Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"What, five thousand dollars!"

When Wanyan Aguda happily sold the century-old mountain ginseng to Liao merchants, he couldn't help but get angry when he heard the price.

"Yes, it's five strings of money!" Liao Shang said calmly.

Wanyan Aguda said angrily: "What a profiteer. Open your eyes. This is a wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old."

Liao Shang said: "Warrior Wanyan, please calm down. The price of five guan of money depends on the fact that Warrior Wanyan is a Jurchen leader and wants to cooperate for a long time. If an ordinary person comes, it will be worth at most three guan of money!"

"How can it be so low? Everyone knows that the emperor of the Southern Dynasties issued a reward. Thousand-year-old ginseng is worth a thousand guan. If these ginsengs that are more than hundreds of years old were in the Southern Dynasties, they would be worth at least hundreds of guan! How can it be worth only five guan?" Ended Yan Aguda angrily rebuked.

Wanyan Aguda believed that ginseng was a God-given opportunity for the Jurchens to flourish, but now the attitude of Liao merchants gave him a blow, and the price difference was dozens of times higher.

Liao merchants sarcastically said: "The Southern Dynasty is worth a hundred guan! Then Wanyan warriors go to the Southern Dynasty to sell it! In the Liao Kingdom, a hundred-year-old ginseng is worth five guan."

Wanyan Aguda was young and energetic, so he couldn't bear it. He immediately put away the ginseng, stood up and said, "I won't sell it anymore!"

The Liao merchant said nonchalantly, "Wanyan warriors are free to do whatever they want, but I want to remind Wanyan warriors that the sale of ginseng is the business of the emperor's grandson. Even if you sell it in other places, the price will be the same."

Wanyan Aguda couldn't believe it, so he left immediately.

However, when Wanyan Aguda found other dealers one after another, the prices he got were all the same, and some were even less than five guan.

Firstly, they didn't dare to offend the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi. Secondly, they all naturally wanted to make a lot of money, so they naturally tried their best to lower the price.

After Wanyan Agu went around in circles, he saw that his fellow tribesmen were suppressed by Liao merchants and had no ability to resist. He could only sell the precious ginseng at a low price in exchange for some meager supplies to survive.

"Yelu Yanxi deceived people too much!"

Back at Wanyan tribe, Wanyan Aguda was still furious.

The Jurchen tribe risked their lives to dig ginseng in the deep mountains and old forests. They finally found a way for the Jurchen tribe to prosper, but they immediately attracted pressure from the Liao Kingdom.

If it were before, although the Jurchen tribes knew that ginseng could be used as medicine, they did not know its true value, and they suffered a big loss.

Nowadays, the emperors of the Southern Dynasties clearly offer a reward of thousands of dollars to buy thousand-year-old ginseng, and the powerful people in the Southern Dynasties are in constant demand for ginseng.

However, the Liao Dynasty openly lowered the price of ginseng. The Jurchens were sitting on Jinshan, but they could only beg for food. How could Aguda be willing to accept such a huge gap.

"The situation is stronger than the people! Now I, the Jurchen, do not have the strength to resist the Liao Emperor." His brother Wanyan Wu Yashu said solemnly.

"Are we Jurchens going to be oppressed by the Khitan all the time!" Wanyan Aguda clenched his fists and said angrily.

At this moment, he has completely seen the true face of the Liao Dynasty. No matter how many rare treasures the Jurchens have, they will not prosper because the Liao Dynasty will always suppress the Jurchens and turn the Jurchens into a cornucopia of Khitan.

"Wait for the opportunity. When all the Jurchen tribes are dissatisfied with the Liao Emperor, that's the opportunity I'm waiting for!" Wanyan Wu Yashu said with a sharp look.

"Brother!"

Wanyan Aguda looked at his brother in disbelief. He did not expect that his brother, who had always shown loyalty to Emperor Liao, would have such ambitions.

Wanyan Wu Yashu sneered and said: "No one wants to live in a bitter cold land all the time, and no one wants to be oppressed by other tribes all the time. Now that God has given me an opportunity and given me Jurchen ginseng and other elixirs, it is destined to make me Jurchen rise. "

Wanyan Agu nodded solemnly. He understood more clearly that the Jurchens' current strength was not enough to fight against the Liao Kingdom.

What they need is to continue to endure and secretly increase their strength, and their capital is the inexhaustible ginseng in Changbai Mountain.

