Section 48: The drama in the palace
Liu An took a step forward, closer to Pan Luozhi, and spoke:
"My brother knows that cloth is different prices, and silk weaving is also high and low. Lingzhou is Tokyo's highest price is no more than five times. How about it? Going west, small businesses don't matter. We each have half of the profits of the caravan with more than one thousand guards."
"Okay, OK, OK."
Liu An shook Pan Luozhi's hand: "Let's go and have tea."
"Walk."
Back at the table, Liu An and Pan Luo gave a few words to the people around them, and they only talked about tea and horses.
Wang Zeng and Zhu Yan were responsible for discussing a series of detailed issues with people from Pan Luozhi, including price details, transportation methods, food and grass supplements, etc.
While drinking tea, Liu An said again: "Brother, there is a big salt lake west of your big lake."
"have."
"Give me some, I know you can carry it to the river with horses, then transport it from Lanzhou to Qinzhou, and then from the waterway to my Xijing of the Song Dynasty. You can estimate the price, and this business can be done."
"Success." Pan Luozhi didn't talk much, but he was the one who did practical things.
Liu An said again: "Give me nine hundred horses first, I want war horses. I will send 300 people, one person and three horses back to Beijing to ask people to organize 100,000 dan of tea to transport it north immediately."
"OK."
Pan Luozhi actually had a doubt in his heart. If the tea was shipped to the east entrance of Lingzhou and Hexi Corridor, there were Dangxiang people in the hands of the business, then how could this business be done? His Liugu tribe could not eat 100,000 dan of tea.
But he didn't mention it.
Pan Luozhi thought that he had 60,000 elite cavalry, and as long as the Song people sent out another 50,000 troops, he would not be unsure of attacking Lingzhou.
The Song people were masters of siege and were responsible for fighting in the field.
In the evening, Wang Zeng and Zhu Yan were so tired that they didn't even want to serve the bowl when drinking water.
Liu An and Pan Luozhi said a few words, and they were responsible for discussing the details. It is estimated that they would have to work hard for at least two days.
Liu An sat down: "Give me a cup of honey water. I have been drinking tea all day long. Lao Pan is not afraid of hardship and wants to drink strong tea, but ends up getting drunk."
Pan Gun personally poured a glass of honey water for Liu An: "Brother An, when will I get it?"
"No hurry, my brother will arrange for one person to bring 300 people, one person and three riders back to Beijing, send a letter to the official family for me, and then send a letter from the family. Also, send ten riders to General Yang, and then send ten riders to Zeng Gongshen to send a letter to the officer."
"Come." Pan Gun nodded and went down to make arrangements.
While Liu An was drinking water in the tent, a scream came from a distance.
None of the Changsuns of the four major martial races wanted to go back. They came to fight, not to send letters. After the four of them came to a full martial arts stance, they found that no one could defeat anyone.
Then an earl, a young military officer from the marquis' family, was beaten into a pig's head by them and was forced to go back to deliver the letter.
The imperial guards, and officers who are officers are basically children of the Wuxun family, and the officers who lead a team of hundreds of people are all sons of the Earl family. Although these people are young soldiers, they are quite capable of fighting in this era. After all, the Song Dynasty has only been established for decades.
There are many things to prepare for in the war, and Pan Luozhi's younger brother has already returned to prepare for the war.
Here, Wang Zeng continued to talk to the other party about the details.
The most difficult to talk about Lanzhou's co-governance, with half of the troops stationed in each garrison. There is no precedent in this matter. Lanzhou was controlled by Liugu at this time. Liugu was willing to give up the Lanzhou chief officer to Songguan, but he asked Lanzhou and Lingzhou to calculate the taxes. In addition to the daily needs of the city, they would double the price of Tokyo and exchange it for materials, and they would not have money.
This matter cannot be done.
Double, no profit. Wang Zeng knew that Liu An would not agree, but he certainly could not exchange Liu Anding's market price, which became a point of dispute.
Then the configuration of officials at all levels.
Liu An gave a trick. Lanzhou set up an official school, and the children of the Liugu nobles were admitted for free, and they were responsible for food and accommodation. The Song Dynasty sent a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion to preside over the official school.
By the way, this day passed.
While Liu An was preparing for war, he was arguing about the distribution of interests after the war.
The most important thing is that Liu An is waiting for the opportunity.
When the Dangxiang people attacked Liugu, this would make it possible to surrender. It would be impossible for Pan Luozhi to take the initiative to run over and say, "I want to surrender, but ordinary people can't deceive you except fools."
Speaking of Bianliang City.
In the palace, the emperor's inner study.
Behind a huge screen, Pan Ziling was crying while wiping his eyes hidden in his sleeve. Queen Guo was comforting her next to her.
In front of the screen, the emperor sat on the imperial throne and wiped his sweat.
Li Wen's face was flushed with embarrassment, and Lu Meng was constantly stroking his beard, pulling off several of them.
Only Kou Zhun had a normal expression and a smile on his white and fat face.
Pan Ziling cried and said, "Official family, my husband and I are young. Although I am not very sensible, the loom was invested by my family for 100 kilograms of gold. More than 100 craftsmen studied day and night for a hundred days before they achieved results. Mr. Li couldn't just take it."
Everyone present was embarrassed.
Water conservancy yarn machines and water conservancy looms are the most correct for the Song Dynasty to benefit the country and the people, and to collect them for the country.
Pan Ziling didn't dare to take it alone. She knew that her family didn't have such a big appetite. Not to mention the Liu Mansion, she wouldn't dare to take it alone even if she tied the Pan Mansion and the prince's mansion together.
But, she will come for good, she will cry.
Of course, there was one person present who was not embarrassed, Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhunxin said, it only took a few days for you and your husband to get married, and it took a hundred days to achieve results. This thing probably has been like a straw. It was because Liu An had some money in his hands and continued to try it out.
However, Kou Zhun did not intend to say that a little money was not a matter of business.
Li Wen was very ashamed. He really took other people's things and had to compensate for this matter.
Li Heng stood up and was about to say a few words in the scene, when suddenly the imperial guards rushed in: "Official family, speed up the military situation."
Throughout the dynasties, no need to report any emergency military information, you can break in directly.
After the imperial guards said that, the four imperial guards carried two young military officers into the hall. In order to rush back before the war, they rode back with three horses. They could say that they had tried their best to run back.
Calculate the speed, it is almost nearly 400 miles to speed up.
The two of them carried a bag on their backs. They collapsed to the ground with exhaustion. The bag was to be removed in front of the emperor. This is to ensure that no one had seen it first, and it is also the responsibility of the sender.
After taking off the burden, the emperor immediately ordered: "Transfer to the imperial doctor and send the two to rest."
In fact, these two people are not the only ones who are tired, and the imperial guards are already treating others.
Two bags, one is a hot paint sealed wooden box, and the other is an unsealed wooden box.
Kou Zhun stepped forward and opened the wooden box sealed with a hot paint, took out the three documents inside, and with the emperor's consent, the three ministers took one letter to start reading and then exchanged them.
Pan Ziling was so smart that she stopped crying immediately. She knew that something must be wrong, and that it was 90% of it for her husband.
Chapter completed!
