Three days later, a caravan arrived in Yan'an.This caravan is not only extremely large, but also surrounded by some elite soldiers from the Hengshan defense line to escort them along the way, which can be said to be extremely bombarded.Now the Jin State and the Western Xia are in a state of war, and the two armies are already fighting on the front line.It stands to reason that a merchant from Western Xia would not be able to appear in the territory of the Jin Kingdom in a grand manner no matter what, let alone make such a big battle.It's not logical anyway!!
But the truth is so strange, not only did he appear, but he also appeared under the escort of the elite of the Jin Kingdom, as if this was not a businessman, but a distinguished guest.In fact, really speaking, Zhang Li can definitely be regarded as a VIP in Guanzhong.But he can enjoy the treatment of a VIP without relying on his patriarch who is the third envoy.He relied on his goods............
Yes, cargo!!
When the Western Xia traded with the Central Plains, they would certainly buy a large number of daily necessities that could only be produced in the Central Plains.But he would also bring with him a large amount of goods that only the Western Xia could produce.For example, the green salt, a specialty of Qingzhou in Western Xia, is sought after by the wealthy families in the Central Plains because of its excellent quality.And the rhubarb, a medicinal material produced in large quantities in Western Xia, is even more famous.And these things are generally brought to the negotiating table by the officials of the two countries and become their respective bargaining chips.Of course, during the war, trade between the two countries was cut off, and the trade between the two sides could only rely on smuggling............
Smuggling is of course against the law, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and sometimes those in power can only turn a blind eye.However, in addition, the Silk Road of Western Xiaka cut off the connection between the Central Plains and Central Asia.Therefore, Zhang Li has absolutely no shortage of rare treasures from Central Asia and even the West.And these treasures are the magic weapon for Zhang Li to make friends with those powerful people and build a protective umbrella for himself.No, Zhang Li had just entered the inn they had chartered in Yan'an Mansion in advance, and he hadn't had time to catch his breath.I saw a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, surrounded by a group of guards with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and found Zhang Li."
Shopkeeper Zhang, we see that you are going to make a lot of money this time!!"
Before the person entered the house, the sharp voice of the male duck came in.Zhang Li, who was assigning tasks to his subordinates, saw this person coming, and immediately trotted out with a smile on his face and greeted: "Oops!!
What I, Zhang Li, is doing errands for the nobles, don't shiver at me so much.While talking, a piece of fine Hetian jade, when they were greeting each other, unknowingly slipped from Zhang Li's hand into the sleeve of the middle-aged eunuch.The middle-aged eunuch, after rubbing his hand slightly, the smile on his face became even brighter.After that, after the two of them chatted some inconsequential gossip, the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned pale, and he said to Zhang Li: "Shopkeeper Zhang, did you bring the things that Concubine Yuan asked for?"
”"What the mother wants, how dare you slack off."
As he spoke, a strong man beside Zhang Li put down the big package that he had been carrying behind him.When I opened the package, I saw a locked wooden box.After that, in front of the middle-aged man, Zhang Li took out a key from his arms and opened the wooden box............
The middle-aged man walked for a while, and saw a strong man walking in............
"This is a famous swordsmith in Western Xia, a divine weapon that has been carefully built for three years!"
It's my Zhang family, a birthday gift prepared for the general of the auxiliary country!
”As he spoke, Zhang Li plucked out a piece of hair and placed it on the edge of the sword.With a gentle blow, the hair was cut in two............
When this strong man came out with a sword box, the joy on his face could not be concealed.It was evident that the extra sheathed sword at his waist was the source of his joy............
When Zhang Li saw off the fourth visitor, he waved his hand expressionlessly, and the guards beside him closed the door of the inn.When the wealthy merchants who were waiting outside the inn and were ready to come to the relationship, they all left with a sigh after looking at the slowly closing door.Obviously, Zhang Li is no longer willing to meet customers, and if he wants to get Zhang Li's goods, he must compete with various wealthy merchants in three days.However, just when Zhang Li, who had been busy for a day, was ready to go to bed.A guard walked over and whispered in Zhang Li's ear for a while.Zhang Li, who was originally sleepy-eyed, instantly widened his eyes and asked sharply, "What about people?"
