Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

There are more than [-] dowry carts, although many of them are stuffed with cattle, sheep, cloth, rice, grains and soybeans, but a few of them are loaded with gold, silver, jewellery, silk, tea, and pearls.

The pearls were bought from business travelers every day, not many black ones, mostly purple ones.

Watching Master Luwen Zhenxiu's motorcade leave, Yueyue stood on the tower for a while, letting Qin Juan go back first.

Qin Juan saw that he was thinking, so he left with Songman and Danmu.

Riyue blew the wind on the tower for a while, as if he remembered some words that his father had said to him when he was still alive when he was still alive.

The father has no heirs, so he really treats him as his own flesh and blood.

He seemed to be thinking of his uncle again, his uncle taught him horseback riding and archery, and his uncle treated him so well...

In fact, he would also be puzzled, it is obvious that Wu Lin Nu is his uncle's real son.

But my uncle didn't like Wu Lin Nu.

He couldn't figure out the reason for this, and he never asked anyone.

Now, there are not many people left in my father's old department and my uncle's old department. They are in disarray and left him.

Finally he understood that everything depends on himself.

The army of the father and the army of the uncle were all fought by themselves.

Precisely because of such a childhood.

In the future, he will send an army to his son.

He only needs one son, and the rest are daughters, so that he can raise one son and many daughters with peace of mind, and concentrate on teaching them. There will be no brothers and eldest sons competing for the first son, and sisters will help each other, and there will be no disputes .

At this time, King Dayong was 16 years old, and his thinking was very simple.

Yueyue figured it out, smiled, turned around and walked down the tower, and went to the Guanyang Farm to find Qin Juan. When he went, Qin Juan was shearing the sheep with Danmu and a few soldiers.

"Wow, cutting so fast..." Every day was surprised.

Now Danmu can also shave sheep very quickly, and his movements are very skillful.

After a while, the sheep were thrown aside naked.

Seeing Yueyue coming, Qin Juan said: "Don't talk too much, it's full of dandruff here." He said, and handed a scarf to Yueyue.

Yueyue put on the scarf and knelt down to shear the sheep with them.

Danmu walked inside with the sheep in his arms, obviously not wanting to pay attention to the day.

Danmu doesn't like Yueyue, which is too obvious, which makes Qin Juan feel embarrassed.He couldn't get angry every day, if this guy wasn't from Boyawu, he would have to teach him a lesson.They are already this big, worse than Song Man!After all, he is also a king!

Qin Juan gave Danmu a wink to tell him to restrain himself.

Danmu pouted and held the sheep's back and turned to them: no.

According to Danmu's knowledge, King Dayong killed seven retainers of the Boyawu family because King Dayong sued Naimazhen.

Of course, Danmu only thought so superficially.

His likes and dislikes are simple, not complicated at all.

Qin Juan sighed, ignored the two of them, and continued to work, to finish shearing the wool of the hundred sheep before dark.

Once I got started, I couldn't stop, calling it fun.

The sheep didn't dare to move it in his hands, and honestly wished he could stick up its buttocks and let him cut it.

The more I cut it, the more fun I felt: "I won't be a prince until tomorrow, and I will herd sheep and shear sheep every day... Hahaha."

"What are you thinking?" Qin Juan smiled.

Yue said: "Raising sheep is so interesting. When I have time, I build a sheep shed, loosen the soil for the pasture, and feed the sheep when I am busy, and then shear the sheep..."

"If you feel tired, you can come here, but don't let the adults hear these words, or you will have to nag you again." Qin Juan said.

Said: "I know. Those old guys, I have to replace them all one day, where did they come from..."

Qin Juan looked at him: "It's not like that."

"Why do you keep so many officials? Keep them? I have to give them money, how can I give them so much money." Riri said angrily, "When Luobu City was occupied by Wulin Nu, I don't know how many people surrendered. Lin Nu couldn't do it anymore, and came to me with tears streaming down his face, if someone else had killed An Yi long ago, I just died too many people because of the battle for the Inheritance, and I don't want to create another killing karma."

