The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Renzong hinted that Yun Yanhui wanted him to go to the bargaining field on a business trip. In an instant, Yun Yanhui reviewed what he knew about the bargaining field.

The bargaining field is a place for trade between the two countries. Its existence is relatively sensitive and it has a strong political nature. The current bargaining field was proposed by the Liao State during the Tanyuan alliance, and it was necessary to establish a bargaining field at the border with the Song Dynasty for trade. In this regard, it was indeed the Liao State that was more eager for Song State's commodities.

Both the official and the private can participate in this kind of bargain trade, but under the strict control of the government, the government has priority. Private merchants have to obtain approval and pay commercial tax to enter the bargain market to conduct transactions.

Obtaining generous taxes is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of controlling and preventing some important domestic materials from flowing abroad. The commodities in the market must be inspected before they can be sold.

The country has something to guarantee, but businessmen are profit-seekers. Under the urge of strict control and tax evasion, smuggling trade emerges endlessly.

Renzong said that businessmen colluded with officials to smuggle tea, which actually reflects a major phenomenon, that is, the current smuggling situation is very serious. Quechang, a commodity distribution center, has become the busiest place for smuggling because of the gathering of merchants.

The Song dynasty's bargaining system was not perfected until the Southern Song Dynasty. The current bargaining bar still has some shortcomings. This led to what Renzong said, smugglers colluded with officials.

As for what Renzong said, the popularity of scented tea has led to competition among countries. Yun Yanhui feels that at this time it is time to move out the system that countless traversing predecessors have used-auction.

It is up to countries to bid, and the highest bidder gets the price. At the same time, I have to express regret that because I have a good relationship with everyone, I don’t want to hurt my peace, so I give you the right to choose and let you choose...

In this way, it must be the person with the strongest economy, taking up the bulk, and other people can't protest even if they can't buy it, and the price is the most favorable for Song Dynasty within the range of the other party's tolerance.

After hearing this, Renzong couldn't help saying: "Shameless!"

Yun Yan replied: "...Thank you for the compliment?"

Official, on which side are you on, isn't it right now that you praised my wild goose?

Renzong found out that he couldn't help but speak out, "Ahem, good, sure enough, it's right to call you. Yun Yan returned, I am going to order people to visit the forum, and it is necessary to clear the forum. You too. At the same time, carry out the auction and assist in investigating the case—after all, it involves scented tea. In fact, it is precisely in the name of promoting the auction to secretly investigate the case."

Yun Yan replied weakly: "Officials...I don't have any objection to what you said, but are there any subsidies for sending out far away?"

Yun Yan was really not afraid of going on business when he returned, thinking that he was running around for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, at least two hundred and fifty days. However, at any rate, he was subsidized when he went out for interviews, especially during the period of going to the countryside and holidays.

Renzong looked at him with a smile.

Yun Yan was stared at Mao, "... Then let me take my family to the head office? The border is so messy, I will take someone to protect me."

Since we are going to the border dungeon, can we not bring milk and DPS?

"Am I such a stingy person?" Renzong lifted his chin.

"..." Yun Yan replied speechlessly, thinking that I can rely on it. You said it earlier. Then you still looked at me like that, making me think that I was too arrogant. I just wanted to see others. I didn't expect you to be such an official!

Renzong said, "Is it enough to double your salary tenfold while you are away? After the event is over, there will be another big reward."

Yun Yan nodded vigorously, "Which market is that?"

There are many exchanges between Song and Liao, most of them are in Hebei.

Sure enough, Renzong replied: "Hebei West Road, An Sujun."

—

Yun Yan went back to the palace and saw Zhao Yunchu holding Zhao Yundi's waist. Zhao Yundi curled his hands like a hot wheel, trying to scratch Zhou Huilin who was standing opposite. However, because his younger brother was born with supernatural powers, seeing Zhou Huilin not standing far away, he couldn't scratch people, and he was anxious to death.

Yun Yan thought back to her heart, what is this, elementary school student?

Zhou Huilin stood opposite Zhao Yundi calmly, saying something, and when he saw Yun Yan appearing back, he stopped.

Yun Yan wanted to pretend that he didn't see anything, and walked away from the side, because it seemed a bit embarrassing to say that he knew the two of them.

Zhao Yundi kept calling Zhao Yunchu to let him go, but to no avail. At this moment, seeing Yun Yan returning, he shouted to him, "Brother Yan, you tell me to let me go!"

Yun Yan walked over slowly, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Yundi: "Otherwise?"

Yun Yan said seriously, "That's it. I think after he let go of you, you might be beaten by Zhou Huilin and then go in again." Then, he pointed to the palace behind him.

Zhao Yundi: "..."

Zhao Yundi argued, "That's because my **** is hurt!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Wow, it's really useful for any reason...

Zhao Yundi said in embarrassment, "And isn't there you? Do you want to stand by and watch?"

