Chapter 34: The Shortest Path, the Far Reach, and the Root of the Chaos (I)

The winters of Daliao are cruel and desolate at the same time.

In the clairvoyant lens in Yelu Yixin's hand, there are only large chunks of white, and scattered gray and black, and there is no moving creature in sight.

But no matter how cruel and desolate, this is his territory.

Heaven and earth are boundless, and the land of Daliao is beyond the boundary.

The sons hunted here, and the vassals bent down and walked into the royal tent belonging to his Yelu Yixin.

After a lifetime of hard work, the farmer is lucky enough to save 100 acres of land, the herdsman has a few hundred sheep at most, the craftsman gets a workshop, and the official is a nobleman, and he can probably get a military state under the head and a little affection in front of the emperor.

Like yourself, with a lifetime to get a country with a territory of thousands of miles, what kind of life is more fulfilling?

Yelu Yixin couldn't think of it, and he didn't think it would be.

Even if the land is nowhere near as rich as its southern neighbors.

Yelu Yixin knew very well that if he had been in the south, he would not have achieved what he has achieved in his life. is like the young prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, even if he has the wealth of heaven and the hearts of the military and the people, he doesn't want to kill the king and usurp the throne in his life, and after the little emperor takes the government, it is difficult to have a good end.

It's a pity that such talent. At that time, Yelu Yixin also heard that the prime minister in the south planned to live and gather for ten years, and after his death, Liao was in turmoil, and then took the opportunity to go north. Now let's see, which side is the one that is in the next ten years?

Yelu Yixin has been less and less worried about the south in the past two years, the Song lord is weak and the minister is strong, this situation of civil strife is obvious, Yelu Yixin has experienced such a situation back then, and both sides must have a fall before there will be a stable ending.

If the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty loses in the future, will he leave a piece of land here? It would be worth sending him ten or eight heads to the military stateβ€”as long as he didn't think it was too desolate.

Yelu Yixin knew what the other party would think, for the people of the Southern Dynasty who had lived in Tokyo for a long time, even the most prosperous Xijin Mansion was desolate, not to mention the mountains and forests and grasslands on the banks of the Duck River or the Linhuang Mansion.

I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've just heard people describe it, and it's really hard for Yelu Yixin to imagine what it looks like to have five layers of city walls, including the palace city and the imperial city, and the outermost city wall even has hundreds of miles long. But one thing is certain, the city of Tokyo in the Song Kingdom is by no means comparable to any city in the Great Liao Kingdom.

There is no need to expect the people of the Southern Dynasty to appreciate the boundlessness and insolence of this unique oneself as much as they do.

But being too desolate is not a good thing, at least not good news for the hunt.

"Can you still catch prey here?"

Yelu Yixin put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, turned sideways, and asked the master of the Wanyan Department behind him.

"If you avoid it, since the beginning of autumn, the villain has sealed this mountain forest and prevented people from going in to hunt and collect medicine. After raising it for half a year, I want a roe deer to have a roe deer, and a wild boar to have a wild boar. Even tigers and bears are also there. ”

Wan Yan replied respectfully.

The lord of the Wanyan Department, between the white mountains and black waters, everyone respectfully called the Taishi but not the nameless Wanyan Impeachment Bowl, standing in front of the Great Liao Emperor, the humility and deference revealed between his eyebrows were completely unimaginable behind his subordinates.

But even if they see it, they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

The emperor of Da Liao is not overstated. In particular, an emperor like Yelu Yixin, who took a lot of care and trust in the female straight people, was widely revered among the female straight departments.

Yelu Yixin said to Wanyan impeachment: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four o'clock bowl, and your side is the most worry-free." In a few other places, it is always unbearable. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't the place to make a bowl not very good? The villain has heard people say that if you are too close to the sea, you will be blown by the wind a lot, and you will be prone to bone pain. ”

Wanyan's impeachment was straightforward, but it was full of concern.

"Pingzhou is a good place, it's not bad to rest in winter, but the north and south sides are in a panic."

"The last time Ah Gu came back, he also said that it was a big trouble, and he kept watch from morning to night, and he didn't know why he had so much to say. He himself was too tired to do it, so he was worried about whether His Majesty would be tired. ”

Khitan is nomadic for a living, after the establishment of the country, did not change the law of nomadism, the lord of the Liao State every year according to the season to tour the Quartet, the four o'clock in the place called the bowl.

In the past, the position of the four-hour bowl was generally fixed and lasted for more than 100 years. However, after Yelu Yixin ascended the throne, he quickly changed the position of the bowl to adapt to the changes in the country.

Xia Bao, in Mandarin Ducks, maintained the pressure on the Song people; The autumn bowl is outside the Linhuang Mansion; The winter bowl was placed in Pingzhou, near the sea, as close as possible to his financial and taxation center.

Only the position of the spring bowl remains the same, in order to better control the female straight, the head fish banquet held on the bank of the duck river, Yelu Yixin can not give up.

Among them, the bowl in summer and winter is the day when the two important ministers of the northern and southern parts of the Liao State, that is, the Khitan officials and the Han officials, two different bureaucratic systems, get together to discuss the major policies of the country.

At this time, Yelu Yixin has to have a headache for a long time to mediate the quarrel lawsuit on both sides, and he is really panicked. At that time, he began to rejoice, fortunately the Song people stopped the New Year's coin, otherwise he would have been arguing for a longer time with these benefits.

