Chapter 1116 Smuggling Route
The old man was busy at Bai Dai's wedding, the young man. He didn't care much about this fatherless boy before, and always felt that this kid would not have much prospect.
Things in the world are always beyond people's expectations. Ten young people who went to Malipo for blind dates have returned to the village one after another. Without exception, the injuries on their bodies were very serious, and the people were beaten to no confidence at all. They all hid at home when they came back and were unwilling to go out.
No need to guess, these people must have been bullied. Now the whole village knows what kind of retribution the people in Yunjia Village have suffered, and of course, they also know what kind of people they have lost.
Baiyun Mountain learned the whole process of Malipo from Bai Dai. He just sighed. Fortunately, Liangchuan helped their village get their face back, otherwise they would be embarrassed this time!
The Bai people’s wedding usually lasts four days, but the most lively thing is the day when you pass the door. Everyone will drink plenty of it. Liang Chuan drank too much last night and was no longer able to fight again today!
After drinking half a pound of soju, Liang Chuan decisively stepped down and returned to Lao Baozheng's side room and slept soundly.
Logically, the fourth day was Zhier, that is, the bride returned home. The couple did not go back, but went to Baozheng's home and thanked Lao Baozheng and Liang Chuan!
Zhier is not stupid, and he has seen Bai Dai a long time ago.
People between the two tribes fall in love, and they look at their own interests and singing voices. Few people think about family wealth and background. Everyone is generally poor, and no one is better than anyone else. The difference is who is more capable and able to fight.
However, there are also unreliable men who can fight, so I took a look at it. The man who had seen incompetent before came out to save him in danger, which is enough!
Zhier had long felt something was wrong!
Liang Chuan is not the waiter at the wine stall, so why did he come to Baijia Village and have a fight with Bai Dai?
Did they know each other from the beginning?
Zhier has passed the door. Although she has doubts in her heart, she will not think about it anymore. She may not know who Bai Dai is, but she has seen Yun Heilong, who is not responsible for her. Women don’t have to find a heroic husband. Just be able to stay safe and unyielding. What else can she choose?
A wedding was finally completed.
After Baiyun Mountain discovered his true identity, Liang Chuan did not pretend anymore. He asked the market near Nong Dayun to buy a set of Han costumes. This was Liang Chuan's first time wearing Hanfu!
Hanfu is more generous and looser than the clothes of the Nong family and Bai people, and the cuffs are kept relatively large. When worn on her body, Liang Chuan seems to have truly integrated into this era.
A Yue looked at her father who turned into a Han man, and the little girl's eyes turned red!
Liang Chuan originally wanted to give her a surprise, but she never thought it would turn into a shock!
He quickly comforted him, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"
"Dad, you lied to us, you lied to Anon and me. You are not Miao people or Nong people, you are not Dong people, but a Han people!"
"You know that my dad was injured before. I was afraid that someone would harm me, so I concealed the truth from you. Now my dad is not doing well, and I haven't lie to you anymore!"
"Will you leave me?"
"You won't worry, you'll take A Yue with me wherever my father wants to go!"
"This...will you return to Guangnan, dad?"
Liang Chuan was surprised that A Yue would ask this question. The little girl did not live well in Guangnan, just like an orphan. Although she lived in the toast's mansion, only one Anon would really care about her. Others just thought it was transparent, no, she was like a slave!
Guangnan? Liang Chuan muttered several times, sighed, and could only perfunctorily say to the little girl: "I will go back, but not now..."
Maybe it will be a long time later.
Liang Chuan thought about it and after wearing the Han family's clothes a few times, he still changed into Nongren's clothes. After all, after wearing them for a long time, he has been used to them for a long time, so A Yue will not be afraid.
A Yue was thinking about Anon. Before meeting Liang Chuan, Anon was her closest person and the only person in the world who treated her well.
She really missed Anon after she had been out for so long.
Liang Chuan gave A Yue a lot of money. She really wanted to use this money to buy some beautiful and fun things for Anon! Anon's family is in the Tusi Mansion, and although they are poor, they are not short of fees! They are just used to this kind of lifestyle! The emperor is like Daoguang, although he is rich in the world, he lives a beggar-like life. The lifestyle of others is like this, it has nothing to do with family background.
Liang Chuan was resting at home for several days and confirmed that there were no Yunjia Village and no Tubo people to disturb him, he began to prepare to sell a new batch of salt that night.
This time, the ordinary purified salt transported back from Malipo is about 1,500 kilograms, and the remaining 700 kilograms are of high quality, which adds up to about 2,000 kilograms. Liang Chuan called Nong Da Nong Er and planned to discuss where to sell it more appropriately.
After the three brothers of the Nong family followed him, Liang Chuan did not plan to go out and sell salt himself.
