These words came easily to Zhao Xiaoyi's mouth, but even if Wang Jing had the courage to say that Zhangzidao Shipping Company was not the leader, he could only say with a smile: "It's such a trivial matter to cause trouble for the young master...

…”

Zhao Xiaoyi said: "But my husband must also understand my difficulties. Now the official family and the Empress Dowager are carrying out reforms, and the clan's property must also pay taxes to the court. Let the goods go through the shipping department. That is not to give Lao Shi face.

It is to create a situation for the officials and the Empress Dowager."

"But if the Shipping Company dares to go too far, even if we get the deal, we can send the ship to Kaizhou and then unload the goods. Will it be difficult for me?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Wang Jing was very satisfied with Zhao Xiaoyi's dandy habits that he exposed from time to time: "I am decades older than my dear brother, but your majesty does not have such a big reputation as my dear brother."

"Porcelain medicine needs to go through the shipping company of your imperial court. In this way, it will be a business-like, tax-paying business. No one in the imperial court can tell whether I am here or not."

Only then did Zhao Xiaoyi look like he suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that my husband can do this. It turns out that there is this level of consideration. I have learned it again."

Wang Jingnan smiled and said: "Young master is joking, you are a nobleman. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is the cousin of the current emperor. Naturally, the nobleman has no use for the little thoughts of these ministers."

"It's not necessary." Zhao Xiaoyi nodded: "But when I go back, I can remind Your Majesty that you have to be wary of people like your husband among the courtiers."

Seeing Wang Jing frozen with embarrassment on his face, Zhao Xiaoyi couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Hahahaha, I'm just kidding my husband! My husband is a great sage in the Liao Kingdom. He guided the water conservancy cooperation between Song and Liao, adding millions of grain to the country every year. In addition, in recent years

We are here to treat the casualties, but there is nothing left to lose. I have praised my husband to the Empress Dowager."

Wang Jing then turned from embarrassment to joy: "After all, it is the emperor's salary and the loyalty to the emperor. How dare you pay tribute to the Holy Mother of the Southern Dynasties? I really don't dare to deserve it."

Zhao Xiaoyi looked at the Chinese fish that had blocked the river channel: "Is this fish delicious?"

"This is the most beautiful delicacy of the Liao Kingdom." Wang Jing said: "The water quality of the fish is special, a little greasy, and has a light salty taste. The Huhuazi fish grows in this salt lake, as if it were in a natural seasoning.

When you grow up, your Majesty will order the local tribes to pay tribute when he is not hunting in Yuerluo."

Zhao Xiaoyi was very happy: "If Situ were here, I don't know how greedy he would be. How about... give me two bucks and let's try them?"

“Must try!”

The Chinese squid does not grow very big, the largest one only weighs one pound, and the preparation is simple, either pan-fried or deep-fried.

Good ingredients, the simpler the processing method, the better. Zhao Xiaoyi was full of praise for the food and said that if Su You came here, he would definitely stay here.

After eating fish, the team went up the river and found a place with shallow water and few fish to cross the river.

This time, Zhao Xiaoyi also brought the ritual utensils needed for the Dajialu Book. This was a big business and used up all the Liao's annual coins this year.

Among them, there are 3,000 high-bridge saddles covered with gold paint, 3,000 complete sets of brass and cowhide harnesses, 600 flags of various tapestry, more than 2,000 exquisite musical instruments, and 1,800 gilt military staffs.

.

In addition, there are 300 pieces of bronze wares and 100 pieces of jade wares imitating the Great Song Dynasty.

This business also attracted many voices of opposition in the DPRK. Finally, Su You called everyone to a meeting and took out the account books. Only then did the officials discover that the general prisoner had used Liao people's annual coins to make two sets of books, most of which were

The Song version was still a shamelessly high-end version, while the one given to the Liao Dynasty was a castrated version.

So everyone stopped making trouble. It turned out that this was the truth. Situ's business was... so good!

When the convoy arrived at Yuerluobaili, it was blocked from moving forward. Yelu Yanxi summoned Wang Jing to see him alone.

Wang Jing came to Zhao Xiaoyi to explain the situation. It turned out that Yelu Hongji wanted to demonstrate and summoned various ministries and palace tents to conduct a counter-insurgency war.

The Quanbu tribe was a Tatar tribe in the northwest of the Liao Kingdom. They rebelled at times and had been fighting against the Liao Kingdom for decades.

The Liao State set up the Northwest Road Recruitment Division in the northwest to rule over the Tatars. The former Recruitment Envoy Xiao Dilu was appeasement in government affairs and mostly selected those who were soft-willed. As a result, the various tribes gradually became domineering.

