The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 216 Arrangement, Arrangement

Brother Richard felt bullied by Liang Xin and Xiao Fengxian.

Xiao Feng smiled first: "Because you are stronger than us and have the courage to carry all living beings equal within seven steps."

Liang Xin: "This is also called the equality of all living beings, and this is called the Seven Hundred Steps."

Three hundred steps is one mile.

Brother Richard himself yelled: "How to block it? Such a big iron ball, as fast as an arrow, tell me what to block it with."

Liang Xin looked serious: "We have tested it and found that with a five-inch thick iron plate, at least two feet buried in the soil and five feet high, a person can survive squatting behind it."

"Five inches!"

"Correct."

Xiao Feng first asked: "Do you know how long the soldiers and horses are separated during a battle?"

Liang Xin looked curious: "I don't know."

"It's several miles, and there are horses. It's only five inches thick. I'm afraid you don't know how heavy five feet is. Is this thing real?"

Liang Xin thought for a while: "It should be true. My eldest lady met her once, and then she was my concubine, who was my eldest lady's former personal maid. I have never seen her, I just heard about it."

Brother Richard immediately said: "This, let us also see it."

Wei Mingxihe was frightened by the equality of all living beings at seventy steps. How terrifying are these seven hundred steps, so Brother Richard wanted to see it very much.

Xiao Fengxian immediately added: "Are you afraid of your eldest wife? She can't even make the decision on this matter."

Liang Xin's voice immediately rose an octave: "Who, who said it? Let me arrange it. Arrange it. In a few days, in a few days."

It sounds like you don't have enough confidence to listen to this tone.

But Xiao Fengxian and Brother Richard still really want to see it.

Liang Xin didn't care about showing it to them, but she still had to perform the show well enough.

So, he needs time to prepare.

"Play cards, play cards." Liang Xin did not intend to mention these serious matters again.

Brother Richard asked again at this time: "You are so brave and dare to say such cruel words to the Khitan Prime Minister, aren't you afraid?"

Liang Xin smiled: "Whoever dares to stop me from getting rich, I will sworn in with him. Let's talk about you. Back then, our Song Dynasty did not allow the border to trade your green salt. Are you in a hurry? If you don't fall out with each other, how can you talk about morality? , love, or fear or lack of fear, are all empty, where do you think the clothes I am wearing come from?"

Duan Zhengyan: “Nature is woven with nails and threads.”

"Wrong." Liang Xin's voice became louder: "It was piled up one copper coin after another. It's hundreds of coins. The four of us together can't carry so many copper coins."

Xiao Feng first poured tea for Liang Xin: "I'm a little curious."

"Playing cards, playing cards, asking so many gossips." Liang Xin obviously didn't want to answer.

"Just one sentence."

"The last sentence."

"Last question, your family is so powerful, why are you not greedy?"

Liang Xin smiled coldly: "Your family is also a relative of the Khitan emperor. How much money does your family embezzle? I earn more in one day than your family does in a year. Anyone who gets rich with me is richer than you. Who dares to touch They will fight for my money, because touching my money means cutting off their financial path."

Xiao Fengxian looked confused.

Liang Xin put it bluntly: "There is a Khitan man named Zhang Xiaojie. He once said arrogantly that if he didn't have millions of gold, he wouldn't be enough to serve as Prime Minister. It seems that he said so. But in fact, when he was killed, Did you find millions of gold in your house?"

Xiao Feng answered first: "One hundred thousand in gold and several hundred thousand in silver are almost available."

Liang Xin smiled: "I have nearly [-] tons of pepper."

Bang, the cards in Xiao Fengxian's hand fell directly to the ground.

In the Tang Dynasty, the greedy family had [-] dans of pepper, which shocked countless people. Liang Xin actually said that there were [-] dans of pepper in his hands. Xiao Fengxian was really frightened.

Liang Xin touched the cards herself: "You are not convinced that you are uneducated. Do you know the price of turmeric?"

"very cheap."

"It's cheap. As the Silk Road goes west, the best turmeric, camphor, and musk are very valuable, not cheaper than silver. Next, there are cinnamon and cinnamon. Kucha's fennel and cumin are hugely profitable if shipped west. Besides, You don’t understand, people over there are fighting to death all day long, and countless people have died just for a few kilograms of this thing I’m talking about.”

"Just for a few thousand kilograms?" Liang Xin did not explain further: "Don't ask me, go talk to the big food merchants, and you will understand. Qiuci, 5000 million kilograms a year, this is called greed, go and cheat A few copper coins for a poor man, but you are going to laugh me to death."

"Play cards, play cards."

Liang Xin urged the three of them to play cards quickly.

Brother Richard said he could understand that he would be beaten to death for a few kilograms of food.

Back then, it was all about salt.

The Song Dynasty stopped buying salt from Xixia, and Xixia went to war.

If there is no war, there will be internal chaos, so he understands.

Hearing what Liang Xin said, he understood and understood why Liang Xin dared to fight against Khitan Prime Minister Xiao Baoxian so stubbornly. Liang Xin must represent not only his own interests, but also those of the Cao family and many people in the Song Dynasty. Noble.

So, how much does he have in his hands?

how many.

Cao Yang has become rich recently.

It should be said that everyone who went to Budai City got rich.

A small team exploring the mountains discovered a large area of ​​very dense natural camphor trees.

They cut the tree back, beat it into slag, soaked it in water, and steamed it out. The last thing left behind were mothballs. Not to mention sending these to the Western Regions, they were quite valuable even in Bianjing City.

Next, they have to grow sugar cane to make sugar, which is another job that makes a lot of money.

In addition to these, there is also a lot of natural wild hemp here, which can be used to make clothes and braid ropes.

At the moment, the professional people haven't arrived yet, but all the soldiers believe that Liuqiu is a treasure house. If this place is well managed, the lower-class soldiers can earn more than one hundred gu a year, and that's after excluding food and drink.

opportunity.

When they first came here, many people just wanted to follow orders, and then they heard that they could make salt, so they came here.

Now, many soldiers have begun to write letters to their families, hoping that the whole family can come over and do some work other than making salt, and they will definitely become rich.

In the past, there were escapes.

It is a problem for a single family or several families to survive in this place.

Thousands of soldiers and horses came here, and with good logistical supplies, a city was built here in just a few months.

Coupled with abundant materials, one will naturally become rich gradually.

As for pepper.

Haha.

Liang Xin only had five kilograms of pepper on hand at most, and there were ten thousand dans of pepper from there.

Bullshit can be boasted.

As long as someone doesn't pierce the skin.

Liang Xin does have a pepper fleet, but the flagship has just laid down its keel.

a few days later.

The school grounds outside Bianjing City.

Chen Guan came to Liang Xin and said, "Khitan Prime Minister also wants to see your seven hundred steps."

"I have seven hundred steps there, no."

Liang Xin decisively refused.

Chen Guan sat aside, picked up the tea cup, and drank tea without saying anything.

Liang immediately stepped forward and said, "The Prime Minister of Khitan is an honored guest."

Liang Xin said with a dark face: "He...scared me."

Liang Xian: "He's going to apologize to you?"
