Chapter 149: Letter from Jiangling

"The Zhao family of the Song Dynasty may not be able to tolerate the major general. It may be difficult to meet in this life." Director Su sighed. He had to do enough to make a show and said as much as possible imitate Sun Yu's attitude.

"Then I have to ask whether my soldiers are willing. Although Zhao Song is strong, I, Gao Jichong, are not the ones who can kill me." Gao Jichong is the age of a young man who is eager to fight on the battlefield. How could he go to Song to accept the fate of being kept in captivity?

"Ah! I don't know if it was the Major General in front of me. I'm rude, please forgive me!" Manager Zhou knelt down with a thud, as if he had just learned the identity of the person in front of him.

"It's okay, get up first, and then tell me about your adult affairs. I will love to listen to it." Gao Jichong had already regarded Sun Yu as his confidant, and planned to have a deeper understanding and see what he could do.

Manager Zhou added to the ignorance of Sun Yu's experience, saying, "How can you do it anyway?" Gao Jichong looked yearning when he heard it. The other party was in the same year as him, and he had fought several times and won many battles. Although his territory was not large, he defeated it with one hand. In comparison, he was just a master of his father. Moreover, this person is quite talented and famous in poetry, and even he has heard of it. He just didn't know that the lyricist is the current governor of Jianzhou.

"Let me write a letter back to Jianzhou and you must let Lord Sun open it." Gao Jichong felt that although Jianzhou is far away from this place, Lord Sun is worthy of his hand.

"Don't worry, Major General, the younger one will definitely be delivered." Manager Su nodded. Unexpectedly, he would have to get in touch with Major General Gao Jichong. Business will be easier in the future. He had to write a letter to send it back, otherwise it would be exposed.

"Major General, before leaving, my elders told me that if you have the chance, you must ask the Major General to taste my Jianzhou specialty, Feitian wine!" The shopkeeper ran to the back of the counter and picked up an exquisite wooden box with two bottles of Feitian wine. This is a hardcover version, filled with a special exquisite porcelain bottle, and then sealed with a wooden plug. If the Major General drinks his own wine, then the business will be worse?

"Okay, your adult is willing, I will accept it first. What other great things are there in your business? Let me introduce it to me." Gao Jichong took the wine and handed it to the followers behind him, intending to wait until he returns home to try it.

Manager Su showed the cement and cloth to Gao Jichong. The other party was not interested at all, but carefully looked at the farm tools hanging on the wall, as if he had discovered something amazing.

"Major General, do you want to buy farm tools?" Manager Su was a little confused. Seeing that he was like this, he didn't need to worry about farming.

"How did you transport these iron tools?" Gao Jichong tapped them gently with his fingers, and the farm tools made a crisp sound. This was made of excellent iron materials. Nanping and Nantang are not bordered by Nantang. There is a section of waterway in the middle belonging to Chu. They have always investigated salt and iron objects, and Jianzhou Trading Company has actually made so many.

"That, Major General, we businessmen, naturally, have some methods, which are things that cannot be used. Besides, we can't check the waterway we take, and in only half an hour, we can reach the major general's territory." Manager Su smiled. It was just farm tools, not weapons and armor. Even if we found out, just use some silver to get it.

"How much does this cost?" Gao Jichong was a little excited and pointed to a hoe and asked. He didn't know what the farm tool was called, but it was made of good iron anyway. His Nanping land was small and the yield of fine iron was extremely low. If he could get a large amount of fine iron, he could have greatly improved the battle.

Fighting power.

"Three taels of silver." Manager Su replied. The hoe takes two taels of silver to get out of Jianzhou. The fortune is so far, three taels of silver is not expensive, and there are still some things to do along the way.

"Can it be supplied in large quantities?" Gao Jichong asked. The price is OK, but if the quantity is small, he will not look down on it.

"How old?" Manager Su was stunned. He was thinking about selling more wine. It seemed that he wanted to make a big order for ironware first, which was a bit unexpected.

"At least ten thousand pieces." After Gao Jichong finished speaking, he stared at Manager Su with hope. He could not buy it even if he had money before, but now he finally has hope.

"If there are so many, you can transport them to Ezhou, and you have to ask the Major General to take them personally." After passing the river in Ezhou, there was a section of the territory of the Wuping Army Jiedushi in Chu. If there were a small amount, he would just take some measures. If it was a large number, he would not be sure. However, the Major General could have dispatched the naval ships in Jiangling. I believe that the Wuping Army would not go to war with him for such a small matter.

"Okay, I will go and get it myself. I wish the Wuping Army would not dare to move." Now that his uncle Gao Baoxu is ill in bed, Gao Jichong is the leader of all major events. Besides, I heard that Zhou Xingfeng, the governor of Wuping Army, has been unable to get sick for a long time, so no one dares to stop him.

"Then, why not 20,000 pieces? If the demand for craftsmanship is not so high, it can be cheaper, just 2 taels and 5 cents a piece of silver." Manager Su understood very well. This must be planned to be reforged into weapons, and it will be a little shoddy. As long as the iron material is not bad, everyone will save time and effort.

