After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the northeastern hinterland was the foundation of the country, so it imitated the systems of the Liao and Song Dynasties and established roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the northeastern hinterland, including Huining Prefecture in Beijing, Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and Dading Prefecture in Beijing.
Distribution of major towns.
In the following decades, the imperial court first promoted generous offers, secondly established immigration, and thirdly granted land to the Jurchens in a unified manner and organized farming to ensure agricultural production. By the time the Jin Kingdom reached its peak,
All the prefectures in Northeast China have flat soil and new crops are everywhere. The so-called "hundreds of thousands of households and more than a thousand miles of cultivated land" are not false.
However, this grand occasion could not last long. After all, the natural environment in the interior of Northeast China was harsh. As the center of the imperial court continued to move south, attention to the Northeast gradually declined.
At the same time, the Jurchen men An Mooke, who was the basis of the rule, were constantly moved inland, and Han children fled widely. The agricultural economy that had been forcibly boosted due to military and political purposes was gradually collapsing.
After arriving in Taihe, the imperial government's governance of local areas became increasingly sparse, and officials could only rely on plundering and gathering. There were complaints in Hebei and Central Plains, not to mention Liaohai. As a result, farming was abandoned in many places, and people of all ethnic groups only lived by fishing and hunting.
Famine. In addition, because of the rebellion of the Khitan Yelvliu Ge, several military disasters depleted the treasury. Now, almost all the local forces entrenched in the northeast are poor.
Under this situation, although horses are produced in the Northeast, there are not many forces that can breed horses on a large scale. This led to the fact that Yelvliu Ge, who claimed to be the King of Liao, had more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry to support him, and he defeated powerful enemies on all sides and did not dare to face them.
.
The Ding Navy is asking for two thousand horses, which is a big deal. Although the Ding Navy Jiedushi Guo Ning is famous for being fierce and unruly, so what?
Heshi Liehuanduan had figured it out early on. What does Guo Ning's rampage in Shandong have to do with Liaodong? In this world, you must first take care of the immediate benefits!
"Haha, haha, Judge Li, please, please. Try this piece of tendon. It is said that the tendons of the hind legs of sheep are only suitable for stewing soup, while the tendons of the front legs are suitable for roasting. Try it, the outer layer will be burnt.
, very soft inside!”
Heshi Liehuanduan personally held a knife and handed a piece of sizzling and oily mutton to Li Yun.
Li Yun smiled and took the knife: "He Shi Lie Dutong, it's hard for you to get two thousand horses, right?"
Heshi Liehuanduan's expression changed, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Here in Fuzhou, there are still some Shiwei tribes that are attached to the imperial court. I can recruit them from them. In addition, the Wendi Hanqing Dog over there in Gaizhou is quite good.
With the support of various Jurchen tribes in the Huosu Hall, we can also gather a group of horses. If you want 2,000 horses, I will bring 2,000 horses, no problem!"
"Then what?"
"What then?"
"Don't you think about the next step, other businesses?"
"What else is there to do?"
Li Yun left the table and stood up, saluting He Shi Liehuan: "Commander, please wait a moment, I will show you something."
"good."
Li Yun hurried out and brought back several subordinates in a moment, each holding boxes of different sizes.
"these are……"
Li Yun dismissed his men, opened the box, and said with a smile: "Du Tong, these boxes are armor, pig iron, and cloth produced in Shandong; those boxes are medicinal materials, raw lacquer, silk cloth, tea, and spices from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.
.Do you think such materials are useful here in Fuzhou? Or are they useful over there in Dading Prefecture, Huining Prefecture, Xianping Prefecture, Taizhou..."
Heshi Liehuanduan's eyes glanced back and forth over these goods, and finally said in a deep voice: "In recent years, there have been wars and fighting in various parts of the Northeast. I think it doesn't matter whether there are tea and spices or not. But for other things, hehe,
They are all good things for the military. How much can you transport? I can eat all of them in one or two boats. Even if there are no horses, I will give you the fur at a discount. There is also ginseng, which is also a good thing! By the way,
There are many yellow-headed Jurchens near your camp. These people are willing to fight with their lives, so they can be paid to you in return!"
"One boat? Two boats?"
Li Yun chuckled: "Du Tong, do you know what I did before I became the judge of this group of herdsmen?"
