Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 501 Can He Really Provide Tea and Silk to Daxia? (four more)

And that Wei Yeguang narrowed his eyes into slits and looked at the wealthy businessman in Tokyo.

"The most important thing is tea, followed by silk. If you can really get it, maybe I can think of a way for you?"

"Tea, if it's just a few thousand catties of tea, I can think of a way."

"A few thousand catties, you said just now, how many thousand catties can you get?"

Wei Ming Yeguang's eyes lit up when he heard it, he stretched out his big hand, and grabbed Duan Zhongping's arm firmly.

Seeing Weiming Yeguang's expression, it was as if seeing a wolf with Bai Nennen rabbit flirting in front of him.

Duan Zhongping pulled back his wrinkled old hand uncomfortably, and forced a smile.

"It's really hard to say how much we can get. After all, I have to risk my head to do these things..."

"The important thing is, even if the old man tried his best to get it, he still couldn't get enough cotton..."

Wei Ming Yeguang stared at Duan Zhongping in front of him, as if he wanted to see through whether this cunning businessman from Song Guohao was playing tricks on him, or if he really had that ability.

At this moment, Duan Zhongping was scratching his scalp in distress, at this moment, he wished to scratch himself bald, and let that Wei Yeguang see his pain and embarrassment.

And the little abacus in Wei Ming Yeguang's heart was also crackling non-stop.

You must know that in the past, the Song Dynasty gave Xixia a gift of ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand pieces of silk, twenty thousand guan of money, and twenty thousand catties of tea.

However, as the trade between Song and Xia has been cut off over the years, Xixia needs to spend a lot of money every year to exchange tea and silk from the Liao Kingdom.

If this man is skilled in Tokyo, even in the northwest border, he can safely transport tens of thousands of acres of cotton back to the Song Dynasty.

It can be seen that this old boy is not simple, maybe he really has a way to get the tea and silk that Xixia urgently needs.

But now, the Xingqing Mansion is about to fight for these necessary supplies.

Especially after the Liao Kingdom also cut off the trade with Xixia, the price of tea in Xixia is simply outrageous.

Wei Ming Yeguang stared at the wealthy merchant from the Song Dynasty with sparkling eyes, as if he saw a pile of human-shaped gold ingots.

The greed in his heart made Weiming Yeguang eager to agree.

But the problem is that there are not many fields in Weizhou, and the requirements of the big shopkeeper in this section are five times the planting volume of last year.

If the 15 mu is multiplied by five times, it will be a full 75 mu. This figure is really not a small amount.

Just like the Weizhou Jingsai Army Division, after so many years, the grain storage has been fluctuating around [-] shi.

And if 75 mu of land is really used to grow cotton, the grain income of the entire Xixia will be affected.

However, when I think of the present, there is a lack of tea and silk in Xixia.

If he can get enough tea and silk from this big shopkeeper, then he really has made a great contribution to the imperial court.

The important thing is, if you can get the approval or acquiescence of the leader Li Ganshun, then.

It is not impossible for Weizhou to use half of the nearly 20 mu of land to grow cotton. After all, no one thinks too much money.

After the two of them had a secret discussion in the Dutong Army Mansion for most of the night, Duan Zhongping took his leave.

After leaving the Dutong Army Mansion, Gu Min quietly jumped into the carriage and asked in a low voice how Duan Zhongping was doing.

"It's hard to say now, but according to the old man's observation of the famous Yeguang, he must have been tempted."

"It's just that he said that he needs to think about it carefully. In addition, he kept asking the old man if he could really get tea and silk, and he kept asking the amount..."

"It seems that these things can really impress these Xixia barbarians."

Gu Min couldn't help but grinned sullenly. After chatting with Duan Zhongping for a few more words, he got out of the carriage respectfully and continued to act as a loyal follower.

And in their team of more than a hundred people, a full third are all capable detectives of the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty.

After Gu Min and Deng Da muttered to each other in a low voice, they saw the Xixia soldiers on the night watch ahead, and closed their mouths tacitly.

It wasn't until the other party left his sight that Gu Min whispered to Deng Da.

"I'm afraid the master wants to stay here for a few more days. It's a good time to try to get in touch with the people here and check it out. What have they found out here..."

"I will understand at the end."

#####
On the next day, Duan Zhongping went to the Dutong Army Mansion again, and when he saw Wei Ming Yeguang, he was turned away.

A deputy commander of the capital received Duan Zhongping and told Duan Zhongping that Wei Ming Yeguang had to leave for a few days because of an emergency.

I also ask Duan Zhongping to stay here safely. It won't be long before his Wei Yeguang will come back and continue to have a good time with Duan Da shopkeeper.

What Duan Zhongping didn't expect was that the famous Yeguang didn't avoid him because he didn't think carefully.

But at this moment, he has already led his confidants and is galloping towards the Xingqing mansion on horseback.

#####
As the person in charge of one of the Twelve Military Divisions of Xixia, and the host of the important military town of Xixia, the appearance of Weiming Yeguang in Xingqing Mansion is naturally not a trivial matter.

The young Li Ganshun, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, did not expect that this general who had always been devoted to his duties would come suddenly.

However, after hearing about the intention of Weiming Yeguang's visit, he immediately summoned the general in charge of the army.

After hearing Weiming Yeguang's statement that the Song Guohao businessman intends to buy cotton in Xixia, he is even willing to smuggle tea for the sake of cotton.

Li Qianshun couldn't help but fell into doubt, and even his first thought was whether this horse riding was a trap for Song Guo.

Until then, Wei Ming Yeguang hesitantly told the origin of this wealthy businessman from the Song Dynasty.

And last year, in order to repay the other party, I had no choice but to take out some fields to grow cotton, and I have already received rich returns.

Another thing is that plants like cotton must grow vigorously in places with large temperature differences and dry climate and little rain. Such growth habits are indeed very suitable for the Xixia region.

It was only then that Li Qianshun dared to believe that the matter was true, after all Wei Mingye Guang did not dare to joke about such a big matter.

"The 75 mu is all used to grow the cotton. In this way, my Daxia is equivalent to losing nearly a million shi of grain."

"What the king said is true, but if he can provide me with a large amount of tea and silk..."

Hearing this, Li Qianshun couldn't help hesitating. Now, Xixia is really having a headache because of the tea and silk.
