Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Eve of the Little Qilin's Return to the South

In the first year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, in the third year of Jin Tianfu, Jinmen ushered in the fourth trading peak after the opening of the port.

Although the rumors in the spring that the Seven Generals were incapable of certain aspects caused a great sensation in Jinmen, this talk was obviously taboo by the authorities and the supporters of Yang Yingqi among the people, so after a period of trouble, it entered a low ebb. With the arrival of the monsoon, the attention of the entire Jinmen has also turned to the attention of the whole Jinmen - the huge energy tide has swept everyone in, who has time to pay attention to the gossip that has little to do with them? For the small people of Shengdou, it is still hard to make money.

To the north, Daikin's country is becoming more and more stable, and the non-Jurchen tribes north of Tokyo have been harassed by Meng'an Mou restraint before, but with the promulgation of a series of recuperation decrees by Aguta, this harassment has been significantly reduced, and the stimulation of commerce in southern Liaoning has given the private economy under the rule of Tokyo Province a chance to breathe and develop. The Han merchants went deep into Dajin under the banner of the horse lord, bringing tea and salt to the ordinary people of the northern country, and also bringing luxury goods produced by the Great Song Dynasty and Jinmen to the Haoqiang of Dajin. Correspondingly, coal and iron from Anshan, mountain goods from Changbai Mountain, and horses from the Northland ethnic groups were transported to Liaokou and Jinmen. This economic flow was beneficial to all the Daikin tribes, so the rulers of Huining did not find anything wrong with it. It's just that the use of Song money and imitation Song money and the passage of the Han dialect are becoming more and more common, and the lifestyle similar to the Han Dynasty is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but this subtle benign influence has not caused the disgust of the Jurchen Haoqiang in the short term.

In the south, the route from Quanzhou and Mingzhou to Jinmen is becoming more and more mature. The Great Song Dynasty's "Tui En Policy" against the Jin State made businessmen in Jiangdong and Fujian more at ease, and many smuggling ships that were originally sneaky were also guided. The fleets of ships traveling from south to north were getting larger and larger, and in addition to buying and selling goods such as tea and horses, ceramics, etc., they also carried an innumerable number of immigrants. However, as the influence of tyranny such as Huashigang became deeper and deeper, and the people in the southeast became increasingly impoverished, Lin Ling and others did not know how long this kind of superficial prosperity brought about by the rise of Jinmen could last.

In the west, after Wang Shizhong overthrew Zong Ze and regained control of Dengzhou, the prosperity of the entire Qingyang port became even more severe than before. The small port handles cargo not only over most of Jingdong East Road, but also on Jingxi West Road, Hebei East Road and Huainan East Road. The further use of vehicles and ships, the invention of canvas, and the establishment of lighthouses on the Bohai Islands led to almost uninterrupted communication between the port of Qingyang and Jinmen, which began to change from a thriving port to a thriving port all year round.

However, people of insight can see that the economic prosperity of Jinmen actually depends on the afterglow of the Great Song Dynasty economy, and if the Han Ministry has not established a relatively complete economic system before this afterglow disappears, then the financial situation of the Han Dynasty will be very troublesome.

After the peak trading season passed, Jinmen returned to calm. Although the opening of Qingyang Port has made the trade of Tianjin continuous in all seasons, compared with the noisy scene when the monsoon comes, the just right prosperity of the Liaodong Peninsula in autumn and winter is more comfortable: because in this season, a large number of merchants are gone, but the grain in the fields is ripe! In an era of worldwide food shortages, the autumn harvest is more exciting than making a fortune - because it is the basic guarantee of survival.

However, this year, there is something that makes the old people of the Han Department even happier than the autumn harvest: their seven generals are coming back!

"Lord of the Kingdom! I can't stay any longer! In the palace of Huining, Yang Yingqi cried with a sad face and said to Ah Gu: "The whole Huining...... The whole Huining is laughing at me! ”

Ah Guda frowned and said, "Who dares!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "They don't dare in front of you, but when you are not there, they are all laughing at me!" Even if they don't laugh in their mouths, they laugh in their hearts! ”

Ah Gu sighed, "You think too much. ”

"Where am I thinking too much? They look at me very differently! ”

Ah Guda shook his head and said, "I can't arrest them for this, can I?" ”

"That'...... That ......"

"Forget it." "You've been in Huining long enough. Originally, I asked you to come this time to make you a senior official of the imperial court, but now it seems that it is difficult for you to stay here, so go back to Jinmen. ”

"Huijinmen...... There may not be so many rumors there, but can I ask you for something? ”

"What's the matter?"

Yang Yingqi gritted his teeth and said: "You give me the power of life and death, whoever dares to laugh at me in front of me will kill whoever I want!" As long as you kill the first one or two, the people below will not dare to say anything - this is called killing chickens and making an example of monkeys! ”

Ah Guda's brows furrowed again: "Killing people is too serious." In this way, if any clan dares to laugh at you in the future, you will slap his mouth! As for the civilians, you are at your disposal. ”

Yang Yingqi was overjoyed, and Ah Guda said again: "After you arrive at Jinmen, let Yan rush back, I have something important to discuss with him." ”

Yang Yingqi asked, "Has the lord finally decided to attack Da Liao?" ”

Ah Gu smiled and said, "What did Yan Chong tell you? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Long-distance friendship and close attack are the best strategy for attacking, not to mention that the Khitan is our great enemy!" We have also rested enough in the past two years, and attacking Daliao is something that 'should have been like this'! People who are not too stupid and dull can guess where to ask the eldest brother to come to me. ”

"Oh?" Ah Gu said: "If you say so, there should be people in the Khitan tribe who should also see this?" ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "There must be people who see this, but whether Yelu Yanxi will listen to that guy is another matter." I heard that there are now rebellions in Daliao, but he still hunts everywhere and doesn't take the loss of half of the country seriously at all. ”

Ah Guda smiled and said, "You're also quite well-informed." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I heard about it from the Minister of State. ”

"Where is the Prime Minister?" A Gu Taqi said: "The prime minister is coming to Huining again? When? How did I not know? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It's not the Minister of State who came to Huining, it's me who went to him a few days ago to avoid rumors." Who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I would see Uncle Urus, this old disrespectful fellow! Isn't mentioning that incident as soon as we meet rubbing salt into my wounds? Hum! As soon as he looked up and saw that Ah Guda seemed to be tired of this topic, he said no more, said goodbye and prepared to go out, and before leaving, he turned back and said, "My lord, there is something I don't know if you know. ”

"What's the matter?"

Yang Yingqi said: "This time I went to the prime minister, and I saw that his old man was not very good-looking, so I was afraid that he would ...... If you have time, you'd better check him out. ”

Ah Guta's face changed and asked, "Is the prime minister sick again?" Why don't you come and tell me! ”

"It's not sickness, it's fatigue." Yang Yingqi said: "The prime minister is also getting older, but he seems to have used too much in the past two years, so the gray hair on his body has increased very quickly." Our big gold is located in a bitter cold place, and it is difficult to endure winter. Although I have already sent a good doctor to see a doctor, I ...... In short, if you have time, you can go and see it. ”

Ah Gu nodded and said, "Okay." I'll go tomorrow. Holding his chin with one hand, his face was full of melancholy.
