"Have he finished offering sacrifices to his ancestors?"

Wu Haogu held his chin and continued to ask Wu Yanchong about it.

He came to Haizhou, in name, to order rice and grain, but in fact he came to talk to Wu Yanchong about "army purchase". It was a big deal and the profit was so rich that it was hard to imagine that the Song Dynasty sold weapons to the Goryeo Kingdom was a kind of "aid". The court didn't care how much it cost. So Wu Haogu gave a cost price, and the court could explain it. In order to "alli to build Liao", it was not impossible to give it for free. At the Maritime Bureau, you can use military weapons to pick up goods at a low price, and then pour it to the Goryeo people at a high price.

And I’m not afraid of the Koreans!

If the Koreans don’t want it, then Wu Haogu can sell weapons to the Jurchens through the Bohe surname and other wars. Wu Haogu, an international arms dealer, doesn’t have to look at the buyer’s expression!

"The early sacrifice is over," Mi Youren smiled, "This guy is busy contacting Haizhou's wealthy merchants to buy iron tools, cowhide and buffalo horns!"

In the 11th century, buffaloes were also strategic materials and war horses, and were strictly controlled and exported. Buffaloes were treasures, beef and beef offal, and bullwhip could be eaten, and cowhides could be made of leather armor. The buffalo horns were the most controlled materials, even surpassing iron tools!

Because buffalo horns are the material for making composite bows, and it is also the best choice for bow arm. The best buffalo horns are called "Cow Wearing Cow", which means that the price of a horn is equivalent to a cow without horns!

Because the Song Dynasty had a large number of paddy fields, it raised the largest number of buffaloes in the world at that time, so it was the main source of buffalo horns.

Of course, export of such strategic materials is strictly prohibited!

The second-class horns of buffalo are the stubborn goat horns. Khitans, Jurchens, and Pubu people generally use the stubborn goat horn bow, which is also a very well-established compound bow.

The compound bows used by the Koryo people are also buffalo horn bows, but the number of buffaloes in the Koryo country is not large and cannot cope with large-scale consumption during wartime.

Wu Haogu asked: "Is anyone selling it to him?"

"No," Mi Youren smiled, "The court did not impose a ban, this is a deal of beheading the army. Who is willing to sell without any profit? And that guy was unhappy and had not negotiated a big deal for a few bargaining.

"Hmph," Wu Haogu snorted, "This guy is so smart. {The news must be released to attract more sellers, and he calculated that the court would definitely put a ban on Goryeo, and he would be able to lower the price at that time."

"Teacher, are we doing business with him?"

"Of course, it's a big deal!" Wu Haogu smiled, "Let's rest today, and we'll go to the Goryeo Pavilion with Tong Guan tomorrow to meet Wu Yanchong. When the mentor leaves Puyuan, we'll go and meet again."

At this moment, in the Haizhou Goryeo Pavilion, an elderly cousin was sitting in a loft where you could see the bay and drank.

The older one is Wu Yanen, the head of the Wu family in Haizhou, and the younger one is Wu Yanpeng, the governor of Jinzhou who returned to Haizhou to worship his ancestors from the Goryeo Kingdom. Although his official position is the governor of Quanzhou, somehow, after being appointed as an official, he did not stay in Quanzhou for a day, but crossed the sea to the Song Dynasty and spent many days in Haizhou.

"San Ge'er," Wu Yanen picked up some kimchi with his hand and chopsticks and looked at it. "I just received the news that Wu Haogu and others had arrived in Haizhou. There was also a Tong official with him, who was an active official from the National Trust Institute.

According to reliable news, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan are here to talk to you about weapons trading."

"Weapon trading?" Wu Yanchong was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Song Dynasty had banned iron tools, cowhides and horns on Goryeo. "Have there ever been any news of banning?"

Wu Yanen stuffed the kimchi into his mouth, frowned slightly, and chewed while swaying, "There is no ban."

"There is no ban, so how can we trade weapons?"

Wu Yanen thought for a while, "It should be an official weapon, right?"

"Official weapons?" Wu Yanchong became distorted as he heard this.

What does this mean? Did the Song Dynasty sell weapons all over the world? It sounds fresh.

"Is it really sold to us?" Wu Yanchong was still not sure.

"It should be sold," said Wu Yanen. "I haven't heard of it for free. Third brother, don't think about the things you give for free. With Wu Haogu's profiteer, there is no such advantage to take."

The promiscuous businessman? Wu Yanchong had never heard his cousin say the word "promiscuous businessman". The Wu family itself is also a big businessman. Although they think that they are not traitorous, they are still sensitive to the term "promiscuous businessman".

"Why is he a profiteer?" Wu Yanchong asked hesitantly.

Wu Yanen snorted and said, "Don't ask about this. I know that this guy is not easy to meet. I just met a profiteer this time. You should be more concerned, don't ask him to cheat him."