"Brother, have you figured out that you are still in the palace now!" Zhao Yunchu said quietly, "What can we do?"

Zhao Yundi put his hands down angrily, and said to Zhou Huilin: "Fortune telling you, wait, I will definitely go back."

Yun Yan covered his eyes back: What happened to the people now? Is this **** revenge?

Zhou Huilin pulled out a mocking smile, turned and left without saying a word, but with that expression, Zhao Yundi was so angry. When he turned around, he saw Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu who couldn't bear to look directly, and vowed: "I will definitely Shame..."

"The official wants me to go on a business trip." Yun Yanhui quickly interrupted his conversation, throwing out a topic to divert his attention.

Zhao Yunchu opened his eyes slightly, "Where to go for the errand?"

Yun Yan replied: "Hebei West Road, go to the market, some tea matters."

Zhao Yundi: "Then you remember to help me buy pearls back..."

Yun Yanhui still admired Zhao Yundi's psychological quality. He had just been desperate to fight Zhou Huilin. When he said he was going to the market, he quickly turned his attention to buying pearls.

What Zhao Yunchu cares about is another aspect, "This is a long journey, plus the time to do things. Doesn't it take months to come and go?"

"It should be necessary. I don't know when to start and the specific regulations. Now the official has expressed an intention and awaits a formal decrement." It stands to reason that if it is a case, then the various offices of the Song Dynasty have this function. They all have a time limit for handling cases and must be resolved within a time limit. For example, it is about forty days for Dali Temple.

When Yun Yan said that, there was no sadness on his face that he wanted to leave home.

Zhao Yunchu sighed as if there was nothing, "Brother Yan has always put his work first."

I don't know why, Yun Yan felt a little embarrassed in reply, "Ah, anyway, the officials pay for it, for tourism... Don't go to Bai, you see, I have grown up so much, I haven't been out of Kaifeng Mansion yet."

There was a little smile on Zhao Yunchu's face, "That's what I said."

Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief and bid them farewell to leave the palace.

After returning home, Yun Yan announced the news that he was going on a business trip.

Zheng Ping heard this, although she was a little surprised and worried, but because of the time when Xiaobao went out before, and Yun Yan has always performed well, she did not rush to the world, but subconsciously said: "Should you take Shuangyi?" "

"Aniang said that I was in my heart, and I have this plan." Yun Yan returned with a smile, "I want to take Xiaobao and Shuangyi together."

Xiaobao is not there, but Shuangyi is at home. She is very pleasantly surprised, "Can I go too?"

Yun Yan hadn't traveled far, so why not Shuangyi? These days, there are so many people who have never traveled far in their lives.

"Yes, the scenery over there is not very good, but it is a good shopping place. If you buy directly from the Liao people, it will be much cheaper than buying in Beijing. Speaking of this, what is needed, quickly make a list. , We will come back from the purchase at that time." Yun Yan turned back to the cheerful side of the topic all at once.

This opportunity is rare. The imperial court prohibits envoys from going to the Liao State to make purchases, but there is no rule that they are not allowed to buy things when they go to the border gates on business trips. Compared with buying things at the border gates, the various factors such as distances add up. Not much difference. This is an opportunity for a fair sale.

Speaking of sweeping goods, the two women were really excited, and they chatted about what to buy.

"Buy a mink! Buy a mink!" Yun Yan urged back.

The leather goods of Liao are also special products, and the quality is very good. Yun Yanhui strongly suggested, "When the time comes, Shuangyi wears a mink and eats barbecue with me. Do you think I have to make a golden chain?"

"Is there anything special about this?" Shuang Yi didn't understand Yun Yanhui's picture very well, "Why don't we wear it together, Yan Ge is suitable for white."

"Haha, all right, I'll peel the garlic for you..." Yun Yan said back.

"I don't like to eat." Shuang Yi wrinkled his nose, "You can peel it to Zhao Yunchu."

Yun Yan almost exploded in place, "What did you say?"

Shuangyi looked at Ge Yaner who was suddenly a little excited, "...only him, even if you peel off an oily bug, he will eat it."

"..." Yun Yan returned inexplicably guilty and inexplicably relieved.

Under the guidance of Yun Yanhui, his family didn't have any sad emotions. Instead, they were asking relatives and friends if they needed to purchase a purchase and make a shopping list. There are three of them, two men, and a woman who is more powerful than a man, and can carry a lot of things.

But a few days later, Yun Yan didn't know what to make when he returned.

Because of the official order, he found that the leading official who went to the bar to negotiate errands was actually Dali Temple Zheng, a good friend of mankind, Zhao Yunchu!

Although Zhao Yunchu was an official of Dali Temple, in the past, there was no shortage of Dali Temple officials who served as various other dispatches, including envoys, book revisions, and so on. What's more, the real purpose is to investigate the case.

But why is it Zhao Yunchu? Yun Yanhui always thought that it would be an "old bird", and it was really unexpected for the official family to use it!
