"What about the futures market? Thinking about it makes my head hurt!"
The Tatar Khan took off his hat and grabbed two handfuls of hair.
Something is wrong with Wu Ren during this period, very wrong, giving people the feeling of becoming a Song Dynasty.
Hushi was the lifeblood of the warriors. In the past, no one was allowed to touch it. In order to get some good things, people from the eastern grasslands had no choice but to go to the territory of the Liao people. Not to mention the risks of a round trip, it also cost a lot of money. .
If it weren't for the Wu people's household market that could provide salt, rice, and tea to digest their lambs and horses, no one would have wanted to play with the Wu Dynasty.
As a result, without warning, the Wu Dynasty opened the market and allowed merchants from all over the world to do business.
When the news spread to the grassland, countless people couldn't touch their heads.
This is not over yet, now we still need to engage in those Laoshizi futures.
Knowing that the Central Committee of the Wu Dynasty had not changed, they almost suspected that the senior officials of the Wu Dynasty had been kidnapped by the Song people.
"We Han people have an old saying, if you are poor, you will think of change, if you are poor, you will be diligent, and if you are rich, you will think of distance. Among the five great dynasties of the Han people in the Central Plains, the Wu Dynasty was the poorest, especially in the past twenty years. After the War to Protect the Country, the Wu Dynasty had been the poorest for forty years. Without the use of force, the three generations of people not only made up for the losses in the war to protect the country, but also pushed the Wu Dynasty's population to 20 million. In order to feed such a large population, the Wu Dynasty needed to buy six million stones of rice from the Central Plains every year. , bought millions of cattle and sheep from the grassland!”
"Stop blabbering, isn't it just that there is no food to eat? I understand!"
The Tatar Khan threw his hat aside, "You Han people are just troublesome. You have nothing to eat. No matter what the reason, I would just grab it. Isn't that what Zeng Jin's warriors did?"
"Are you asking for shame now?"
The bloodline of the grassland people is different from that of the warriors, but since they were beaten and subdued by the warriors, the Han attributes of the warriors have been gradually stripped away by the grassland people.
If it weren't for the slight difference in appearance, in their eyes, Takeruto would be the same type of person.
"That's why we started a war to protect the country!" Han Nu said with a playful smile.
The changes in warriors are the most uncomfortable for them.
The leaders of the grassland tribes raised them not because they had read books or had brains, but purely because they understood the Han people better than the grassland people, and they also understood the warriors better.
As a result, the warriors changed their gameplay and started to play business and market like the people of Song Dynasty. How could they analyze it?
If your analysis is wrong, your head will be chopped off.
"snort!"
A cold snort, "Stop talking nonsense, you just need to tell me what you would do next!"
Luo Li, he, the Tatar Khan, is also a well-educated person, and his staff should do their own work, instead of trying to explain everything to him like a teacher.
"I think we should follow up and reject the Jurchens' proposal at the same time!"
Feeling that the Tatar Khan's patience was about to run out, Han Nu quickly said, "All the herdsmen on the pasture know that once the cattle go wild and rush in one direction, any method can be used before the cattle group's strength is exhausted. No matter how hard it is, the herd will not be stopped, let alone turn around. The warriors of the past were like running cattle, and anything that stood in their way would be cut to pieces by the warrior's butcher knife!"
"Forty years ago, the war to protect the country was simply because the warriors had been waging war for many years, and the national power was exhausted!"
Hearing this, Tatar Khan couldn't help but agree, "That's true. If it weren't for Wu Ren's pace back then, Wu Ren wouldn't have lost at all!"
Forty years ago, the military power and national power of the Wu Dynasty reached their peak. It can be said that it was the most prosperous period of the Wu Dynasty for three hundred years.
It's a pity that prosperity covers everything, and supreme military achievements cover the eyes of warriors.
If there is not enough food, let the people of Song Dynasty pay tribute!
If there are not enough cattle and sheep, send troops to grab them!
Wu Ren didn't notice at all that in the shadow of the prosperous age, no one was cultivating the land, no one was raising the pastures, everyone was immersed in the glory of the future, and the women and children who stayed at home were already unable to bear the burden of production.
"Cows and sheep can't learn from experience, but warriors can. Not only that, for forty years warriors have been trying to eliminate things they shouldn't have learned in order to survive in their early years, and at the same time pick up the advantages of being Han people. This has continued from the imperial examination status You can see it if you raise it!”
"The warrior with the sword is very scary! So for forty years, the Song Dynasty has been blocking the Wu Dynasty and suppressing its national power. In addition to the regret of not getting Hexi, they were afraid that the warrior would come back with revenge. They were even more afraid that the warrior would pick up the book again, so he wanted to Force, force the warrior to go crazy and go back to the path of militarism!"
"And now it is obvious that Wu Chao picked up the book, a scroll in one hand, and a knife in the other. This is no longer scary, but terrifying!"
As he said this, Han Nu couldn't help but swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.
The words were made up temporarily to deal with the Tatar Khan, but when the words came out, everyone was shocked by the scene.
"Strong man?"
The Tatar Khan looked horrified.
Since ancient times, the grassland people were most afraid of the Han people. It was not only the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but he used a scroll in one hand and a butcher knife in the other to attack and plot with force. The Huns, the overlord of the grassland at that time, fled to the Western Regions and did not dare to look back.
"You go down first, I need to think carefully!" Tatar Khan waved his hand.
He was really frightened by what he thought.
His ancestors had already told him how terrifying the Huns were.
There is no need to think about how strong the strong man who defeated the Huns was.
Warriors have always flaunted themselves as strong men, but everyone knows that a strong man is a strong man, and a warrior is a warrior. The two are not equal. What is missing, it is difficult to tell clearly at the moment.
Maybe it's just that there is a volume of book missing in my hand.
But no matter what it is, Wu Ren is not something that a little Khan like him can provoke. He only wanted to take advantage of both sides when receiving the Jurchen envoys, and never intended to actually send troops. But as the memory deep in his bloodline emerged, that point The little thought has obviously been snuffed out.
Cooperation is a must!
Even if he has no money, he still has to cooperate. He is not willing to face a strong man who picks up books again.
…
With more people comes greater strength. In order to build the basic frame before the arrival of the merchants, Fang Fang and his team mobilized 3,800 laborers, three meals and three meals a day, and the three-month construction period was 4,000 taels of silver.
Together with all kinds of materials and tools, the buildings in Qinggu Tun have just been moved, and the ledger has already supported five thousand taels of silver.
Prices are prices, expenses are expenses.
"These are all small accounts!"
Looking at Shang Zhong who handed over the account book, Fang Fang waved his hand, "Doing big things while cherishing money is putting the cart before the horse. Qinggutun is a facade and must have matching decorations and decorations. Guangchang's conditions are limited, even if it cannot be magnificent, To be grand, at least to create a pattern and atmosphere, you must know that the price of the same product is completely different whether it is placed in a small shop or a large shop!"
"Second is safety. We not only want people to spend money, but also want people to feel at ease when they spend money. The more you invest now, the less you will invest in the future!"
Choosing Qinggutun is because of its geographical location.
Qinggutun is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The stream flows down from the mountain stream and merges into a river three hundred paces wide. There is a small earth bag on the other side of the river. If you set up a tower, you can see dozens of miles of grassland.
There are two exits in the north and south. The northern exit is a river beach. Due to the seasonal changes in the grassland, the entry is blocked by abundant water and can be opened by shallow water. The southern exit is narrow and long, with the narrowest point less than 30 steps and the widest only 130 steps, like A gourd.
The founders of Qinggutun chose this place obviously because of its safety.
