That night Su Lishe presided over the ceremony, and in accordance with the custom of the Song Dynasty, Jin Dazhong married Yelu Nanxian in a grand ceremony.

There is no way, the etiquette of straight women is too vulgar, and if they are not to be looked down upon by the Liao people, they can only use Song rites to suppress them.

Su Lishe is an old man who came from the palace, and it was easy for him to play these tricks, which really made everyone look good.

In the next few days, Yelu Nanxian was taken by Su Lishe to get familiar with the situation of female straight women.

Yelu Nanxian was from the Liao Dynasty, and Su Lishe was from the Song Dynasty, but at least he still had an older brother. Yelu Nanxian could not believe in Su Lishe, but he could not disbelieve his own brother.

We are all smart people. Although Su Lishe's actions were incomprehensible to Yelu Nanxian, Yelu Nanxian also knew whether he was lying to her or not.

Su Lishe was really like a big housekeeper, telling the new head of the house about his husband's property, management, rules, and family members. He told Yelu Nanxian everything in detail. It was completely like he was handing over internal affairs.

Su Lishe's attitude was of great benefit for Yelu Nanxian to quickly enter his role, and also made Yelu Nanxian less disgusted with this Song Dynasty person.

Su Lishe told Yelu Nanxian that he should have returned to the Song Dynasty to take care of his old age long ago. His Majesty of the Song Dynasty had long been wasting his time as an envoy, and his position as an envoy was waiting for him.

The reason why I have been staying in Wanyan Department is actually because I don't trust Dazhong. Now that the child is finally married, I can finally relieve myself of the burden.

Under Su Lishe's introduction, Yelu Nanxian also had a correct understanding of the strength of female straight women, and was secretly surprised.

Nowadays, after the millet is harvested in the autumn, the female straight people will be divided into two parts. One part will stay in Hun Tongjiang, guarding the ancestral land, working on fishing and hunting, and continuing to strengthen their muscles and bones.

The other part will go south and move along the Huntong River to Huibacheng, and then continue upstream to the Baishan Mountains. After crossing a ridge, they will reach the Baishan Forest Farm in the upper reaches of Luzhou.

They would cut wood there until March and pile up pine, walnut, catalpa, oak, linden, elm, poplar, birch and other wood.

Among them is a type of ash, which was highly praised in the Song Dynasty because of its beautiful wood grain.

Until the ice breaks in March and the spring water rises, the Yalu River waterway enters the busy season. Countless rafts will be lowered from the river source forest farm and received by the four states along the Yalu River. Most of them will be collected in Zhuzhou and transported by the sea.

The boat was towed to Jiaodong.

There were also countless straight women, traveling by water or land, carrying precious materials such as animal skins, deer antlers, ginseng, medicinal materials, honey, beeswax, gold dust, etc. to the four states to exchange goods from the Song Dynasty.

In mid-April, tribesmen carrying treasures from the Song Dynasty will return to the Huntong River, and busy farming begins.

There are three main crops, potatoes, soybeans, and corn. This year Sulishe plans to introduce a new species - sugar beets.

The soil in Hun Tongjiang is incredibly fertile, but due to weather conditions, crops can only be planted at the end of April.

However, due to the excellent sunshine conditions, once the climate is suitable, it will grow wildly once planted.

Although it was only one season, the harvest was enough for Su Lishe to be admired and even worshiped in the Wanyan Department.

With potatoes and corn, there is a staple food; with soybeans, there are oils; with beets, there is sugar, which is something that can make people feel happy just like the honey from Mount Paektu.

There are many blessings brought by Su Lishe, such as the bee bucket, which allows straight women to dig out honey from rock crevices and tree holes. They only need to be bear-proof.

For example, various fishing nets, cages, strong fishing lines and steel hooks make fishing much more efficient than original nets.

There is also delicious food, thanks to two seasonings - bean paste and shrimp paste.

The sea salt in Yaozhou, Liaodong, was once an important material for the Liao Kingdom's smuggling trade with the Song Dynasty. In later generations, the salt there was once the best quality tribute.

Among the restoration plans for Liaodong proposed by Bian Guan to Concubine Wen, one was to introduce capital and technology from the Song Dynasty, expand the Yaozhou salt field, build Jinzhou, Suzhou, and Pingnan salt fields, increase salt production, distribute salt imports, and use the Liaodong salt industry as an economic means.

Influence surrounding areas.

Among them, Chukyo-do, Shangkyo-do, and Nüzhi areas are all important salt exporting places.

