agreed with Zhao Gou's rule, obediently obeyed, and handed over a part of Ding Zhuang to form an army to serve Zhao Gou. As long as these three points can be achieved, these tribes south of Yinshan Mountain can get everything they want now!

It is these three very simple conditions, Zhao Gou does not need them to break up their own tribes and completely organize the households; There is no need for them to give up the power in their hands, obediently be pigs, and they will not even send officials into every ministry.

You must know that the Khitans have established a perfect system during their 200 years of rule. The early tribal leaders still had tribal rights to a certain extent, but with the change of their titles from "Yi Li Jin" to "Ling Wen", and from "Ling Wen" to "Jiedu Envoy", the meaning of those tribal leaders has changed dramatically.

This can be said to be a process of centralization within the Khitan, and the tribal leader, the leader of the tribe, has become an official title today, rather than a private authority that can be inherited by the father and the son.

The tribes also became a kind of administrative unit in a sense, like the state capital of the Han region, even if they were still nomadic people.

Zong Ze's promise not to send officials is tantamount to acknowledging the status they now have, which is not a simple sentence to maintain the status quo, but is tantamount to delegating power to them, so that they can greatly consolidate their authority in the 'clan'. This is called every stanza to make all smiles.

The superiority of the conditions was completely beyond their imagination, and some of the knots did not even believe what they were hearing.

Especially when I heard the wool trade that Zong Ze then mentioned.

It is really surprising and surprising that the Han people, who have always only focused on cattle and sheep, leather, and horns and horns, have now put away their wool. For them, wool is almost useless except for making felt, although the technology of wool spinning has always existed, and even the latter has a certain scale in the Song and Western Xia realms, but the Khitan people have no wool spinning in their minds at all, they only need felt.

Because the former is too troublesome. The latter, on the other hand, is very simple and easy to understand.

Felt is to add water to wool and cashmere, roll it repeatedly, and bond the coarse wool and fluff together to become felt, commonly known as 'rolling felt'. Rolling felt is similar to rolling dough, and the tool only requires a wooden stick. The production process is simple and crude enough that an idiot can do it, but it is very versatile, and the use value is better than that of a blanket.

The four walls and the roof of the Khitan tent are covered with felt, that is, the frame is first made of wood, and then the entire tent is covered with felt.

For the steppe peoples in the nomadic environment, this simple and easy felt was obviously much more practical than the cumbersome wool weaving.

The herdsmen at the bottom use a piece of cow and sheep skin and a piece of felt to shelter from the wind and cold in winter, and the effect is not generally good.

Therefore, the Khitan was very strict in the control and management of felt, and had repeatedly ordered the prohibition of felt from entering the Song Dynasty.

But in fact, the Han people have very little demand for it, because not many people can stand the strong smell. You must know that even the low-priced wool felt of later generations will inevitably have a strong fishy smell, and in this era, especially in the hands of the Khitan people, it is strange that the felt has no fishy smell.

The Khitan people have developed animal husbandry, and the wool wool produced by each tribe every year is not at all consumed by their own needs. In the past, they could only throw away the wool at will, but now the Han people suddenly came to collect the wool, and even though the chiefs could immediately determine that the wool trade must be profitable, they were still very happy.

It's a great joy to get money for something worthless. It is the ability of the Han people to make money with wool, and they only have enough money to make wool.

"The Meigu Sibu led by the villain can send 300 warriors to serve His Royal Highness King Yan, and the villain hopes to borrow 20,000 yuan......"

"Jie's troops can send out five hundred warriors to follow the king. We are still rich in materials, and we don't lend money......"

"We hid the Tang Gu Department and sent 600 warriors to fight the fire for the king,......"

Zong Ze gave the Jiedu envoys in front of him an hour to think, but in fact, he didn't even wait for a quarter of an hour, and a group of people had already surrounded him.

There are still a few wealthy tribes like Jie's tribe, but the vast majority of them are poor ghosts like the Meigu tribe.

They used the money they borrowed to buy grain, salt, tea, and medicinal herbs, and to arm their tribes as much as possible, so that they could survive the harsh winter.

As long as they can do this, they can even have the authority of a true leader in the clan.

Although they could only acquiesce to the price given by Zong Ze when they bought supplies, just like the 10,000 stone relief and compressed military rations given by Zong Ze could actually be used for 20,000 or 30,000 stones, the money they borrowed from Zong Ze's palm could only be used for two or three times.

But this is enough to win the gratitude of the envoys of the festival.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, they were able to receive unexpected assistance, even if it was with some strings attached, it saved too many of their lives.

The Khitan is finished, but the Khitan people are not willing to die, and the number of clansmen is even what they rely on when they mix in the officialdom in the Zhao and Song dynasties in the future.

Don't think that the starving steppe herders will obediently wait for death in their tents, and when despair comes, that's when war breaks out between these tribes. They will pick up the knife in their hands before they are starved to death, and win the last shred of life for themselves.

Or else? To count on the party or the Jurchens?

In this way, after a long and cold winter, some tribes south of Yinshan Mountain will inevitably be completely annihilated in the blizzard.

For the tribes of the grassland, such a scene is all too familiar and too common.

Since the Jurchen rebellion, the Khitan national strength is not as good as day by day. Not to mention the endless prairie, even in Han County, Hanzhou, Nanjing and Xijing, there are countless refugees and displaced people, and I don't know how many lives will be wiped out in a long winter.

And they who live under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Road Recruitment Division, it is natural that they have a lot of fights with each other, all just to live.

This year is no different.

Just like last year, the Jurchens only took their cattle and sheep when the horses were fat in the autumn, but ignored them when the snow was falling. Sit back and watch the tribes disappear in the wind and snow, and watch the lives disappear in the cold.

The more they died, the happier the Jurchens became.

But even so, they did not dare to rebel against the gold. Because of the absolute difference in strength between the two sides, it is clear to all the Jiedu envoys - if they rebel, they are sending them to death!

Zhao Gou rushed into Yanyun at an excellent point in time. When these tribes, including the Han'er of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, had not forgotten their deep hatred with the Jurchens, they drove out the Jin people and replaced them themselves. He is no longer an intruder, not a treacherous villain like the Song army before him. Rather, it is an image of the "king of benevolence" who saves them. This really provided great convenience for him to win over the hearts of the people in the Northland......
