Duan Silian looked at Yang Yunxian with an expressionless expression: "Great Chief Wang, how should we deal with it now?"

Yang Yizhen only felt that the small team in Guanxia was provoking, and said angrily: "Dad, wait for me to lead an army and capture the Song Dynasty envoy and his party!"

Yang Yunxian said: "How presumptuous! That's an envoy from the Heavenly Kingdom! He just helped the king persuade the rebellious ministers. What reason do you have to offend him?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict and order your ministers to serve as companions to welcome the Song envoys in. We must not lose our etiquette."

Duan Silian nodded: "Yes, then open and close the door, send out ceremonial guards, and welcome the envoys into the customs."

Yang Yizhen said: "Wait a minute! It is only right that we receive the Song envoy in the court hall after I send the king back to Yangju."

Yang Yunxian slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost lost my mind."

Not to mention the frantic preparations in Guan, let’s talk about Su You’s side. Su You and Shi Wei drank butter tea, ate fried dough sticks, and shredded pickles for breakfast. Su You even praised: “Brother Xiao Qi’s delicious food is the best.”

The better.”

Shi Wei also nodded: "The fried cakes are really good, brother Xiaoyou, will the king come out to see you?"

Su You smiled and said: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen. The king of the country should receive the envoys in the court. In short, the matter is very complicated."

"After a while, we entered the pass and arrived at Yangju City. We will be taken to the post house and then stay. Then the etiquette officer will come over to discuss the etiquette system with us; the ministers will come over to discuss many details downstairs... Finally, in the court

That routine became just a formality."

Just as he said this, Zhong Yi led a veteran in military uniform to the lawn: "Teacher, someone from Dali is here."

The veteran bowed: "The great chief of Dali Kingdom, the envoy accompanied Yang Yunxian to pay homage to the angel of the kingdom."

Su You quickly stood up and took a handkerchief to wipe his hands: "Old general, you don't have to be polite. I feel relieved when I see you. I heard that your country's generals and ministers were at odds a few years ago. As a Meishan native, Su You also has a close relationship with Dali.

Worry."

After saying that, he laughed and said: "Now it seems that it is all a rumor! It turned out to be a dispute over the fight for the title of the king. In my opinion, isn't this a good thing? With such loyal and respectful ministers, it is no wonder that the Dali faction is peaceful and peaceful.

The wind."

If an ordinary envoy said this, Yang Yunxian could still infer that he was ignorant, but what kind of reputation did Su You have in Dali? This was because he was covering up for his country.

He had no choice but to smile and say: "The angel saw this and was able to make the Gao family retreat. My master is so grateful that he specially ordered me to come to greet him. How about asking the angel to enter the customs with me?"

Su You nodded: "Very good."

The scenery around Cangshan, Erhai, and Yangjume City is also very beautiful.

The customs here are closer to the nomadic people, and the religion is closer to Tibetan Buddhism. It is also the product of the combination of Tantra and local local religions.

As for people's livelihood, they also grow highland barley, as well as cattle, sheep and horses. Farming and fishing in the Erhai Lake area are also developed, and a kind of giant goose is a specialty.

When talking to Yang Yunxian about this, Su You said: "Last time I came to Dali, I brought back many of your Eryuan specialties, including geese, cows, pear trees and walnuts. The varieties are better than those in Meishan. Now in our

It has also been promoted there. Chief Yang, your jurisdiction is truly a land of abundant resources and treasures, as well as a capital of outstanding people."

Yang Yunxian only knew that this boy had been wearing a pair of pants with the young prince of the Gao family, so he and he should be enemies. But now he saw a kind-hearted young scholar who had no hostility towards him, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable.

a lot of.

Then he smiled and said: "The story of Tanhua Lang solving the nursery rhyme and outsmarting Zhigao has been sung everywhere in Dali. Being praised as Tanhua Lang in the Song Dynasty makes Yang Jumei even better."

Su You said: "The wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, and the moon in Erhai Sea. I am finally lucky enough to come here this time, so naturally I have to appreciate it."

Yang Yunxian smiled and said: "If the angel is not in a hurry to return to the Song Dynasty, in March next year, the Erhai meadow, with flowers blooming like a blanket of fish and herdsmen competing for songs, will be really beautiful. Unfortunately, it is winter now, with wind and snow, and the flowers and

Yue, I'm afraid it's not worth the angel's exploration, hahahaha..."

