Chapter 408: Wangbei Tower

Wu Haogu got up from the kang with a thick layer of mattress, stretched his waist, and was very satisfied. Look beside him, a naked beauty had already got off the kang and was picking up clothes and pants for Wu Haogu, ready to serve him to dress.

Last night, Wu Haogu was quite happy under the service of Bai Feifei. He had been lingering for a while. After that, he asked the naked Bai Feifei to massage himself. After pressing it, he fell asleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up in the morning, the beauty was still naked. Wu Haogu was getting more and more corrupted and was poisoned by the feudalist ideas of the Song Dynasty. He actually asked Bai Feifei to serve himself naked in dressing like this. This woman was really obedient and did it without fail.

Admiring Bai Feifei's graceful figure and white skin, Wu Haogu had the idea of ​​painting human body sketches again. At this moment, Du Wenyu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Teacher, Master Lin asked for a visit, saying that it was the Deputy Envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Ma, who had already crossed the river."

Ma Zhi came at a really time!

Wu Haogu looked at Bai Feifei with some resentment. Bai Feifei held a dress and said to Wu Haogu: "Official, please wait for you to change your clothes first."

"No need," Wu Haogu smiled, "Take me the clothes, I can wear them myself. You can put them on quickly, and go see Ma Zhi with me later."

"Okay." Bai Feifei never seemed to say "no" to Wu Haogu, and responded another sentence in a very soft manner.

The hot water and breakfast used for washing were prepared by two servants. Wu Haogu and Bai Feifei put on their clothes, washed up after leaving the bedroom, and used some breakfast with Du Wenyu.

"Wenyu, is your body OK today?"

While having breakfast, Du Wenyu suddenly heard Wu Dalang’s question, and his little face suddenly turned red and he responded softly.

"Then go and draw a few sketches, draw the construction site, the dock, the boats on the border river and four yards."

Wu Haogu gave the order and left with Bai Feifei, not seeming to pay attention to a twisted face...

What a delicious girl, when will the Wuda Pervert be ready to enjoy it?

...

"Dalang, I really didn't expect that in this short time, you and I have such an opportunity, and there is a base of Jiehe. It seems that Xiongfei will fly in the future and establish a great achievement of the world!"

In the lobby of the simple Jiehezheng Office, Ma Zhi, who was visiting, looked very proud. After seeing Wu Haogu, he said "a hero flying in the future" and "a great achievement for the unparalleled world" without a few greetings.

Wu Haogu looked at this traitor hidden within the bureaucratic landlord class of the Great Liao Kingdom with a smile. He really did not forget his original intention. He is doing so well now and is still thinking about restoring Yan and pacifying Liao.

It’s a pity that the Song Dynasty really couldn’t bear this ambition!

Wu Haogu looked at his knees and said quietly: "The Song Dynasty just suffered a national mourning, and the national policy set by the late emperor may not continue to be implemented in the future. However, Jiehe Market can still be carried out in large quantities. If it can manage a situation, it will be considered as living up to the late emperor's entrusted..."

"What? You are not planning to revive the Yan anymore? Oh, by the way, it's the Empress Dowager now." Ma Zhi laughed, looking indifferent.

The Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty was not Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty. He usually didn’t like to fight and cause trouble. But so what? The current official family of the Song Dynasty is a eldest prince. How long can Empress Dowager Xiang take office? After returning to politics, the Song Dynasty still has to return to its original route.

"How is your emperor?" Wu Haogu changed his subject and asked Yelu Hongji's body, "Can your body be safe?"

"No matter how Antai is, he is still a person in his seventies!" Ma Zhi smiled, "Those who have harmed the prince in the past are now in panic all day long.

Dalang, our Jiehe Market can be built quickly, and many nobles from the Liao Kingdom will come here to live."

"Oh? Is it?"

"Of course," Ma Zhi smiled, "The 80,000 yuan stocks on our side were collected in less than three months... In addition to the four Yan families, they were all Khitan and Xi clan nobles who had harmed Prince Zhaohuai! In addition, many people came to me to ask when they could buy a house on the south bank of the Jiehe River? It would be better to be close to the river bank, so that the houses on the Liao country on the north bank were able to see the price. They were all very anxious!"

It turned out that Ma Zhi came so hurryingly to seek a final retreat for the Khitan nobles who had framed Prince Zhaohuai of Liao Kingdom. He was to be a ignorant residence on the land of Song State on the south bank of the Jiehe River, and sighed all day long.

It sounds quite pitiful, but this is the rule in the officialdom of Liao Kingdom! As soon as Yelu Yanxi came to power, he had to eliminate a group of sinners who had harmed his parents and grandmother, otherwise would he, the emperor, still have prestige?

In addition, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, whether they were Khitans, Xi people or Han people, all had fortresses or military states!

By the way, the fortress and the Touxia Junzhou are the so-called "manor houses" in the "manor economy". This kind of "manor" is not a winery of later generations, but a castle that controls large areas of land and can be self-sufficient to a certain extent and has armed forces!

