Accompanying the King of Boryeong was a group of envoys of more than a dozen people, preparing to go to sea from the East Sea Port to meet the Khitan lord and ask for a mutual market.

The Khitan traded with the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue, and it was often the Khitan who sent tens of thousands of sheep and hundreds of horses in exchange for cloth, tea and medicinal materials from the Tang and Wu Yue.

The trade between the two sides can only be by sea, and most of them belong to official trade.

However, since the East China Sea gradually became a trading port, some Arab merchants saw an opportunity to trade goods from the East China Sea to Suzhou, the Khitan city, which later became Dalian Jinzhou, to conduct mutual trading activities.

Yelujing, the lord of the Khitan state, was tyrannical, extremely cruel to his close servants, and often tortured and killed indiscriminately, but on the other hand, he repeatedly issued edicts to reduce taxes and pay respects to his subordinates.

I don't know if his minister is enlightened or he is a smart man, there are Arab merchants to trade, he did not lock the pass, but ordered the Dongguan of Suzhou Town to collect ship tax, and at the same time set up a city in front of the Dongguan of the town for Hu merchants and Khitan people to trade, gradually, that area, formed a small market, and was called the East Market by the Khitans.

And the Southern Tang officials, who had not traded with the Khitan for a long time, obviously wanted to buy a good horse because of the war with Wu Yue, so they sent an envoy group again, and Han Xizai, the household servant, was the envoy, which also shows that the Tang lord attached great importance to this envoy to the Khitan.

However, King Boryeong only took Han Xizai's clipper boat on the way, and he didn't want to go to Khitan with him.

……

In the East Harbor, King Boryeong looked at everything fresh, and Lu Ning was also in a good mood, so he took him to play in the tile shop in the port.

Lu Ning was in a good mood because he was very angry with King Baoning, but it was mainly because King Baoning said that a few days later, another 5,000 horses of Shu brocade and 20,000 pieces of money were transported to the East China Sea from the emperor's brother's mansion.

However, King Baoning also smiled and said, That's all, don't use your words to "knock kraft candy", go and ask for it endlessly, Li Congxi and his father, pay you the treasure and silk money, etc., I'm afraid there are 100,000 yuan, almost.

Lu Ning pondered that too, although the emperor's brother's family has a big business, but the expenses are also large, these 100,000 yuan, I am afraid that it will also be smashed and sold iron, Li Congxi, not to mention how to be reprimanded by Lao Tzu.

Speaking of which, although the Southern Tang Dynasty is rich, it is the treasury, and it is only seven or eight million yuan of accumulated money, after all, it is a huge country, and the income and income are astronomical.

However, Lu Ning immediately frowned slightly, didn't he completely offend the emperor's younger brother?

After all, this account will not be recorded on the head of King Boryeong and Lord Tang.

Lord Tang, I'm afraid that it's not just for King Baoning, although he has soft ears and can see things very clearly, from now on, he and the imperial brother can be said to be incompatible.

Now, the Tang lord is afraid that he has already changed his mind, and he doesn't really want to pass on the throne to the imperial brother, so if he can create some opposition for the imperial brother, he will add fuel to the fire?

However, I didn't care about it, unless I worshiped him as the lord under the emperor's brother, otherwise I would offend him sooner or later.

"Donghai Gong, everything is good in your Donghai Port, it's just as bad, you should ban merchants from trading with Khitans, the Khitan people are wolf-like, it's better to have less contact!" When it comes to the Khitans, King Baoning gritted his teeth.

Standing on the pier at this moment, looking at the blue sea and sky in the north, King Boryeong's face was very cold.

Seeing King Baoning so serious for the first time, Lu Ning was slightly stunned: "What does King Baoning say this?" ”

"The northerners are not guilty of killing the Han people, and the Han people are guilty of killing the northerners! Haven't you heard of it? King Boryeong said coldly.

Lu Ning was stunned, his realization of these powerful people is very vague in the concept of foreign races, such as the Southern Tang Dynasty, if he wants to fight against the Zhou State, he will take a long-distance and close attack, hoping to make friends with the Khitan.

However, it is the common people, such as the atomic people in the sixteen states of Youyun, because the Khitan people still adopt a relatively primitive method of rule, and treat the Central Plains people in the sixteen states of Youyun as if they were slaves.

But for the Central Plains regime, who cares about the shouts of the people of Youyun?

It is Zhou, but because it happens to border the Khitan and Northern Han, and Youyun is a rich land, it will raise troops to conquer the Khitan.

It's just that I don't want to, this King of Baoning, has such an opinion of the Khitans.

King Baoning sighed again and said: "The stone of Jin is valuable, although it is a false master, dazed, but he does not want to call the Khitan emperor, the Khitan broke the national capital, forcibly occupied its pseudo-concubines, killed people and set fires, called fighting grass valleys, and doing things like beasts with barbarians, this should be the common humiliation of my Central Plains people, but the sages of Jinling are often used as jokes to make fun of the mediocrity and incompetence of the pseudo-lord of Jin, it is really ......" said, shaking his head again and again.

Lu Ning's eyes also looked at the north.

In later generations, it has always been believed that the nation is united, but when we really return to this historical period, we will understand that before the integration, the struggle between different races was a life-and-death struggle.

If you don't count the Jin Dynasty, the most chaotic dynasty in history, and the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that came from it, the last emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty should be the first emperor in history to be attacked by the barbarians in the Central Plains and capture the emperor and forcibly occupy his concubines.

However, compared to the change in Jingkang more than a hundred years later, that is the real shame.

"Therefore, I strongly disapprove of making friends with the Khitans!" King Baoning looked at the north and said faintly, suddenly, he smiled again, turned around and patted Lu Ning's shoulder, "Don't talk about this, add to the depression!" It's really fun to walk around and play leaf play. In the blink of an eye, he became the gentleman in Jinling City who only knew how to fight cocks and dogs.

Lu Ning smiled, thought for a while and said, "King Baoning, one day, I hope you and I can eat and drink in the Golden Tent in Shangjing!" ”

King Baoning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, I'll be in Jinling, waiting for you, see which day you can come and invite me to Shangjing for a drink!" ”

Lu Ning didn't say anything more, pointed to the tile shop in front of him, and said: "Ye Zi play, it's fun, it's fun, but it's not interesting to watch this military drama, come on, come on, our local military drama is different from what you used to watch, it's called a miscellaneous drama, come on, take you to see it." ”

King Baoning's heart was itchy immediately, and after a few steps, he ran in front of Lu Ning.