When I turned to the side of the Duck River, the situation was much better, although the female straight person was noisy, but it was not noisy, and talking was also worry-free.

A reckless person like Wanyan impeachment can't even say flattering words, and I don't know how much worry it will save when dealing with such a person.

"Tired is tired, but you can't let others get tired." Yelu Yixin pinched the clairvoyant mirror and said with a smile.

Impeachment nodded for a while, "Yes, yes, of course Your Majesty is right." ”

"Alright, let's go back first." Jeruyisin turned and walked back.

Descending this hillside, a little farther away is where the bowl is. It has changed from the desolation of the mountains and forests far away in the north, and it is extremely noisy. The golden tent in the center glistens in the sunlight and reflects the brilliant light.

After coming out and taking a walk, Yelu Yixin was in a good mood, and said to Wanyan Impeachment Bowl very generously, "This preparation for the hunt, you have done a good job in impeachment." If you want a reward, just say it. ”

"Don't dare to ask Your Majesty for anything else, originally there was a shortage of food in the clan in winter, and some old horses were killed, but now after the fish feast, you can fish, cast a few more nets, and you can fill your stomach, but there is nothing to worry about." It's looking forward to His Majesty sending a few more medical officers, since the beginning of the pox, there are more and more cubs in the clan, Ah Guda said that it is the second in line, in fact, the dead are counted, and they have to be ranked fifth, and now there can be so many little cubs, all of which are the kindness of His Majesty. It's just that in this way, there are too many old and weak people in the villain's department, and there are many diseases, so I hope that a medical officer can diagnose and treat them. ”

There are more doctors and more herbs needed. But there is a whole Changbai Mountain's specialty, what kind of medicinal materials are needed, Wanyan can exchange it with its own specialty. The only thing that is urgently needed is doctors.

Yelu Yixin frowned, thinking back to his previous memory, "I seem to have heard someone say, you killed five or six great witches in the clan in the first two months. Is it because of this that there is a shortage of medical officers? ”

After Yan impeached, he immediately snorted angrily, "Those shamans usually dance and sing, fiddle with some bark and grass roots, and they don't see a few people saved." The doctor who said that the pox doctor had committed a taboo, and he had to fast and worship God for half a month. The villain thought that he had offended the medical officer sent by His Majesty, so he cut it down. There is no medical officer sent by His Majesty every year, and the clan does not know how many cubs will die. ”

Even the Han Chinese have the so-called Zhu Yuke, which uses witchcraft to heal people. The other tribes in the Great Liao Kingdom have no shortage of witches who can communicate with ghosts and gods. In the past, these shamans all worked part-time in medical work. It was not until the advanced medicine of the Song Kingdom came that the effects of the pox method and the health system were effectively verified in the Liao State that witchcraft withdrew from the medical profession.

However, in a remote tribe like Nuzhi, the sorcerer still occupies the position of physician, and at the same time has a huge say in the affairs of the clan. It's just that the younger brother and son of the impeachment of Libo have close ties with the Great Liao court, and they no longer fear and believe in the tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts, so they will cut off the heads of five or six big witches so simply.

"It's a shame that you can do it. Anyway, it's still useful. ”

Even if he followed the example of the Song people to set up medicine, hospitals, and Qin Tianjian, Yelu Yixin did not say that he had cut down all the witches. As long as they don't spread rumors to confuse the public, keeping them can also play a role in picking up the missing pieces. Most of the witches have one or two secret recipes, and they can't tell when they will be able to use them.

Wan Yan impeached Libo replied very simply, "Whoever offends His Majesty deserves to die." ”

"Alright, alright. I know you're faithful. Yelu Yixin smiled happily, "How many medical officers do you want?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yan said, "...... With the villain's mind, of course, the more the merrier. But there are really not many medical officers who are willing to come to the Northland, and the villain does not dare to force it, and it is enough to have six or seven people. ”

"Six or seven? How many of those great witches? Yelu Yixin smiled again, smiling heartily, "I will give you ten people, and some medicinal materials from the Southern Dynasty." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

After Yan was impeached, he was overjoyed and immediately bowed down to thanksgiving.

"Of course, you know the rules." Yelu Yixin reminded.

"The corpses of the clan are to be given to the medical officers for dissection before being buried. The villain understands, and His Majesty can rest assured. ”

"It's good if you remember." Yelu Yixin nodded, only in this way can the medical skills of the Chinese medicine officials catch up with their counterparts in the south. At least surgically.

The Han people value the corpses, and the Khitans and the female straight people also value it, but when it comes to choosing between the corpses and the living, the Khitan and the female straight, who are regarded as barbarians by the Han people, do not have so many taboos.

Get on your horse down the hillside and head all the way back to the royal tent.

After Yan impeached the bowl and retreated, Zhang Xiaojie, who was waiting in front of the tent, frowned tightly, stared at the head of the Yan department and retreated.

Without waiting for the curtain to fall, Zhang Xiaojie immediately turned around and stepped forward, "Your Majesty." ”

Yelu Yixin restrained his smile, and changed from an idle and leisurely old man to a king who held thousands of miles of territory, "What, you have to tell me that Yanbu's power is too great?" ”
