"Miss Jin, can Mrs Jin be in there?"

While Wu Haogu was tasting the Kaifeng dishes of Xiaofanlou and listening to Qiao Jinniang sing the song, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside the door. Then he heard Qiao Jinniang's "mother" speak, "Master Xiao, what gust of wind blows you?"

It was naturally Xiao Baoxian! He was sitting in the best seat downstairs, waiting to listen to Qiao Jinniang sing the song. However, he had not seen Qiao Jinniang's figure for a long time. Just when Xiao Baoxian was a little impatient, Qiao Jinniang's beautiful and beautiful singing came from somewhere on the second floor of Xiao Fanlou. The lyrics he sang seemed to be a four-character quatrain, which was very neatly done, and it was obviously written by famous masters.

Just as Xiao Baoxian was savoring the poem, someone mentioned it in his ear, saying that this poem was Su Dongpo's new work, and that a group of Dongpo's new works came to Qingzhou City... Xiao Baoxian is a fan of Su Dongpo. Now he could no longer hold back and immediately went to the second floor to meet Qiao Jinniang, and by the way, he asked her if she had any other Dongpo's new works.

Xiao Bao went up the second floor first, followed the singing and went outside the private room where Wu Haogu was. The door was open, but Jin's mother was guarding outside the door and blocked Xiao Baoxian.

"Oh, I heard Mrs. Jin's singing downstairs...Who made the lyrics?"

"It's Mr. Dongpo." Jin's mother said with a smile, "Today, a pretty Jinniang's confidant came from Kaifeng Mansion and brought Mr. Dongpo's new work."

"That confidant is..."

At this time, the singing in the private room suddenly stopped, and then the voice of the pretty golden lady came: "Since there are good guests, please come in and meet."

After hearing this, Xiao Bao first stepped into the private room, and then saw a pretty golden lady sitting opposite a young scholar in her early twenties. There were some wine, dishes and a jade zither on a square table between them, as well as four treasures of the study and a piece of rice paper full of words.

"Mr. Xiao," Qiao Jinniang stood up and gave Xiao Bao a blessing first. "I will introduce you to you. This is Wu Chongdao, a martial artist from the painting merchant from Kaifeng Prefecture... Wu Zheng, this is Xiao Yuanwai from Cangzhou."

Wu Haogu stood up, bowed his hand, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm in Kaifeng Wu Haogu."

"Wu Haogu?" Xiao Baoxian seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, and thought hard, "Ah, the number one person in the painting? Are you the number one person in the painting?"

Wu Haogu thought: This Xiao Baoxian is indeed a middle-aged literary man. Not only do he like Su Dongpo's poems, but he listened to the singing of the Kaifeng Castes, but he also knew that he was the first person in the painting.

Obviously you can make friends!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogugong bowed and smiled and said, "I dare not call it the first person in the painting. Here are just a painter. This time, some mundane affairs came to Qingzhou and brought a new collection of poems by Mr. Dongpo to Niangzi.

I think Mr. Xiao also likes Mr. Dongpo’s poems and Mrs. Jin’s songs. How about it?”

"Listen to the music with wine? OK!" Xiao Bao smiled and nodded first, then sat down, without any pretentiousness.

Although this man is arty, he looks generous. Wu Haogu thought to himself: As long as he can meet his preferences, it will not be difficult to make friends with him.

Qiao Jinniang opened her singing voice again and chanted the first song of Su Dongpo's "Four Poems with Tao Tingyun".

"What a poem, a good song!" Xiao Baoxian asked with a smile on his palm, "Miss Jin, is there any?"

"It's gone today." Wu Haogu replied in the form of Qiao Jinniang, "I came out of the welcome banquet of Qingzhou magistrate. I came in a hurry and forgot the collection of poems. Fortunately, I still remember one of them, so I asked Niangzi to sing it first."

Xiao Baoxian was stunned, "The welcoming banquet of the prefect of Qingzhou?"

Wu Haogu Yixiao: "I have an official position under my jurisdiction and have also made an appointment to come to Qingzhou as a entourage of Zhang Zhongshu."

He was actually Zhang Shangying's escort? What did Zhang Shangying want to do when he got a painting merchant as an escort? Xiao Bao was stunned when he heard Wu Haogu's words. Obviously, the intelligence work of the Liao Kingdom was as bad as that of the Song Kingdom. He didn't know how good Wu Haogu's official businessman was doing now. Maybe it was because the Liao officials who were responsible for collecting information from the Song Dynasty that Wu Haogu was not important and was not worth investigating and reporting?

Wu Haogu gave Qiao Jinniang a wink, and Qiao Jinniang asked Xiao Bao first: "Wu Da official, what's the point of not being able to come to Qingzhou from afar?"

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Although I have an official position, I am a businessman after all, and I always make profits."

That's right! Xiao Baoxian said in his heart: Merchants are profit-oriented! This Wu Haogu must have seen the profitability of Jiehe Market and followed Zhang Shangying. But what kind of benefits does Jiehe Market have?

"Is there any profit in Qingzhou?" asked Qiao Jinniang.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "We, the Bianliangzi, are not easy to interfere in the interests of Qingzhou, but the imperial court has recently discussed with the Liao people to open a Jiehe Commercial Market. In the future, the transactions in Song and Liao will not be in Qingzhou. They will all move to the Xin Shang Market on the border of the Jiehe River north of Cangzhou.