Salt is a necessity that everyone needs. This method leaves Shangjing Road with no comparable economic method to compete.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and the effect has not yet fully emerged, but at least the connection between the straight women and Liaodong is closer, and it is far from the Beiting sending a loyal Yelu Nanxian to reverse the situation.

For ordinary people who are straight women, the prosperity of the salt industry in Liaodong is also a good thing. At least the price they pay for salt is more than half of what it was before.

The effect is that doenjang appeared in the Northeast in advance, and now it is a craft that almost every straight woman can do.

In addition to beets, with the decline of Beiting and the strength of the tribe, Sulishe even prepared to let the female straight people start building wooden houses and realize settlement.

We are also planning to introduce pig breeds from the Song Dynasty, introduce large deer from the Nuergan people in the far north, recruit reindeer people, and try out family-style animal husbandry in Nuzhi.

From nomadic to settled, from tribe to family, from butcher knife to prayer wheel, this is the ultimate secret of Su You in dealing with the surrounding tribes.

Then comes artillery versus bow and arrow, steel versus body, supply versus demand, civilization versus barbarism.

Today's straight women are powerful, but although the speed of expansion is still increasing, the acceleration has begun to decrease.

Because of its expansion drive, under the quiet guidance of Su Lishe, a large part of it has begun to shift in the direction of seeking internal development.

From plunder to self-reliance, this is the essence of the Wanyan Department hidden in a prosperous situation.

Su You's plan is to consume the remaining power for expansion in the process of annexing Beiting, and finally achieve a temporary balance.

After that, except for Chineseization, there is no other way for straight women to go.

But that should be the historical mission of the next generation.

Yelu Nanxian thought about various possibilities on the way here, but he never thought that he would be able to gain a foothold so easily with the help of the second most important person in the Wanyan Department.

Happiness actually came to me in the most unlikely place.

Yelu Nanxian was dressed in riding clothes and was patrolling this huge meadow accompanied by Su Lishe. He heard Su Lishe say: "In the straight women's department, there was no one who could talk about poetry before. Madam

I have been reading a lot of poetry and books, so I am looking forward to having a conversation partner. I have talked a lot these days, and I am really sorry for delaying my wife's wedding."

"What did the elder say?" Yelu Nanxian's favorable impression of Su Lishe has become stronger and stronger in recent days, and he quickly said: "These are tribal priorities. Nanxian must thank the elder for his teachings, otherwise he will have to be the governor to inform the people.

I don’t know when it will be.”

Su Lishe said with a smile: "But I have to leave eventually. From now on, I will find someone to talk to, but I need to build a school and develop culture and education. There is a long way to go..."

"Erlin witchcraft is very useful for today's straight women, but as the tribe grows, it can be used to control people's hearts, but it is difficult to use it to manage states and counties."

"The same is true for Buddhism."

"Now that Madam is here, the mutated female straight temperament should be Madam's responsibility. From now on, when Madam's child grows up, whether he will be more like Madam or more like Ah Zhong, we should take precautions now."

"Old Master!" Yelu Nanxian, a newly married woman, couldn't help blushing with shame, spat, raised her whip and ran away.

…

While these things were happening, Hebei's three armies were also attacking.

The timeline goes back to December last year. Li Chunyuan and Cao Nan led 24,000 new troops and first captured Wuqing, the first important city not far upstream from the mouth of the Sangqian River.

Wuqing is "the channel of the waterway and the throat of Xunji." It is located at the intersection of Yongding River - now called Wuding River - and Sangqian River, and it has also been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

In the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Yongnu County was renamed Wuqing County. The "Names of Counties and Counties" explains clearly: "Wu Qing takes the meaning of martial arts and clarification."

Nowadays, almost all the Western Liao army is in Zhongjing Road, and Xiao Heshangnu, the magistrate of Wuqing County, only has 3,000 Liao troops under his command.

For a county where the number of troops reached the limit of one state, it cannot be said that Yelu Chun did not pay attention to it at all. However, the three thousand Liao army was defenseless under the attack of the two naval divisions.

Monk Xiao was on the low earthen tower, watching the two fleets divide into two teams at the mouth of the river ahead, and then the lying masts of the leading ten black-gray iron-hulled ships began to turn and raise, and then

A series of smoke and roar.

In Su You's eyes, river gunboats are just a bunch of weaklings. They can only be equipped with two 40mm smoothbore infantry cannons at the head and stern, and a 70mm short-barreled smoothbore cannon on the cabin roof. They are not even as good as the old Meishan-type sailing ships.