”"In the west courtyard, the head subordinates have already seen it, absolutely no problem!!""
No hurry, no hurry, the top priority now is how to sell those goods.You make your brothers smarter, don't be lazy. ”After the guard retreated, Zhang Li did not feel sleepy, he put on his robe, leaned back on the chair in front of the desk without any posture, and thought about the transactions with various merchants in three days.This time, he not only brought a large number of Western Xia specialties, but also prepared to purchase a large number of cloth, porcelain, tea and other materials from the Central Plains.But now there is a force behind all the businessmen in Yan'an Mansion.Who do you trade with?
How to trade?
It's all university asking.What he is thinking about now is not whether to make money or not, what he has to think about is how to trade in order to benefit Western Xia..................
The next day, an explosive news made the entire Yan'an Mansion boil.The prefect of Yan'an Prefecture was beheaded by a strong man in his own home, and his death was tragic.The dignified prefect of the imperial court actually died in vain at home, which is simply a provocation to the imperial court.What is the difference between this and rebellion!!
As a result, General Changshi of Zhaowu, who stayed in Yan'an Mansion, immediately took over the case.and mobilized the garrison outside the city of Yan'an Mansion, entered and exited Yan'an Mansion, and prepared to investigate to the end............
In fact, this kind of thing is still a professional one, and the investigation of cases by the army is a joke.They have no effect at all except that they can turn Yan'an Mansion upside down and make people panic..................
Three days later, Zhang Li hosted a banquet for wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in the largest restaurant in Yan'an Mansion.One meal, they ate for the whole day.In the process of eating and drinking, Zhang Li's goods were all replaced by boxes of copper coins and more supplies............
The next day, just as Zhang Li was discussing the return trip, he suddenly remembered the uninvited guest a few days ago.—————— in the courtyard to the west of the inn, a middle-aged man in a black robe was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking a cup of stuffy wine.Not only did he ignore the few delicate snacks on the table, and the few strong men with dissatisfied faces behind him, but he also ignored the fat man in front of him who was staring at him with a very good eye.It was as if there was nothing but wine in his eyes............
Zhang Li stood in front of the stone table and examined the man for a while.The first image of this person to him is the vicissitudes of life, just like the kind of old minister who has experienced the ups and downs of the sea for decades, and his eyes contain the wisdom to see through the world.This kind of wisdom is honed little by little with time, and it cannot be obtained by reading a few books of sages.It's hard to imagine that the guy in front of him, who is not as old as himself, can have such a rich life experience.Although Zhang Li is not the kind of person who is extremely smart and has a bright eye.But years of experience have trained him to have a brilliant vision.In his image, even the patriarch who was in the position of the third envoy did not have such a wise look."
Hehehe, on the occasion of this beautiful day, why is Mr. drinking here alone?
Come on!
Wine!!
”As soon as Zhang Li's words fell, several servants removed the few side dishes that had been cold on the table, re-served a few more delicate dishes that had just come out of the pot, and replaced them with a few pots of good wine.And the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Li's behavior with a smile like this, without saying anything at all.After the wine and food were all purchased, Zhang Li got up and picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine for himself and the middle-aged man.He picked up his wine glass and said to the middle-aged man: "A few days ago, Zhang was busy running around for some things, and he neglected Mr., but I shouldn't have allowed me to punish myself with three glasses to make amends for Mr. ”After that, Zhang Li immediately drank the wine in the cup without any delay.After three glasses of wine, the middle-aged man picked up the wine glass, and after slightly signaling to Zhang Li, he also drank it all.Since the mysterious person in front of him who doesn't know the root is willing to drink, it means that the snubbing of the past few days has been completely exposed.Zhang Lineng, who has been in charge of the Dajin and Xixia trade routes for so many years, has been in charge of the trade routes of Dajin and Xixia for so many years, and has satisfied the magnates of both countries, relying on the word prudence.Although this mysterious person didn't know where he came from, Zhang Li instinctively felt that this person definitely had this shocking ability.Treat this kind of person, whether it is friend or foe, it is better not to offend."
Dare to ask where is the sir?"
