"It's a bit difficult?" Wang Ju murmured.

This ban will be for at least two or three years. Of course, it can be exchanged for sporadic horses, but the number is small and expensive, so it is not worth it.

Another channel, the Security Army, is not allowed.

Although horses can still be seen on the mutual market, most of them are Khitan horses exchanged for green salt from the Jiashan Mountains of Liao Kingdom. Khitan horses are short and cheap. However, the Xixia people sold them as Xixia horses, but they were not considered as Xixia horses. The price was also high. There was a mutual market, but both parties had to pay taxes for trading back and forth, and the tax was also spread to the horses. They could get good horses, but the number would not be large, and maybe Cheng Kan would deduct them.

Li Liangzuo is getting worse and wrong, are Cheng Kan worried?

He also needs cavalry and war horses.

Wang Ju thought for a long time and said, "It's not a big deal, there's still a way. Send someone to Weizhou to contact the foreign people."

The Xixia obtained the Xishi City, which not only posed a serious strategic threat to the Song Dynasty, but also private salt was circulated to Qinfeng Road. It turned out that Xue Xiang's strategy was to use salt banknotes to buy horses, and merchants then used salt banknotes to transport salt to dispel salt in the border areas for sale. One was to impact the private salt, and the other was to reduce the expenses of the imperial court. However, the cheaper green salt in Xishi City, which came to Xishi City, this strategy also failed.

This is what Wang Ju made about.

The Song Dynasty's wine-declaration system was destined to be difficult to sell across the border. If it could cross the border, Wang Ju would become a high-ranking official and everyone would not dare to offend him. Then, if the border crossing, the government would turn a blind eye, and the merchants from all over the country would have no choice but to travel to each other.

However, the foreigners brought some wine back to their tribe, and no one dared to speak.

Therefore, Wang Ju asked Zhu Qing to send some wine to some mature tribes in Qin and Wei. If they were interested, they asked them to take their horses to the junction of Pengyuan County and Jingzhou to trade.

Such a horse replacement is very troublesome. And if you are far away, it means the price is high.

However, the horse gap is not big. In addition, the Tubo horses are generally tall, and the Khitan may be more hard-working and conducive to long-distance journeys. However, this is not needed for the Song army. Could it be that the Song Dynasty has the ambition of the Han, Tang, Yuan and Qing dynasties to expedition to Central Asia in the Western Regions? Therefore, the Tubo horses and Hetao horses are currently the most suitable for the Song army. They are tall, have strong impact power and fast sprinting speed in a short period of time.

“That will take a long time.”

"It doesn't matter. The Poche Army is not very good at riding skills. Most of the original Poche Army are trained with pack horses. When they gradually adapt, it will take at least a few months. It should be not difficult to replace only two hundred horses at that time. In fact, this may be a good thing. After all, you made an agreement with Wuliu, and only let his family run shochu. This agreement was mainly to get the horse and lead him. But now the horse is not nervous. There is no need for that agreement. However, for integrity, you have to abide by it. Now he has been beheaded by the officers and soldiers of the Xixia City. You just happen to see if you can open up the business road of the Security Army and expand sales. I want to accumulate more money as soon as possible. By the way, are there any private dealers in Tumen and Qingjian City?"

"Yes, but the scale is not as large as before."

"Of course, once the mutual market is opened, even if you pay taxes, you don't have to bear risks or bribes, and the scale will naturally shrink. However, if there is, you can also think of ways from those two private business roads. The sales of this wine have expanded the entire Nanhetao area."

"It can be done," Zhu Qing said.

After talking about the serious matter, Wang Ju looked at Zhu Jun and asked, "Erlang, the injury is healed."

"Ming Gong."

"You're stupid," Wang Ju laughed and hugged him and said, "What a wise man who doesn't know him, call me Xiaolang, it's really impossible to call me Daniuzi. If you want to show off your politeness, I'll praise you."

"Then let me go."

"Have you recovered from the injury?"

"It's been good."

"It's better to do this. If you don't dislike it, move to me first and do something for me."

"OK."

"What can I do? I'm not thanking Dalang." Zhu Qing said on the side. This is not helping Wang Ju do anything for Wang Ju. His second young master can do for Wang Ju, but he put it next to Wang Ju and personally honed it.

"Manager Zhu, don't, Erlang and I are good friends, how could I be restrained because of a small difference in status? Besides, I was just a poor boy at the beginning, and Dongweng and Erlang did not look down on me. Besides, I am just a small magistrate?"

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he shouted at Ye Long Meesheng's wife: "Aunt Wang, go buy a lamb leg and see what good dishes are available. You can buy them back by the way. Erlang is here today, and we want to have a feast."

Wang Ju only changed the names of Ye Long Meesheng and did not change Ye Long Meesheng's name, but Ye Long Meesheng's wife also wanted to change her surname to Han, and also Wang. This is a fierce woman. Ye Long Meesheng was cowardly, so she had to let her.

But after a while, after Quan Er's eldest son got married, he brought his young wife back from his hometown, and the Wang family became more popular. Next year, Lu Ping would get married. Maybe there will be more and more people in the Wang family in the future.

Zhong'er brews tea.

Zhu Jun looked at Zhong'er curiously. Zhong'er had been in the Wang family for a long time and was no longer afraid of people. He twisted his huge body and said, "Don't look at me, Ming Gong likes it, why?"

Zhu Jun had no choice but to look at Wang Ju strangely and thought to himself, my brother has a very heavy taste, why do you have a heavier taste than my brother?

Wang Ju laughed and said, "Don't underestimate Zhong'er, many people are proposing marriages to her."

"That's it." Zhong'er said proudly.

Most of the people who propose marriage are from foreigners. They have different aesthetic views and think that they are maids that the county magistrate likes. How can they be worse?

