Chapter 250

It was only a matter of knowing whether Cao Shouyi was in the city or not, but last time he didn't have time to take a closer look. This time, Wang Rong was fortunate to take the aunt and guards to walk around in this border fortress.

It is incomparable to Tokyo, but it is also a real border trade distribution center. It has both people from Xixia and Song dynasties, Liao dynasties, and many Hu people from the Western Regions.

You can meet many excellent horses in a special official market, but the prices are not high, and all kinds of vendors are walking around.

The textile industry here is very underdeveloped or even stagnant, but there is also a large market, all of which are from Tokyo. The high-end ones are used to supply the local tyrants here, while the low-end ones will be transported to the Xixia territory or the Golden Triangle area by some specific merchants to exchange for cattle, sheep and horses from the hands of herders.

The trade volume of fur is very large, and it is also a shortage of goods. People in this cold place want to wash and sleep with fur. These are all luxury goods for the rich areas in the south to supply local tyrants. In this era, this is also considered an "advantage industry" in this region. Because the whole northwest is vast and sparsely populated, the wild animals are the most abundant, and the people are relatively strong and good at riding and shooting, so many furs are obtained.

In terms of official policies, no trade between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty was allowed during this period. The Western Xia was not allowed to sell war horses to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty strictly prohibited the sale of grain and daily necessities to the Western Xia.

But the more prohibited things, the higher the profit, which will form a whole gray area. This gray area seems to be the administrative region of Song and Xia, but it is no longer an area of ​​actual control. This gray area is enough to separate the two regimes of Song and Xia, but the courts of both sides refuse to admit it or are kept in the dark.

It is precisely because of the national policy that prohibits trade and the strict curfew policy in border areas - no movement is allowed. Therefore, the existence of three mountains and seven villages around Funing County, which are both people and bandits, is actually the horse-drawn caravans from both sides, only come to Suide City to transport green salt or grain to the Golden Triangle area. With a very small amount, they can take cattle, sheep, horses, and countless furs from those border residents who know nothing.

It seems that these horse caravans are licking blood at the edge of the knife, but in fact, it is not the case. The rules are the same as the Suide Army to pay the protection fee, and you can get the default "caravan right of way". Since the army does not care about them, who else cares about them? Because they are horse thieves with battle swords themselves.

Of course, the right of passage for these mixed-blood horse thieves can be stopped at most by the Suide Army and cannot be penetrated deeper. But just transporting them to the Suide Army will make a few times the profit.

The remaining profits were eaten by another group of people. This group was a smuggling group with great powers in the southern part of the Song Dynasty. Against the background of high salt prices and high grain prices in Shaanxi, they transported very cheap things from the south and sold them to the horse thieves caravans here at high prices. Then they took away the fur and cattle and horses brought by the horse thieves caravans, and sold them to Bianjing for supplying the powerful and the imperial court at a higher price.

Yes, even the court and the others provided it.

In fact, this group is the military supplier of the Song Dynasty. The entire Song Dynasty was short of horses. The military equipment department of the Horse and Oral Arithmetics was the slogans shouted by these people. The poor war horses in the hands of Wang Anshi, the commander of the Group and Herds Department, rely on these people to supply them, and the price was unscientific.

In fact, it is also because they are stunningly transporting private salt from southern China to this high-salt price area with the gimmick of national military suppliers. These are actually Ye Qinghua and their trade interests.

The Northwest Salt Removal Instrument Fan Xiang knew the reason but did not know why. He cracked down on private salt not to protect the finances but to destroy the interests of the people in the northwest. The flood of smuggled salt will not reduce the price of people in the northwest eating salt, but will be even higher, because the group sold private salt to the northwest not to supply the people at all, but to provide horse thieves with cattle and horse furs from border residents in the Golden Triangle area.

These are the people in the northwest that I learned more about this time in the official market. The entire chain of interests is open and no one cares about it. Just like these bandit leaders exchanged five kilograms of salt for a cow from the border people, and also slept with other people's underage daughter.

This is what Wang Rong heard from a scarfaced man in the official market. Wang Rong could simulate the scene at that time: Scarface took the team to put down some food and salt, and then slept with his daughter and led the cattle and horses away. In the end, the herdsman girl who should be similar to Xiao Lingling stood alone in the wilderness, singing sad songs and looking forward to the future, but in fact she didn't know what would be in the future. Because they could only live to thirty years old, their daughters soon sang sad songs like them, and continued to look forward to it later.

Thinking of this, Wang Rong, who was not very sympathetic, felt very uncomfortable. He had to do bad things, so he had to be good. His mother was carrying such heinous crimes but didn't get a penny of benefits, and he was led by these people.

Dalian was furious about this and one day he must bring back these benefits. As for now, he speaks with anger, and then fight first.

So, when the scarred face was dancing, Wang Rong suddenly took a brick by him, jumped up and knocked it hard on his head.

"Damn you guys are crazy, aren't you? Come on grandpa and fuck these dog gods to death!"

The market suddenly became chaotic. Swish, the scar-faced man came like crazy, and was dodged by Wang Rong's magical machine.

"You rebel, drag them to a place with few people to kill!" Several outer disciples from Xiankong Island rolled up their sleeves and started fighting with them.

Finally, due to the great chaos, Wang Yun and his group were arrested by police to the county government.

Scarface and his party were not arrested because they obviously paid the money and registered in the government.

This is also very good. Only in this way can we meet the magistrate. Otherwise, if Wang Rong directly looks for him, he would probably be "not here" like Cao Shouyi, and would go to do the civil affairs cause of all kinds.

The process was still very y-y. The magistrate went to the hall and asked loudly who was listed in the hall without giving money. He showed the ID card of the official, which then caused embarrassing remarks such as "misunderstandings and misunderstandings", and there were also repeated praises. Finally, he left the hall and went to the back hall to have tea together.

