The Liao Kingdom generally sent two envoys, with Han officials responsible for etiquette negotiations and quick talks. Liao officials monitored Han officials and made final decisions. For example, Han officials were equivalent to general managers, while Liao officials were equivalent to chairman.

Once you figure this out, you will understand why Wang Ning'an puts all his firepower on Liu Liufu and fucks this person. With the heads of the Liao people, he is no match for the Song Dynasty at all.

Now, before Xiao Dayou and Yelu Ren went to the banquet, they kept reminding themselves not to be fooled and not to be deceived by the Song people... But when they really encountered fine wine and food, they couldn't control themselves. Yelu Ren was better. Xiao Dayou was a barbarian in the north. He was cold and froze. He liked fine wine the most in his life. Wang Ning'an took the most refreshing and sweet Yaochi nectar. After Xiao Dayou drank three cups, he couldn't control himself.

He held Wang Ning'an's hand, drank and laughed, and gradually he didn't keep the door. Yelu Ren had to control it first, but his face turned red, with obvious drunkenness.

Wang Ning'an also blushed, "Two, I just said I want to have some happiness. What do you think is the happiest thing?"

Yelu Renxian smiled and said, "Don't you Han people have four words? You have been drought for a long time and you meet old friends in a foreign land. You can see a wedding night and you can get a title on the golden list! I think these four things are the happiest."

Xiao Dayou bit a piece of lamb leg and said disdainfully: "What's so literary? I want me to say, one is money, the other is women!" He glanced at Wang Ning'an and said lustfully: "How about it, have you arranged a few girls for us? I have heard that the cute kids in Jiangnan are extraordinary!"

Wang Ning'an chuckled, "The others surnamed Xiao are easy to discuss, but the people are not allowed to discuss. Every one of the people of the Song Dynasty is priceless!"

Xiao Dayou smiled contemptuously, saying it sounds nice, I have seen it before! As long as you have enough money, you can't get anything! He scattered all his anger on the legs of lamb and chewed hard.

Yelu Ren heard some smell first: "Mr. Wang, what else can you discuss besides humans?"

"Hahaha, there are so many things that can be negotiated, for example, there is a business right now!"

"What business?" Yelu Renxian said curiously.

"Of course it's a timber business." Wang Ning'an pointed to the furniture all over the room and smiled helplessly: "Did you see that there are not many houses in the entire slum that can be equipped with tables, chairs and benches."

It's still a slum!

Yelu Renxian was speechless and too lazy to argue with Wang Ning'an.

"Don't you, the Song Dynasty, claim to be rich, why can't you even match the furniture?"

"What's so strange about this? How much wood should hundreds of thousands of people use?" Wang Ning'an stretched out his finger and really settled the accounts for them.

Two hundred thousand people, calculated by five people, is 40,000 households. Each household needs three large beds, a few tables and a few chairs, and it costs 2 million cents! There are also various shops, inns, and exports... The actual amount is far more than that.

"For the people's home, they only want to be a good quality and cheap. They can't afford the good wood from Nanyang. Poplar wood is too soft. The best furniture is pine wood, especially red pine, which is even more exquisite!"

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Under the Liao Dynasty's rule, the mountains and rivers were majestic and sparsely populated. As far as I know, there are deep mountains and forests producing pine trees around the Yalu River and Daliao River. As long as the wood is cut down, it forms wood rafts, goes down the water, and then transported to the Song Dynasty by boat. One wood is just one wood, and at least ten cents of money!"

Ten thousand sills?

It can match 20 sheep!

The sheep in the Liao Kingdom are naturally cheaper than the Song Dynasty. Xiao Dayou is not very flexible, but he can count it. Five pine trees can match 100 sheep. Not many ordinary herders in the Liao Kingdom have 100 sheep... Damn, logging is really profitable!

Seeing that Xiao Dayou fell into deep thought, Wang Ning'an pretended to be regretful.

"It's a pity that such a good business can't be done!"

"Why?" Xiao Dayou asked subconsciously.

"That's not simple!" Yu Jing said coldly: "Aren't you going to destroy the slums in the city?"

These words made Xiao Dayou lose his next sentence. His breathing became obviously heavy and his face looked extremely ugly!

Wang Ning'an took a sip of wine and continued to sigh: "It's not just wood, beef and mutton, fur, medicinal materials, jewelry, salt, and grain. Which one is not a big business that can cost millions of yuan. I just can't understand why your country wants to keep wealth that is within reach and insists on robbing and killing? Let me ask, you frequently hit grass valleys, killing endlessly, have a serious sin, but you still believe in Buddhism and build Buddhist temples. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Yelu Ren snorted first, "Don't say that you are so noble and noble? You are robbing and killing, you are even more ruthless! Besides, when will you be sincere in doing business with us? Which time will you not eat and take advantage of it?"

"I don't understand this. Business is fair and reasonable. Doing business is willing. Have the merchants of the Song Dynasty bullied you?" Wang Ning'an looked disbelief.

Yelu Renxian said angrily: "You Song people are so hateful, it is hard to describe it. We say that the merchants on our side are driving the fat sheep over and want to exchange tea with you. As a result, you are pushing the blame and deliberately delaying the time. After a few days, the sheep lacked grass and were about to die. You will take the opportunity to buy them at a low price. Our merchants in Daliao cannot even make money! Tell me, are you Song people bad?"