Hearing this, Qin Juan seemed to understand Riyue's thoughts.

Qin Juan stopped: "Do you want to advance the age of retirement? Let them retire early?"

"Returning old people to their hometowns requires returning money, at least two ingots of horseshoe silver for each official, and now I have no money to give them." Rii Yue raised his eyebrows.

"You don't have any money to pay them. If you really don't want to support them anymore, you can just give them money to persuade them to go back to their hometown, lest you give them money every month and watch them get angry." Qin Juan knew this well. The money can still be taken out every day, but I can't shame enough to tell those people to go back.

Since it is useless to keep it, it is useless to keep more.

Yueyue put down the scissors suddenly: "I'll go back and make arrangements."

He suddenly figured it out, there is no benefit in keeping more redundant officials, some officials were transferred from the Hou Liao, and some were transferred from the officials of the Jin Kingdom, he should have changed a long time ago, not because of the age of those people, He just wants the local people to be responsible, and he doesn't need those who don't do anything to occupy their positions.

Before the twelfth lunar month of this year, King Dayong dismissed more than 20 people, and of course there were many innocent people among them.

It's just that this young prince, he desperately wants to make all the people in his fief become his supporters.

Among the officials who were dismissed, the number of mediation officials was the largest, reaching 17.

King Dayong almost took this opportunity to dismiss all the officials who looked like King Kuanduan or Naimazhen in one go.

At this time, King Dayong secretly released the news that Wuduan has several official positions, and he can get them at a high price.

King Dayong will not be like the people of King Kuanduan, he dare not touch the caravan, let alone arrest the caravan for money, imprison him or even kill him.

But he really needed money, and the money given to those old officials almost emptied his old base, so his people helped him come up with such a method of "selling officials to sell nobles".

But money is the second priority, we still have to choose the best, and how to get it done depends on Qin Juan.

At first, some businessmen heard the news and quickly came to him.

And Qin Juan told them that the officials sold by Wuduan are high-ranking officials who can coordinate the management of the whole Wuduan.

This kind of supervisor is called "Daluhuachi" by Mongolians. It was established during the period of Genghis Khan, and cooperated with the kings to control the Western Regions. Later, during the period of Wokuotai Khan, when the provincial system of the Western Regions was established, there were more and more such officials.

The merchant asked him, "How much silver does it cost?"

"The last one you offered was 1000 taels, I think it's too little." Qin Juan knew that the person who could ask the price must be rich. Since they want to choose someone, if they like it, they will naturally lower the price, and if they don't like it Those who want to raise the price will make them leave.

In this way, after several days, Qin Juan failed to choose a suitable person, either rich or incompetent, or simply wanted to buy an official to make big profits.

"Wait another two days, if it doesn't work, we can only choose the one with the highest bid to sell."

At night, Qin Juan rested his chin and looked through the household registrations of those people.

Danmu: "You can also entrust the high bidders to small officials."

"They all came here with the official title of 'Dalu Huachi'." Qin Juan laughed.

Danmu asked suspiciously, "Then what kind of official is this?"

"Although there is no rank, there is an official seal bestowed by the Great Khan, which was passed down from the predecessor 'Dalu Huachi' to the successor. This is an official with real power and specific honors, which is very suitable for them." Qin Juan He closed the household registration booklet and rubbed his eyes.

Danmu leaned on the table and asked him: "There is only one Daluhuachi in the whole Wuduan, so who are you going to hand over to Qin?"

"There is no suitable person. Dalu Huachi is responsible for collecting taxes and issuing soldiers. Some merchants are illiterate. Literacy is not enough." Qin Juan sighed, "Other officials are easy to sell, but Dalu Huachi cannot be sold casually."

Danmu nodded: "Then just wait."

