In the first year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, the first day of Yimao in the second year of Da'an in the Great Liao Dynasty (the first day of the lunar month).

The emperor of Liaozhu Yelu Hongji arrived in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo on time.

The Liao Taishi, who was left behind in Tokyo and the governor of Timucheng, led all the generals and the leaders of various tribes, as well as the subjugated wealthy families from all over the Goryeo. The gentry welcomed him thirty miles outside Liaoyang Prefecture.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty for all blessings!"

Yelu Hongji looked at the nobles of Liao, Han officials, female leaders of the tribes, as well as wealthy families and gentry from all over Goryeo who were crawling before his imperial throne.

In his heart, endless pride rose.

"You are exempt from the gift!" He stretched out his hand and said proudly: "I am here now, so I should be rewarded to lead the three armies!"

So, he ordered the Hanlin scholar Wang Shiru to read the reward edict that had been drafted long ago.

First, he was granted the title of Prince of the Emperor, King of Liang, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty to be named Yelu Yanxi and the King of Korea.

It was also announced that from then on, the prince of the Great Liao and the crown prince would be the king of Korea.

In this way, he swears to everyone that his grand plan to destroy Goryeo and restore the four counties of Han will not be shaken or changed.

The Grand Tutor, who was left behind in Tokyo, was the governor of the Mucheng City, still kept the Grand Tutor, and became the chief manager of the Goryeo camp. He was appointed as the Prince of Lelang, and added 10,000 households to the fief, and actually 2,500 households. He also recommended that he be accomplices and accomplices to assist the country and was fully responsible for the Goryeo expedition.

He also gave Yelu Dilie a million yuan, a thousand taels of silver and three hundred pieces of silk, and he was the same.

The generals below Yelu Dilie were all promoted and awarded, and the rewards were different.

The leaders of the tribes who were meritorious were given tea, cloth, incense and medicine and official titles.

The leaders of the wealthy tribes of various Bohai tribes subdued the wealthy tribes and gentry of the Goryeo were also rewarded in turn.

A lot of money was spilled out like this.

Even Yelu Hongji was heartbroken - this hand was worth at least millions of yuan.

There are as many as 200,000 kilograms of tea alone, and there are tens of thousands of pieces of cloth and silk!

There are also thousands of sets of tea sets and porcelain used to make and drink tea.

but……

After Wang Shiru read the reward edict, everyone present, whether he was a Khitan or a Han person, Nu Zhi or Bohai, cheered and shouted for the sage.

Immersed in the shouts and worships of thousands of people, Yelu Hongji felt relaxed and happy!

This is what he wants!

The Great Liao Revival!

He and his country were finally able to get out of the shadow of the Yelu Yixin Rebellion.

This is something that you can't buy for no amount of money!

The most wonderful thing is that most of these rewards were actually purchased from the Southern Dynasties.

The flowers are also all about Song and Liao trade!

It means he is taking money from the Southern Dynasty to attack Goryeo!

It's very cool!

The only problem is that it spends money too quickly!

In less than ten months, all the Jiaozi quotas were spent.

He also made two or three million yuan in the border trade market.

Moreover, the more you spend, the more you spend.

Addicted!

Not to mention the other side, the largest tea purchase in Song and Liao Trade is now impossible to stop!

This year, Yelu Ju and others bought hundreds of thousands of kilograms of tea from around the Southern Dynasties.

The price ranges from more than ten to twenty cents per cake.

It can be said that it is good and cheap. The first batch of 300,000 kilograms purchased was increased by 5 to 10 cents per cake after being shipped to Guozhong, and it was still sold out.

Not only the Khitans, the Xi people and the Han people in the country were rushing to buy them.

Even the Bubu, Nuzhi, Bohai and others also actively purchased.

It's simply in short supply!

So Yelu Ju purchased 200,000 kilograms again, but before he could sell these teas, he was rewarded by Yelu Hongji.

Those cheap teas from the Southern Dynasties have now become the trump card in the hands of Yelu Hongji.

Can unite front, make money, and be rewarded as military rewards.

Starting next year, the purchase volume may be in units of one million jin!

The only problem is that there are too few Song and Liao trade exchanges of three million yuan a year!

