"Is this from those southerners?" Kong Er slowly walked onto the huge merchant ship, which was much bigger than the coastal merchant ships in the past. He felt a sense of security when he stepped on his feet.

"Yes, butler, that group of southerners are carrying several such large ships, with a large number of people!" The man leading the way ahead said respectfully with a smile on his face.

"This group of southern barbarians never thought that they had such financial resources!" Kong Er said with a squinted look, then raised his chin and said in surprise.

"What do these Lingnan people really need?"

"Of course, Butler Kong, why have I ever deceived you?" Yaren patted his chest and said confidently:

"A few days ago, I went to their boat to see the bundles of spears, which were so sharp that I was trembling!"

"Let's go and take a look!" Kong Er's pupils shrank and he immediately said. It seems that these people are powerful behind them!

"Mr. Wu, this is the butler Kong of the Kong Mansion!" As soon as Yasuo saw Wu Qing, she immediately introduced with a smile:

"This is Wu Yuanwai from Lingnan. He is engaged in maritime business and has a strong family income!" The term "State" means that many people describe merchants at this time, and it is no longer the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the two of them being speechless, Tooth naturally knew each other and smiled and left room with them.

"You are coming from Confucius' Mansion?" Wu Qing asked in a polite manner.

"Of course, I know my purpose, and I will naturally know my purpose, and I will never say it anymore!" Kong Er raised his chin slightly, and said with a reserved and slightly arrogant look:

"Our Confucius Mansion is naturally sincere. Can we have sincerity if we don't know what we are?"

"Of course, it's the same!" Wu Qing replied immediately and made a petition.

After posing his sleeves, Kong Er walked into the cabin with two servants, and Wu Qing followed closely behind.

There is no need to say about the status of the Confucius Mansion in Shandong. There has always been only a diligent court, and there has never been a place where the Confucius Mansion has moved. There is only one thousand-year-old family in Shandong.

But it is indeed surprising that Confucius Mansion, which has always been passed down through literature, began to buy weapons from outside at this time.

Who knows that the Confucius Mansion is so respectful to the court that he can't be respectful anymore. He never says the word "六官网" is also the secret of the Confucius Mansion's thousand-year heritage. But today he has purchased a large number of weapons. Could it be that the Confucius Mansion will not be able to change?

After a while, Wu Qing and others arrived at the warehouse, and the bright weapons revealed a bright scene.

"Look, this spear has been made by our craftsmen. It is sharp and tight, and it costs five jin of money!"

"This bow and arrow are made of steel, with a long blade, which can penetrate the hard armor. The arrow shaft is made of good birch, straight and not curved. Each long bow is fifty slabs!"

"Twenty shovels..."

"One hundred and fifty slabs of crossbows..."

A lot of people introduced more than ten weapons, and the price of each one was several cents higher than the market price. Although it was expensive, Kong Er nodded with satisfaction:

"The quality is really good, I want all these!"

Although the continuous victory of foreign wars has caused the imperial court to gather a large amount of power, naturally, the rules and regulations that disappeared in the troubled times have now been revealed again.

The expansion of local force will naturally weaken, and Shandong is no exception. Moreover, for a period of time, undercurrents are becoming increasingly surging.

"Price is not a problem. As long as you have, we will charge as much as you have. The Kong family in Qufu has this financial power!" Kong Er said with a loud voice facing the sky.

"If you don't have weapons, pig iron is OK. As long as you ship it, you will add 50% to the market price!"

"Of course, we are not just weapons, but also some ivory tortoiseshell pearls. Would you come and have a look?"

"I will buy all of your things at the market price. Next time you must transport two thousand spears and hundreds of thousands of arrows to come!"

After he left, Li Jia appeared slowly.

"I never thought that even the Confucius Mansion could not stand the loneliness!" In recent days, rumors were heard to sell some specialties. Several waves of local forces have come to explore and put forward the requirement to purchase pig iron and weapons.

"The emperor of Tokyo personally sent people to the Confucius Mansion to investigate the land. The Confucius Mansion must receive at least tens of thousands of stones of grain every year. The Confucius Mansion consumes thousands of stagnant every month. How difficult is it to go from extravagant to simple? In the long run, even if the court supports it, how many days can it take?"

"It's only been a few days since I found these news, which is also good!" Li Jia nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction.

"The whole Qingzhou is not just the Confucius Mansion. Those families with tens of thousands of acres naturally cannot withstand loneliness. Like piles of dry firewood, only a little spark can ignite the raging fire!"

At this time, Li Jia had to admire Guo Rong's courage. He was worthy of being the number one wise ruler of the Five Dynasties and suddenly found the pain point of his rule - land.

During the years of troubled times, a large amount of land was occupied by local forces, which damaged the central government's finances and foreign war capabilities, and weakened the central government's control over the local area.

If we accumulate strength faster and unify the whole country, we must open the curtain of land.

It is easy to eat and spit out, and it is difficult to give up the lifeline of the future survival of the Shiguan family. It is not so easy to hand over.

"Then your husband, you..." Wu Qing looked at the weapons of this ship. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

"The Central Plains cannot be peaceful, so the surrounding small countries can live a good life!" Li Jia smiled slightly.

"By the way, we can make a fortune, buy some specialties and sell them to Goryeo and Japan, and make a profit, wouldn't it be nice?"

"Your Madam is so good!" Wu Qing bowed and bowed to his knees.

"From tomorrow, you will stay in Dengzhou. This place is a place that is to travel between Goryeo and the need for ports, and merchants gather. This Kong Mansion butler is a local snake. It is always right to contact more."

When the Southern Han, Min Kingdom and other countries paid tribute to the Central Plains, they also entered Dengzhou and then entered Tokyo Bianliang, an important transportation route.

At this time, there are two routes to Japan. The southern route is from the Yellow Sea in the Shandong Peninsula to the east of the Yellow Sea to Baekje (southwest of the Korean Peninsula) to reach Japan. Through the turbulent Yellow Sea, it is extremely dangerous. Those envoys sent to Tang often walked on this route, with many casualties.

The North Road route is from the northeast sea of ​​Dengzhou (Penglai County, Shandong Province) to Daxie Island (Changshan Island), Malxin Island (Gui'an Island), Wuhu Island (Nanhuangcheng Island), and Wuhu Island (Nanhuangcheng Island), and cross the Wuhu Sea in the north (i.e. the sea surface of Bohai Bay north of Wuhu Island) to Mashishan (Laotishan) Dongduli Town (Lushun) and two hundred miles east, and Qingnipu (Dalian), Taohuapu, Xinghuapu, Shirenwang, Wutuowan, and Wugujiang (Yalu River near Dandong). From then on, there is land to reach the Bohai King City (ten miles southwest of An County, Heilongjiang).

As he said that he went down the coast of the Korean Peninsula, it was Japan.

Li Jia and others took things acquired from Dengzhou and went to the Liaodong Peninsula. Here, there was no sign of the Bohai Kingdom at present, only the Liao Kingdom.
