Chapter 232 Slap in the face again

Hu Qian slapped the horse desperately, so the black horse under his foot ran faster and faster, and finally caught up with an enemy. Hu Qian pulled out his knife and shouted: "Kill."

He raised his hand and fell to his knees and chopped off the man.

The remaining foreign cavalry dispersed in fan shapes, and they also surrounded more than a dozen Western Xia cavalry. The strangled began, and they were all Fanzi together. However, the number of foreign cavalry in the Song Dynasty was too large, and because of the improvement of food, it lasted for a long time to train and strengthened its combat effectiveness. Soon, more than a dozen Western Xia soldiers were either chopped to death or captured prisoners.

Hu Qian patted the horse and said, "Go back."

A new battalion of foreign cavalry was chosen, and everyone almost recommended Hu Qian in unison. First, his martial arts skills were indeed outstanding, second, he dared to fight and kill. Last year, he was the only one who killed twelve Xixia soldiers in three battles.

However, just like Li Sangou at the time, he was just a substitute and had to wait for the imperial edict from the Western Prefecture to become a real commander of the foreign cavalry.

All he brought was a journey.

All the cavalry of the fourth battalion of Huachi County came out, and went to the front of Liyuan Fort in the east, reached Rouyuan Village in the middle, and to Huai'an at the farthest west, and strangled the Xixia cavalry almost at the same time. However, one of them was only strangled at the Song Dynasty and did not run to the Xixia.

And he was very fast, and he exerted his strength at the same time, and returned to Liyuan Fortress, and then hung the heads of more than 20 Xixia soldiers who had been killed on the city gate of Liyuan Fortress.

In fact, the people of Xixia were too arrogant. After seeing Cai Tinglubu, they thought the Song Dynasty was easy to bully, so they sent cavalry to move unscrupulously at the border. But they could not be considered real scouts, they could only be said to be racquets.

Wang Ju and Yao Yi also set up the White Army, and there were also scouts. However, would they move in such an arrogant manner? Maybe, but it is mostly used to confuse the enemy.

Ren Duola E came to Qingzhou again and asked Cai Ting why he took the initiative to provoke Xixia?

Cai Ting is really easy to bully. After hearing this, he immediately brought Rendolae to Liyuan Castle.

Yao Yi replied: "Mr. Cai, his subordinates did not enter the enemy territory, they were all killed in the Song territory."

"Why not expel but kill?"

"Duke Cai, why did they enter the territory of my Song Dynasty?"

"Stop talking, take these heads down and bury them." Cai Ting immediately took the heads down and deal with them.

"Mr. Cai, we are not convinced."

"That's it. All the prisoners have been released to me. Renduo envoys, you should also report that the two countries are peaceful and friendly. I hope that your country will not send cavalry to our territory, otherwise I will be in a difficult position."

Rendolaro returned to Jintang City with a dozen prisoners.

In fact, it was just a few small conflicts at the border, but Ye Fengma jumped up again in anger.

Song Ji persuaded him: "General Ye Bu, don't be angry, it's good news. This proves that Mr. Cai is indeed very soft, so he can't control the arrogant soldiers and generals in Huachi County."

"Isn't he the Gyeongju magistrate?"

"He is the governor of Qingzhou. But some people are afraid of trouble and cannot rule. For example, Sun Changqing before Sun Mian, let alone the arrogant soldiers and generals of Huachi County, even ordinary Fan tribes are not afraid of him. How can such an incompetent official serve as the governor of Qingzhou be a good news?"

"This kid is too bullying!" Ye Fengma said angrily.

Wang Ju slapped the face again and again, and anyone with a little bloody nature would be so angry.

Song Ji had no choice but to persuade him again: "General Ye Bu, the arrogant army will be defeated. He will not be able to make a long run. If you are a little unbearable, you will be in chaos. I hope the general will report these information to His Majesty quickly."

Ye Fengma's forehead, and the rear judges how to send troops, or whether to send troops, must use the information provided by his front-line generals to analyze it.

So he wrote a memorial on the situation and accompanied by Wang Ju's "rampantness".

The report was submitted to Xiang Xingqing Prefecture, and Ye Fengma continued to pay attention to the movements of the Song army. It seemed that Song Ji was right, but Cai Ting could not convince the soldiers of Liyuan Fort.

