Chapter 324 Rooted

After the founding of the state of Dajin, the Northeast was the foundation of the country, so it imitated the Liao and Song systems, and established roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the Northeast. The distribution of first-class towns.

In the following decades, the imperial court first solicited excellent shirts, second immigrated to Shi Nei, and third unified the Jurchen Meng'an Muke to grant land and organize farmland to ensure agricultural production.When the Dajin Kingdom was in its heyday, all the prefectures in the Northeast had flat soil and new crops were almost everywhere. The so-called "hundreds of thousands of registered households and more than a thousand miles of cultivated land" is not a lie.

However, this grand occasion did not last long. After all, the natural environment in the interior of the Northeast was harsh. As the court's center of gravity continued to move southward, attention to the Northeast gradually declined.

At the same time, the Jurchen Meng'an Mouke, who was the basis of control, was continuously moved inland, and Han'er fled widely.The agricultural economy, which was forcibly boosted by military and political purposes, is also collapsing day by day.

After arriving in Taihe, the imperial government's governance of the region became more and more sparse, and officials could only search and collect. The Central Plains and Hebei were full of complaints, let alone Liaohai?As a result, a lot of farming was abandoned in various places, and the people of all ethnic groups only lived by fishing and hunting, and famine was frequent.And because of the Khitan Yeluliuge's rebellion, the treasury was wiped out by several military disasters, and now almost all the local forces entrenched in the Northeast are poor ghosts.

Under such circumstances, although horses are produced in the Northeast, there are not many forces that can raise horses on a large scale. This caused the self-proclaimed Liao King Yeluliu to be aided by more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry. .

And Ding Haijun wants two thousand horses to open his mouth, which is really a big deal.Although Guo Ning, the military commander of the Ding Navy, was famously fierce and rebellious, so what?
Heshi Liehuanduan figured it out a long time ago, Guo Ning is rampant in Shandong, so what does it matter to me in Liaodong?In this troubled world, you have to take care of your immediate interests first!
"Haha, haha, Judge Li, please, please. Please try this tendon. It is said that the tendon of the hind leg of a lamb is only suitable for stewing soup, and the tendon of the front leg is suitable for roasting. Try it, the outer layer is burnt. , very soft inside!"

Heshi Liehuan held a small knife himself, and handed a piece of sizzling mutton to Li Yun's eyes.

Li Yun took the knife with a smile: "Heshi Liedutong, it is very difficult for you to gather two thousand horses, right?"

Heshi Liehuan's complexion changed, he raised his head and smiled and said: "Here in Fuzhou, there are still some Shiwei tribes attached to the imperial court, and I can recruit them from them. In addition, the Wendihan Qinggou in Gaizhou is very popular." The support of the Jurchen ministries in the Hesu Pavilion can also gather a group of horses. If you want [-] horses, I will bring [-] horses, no problem!"

"and then?"

"What then?"

"Dutong doesn't want to think about the next step, other business?"

"What else is there to do?"

Li Yun got up from the table and bowed to Heshi Liehuan: "Dutong, please wait a moment, I will show you something."

"it is good."

Li Yun went out quickly, and brought back several subordinates in a short while, each holding boxes of different sizes.

"these are……"

Li Yun waved back his subordinates, opened the box, and said with a smile: "Dutong, these boxes are armor, pig iron, and cloth produced in Shandong; those boxes are medicinal materials, raw lacquer, silk cloth, tea, and spices from the Southern Song Dynasty. Do you think this kind of material can be used here in Fuzhou? Or, can it be used in Dading Mansion, Huining Mansion, Xianping Mansion, Taizhou... ”

Heshi Liehuan glanced back and forth at these goods, and finally said in a deep voice: "In the past few years, there have been many wars and fightings in the Northeast. I think it doesn't matter if you have tea and spices or not. But other things, hehe, They are all good things for military supplies. How much can you bring? I can eat all of them in one or two boats. Even if I don’t have horses, I’ll trade them in furs for you. Ginseng is also a good thing! By the way, Next to your camp, there are many yellow-headed Jurchens. These people don’t want to die in the war, and they can give you a bargain!”

"One boat? Two boats?"

Li Yun smiled lightly: "Dutong, do you know what I did before I became the judge of this group of shepherds?"

