Wu Haogu, Ximen Qing and Zhong Ge'er were walking together on a bustling street. The street was full of business signs and flags everywhere, with signs and flags hanging from each house. There was a large mansion in the middle, and I don't know how much deep and wide the business was even more prosperous, and even the threshold was trampled. The gilded sign "Han Jia Fengle Tower" hung on the door.

Needless to say, this "Fengle Tower" belongs to the Han family of the Great Liao Dynasty, and the name of "Fengle Tower" is mostly from the Kaifeng Prefecture Course.

"President Pan, this is Xijin Prefecture. No, it should be the best place in the Liao Dynasty. Several men from the Han family said that this is comparable to Fengle Tower in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Brother Zhong pointed to the Fengle Building in the mountain village and said with a smile: "I am tired from walking today. Why not sit in the building and look at the street view of this Beishifang, drink some horse milk wine, and eat some delicious food from Yandi."

"Just according to Brother Zhong."

Wu Haogu also felt a little sore in his legs. Today he followed Zhong Ge'er to visit the three largest buildings in Xijin Mansion: Nan'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an'an' and Beishi House.

Although these three yards are named "South", "East" and "North", they are all located in the north of Xijinfu City, and are three adjacent yards arranged in Pin shapes. Among them, Nan'an yard is located in the southwest, Dong'an yard is located in the southeast, and Beishi yard is located in the north.

The functions of the three yards are similar, and they are all places where industrial and commercial gatherings in Xijin Prefecture.

Among them, Nan'anfang and Dong'anfang are "a place where all kinds of workers gather", and there are a large number of handicraft workshops, all of which are official, and are under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Three Divisions and the Nanjing Transportation Division. The products manufactured are diverse, except for the non-salt-iron production (there are iron shops, but they do not produce iron) and silk porcelain. However, the scale of the workshops does not look large, and they are not very busy... They are suspected of being milling.

Beishifang is the real prosperous place of Xijinfu City. After the rise of Western Xia, with the decades of tug-of-war between Song and Xia, the traditional Hexi trade route was almost completely cut off. The main channel of the Silk Road on the land turned to the grassland. The Xijinfu, Nanjing, Great Liao, became a new starting point of the Silk Road, and it was also the largest gathering point for exchanges between the West and the Central Plains.

Farmers, furs, medicinal materials from the grasslands; beautiful jade, glass, BMW, frankincense from the Western Regions; tea, porcelain, and silk from the Central Plains all meet at the Beishifang in Xijin Prefecture.

The whole market was noisy and noisy, and people from all kinds of ethnic groups were interspersed. Teams of camels and carriages and horses kept passing through the city. Wooden wheels wrapped in iron circles crushed the stone slabs on the streets. Khitan merchants wearing a bit of dirty robes (they must be noble people on household registration) had knives on their waists and beads hanging around their necks, swaying on the streets. Merchants from the Song Dynasty wore silk robes, with one or two Yanyun local guards behind them, walking carefully on the streets. There were also Korean merchants from Goryeo, dressed almost the same as those of the Song people, but nodded and bowed when they saw anyone. Bohai people with braids were also everywhere. Most of them were merchants selling fur and raw medicine, and they had no shops. They set up stalls on the street and took out their goods to sell, and their business was booming.

Like the other twenty other yards in Xijin Prefecture, there are beggars everywhere, traveling around the streets and alleys. The officials and soldiers of the Nanjing Police Patrol who manages this market are a bit similar to the military patrol soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture. They are lazy and wandering on the streets, sometimes even going to find trouble for the Bohai people and blackmail a few small money.

The entire market is full of a deformed vitality.

Wu Haogu, accompanied by Zhong Ge'er, climbed to the third floor of the Han Family Fengle Building and entered a private room with a good view.

...

"I don't think Yan Yun has such a prosperous place."

Standing at the window of the private room, Wu Haogu looked at the bustling streets outside the window and suddenly sighed.

"Busy?" Brother Zhong, who had just ordered wine, sneered after hearing Wu Haogu's words, "Is it even more prosperous here than Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Kaifeng Prefecture is not as good as it is," Wu Haogu shook his head and said thoughtfully, "But Xijin Prefecture is still more prosperous than someone originally thought.

By the way, Brother Zhong, do you know where the merchants here come from?”

"There are everywhere," said Brother Zhong, who stood beside Wu Haogu and watched the scenery. "Your little lady Ximen came here often."

"Oh, is the business in Xijin Mansion easy to do?"

"It's not easy to do." Ximen Qing said, "If it weren't for the Zhao family and the Ma family's care for many years, my business would have collapsed long ago."

If the Ximen family does not recognize their master-slave relationship with the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, then they will be ordinary businessmen in Yanyun... Such a place where a large family monopolizes everything, and businessmen without backgrounds cannot survive at all.