Therefore, the great nobles of the Liao Kingdom who had a feudal lords with private soldiers were a bit similar to the doctors of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and later the Japanese Kingdom. The family was full of clans, retainers, disciples, and thugs from the Qu tribe. These people were all Yelu Yanxi's enemies who killed his father. If they were not destroyed, would Yelu Yanxi sleep after becoming the emperor in the future?

"No one will rebel, right?" Wu Haogu thought about it and was actually a little worried about Yelu Yanxi.

"It's impossible to make the world!" Ma Zhi smiled, "The old emperor has arranged all the arrangements. The Gong army and the Pishi army are under the command of King Yan. The Zhao, Liu and Masan families in the four Yan families do not participate in the battles in the north. How can the military states cause great troubles with more than a dozen heads? It's better to leave the thirty-six strategies... And, Dalang, why do you think the old emperor criticized Jiehe Market so easily and waived five years of tribute?"

Jiehe Commercial City has a "five-year tax exemption" period. It is not that merchants who sell in the Commercial City can be exempted for five years, but that the tribute of the Commercial City itself. The Commercial City is tax-protected by the Chamber of Commerce, but it does not have to pay taxes from the first day of opening the Commercial City, but that it has to wait until the sixth year to start paying taxes on an annual basis.

The five-year tax exemption was decided in Zhong. Naturally, there was nothing in the Song Dynasty that was exempted from the tax and buying of the Maritime Bureau, but just the tribute tax of the market. It was 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, which was nothing to the Song Dynasty. However, the Liao Dynasty's finances were very tight, and tens of thousands of yuan was not a small amount of money.

Therefore, Yelu Hongkin exempted the tribute from the Shangcheng market for five years and definitely gave great support.

"Second brother, are you saying that the old emperor of Liao Kingdom hopes those people will run to Jiehe Shangcheng?"

Ma Zhi smiled: "The most ruthless imperial family... I think he was the one who wanted to exterminate Prince Zhaohuai's lineage back then? As a result, he was not successful and could not have children, so he had to let Prince Zhaohuai's son ascend the throne. Do you think this matter is changeable? If you are not careful, you will cause trouble. Can the old emperor not make any arrangements? He still wants to leave peacefully!

And those people in the northwest Zhubu also need to work hard, right? Now it is a critical moment. If you can't destroy it, a mess will be left for your grandson. So the old emperor has to leave a way out for everyone, so everyone can work hard. Isn't it the same for yours? The demotion stopped in Haizhou."

Yelu Hongji's later years were a capital-written embarrassment. On the one hand, he was his only heir, and he could not kill him no matter how unsatisfied he was! Otherwise, the country would have to be inherited by his younger brother, and he would have lost his sons and grandsons. How annoying. On the other hand, he was protecting his loyal ministers. If they were not protected... Yelu Yanxi would be so obedient? Maybe he would have to seize power.

But once he dies, both loyal ministers and good grandsons will have to do it! If he doesn't make any arrangements, he might fight without waiting for him to die. How will the end then?

Therefore, the emergence of Jiehe Commercial City, the "two free markets" can be said to have solved some of the problems for the old man.

"So that's it." Wu Haogu laughed, "Let me think about it... Since the nobles in the north want to find a way out, our Jiehe Market doesn't have to go step by step. They are the customers, and we open the door to do business, so we have to think about them, right?"

Ma Zhi laughed, "Dalang can do business."

Wu Haogu thought about it and said, "Why not do this? Let's start a business that sells real estate first... There is no existing house, you can sell pre-sale houses."

“Pre-offline house?”

"It's just that the house that has not been built yet, and the house will be delivered first." Wuhao Gudao, "The customer will give you a deposit of 20% to 30% first... With money, can the house be built soon?"

"Okay!" Ma Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The emperor will have one or two years left... everyone can wait."

"The name of the business is... Wangbeilou!" Wu Haogu thought about it and immediately got a good name.

"Wangbei Tower? Good! Wangbei Tower is good. You can look north to your hometown every day..." Ma Zhi stroked his palm and smiled, "Then I have to invest in it. Dalang, your business will not be a loss. I don't think this Wangbei Tower will lose."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wu Haogu paused, "Brother Ma, how about you?"

"Me?" Ma Zhi thought for a while, "Okay, how much is it? It's expensive but I can't afford it... I still have to save money to buy a military governor of the state army."

"Buy a house first," Wuhao Gudao, "I'm sure to make a profit... I bought hundreds of horses now, and I'll sell two or three thousand horses in the future."

"Mai?" Ma Zhi was stunned, "Use silk to settle the bill?"

"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded and said, "Don't you Liao Kingdom mainly trade with silk? In order to facilitate the nobles of Liao Kingdom, Jiehe Shangshi will use silk as the basis in the future and Jiaozi as the supplement."