If this continues, I am afraid that just purchasing tea every year will consume all these Jiaozi.

This made Yelu Hongji difficult to get angry and a little worried.

"Do you really want to send the gold and silver from the treasury of our Great Liao Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties?" Yelu Hongji was unhappy.

White silver and yellow gold were sent to the Southern Dynasty to exchange for a pile of paper and pieces of paper? What a sin!

But if you don’t use gold and silver, what should you exchange for the Southern Dynasty commercial goods?

If there are not enough commercial goods to annex Goryeo and rebuild the four counties of Han, there is no way to talk about the great cause of revitalizing the country.

Thinking of these things, Yelu Dilie had already come to him, bowed his head again, and replied: "I beg you to offer prisoners to Your Majesty!"

Yelu Hongji came to his senses and showed an extremely bright smile: "Okay!"

Therefore, the Liao cavalry had already prepared and escorted a large number of Goryeo civil and military officials, nobles and even royal families captured from Goryeo, and appeared in front of Yelu Hongji.

These people were captured by the Liao army during the process of breaking through the Great Wall of the Yalu River and capturing Pyongyang.

With the emergence of these people, the ritual and music classes in the Liao Kingdom began to play drums and music.

"The criminals and others offend the power of heaven, and their crimes are unforgivable. I wish the Emperor of Daliao to forgive me!"

Hundreds of Korean civil and military officials and nobles collectively bowed their heads and apologized before them.

Yelu Hongji listened to the trembling voices of these people and watched them crawling on the ground and bowing their heads to surrender.

Especially the saying "The Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty" made him look like an immortal, as if he was not in the world.

He cleared his throat, looked at these people, and then said loudly: "I have introduced the great aspirations of the Seven Saints and followed the etiquette of the saints to visit China, raise the world, and be the lord of the world and the king of China!"

"You and others resisted the king's army and rebelled against the will of heaven. They should have beheaded the East City and spread the heads to all directions to warn them later!"

"However, thinking that God has the virtue of living, you are bewitched by the king's evil. I don't know my kindness and the power of the Great Liao Dynasty, so I will forgive me!"

"Always use you and others to keep your old positions, and each will follow the previous officials, and will be distributed to the rank and salary!"

"The Emperor of Heaven!" The nobles of Goryeo's civil and military officials immediately bowed and cried: "The criminals will be punished if they die!"

Yelu Hongji listened and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past, the Great Liao Dynasty once challenged the Goryeo Wang clan three times.

They all win first and then lose, and even suffered losses at the hands of Wang.

However, he examined the previous defeat and summarized his experience. He knew that the reason for his defeat in the past was that he failed to promptly surrender and accept rebellion and failed to appease the civil and military officials of Goryeo.

Yelu Hongji's biggest advantage is that he can tolerate others and is willing to delegate power and decentralize power!

Therefore, Yelu Hongji had already decided on the strategy before the war in this Goryeo War.

As long as Goryeo civil and military officials are willing to surrender and cooperate.

No matter what the person’s past identity was, what he had done, what he had said?

All are pardoned and they are allowed to serve as their original positions. Several people should even be selected to give high officials generous salaries, so that these people can comfort and recruit the people of Korea.

Even those who led the army to resist, Yelu Hongji had ordered that they should not be humiliated, let alone plundered their family property and humiliated his wife and his family.

Nowadays, this method has a very good effect.

At least in the vast mountainous areas north of Pyongyang, there are endless rebellions that have emerged in the past, but they are simply incomparable to the past!

...

After offering prisoners, Yelu Hongji entered the Liao Kingdom Palace in Liaoyang Prefecture surrounded by civil and military ministers such as Yelu Dilie.

Here, Yelu Hongji saw a whole box of silver tines.

Each tin is a standard Liao Dynasty official silver standard.

"Is this?" Yelu Hongji asked.

Yelu Dilie bowed and said, "I'm telling you that this is a call for Pyongyang. The north side of Linya Xiaobudaye, mined from the silver mine on Tsushima Island in Japan..."

"Now all of them are cast into silver stools to offer to your Majesty!"

Yelu Hongji's heart beat for a moment, and he walked up to pick up a stool and looked at it in front of him.
