The war in Guangnan came more suddenly than expected and developed faster than expected.
The development of the situation completely exceeded everyone's prediction. They did not expect that the South Vietnamese would actually take action. Jiaozhi was dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty, but they did not dare to do it seriously.
What seemed like a conflict between local tribes suddenly escalated overnight and turned into a large-scale war between two countries.
South Vietnam's invasion of Guangnan was equivalent to declaring war on the Song Dynasty!
The conflict between South Vietnam and the Song Dynasty was mainly concentrated in Wozhoudong on the borders of Guangyuan and Qiyuan.
South Vietnam has always wanted to incorporate Guangyuan and several other places into its own territory and exercise jurisdiction over them. The Song Dynasty also ignored this and ignored the ambiguity and turmoil in this area.
However, Guangyuan Nong and other chieftains did not intend to change their ways directly. They had been hoping that the Song Dynasty would make the decision for them.
In today's Song Dynasty, the Khitan in the north has no strength and desire to fight. The Khitan has been fighting with the Song Dynasty for many years and has exhausted all the national power. The war with Xixia has exhausted the last elite. Now the Khitan company Not even a sick cat!
Although the Li family in the northwest is nominally tied with the Song Dynasty, only a few people know the truth behind it! Today, Xixia has not only been maimed, but his soul has also been beaten away!
Li Yuanhao has become a different person since the Song-Xia War. He has lost his former domineering attitude and his brain is as if it has been kicked by a wild donkey. Raising sheep in the palace, no one can understand this operation! The elite party members were also wiped out by a Song army of unknown origin. If there had not been problems within the Song Dynasty and the troops were withdrawn, the fall of Xixia would have been imminent!
These two enemies have lost their former glory, leaving other rivals. The Tibetans on the plateau are still worried about whether there will be wild vegetables to eat tomorrow, and they can't even fill their stomachs. The Dali emperor in the southwest is busy chanting sutras. The Song Dynasty is looking at the world at this time. , there is no opponent anymore!
At this time, Nanyue dared to jump out and take over the competition ring. This operation is really incomprehensible!
Are they too confident in themselves? Compared with Khitan and Xixia, where does their self-confidence come from?
Liang Chuan, who heard these two pieces of news, was honestly not very disturbed. Although he was a serious Han Chinese, he did not have a deep sense of identity with the country of the Song Dynasty, or this dynasty. At this time, he heard that the country had suffered There was no sense of hatred between the country and the family during the invasion. He was only here for a short period of time and could not arouse the patriotic sentiment in the heart.
He was the trigger of this war. The South Vietnamese soldiers asked Liang Chuan to kill nearly ten people in Qiyuan Prefecture. When the news spread back to the country, the people were not so easy to fool, and their anger was directed towards Song Rentou. superior!
Let’s start a war!
Moreover, the outcome of the Song Dynasty was already predestined. In this dynasty, which was famous for its weak culture in history, anyone dared to take a stab at it. There was nothing strange about Liang Chuan.
Seeing the calm expression on Liang Chuan's face, Luo Chuo felt a little confused.
It's not that he thinks Liang Chuan isn't patriotic at all.
It was an accident for him. When he heard the news about the price increase of salt, shouldn't he jump up with excitement?
Why is he acting like a normal person, as if he doesn't understand? Doesn't he really know how powerful the joints are?
When there is a real war, not to mention the price of salt, it is impossible to grab it!
This trip to Dali is far from false, but if it is shipped back, not only can you make money, you can even make twenty trips of freight!
The salt shortage in Guangnan, a poor place, is several times that of Dali. This Nong people are also short-sighted and bring salt to Dali to sell it. They don't understand what they think.
Liang Chuan was still standing there. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. Anyway, he had the money, so it was none of his business!
"Now... Brother Anong, look at it. According to my old man's opinion, it's definitely better not to do this business. Let's keep it and sell it wherever you want in Guangnan..."
Liang Chuan came to his senses, interrupted Lao Yigui's words, and decided by himself: "No need to bother, we are just running a small business and don't want to take that risk!"
The Nong brothers originally thought that Liang Chuan would put aside his plans and make long-term plans after hearing the news, but Liang Chuan made up his mind without much thought!
This meaning couldn't be more obvious. Liang Chuan is about to sell the salt he has in Dali Zuining!
"Can this boss speak Chinese?"
"Okay, okay, why don't you just talk by yourself, I have something else on hand, so I won't say more!"
Luo Chuo wants to make money, but he is not stupid.
None of these salt dealers are ruthless people who have fought hard and fought hard. Now they are afraid that they are short of money and want to sell the salt randomly and collect the money as soon as possible. If they find out later that they sold the salt at a cheaper price, they will blame him. So why don't you do surgery on him? When he thought of Liang Chuan's strength, his neck felt chilly. With a knife in that hand, he still had a way to survive?
Luo Chuo ran away with the next word. Liang Chuan didn't like this second-rate dealer either, mainly because of the language barrier. If he held back, he would lose a lot of money!