"Okay, I'll send you a deposit to you first. In the future, if you have anything to do in Jiangling City, come to me directly." Gao Jichong calculated that the iron material of the two hoes could almost be made with a good knife. If it was made of a long spear, it could make two gun heads, and the quantity could almost meet his needs. As for the process, he didn't care. When he came, he would directly melt and reforge. What he wanted was iron material.

Manager Su was sent to the door and waited until Gao Jichong disappeared at the end of the street before returning to the business. It was a big deal, 50,000 taels of silver. His life was comfortable this year, so he had to send someone back and bring the goods over.

The next morning, Manager Su received a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver from Gao Jichong, and there was also a letter in it. The cover read: Brother Sun, the governor of Jianzhou, personally issued it. As for the deposit, Gao Jichong was not afraid of being greedy. In this Jiangling City, he has always been the only one who takes advantage of others. The goods in this business are worth much more than 10,000 taels.

Manager Su, who was originally planning to wait here, still felt uneasy. He had to go back to this matter by himself. If the governor couldn't figure out the situation and the letter he replied was leaked, it would be troublesome.

July in Jianzhou is the hottest time of the year. Sun Yu moved a lounge chair like last year and enjoyed the cool air under the big tree beside the canal. Now Jianzhou is no longer like last year. There are many people coming and going to lie in the canal. It is too indecent. Even the soldiers of Jianzhou Army are just taking water here to scrub it.

"Sir, Madam, let you go back to the yamen." A maid from Ju Yao, who used a fan to cover the sun, ran to Sun Yu in a short walk. Now that Ju Yao is pregnant, she moved into the backyard of the governor's mansion and took the maid over there.

Sun Yu got up from the recliner and followed the maid back. This kind of weather is really uncomfortable. He has to dig an ice cellar to save more ice in winter, and it will be better by summer.

Sun Yu returned to the mansion and saw Ju Yao sitting in the side hall waiting. A business manager was sitting and saw Sun Yu enter.

Come on, I'm busy with the gifts.

"What's the matter?" Sun Yu nodded and motioned for him to sit down and say.

"Sir, this time I went to Jiangling to open a semicolon, on the day of the opening..." Manager Su told Jiangling one by one, especially emphasizing the nonsense he made up about Gao Jichong.

"Well done well, what about you?" Sun Yu nodded. It doesn't matter. The key is that he took a big order and made a lot of money.

Manager Su took out the letter from his arms and handed it over. Sun Yu opened it and read it carefully. Most of them were compliments, hoping to meet you or something. I don’t know if it was someone to ask someone to write a pen or if this person is really educated, so Sun Yu didn’t know how to reply. He turned around and asked Xu Yi to write a letter back. This is his old profession, so we can’t embarrass you.

"Twenty thousand pieces, is the store stock enough?" Sun Yu packed the letter and sent the goods as soon as possible to allow them to expand their strength. At that time, it would be a good thing to delay Song Jun there for two more days. The strength of this Jingchu land, the stronger the better.

"It's not enough. It probably takes more than half a month to collect it. Now there are still many orders in a hurry to send them away." Ju Yao opened the account book and looked through it. Only after delivering all the previous orders could they arrange them. This is the rule for the merchants to arrange orders.

"No, stop everything else, send Jiangling's orders as soon as possible, the faster the better." This mountain is high and far away, and it may take how long it will take. Anyway, you must help Gao Jichong increase his strength as soon as possible, and it may cause more trouble for the Song army.

"Does your husband really recognize this brother?" Ju Yao looked puzzled. In this case, there must be a order that will be postponed, so you have to pay the money. After all, there are still caravans waiting to get the goods.

"The vision should be longer-term. You can't just focus on business. Anyway, this is what you do." Sun Yu doesn't plan to disclose it more when it comes to military considerations. The enemy's enemy is a friend. Even if you don't make money, Sun Yu has to deliver this batch of goods.

"Okay, Manager Su, please go to the business bank to make arrangements, just say it was my idea. For the rest, you should pay the money and apologize." Ju Yao nodded. She had to take the blame by herself, so she could not lose the majesty of her husband.

Manager Su was overjoyed and quickly left the business.

"What are your plans?" Ju Yao sent the maid away, touched her belly and asked in front of Sun Yu. Although it was only two months old and she couldn't see anything, Ju Yao could feel the existence of a small life in her belly.

"If you want to make an idea in the south, you are afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty will put pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty. If they have no time to take care of it, it will be much easier." Sun Yu did not think that the Northern Song Dynasty would attack the Southern Tang first, but if he had a lot of movement, it would be hard to say whether the Northern Song Dynasty would instruct the Southern Yue Kingdom to take action. Moreover, if the pressure on the king's side was too great, it would be a question whether Li Yu could withstand it.

"Since that's the case, I'll go there myself, and nothing wrong." When Ju Yao heard that the deal had such a big impact, she naturally felt that she couldn't sit still. She knew that her husband had been restless these days, and it would be better to be able to share one or two.

"You sit here, everyone can handle these things." Sun Yu held Ju Yao's shoulder and asked her to sit down. Manager Su was staring there, and he would report any questions. Now Ju Yao's most important thing is to take care of the baby well and give birth to the child. Even if there is a descendant of the Duke's mansion in another country.