Later, he was appointed as the envoy to recruit Yelu Tuobu Jiahanrong, and the border defenses were further weakened.

However, Yelutopjia was "smarter" than Xiao Dilu, and he came up with a trick. He imitated the method of treating female children and selected a chief named Magusu from the quasi-tribe as the minister of each tribe.

After Magusu got the power, he conquered east and west, and gradually unified the quasi-tribe into a large tribe. Not only did Yelu Hongji not be wary, but he also generously rewarded him. In this western expedition, he asked the emperor's grandson to support Magusu.

of.

Magusu wanted to show his face in front of Yelu Yanxi and organize troops to attack the Jiaqin tribe, the last tribe in the Zhun tribe that occupied the city.

Yelu Yanxi was unwilling to let the Quanbu show off their power, so he ordered them to watch and personally supervised the army of the Khitan Palace Tent Room to launch an attack on Jiaqin City.

However, during the severe cold, the Jiaqin tribe poured water from wells into the city to make the city walls extremely strong. The war reached a stalemate for a while, and the demonstration gradually turned into a joke.

Yelu Yanxi summoned Wang Jing to ask for advice.

How could Zhao Xiaoyi miss such a good opportunity? He quickly handed over his hand and said: "Your country is not good at attacking cities, maybe Xiaoyi can give your lord some ideas."

Wang Jing was a civil servant, and he was worried about Yelu Yanxi. When he asked about it, he could not explain it, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "What's your clever idea, dear brother?"

Zhao Xiaoyi said: "I can't say this now. I have to look at the situation before I can make any suggestions."

Wang Jing said: "I will go and ask the prince to allow my dear brother to observe the formation."

Wang Jing went there for half a day, and in the afternoon a silver messenger came and asked Zhao Xiaoyi to go to the big tent.

Arriving at the camp, Zhao Xiaoyi saw Yelu Yanxi in military uniform.

Yelu Yanxi was surprised by Zhao Xiaoyi's demeanor: "Unexpectedly, Zhao Songtian's family has such an immortal figure as Lang Jun."

Zhao Xiaoyi bowed to Yelu Yanxi: "To King Yan, if you don't say that your majesty is talented and wise, let's say that the two kings of Jing and Yang are knowledgeable in music, medicine, and philosophy; not to mention the twenty-first uncle, he is a scholar.

Dadao. Compared with them, Xiaoyi is ordinary."

Yelu Yanxi took Zhao Xiaoyi's hand and looked up and down, but couldn't see any trace of a military general: "I heard that you are good at attacking cities?"

Zhao Xiaoyi smiled and said: "The Song Dynasty is different from the Liao Kingdom. City offense and defense have been used for thousands of years. I guess the pattern of Jiaqin City is not much bigger. It should not be difficult to break."

This was Yelu Yanxi's first time presiding over the military affairs, and he encountered trouble. He said to Zhao Xiaoyi, "So please join me in predicting the enemy."

When he saw the appearance of Jiaqin City, Zhao Xiaoyi almost laughed out loud. It was just a dirt wall, and the height of the city was less than two feet!

After looking around, Zhao Xiaoyi looked at a felled pine forest behind the Liao camp and asked Yelu Yanxi: "Your Majesty, have you tried building a nest car?"

Yelu Yanxi frowned: "I tried it, but the built cart is too heavy and can't be pushed uphill."

Zhao Xiaoyi felt confident: "It's simple. Just modify the car that came with me this time so that it can be kept and pushed on."

Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to tell his bodyguard Xiao Wuna: "Go and call someone."

After a while, two majestic men were led by Xiao Wuna. Zhao Xiaoyi couldn't help but laughed and said, "Why are you here?"

The two of them were Gai Libo and A Guda, who were all straight women. They were also extremely happy to see Zhao Xiaoyi. They bowed their heads and prostrated: "Greetings to the high official."

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but be surprised: "Do you know the envoys of the Song Dynasty?"

"I recognize it!" Xiao Wuna nodded: "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the Song Dynasty sent ships to deliver grain into the Yalu River to rescue us, and it was the high officials who handled it."

Yelu Yanxi said to Zhao Xiaoyi: "The people responsible for logging are Gailibo and his son."

Gailibo said: "We are here to ask the Emperor Chun Nabo to give us some help."

Zhao Xiaoyi understood that what Libo said sounded nice, but it was actually Yelu Hongji who wanted to confuse Jiang Nabo. In view of the uneasiness of giving birth to a daughter, he wanted to impeach Libo and his son as hostages.

Of course, this also has many benefits for Gai Libo. For example, the reward for Wanyan women will be very generous, and the status will become the highest among all the women. And the most important point is that it is the same as Zhao Xiaoyi's purpose - to spy.

The reality and reality of the Liao people.
