Xijin Prefecture, the southwest corner of Changlefang. The Suoludo Accounting and Sales Bureau occupies a very large but somewhat old yard here, which is used as a warehouse. Most of the houses are filled with fur that smells smelly.

I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by Guangmingjun, or if the odor in this yard is too heavy and it is not easy to live in. In short, there are few people living in this yard, and they are all Guangmingjun’s confidants.

This is probably the real stronghold of the Bohai pirates on Nanjing Road, right? It is really not easy to detect when the stronghold is arranged in the enemy's confidant!

Wu Haogu, who lives here, was thinking: These Bohai thieves have much better skills in secret work than themselves...

When he was thinking about learning from the Bohai thieves, Wu Haogu, who had changed into a Khitan-style robe, walked to the deepest "secret room" in the yard with his sleeves. He had lived in that "secret room" for almost half a month, and he had not left the yard for a second. He had never spoken to anyone except Guo Yaoshi, Zhong Ge'er, Lin Chong and Luo Hanbi.

However, he has not wasted his time. These days, he has been practicing martial arts with Zhong Ge'er and Lin Chong. Not only did he learn bows and arrows, but he also had to learn swords. Practicing bows mainly involves drawing bows. When asked Guo, a pharmacist, he wanted to use a soft bow to make martial arts good. Gu pulled the swords every day. It is said that this is very important. If you can't draw the sword and practice it well, you will have no way to start by stabbing people.

Wu Haogu, who had practiced drawing his sword for a whole morning, had already reached the door of the "secret room" where he lived. The door was pushed open, and a blond girl knelt softly on the ground and bowed to Wu Haogu: "I welcome the master."

The blonde girl is naturally Wu Haogu's Jurchen female slave Arhat maid. I don't know if this girl is born as a slave or has been trained by Guo Yaoshi's family. In short, she is very gentle and well-behaved, and she is absolutely obedient, and she can beat and scold her without any complaints...

What a tempting little girl.

However, Wu Haogu did not lose his vigilance because of this. This girl is a cruel Jurchen! And she was trained by the cunning and insidious Yaoshi Guo’s family. Maybe she is a female spy, so she can’t be seduced by her!

When she is brought back to Kaifeng Mansion, I must be questioned carefully...

"I will serve my master for dinner." The Arhat maid raised her body and looked at Wu Haogu with a smile.

Although Wu Haogu was not kind to her, the Arhat Maid liked this Song master from the bottom of his heart. The master was young and handsome, and he was a Song master. It was a blessing he had cultivated for several lifetimes after following him!

Even though Master Wu is sometimes a little fierce, the Arhat maid just likes it...

"Um!" Wu Haogu saw the happy appearance of the Arhat maid, and his face was already slapped. He didn't pay much attention to her and walked towards the dining table in the middle of the room.

The dining table is very short and there is no chair. It is not comfortable to sit on the ground. However, the food is quite delicious. It is carefully prepared by the Arhat Maid, including steamed lamb, fish sashimi, iron horn grass (a kind of wild vegetable) and beef. The main food is a kind of pancake, all made by the Arhat Maid.

"I'm going to prepare a bath water for you." Seeing Wu Haogu start to enjoy the food he made, the Arhat maid, who was filled with happiness, wanted to fetch water for Wu Haogu to prepare to take a hot bath.

"Wait a moment, let's talk to me for a while."

"Oh." The Arhat maid nodded happily.

She originally thought she was a slave who was qualified to sleep with her, but after following Wu Haogu for half a month, she was always treated as a maid, and she was a little depressed. Today, Wu Haogu didn't know why she wanted to talk to her... It seemed that she wanted to get close to her.

"Are you all the girls in Gesu Pavilion who are yellow-headed and blue-eyed?"

Wu Haogu had already asked Guo Yaoshi about the race of the Arhat maid. According to Guo Yaoshi, the Arhat maid is a girl from Gesuguan in Tiezhou. This woman has yellow hair and green eyes, and her skin is very white...

Yaoshi Guo seemed to be unintentional, but the audience Wu Haogu was very interested.

It turns out that there are a large number of female direct people in Gesu Pavilion in Tiezhou! And Guo Yaoshi's family is a big family in Tiezhou... His family cannot have nothing to do with female direct people, right? Maybe this guy has female direct bloodline!

"Yes," replied the Luohan maid, "We Gesu Pavilion's girl is also known as the yellow-headed girl, and most of them are like slaves."

The yellow-headed Jurchen turned out to be really a Russian... Wu Haogu remembers that there are records of the "yellow-headed Jurchen" in history. This group of people seemed to be strong soldiers in the Jin army, known as "hard army".

"Then are you mature women or have a daughter?"

"It's a mature woman," said Luo Hanmai, "We are all familiar households in Gesu's house."

"A familiar household?"

"If you have registered in the Great Liao Kingdom, you will be a mature woman. If you do not have a registered, you will be a straightforward girl."