After Zhang Li chatted a few words, he began to inquire about the origin of this person.After hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed, and said astringently: "In Xia Linyue, Yongxing Junlu Huayin people ............"
"Oh, Your Excellency is also Huayin people!"
To tell the truth, although Zai Xia is in Daxia (because Xixia is in the west, we call him Xixia, but his country name is Daxia), but his ancestral home is Huayin.I didn't expect to meet someone from my hometown again, what a blessing!!
”After saying that, Zhang Li picked up the wine glass, and after a slight gesture to Lin Yue, he drank it all.But just as Zhang Li raised his head to drink, a trace of fierceness flashed between Lin Yue's eyebrows, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.A difficult smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he also took a drink from his glass."
From the point of view below, Mr.
Lin is by no means extraordinary, and he should have a prosperous future, how did he end up in this situation?""
The past is unbearable............
Lin Yue said, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all.Because I drank too fast, I choked on it.Since Lin Yue was reluctant to say, Zhang Li didn't ask again, and after pouring wine for the two of them again, he asked sincerely: "I don't know if Mr.
Lin came to find Zhang, but what are the difficulties?"
”When Lin Yue heard this, he picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose.While smelling the wine, he looked at this sincere fat face.Just when Zhang Li's face was about to cramp, Lin Yue drank all the wine in the cup, and said solemnly: "I don't hide it, I know that Brother Zhang is a member of the third envoy clan, so I dare to ask Brother Zhang to introduce the third envoy." ”"This is not difficult, the world knows that I am thirsty for talents, and I have always been generous to high-ranking officials.At that time, the ancestor was just a down-and-out scholar, but he was relied on by Emperor Wulie (Li Yuanhao) as a humerus, and made great achievements for the Great Xia Dynasty.So as long as Mr. has the ability, I will wait for the summer sweep!!
”When Zhang Li said this, he was extremely solemn.In addition to making friends with the high-level officials of the Jin State, exploring various information of the Jin State, and exchanging a large number of supplies for the Western Xia.It is also his mission to win over and rebel against the officials within the Jin State and recruit some talents from the Jin State."
Huh!!"
Lin Yue chuckled a few times and said, "I, Lin Mou, still have two brushes, and the head of the Yan'an prefect is my vote, I don't know if Brother Zhang is satisfied?"
”"Don't misunderstand Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Lin, I don't doubt Mr.
Lin's meaning.Sir, rest assured, after returning to Great Xia, I will naturally introduce Mr.We're going to return to Great Xia in three days, and I don't know if Mr. has any relatives or ............
Zhang will naturally handle it properly for Mr. and will send them to Daxia safely!!
”"Lin is alone, he has no long things, so he is left with this stinky skin............"
"Then please ask Mr.
Lin to stay for two or three days, he is busy with mundane affairs, and he will leave first."
After finishing speaking, he scolded the servants in the courtyard: "You guys, take good care of your husband these days!!
”After Zhang Li left, Lin Yue instructed the servants to clean up, and he entered the house.In the bedroom, there is a bronze mirror that is used to organize the clothes.Lin Yue stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes in the bronze mirror, and secretly said in his heart, even if he met Li Zunxiang face-to-face, he should not recognize it, this sad person who is more than half a hundred years old will be the head of the Huashan faction who held him hostage in the army back then..................
Well, this Lin Yue is Lin Bufan's pretense, he just uses his internal strength to skillfully make his face older.Although Lin Bufan is now famous all over the world, he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old in terms of age, which is younger than Xin Ji.So no one would associate this sad person, who seemed to be in his forties or fifties, with the head of the Huashan faction in his prime.This is the entry point that Lin Bufan thought of to break into Western Xia, with a reasonable identity, he has room to show.Otherwise, if Lin Bufan was stunned and entered Xingqing Mansion to make trouble, he would definitely die and be buried..................
And the unlucky prefect of Yan'an is his vote.To be honest, whether it is Lin Bufan or Wang Huanzhang, it is not a day or two to kill him..................
Yipintang, I, Lin someone, will be here soon, I want to see if this Yipintang commander is really much stronger than the old monk back then!!
