"Come to Haizhou to worship ancestors?"

Cai Jing gently turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Wu Haogu, "Dalang, tell me, what is he here to do?"

Of course, Wu Yanchong came to buy weapons or iron tools!

Because of the death of the old emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom will not use military force to the outside world for the time being. Yelu Yanxi has to be busy cleaning up the inside - there are too many enemies who have killed his father!

Therefore, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jurchens who were gradually unifying naturally had to fight. Although in the eyes of later Chinese people, the Wang Goryeo and the Li Korean North Korea were so insignificant, but Wang Yong, who is now in power in Goryeo, did not have such inferiority.

This Suzong of Goryeo felt that he was still very capable. After usurping the throne and seizing the country, he imitated the Song Dynasty and launched a new policy in China, minting copper coins, accumulating wealth, and building Nanjing (Seoul in later generations). He also tried to incorporate the Danluo Kingdom into the territory of Goryeo, and also worshipped Jizi as the ancestor of the Three Hans for sacrifices. Of course, sacrificed Jizi was to show the purity and nobility of Goryeo blood. Jizi was from the royal family of the Shang Dynasty and the dignified Chinese nobles. It is of course more respectful to recognize such an ancestor than to recognize any lord.

In addition, this wise Goryeo king was also very good at plundering the wealth of merchants. Compared to Wang Anshi, Lu Jiawen was much better than Wang Anshi. According to Wu Shi, who was later sent to Goryeo (1103), the Goryeo king was "greedy and stingy, and he was willing to seize merchants and profits. He broke the law in his wealthy family and was responsible for redeeming them for a long time. Even if he was a minor crime, he would lose several pounds of silver" - that is, he would arrest the rich businessmen in the country and extort ransom!

By the way, the merchants in Goryeo are much worse than those in the Song Dynasty. Although Goryeo also learned from the Song Dynasty's imperial examinations and emphasized culture over military affairs, the aristocratic politics of Goryeo was based on the family manors, with official business as the auxiliary, and private business was extremely underdeveloped. Moreover, the execution ability of Goryeo civil servants who came from the manor family was not comparable to that of the poor civil servants of the Song Dynasty. They were assisted by a large number of people, and they were assisted by a large number of people. That was the real magistrate of the family and the magistrate of the family. The prefectures and county magistrates of the Song Dynasty often could not even deal with local lawsuits, so it was difficult to eliminate the real powerful merchants, let alone destroy the family...

In short, with the efforts of the famous Goryeo king and famous officials from ordinary families, the Goryeo court has now plundered a lot of precious metals and stocked up a lot of fur and ginseng, which is enough to support a large-scale war!

Oh, by the way, the Goryeo Kingdom now has a system of government troops with family members as the core, similar to the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, but the equal-field system has been completely destroyed. However, the authority of the famous Goryeo king is still large enough to mobilize many free cannon fodder through the family manors, and military rations can also be distributed to the family manors. Therefore, the cost of fighting is still relatively low, and the court only needs to prepare some weapons and equipment.

Of course, the weapons and equipment of Goryeo or the raw materials for manufacturing weapons and equipment had to be purchased from the neighboring country with very developed handicrafts in the Song Dynasty.

After all, the Goryeo country itself does not have a developed handicraft industry, and the government system is easy to recruit a large number of cannon fodder soldiers, so how to equip them is always a difficult problem.

"I should be here to buy weapons or iron tools! I just got the news and reported to the official when I enter the palace tomorrow. I guess I will have to go on the road with Tong Guan this time."

Wu Haogu didn't hide it from Cai Jing anymore. He and Cai Jing are now accomplices!

In addition, Tong Guan and Wu Haogu, who are now engaged in activities and exchanges, are also half of the accomplices - how can they interact with some "thieves"?

"This is a big deal!" Wu Haogu paused and said with a smile, "And it is a long-term transaction that can deal with a lot of junk that is produced by military weapons."

The weapons produced by military weapons supervision and local school institutes in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty were very poor! There were problems in the three dynasties of Zhenzong, Renzong and Yingzong. According to Ouyang Xiu's report, "there are no exquisite tools that are useful" were basically shoddy and inferior products. However, the quantity has accumulated a lot of workshops, which are manufactured every year by the school, and the Western Army dare not use them. Kaifeng and Hebei imperial guards were too lazy to use them, so they accumulated them in the warehouse and let them decay.

If you can sell a little and recover some costs, you can enrich the country.

"The military weapon jail?" Cai Jing smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Dalang, your words are a bit hurtful. If it is spread, someone will definitely participate in your book!"

"What the bachelor said is very true," Wu Haogu hurriedly bowed, "The official made a mistake."

Cai Jing touched his beard and frowned and asked, "But... can those military weapon jailers really be sold?"

"Yes!" Wu Haogu smiled, "No matter how bad it is, it is still a military weapon. It is better than nothing. If the Jiehe Maritime Bureau can be handled, the subordinates can ask someone to repair the rags made from the military weapon prison, and they can always fool them."