It turns out that when giving birth to a girl, it is like this. Wu Haogu originally thought that giving birth to a girl and a mature woman was different from a different birth method. The farmer was a mature woman, and the hunting or nomadic one was a woman.

"Do you have many women in Gesu Pavilion?" Wu Haogu then inquired again.

“Many, so many, so many.”

Wu Haogu frowned and asked, "How many are there?"

"More than one hundred!" The Arhat maid answered seriously.

"How much is it?" Wu Haogu was very dissatisfied.

When the Arhat maid saw his master angry, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, forgive me for my crimes. I don't know how much more than a hundred..."

Don't recognize the numbers?

Why is it that a very big girl not familiar with it? Wu Haogu despised the national education of the Liao Dynasty in his heart, and then asked: "So... have you heard of the Wanyan tribe?"

"I've heard of it," the Luohan maid raised her head and showed a beautiful smile again, "I'm the surname Wanyan."

ah!

This girl is a terrible Jurchen Wanyan tribe!?

No, didn’t Wanyan’s tribe give birth to a daughter? Moreover, isn’t Gesu Pavilion’s tribe on the Liaodong Peninsula? Wanyan’s tribe should be in the Huntong River.

"You are lying!" Wu Haogu said angrily.

The Arhat Maid was a little confused and didn't understand Wu Haogu's words. She was honest and never lie. However, she still bowed obediently: "I am wrong, please punish me."

This can be punished? Wu Haogu shook his head: "Your surname cannot be Wanyan."

"What the master said is," Luohan maid thought for a while, nodded in agreement, "I have no surname...I just came from the Wanyan tribe of Gesu Pavilion, and after being sold to the Guo family, I have no surname."

Or Wanyan’s part?

"Are there many Wanyan tribes?" Wu Haogu felt that he might have blamed the Arhat maid wrongly.

"have no idea."

Don't know? Why are you a little confused?

Wu Haogu thought: Is this girl really confused or pretending to be confused?

"Then do you know how you were sold to the Guo family?"

"I know, the slave was sold because of the tribe's famine."

"You often have famine?" asked Takeogu, "Isn't the Tokyo Road rich in food?"

"The food is abundant on the plains. The tribes that were born in slaves are in the mountains and forests, and there is not much land to cultivate. They usually rely on fishing, hunting, and gathering herbs to make up. If they don't get much, they will be famine."

In fact, this is the so-called "Juchen Fishing and Hunting Tribe". It is not entirely fishing and hunting, but semi-fishing, semi-farming, and of course it also has animal husbandry. If it is completely fishing and hunting, the number of Jurchens would be too small and there would be no power to cause the collapse of the Liao Kingdom.

"Then the Guo family in Tiezhou is engaged in slave trading?" Wu Haogu asked about the situation at Guo Yaoshi's family again.

"The Guo family has done a lot of business," Luohan Maid thought about it carefully. "There is a lot of land in his family that can make a lot of food, and they can also make iron tools, and then use the food and iron tools to exchange things and slaves for the Female Tribe, and then sell them to the Han people..."

"Wait," Wu Haogu interrupted, "Rahan Maid, do you think the Female Tribe has something to exchange with the Guo family?"

"Yes, fur, falcon and medicinal herbs."

What the Luohanbi mentioned was actually a link in international trade in the 11th century. The female Naomin lived in the forest areas of Northeast Asia during this era, where fur, falcon, medicinal materials, Dongzhu and other items were all important export products of the Liao Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

Although the foreign trade of the Liao Kingdom was basically monopolized by the Han people, the Han people did not trade directly with the women directly. Instead, they collected furs, falcons, medicinal materials, Dongzhu and other items through the Bohai people, and then sold them to the Song Dynasty.

Because the Bohai people occupied the rich black soil and had channels to obtain iron tools, they could use a large amount of grain and iron tools to trade with female direct people, and also gained a lot of profits from it, allowing the Bohai Youn surname and some big families who did not belong to the Right surname to develop and maintain relative prosperity.

As for the female direct people, they can obtain a large amount of food from it to feed more people, and they can also obtain iron tools to arm themselves, and they gradually become stronger!

As for the Khitans, in order to obtain enough fur, falcon, medicinal materials, Dongzhu and other items to balance the trade with the Song Dynasty, they were more indulgent to the mature women. Otherwise, the Liao Dynasty would have a large outflow of copper coins and gold and silver.

Speaking of which, the Jurchens can rise, which is also an economic issue to some extent.

In contrast, the lives of the shubu people are much more difficult. What they export is nomadic products, which overlap with the Khitan tribe, and can be said to be competitors of the Khitans. Moreover, the most valuable horses among the nomadic products are export controlled commodities of the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, in the Liao Dynasty, the Khitans often used military forces against the shubu people or other prairie tribes on the grassland, but they rarely attacked the female direct people on a large scale.

"I understand," Wu Haogu thought for a while and waved his hand, "Go and prepare my bath water."

"Here." The Arhat maid responded, got up and left. Not long after she left, footsteps sounded outside the door again.

"Are you an Arhat maid?" Wu Haogu, who was eating, asked.