After the Yi Gui left, Liang Chuan walked to the stall and said to the salt seller with a smile, "Are you collecting salt?"
The salt dealer got an introduction from Luo Chuo and knew that these Nong people came from the south. Where they were going, they seemed a bit bluffing, but a closer look revealed that they were really thin, round and fat. Cross-eyed and a short winter melon, Liang Chuan and Nong Yao are the only two people who look pretty neat!
I have never seen anyone selling salt door to door selling it!
This thing is so popular that these bird feathers are carrying the salt and asking around, are they trying to get over their heads, or are they deliberately trying to cause trouble?
"Take it." The salt dealer looked at Liang Chuan coldly. He could hear what Luo Chuo just said to him.
People who sell salt just want to make money. The price of salt in Guangnan is relatively high now. They have come all the way here and just sell the salt?
In the business of selling salt, the hardships on the road are not hardships. The most terrifying thing is dealing with the government. If you encounter someone who is ruthless and the government collects taxes, that is the most terrible thing.
These are troubled times, and the south is definitely in chaos. Everyone is focusing on the front line, and no one has the energy to deal with smuggling of smuggled salt. At this time, smuggling of salt and smuggling of grain is rampant, and profits are also Highest!
"But let me tell you first, although the business we do here is not on the table, it is still a business, and there is no chance of going back on it!"
The salt dealer stared at Liang Chuan. Although he was a whole head smaller than Liang Chuan and his figure was much slimmer, he was not afraid at all. He stared straight at Liang Chuan as if to say, if you regret it, that's it. Broke the rules here!
There are too many people doing business in Zuining Town, and there are all kinds of people. People from countless ethnic groups and powerful people from the surrounding areas are all mixed here.
There used to be a lot of people here who wanted to cause trouble, but in the end, an unwritten rule was formed, that is, only by being friendly can you make money. Everyone should do business in peace and harmony, and don't think of messing around!
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It's the same principle when doing business all over the world. Once you make a deal, you'll get both money and goods! There's no reason to regret it!"
The salt dealer was sure that Liang Chuan understood what he said, so he asked: "Where do you get the salt, what is its quality, and how do you sell it? The salt market has risen slightly recently, and it is not as good as the market in Guangnan!"
Liang Chuan took out a handful of fine salt from the Yunnan horse and put the salt in his hand directly in front of the salt seller.
At first glance, this salt dealer was a man who had seen the world, and he would know if Liang Chuan made a move.
This salt is top quality!
It’s just this small handful, and there’s not even a grain of sand in it! No matter where the salt comes from, no matter how high-quality it is, there are fine sand and black impurities everywhere!
The salt seller looked a little fascinated. No wonder the man in front of him was so confident. This kind of salt can be sold easily anywhere! Rich people are not afraid of not being able to buy the food they eat, nor are they afraid of not having enough money. As long as good medicine and good ingredients can be obtained in his hands, he will be confident to sell them at a good price!
However, the salt dealer was worried that there was not much salt, or that Liang Chuan had selected it for him to see!
"Stop, stop, how much salt like this do you have... No, no, no... Is all the salt you brought like this?"
In order to complete this business and open up sales in Dali, Liang Chuan showed great sincerity, otherwise he would not have come all the way and brought a little girl with him.
Do business and win the world with integrity!
The salt dealer was a little anxious, afraid of the news that would disappoint him.
"It's about two to three hundred kilograms, all of it is this kind of salt. I can still vouch for this!"
I saw the salt dealer going from nervous to excited. He was afraid that the big business that was delivered to his door would be robbed. He said to Liang Chuan: "Take it out quickly and let me take a look. You guys, close the salt stall. We are not doing business today." Got it!"
The man thought he heard wrongly and looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly on his head. It was still a while before it went down the mountain. Why didn't he do it so early?
"What are you standing there for? You can't understand what I'm saying!" the salt seller yelled at the clerk angrily.
The waiter was really angry when he saw the boss was angry, so he started working closely. After a few people closed the door and closed the window, the salt seller said: "Little brother, don't bully me. This salt is... Can you let me test it?" Test!"
"Why not!"
When Liang Chuan took out the bags of fine salt, the salt dealer's eyes widened when he saw it. Just as Liang Chuan said, they were all the finest refined salt. The salt grains were full and the salt was white and flawless. He was not afraid of the presence of traces in the salt. For other substances, add a little and put it in your mouth!
Good salt!
The salt dealer pretended to be calm and remained calm!
After working as a private salt collector for so many years, he has never seen any quality of salt. The best ones are the green salt shipped from Xixia and the well salt from Shuzhong in the Song Dynasty. However, the quality cannot be guaranteed. It is good and bad sometimes, and there are still There are a lot of impurities, and the best salt tastes slightly bitter. There is no way to compare with the salt from Liangchuan!
"This salt is average, but I can barely buy it here. Nong's son, how do you plan to sell it?"
Liang Chuan laughed when he heard this!
