No matter how the Western Xia and the Liao Dynasty contradicted, the sea salt of the Great Song Dynasty has become an important import for the two countries, and the news circulating in the Tokyo City of the Great Song Dynasty will be known to the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia people within three days.

Of course, there are some smoke bombs in it.

The effect of sea salt is naturally somewhat distorted after circulation, but the news that it can prevent gall disease is accurate, which is the only one that has been personally affirmed by the great Song Dynasty divine doctor king, and it is clear in many medical books of the Great Song Dynasty, since the Great Song Dynasty dares to write the efficacy of sea salt into the medical book, then there must be no mistake.

The Western Xia and Liao dynasties took it for granted that only sea salt produced in the Great Song Dynasty could cure gall, and Zhao Zhen lamented the backward medicine of these nomads, and the main means of dealing with gall was not sea salt, but the iodine contained in sea salt.

The efficacy of sea salt was extremely exaggerated, perhaps because the merchants wanted to increase the price of sea salt, or maybe the people who bought it in order to show their superiority.

Li Yuanhao scoffed at this statement, if the sea salt of the Great Song Dynasty was really so godly, would it still be sold to the Western Xia and Liao Dynasty?

This is obviously fooling people, what Li Yuanhao saw was not the curative effect of sea salt, but the price of its expensive death, and there were green salt from Western Xia and sea salt from the Great Song Dynasty on the several cases in front of him, and there was only a difference in color between the two.

Li Yuanhao tapped it with the tip of his finger and tasted it, the taste of both was so salty, it seemed that there was no difference at all.

Touching his head, Li Yuanhao said to Yeli Renrong on the side: "Father Shang, you taste it, this sea salt is no different from green salt!" The Song people boasted this thing so godly, it really doesn't make sense! ”

Yeli Renrong said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the biggest difference between the two is reputation, even if the sea salt of the Song people can really prevent gall, what is the use?" The appearance of galls is very rare, even if there is no such thing as sea salt, how many galls will appear in my Western Xia? But once Haiyan has this gimmick, it will be much more expensive in price, and the Great Song Dynasty will replace my Xixia as the supplier of salt, and I am afraid that the wealth of my Xixia will not last long. ”

Li Yuanhao smiled: "Father Shang usually teaches me, the emperor should be magnanimous, how can he care about a little property." ”

Yeli Renrong looked at Li Yuanhao's indifferent smile and smiled slightly bitterly: "Your Majesty, you still don't know the secret, since Your Majesty ascended the throne and became emperor, although the Great Song Dynasty has not closed the field, the prices of goods in the field have risen a lot. ”

Li Yuanhao blew away two small piles of salt, forming a cloud of dust in the air, looked up and forgot to glance at Yeli Renrong and said, "Oh? So what! I led my Western Xia boy to conquer the countries of the Western Regions, and the wealth I brought back alone exhausted hundreds of horses! ”

Yeli Renrong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's military exploits and the wealth of the Western Regions are naturally one in ten thousand, but the water drop stone sits through the mountains and eats the sky. ”

After speaking, Yeli Renrong sent the accounts to Li Yuanhao and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the account of the transaction between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, my Western Xia has nothing to sell to the Great Song Dynasty, there was originally a green salt, but now even the green salt is not cared for, every year it is my Western Xia who buys the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty almost do not buy my Western Xia goods. ”

Li Yuanhao raised his eyes and looked at the account book: "What does it matter, it's just some property, don't we still have spices like cumin that can be sold to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Yeli Renrong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't say that these spices are okay, as long as I raise the price of spices in Western Xia, the Song people will resolutely not buy them, and they would rather buy spices from Dashi thousands of miles away than buy my Western Xia." ”

Li Yuanhao doesn't care about money, in his opinion, as long as he has a warrior in his hand, he will have anything, and his eyes flashed: "Let the Great Song Dynasty be proud for a while, my Western Xia has no money, so I will naturally wave my army to the south, and his Great Song Dynasty's wealth is for my Western Xia warriors!" ”

Yeli Renrong was shocked and said, "Your Majesty! Now that our Western Xia has established a state, this means that we cannot go to the Great Song Dynasty to plunder as before, once this is done, it will arouse the anger of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that the two countries will be at war at that time. ”

Li Yuanhao sneered: "Fighting? I'm not afraid, don't forget, my Xixia was built from suffering, even if the result is bad, how bad can it be? Look at the current party aristocracy, enjoy the sound of dogs and horses all day long, and linger in the gentle country. These are all money harms, why did I ask you to create a text that belongs to Western Xia? Why don't I care about the squeezing of the Great Song Dynasty? Only by forcing the Western Xia into a desperate situation can there be a breakthrough, which is the Han people's unbroken and unbroken! ”

Yeli Renrong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to have such a plan, first put Xixia to death, and then break out of the cocoon!

"What is Your Majesty's plan?"

Li Yuanhao smiled: "Without him, it's easy to shave your hair!" ”

Yeli Renrong listened to his words for a long time and remained silent, shaving his hair and making it easy to obey this is the most effective means to resist the assimilation of the Central Plains Dynasty, not to mention inventing his own language, the Western Xia has its own language but no writing, until now the Western Xia still uses Chinese characters as its own language, His Majesty does this with the intention of completely separating from the Great Song Dynasty.

……

In March, the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao issued a "bald order" to the party tribes in the territory, and he took the lead in baldness, that is, shaving the top of his head, wearing heavy rings on his ears, which was the original custom of the party clan, and there were many party nobles at the beginning, but when Li Yuanhao personally killed two nobles with a loose attitude in the main hall of Xingqing Mansion, the party and the people competed for baldness.

The entire tribe was to be executed for a period of three days, and those who did not comply were to be executed on the street.

Li Yuanhao wore a white narrow shirt, a felt crown with a red lining, and a red ribbon hanging from the crown, and officials were dressed according to their ranks. The common people are only allowed to wear turquoise clothes, so as not to be expensive or cheap.

In Chinese history, when the nomads established a state, they inevitably began to imitate and approach the Central Plains Dynasty, and finally gradually, involuntarily, they were assimilated into the same model as the Central Plains Dynasty.

In Li Yuanhao's view, as long as sinicization begins to appear, the whole country will be brought into a strange circle, a strange circle that begins to enjoy happiness, no matter how high the original ambition will be wiped out, and begin to enjoy happiness.

This is the last thing Li Yuanhao wants to see, he wants to maintain the party's learning, the party's language, and the party's toughness.

Just when Li Yuanhao made a move, Zhao Zhen also started his plan, and the Great Song Dynasty began another military exercise, the location was still near Shizipu, and the ten-mile company camp was magnificent, which made the Liao people tremble.

Li Yuanhao sneered slightly at the information from the Great Song Dynasty: "The Song people have begun to show off their strength again, this is not for the Liao people, but for me to show the Western Xia!" I'm not afraid of such demonstrations! ”

He thought that this was a series of changes and demonstrations by the Great Song Dynasty to Western Xia, but in fact, this was not the case at all, and Zhao Zhen's second military exercise was already on his schedule...... In Zhao Zhen's heart, he never regarded Western Xia as the greatest threat to the Great Song Dynasty.