As a matter of being too arrogant, Liang Chuan is very noticeable when walking on the road. He is big and works in the salt business, so he is easily targeted.
Except for the third brother of the Nong family, no one will look at each other anywhere, and there is nothing to see!
The three of them touched their heads and finally came up with three plans.
The first is to go back to Guangnan West Road.
At this time, Guangnan was fighting with the Li Dynasty of Nanyue, and the front line was spread out throughout Guangnan, which meant that Nanyue and the Song Dynasty went directly to war. Apart from the Song court, the people had already fought with the Nanyue people in an extremely tragic battle.
This is the time to make money from the country. The various laws of the court are abolished and can take advantage of the situation. Without the attack on private salt by the government, it will be unfavorable!
The second plan was proposed by Nongda. It went northeast to the Dongchuan County of Shicheng, crossed Beipanjiang and arrived in Guizhou. When it arrived there, the salt was a sky-high price. Not only were there many people coming out to make trouble, but the benefits were also considerable.
But the risk is that there are so many bandits on this road, and they are not afraid of officials but are afraid of bandits!
The third plan was proposed by Nong Er, which is to go to South Vietnam to sell salt!
Liang Chuan and Nong Da were both extremely surprised when they heard Nong Er’s suggestion.
Such thoughts are bold!
The most dangerous place is the safest place! Nong Er said it very hard, it was an idea that it came out after careful consideration!
The South Vietnamese soldiers were chasing Liang Chuan and others, and they also guessed that Liang Chuan might flee to Dali. Dali is a neutral country, with Tubo behind it, which is safer than the Song Dynasty! The South Vietnamese would never have thought that the person they tried every means to run back and to their own backyard.
Is Nanyue short of salt? They are also very short of it.
At this time, Nanyue was not only a little shorter and a little darker, but was no different from the Song people in all aspects. They were even closer to the Han culture than the various ethnic minorities in Guangnan!
Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty regarded this land as its territory. The channels and straight roads dug by the Qin Dynasty were also to strengthen its rule over this fertile land. However, after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains were in chaos and the south gradually lost control. During the Tang and Song dynasties, let alone Nanyue, even Nanzhao and others could do nothing.
Nanyue inherited various cultural customs of the Central Plains, and even the language of the writing is the same, and the method of rule is exactly the same. Salt administration is a good means to control the people of the Central Plains, and it is also very useful in Nanyue!
Although Nanyue is also a sea-side area, the altitude difference here is huge. If you walk inland, you may be a mountainous and lush forest area. The people here cannot obtain cheap salt. The salt smuggled from Tubo and Dali every year is an astronomical number! Because of a mouthful of salt, the lifeline of the people is tightly held in the hands of others, and life will not be better if you think about it!
As soon as this idea was proposed, both of them were lit up!
????????????????????? They feared South Vietnam like tigers, but they never thought it was their best idea!
Liang Chuan directly rejected the second idea.
Once the war started, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty had not arrived yet. When the large army came and were enriched to the chieftains of various prefectures, they would have a lot of power to settle spies and traitors hidden among the people, and would also strengthen the control of the people's Tongyue. Salt is an important strategic material, and may be very popular in the black market, but these are definitely controlled by local people. If they want to crack down on competition, they will definitely collude with the government to attack their own foreign households!
So it seems that Guangnan is the best business, but it is not.
The same principle applies to the Song Dynasty.
When wars start in the south, the Song Dynasty will begin to be prepared. They must be guarded against the Tubo people and Dali people on the western plateau. Although the probability of a head-on conflict is very small, it is not ruled out that such a possibility! Xixia has to face the threats from the Khitan and the Song Dynasty!
The control of the Song Dynasty would also be very strict. They would prevent salt from flowing into Nanyue. They would also strengthen the management of salt. So salt was not easy to sell at that time. In the past, the government might not want to manage it, but now they must have to pay attention. If it is not, they are equivalent to funding the enemy! Moreover, Liang Chuan also knew that since ancient times, there were no other bandits in the area of Yunnan, Guizhou and Xiangxi. Unless there were wings, there would be no return!
The three of them finalized the plan and finally decided to disguise themselves as Bai people and sneak into Nanyue with salt.
There is also an ancient tea ceremony here in Nanyue.
From the Sining Prefecture, walk west through Xiushan County, pass through the Buribudou of Weichu Prefecture, you can go south to reach Jinglong Kingdom, and then go west of Nanyue, which is today's predecessor of Laos, then walk along the Lixian River, and finally reach Laizhou. This road is also one of the ancient tea and horse roads that enter the sea in the south.
No one would doubt it from here to the South Vietnam.
Many supplies in South Vietnam were transported from the north through this road and smuggled from the Song Dynasty in disguise!
