Wanda Tilezi, inside the Golden Arch Tower.

"Brother Kesheng, you are the head of state here? I'm not respectful, I'm not respectful!"

Before Kaifeng dishes were put on the table, Aguda had already figured out that the young man in front of him who had hit the mark at first sight was the head of the Jiehe City, which was so fat that it made people drool!

"It's just a small mall," Wu Haogu replied with a smile, "How can it be compared with your Grand Master who has thousands of iron cavalry across the white mountains and black waters?"

Agu smiled and said, "There is no bad place in Kesheng. Such a big city is not even worse than the Khitan Liaoyang Mansion. Moreover, the houses here are beautiful, all red, they look really good, and the people are rich. They all wear silk and satin. The food they eat is good, but the soldiers are too weak... Kesheng, aren't you afraid that other heads of state will lead their troops to rob them?"

Another head of state? Wu Haogu thought: Does this great monk Wanyan regard the head of state as the leader of the tribe?

Also, why did other heads of state lead troops to rob? Didn’t we agree to national integration and national unity?

"Monk, do you think this place is the same as the territory of the birth of a young master, and they fight and kill all day long?" Guangmingjun held a cup of Yunwu tea and interrupted with a smile, "The Song people value literature and over military affairs. They only like to study, farm and do business, and do not like to kill and set fire."

"Then we can't be without heroes fighting!" A Gu cleaned up Lin Chong and Zhou Yunqing who were sitting on the mat with Wu Haogu, and smiled and said, "But I see that the two followers of Kesheng are both heroes, so they must be Mouke from Kesheng, right?"

Wu Haogu did not hide it, and admitted with a smile: "These two are indeed heroes. Although our shopping mall is in a peaceful and peaceful territory, we still know the truth that war will inevitably lead to danger.

It’s not that I’m boasting, if there are really no eyes thieves coming to fight Jiehe Commercial Market, Jiehe Commercial Market can also tell them that they will never come back!"

Wu Haogu's words sound like bragging, but in fact they are the truth! Jiehe Shang City is the strongest place in Hebei's two routes. Aguda felt that the soldiers here were weak, just because he did not go to the "College District" outside the city to see it.

1,000 former knights were being trained there. It was definitely too much to say that they were the strongest cavalry in the Song Dynasty at present, but no one can compare with them in the entire sequence of the imperial guards in Hebei and Kaifeng!

In addition to these 1,000 former knights, Wu Haogu's other gold medal thug team, the "Wu Zu Legion" is also in the process of taking shape.

After the establishment of Jiehe Shang City, the channel for purchasing young slaves through Liao merchants was completely opened. Therefore, Wu Haogu accelerated the pace of purchasing small grassland slaves. A book "Thousand Characters" is almost full (Wu Haogu's slave soldiers all took Wu as their surname and used the names in "Thousand Characters" as their name). These children are now handed over to Zhou Tong's disciples who fled from Kaifeng Prefecture. They established a Jiehe Boxing Gym in Jiehe City (on the land of Liao Kingdom) to train these young men in the name of training pouncers and charity soldiers.

Wu Haogu’s original plan was to train the "slave soldiers" into cavalry, but Wu Haogu now has a more reliable knight source, "backup" of the former knights (the knight family cannot have only one knight), so he changed the plan and trained these small slaves in the path of heavy infantry.

In addition, Jiehe Academy (Liuyi Academy), Yuntai Academy Jiehe Branch, and Yuntai Academy Jiehe Shipbuilding School will be opened one after another in the near future. At that time, Jiehe Commercial City will have the ability to train low-level officers in batches...

...

When the wine and food were all served, Aguda had no time to talk to Wu Haogu, and there was no time to enjoy the fine wine and food!

However, Wu Haogu was not very interested in the table of oil and water and liquor, but talked about business with Guangmingjun.

"Customer Province wants to buy wheat from Liaodong? How much does it take?"

Guangmingjun’s request for Wu Haogu was not too surprised, because the population of Jiehe Market is increasing now, so many people have to eat! The grain price on Hebei East Road is not low, it is much more expensive than Tokyo Road in Liaodong!

"It takes 1 million stones a year."

"So many?" Guangmingjun was stunned. "How many people are there in Jiehe Commercial City in Guest Province?"

"It's almost 100,000." Wu Haogu smiled, "and it's still increasing, and the food is not enough to eat. In addition, Jiehe also needs to brew wine immortals, which costs a lot of food... Guangmingjun, can each family in the Bohai Youn family on Tokyo Road evenly pay 1 million stones? The price is easy to say."

"Of course there is food," Guangmingjun frowned slightly, "There are countless fertile land on Tokyo Road, and less than one tenth of it has been cultivated, and even many of this tenth are often abandoned.

But can the Guest Province find so many ships to transport the 1 million stone of grain? The Guest Province probably doesn’t know that for the Bohai people in Liaodong, farming and paying food is not a big burden. What really makes them suffer is the corvee service for transporting grain... It is really hard to build ships and transport grain into Xijin Mansion."

One million stone of grain sounds like a lot, but for the black soil in the Northeast, planting 300,000 mu of wheat is enough for the black soil to produce grain and cultivate for nearly two thousand years. The Central Plains yellow soil, which has long been exhausted, is not the same thing!

