Chapter 726 Rumors arise

When Child heard Chen Yuan greet him, he immediately ran over and said, "Mr. Prince."

When the generals around him saw Chen Yuan attracting such a foreign guy, they were all a little surprised. Chen Yuan only introduced to them: "Everyone, this is an envoy from Rome that was far away, that is, the former Daqin."

Di Qing was surprised when he heard this: "Daqin? That's a long way. The last time their envoy came to us was the Tang Dynasty. I heard that it had been around for nearly ten years."

During the Tang Dynasty, the Arab Empire rose and the Silk Road was interrupted. If the Romans wanted to obtain the silk from the Song Dynasty, they had to go through the Arab Empire. Moreover, the Arabs were doing business very badly, and the black Romans could not accept the price.

Later, they sent a few people to the Tang Dynasty to learn silk technology from raising silkworms. Those people went through hardships from land to travel through the Arab region. After returning after they finished their studies, the young guys who came to the Tang Dynasty turned into old men. However, they did let the Romans weave silk by themselves.

Of course, Child knew such great achievements. Child immediately said: "Go back to this general, I have been walking for more than a year this time. If I hadn't walked by the sea, and someone had guided the path for me, I think I should be still on the road now."

Chen Yuan smiled: "Everyone knows me, we will cooperate in the future. If possible, I think we will have the opportunity to go to Daqin."

He said it casually, but after hearing it, Di Qing and others felt another message that Chen Yuan conveyed to them. They might have the opportunity to go to the Qin Dynasty in the future? This means that the army in the future will still have a place to be useful, which really reassures these generals.

What the generals needed was the battlefield. As the matter of the Liao Kingdom was about to be concluded, all of them were a little worried, worried that the knife in their hands would be put away by the scholars and officials. Chen Yuan's words obviously made them let go of some of the burdens in their hearts.

Liu Ping stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Prince Concubine, how many cavalry will the emperor send us?"

The most important reason why the Liao Kingdom was able to delay until now was that the cavalry team of the Song Dynasty did not have the ability to march into the grassland. Renzong had already formed cavalry on a large scale. Although many war horses were not in place due to the Uighurs' asking price, the war horses transported from other places had already given the Song Dynasty cavalry to a certain scale, such as Mongolia and Tubo.

In Di Qing and the others' opinion, Chen Yuan's outing will definitely bring enough cavalry, because this is a necessary condition to solve the problem of the Liao Kingdom. When Chen Yuan heard Liu Ping ask him this, he smiled mysteriously: "When we finish our meal, we will go into the house and talk."

Renzong prepared 150,000 cavalry for Chen Yuan's military operation this time, but these fifteen people were just a number. They had not come yet, and they had not even determined their organization and generals. This surprised Di Qing and others. In their opinion, without cavalry, there was no way to fight this battle.

They had no choice, but Chen Yuanyou brought more than 20 of the best painters from the Song Dynasty, and also brought a set of the most advanced printing equipment. The day after he arrived in Zhongjing, Chen Yuan found some people who came from the Liao Kingdom and asked these people to tell their miserable situation in the Liao Kingdom. Then the painters used as concise techniques as possible to draw the descriptions of these people and then printed them on paper, so that they could understand them at a glance.

Finally, the caravans brought these papers into the Liao Kingdom and quietly sprinkled among the people.

Chen Yuan will use this channel to convey a message to the people who are now living under the notification of Yelu Niegulu, that is, they are living in dire straits. If you want to get rid of such a life, you can only get rid of the rule of Yelu Niegulu.

These things that were some, or even less not, were introduced to the Liao Kingdom after Chen Yuan's rendering. They all have a common role, which is to slander the image of Yelu Niegulu, making the Liao people feel that the people who made their lives so difficult now are not the Song people.

It is because of Yelu Niegulu's existence that the war continues, and it is also because of Yelu Niegulu's existence that the surrounding countries are their own enemies.

Before Chen Yuan arrived in Zhongjing, Yelu Niegulu knew that Chen Shimei was coming again, but he didn't care. Yelu Niegulu thought that he had seen Chen Yuan's methods clearly, which was nothing more than economic strangulation and military pressing. Li Yuanhao was so playful, and he thought he had learned his lesson.

So when the rumors just came in, he was not very alert. In Yelu Negolu's opinion, although the Khitans are in difficulty, they are relatively united. Moreover, he learned the lessons of being an option in terms of economy and did not allow the deterioration of the economic situation from the beginning.

There is also the army of Liao. Yelu Niegulu's focus is on the army. He believes that as long as the 400,000 cavalry are still there, Chen Shimei wants to swallow himself in one bite, even if he can do it, he will lose a few of his front teeth.