The so-called renovation is of course also a cover! The real purpose of Wu Haogu is to establish a military industry in Jiehe Commercial City.

To establish a military industry, it is not possible to find a few ironsmiths to handle it. Now, there are 72 works (workshops) under the Military Equipment Supervisor, and craftsmen under the East and West Workshops and the East and West Workshops under the Military Equipment Supervisor alone, with a total of 72 works (workshops), with a quota of 70,000 or 8,000 craftsmen!

Although Wu Haogu is rich now and has also set up a huge Republican business, he has no experience in running such a large-scale handicraft workshop. The handicraft workshops run by the Republic are Chenliu's printing workshops, the brewing workshops and brick kilns in Jiehe Market. They are all relatively simple workshops and do not have the possibility of converting military production.

In addition, the production of weapons is not a joke! In particular, large-scale production is easy to make people misunderstand the rebellion. There must be a meaningful name - such as exporting weapons to the Goryeo AIA of the Song Dynasty, and it cannot start from manufacturing, but only from repair.

And the Jurchen-Goryeo War, which is likely to last for many years, can be said to be the best opportunity for Wu Haogu to establish an ordnance industry in Jiehe.

If the operation is done properly, perhaps by the time the Jurchens rose in Liaodong, Jiehe Market would have already had a complete set of practically tested military industrial chains.

Cai Jing didn't know Wu Haogu's thoughts, but he still frowned, "Dalang! This matter is too easy to give people a handle! That Jiehe Market is a bit out of line. If Jiehe Market has the right to operate military weapons, aren't you afraid that someone will falsely abuse you for rebellion?"

"Yes!" Pan Xiao'an also agreed with Cai Jing's opinion, "The officials believe you are good now, but you can't go too far... You are a military officer after all, and this dynasty is guarding against military personnel."

He was very satisfied with his current situation. He had too much money to spend. As for the officials... It was a matter of time before the three yamen were in charge of the army. A "beautiful official" (that is, the governor who fell behind, the ranks, the troupe training, etc.) was almost certain. And Wu Haogu's future is no less than this, so why are you trying to make trouble?

"Longtu, Eleventh Brother," Wu Haogu had his own excuse, "You are too worried! The official family is the saint, and he wants to pacify Liao and destroy Xia... If we want to be favored for a long time, we have to achieve our long-term wish for the official family.

Jiehe Commercial Market was originally built for the Liao Dynasty, and there was nothing wrong with Jiehe Market and the Shipbuilding Department there. If you have mastered the craftsmen, you can serve the Northern Expedition Army in the future.

As for selling weapons to the Goryeo Kingdom, it is the key to the Liao Dynasty and restore Yan Dynasty. If the Goryeo Kingdom can destroy the Jurchen tribes, it will definitely dominate the sea east and reappear. By then, the two Khitan Goryeo tigers will fight each other, and I will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the Song Dynasty.

The official family is a saint. As long as we do what we do, how can the official family be confused by the slander of the treacherous ministers and villains?"

Cai Jing thought to himself: Now the treacherous ministers and villains in the court are the number one in Wu Dalang... You can do such a big thing for the official family now. It seems that you should not take the Jinshi exam, otherwise you should be the prime minister in another ten years! What will I do then? Will you be with you?

"Dalang's words are reasonable," Gao Qiu agreed with Wu Haogu. "Now is the time to make achievements, so I am afraid of villains. And where are there villains around the official family?"

Yes, how could there be a villain around Zhao Ji? Who is a villain? Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu, two guys who can share the "miss three" with Zhao Ji, have never seen a villain before...

Wu Haogu looked at Cai Jing seriously, "Bachelor, your qualifications can be entered into the Political Affairs Hall long ago, even the Prime Minister can do it. But the officials are still unwilling to make great use of it. It's just that you don't have a big plan to restore Liao and Yan!

Now the official has long been dissatisfied with Fan Chunli, and the external responsibilities are only a matter of time. If you can offer a plan to assist Litulia in time, a deputy prime minister will be at your fingertips."

His relationship was so smooth! Cai Jing's future in history was four times, he became the Grand Tutor, and served as the seventeenth priest in power, and finally became the "head of the Six Thieves"!

Cai Jing thought for a while, and had already made up his mind, nodded and said, "Dalang, you are right... Nowadays, the government can be trusted. You are the ones who reward him and are definitely trustworthy. And you are also devoted to the government and are a rare capable minister. How can the villain shake the slander of a villain?

I have figured out what you said. Let's go and do it. When you and Wu Yanchong have an agreement, I will talk for you in the court, and there will be no mistakes."

Wu Haogu has now taken the task of "north grain transportation in the south", so he naturally cannot stay in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time. So the date of his departure from Beijing has been set, on the ninth day of the ninth month. And he will go out with Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing, and will bring two young children and pregnant Oliga with him. The whole family will go to Haizhou first. After Wu Haogu has arranged enough grain and sea transportation, he will take Ximen Qing north to Jiehe.