Su You said: "Wind and snow are actually good things. Let alone snow, auspicious snow heralds a good year. The water source of Erhai Lake also comes from the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Speaking of this wind... By the way, Chief Wang, the Eryuan area should use the wind.

Has it been polished?"

"Huh?" Yang Yunxian was a little confused by Su You's routine: "Of course the windmill is a good thing, but this thing is only available in the Anning Valley area. I heard that it requires the use of the mechanical kit from Meishan Jiangyang... etc.

, Angel, you are now the governor of Songzhou!"

Yang Yunxian's eyes suddenly turned eager: "If the angel can help me with several sets of wind mills in Eryuan, my Yang family will be grateful."

Su You nodded and said: "I have an idea along the way. If this idea can be realized, a few sets of windmills are just trivial."

Yang Yunxian asked: "I wonder what the angel is worried about?"

Su You said: "Chief, look at it. The estrangement between East and West Dali is getting deeper and deeper. They only met with swords four years ago, and they almost started fighting again yesterday."

"Meishan Sitong Company has its own interests in Dali. The fine iron at the mouth of the Anning River now supports the entire southwest."

"My idea is to open up a non-war zone in the center of Shanchanfu and Yangjumei, that is, the Nongdongfu area. The Sitong Company will invest in the construction and send prospecting teams to explore, mine, and produce products.

"

"You don't need to pay a penny, but you can send supervisors to conduct financial supervision. The Yang family and the Gao family will each receive 20% of all proceeds, how about that?"

Yang Yunxian asked: "Don't we have to do anything?"

Su You said: "Besides business, we don't need to do anything else. The Yang family can provide us with labor, daily food, meat, eggs, vegetables, all of which are available on the market. The Gao family provides us with transportation vehicles and ships, and water and land road protection."

"Chief Wang, if the Gao family chooses to cooperate with the Song Dynasty, we should be able to see the results. In fact, it is not impossible for Xi Dali to take such a path."

Yang Yunxian asked: "I just asked you to tell Mingrun, Mingrun, what kind of mineral deposits have you set your sights on?"

Su You said: "Of course it's copper. I want to know the state next. How can I be promoted without outstanding political achievements?"

"Let Sitong Company help Nongdong develop the copper mine and transport it to the prefecture for distribution. You must know that this is the metal that is most urgently needed in the Song Dynasty. Such political achievements have to be looked at differently by the big guys in the DPRK and China."

Yang Yunxian is a little eager. Now that the Yang family is weak, to put it bluntly, the Gao family has a relationship with the Song Dynasty. But now it seems that the Song Dynasty is not the only choice for the Gao family, he can do it too!

I heard Su You say: "With Nongdongfu as a non-war zone as a buffer zone, and with business cooperation, no matter what happens, everyone can sit down and talk slowly, instead of going into battle with each other at every turn like now.

"

"Of course, in order to ensure the profits of the merchants, you two should allow the merchants to organize an armed force on their own, let's call it the mine protection team. This team is symbolic and not large in number. I think six hundred people are enough.

, they only protect the assets of Song Dynasty merchants in Longdong Mansion from infringement, which actually protects everyone’s income. What does Chief Wang think?"

Yang Yunxian asked: "Mingrun, how much income can you expect from this?"

Su You smiled and said: "This depends on the output of the copper mine, but Sitong Company is used to doing big things, and small smelting companies like this in Dali today will not look down on it... Well, we can invest ten yuan in advance.

Fifty thousand guan, and increase it to 300,000 guan within three years. In terms of output income, my hope is to produce refined copper per month... let’s start with 50,000 jin."

In the later Qing Dynasty, the annual output of Yunnan copper was tens of millions of kilograms, of which 40% was southern copper and 60% was northern copper.

The production areas of Beitong are mainly concentrated in Chuxiong and the west of Kunming, which happens to be the area where Nongdongfu is now.

After ten years of development in Meishan, mining and smelting technology has been no less advanced than during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Su You optimistically estimates that once the copper industry is fully constructed, the annual output of one million kilograms should not be a big problem.

Although these coppers are about the same as Dali, most of them will definitely go to the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Sitong Company had already sent people to measure the veins of several large copper mines, and everything was ready. All they needed was the east wind.
