Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight tea ah red
The north wind is howling, and it is frozen for thousands of miles. On the endless snow fields, a smokey city stands. The black smoke coming out of countless chimneys gathers into black fog in the air, and looks particularly conspicuous in the floating snow-white area.
This black fog seemed to be a sign that a monster appeared in the city, and once the monster entered the world, it would inevitably harm the world.
In the city, Liang Ting looked at the black smoke in the air, felt the bitter cold wind, and then walked forward along the snowy street. After a while, he stopped outside a street-side shop. The follower stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Old Li, open the door!"
A small window on the wall next to the door was exposed. Someone looked out from behind the window. When he saw the person clearly, he responded, "Okay!" and a "creaking" sound came from behind the wooden door, and then opened it.
The middle-aged man opened the door. When he saw Liang Ting, he shouted "Sanlangjun". When all the people came in, he immediately closed the door and blocked the wind and snow outside.
Liang Ting sat in the warm living room and looked at the familiar decorations. He felt very bored. On this cold and cold day, it was inconvenient to go anywhere, and there was no place for entertainment in the city. It was so boring.
Just now, Liang Ting went out and walked around the city. There was no "opportunity". The wind and snow were heavy, so he couldn't go out of the city and could only go back to Didian to read books.
However, he had read all the books he brought, so he was very upset: if he had known this, he would have brought more books at the beginning.
Liang Ting was drinking the tea he had just made, while looking at the old newspaper. The old newspaper was originally used to pack tea and burn it as waste paper. He felt it was too boring, so he took it to see it. The first page of the newspaper had a few huge words printed:
Great victory! The official army recovered Xiangping!
This is the newspaper from last year. The contents are already "old news", but for Liang Ting, who is extremely bored, it is a treasure to pass the time.
At the beginning of this year, the court negotiated with Goguryeo, with Yalu River as the boundary, and Liaodong was recovered by the court. Then the government called on the people to "break into Liaodong", go to Liaodong to open up wasteland and farm, and settle down.
Liang Ting is one of the people who "entered into Liaodong", but he was not voluntarily, but was arranged by his father to Liaodong in order to manage his family's property and seize the initiative in Liaodong.
This "first opportunity" is not in Lushun or Liaokou, not in Xiangping, nor in Xuantu's ancient city, which had just been renamed "Fushun", but in "Tea Chong" which was further north, nearly a thousand miles away from Xiangping.
It is here, the city where Liang Ting is located, the capital of Fuyu Kingdom and later the capital of Fuyu Prefecture in Goguryeo, surrounded by the activity area of Sumo.
, Wuji, Fuyu and the Sushen in ancient times are said to be the same thing, and "Tea Chong" is said to be a blessing word when Sushen sacrifices to heaven, and it is transliterated as "Tea Chong".
The capital of Fuyu Kingdom was said to have been called the "land of blessing" during the Sushen era, so the name "Tea A Chong" continued.
However, this place is too far away for the Central Plains. It is cold in winter, and Liangting, who lives here temporarily, feels like he is being exiled.
It feels like I'm kicked out of the house in disguise.
Liang Ting put down the newspaper, looked through the account book, and looked at the dense numbers on it, and the irritable mood improved.
This year, in the first year of "entering in Liaodong", he got 636 deer skins, 253 mink skins, 182 fox skins, and many deer antlers, ginseng, etc. in his home.
If you ship it back to Hebei for sale, you will lose several times the profit after deducting the cost.
Therefore, he was not driven out of the house and fend for himself, but was making a lot of money for his family.
Seeing the New Year approaching, Liang Ting felt that his father and brothers would have a lively and lively New Year in his hometown of Jizhou, and he was drinking the north wind in this ghost place.
The two concubines who followed him to "Tea Ai Chong" are now pregnant, and there is no romantic scene in the city, so naturally there is no young lady to vent the fire. Liang Ting, who is full of blood, has nowhere to vent, and now he can only endure it.
The imperial court just included "Tea Ai Chong" under its rule. The conditions in the city were very simple. Because it was far away from Xiangping, it was troublesome to transport food. Now it was the first year. Grain was given priority for garrisons and could not afford too many "idle people", so there was no such thing as a romantic scene.
I really want to vent, either play with ** or find "Five Girls". However, Liang Ting is not as good as Long Yang, and does not want to waste his essence and blood, so I can only endure it.
After a winter, in February and March of the following year, flowers bloom and the sea in Liaokou will turn ice. At that time, a large number of caravans will go north and come to "tea rush". Only when the woman sent from home will be saved will he be saved.
Now, I can only waste my energy by looking at the account book.
The numbers recorded in the account book can be said to be caused by Liang Ting's sweat, which represents profit and also represents the meaning of his temporary residence in "tea rush".
As a child of the Liang family, he wanted to open up a new way of wealth for the family in Liao. If it succeeds, his future will be bright.
This is the old land of Fuyu Kingdom. Hundreds of miles north of it is "Su Mo Water", also known as "Su Mo Water", which is a fishing and hunting place for various tribes of Mizu. These tribes have a strong demand for the Central Plains square products and products, and the large amount of fur in the hands of the other party is also a hot-selling product urgently needed by Central Plains merchants.
Both parties have goods that each other urgently needs, so it is inevitable that the border market is booming. This year is the first year, and everyone is still a little unfamiliar with each other and can't let go. In the future, the transaction volume of the transaction will only increase.
The tribe here has no knowledge, and Liang Ting can exchange deer skin from the other party with glass beads. If it weren't for the long-term business, he would have received more fur this year.
All kinds of daily necessities that are common in the Central Plains are gold and silver in the eyes of each department, so they do not hesitate to exchange them for various furs. Under the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce, Central Plains merchants who gathered "tea" to trade with each other at a relatively reasonable price.
The purpose is to establish rules, create "goodwill", pave the way for long-term business operations, and not to fish out the waters.
As he thought about it, Liang Ting was quite happy. "Chai A Chong" as the frontier base of the official army would be an important commercial port. Judging from the current situation where the imperial court has been spending all its money to develop Liaodong, "Chai A Chong" will develop rapidly in the future.
This ancient capital of Fuyu is said to be the northernmost city in the dynasty (for the time being), and is even more northerly than the "Vladivostok". If it really develops, there will be a large number of immigrants in the Central Plains to settle down in the future, and Liang Ting may become the ancestor of the "Fuyu Liang clan".
Or "Changchun Liang Family"?
The word "tea, chong" is not a good place. Liang Ting heard that the government wanted to change the name of "tea, chong", so he followed this transliteration and was elegantly called "Changchun".
Changchun has the meaning of the four seasons of spring, which sounds beautiful, but Liang Ting looked at the wind and snow outside and complained deeply.