"What about scholars?" Wu Haogu asked again, "Is Xijin okay?"

"What a good person!" Zhong Ge'er hummed, "a place to eat people."

His words were full of hatred! I don’t know if it was hating the Liao or the Zhao family? Maybe both of them hated each other?

"Eat people?" Wu Haogu smiled, "There are many people who are not appreciated like Brother Zhong, who are not recognized in Xijin Mansion?"

"Every family has it!" said Zhong Ge'er, "The Daliao is not an official based on his ability, but a person who is born with his background... The number of places chosen for Ke Shixuan is limited, which one is not a mess?"

"The one with the surname Yelu and the one with the surname Xiao also fight?"

"Fight!" Zhong Ge'er sneered, "They fought even harder! The Yan Si family will end up fighting without a surname, and they will end up fighting without a life... Even the emperor's wife, children, uncles and son-in-law were killed, let alone others?"

As he spoke, he snorted a few more times: "The Great Liao is not as good as the Song State. It's over until it is demoted. Every dynasty in the Great Liao side will fight to death several royal families and important ministers from the near branch! Don't look at their compliment now, when the King of Yan ascended the throne, I don't know if I have any life."

Is this a curse?

Wu Haogu looked back at Brother Zhong, who was full of resentment. Brother Zhong also noticed Wu Haogu's strange eyes and smiled: "This is not a curse. When Yelu Yixin was in power, who wouldn't flatter him? When Prince Zhaohuai was in trouble, who wouldn't take the blame? Even my teacher, Mr. Xiangshan... Alas, let's not say anything, everyone on the stage must protect themselves!"

Wu Haogu thought: It turns out that Old Man Murong has also done something to be sorry for Prince Zhaohuai! No wonder he wanted to meet Zhang Dun with him, he was going to defect!

As he spoke, Brother Zhong suddenly laughed back and forth, saying, "But who knew that the emperor could not give birth to children... In the end, no one inherited the throne, so he had to find his grandson to take over. When the King of Yan ascended the throne in the future, I don't know how many families I will kill!"

This is indeed a joke. It is not uncommon for the emperor to kill the prince, but after the emperor killed the prince, no one took over, so he had to let the killed prince's son take over. This is a rare thing.

When everyone framed Prince Zhaohuai together, no one expected that the strong emperor could not give birth to a child... He had given birth to four children with Queen Xiao Guanyin before, but in the end, no other woman could give birth to any of them!

For a while, the nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom were trying to find ways for Yelu Hongji to find women named Xiao who could give them to Yelu Hongji. They said that Yelu Yixin's son was the most loyal and gave all his wife who could give them to the emperor...

But in the end, I just can't give birth, let alone a son or a daughter.

After working for several years, Yelu Hongji was also disappointed and had to arrange for his grandson to take over (it is hard to say whether he is a relative). Yelu Hongji's most trusted important minister, Yelu Yixin, was in trouble and his family was destroyed.

However, it was not only Yelu Yixin's family who followed him to harm Prince Zhaohuai, but this matter was a problem with attitude! If you don't follow him, you will be suspected of the prince's remnants! Moreover, when Prince Zhaohuai and Yelu Yanxi were both dead tigers, who would have thought of such a plot reversal?

Now that the old emperor's health is getting worse day by day, Yelu Yanxi may become the new emperor of the Great Liao at any time, and then how can he counterattack and count.

Therefore, the important families of the Liao Dynasty who had participated in the framing of the Prince Zhaohuai and his son were all worried. No one knew that the good family would be destroyed by Yelu Yanxi...

"Why are there no place for everyone to hide?"

Wu Haogu suddenly proposed something that seemed simple but was difficult to do.

"Hide?" Zhong Ge'er sneered, "Where to hide? Is it Song State?"

"No?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "If today is not a country. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, did the nobles go to another country if they were in trouble?"

"Yelu Yixin wanted to come," said Zhong Ge'er, "but it didn't run away... As for others, they are all big and wealthy, so how can they just leave? And when they are in the south, how can they eat?"

"Can't you prepare in advance when you're fine?" Wu Haogu asked again.

This is a common occurrence in the decadent capitalist society in later generations. It places some assets and family members abroad to reasonably diversify risks.

"How to prepare?" Zhong Ge'er asked, "Is the border of the Song Dynasty so easy? If there is no support, and after going, I will be in a dark mood, what can I do with a few small amounts of money?"

The Song Dynasty was not completely open, and the flow of funds and personnel was not very convenient. Moreover, the prosperous areas of the Song Dynasty were far away from Yanyun, and the towns by the border river were all dilapidated, so there was no way to show the superiority of the Song Dynasty's feudalism.
