The storytelling next was a lively and grand discussion. Every time Huo Sanwen said a paragraph, he would interrupt the excited listener and discuss it for a while. Huo Sanwen was not annoyed, and he would join in from time to time and express his own opinions.

There are many admirers for Zhou Shizong, who has only been emperor for five and a half years. There are many legendary stories about him on the border of Song and Liao. Although more than a hundred years have passed, people still talk about it.

Whenever the Liao Kingdom invaded the territory and the Song army retreated, the Yan and Zhao men would think of Zhou Shizong, saying that if he did not die prematurely, but became the emperor for more than ten or twenty years, he would take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. How could the Khitans run rampant?

Many people expressed their opinions, and they were extremely lively. Wu Ji knew more and more about Zhou Shizong, and finally sorted out a clear outline.

Zhou Shizong was the founder of the reunification of the Central Plains after the Five Dynasties, not Zhao Kuangyin. It was in just a few years that he had accumulated strength for the Later Zhou Dynasty and changed the strategic situation. Only after the Chenqiao mutiny of Zhao Kuangyin, he could he smoothly unify the Central Plains.

"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the North China Plain centered on Beijing in modern times. The land is fertile and the people are rich, and there are a large number of Han people. Unfortunately, they are under the iron hoof of the Khitans. The people here hate both the Khitans and the incompetence of the Song Dynasty. If someone gets the land of Yanyun, it will be enough to achieve great things." After Wu Ji learned about the situation, he affirmed his opinion even more.

"In the long-term Song and Liao war, the Song army was more defeated and won fewer victory. The border people did not recognize the Song Dynasty. After obtaining Yanyun's land, they could take the north and their strength would increase greatly. It is entirely possible to resist Liao in the north and resist Song in the south." Wu Ji thought deeper: "If I had my weapons to help, it would not be a problem to destroy the Liao Kingdom. The time is ripe, and it is possible to even take the Song Dynasty and replace it."

The Sixteen State of Yanyun is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land. It is very difficult to seize it and it takes an opportunity. Who will get it?

Wu Ji just thought about this problem and was not accurate. Because the times create heroes, and even if a person is more successful, there is no time to take advantage of the times, which is also a delusion.

A legend of Zhou Shizong was discussed for two hours before he finished speaking. The atmosphere was quite good, better than Huo Sanwen's words about the Three Kingdoms. Wu Ji was also very interested and listened with relish. It was not until two hours later that he left Beilan Wazi.

After leaving Beilan Wazi, Wu Ji decided to take a walk elsewhere. Xiongzhou is not only prosperous, but also ancient style and charm. Wu Ji saw it and felt a little more fresh. Otherwise, he would be unwilling to accept it.

This was awesome, and it was not until midnight that I was over and returned.

When they returned, the personal soldiers were satisfied and happy. Wu Ji was a little regretful that Yang Xiuxiu did not come. Wu Ji originally wanted to bring her to Xiongzhou, but Yang Xiuxiu was a virtuous person and knew that there were too many things about Wu's military industry and did not agree.

He had nothing to say all night, and got up early the next morning. Wu Ji used too early to ask Wu Jian to find the blacksmith, and he and a few personal soldiers were preparing to visit Lin Hong.

Here comes to Xiongzhou, selling Wu's military-industry weapons is an important goal of Wu Ji. In the Xiongzhou army, Wu Ji only knows Lin Hong. If he wants to sell the weapons and get help from Lin Hong, it is very important.

Lin Hong's home is in the south of the city, and Wu Ji and his party rushed to the south of the city. Walking along the street, there were still crowds of people along the way, and Wu Ji looked at it as he walked.

"Brother Ji, look at it quickly, there!"

While he was walking, Wu Xing suddenly pointed ahead and shouted at Wu Ji: "Liao Gou is so hateful! hateful! hateful!"

Yan Lai was extremely angry, his teeth were chewed, as if he had encountered an enemy.

Wu Ji looked in the direction of his finger and saw a huge courtyard not far ahead, with houses lined up one by one, no less than hundreds of rooms.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a team of Liao soldiers stood in two sides, standing there like wooden stakes, extremely majestic.

"Although the Liao dog is hateful, it is extraordinary. No wonder it can suppress the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years!" Wu Ji saw the military posture of the Liao soldiers and had to admit that the Liao soldiers were indeed outstanding.

This place is located in a downtown city, right on the street. It was originally a lively area, but because of the Liao soldiers, the people took a detour from afar, as if the Liao soldiers were plague gods.

In fact, the Liao soldiers were the plague gods. They were domineering and regarded Xiongzhou as the back garden of the Khitan. They did whatever they wanted, but no one dared to take care of them. If the people approached, they would make things difficult for them or even beat them up.

These Liao soldiers glanced around with their eyes and wandered around the people walking far away, just like hunters looking at their prey, and they would occasionally crack the corners of their mouths, looking disdainful.

Above the gate of the courtyard, there is a huge plaque with three large mud gold characters "Quanguan", each of which is as big as a Dou. These three characters are written in two characters, Khitan and Chinese characters. The Khitan characters are above and the Chinese characters are below, all of which are mud gold. From a distance, the golden light shines, striking the eyes.

If you pass by here, it is difficult to not see it. The Liao people’s intentions are obvious, which means that they will disgust the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty could not defeat the Khitan, and the Liao Kingdom built the tribute hall to Xiongzhou, and it was so grand. Who can not resent? Wu Ji saw it, and it was no different from the insulting words such as "the sick man in East Asia" and "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", and his teeth were chewed in a quack.

"Liaogou is really angry! This is humiliating us!"

"Poor official family, I can tolerate it!"

The personal soldiers saw it and were angry in their hearts. They clenched their fists and wanted to rush forward and smash it.

In the Chanyuan alliance, Kou Zhun won a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to recuperate and carry out reforms, which is understandable. Because the Song Dynasty had too many problems, if it wanted to reform, it had to negotiate with the Liao Kingdom and temporarily terminate the military battle.

However, the Song Dynasty did not take advantage of this rare opportunity to reform. Instead, it was drunk and dreamed, thinking that with the Chanyuan Alliance, the Liao army would not fight, and from then on, it would rest assured.

Unexpectedly, their dreams did not last long and were shattered by the Liao people. By the Chongxi period, the Liao Kingdom was no longer satisfied with the annual monies agreed in the Chanyuan Alliance, and gave them 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 pieces of silk. The Emperor of Liao mobilized a large army and gathered on the border of Song and Liao, showing off his appearance of entering the Central Plains, forcing the Song Dynasty to seek peace.

Song Renzong was timid and sent a timid minister, Fu Bi, to negotiate. Fu Bi could not play with the Liao people, and finally agreed that the Song Dynasty doubled its annual monies and turned into 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk. This little silver and silk was nothing to the Song Dynasty, which had a strong economic strength.

However, what is unexpected is that Emperor Renzong of Song actually accepted the most humiliating treaty and changed the gifted annual monies to the annual monies. The word "加" didn't matter, which made the Song Dynasty lose all its face. From then on, the Liao Kingdom built a grand "tribute hall" in Xiongzhou, which was beautifully built and specifically disgusted the Song Dynasty.

This is the origin of the famous "Zhongxi currency increase" in history.

"Don't give me a chance, otherwise I will smash this tribute hall!" Wu Ji looked at the glittering plaque, and was so angry that his teeth itched. He held his right hand tightly on the hilt of the knife, exerting too much force, and the back of his hand turned blue.
