Chapter 42 Zhongshan Mansion Lu Qian
Liu Yu, who dreamed of being the leader of the world, wanted to develop cavalry. In order to purchase a sufficient number of horses, he did not hesitate to send people with heavy sums of money to Yanjing to establish relations.
Once he has [-] cavalry, he can go south along Puzhou and Chanzhou to attack Kaifeng, seize the land on both sides of the Yellow River, and then lead a million troops south to take Lin'an!After destroying Zhao and Song, they will wait for an opportunity to seize the land of Youyun.
In order to accumulate enough gold and silver, he did not hesitate to collude with various grassroots bandits and rob merchants who went to Zhongshan Prefecture's market. Li Gui was one of the forces he carefully cultivated.
Outside Handan City, the corpses of thousands of grassroots bandits littered the fields, which shocked Liu Yu when he saw the report! When Zhao Yingluo's convoy was robbed, it was actually Liu Yu who arranged for Li Gui to do it. He thought that a thousand bandits would be more than enough to deal with a caravan, but in the end they were all annihilated! "Is it true that Zhao Yingluo is a god like the rumor?"
"In the official family, if it weren't for the coming of a god, how could she become the richest landowner in the Song Dynasty in just two years?"
The rumor Liu Yu mentioned was that it was spread among the people that Zhao Yingluo was a fairy from heaven who came down to earth to save the people of the world. In some places, temples were even built in her honour, and the incense was quite popular.
"Send the order and ask Zhao Lun to postpone the plan to attack Kaifeng. Everything will be decided after re-discussing with the Jin people."
Although Liu Yu needs to please the Jin people, he is not stupid!If the Song Dynasty was as weak as before, he would have swallowed up Kaifeng directly, but now that a person called "fairy" like Zhao Yingluo has appeared, he is a little bit back.
Even if they want to fight, they still have to encourage Jin Ren and her to fight hard.
【Zhongshan Mansion】
After the Song and Jin Dynasties opened up the market, the items exported from the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty mainly included tea, silk fabrics, cloth, ivory, rhinoceros horns, various fruits, ginger, tangerine peel, frankincense, sandalwood, etc.
The main items exported by the Jin Kingdom to the Song Dynasty included leather, salt, jewelry and jade, ginseng, pine nuts, medicinal materials, etc.
Although the peace lasted only a year, the market had already prospered. Merchants from all over the world gathered in Zhongshan Mansion, and all kinds of goods piled up in mountains.
In just five months, Jin Guo received as much as 10 taels of transaction tax!Wanyan Sheng, Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, who tasted the benefits, even came to Zhongshan in casual clothes three times to observe the grand transaction.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanyan Sheng, who was in high spirits, once again brought his favorite son Wanyan Zongyi to Zhongshan Mansion in casual clothes.
At noon, Wanyan Sheng, who was a little hungry, was about to find a wine shop to drink wine with his son. A strong and sweet smell suddenly penetrated his nose, making him even more hungry.
Following the scent, he quickly came to a place and saw a young woman who looked like a Han woman directing some servants to unload bags of things from the car. In front of her, there were ten people in a row. Something like an oven. The oven is filled with roasted food, and the aroma comes from this food.
What Wanyan Sheng saw was Zhao Yingluo who came to Zhongshan Mansion with a large amount of sweet potatoes, peppers, potatoes, corn and other crops.
When Wanyan Zongyi saw Zhao Yingluo coming, his heart skipped a beat. Just when he was about to introduce his emperor father, an unexpected incident occurred.
Lu Qian, the governor of Zhongshan Prefecture, was originally a minister of the Song Dynasty. After Zhongshan was ceded, he surrendered to the Jin people. In order to better rule the Han people, the Jin people adopted the strategy of using Han to control Han people and continued to make him the governor of Zhongshan.
Lu Qian, who became the traitor of another minister, used public services for personal gain, charging the fees for the market stalls to bribe his superiors in pursuit of a higher official position.
Zhao Yingluo's newly opened stall has become another target for him.