So there is 1 million stone of grain, but it is very difficult to transport the 1 million stone of grain from Liaodong.

As for the reason for the difficulty of transportation, it is actually not that the Liaodong Road is too difficult. Most of the land on the Tokyo Road of Liao Kingdom has not been reclaimed, and the land reclaimed is on the Liaohe Plain near the Bohai Bay. But the problem is that the Liao Kingdom does not have developed commercial transportation, which is mainly transported by official corvee.

The matter of corvee transportation is difficult to organize on land, let alone going into the sea. The servants collected by the Liaodong Road government did not know what shipbuilding and sailing? Even the fishermen living by the sea could not build sea boats that could sail far away. The result of relying solely on the Liao government's reckless work was that the errands from the Liaodong sea to the Yanyun became the most hated thing for the people of Bohai in Liaodong. The Dayanlin uprising in the early years was related to this matter!

"You don't have to transport the grain," Wuhao Ancient Road, "I arranged for the Wu family's merchant ship to Chenzhou to ship it."

Chenzhou is the second largest port in Liaodong Road, second only to Suzhou. It is located near the estuary of the Liao River and is also the main port for the western transportation of Liao grain. It is known as "the Jingyi parallel line and the most junction."

Guangmingjun nodded and said, "That's right... If you are lucky yourself, then not to mention 1 million stones, even if you have more than 1 million stones, it will be no problem. However, my little connections among the families of the You family in Bohai can only ensure that the food can be planted and transported to Chenzhou City.

As for transporting it out of Chenzhou, I can't take care of it."

Chenzhou is a Jiedu military prefecture, and the person in charge of the Chenzhou Fengguo Army Jiedushi. This yamen Guangmingjun cannot be cleared, but it is not difficult for Wu Haogu to defeat him. He has a way, so spend some money to clear him.

"Just transport it to Chenzhou." Wu Haogu smiled, "As for the price of grain, when the pharmacist and the monk return north, I will send the manager of the Su family's grain store to follow me. How about the interview with the families of the right surname of Bohai?"

"Okay," Guangmingjun nodded, "I wrote a few letters and asked the pharmacist to take them to the families of the right surname of Bohai... You Song people spend money to buy food, how can we Bohai people not sell it?

However, I don’t know when the matter between me and the pharmacist in Jiehe will be possible? Maybe it will delay the customers and save money to buy food."

"Oh?" Wu Haogu smiled immediately, "I wonder why Guangmingjun came to Jiehe in the south?"

"Hi, isn't it just to sell some animal skin medicinal materials?" A Gu, who was eating and drinking, asked about Wu Haogu's problem and interrupted, "It's not a big deal this year. The animal skin medicinal materials can't be sold at a price. It took half a year for the men from the Tiger Water Department to get so many good things."

Since last year, the Jurchens and the Koreans have sold animal skins and medicinal materials to the Song Dynasty market to cash out, and the supply and demand relationship naturally became unbalanced.

"Oh," Wu Haogu nodded slightly, "I have heard of this. There are a lot of animal skin medicinal materials on the market in the past two years. The pharmacies and leather goods in the State of Song cannot eat them at all... Master, do you know what's going on?"

"Isn't it just to raise money to fight?" A Gu sighed and showed a solemn expression. "The old emperor of Liao Kingdom died, and the country is not stable. The king of Goryeo is ambitious and wants to invade the land of our Jurchens. In order to raise military expenses, he will sell fur and medicinal materials to you. Naturally, we Jurchen men refused to be slaves of Goryeo, so they had to rise up to prepare for war, collect more herbs and hunt, and get them to you."

Wu Haogu noticed a worried expression on Aguda's face and asked curiously: "Is the Goryeo... very strong?"

"How isn't it strong?" Guangming Jun said slowly, "From the third year of the Shengzong Tonghe to the eighth year of Kaitai, the Liao Kingdom tried its best to attack, but in the end it was not able to gain any advantage. In particular, the battle between the sixth and seventh year of Kaitai ended with the 100,000 army of Liao Kingdom. Tianyun and the second army of the Right Pishi were seriously injured. The remote tent was carefully stabilized Aguoda, the guest province envoy Zhugu, the Bohai Sea was carefully stabilized, and the Tianyun Army was seriously injured in the battle!

The Liao Kingdom's vast army cannot beat Goryeo. It is not easy to have thousands of Jurchen tribes, so it is not easy to resist Goryeo. I am afraid that this war will eventually turn into another round of decisive battle between Goryeo and the Great Liao!"

"So that's it..." Wu Haogu thought to himself: Obviously, the Jurchens and the Bohai people overestimated the Goryeo people, and most of the Khitans did not expect that the Jurchens had been so fierce that they could defeat the entire country of Goryeo with thousands of people.

All parties misjudged before this war. After the end of the Goryeo-Jurchen War, the prestige of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe should be established, which is enough to order the Jurchen tribes to give birth to various Jurchen tribes.

"Let's do this," Wu Haogu thought for a while and said to Aguda, "Since you are friends with me, you can buy these fur and medicinal herbs at a price for the big monk."

"This..." Aguda smiled embarrassedly. Wu Haogu didn't wait for him to speak, and then said, "But please do me a favor, so we can help each other."