Yelu Niegulu was still following his own steps. The situation in the court of Liao Kingdom has improved a lot now. For the first time, he used the excuse of executing officials who performed unfavorable during the attack of the Song Dynasty. Later, after being rescued from Xiao Ta, he had a second excuse and was washed twice. Now the court is much more stable.

What's more, he has already endured this winter. Although many people have died, spring is coming and the grass on the field is starting to green again, which also means that the hope of the Liao Kingdom has arrived.

The question discussed in the Liao Dynasty today is whether to relax some controls so that residents can have their own food.

Because now they only have grasslands, grazing has become their main lifestyle. If Yelu Niegulu still implements high-pressure notifications to seize the food and livestock of those situations, then there will be no hope next year.

Yelu Niegulu also knew that this situation must be over and that the herdsmen must be allowed to grazle. It was just that how many animals each person gave them needed to be discussed carefully.

The court discussed it for a long time, but there was no result. Whether it was Housai or Yelu Hanba, their talent for governing the country was only reflected in the prosperous period of Liao Xingzong. The Liao Kingdom, like the kind of person who could turn the tide and fall, was very lacking.

This is also the most troublesome problem for Yelu Niegulu now. There was no result in a whole morning. After the scattered court, Yelu Niegulu asked Hou Shi and Yelu Hanba to come to his study room to continue discussing this issue.

In terms of ability alone, Yelu Negulu was an excellent emperor, and his decisive methods were much better than Yelu Hongji. Moreover, he was not luxurious or extravagant. After moving into the palace, he dispersed few palace servants who were already few.

He even vacated half of the palace as an office space, and only had two dishes a day to eat, and even when the money was at its most difficult time, Yelu Niegulu took the lead in eating only two meals a day.

Whether it is Yelu Hanba or Hou Shi, they now believe that if Liao Xingzong immediately handed over the position to Yelu Niegulu after his death, the situation in Liao Kingdom would definitely not be the situation today.

Now that these are useless, they can only hope that Yelu Niegulu can lead the Khitans out of the current predicament.

"Two sirs, the deregulation of today must be done faster, because we don't have much time now. I believe the two sirs also know that Chen Shimei is back. This kid is one of my most worried opponents."

When Yelu Niegulu said Chen Yuan, a ray of light shone out in his eyes, which was obviously inspired by the fighting spirit in his heart.

Hou Shi sat on the chair and said, "Don't worry, Chen Shimei is just using some tricks to spread rumors and cause trouble now. As long as I don't take him seriously, I will naturally be self-defeating."

Another reason why Hou Shi was optimistic about Yelu Niegulu was because of his casualness. In addition to the court, Yelu Niegulu always ignored those etiquettes when they were talking in private.

Yelu Hanba next to him had a different view of Hou Shu. He thought for a while and said, "Long live, Chen Shimei likes to use some tricks of arbitrary methods. The defeat of Dangxiang and Li Yuanhao was the lesson of our past. No matter what method he did, we must be careful to release it."

Yelu Nie snorted: "Pick up and release? How to lift up and release? The most important thing for us to breathe through this breath first. Winter has passed. If the Song Dynasty can give me another half a year to wait for the sheep and horse to become strong, it will not be so easy for Chen Shimei and Di Qing to defeat us."

In Yelu Niegulu's opinion, the most important thing now is to take a breath. It is not that he knew that the caravans and the Song people were contacting him, and it is not that he knew that many Liao people were fleeing to him. But he did not stop these things at all, and everything was to recover. At this time, even if Chen Yuan had some small moves, Yelu Niegulu would ignore him.

Yelu Hanba wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yelu Niegulu: "Don't think about these things now. You can help me find a way to make our herders have cattle and sheep to graz. "

We returned to the topic of discussion in the court, and Yelu Hanba and Hou Shi were both silent. They thought about the solution that they had not come up with in the morning, so where would they be there now?

According to Yelu Niegulu's statistics, the Liao Kingdom now does not include war horses, with more than 4 million cattle, sheep and horses, and nearly one million herders. In other words, if someone wants to distribute it, each person can only receive four livestock. This number is not enough for a herder to live in.

So we can only grazing in centralized areas. However, grazing in centralized areas is destined to have many people who have nothing to do. Yelu Hanba and Houshe have no good idea.

After thinking for a while, Hou Hai looked at Yelu Niegulu's color: "Long live, I see, Zhang Liba will definitely get along with him."

"Zhang Li?" Yelu Niegulu read the name and frowned.

He also knew Zhang Li's ability. When Liao Xingzong was alive, Zhang Li was an important official. Liao Xingzong had any problems that could not be solved, and he was always the first to ask Zhang Li.