A few days later, one morning Muya came from the south to Guanyangchang, and he told Qin Juan that a caravan came from Kesihaer and had stopped there for several days.

Mu Ya felt strange, so she woke up early today to look for Qin Juan.

Qin Juan put on his clothes, asked Danmu to take care of the sheep, and followed Mu Ya on horseback.

"From Kesihaer, how many people are there?" Qin Juan asked Mu Ya on the road.

"About forty people."

That's a lot of people.

Qin Juan frowned, and with the horse's belly between his legs, he sped up a bit.

It's been a long time since I went to see Nunu Mohe, and he was planning to take a half-foot-tall Jade Buddha that he found someone to make for Nunu on this trip.

Before he went to the Onan River, he got a piece of jade and entrusted someone to find a craftsman, and it has been a few days since he packed it and sent it to him.

He seemed to be afraid to see Nunu deep in his heart, and he couldn't explain why.

Maybe it was because this man had witnessed his painful past when he was young, maybe it was nothing but a simple retreat.

But he felt sorry for Nunu, and he also remembered Nunu's words that he wanted him to retire to the end of his life.

Perhaps what he was even more afraid of was that the child who was sent to the Jihab camp had become Nunu Mohe.

He knew that Nunu Mohe would not be able to face the suffering and humiliation in his whole life, and he also knew that he would never forget Qin Juan as a cub in his whole life.

Qin Juan went to the place where Nunu Mohe lived, when Nunu Mohe was cooking noodles behind the yard.

When he entered the yard, he saw a neatly dressed man with meticulously combed hair. He couldn't recover. He had never seen such a Nunu Mohe.

never.

Nunu Mohe turned his back to Qin Juan, and just by hearing the sound of footsteps, he could tell that it was Qin Juan coming, after all, this was the child he brought up.

"Mu Ya, go and stabilize those merchants first, I'll be there in half an hour." Qin Juan said to Mu Ya.

After Mu Ya left, he walked towards Nunu Mohe and put the Jade Guanyin on the top shelf of the cabinet in the yard.

He felt Nunu Mohe's gaze and didn't turn around immediately.

After that gaze moved away, he turned around and walked to the earthen stove to add firewood to the stove.

The Jurchens, like the Han people, prefer to burn earthen stoves instead of fire pits.

Nunu Mohe is still accustomed to cooking with mud-built stoves.

The knife-cut noodles boiled in the pot were cooked, rolling in the boiling water.

Qin Juan put oil, salt, a little spice and green onion in a large bowl, scooped up the noodles, and mixed it with soup.

There is a large spice trading market in Luobu City, so that you can eat inexpensive spices here.

Mu Ya said that Nu Nu liked it very much.

In his memory, Nunu was not very interested in eating and drinking. He swallowed jujubes several times and chewed them without knowing the taste. Sometimes he even skipped chewing and swallowed them directly.

Qin Juan thought, if you have something you like, you will want to live even more.

And when a person is willing to wear clean clothes and comb his hair meticulously, does it mean that he will have a new hope of living here.

Qin Juan handed the big bowl of noodles to Nunu, and Nunu took it, and started eating without saying anything.

Qin Juan sat for a while, feeling that Nunu had finished eating, and he was about to get up to find Mu Ya.

I only heard the man next to me say: "I was also six years old that year, the same age as the year you went to Camp Jihab."

Qin Juan sat back quietly. He didn't speak, but listened carefully, his whole body trembling slightly.

This is the first time he heard Nunu talking about the past, the past of Nunu when he was a cub.

So calm, yet not so peaceful.

But at the moment when this man opened his mouth for the first time, Qin Juan felt an unprecedented sadness.

"King Tikka's royal court is in the Pamirs. I was six years old when I was arrested. All the suffering began from that year."

The young Nunu inherited the white skin and beautiful face unique to the noble mother, and the six-year-old Nunu was a doll carved with jade.

Having received a good education, he could speak Jurchen and a little Chinese at the age of six.