Wang Ning'an laughed in his heart. The stupid and cute businessman of the Song Dynasty is really dark-hearted!

"This is not easy to deal with. As long as a delivery market is built, both the buyer and the seller pay a deposit. After the business is negotiated, the deposit will be confiscated and compensated to the damaged party. It is stipulated that the defaulter will never be allowed to participate in the transaction. This will be resolved."

"To be honest, where is this market built? Who will let you take care of it?"

"Of course, both sides are in charge. As for where to build it, Cangzhou is actually good."

With the establishment of the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao dynasties were generally peaceful. The Song Dynasty opened four courts, including Bazhou, Xiongzhou, Ansu Army, Guangxin Army, and Liao Kingdom, which were located in Xincheng.

In fact, from the word "Qi" you can see the characteristics of trade between the two parties. Qui means a monopoly sale. Merchants from both parties bring goods to Qui's market and cannot contact each other directly to prevent communication of information and selling information. The goods must be handed over to the official qualifiers, assess the quality, determine the price, complete the transaction, and charge qualities. This is the main source of tax revenue in Qui's market.

This process alone is full of loopholes and is completely dominated by the government. Do whatever you want. The businessmen on both sides suffer losses!

The example that Yelu Renxian said may not be the businessmen in the Song Dynasty who were bad, but perhaps the minor officials were tricked into it.

In addition, merchants also have to provide guarantees, and the scope of transactions and the total amount must be strictly restricted. For example, the Song Dynasty strictly prohibited copper, iron, rice, flour, bacon, sulfur and other substances, and the Liao Kingdom also strictly controlled war horses, ox horns and other items...

It's funny that the Liao Kingdom admires the culture of the Song Dynasty and needs a large number of books. However, the officials of the Song Dynasty believed that some articles criticize current problems and that when they fall into the Liao Kingdom, they will leak the secrets of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, other books are not allowed to be brought over except the Nine Classics.

The numerous restrictions actually did not stop the trade between the two sides. Outside the debate, there were many participants. Take books as an example. A new collection of articles was published in the Song Dynasty. Within one month, the Liao Dynasty will definitely appear on the market.

Wang Ning'an even suspected that the court banned books in order to raise prices and then relied on smuggling to make huge profits, which was the same as making liquor himself. In fact, the big headscarf of the Song Dynasty was still very smart, and all they lacked was the pattern...

"To be honest, the imperial court has too many restrictions on the detention market. The total number of four detention markets each year is only a few million chunks of trade. Compared with the needs of both of our sides, it is really a waste of money! According to me, it is time to loosen the trade ties and allow merchants from both sides to trade face-to-face. Both sides each dispatch official accounts to count the transaction volume, then collect taxes, and then maintain market order. It is enough." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "With the abundant resources of the Liao Dynasty and the hard work and intelligence of the people of the Song Dynasty, the trade volume between the two sides can exceed 20 million within two or three years. Taxed by one tenth is 200 chunks! The two sides have half of the shares, and there is also one million chunks! It's really a lot of money. It's much easier than making a straw valley, right?"

The annual income of the Liao Kingdom was far less than that of the Song Dynasty. One million chunks was definitely an astronomical figure, and it was just a transaction tax. Trafficking along the way and tolls were also far more than the actual amount that could be obtained.

Yelu Ren, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but be moved. He glanced at Wang Ning'an, "Mr. Wang, you were still righteous at the negotiating table in the morning. You want to recover Yan Yun, why do you have to do business and trade in a blink of an eye? This transformation is too fast!"

Wang Ning'an waved his hand, "I have an advantage, that is, I can distinguish what I say in the morning. I don't take back a word. But I want to ask the two of you, is it important to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate? It is impossible to do food, clothing, housing and transportation? The products are not the same between Song and Liao, and there are no other things, and everyone makes money. Why can't we do business? People must have ideals, but we can't live on their ideals alone, right? I am very realistic and will not be unable to get along with myself. If both sides can trade fairly, of course it would be better."

Yelu Renxian was really moved, and he hesitated and said, "Can you really guarantee that you will have a tax of one million yuan a year?"

Wang Ning'an laughed, "Then it's better to say less. In fact, you and I know that in addition to the millions of guan, secret smuggling is ten times more than tens of millions of guan. It is a trade volume of tens of millions of guan! Establishing new trade places and abolishing smuggling, this item alone will be taxed more than five million guan every year. Do you calculate this number?"

Yelu Renxian took a breath. Wang Ning'an was quite conservative. Faced with such huge benefits, Yelu Renxian could not calm down. He pondered for a long time and suddenly felt fooled and said angrily: "Just talk, can you Da Song agree?"

Wang Ning'an said: "Of course I won't agree! But you are responsible for the blame."

"Why?" Xiao Dayou suddenly roared.

"That's not simple. You are still bullying the Song Dynasty and asking for annual tribute. The Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers and people mentioned Liao Kingdom, all of them were too angry. Can the two sides trade fairly?" History has been gone and finally rushed out. After a good sleep, I feel like I'm going to get up again...