"Lie?" Wu Yanchong was nervous when he heard this. It was good for him to be a businessman at home, but he was a scholar himself. Wu Haogu misunderstood him. The one who is more skilled in business than a monkey is his cousin Wu Yanen.

"Brother, you have to help me." Wu Yanchong said, "This time I came here with the king's trust. If I don't do well, my family's arrangements in Goryeo for so many years will be wasted."

"That's it, that's it." Wu Yanen patted his chest, "It's all wrapped around Brother Yu, and you won't suffer any loss.

By the way, how much money did your king prepare this time? How much fur and ginseng?"

"Millions of money have been prepared, mainly silver and gold." Wu Yanchong naturally said everything, "There are more fur and ginseng. Since last year, the king ordered more clawed tigers, bears and more ginseng medicinal materials in various places. Now, the goods have been prepared, worth at least two million yuan!"

For the ambition of Suzong of Goryeo, the tiger and bear on the Goryeo Peninsula were also affected, and they were almost completely captured by the Goryeo people!

Wu Yanen stroked his beard and thought, "No more?"

"Ah," said Wu Yanen, "It's not enough to have three million?"

The country of Goryeo has no circumcision and development. Three million is a huge sum of money!

"This" Wu Yanen said, "You don't know, the Jurchens are preparing for war now. The tigers in Jiehe Market have dropped by half, while ginseng has dropped by 40%. The price in Haizhou has also dropped. The two million tiger skins, bear skins, bear paws, bear galls, ginseng, etc. you have prepared may not even be worth a million."

"Have you fallen so much?" Wu Yanchong was so anxious.

Now that iron tools, cow horns and cow skin cannot be bought, tigers, bears, and ginseng are lost again, the war has not started yet, why are the weapons not ready?

"Don't worry, don't worry," Wu Yanen quickly comforted his cousin and said, "I'll go find Wu Haogu later. Let's explore the market first to see if I can make barter and exchange weapons with Goryeo mountain goods."

"Okay," Wu Yanchong said, "Brother, I'm so anxious to go to my brother's place."

Wu Yanen, who had figured out Wu Yanpeng's trump card, stopped staying at the Korea Pavilion to eat kimchi. He immediately stood up and said goodbye and left for Tianya Sutra.

"Dalang, Wu Yanen is visiting."

It was coming to dusk, and while Wu Haoguzhen and Pan Qiaolian were strolling by the beach together, Ximen Qing hurried over and informed Wu Yanen of his visit.

"Da Lang," Pan Qiaolian said to her husband with a smile, "You go, state affairs are important."

She also knows how heavy the burden on her husband's shoulders is. Jiehe Market, grain transportation in the north and south, and now she still has to do weapons business with the Koreans. Zhao Xing is really, why did Dalang do everything? Where did so many capable ministers in the court go?

Wu Yanen's appearance seemed to be in a hurry, without taking his entourage, and riding a horse alone, without any show of the richest man in Haizhou.

However, everyone in Linhai Village recognizes this Master Wu, not only because he is the richest person in Haizhou, but also because he is now a scholar in Tianya Town.

He bought land in Tianya Town and built a Tingtao Village, which is the second most luxurious mansion in the town after Linhai Village. His purpose in Zuiya Town was not to think that the residence here was so good, nor was it because Yuntai Academy wanted to run a school district house in the town!), but to participate in the formulation of Tianya Shishi Contract, he was also a scholar. He had a serious official position, and had children who were promising in his family, and he also had a Korean Jinshi. How could he not be a scholar?

So he "engages in politics" in Tianya Town, and made friends with many demoted officials, and also sponsored many short-term Qingtian, which gained the reputation of a famous scholar in Haizhou. He also got involved in Tianya Town. The "Zhen Lao" Tianya Shifu was signed in reference to the Lu Family Township Agreement and Jiehe Merchant Agreement. It claimed to be a "contract between scholars and people", but in fact it is "elite politics". Only male scholars and people who live in Tianya Town, who have officials, possess property or pay taxes to a certain number of taxes can "contract with the agreement", and scholars who can "contract with the agreement" will launch a town old club, and then the town old club will select the town hall, which is basically copying the Zhenhe Merchant Agreement.

Wu Yanen had long realized the benefits of "entering politics" in Tianya Town, so he chose the old town and supported Hua Manshan to choose the mayor of Tianya Town to let Hua Manshan control the "government" of Tianya Town of course, it was Wu Haogu's meaning.

Although this order of autonomy cannot be compared with Jiehe Market at present, its value may be higher in the future.

If there were events in this time and space where ethnic minorities went south, Jiehe Commercial City was the front line, Haizhou was the back of the anti-Jin period, so the future of Tianya Town was probably greater than Jiehe Commercial City.

It was precisely because Wu Yanen was "in politics" in Tianya Town that all the managers and servants in Linhai Village recognized him, and politely invited him into the outer hall and presented Yunwu tea. He asked him to drink tea while waiting for Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing to come to the sect where there was a private beach mansion. When guests came to visit, they had to walk for a long time before they could see him.