Moreover, Jiehe Market will be built in large quantities, not only to do trade, but also to develop industries and colonize the people. In the future, there may be 100,000 merchants gathered here, but it is the first-class commercial port in the north. Mrs. Jin, I think you don’t go back to Kaifeng Prefecture, you will live in Jiehe Market in the future."

This suggestion is good! Xiao Bao nodded gently and had a much better impression of the businessman Wu Haogu.

"Oh," Qiao Jinniang shook her head, "I don't know how many years will the Jiehe River really become prosperous... and the Liao people may not agree, right?"

"That's right," Wu Haogu nodded slightly. "But the Liao people will definitely agree!"

Xiao Baoxian didn’t like to listen to the matters of the Liao Dynasty, how could you, a resident and merchant in the Song Dynasty, know about it?

"Why?" asked Qiao Jinniang.

"Because they also make money!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "This market was built by the Song and Liao dynasties. The Chamber of Commerce bought puns and bought puns, and the two countries will be divided equally... This item alone, the Liao Kingdom will be able to earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in the future!

Moreover, this market is located between the Song and Liao dynasties. Like the court, it allows people from the Song and Liao dynasties to travel and leave and settle for a long time.

Mrs. Jin, think about it, this does not mean that half of the prosperous Kaifeng Prefecture City and countless gold, silver and wealth will be moved to the border of the Jiehe River? This is really a treating Liao Kingdom as a brotherly country. If the Song and Liao War were going to start a war, wouldn’t such a lot of wealth be taken away in a flash?”

It seems...this is the reason!

Xiao Baoxian suddenly discovered that Wu Haogu, the official and businessman, had a problem-making idea!

If there are really 100,000 merchants gather in such a large market, wouldn’t the scale of this market be as large as Xijinfucheng?

Such a market is not a fortress like Xijinfucheng. Even if there is a city wall, it will not be too high or strong. Isn’t this treating the Liao Dynasty as a brotherly country? Otherwise, the Song people would not have to worry about being invaded by the Khitan cavalry every day and robbing them?

This matter is beneficial to the current Liao Kingdom!

The Liao Kingdom is now unable to deal with the Northwest Zubu people (the Westward Zubu has started again recently, and Yelu Hongji wants to use the Western Xia troops to suppress them together), and the Goryeo and Nao people are about to fight. Once they decide the victory or defeat, it will be the revival of Goguryeo or Bohai Kingdom... In the eyes of the Khitans, if the Goryeo people defeated Nao, they will undoubtedly evolve into Goguryeo, swallowing a large area of ​​Nao land in the north of the Yalu River, and further threatening the Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom!

Once the female Nao Wanyan tribe defeats Goguryeo, it will undoubtedly have the prestige of unifying the female Nao tribe. At that time, it will be the "Big Bohai Kingdom" and the first big Bohai!

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom must interfere in the Goryeo-Female-Zhi war! It is necessary to keep the equilibrium of the Goryeo and the Goryeo people in order to continue to fight each other.

To achieve this goal, not only can conflicts break out between the Liao and Song dynasties, but it is best to reach a tacit understanding to a certain extent. The Song people must realize that the unification of the female direct people or the reappearance of Goguryeo is not only a threat to the Liao Kingdom, but also very unfavorable to the Song Dynasty...

The Jiehe Market, which the Song people took the initiative to propose, clearly regarded the Liao Kingdom as a brotherly country. How could the Liao Kingdom push the Song people out because of a little economic benefit that could not be met for the time being?

It would be so stupid to do this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Baoxian suddenly laughed and stood up, bowed to Wu Haoguyi and said, "You have made some sense. Today is here. Tomorrow, tomorrow evening, a family will come here to listen to Mrs. Jin sing poems. Come too... By the way, here is Xiao Baoxian, a native of Liao!"

"Xiao... Baoxian?" Wu Hao looked ignorant in ancient costume and said to himself, "It seems like he has heard it somewhere."

"Hahaha," Xiao Bao laughed first, "Go back and ask Zhang Zhongshu, a certain family will take the lead!"

...

"Let's stay, what do you think? This Jiehe Shang Market is 10% of the country, are we and the State of Song a brotherly country?"

"yes!"

When Ma Renwang heard Xiao Baoxian's extremely affirmative answer, he was a little confused. What kind of ecstasy did that guy Wu Haogu give Xiao Baoxian?

He was worried before that the Song State would become powerful and threaten the Liao Dynasty. How could it become a brotherly country now?

Xiao Baoxian said: "A merchant can see this truth clearly... The Song Dynasty built a shopping mall in Jiehe, which put tens of thousands of people and tens of billions of dollars in the reach of our Great Liao Iron Cavalry. If they really wanted to take the alliance, wouldn't our Great Liao get rich?"

It seems to make some sense!

Ma Renwang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, what should we do if the Song people refused to pay 100,000 yuan in advance?"

Xiao Baoxian frowned, "Money is still needed. Now the imperial treasury is too empty, and he is asking for money from the temple."

The horse man looked at him and said, "It's better to do this... we might as well sell something to the Song man."

"What's the bottom?"
Chapter completed!