Damn, I finally had tea here. Fortunately, when Wang Rong was in Funing County, he didn’t eat meat, only ate coarse grains, otherwise it would be impossible to stiletto.

He lifted the tea bowl and tweaked it twice, and smelled the fragrance of the tea leaves. Wang Jianwei, the magistrate of Suide, hesitated and said, "To put it this way, Mr. Xiao Wang is not afraid of you laughing. I probably know your purpose, but I don't know why you shouldn't do what you should do, but fight in the street market, which affects the order of Suide County. This is very bad. Especially when I heard that you have suffered many punishments, it is even worse, and it is very unfavorable to your career."

This old guy looked stable, but when Wang Yun got up and walked over, Wang Jianwei hurriedly got up and changed his seat, as if he wanted to maintain a sufficient "safe distance" from Wang Yun.

I guess I heard from people about the series, and I don’t know how many people said bad things about me, Xiao Lao Wang, in front of this old guy.

Wang Rong had to sit down again in embarrassment, took a few sips of tea and said, "I won't say nonsense anymore. I am a direct person. Lord Wang, what conditions do you want to let the people of Funing County go home?"

Wang Jianwei frowned slightly and said to the official voice: "Mr. Wang, this... isn't that good. Those people are free and unwilling to be dispatched. After the rainy season and before winter, it has always been the time for our border fortress to strengthen the offensive. Now the situation in Song and Xia countries continues to be tense, and many things will come. Many offensives are waiting for complete repairs, but they stop working without listening to persuasion, and there are also collective acts of approaching the city wall. You know, in terms of the rules during border war, they are not executed by the Suide Army. Since it is a violation of the law and discipline, I am embarrassed to let go. Where is the national law?"

Wang Yun touched his chin and said, "According to the descriptions of those who have returned home, I have to see that they are better than dead. It would be easier to kill by the Suide Army. It would be easy to deal with any of them, and that would be the nail board."

Wang Jianwei shook his hand and said, "Young man, you don't know what you are talking about at all. Don't be so extreme. This is not that my Suide County and your Funing County cannot get along with it, but that my border fortress has actual needs. Now this is something that has been formed in fact. We must face it face it and find a way to properly negotiate and resolve it."

After drinking all the tea, Wang Rong said, "I really don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Funing County is waiting for me to do endless things. Just give me a word, will you let those people go or not?"

"You..." Wang Jianwei pointed at him and said, "You are not rude to the rules, but you are still young and I don't care about it. Here I will give you a word. Now I really can't let these people go. I'm arrested in reputation, but don't think I, Wang Jianwei, is so bad. I don't want to be serious with these people. If it goes well, Funing County will cooperate and cooperate, and they will do the defense offensive required by the Suide Army before winter, and they will still be able to go home."

"Okay, I have already agreed to General Mu Guiying's communication." Wang Rong didn't say anything, got up and left with the people.

After the man left, Wang Jianwei smashed a tea bowl in the direction where they disappeared and said, "Who are you scared? In this northwest, no one has seen a few ruthless people. It is really like that. You have something to do in Funing County? If you take someone back, you will borrow food to live without doing anything. Why do you want such a county? Instead, no one will do many things in Suide County and you don't know how to polite me."

...

"Is this your communication?" Mu Guiying felt a little surprised when she walked out and walked in the street market.

Wang Rong shook his head slightly and said, "Auntie, you can't understand. Wang Jianwei is a bureaucrat who is mixed with others. He is not good for such a person, but he will not conflict with me casually. So from the beginning, I already knew that talking to him was useless. He had his pressure, and he dared to circle around like me, so he would definitely have the acquiescent support of Mr. Li Shen."

Mu Guiying was stunned and said, "Is Mr. Li Shen so bad?"

Wang Rong shook his head again and said, "It's not bad. But from Li Shen's perspective, Funing County has long given up, but the Suide Army must provide support and protection. The status of the Suide Army's border fortress is undoubtedly confirmed. In this case, low-cost civilian power must be used to serve and build an offensive, but it cannot be the locals of Suide County because they do not have the ability to appease the people. Fan Xiang was demoted because of this kind of matter. In Li Shen's consciousness, if excessive labor damages the hearts of the Suide Fortress, he will be even more unstoppable. So from the perspective of our great minister Li Shen, no one in the northwest region is particularly important. Who is sacrificed and who is saved. These two issues are the vital interests between us and the Suide Army, but in the eyes of the commander Li Shen, it is just a choice and a whole interest."

"It sounds complicated, but I still don't know who you are the bad guys when you and Mr. Li Tan are fighting each other." Mu Guiying said awkwardly.

"It's not both. Funing County has no human rights, and it's not even regarded as the administrative region of the Song Dynasty. This is the consensus in the northwest now. It's just that the high-ranking court does not understand and is unwilling to admit it. If there is no human rights, it's certain that if you're bully and sacrifice it, it's normal that cattle and sheep are killed and eaten. When we moved forward, Funing County actually played the role of cattle and sheep. By chance, the emperor sent me, the official of parents, to Funing County, so the cattle and sheep in Funing County has a father, and someone loves him. Li Shen is not my strict leader in the sense of his position, so as to plan his own affairs. As a parent, I have to speak for the interests of the people under my rule. This is where my conflict with them lies."

Wang Yun finally concluded: "This is a resonance formed by the joint efforts of multiple factors. I don't want to talk about Li Shen, but there must be some "family Tartars" in this matter, and I will remember it for them."

"What should I do now?" Mu Guiying said.

"Contact Di Yong who went to the city early to get along, I need to know some of the situation." After Wang Rong ordered, he found a restaurant, and then two of the Xiangkong Island went to find Di Yong's people...
