Hanyan Bozhen from the Yalu River Department was standing on the small dock outside Hengzhou City and saw the fleet in the distance slowly approaching here.
At this moment, hundreds of female straight warriors were crowding on the pier, waiting for the ship to arrive.
A low-pitched exchange between the two Wanyan Department bosses, Wanyan Zongxiong and Wanyan Zongguo, soon came around.
"These people from the Song Dynasty came really fast. I'm afraid they have been eager to trade with our straight women's tribes..."
"It's natural. Many of the goods traded between the Song merchants and the Liao people are all tribute from our tribes. Moreover, the Liao people are greedy and their asking prices are much higher than ours."
"Otherwise, Gao Zhang, the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty who is only interested in profit, would not disregard his status as a senior official of the Song Dynasty and personally go out to make a profit."
"This is naturally a good thing for our Nvzhi tribes. After all, the Liao Kingdom has many supplies that they are unwilling to sell to our Nvzhi tribes, but the Song Kingdom does not pay attention to these..."
After the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, Wanyan Zongxiong signaled Wanyan Zonghan not to talk about these sensitive topics again.
He walked up to Na Hanyan Bozhen with a smile, bragging and trying to get along with the leader of the Yalu Water Tribe.
At this moment, Li Bangyan is here, communicating quietly but eagerly with several stewards of Duan's Trading Company.
The cargo of each ship must be clarified, and the other thing is to ensure that both property and goods are received.
This time, the Wanyan tribe was conducting exploratory trade. In addition to other goods, they also brought 400 horses for trade.
If this first trade goes smoothly, the next trade will be even richer.
When the stewards and accountants dispersed, Li Bangyan let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the steward on the ship who had just landed was walking quickly. Behind him, two people were supporting him, each carrying four large jars, walking quickly towards this side.
"I've met Manager Li. These are the special gifts from our Duan Trading Company to the Wanyan tribe: Shaodaozi wine."
"What a weird name. Who came up with this name?"
Li Bangyan looked at the wine jars with a strange look on his face, as well as the wine names written on the red paper attached to the outside of the wine jars.
#####
"The name of this wine was given by Zhuangyuan Gong, which means that this wine is very strong and extremely spicy.
Drinking this strong wine should be like a red-hot knife thrust directly into the belly. It is most suitable for drinking when the weather is bitterly cold in the North. "
"You actually have such talk about wine? I really opened my eyes."
Wanyan Zongxiong, who happened to be approaching quickly, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. He unceremoniously picked up a jar that could hold about five kilograms of fine wine, patted open the seal, and poked the seal with his finger. .
The strong and spicy smell of wine hit his nostrils instantly, causing Wanyan Zongyan to almost sneeze and drop the wine jar.
"The wine smells so good," Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath with eyes shining.
He reached over, put his hand on Li Bangyan's shoulder and winked.
"Let's go and try the Shaodaozi wine that your Duan's Trading Company got first. I'd like to learn from you how dare you use such a name for the wine."
As a social expert, Li Bangyan, who has long been a brother-in-law of Wanyan Zongxiong and Wanyan Zonghan these days, smiles boldly.
"This is a new product from Duan's Trading Company. It is said to be exclusive to warriors in bitter cold places. This is also the first time that Li has seen it.
Since I invited you, I also want to try it to see if this wine is worthy of its name. "
"This is natural. I like your temperament, Brother Li. You are so cheerful..."
The group of people headed towards Hengzhou, which was not far away. Li Bangyan, the female straight leaders of the Wanyan clan and the Hanyan clan ate large pieces of meat and drank from large bowls.
Although he also considered himself a drinker, he still couldn't resist the intensity of the knife-burning. Not only him, but also the leaders of the female straight men who lived in the bitter cold were almost completely destroyed.
It wasn't until noon the next day that everyone calmed down.
Regardless of whether the leaders of the Wanyan clan or the Hanyan clan suffered heavy setbacks from this strong drink, they became more courageous with each setback.
I even feel that this kind of burning knife that hurts their flesh is worthy of its name. Compared with this thing, other alcoholic drinks can be thrown away.

Finally, the fleet loaded with goods left the Hengzhou Pier under the watch of the nobles belching wine.
All the way south, after arriving at the mouth of the Yalu River, a fleet of sea-going ships will pick up and escort the fleet full of cargo, sailing directly to the Tema Island Country instead of directly entering the Central Plains.
Gao Zhang had long regarded Te Ma Island as his own back garden and private land.
And the leader of the Tamluo Kingdom on Tema Island was also very aware of his identity and status, and his cooperation was so skillful that it was heartbreaking.
The reason why this is so is because Tamna Kingdom has no human rights. At the beginning of the founding of Koryo, the prince of Tamna Kingdom was allowed to enter Korea, and the head of Tamna Kingdom was still canonized as "Star Lord" and "Prince".
King Sukjong of Goryeo (AD 1105) abolished the title of Tamna Kingdom and established Tamna County. But the problem was that a few years after it was established, Fang Fei arrived here with the extremely vicious private armed merchant fleet of the Song Dynasty.
It was also the fault of the Tamluo County Sheriff who was unlucky. Hearing that a merchant fleet had arrived, he happily led dozens of soldiers, intending to get some food and drink.
As a result, King Tamna was re-established, and the governor of Tamna and his accompanying soldiers sent by Goryeo must have encountered a storm at sea during the guarding period, and the entire team was lost.
Although others don't believe it, as long as the Lord Tamra believes it, and as long as the Koryo Kingdom dares not to believe it, this will be fine.
What's more, nowadays, Goryeo itself is already a little bit in trouble, mainly because of the straight women's tribes who frequently move southward, causing the Goryeo border to be frequently harassed.
Although Goryeo wanted to cry out to its overlord, the Song Dynasty, it also understood that there was still the Liao Dynasty between itself and the Song Dynasty.
The vulgar barbarians from the Liao Kingdom had always looked down on Goryeo, which claimed to be a small China, so naturally they could not stand up for justice.
In short, this Tema Island has now become an important cargo distribution center for Gaozhang's private maritime trade.
As for workers, it's very simple. All the people from the Tamra Island country can become workers.
And a large number of horses are transported here to graze. As for the lack of food, haha, it doesn't matter. A few sea ships will be enough to feed everyone on the island for a whole year.
In particular, goods trafficked from the north and Fuso Country will be screened and inspected here before setting off again to a new destination.
But Fang Fei is not here at the moment, but is walking on the newly built pier on Ezo Island...