It's just that a defeat ended all the good things, and he became a little prisoner of the Tikka royal court.

The next four years were spent in filth and humiliation.

These four years have also created his contradictory and almost crazy temperament in this life...

Nu Nu, who was raised by King Tikka until he was ten years old, was rescued because of the appearance of a prince named Wan Yanxu.

Wan Yanxu and the princes of the Tata tribe destroyed King Tikka together.

The royal court of Titica on the Pamirs was destroyed.

Qin Juan never thought that Nunu Mohe once loved a boy almost crazily.

The boy rescued the ten-year-old Nunu from suffering, and for him, Nunu also wanted to work hard to become a talented boy to make up for the lost virginity when he was young.

Wanyan Xu seemed to like him very much and gave him many rare books that were hard to find.

Speaking of this, Qin Juan thought of the "Da Tang Western Regions" that Nu Nu regards as a treasure.

Perhaps, it was the last book Nunu gave him from Wanyanxu.

Qin Juan originally thought it was a romance, but he didn't think that the young man in the story who rescued Nunu from the fire and water was not the hero of Nunu.

The boy's love for Nunu is all because the young Nunu looks a bit like that prince.

Prince of the Tata clan.

Fox's uncle.

Nunu became a substitute for others, and became a substitute for others in the brocade quilt.

The pearl jade is warm and fragrant, and the time of being hit by waves lasted for about five years.

Until, Wanyan Xu died in battle.

Nunu Mohe became a captive of the Mongolian soldiers again.

He thought that Wanyanxu ended his miserable youth, but he never thought that it gave him the seemingly bright and short-lived beauty.

But he didn't want to die, he was afraid of pain, or he didn't want to die before that Prince Tata.

The most painful thing in his life was not the humiliation in Tikka's court before he was ten years old, but that his loved one was attached to other people, and that his loved one ordered him not to collect his body before his death.

He was also born in a Jurchen noble, so if he hadn't suffered as a child, he should have lived well even if the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed later.

His whole life is a game of defeat, so he should win a game somewhere.

"When I saw you that year, I asked you how old you were, and you answered six years old. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak on the spot. I went to many camps, and many children came there. I didn't want to care about it, and I didn't want to ask. When I saw you I couldn't help asking, it's also because you are good-looking, even if your hair is dirty and there are bloodstains on your face, that kind of good-looking is different from others, it is a good-looking that can be seen at a glance, do you still remember the first time When I saw me, did I do anything to you?" Nunu Mohe stared at the firewood burning in the stove, and said quite calmly.

"You squatted down, picked up the horse manure on the ground and wiped it on my face."

Qin Juan sighed, and said that he seemed to understand something today.

Nunu: "Remember so clearly, you must hate me very much."

"Hmm." Qin Juan didn't deny that after so many years of suffering, he still maintained a magnanimity in his heart because of this man, no matter what his original intention was.

"You are a good man." He said, he didn't dare to look at Nunu Mohe, and looked at the sky with reddish eyes, "You saved me and brought me up, without you I can't live until six or seven years old, so, I am I won't let you lose."

"If you feel that your life has no place to win, leave it to me and I will let you win. You are only responsible for living, and you will live longer than the king of the Tata tribe and die later."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and walked out quickly, his eyes were red at that moment.Nunu who has loved someone with all his life, he deserves better love, and Wanyanxu has no blessing to endure.

At this moment, he thought again, if Zhao Huaizhi liked other people, such as Bobo Nu, what would happen to him...

Qin Juan took a deep breath, he thought that he would not live himself to the point where no one had to, he was not a slave, he would not devote his whole life to loving someone, so Qin Juan at this moment felt that Nunu was great of.

At least Qin Juan, who is about to turn 15 years old, still can't spend his whole life to love someone.

That kind of love is ignorant and inseparable to him.

Qin Juan went to find Mu Ya, who was having breakfast with those businessmen.