At the moment, Wanyan Aguda led a group of warriors from the Wanyan tribe and continued to step into the dense forests of the Changbai Mountains. The more inaccessible the place, the greater the chance of finding century-old ginseng or thousand-year-old ginseng.

Soon, Wanyan Aguda found a lot of wild old wild ginseng. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the emperor's grandson, he sold some wild ginseng that was in bad condition or young to Liao merchants at a low price. In his hand, there are many old wild ginseng that are in the best condition and are the oldest.

Wanyan Aguda did not act rashly. He was patiently looking for his prey like a hunter. Recently, he had sold a lot of ginseng to Liao merchants. He believed that other businessmen would be excited by the huge benefits of ginseng.

Until a Han merchant came to the Wanyan tribe, Wanyan Agu's heart moved, and he immediately understood that his opportunity had come.

"I heard that Mr. Wanyan is a Jurchen warrior and has collected the most ginseng. I would like to purchase a batch of old mountain ginseng, and I would like to ask Mr. Wanyan to fulfill his request." Sure enough, the Han merchant offered a generous meeting gift and said in a formal tone.

Wanyan Aguda looked at the Han merchants carefully. It was not that there were no Han people in the Liao Kingdom. Han people were all present in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and Han merchants could be found everywhere in the Liao Kingdom. Moreover, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun bordered the Song Dynasty and had the largest ginseng. The market was the Song Dynasty, and he was not surprised by the arrival of Han merchants.

Wanyan Agu shook his head and said: "If you buy ginseng, you are buying the wrong one. All the ginseng from the Wanyan tribe was sold to the emperor's grandson."

The Han merchant sneered and said: "A hundred-year-old wild ginseng only costs five guan, but in the Song Dynasty it could be sold for nearly a hundred guan. I don't believe Mr. Wanyan can bear such a business. If Mr. Wanyan has old ginseng in his hands, , I will definitely give you a satisfactory price..."

Wanyan Agu was moved in her heart, but her face remained calm.

"Twenty guan for a century-old ginseng. The heavier the weight, the higher the price. If it's a thousand-year ginseng, it's at least 300 guan! After all, it needs to be taken care of on the next journey. This is already a conscientious price." The Han merchant said through gritted teeth.

"Three hundred guan!" Wanyan Aguda's breath was stagnant. This price was already much higher than what the Liao merchants had paid.

Normally, he would have been ecstatic when he heard this price, but he did not act rashly. After all, he was not sure whether this was a trap by the emperor's grandson.

Seeing this, the Han merchant gritted his teeth and said, "Master Wanyan is the number one warrior of the Wanyan tribe. He must be in great need of this."

At that moment, Han Shang took out a dozen iron pieces from his arms and placed them in front of Wanyan Aguda.

"This is it? Armor piercing plate!"

Wanyan Aguda's eyes shrank. He immediately recognized that the iron pieces in front of him were armor pieces. He had followed the Liao army in the rebellion and had seen the armor worn by the Liao army's generals.

"Yes, a thousand-year-old ginseng in exchange for a pair of armors. Is Mr. Wanyan satisfied with this transaction?" Han Shang said confidently. He knew that the Jurchen tribe was extremely backward, and armors were an offer that Wanyan Aguda could not refuse.

"Are you sure you can get armor-piercing pieces?" Wanyan Aguda couldn't wait to ask. When the Han merchant was able to take out the armor-piercing piece, he knew that this Han merchant could not be a test of the Liao Kingdom. After all, the Liao Kingdom could not use it. Prick his nails to test him.

Han Shang confidently said: "If it is other armors, I will naturally not be able to transport them. However, the armor is separated into pieces, which is the easiest to transport. As for the pieces of armor, weaving them into armor, I think it will not be a problem for Mr. Wanyan. .”

Wanyan Aguda nodded solemnly and said: "This is natural. If you can bring Zha Jia, you can get Thousand-Year Ginseng."

At that moment, the Han merchant took off his clothes, revealing the dense armor underneath! Then, in various hidden corners of the motorcade, he pieced together a complete set of armor.

When the Han merchant left with the thousand-year-old ginseng, Wanyan Aguda personally woven the pieces into armor.

Looking at the armor on his body, Wanyan Aguda looked in the direction of the Changbai Mountains and said proudly: "With these ginseng, what else can't be planned?"
