Chapter 631: Back to Mizhou Harbor
The people of the Western Regions Protectorate still embarked on the road to the west, and Yelu Dashi, who was determined not to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, judged the situation after his anger was gone, and chose to form an alliance again and divide Khorezm.
In this way, he would have enough troops and time to deal with the Seljuk Empire.
Khorezm in the east, with its main forces concentrated, was not so easy to fight.
For a long time, the Turks were behemoths that the Khitan could not match, and in the early Tang Dynasty, the eight Khitans added up, and they could only pray for the protection of the Turks.
The alliance between Yelu Dashi and the Song people was very simple, the Great Song Dynasty would not send troops to protect Khorezm, and the Western Regions Protectorate would not enter the land of Khorezm westward, but the Liao people must ensure the smooth flow of this trade route.
Yelu Dashi immediately agreed, the newly established Daliao needed to be developed, and these merchants who connected the east and west would bring high income to their imperial court.
It is the first priority for the Protectorate of the Western Regions to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, and as for the expansion of the territory to the west, it is not expected at present, because the battle line is too long, and some gains outweigh the losses.
After Yelu Dashi conquered so many territories, he did not rush to continue to expand, but exchanged envoys with his neighbors in all directions.
After all, there are still few Liao people, and it is not the time to fight in the army, and it is not too late to fight after ten years.
Now that it has just gained a firm foothold, if it blindly expands, it will inevitably lead to a unanimous crusade from all countries.
Now that the women are really taming the Mongolian tribes, many patriarchs have been beheaded for no reason, and there are Mongolian tribes who can't stand the oppression one after another, and they have fled to Daliao to join their old masters.
Yelu Dashi was overjoyed, gave them the same status as the Khitans, and gave them fertile pastures, incorporated the young and strong men of these tribes into the army, scattered them in various Liao army camps, and strictly forbade Khitan soldiers to discriminate against the Mongols.
The Mongols of several tribes were grateful to Dade and were willing to die for Yelu Dashi.
From the Caucasus Mountains in the north, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and the Caspian Sea in the east, the Great Liao Empire gradually gained a firm foothold.
Yelu Dashi stood in Fuliao City, recalling the hardships at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really more difficult to keep a business than to start a business.
The general trend is here, and there is no unfavorable, smooth sailing, and everything is on the horizon.
Once you fall into the end of the dynasty, you will use all your efforts, and it will be difficult to turn the tide.

In the port of Mizhou, a red shirt is more conspicuous at the port, and the crowd is full of brilliance.
Yang Lin went out on patrol, and Xu Yuenu, who was extremely bored, returned to her mother's house from Bianliang, but she didn't expect to meet Yang Lin by boat from Goryeo to Mizhou Port.
Xu Jin looked at her smiling daughter, who was taller than the men present at that station, heroic and sassy, and couldn't help muttering secretly, this girl in her own family should not inherit the foundation of the old Xu family, why is her younger brother frail and sickly.
Alas, the daughter who gets married has to give birth to a child surnamed Yang early, isn't it cheaper for outsiders.
Xu Yuenu felt her father's gaze, and thought it was the old father's affectionate expression, but she was a little warmly moved while embarrassed, and asked unprecedentedly: "Dad, it's windy here, why don't you go back, Miao'er and I are waiting here." ”
Xu Jin smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. ”
Finally, the sails in the distance showed the horizon, and a group of boats slowly approached, and the people on the shore stepped forward to tiptoe to watch.
Xu Yuenu jumped and waved his hand, regardless of whether the person on the other side could see it or not, and after the ship approached the port, Yang Lin on the deck finally got off the ship.
He looked at Xu Yuenu's familiar figure, a little surprised, and quickly jumped down and said, "Why are you here." ”
"You didn't expect that, did you?" Xu Yuenu's beautiful eyes flowed, smiling smartly, and giggling.
Xu Jin and Xu Zhihui next to him glanced at each other together, and with the welcoming team in a playful manner, they were about to leave.
Yang Lin hurriedly took Xu Yuenu over and greeted him with a smile.
Xu Zhihui also saluted: "Shaozai, the lower officials and others are holding a banquet in the city, I don't know if Shaozai appreciates his face." ”
"Haha, it's all your own people, what are you talking about." After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuenu, and asked, "You go with me?" ”
Xu Yuenu hummed sweetly, seeing that Xu Jin's heart was sour, her daughter was a bully at home, but she didn't expect to be so gentle in front of others.
Banqiao Town, because of its proximity to the Port of Mizhou, has recently become a bustling town.
There are many restaurants on the street, the shops are dense, and people come and go, which is very lively.
Now in late spring and early summer, the warbler flies and the grass grows, the lakes and mountains of the city are in the eye, the pedestrians are weaving, bustling, living like a small Bianliang, can't help but make people feel good.
Especially Yang Lin, who has just seen the poverty of Goryeo, has strengthened his belief that the new deal will be carried out to the end, and the country will be strong if the people are rich.