Mu Ya has such an ability, he can quickly break into other people's internal affairs, he was born in the Mongolian slave tribe, he has met many people since he was a child, he has been in contact with many people and many things, because he knows a lot, so he can quickly find out what other people like, although Sometimes I like to weigh pros and cons with benefits, but I am a good person in essence.

When Qin Juan went, Mu Ya was talking about teasing crickets with a businessman.

Mu Ya actually didn't know about this, but some things from hearsay can also be encouraged to talk to others.

"I also heard that a flower general (the name of the cricket) in the Song Dynasty can be sold for 1000 taels of silver. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I can feel two points from this story. People really like to play." Mu Ya ate cakes and drank goat's milk, sitting upside down, talking happily.

Another said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Juan: "..."

"Ah, Qin, you're here." Mu Ya blushed when she saw Qin Juan.

Mu Ya said to those merchants: "This is my brother, who works in Luobu City, if you have any questions, just ask him."

Just now Mu Ya directly asked them why they have been here for so long, those people told him that their boss wanted to buy an official, so they stayed here to inquire and delayed for a few days.

Mu Ya asked, but she didn't have time to tell Qin Juan.

When the people in the caravan heard Mu Ya say that Qin Juan was working in Luobu City, they all looked over.

Seeing the extraordinary appearance and incomparable handsomeness of this young man, several men were stunned.

"They want to buy an official." Mu Ya said in Qin Juan's ear.

Qin Juan narrowed his eyes, looked at them, and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me, and I will answer you all."

"Then little brother, do you know what conditions are needed to buy an official?" One person stood up and asked.

Qin Juan felt that this person looked familiar, so he didn't seriously think about where he met him for a while, and was busy answering his question: "One thousand and five hundred taels of silver, can speak Chinese, Uwu, Chinese characters, arithmetic, and abacus. good."

Mu Ya whispered: "Actually, let me tell you, it's quite suitable for you to combine Sangbagan and Daying together."

Qin Juan was taken aback, Sangbagan and Daying were now secretly placed in the cavalry battalion by the Japanese, and they wanted to create a mysterious full-armored cavalry within five years, about 300 people. The positions of Sangbagan and Daying cannot be exposed.

Of course Mu Ya didn't know this yet.

"Our boss knows what you said!" A person in the caravan shouted, because of the smile on his face, Qin Juan could feel the pride that this person had when talking about their boss.

This was really found by him, the person he wanted?

"So you can come up with 500 taels."

"Money is not a problem." The head of the strong man said, "We are afraid that the government does not sincerely want to sell the official."

Qin Juan narrowed his eyes: "Then let's talk about why you want to buy an official."

The strong man was puzzled for a moment, and replied, "Of course it's because he wants to gain both fame and fortune."

Qin Juan: "Your answer is more solid than others'."

"Where is your boss, let him come to see me." Qin Juan asked.

"Who are you?" the strong man asked.

Mu Ya: "He is the deputy general of our Luobu City."

"A lieutenant general? Those who command 3 people are called generals, and those who lead 1 people are called lieutenants. Are you a lieutenant?" Someone asked in surprise.

Qin Juan pursed his lips and smiled: "Everyone, please divide the data just now by ten."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

Qin Juan looked at them again: "How about it, do you still want to stay with Luo Bu and Wu Duan like this? If you want to, let your boss come to me. There is an official sheep farm three or four miles north. Find me there."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

About three to five days later, a group of people came from Guanyang Farm.

At this time, Qin Juan looked at the person walking towards him, and the face from a few years ago came to his mind, and he remembered that it was the man who gave him the signboard of the Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce.

The man is Han Chinese, he still remembers.

Of course, there are changes between the 11-year-old Qin Juan and the 15-year-old Qin Juan. Although the man didn't recognize him at first sight, he immediately recognized Qin Juan when Qin Juan took out the signboard of the Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce.

I didn't expect to meet again after many years.