When the prisoners of war were released, the soldiers of Liyuan Fort were unhappy, but unwilling to give up, so they sent a battalion of officers and soldiers to Jier Village. The people of this village also migrated to the rear, and now there is an empty village left. However, the terrain is really good, located halfway up the mountain, very dangerous, and there is another mountain stream on the mountain. If there are not many soldiers entering, it is enough to ensure edible water. The water source for building a village is very particular. It is either in the south of the Yangtze River, and a well can be dug casually. This is the northwest, and even if the well is dug, groundwater may not be dug.

Therefore, Ge Huaimin made a big mistake in Dingchuan Village.

But it was already wrong, but Xu Xi continued to come to Yongle City!

After the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers came here, they immediately repaired the wall of the village, and a very good small village fort appeared.

They got here, and Ye Fengma didn't dare to send a roar to the Song Dynasty anymore.

But the matter was not over, and not long after, Wang Ju came to the face again.

…………

Whether it is war or banning alcohol and horses, it has not affected private businesses.

The brigade of the brigade has arrived at the border again, and occasionally Xixia people will come to check it out. As long as you don’t bring wine, Xixia people will not ask about it.

Two hatchback inspections and make a deal.

Zhu Qing suddenly called dozens of merchants from Xixia, took out someone from behind, and introduced: "His name is Liu Guang. If I don't come in the future, he will trade with you on my behalf."

It's been changed, but no one cares too much.

Zhu Qing said again: "In addition, I will say one thing, the price of that soju wine is reduced by 30% to sell it to you."

This price reduction of 30% is an incredible concession, that is, there is no wine system in Xixia. If the price reduction is 30%, the slightly better wine will also be at this price.

One of them said, "But the commander has an order to prohibit alcohol trading. How dare we bring it there?"

Zhu Qingyi smiled and said, "Yes, trading is prohibited, but have you noticed that Commander Ye Bi sent officers and soldiers to search our goods every time, did you search your goods?"

"That's the case, but how did you bring the wine here to trade? We heard that Commander Ye Bi hated you, the little magistrate of Huachi County, and last time it was a lucky one. If you still brought the wine next time, I'm afraid even someone could be arrested and killed."

"We are not trading here, but instead change the trading location to Jierzhai. Do he dare to send troops to search?"

"Ji'er Village?" The man obviously didn't know. It was still a man next to him who whispered a few words in his ear. The man understood.

"Even if you put the wine in Jier Village, we dare not trade it. You forgot, how did you die if you didn't move?"

"How can I not know? But compared to horses and wine, the green salt in Xixia, which one is more profitable. Why is my dynasty still unblocked?"

The man couldn't answer. Including this line, there were also a lot of green salts, but these green salts were transferred from Qingzhou Road and did not dare to go from Huachi Road. But this was also the same thing that Wang Ju did. Although the green salt had not gone through Huachi Road, more than 90% of the salt consumed in Huachi was green salt, and even the salt that Wang Ju himself ate was also green salt.

"The reason is very simple. The law does not punish the masses. There are too many merchants in our dynasty. Although the court prohibits it, they dare not really ban it. But who are the private merchants in our dynasty? Isn't it just a group of merchants. Who are you who run private merchants? Some are merchants, some are the people, and some are the chiefs of various races. That is, you, Chief Xiangmu."

The chieftain Xiangmu was a little aware.

Zhu Qing explained again: "Of course, it's not OK to be alone. There must be a lot of people and invite the chiefs to come and trade together. And this thing is really banned. If you want to get it again, you will lose it. Scarcity is expensive. At that time, when winter comes, you can sell whatever price you want. Moreover, our boss is sincere and gives up 30% of the price, almost the cost price."

"That won't be."

"Chief Xiangmu, let's talk aside," Zhu Qing pulled the man aside and whispered: "We are not Qingzhou merchants, but Yanzhou merchants."

"I know this."

"We came to make money for ourselves, and to support us."

"If you don't support him, you won't be banned."

"Hey, that's wrong. The two countries are fighting and they will win and lose each other. But Chief Xiangmu, ask yourself, is our Song Dynasty right? You Xixia, you send so much silver, tea, cloth in a year, isn't it just for peace? Yes, your Xixia is powerful, but what are the benefits of fighting? Even if you win, aren't you really dead? We are doing business and making money, regardless of state affairs. We have to rely on his power, and he also has to rely on our financial resources."

