Chapter 314: Whether to go to war or not

- "Good for both countries. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi disagreed: "Good for both countries? How can there be such a good thing! ”

"How could there be? There is a profitable business for each other, and you have not encountered it, if nothing else, the business we have set out to prepare is profitable for you and me. ”

This time, "Le Lang" actually reasoned with him patiently.

"This kind of business is rare," Zhan Xiaoyi was not easily persuaded by "him": "What's more, Da Liao and the Song Kingdom are not a business, and you Song Kingdom also have such words - on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?" ”

As he spoke, his brows furrowed, and he said seriously: "There will be a battle in the Liao and Song Dynasties, there is no doubt about it!" ”

"Le Lang" did not refute, nor was he angry, and was silent.

Zhan Xiaoyi was furious by "him", and asked unnaturally: "What's wrong?" ”

"Le Lang" raised his eyes, a pair of bottomless black eyes, and looked at him fixedly: "Brother Zhan, have you ever thought about ......?"

"He" stopped at this point, but stopped.

"What have you thought about?" Zhan Xiaoyi couldn't stand the words of others the most: "If you want to ask, just ask!" ”

"Have you ever thought that maybe between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao, they can coexist without a war?" "Le Lang" said the question in his heart in one breath.

Zhan Xiaoyi didn't think about it, and immediately replied to "him": "Impossible!" ”

"Le Lang" ignored his answer and continued: "Even, is it possible...... Without a war, the two countries merge into one? ”

"Whimsical!"

Zhan Xiaoyi's gravity put the teacup aside, the porcelain touched the tabletop, and he waved his fingers, which was his habit when he was excited: "There are only two possibilities for the two countries to merge into one country - either the Great Liao is defeated, and we all become Song people; Either the Song State is defeated, and you all become Liao! ”

"You want war so much, if it does break out, what position will you stand on? Your father is from Liao, and your mother is from Song...... It is in your best interest that the two countries do not go to war. "Le Lang" also put down the teacup, looked at him with his cheeks on his cheeks, and asked puzzledly.

"It's not that I want to fight, but this war will happen eventually, and it won't change because of your and my hopes!"

Zhan Xiaoyi has always been firm on this point.

"Le Lang" was not impatient with him, and said slowly: "I think there is a situation that can make the two countries unable to fight. ”

"Hmph," Zhan Xiaoyi snorted coldly: "Then you can talk about it." ”

"If the two countries have always been evenly matched, and you have me and I have you, then we can't fight." "Lelang," Ying Ying said with a smile.

Zhan Xiaoyi was stunned: "I understand the evenly matched, but what is you with me, I with you?" ”

"The economies of the two countries are interdependent."

"Economy?"

"Hmm," "Le Lang" pondered for a moment, and patiently gave an example: "Think about it, the sweaters we are going to produce and sell need wool from Da Liao, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhan Xiaoyi didn't understand.

"Wool yarn has to be spun, sweaters have to be knitted, this requires the skilled craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, right?" "Le Lang" guided Zhan Xiaoyi to think step by step.

Zhan Xiaoyi thought about it and nodded slightly.

Indeed, in terms of skilled craftsmen, the Song State is more powerful than that of Da Liao.

"For another example, after these sweaters are made, they will not be sold in Daliao alone, and there will be surpluses just for sale in Da Song. Therefore, it must have been sold in both Song and Liao. ”

"That's right." Zhan Xiaoyi nodded again.

"Le Lang" finally got to the point: "What if...... There are enough people who make a living by growing wool and knitting sweaters, and if the two countries go to war, it will inevitably affect their livelihoods - the two countries are at war, and the wool of the Great Liao will definitely not be allowed to be shipped to the Great Song Dynasty, and the sweaters of the Great Song Dynasty will not be sold to the Great Liao. ”

"Yes, indeed."

"In this case, these people must not want to fight. The more people who don't want to fight, the less likely it is that there will be a war as you say. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi felt that what "he" said was not unreasonable.

However, on second thought, his brow furrowed even more than before.

"If you keep watching out of each other like this, and you can't make a move, then I'd rather fight a fight!"

He turned his head sharply to look at "Le Lang" and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Le Lang" was probably in a good mood that day, and he didn't give up yet, and continued to persuade: "Brother Zhan, where are you talking to me now?" ”

"Song Yu, what kind of problem are you ......" Zhan Xiaoyi was about to ridicule "him", he was stunned, and thought that the other party was squeezing him, so he pouted and said angrily: "I also want to talk to you about Liao, but do you understand?" ”

"I don't understand," "Le Lang" patted Zhan Xiaoyi's shoulder and signaled him to be less restless: "Let me ask you again, are there many people in Liao who know Song language?" ”

Although Zhan Xiaoyi was not angry, he finally said calmly: "A lot." ”

"There are a lot of people who know Song Wen, right?"

"Hmm." Zhan Xiaoyi replied reluctantly: "It's not a lot." ”

Isn't it a lot?

Not only the official families, noble children, and civil and military officials of the Great Liao are all familiar with Song Wen. What's more, the official official documents of the Great Liao, the imperial edicts, and all the documents of the Great Song and Western Xia were all in Chinese.

In addition, the interpretations and writings of Buddhist scriptures, the scientific examinations of scholars, and the poetry collections of Khitan writers are also in Chinese.

"Le Lang" asked again: "When you measure, do you use 'centimeter', 'minute', 'inch', 'ruler', 'zhang', 'lead'? ”

Zhan Xiaoyi replied to him: "Like you, ten centimeters is one point, ten inches is one inch, and ten inches is one foot......"

"Le Lang" interrupted him and asked, "What about the weighing?" 'Stone', 'bucket', 'rise'? ”

"Exactly."

"'One law is a ruler, the car is on the same track, and the book is the same as the text', I really don't understand, what is the difference between the Song and the Liao?"

"Of course there is a difference!"

Zhan Xiaoyi immediately refuted him, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.

yes.

What's the difference?

"We're dressed differently than you."

Zhan Xiaoyi barely thought of a little.

"Le Lang" looked at his clothes, and also looked at Zhan Xiaoyi's clothes: "What's the difference?" ”

"Of course I wear the same clothes as you in the Song Kingdom, but I don't dress like this in the Liao Kingdom."

"Then is your dress very weird in the Liao Kingdom?" "Lelang" asked him.

Zhan Xiaoyi was stunned, unconsciously lowered his voice, and said: "Actually, it is also very common, and there are even many princes and grandsons in Beijing who will wear the clothes of the Song Kingdom. ”

"Le Lang" no longer asked him.

Zhan Xiaoyi thought of another point: "We Liao people are hairy. ”

"And you're getting hair now?"

"I'm in the Song Kingdom, of course I don't have hair, but I ......"

When he said this, he couldn't go on.

……

- "Uncle Techira? ”

Yeluli's call brought Zhan Xiaoyi back to his senses.