One of the most luxurious restaurants decorated in it has already prepared wine and food, all of which are seasonal vegetables and sea freshness.
After Yang Lin sat down, Miao'er, who was standing behind him, kept giving him and Xu Yuenu vegetables.
Yang Lin asked: "Governor Xu, send me the official document book of Mizhou in a while, if there are any difficulties in the new policy, you can also spit it out." There is no decree that is perfect from the moment it was issued, that is, it is suitable for all regions, and we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is good to constantly summarize and improve. ”
The Xu family is different now than before, the last time Yang Lin came, he and the Xu family were still in an adversary relationship. Now Yang Lin is the big backer of the Xu family, since his uncle didn't know what method he used, completely reconciled with Yang Shaozai, and returned to this big tree, the career of the Xu family's children has been relatively stable.
reciprocated the favor, Xu Zhihui also riveted his strength, and wanted to run around for Yang Lin's new deal in Mizhou.
In just half a year, he went to almost all the counties in Mizhou, and ruthlessly ran dozens of gentry households, showing no mercy and setting off a storm in Mizhou.
Now when it comes to political achievements, he is not without pride in his heart, and said with a smile: "With the cooperation of good gentry like Xujiazhuang, and the guidance and support of the governor of Shandong Road and the governor of Wen, there are no insurmountable difficulties in Mizhou under the new policy. ”
Yang Lin knew this well, and the envoys he sent from all parties to continuously send information from all over the world to him every day.
This Mizhou is really doing well, it is the state capital of the entire Great Song Dynasty, Yang Lin asked some more about the dock, and Xu Jin had the opportunity to interject, and the head of the talk was the Tao.
Xujiazhuang is no longer short of money, and they are no longer smuggling, and now the process is there, and it is impossible to smuggle as before.
Almost all of Xujiazhuang's energy is devoted to the dock, which is simply a paradise for shipwrights.
Not to mention the high wages, there are also various preferential treatments, and those who have made achievements in the construction of ships can receive a set of houses and can settle down here.
Xu Jin talked eloquently, and Yang Lin's heart was moved, and he couldn't wait to take a look.
While everyone was talking happily, a person came in from the Moon Gate of the small courtyard, bowed his head and said, "Shaozai, Goryeo sent someone to say that 100,000 people have been assembled, and asked if we can send a ship to meet us." ”
Now the area around the Yalu River is the sphere of influence of the Jurchens, Yang Lin nodded and said: "Let the Chenghai Sea Division, day and night, transport them to Tianjin Port." ”
"Also, as long as these people work well, they can take care of food, and they must also be given some service money."
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Yang Lin smiled and said: "The abolition of forced labor is the top priority of the new policy, and these Goryeo people, although they are only vassal subjects, can be regarded as bathed in the imperial grace of our Great Song Dynasty." Let them also feel the spring breeze of the New Deal. ”
With so much labor in Goryeo, there will definitely be a lot of farm work wasted in the country when spring and summer turn over.
This is also a small country based on agriculture, there is no need to make people angry, anyway, it still saves a lot of money. According to the new law of conscription in the Great Song Dynasty, if these people were all conscripted and transferred to the Great Song Dynasty, then the expenses of the imperial court would be large.
Now to work for the imperial court, you have to give money, and you will not get less money after calculation. And with the Goryeo people, as long as they are given a small salary, and then they can take care of the food.
The officials present praised Yang Shaozai's benevolence and righteousness, and he just smiled lightly.
After the banquet was dispersed, Yang Lin came directly to the Xu family's small manor by the sea.
Everything is still the same here, Xu Yuenu pushed open the door, opened the window, and could see the sea below the mountain.
Miao'er happily cleaned back and forth, and Xu Yuenu lay in Yang Lin's arms, listening to him tell interesting stories about Goryeo.
Suddenly, Yang Lin's eyes rolled, looked at Xu Yuenu's towering twin peaks, and said with a smile: "Miao'er, I'll take back that small box, it's my gift to you, hurry up and bring it to me." ”
When Miao'er heard this, she jumped over with the box in her arms, and asked with a smile, "What kind of gift is it?" ”
Yang Lin smiled, and after opening it, it looked like two hairpins.
If you look closely, you can see that they are two clips, and the workmanship is also fine, and the materials are all gold.
Yang Lin stepped forward with a smile, removed their shirts, and looked at the two buds with malicious intent.
Xu Yuenu took a sip, then understood, and said coquettishly: "What kind of obscene things, I don't want them." ”
Miao'er suddenly scratched her armpits, grabbed the young lady's arms from behind, and said with a smile: "Da Lang, I've taken her, come and fix her." ”
Xu Yuenu was angry and ashamed, wanting to struggle, but afraid of hurting her personal maid.
The sea breeze is gentle, and the frolicking sound in the room gradually changes the taste.