After a while, Wang came back with a lot of meat and fish. Gui Niang buried his wife, Li Sangou's wife, and Zhong'er went to cook together. Because there were too many people and too many women, the woman he originally invited quit.

In fact, it is just ordinary meat and fish. Wang Ju's life is not simple, but it has nothing to do with luxury.

At least it is better than many scholars and officials.

Wang Ju asked Ye Long Meesheng and Gui Nianglang Ben to buy some wine and braised dishes and gave them to the civilians who were pulling the cart. The sky and village were frozen. Although it was not yet time for heavy snow to seal the door, the road was getting more and more difficult, and everyone was suffering.

Zhu Jun asked about the three battles again curiously.

Wang Ju waved his hand and said, "I won't mention it anymore. Even if those three battles are won, it will not be very glorious."

“Why?”

"Our officers and soldiers in the court are cowardly and dare not fight. This leads to them being very arrogant. Once they are arrogant, they are careless. Moreover, except for the second battle, my troops have the advantage in the other two battles. The enemy is arrogant and our army is a tragic soldier. The enemy is careless and we carefully arrange it, how can we not win? But the next time we can't be so relaxed."

"I still have to fight?"

"The foreign people are very revengeful."

Li Sangou's wife happened to walk out of the kitchen and said, "But we, the foreigners, have more commitments."

It turns out that half of the Wang family is a fan son now.

"That's definitely not. Aunt Sangou, if you foreigners have made great promises, why did Xixia repeatedly betray the peace between the two countries?"

"He is the shameless Tuoba family, and can't he represent the entire Fanzi?"

But Aunt Sangou didn't say that there might be eternal friendship between countries? When the Central Plains are rich and powerful, they will come together to flatter them. Can they get some benefits? When they are weak, they will just bite them.

This is the truth between countries.

Just like the Song and Liao, the Liao Kingdom may not really keep its promises, and there is still a phenomenon of grass-fighting valleys on the border. During the war in the Song and Xia Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom extorted and raised the annual tribute to 500,000 yuan. When Wang Shao fought in the west, the Liao Kingdom extorted some of the disputed borders.

So in the end, Zhao Ji tore up the peace agreement. We cannot blame the Song Dynasty alone, and the Liao Kingdom also had to bear part of the responsibility. It was just that the Song Dynasty fooled the strength of the Jin people and was not sure about the primary and secondary strategy.

The north wind whistles, laughter and joy in the house.

This was the most leisurely period when Wang Ju came to Huachi County.

But the next day, Wang Ju went to Huanzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, a load of firewood could be sold for 100 cents, which was a bit expensive, but the price was also high. Not only did the firewood be cut off, but it also had to be sold in the city. The manpower alone was worth fifty or sixty cents.

An ordinary load of charcoal is usually worth four or five hundred cents, five or six hundred cents. After all, the charcoal has to be baked and the portion is reduced.

Coal was also started to be used, and a load of carbohydrates is usually worth 300 cents. The main reason is that the transportation cost is too high and the mining technology is backward. The same principle is edible oil. Cooked oil and lamp oil were common in the Song Dynasty, and generally 300 cents per catty. A pound of expensive can reach 100 cents per catty.

Compared with the price of mibu, they are a bit higher.

The results of productivity and production technology and efficiency.

There are carbohydrate resources in Qingzhou, but they are mainly in Huanzhou. I don’t know much about this Wang Ju, and I only heard that Huanzhou produces carbohydrate. In fact, the coal resources in the entire northwest are very rich, but in this era, only those open-pit or shallow or mines, and deep mines are sighing.

Wang Ju sent people to search and found a small coal mine in the back of a small ban village. The banese were also mining, but the efficiency was low. They mined it randomly, exchanged for a few dollars, or used it for winter.

Wang Ju bought it with money and brought gunpowder.

When the snow began to fall, Wang Ju took the prisoners of war and first mined the coals and transported them out of the mine. When the river melted next year, it would be transported back to the banks of the Huachi River.

Wang Ju went down the mine and took a look. These prisoners of war were no longer as troubling, but he still said: "What are you going to do? Work."

What humanitarianism, go to hell, is to encourage them to come to the Song Dynasty to do some bad things next time.

Therefore, Wang Ju's ruthless method led to the two riots, which were brutally suppressed by the officers and soldiers. There was another reason for this. These prisoners of war were kept for a while. As New Year's Day came, the Western Xia envoys went to the capital, and most of these prisoners of war had to be released. Wang Ju Ming knew that he would not dare to kill him. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even if Xue Rengui killed Tiele people in that time, he was also miserable in the Tang Dynasty.

So be more ruthless, even if you go back, you should have a shadow on their psychology. Don’t think that the Song Dynasty was really a group of fat rabbits and let them slaughter them.

Hao Dutou, who was warding the prisoners of war, asked: "Some merchants came from Huanzhou and Qingzhou cities, asking if the carbonite was sold."

"Sell it, why not? This is a powerful military service that can help the poor and strong. As long as the price is reasonable, it can be sold." Wang Ju said: "But Hao Dutou, this money will be used to equip the brothers with armor and weapons in the future."

"Don't worry, if I am greedy for a copper cow, I will have no asshole for a son in the future."

"You don't have children yet?"

"I was sent to the northwest shortly after I got married. My wife was not good enough, so she had no children."

"Do it well, you have made contributions this time, and even if you return to Beijing, it will be very glorious."

"That's it," Hao Du replied with his head raised his chest. This is confidence. After a battle, it not only tempers everyone's practical experience, but also improves everyone's confidence. He no longer faces the enemy like before, but only knows how to die sadly.

Wang Ju looked at it and went back.

Winter is getting deeper day by day, but the capital city is getting lively again. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