"Haha, you are a high-ranking official at such a young age, so you are naturally the confidant of your family, Guo Jiedu. As for what exactly you did, I really don't know."

"If Dutong sends people to Zhongdu in the future, you might as well inquire about it. Hu Shahu usurped the rebellion that day, and Zhongdu was in chaos. All the smuggled merchants and fleets in Zhigu Village in Zhongdu fell into the hands of my Jieshuai. I am responsible for receiving these merchants. And the fleet is me, Li Yun. Dutong, the maritime business routes between the Jin and Song Dynasties, the kings and nobles who could support more than half of the Dajin Kingdom were so rich, think about it, what was that like? scale?"

Heshi Liehuanduan, who was born in the Southwest Recruitment Department, Hulun Song Gemeng'an, really has no intuitive experience with maritime trade.Hearing what Li Yun said, he frowned and thought for a while.

And Li Yun lowered his voice: "Six ships from Shandong to Fuzhou have come this time, and you have seen them all. But in my family's hands, there are four hundred such ships in total! Four hundred There is endless business for a ship to and from the Bohai Sea, and it is as rich as the sky... What are you talking about with me, one ship, two ships?"

Li Yun turned back and patted the box twice: "These goods are all yours. If you like them, I can deliver them immediately with the quantity of one or two. In the future, they can be shipped five times a month. Ten times, or even more! Dutong, no matter which item, food, cloth, medicinal materials, ironware, everything you can think of, we have it, can you eat it?"

Heshi Liehuan felt that Li Yun's tone was a bit contemptuous, but he couldn't refute it.

He was also from the Jurchens' Meng'an noble family, and he lived a prosperous life since he was a child. At this moment, it was the first time in his life that he felt embarrassed because of poverty.

Damn, it is said that the Han land is rich, but I really didn't expect it to be so rich!According to this kid, it turns out that the officials of the Zhongdu court all made their fortunes from this?

He Shi Liehuan Duan showed a rare cautious expression on his seemingly rough face.

He thought for a long time before he said: "If your side has such strength, then I really can't handle it all in Fuzhou. If you want to do bigger business, you have to cooperate with more people, you have to ask Propaganda envoys, recruitment envoys, and provincial marshals from all walks of life must participate. This is not easy."

Li Yun nodded: "Those things, there is an excuse to govern you. I am just a judge of the herd, and my family's Jieshuai is far away from the sea, so it may not be suitable for me to come to Liaodong to visit everywhere. , if you can bridge the gap for us, Dutong will definitely be a part of the business we do in the Northeast, how about it?"

Heshi Liehuan hesitated for a while.

If there is really a huge amount of supplies entering the Northeast, it will not only be for Heshi Liehuanduan and Wendihan Qinggou, but also for the recruitment envoy Wanyan Tiege who lives in Taizhou and is struggling, as well as Shangjing Province, which is being increasingly emptied by Puxian Wannu For Marshal Wan Yan Chengchong, there are great benefits.

But because of this, Heshi Liehuanduan would never allow these materials to flow into the hands of Yeluliuge or Puxian Wannu.Especially Puxian Wannu, Heshi Liehuanduan has always been wary of him.

But Puxian Wannu is indeed the newly appointed Liaodong Xuanfu envoy of the imperial court. If Shandong wants to sit on the land and distribute the fertilizer, it is common sense that he can't get around him.If you have to bypass it, you have to prove that apart from Puxian Wannu, you have a good partner in the Northeast, which is enough to satisfy Shandong.

In this regard, Heshi Liehuanduan is confident. He has not been an official in the Northeast for a long time, but his reputation has always been good, and he can talk to the tribal chiefs everywhere...

He glanced at Li Yun: "You just said that my share is indispensable. How much is this share?"

Li Yun laughed loudly: "One algorithm after another can always satisfy Dutong, but there is no rush. If Dutong really intends to cooperate, why don't we make a deal first, as the beginning of a great future plan?"

"what business?"

"If you want to do big things and make a lot of money, you have to have a decent place to stay. Just a camp is not enough. Why don't we allocate the entire land south of Hesihanguan to our navy?"

"Two boats." Heshi Liehuan stretched out two fingers: "cloth, medicinal materials, and armor, I want two boats first. There must be a hundred armors."