"Haha, you have won a high-ranking official position at a young age. Naturally, you are a confidant of your family, Guo Jiedu. As for what you do specifically, I really don't know."
"If the capital commander sends people to Zhongdu in the future, you might as well inquire. On that day, Hu Shahu usurped the throne and Zhongdu was in chaos. All the smuggling merchants and fleets in Zhigu Village in Zhongdu fell into the hands of my commander-in-chief. I am specifically responsible for receiving these merchants.
And the one with the fleet is me, Li Yun. The maritime trade routes between the Jin and Song Dynasties were able to support more than half of the Jin Kingdom’s royal families and make them extremely rich. Think about it, what is it like?
scale?"
Heshi Liehuanduan, who was born in the Southwest Recruitment Department, had no direct experience in maritime trade. Hearing what Li Yun said, he frowned and thought for a moment.
And Li Yun lowered his voice: "There are six ships coming from Shandong to Fuzhou this time, and you have seen them all. But my commander-in-chief has a total of four hundred such ships! Four hundred
A ship plying the Bohai Sea can do endless business, and the wealth is as high as the sky... What are you talking about with me, one ship or two ships?"
Li Yun turned back and patted the box twice: "If you like these goods, if you like them, I will be able to ship them to you immediately. In the future, I will be able to ship five times more every month.
Ten times, or even more! Dutong, no matter what item it is, food, cloth, medicinal materials, ironware, everything you can think of, we have it, can you eat it?"
Heshi Liehuanduan felt that Li Yun's tone was a bit contemptuous, but he could not refute it.
He was also a member of the Meng'an nobility of the Jurchens, and his life had been prosperous since childhood. However, today, for the first time in his life, he felt embarrassed due to poverty.
Damn, they all say that the Han Dynasty is rich, but I really didn’t expect it to be this rich! According to this guy, it turns out that all the officials in the Zhongdu court made their fortunes through this?
Heshi Liehuanduan's seemingly rough face showed a rare cautious look.
He thought for a long time and then said: "If you have such strength, it is really not something that I alone can handle in Fuzhou. If you want to do bigger business, you have to cooperate with more people, and you have to
Propaganda envoys, recruiting envoys, and provincial marshals all need to be involved. This is not easy."
Li Yun nodded: "Those things can be borrowed from you. I am just a judge of Qunmu Station, and my family is separated by the sea, so it may not be suitable for me to visit everywhere in Liaodong in person."
, if you can help us connect the dots, the business we do in the northeastern hinterland will definitely be indispensable, how about it?"
Heshi Liehuanduan hesitated for a long time.
If a huge amount of supplies really enter the Northeast, it will not only affect He Shi Lie Huanduan and Wen Dihan Qing Gou, but also Wan Yan Tie Ge, the requisition envoy who lives in Taizhou and is struggling to support them, and Shangjing Province, which is increasingly ignored by Pu Xian Wan Nu.
For Marshal Wanyan Chengchong, it has great benefits.
But precisely because of this, Heshi Liehuanduan would never allow these materials to flow into the hands of Brother Yeluliu or Pu Xianwannu. Especially Pu Xianwannu, He Shiliehuanduan has always been wary of him.
But Pu Xian Wannu is actually the imperial court's new envoy to Liaodong. If Shandong wants to divide the land, they can't get around him according to common sense. If they have to get around him, they have to prove that, except for Pu Xian
Besides Wannu, we have good partners in the Northeast, which are enough to satisfy Shandong.
In this regard, Heshi Liehuanduan is quite confident. He has not been an official in the Northeast for a long time, but his reputation has always been good, and he can talk to tribal chiefs from all over the country...
He glanced at Li Yun: "You just said that my share is indispensable. How much is this share?"
Li Yun laughed loudly: "One copy of the algorithm will always satisfy the president, but there is no rush. If the president really wants to cooperate, why don't we do a business first as a starting point for the future?"
"what business?"
"If you want to do big things and make a lot of money, you must have a decent place to stay. Just one camp is not enough. The entire land south of Hesihan Pass might as well be allocated to our navy for use. How about that?"
"Two boats." Heshi Liehuan held out two fingers: "cloth, medicinal materials, and armor. I want two boats first. There must be a hundred armors."
