The rainy season, which has highs and lows, is the season when you can see some rain and dew in various places in the north.
The damn rainy season will destroy a large number of buildings and bring huge disasters, but without this rainy season, the entire northern border will have to worry about water in the next year.
Fortunately, in the Wu Dynasty, the canals, rivers, and city pipes repaired by the past dynasties can somewhat mitigate the impact of heavy rains. Not to mention that after nearly a year of work-for-relief, a large amount of rainwater will be stored to provide rainwater for the coming year. Prepare for scarce years.
But outside the territory of the Wu Dynasty, it really can only be judged. If the ancient rivers and natural ditches in the mountains cannot comb the swollen rivers, the mountain torrents will change their course and destroy everything, or the floods will cause unimaginable destructive power. .
The rumbling thunder was accompanied by big raindrops falling continuously. Fortunately, the equation ran fast, otherwise it would have been another drowning today.
"gentlemen!"
Xiaohu served a cup of butter tea to drive away dampness.
The North lacks water vapor all year round, and the feeling of dampness and coldness should not appear in the North. However, because of the towering Taihang Mountains, it blocks the water vapor from continuing to travel westward. As a result, whenever there are heavy rains in the North, there must be multiple rainstorms, one coming from the east. The weather comes from the west and alternates repeatedly. When you are unlucky, it is normal to not see the sun for ten days. Since then, a unique climate similar to the "Huang Mei Tian" in the south has been formed. This climate has been called "Huang Mei Tian" in the north. Call it a "drought day."
As for the Bingzhou and Liangzhou areas in the west of the Taihang Mountains, most of the water used in the four seasons relies on melted water from the snowy mountains, forming two completely different lifestyles.
"You haven't always wanted the answer, so why didn't you go?" Fang Fang took a sip of the dehumidifying butter tea. It tasted slightly salty, but the appropriate saltiness just relieved the greasiness of the tea oil and milk.
"I've got the answer from sir!" Xiaohu said with a smile, "I never doubt sir, so naturally I don't need to see the result!"
Fang Fang picked up the teacup, raised it towards Xiaohu, and agreed, "You're getting better and better at talking, keep it up, I'm very optimistic about you!"
After drinking half the cup of butter tea in one gulp, Fang Fang wiped his mouth and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
All joking aside, things still have to be done.
Xiaohu is the person that her sister arranges to help her, and he is also the person responsible for his own safety. If nothing is wrong, how could he disappear for a few hours for no reason.
"I think we may be in trouble!" Xiaohu glanced towards the east.
"trouble?"
Fang Fang followed Xiaohu's gaze, "I don't think there will be any trouble?"
Qinggutun is far closer to Yuyang than Tai'an City, and it is much closer. It only takes more than one day for the same Tang newspaper to fall into the hands of Fang Fang, while it takes three days to enter Tai'an City.
Some information about the situation of the Jurchens that Tai'an City has not yet known, Fang Fang has long known.
The war between Wu Dynasty and Jin Kingdom is over!
In order to reform the Jurchen ethnic group, the Wanyan family took the entire Jurchen clan into their own hands. When Wanyan Aguda was still in power, they began to promote Sinicization within the ethnic group and prepared for the establishment of the Jin Kingdom for the Jurchens and the establishment of the capital Xuantu.
The three members of the Wanyan family, whether Wanyan Wenqi, Wanyan Kangtai, or the emperor kidnapped by Landi, fought and fought, and they all firmly promoted the work of Chineseizing the ethnic group.
It seems that only through large-scale sinicization can the Jurchens prosper like the Khitan and Liao people, and it seems that only in this way can they escape the fate of the Xianbei people.
As for the purpose of doing so, the Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains have long seen through. The selfishness and simple purpose is to firmly grasp the Jurchen's dominance in their own hands.
If not, the Kingdom of Jin would not have been trapped by Wu Chao's move.
In order to save the young emperor of the Jin Kingdom who was politically dead but still existed legally, the Wanyan family had chosen to surrender and began to communicate with Nian Run. According to the news from the Documents Department, they even continued to track Lan. Di's actions also relaxed.
Everything is developing for the better, so what's the trouble?
"The day before yesterday, the envoy representing Wanyan Kangtai had a secret meeting with Nian Run. During the meeting, the envoy made three demands. First, he would acquiesce in his ascending to the throne of the Jin Dynasty. Second, the household market would be opened. Third, the Jurchens hoped to establish a new business in Yuyang. Establish a futures market to trade medicinal materials from Beishan Baishui!"
Xiaohu clapped his fingers and said, "For this, they are willing to pay no more than one million taels in war compensation, and at the same time sign a fifteen-year border contract with us!"
In essence, household markets are the exploitation of grasslands by the Central Plains.
It's just that stupid people can't see this, and smart people also have their own selfishness. This makes it difficult to fundamentally resolve the contradictions after the opening of the household market in the past dynasties. Instead, it keeps accumulating, making the opening of the household market larger and longer. , the contradiction between the grassland aliens and the Han people has become increasingly irreconcilable.
Among them, the most exploited ones are all kinds of rare medicinal materials, especially those in the northwest grasslands and the white waters of the Black Mountains.
If the price merchants charge for prairie mutton in the household market is the price of carrion, then the price merchants charge for medicinal materials is the price for collecting weeds. But mutton is easy to process, but medicinal materials are not.
"This is not equal!"
Three demands, two sacrifices, why do you feel that the winner of this war is not the Wu Dynasty, but the Jurchens?
"What's the solution? All dynasties have fought against the grasslands with the same result. Of course, even if they lose, it doesn't matter. As long as the grassland cavalry cannot enter the Great Wall and only need to pay some food and cloth, Wanyan Wenqi can offer a compensation of one million taels. Looking at the compensation from various grassland ministries, it is actually a lot. If it were the Jurchens who had not yet established a country, they might not be given a penny. They would go directly to the Xianbei grassland and get nothing by then!" Xiaohu trembled. Shaking shoulders.
"This is the consequence of wearing shoes!" Fang Fang said sharply.
Who asked the Jurchens to promote Chinese culture and establish their capital in Xuantu? With the capital of Xuantu, the Jurchens established a relatively stable rule. At the same time, they also gave up their nomadic characteristics. If they couldn't escape, wouldn't they have to pay for it?
"Isn't that what it is? We need to get out now. We can't keep the news from the North for long. Now the news has spread in the grassland. If Wanyan Wenqi wants to take the position, he must get to that position before the news spreads throughout the grassland. We have to guard against the Song people. Once the news spreads out of the Xianbei grassland and the Liao people know about it, it will take at most ten days for the Song people to react. People have seen this!"
The reality was very helpless. The Wu Dynasty cut off the news channels at sea and within the country, and took advantage of the merchants returning south to throw out their trump cards, but they could not stop the information on the grassland.
The Liao people peeked at the Song people, but they were very open to business. It would be impossible not to open up. Without the Song Dynasty caravans, no one could help the Liao people digest the treasures from the Silk Road.
"I haven't paid attention to the medicinal materials, but I think they shouldn't be too expensive. Since someone asked you to send me a message, they will definitely mention it, so tell me!"
The unit price of medicinal materials is high, but there are so few medicinal materials. It is difficult to give an answer to the equation if we don’t understand it comprehensively.