"It seems that your Zhu family has a close relationship with him."

"So what if we are close? Our Zhu family has money, but does it have power?"

Although the man knew a lot of things, he was speechless.

"Don't say that, I'll just say that when we came to Qingzhou, in order to get the merchants in Qingzhou to agree, we also made concessions and only made 10% of the profits. However, there is one thing, that is, wine and Buddhist scriptures, they should not interfere. We will sell this wine to you at a cost price. You must also believe that with the spicy spirit, how much sorghum it takes to brew a pound of wine."

This makes sense, and it has been reduced by 30%. This price is indeed so fair that it cannot be more fair.

The man nodded.

"We have not made any money for this money, but what is a transaction? We have made a difference between the two sides. We have not made any money for wine, but we have made a difference in goods on your side. But they are related to wine, so they are not within this profit."

"I understand, no wonder it sells so cheaply."

"It's not a ban on alcohol."

"I'll go back and contact them."

"No matter whether you contact us or not, or what goods you trade next time, the transaction location will be changed to Jierzhai." Zhu Qing went back after saying that.

Wang Ju ordered the transaction location to be changed to Jierzhai.

A merchant committed a crime against the wind and immediately let the scouts learn that hundreds of cavalrymen were swept away, and all the goods were checked together, and then distributed to the soldiers. Faced with Wang Ju's strength, everyone was scared together.

This little magistrate is a capable minister and a cruel man. He is directly and indirectly. I don’t know how many brains he made him move.

The transaction location was back, and it was trading at the bottom of the Song army's nose. This was also against the system, but this time it was not Wang Ju who was fighting alone, and there was a Cai Ting on it, so what was he afraid of?

Of course, Xixia could not send troops to check whether there was any sour wine.

Chief Xiangmu and more than a dozen influential people secretly brought some soju back. Some people liked it, and some people didn't like it, but Song Ji didn't like it, but the Qiang people had a hot personality and grew up in cold areas, so most of them like it. After a long time of ban, they sold out on the market and suddenly appeared and robbed it. So the scale became larger and larger, starting with sneaking, but later they were openly blatant.

"These damn guys." Ye Fengma became angry again.

Song Ji was also worried that someone would sell it. Someone needed it, so the Song Dynasty's green salt was repeatedly banned. The same is true for this wine. Some people drink it, and the profit is considerable, so there are people buying and selling it, and there is no way to ban it. There are so many people smuggling, and if they do it, something big will happen. Of course, Ye Fengma also knew it, so he was just jumping, but he did not give an order.

"This Jier Village has prepared that kid."

"General Ye Bu, don't be angry, there is another way."

"explain."

"Mainly we don't have that soju."

"There is no soju in the entire Xixia."

"What if there is?"

"You mean..."

"Yes, we tried to find out how they brewed it, and I also heard about it, mainly some equipment. In fact, they brewed less by themselves, and most of them bought inferior millet for reprocessing, which is this kind of shochu."

A bright light appeared in Ye Bima's eyes. Song Ji's words mean that as long as you obtain this technology, you can produce those soybean wine in a very short time. With soybean wine, you can forbid it openly. And you can also make profits by soybean wine.

"Spent some money and send scouts to take back the winemakers."

Ye Fengma only followed Song Ji's plan and sent a scout to sneak into the wine workshop in Huachi Town and bribe the craftsmen. But soon the scout brought bad news. The wine workshop was transferred. I heard that it was transferred to Chang'an. It was impossible to transfer the scout to Chang'an to buy it. However, Song Ji offered another plan: "It's okay, there is a wine workshop in Huachi County. It has been transferred, but there is still a wine workshop that has not been transferred, Yanzhou."

Whether in Yanzhou or Huachi County, Ye Fengma asked the two scouts to Yanzhou again. But once they went, they did not come back. Ye Fengma was puzzled and sent two scouts to Yanzhou, but they did not come back.

Ye Fengma was very strange, so he personally picked two scouts and sneaked to Yanzhou. Before leaving, he repeatedly told them that they were not going to the wine shop, but asking about the whereabouts of the four scouts. The two scouts came back soon to report and knew their whereabouts. The first four scouts had just contacted the people in the workshop and were immediately sent, but they were not sent to the government or to Xixia. Instead, they were sent to the mine as mine slaves at the price of twenty stagnants each. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
