The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 161 This business can be done

As for thirty miles, this is just a rhetoric.

If Goryeo was really thirty miles away from Kaicheng, then from the seaside pier you would be directly under the city wall of Goryeo. Many years ago, the Liao Kingdom attacked Goryeo and destroyed Goryeo.

The Goryeo people mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians to merge Kaesong and Songak and rebuild the royal city.

Therefore, even if the Goryeo people do not agree to give thirty miles to the royal city, go further south. Goryeo still has many good places, good places that can be used as docks and ports.

As for thirty miles, if the Koreans want a discount.

If you reduce it by three miles, Liang Xin will reduce the agreed 50 guan by [-] guan.

This is not the cost of renting a place, but the amount of copper coins used to buy Goryeo products.

When seven.

This amount is good. Compared with Shenzong, which opened the money ban for a period of time and only collected [-] coins per tax, the income is much higher.

The most important thing right now is to start digging copper mines in Raozhou and start minting money.

After Pu Jiannan left, Liang Xin went to Zhao Bijun's courtyard.

After entering the room, Liang Xin asked: "Let me ask you what kind of goods are most profitable to traffic to Goryeo."

Zhao Bijun really understood: "The goods of our Song Dynasty are mainly tea, silk, porcelain, books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The most profitable ones are lychees shipped from Quanzhou to the Liao Kingdom, which is our Jizhou. "

"Lychee?" Liang Xin couldn't believe it: "It was shipped by sea and it wasn't all rotten."

Zhao Bijun replied: "There are two ways, one is to find a way to keep it fresh. The other is, I have only heard of it, but no one has actually used it. The lychees from Quanzhou are tribute sent to Bianjing City, and they can be transported to Bianzhou Beijing, of course it can be transported to Jizhou."

"Tell me another way and I'll listen."

Zhao Bijun replied: "Some businessmen asked farmers to plant lychees in huge wooden barrels. This may require customizing a special ship to transport the barrels."

Liang Xin: "It's a good and interesting way."

Zhao Bijun continued: "There are also lychees from the west of Lingnan. Merchants use giant bamboos to pack the lychees and seal them. Or they use wax to seal the pedicles of the lychees when they are picked, and then put them into wooden barrels filled with water. Medium-sealed. It can also be shipped to Bianjing, but it’s not as fresh as Quanzhou’s and is very expensive.”

Don't think about it, it must be expensive.

And it’s definitely not as delicious as the place of origin.

Rare things must be treasures if placed in Bianjing City.

Speaking of treasures, Liang Xin is still waiting for the snow to fall.

If it snows, his greenhouse vegetables will be very expensive.

Zhao Bijun asked: "Mr. Xin, why do you ask this suddenly?"

Liang Xin replied: "I asked Gao Li to lend us thirty miles to the Song Dynasty, and I am going to organize businessmen to do business. This must make money. The more you can make, the better."

"By the way, in my name, go and rescue one of the Koreans, Yin, who was trafficked by the Jurchens. Don't take him home. Find a quiet place to settle him. Let me think about it later."

"Yes. Let's go now." Zhao Bijun never asked why.

Liang Xin gave her too much, and Zhao Bijun was very happy when she finally asked herself to do something.

The next day, Liang Xin started to work again.

Bianjing is a plain with no mountains.

However, it doesn't matter.

Just outside Bianjing City, Huangzhuang.

An old, vacant village. The people in this village all moved to the new village because they needed to grow vegetables in greenhouses.It's not that Liang Xin asked for forced relocation, but that the newly built place has many nurseries that need heating.

The tenants built the nursery houses slightly larger and the accommodation houses larger.

All moved over.

Not only can you take care of them day and night, but the overnight rooms next to the nursery all have charcoal stoves, which are particularly warm in winter.

Moreover, the water source in the old village is not good.

In the new place, a canal was dug to bring the water source more conveniently and warmly.

No one lives in the old village anymore.

Liang Xin surrounded the old village and arranged eight wooden arrow towers next to it. The village was octagonal and many strange fences, traps, etc. were added.

Prepare to build a large-scale real-life chicken-eating activity area.

All soldiers from the Dianqian Division can sign up to participate, and those who win will have the opportunity to make a fortune.At this time, Yanzhou.

For the Song Dynasty, this place was considered a border state, and it was very remote.

Lu Huiqing is here.

After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he tried to expand his connections and wanted to return to Bianjing, but failed.

Later, when he wanted to be transferred to Zhennan, Zeng Bu became the prime minister, so naturally he would not agree.

Still leaving him here in a remote place.

On this day, a visitor suddenly arrived.

Lu Huiqing was also a deputy privy envoy and deputy prime minister in Bianjing City. He could tell at a glance that the person coming was a eunuch.

Welcoming guests into the house.

The guests didn't say much, and just laid out their things in large and small bags.

Lu Huiqing is a person who knows goods, and he can tell at a glance that these are all items from the Tang Dynasty, and a few of them are treasures leaked from the Tang Palace.

"This is a four-legged cloud platform with bamboo forest and mud inkstone?" Lu Huiqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

This thing cannot be called an inkstone, but a treasure.

If placed in Bianjing, it would be priceless.

Lu Hui said: "Dear guest, please tell me clearly. I am already an exile in Bianzhou. I have nothing to do for you."

The visitor didn't say anything, and took out a letter and handed it to Lu Hui for a chat.

Lu Huiqing thought this person was mute, so he stopped asking and picked up the letter.

Lu Huichao was even more surprised when he opened the letter.

The content of the letter was to ask him to write a memorial that would make the current officials happy.Then these things, which he had worked hard to find, were dedicated to the officials.

As long as the official is happy, he will be transferred back to the capital immediately, where he will be waiting for him in the position of right servant.

"Excuse me?"

The visitor shook his head and just pointed at the letter.

This attitude is very clear, he will not say anything, not a word.

If Lu Huiqing means it, he should act according to what is written in the letter. If he doesn't mean it, he can just leave by himself.

This still needs to be considered.

Lu Huiliao immediately sat down and started writing the memorial.

Although he didn't know who it was, there was a father-in-law in front of him. Lu Huiqing's guess was that this might be the official's intention.

Just when Lu Huiqing was making efforts to prepare to return to Bianjing.

A small accident caused Liang Xin's heart to relapse.

this day.

Cao Ruilai reported to Cao Tan that the heads of many of the money bankers had disappeared. Naturally, a gangster named Lu Gao was among them. There were also many evil officials from various prefectures and counties who had colluded with them. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment were in charge of them. .

Liang Xin really got a list.

A list of new officials to replace evil officials in surrounding states and counties.

What to say about this list.

Fair, quite fair.

Zhang Dun was just overbearing and wanted to use himself to regain the power of the independent prime minister, but he did not use private individuals.

Zhang Dun was neither a traitor nor a bad person, Liang Xin knew this very well.

He is not corrupt, not partial, not flattering, and not traitorous.

But Liang Xin had to demote him out of Beijing.

The reason is very selfish, because Liang Xin does not want to plan for the future of the Song Dynasty, but for the world, and now is an opportunity.

He demoted Zhang Dun and went to Goryeo.
