked at Qin Juan, and after a while, he gave orders to the two strong men beside him.

"Go and count our food and take out half of it."

"How can the boss do this? What should we do if we give it to them? How can more than 200 of us get out of here!"

The leader frowned slightly, and opened his lips: "Here."

"Boss..."

"Don't say anything, just do as I tell you."

Several people looked at each other when they saw this, they didn't say anything more, but it was obvious that they were extremely reluctant.

The caravan took out half of their grain, and the leader didn't want their money. Ayiga didn't like Moji, and he didn't like hypocrisy. He didn't want to give money when others said he didn't want money, but Qin Juan shook his head at him.

Qin Juan asked him to give the money, but he didn't understand it, but he asked him to get the money.

He asked Qin Juan what he meant.

Qin Juan said in a low voice: "They want to get rid of us and leave first, so they don't want to collect the money, but this is not enough. Let them take the money and go with us, promise them to share all materials, give them shelter, the only condition is to go together .”

A Yiga nodded, now he understands, he never thought that Qin Juan would have such abilities.

Ayiga walked over to his cavalry and said, "Let them go with us."

The people in the caravan hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed, whether it was due to pressure or other reasons.

Ayiga asked the people from the caravan to walk in the middle, with their people at the front and back, and General Xuebietai's people and their carriage at the end.

After walking for a few days, Songman fell ill again. He couldn't get rid of the fever without eating or drinking. The four- and five-year-old children really suffered with them.

Distressed and angry every day: "I should have left this bastard with you in Hu Si'er's ears in the first place."

Ji Buza lowered his head and dared not say anything, hugged Songman, and put his cheek on the child's forehead, he only hoped that Songman's body temperature would return to normal soon.

Qin Juan came over with the medicine just prepared by the military doctor, Jibuza patted Songman's little face: "Fox ball, I've taken the medicine, wake up soon..."

Songman opened his eyes, then closed them weakly, Ji Buza patted his face again: "It won't be uncomfortable after drinking the medicine...Wake up, young master..."

"..." Song Man moaned, but still didn't open his eyes.

"What are you still doing in a daze, pinch your nose, let's drink it." Said day casually.

Jibuza looked at Qin Juan and motioned for him to come.

"..." Qin Juan hesitated for a moment, pinched Songman's jaw with his fingers, pressed the medicine bowl against Songman's jaw and poured it into it...

As soon as the soup entered his throat, Song Man coughed twice and opened his eyes.

"Hmm... big brother... cough, cough, cough..." Song Man said a few words, and then he coughed uncontrollably.

Qin Juan's heart tightened when he saw it, but he actually put down the bowl and left without saying a word.

Riichi blinked twice, threw away the food in his hands, and walked over with his waist in his hands: "Jibuza, you said that such a soft-hearted little wolf cub, why should I keep him! He can't even pour medicine!"

As he spoke, he brushed up his sleeves and picked up the bowl, staring at Songman viciously: "Since you're awake, let me ask you whether you drink it yourself or I will pour it for you."

Songman was not afraid of him at all, he seemed to have figured out Riyue's temper, and he never beat him.However, he obediently stretched out his fat hand to stabilize the medicine bowl, and obediently drank the medicine.

"Bitter..." He just hummed.

Every day, when I was looking for candy in my pocket, I only heard the sound of the car curtain, and the person who had gone out just now came back, and that beautiful hand stretched out, and a half-peeled candy was lying in the candy paper.

Every day I wondered, how could the little wolf cub be whiter than his when he was doing rough work in the signing slave camp since he was a child?

Songman was stunned and didn't reach out to pick it up. Qin Juan pinched the candy with two fingers and put the candy to Songman's mouth.

Then Songman opened his mouth to bite the candy stupidly, and this bite hit Qin Juan's finger...

It's not painful, but the child is having a fever and his mouth is hot.

Qin Juan was so uncomfortable that even the bases of his ears turned red, but Songman didn't realize it, he was stupid all night, and fell asleep after taking the medicine.

The next day, when Songman woke up again, the military doctor said that his condition was much better than yesterday.

It was late at night when I saw the outline of Wuduan City, so I could see the fire outside the city very clearly.

"What's going on? I didn't see any postmen along the way. It's because Wuduan encountered a war. How is this possible?"

After all, they are getting closer and closer to the Central Plains. Who would dare to beat them here?

"Is it Qiang or Tangut? Or the remnants of the Jin Kingdom's royal family?" An adult said inadvertently.

None of the Khitan counselors said anything, and none of them wanted to answer this question, for fear of getting angry.

Qin Juan looked at the lord. This man was General Xuebietai's entourage. If he had talked with Ayiga several times along the way, he should be at least a commander.

"Come over and inquire about the situation. Let's hide." Ayiga ordered their people. As for General Xuebietai, he can't control it. He can let Master Xuebietai speak for himself.

Not long after, the people sent out by Ayiga left and returned.

"It's a Jin man who came from nowhere and almost occupied Wuduan. Fortunately, Lord Ning Bai rushed to help the adults here calm down."

"Lord Ning Bai?" Ayiga was startled, and every day he raised the curtain of the car to look over.

Obviously no one would expect Ning Bai to appear here.

"General Xuebietai is here." A cavalryman reminded them.

Yueyue got off the carriage, and Ayiga and the cavalry dismounted.

"General Xuebietai." They saluted neatly.

"Go and tell the officials at Wuduan that we are going into the city." Xuebietai said to Ayiga.

"Yes." Ayiga sent someone to go, and then asked Qin Juan to tell the caravan that they could leave now.

Before leaving, the young man who was the leader of the caravan gave Qin Juan a black wooden sign.

"Brother Qin, thank you very much this time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, or want to see me, you can take this sign to the Shazhou Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce. They will help you when they see this sign." The young man lowered his head. After finishing speaking, he mounted his horse and left.

The sound of camel bells went away, and the caravan disappeared under the starry sky.

About half an hour later, the sound of horseshoes came, and it was the officials from Wuduan who heard the sound.

"General Xuebietai, Gui'an, Prince Yiwen's son, Gui'an." The adults bowed and saluted.

Xuebietai doesn't talk, and it's not easy to talk every day. After all, the elders and children are orderly, and Xuebietai is his cousin.

Because no one spoke for a long time, the adults in Wuduan bowed their bodies and did not dare to raise their heads. This moment was very embarrassing.

Qin Juan also noticed something was wrong, he looked at Ayiga, and Ayiga happened to look at him.

Because of the attack on Wuduan City, the army returning from the east should not have stayed for long, but because of Ning Bai, the army had to go to see Ning Bai.

I don't like Ning Bai every day, one is that Ning Bai is not very old, but he is a generation taller than him, and the other is because Ning Bai is both civil and military, from childhood to adulthood, this name almost rubbed his ears out ...

Being compared is the most annoying thing in this world for Ri Ri Ri, especially when his cousin can't walk away after seeing Ning Bai.

"I knew there was something wrong with Ning Bai who left that day and night, but I didn't expect him to return east early..." Riri muttered with sullen brows, but no one else could hear him, Qin Juan listened clearly with his ears up.
