Chapter 32: But looking for the ice coffin to preserve the jade face, and on the wealth of the country and the private monopoly

After concluding an alliance with Yelu Aolu, the king of the Jin Dynasty of Liao, Sanniang discussed with Yang Tinghe, and at that moment Yang Tinghe summoned his brothers to come, and those who were willing to go south packed up, and those who did not want to stay in the north with Zheng Ying and others to inquire about the news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There are dozens of Yang Ting and his heroes are willing to go south together, the owner of the village here has prepared more than a dozen carts, everyone has loaded luggage and some goods, there are always more than ten carts, Sanniang will Liqing's coffin with three ox carts, all ready to stop, only to set off the next day.

Early the next morning, the four watches got up, cooked and ate, Sanniang and others first sent the Jin King Yelu Ao Lu and Lu Jiaoniang and others to leave, and Zheng Ying was responsible for contacting Yelu Ao Lu, and Sanniang instructed Zheng Ying and others to escort Yelu Ao Lu back to Yanjing.

However, it was said that Zheng Ying and others escorted Yelu Ao Lu Hu back to Yanjing, and the Liao State Nanjing stayed behind Yelu Dashi to catch the news, and was immediately overjoyed, and immediately led a group of Yanjing soldiers and civilians to receive Yelu Ao Lu Hu into the city, and supported the King of Jin and proclaimed himself emperor in Yanjing, called Tianxi Emperor, known as Northern Liao in history.

In the history of later generations, Yelu Dashi also did this kind of thing to support the emperor, but he supported Yeluchun, the king of Qin and Jin. With the emperor Yelu Chun, Yelu Dashi can gather the hearts of the Liao army and the people, unify with Yanjing, and defend against the Jurchens together. In history, Yelu Dashi relied on the emperor's call, coupled with his own intelligence, in order to be under the attack of the Song and Jin countries, miraculously held for more than a year, during which he repeatedly defeated the Song army, but then this Yelu Chun was a short-lived ghost, but after sitting on the emperor for more than a year and died, after his death, people were panicked, and Yelu Dashi was unable to return to the sky, so he was forced to flee westward, and finally ran to Central Asia with a group of Khitans to establish the Western Liao Empire.

At this time, only the Jurchen Jin Kingdom went south to attack Yanjing, and the Song State did not send troops to the Liao State because it had not yet suppressed the square La, and this time he was supported as the emperor by the more virtuous Jin King Yelu Aolu, if Yelu Ao Luhu was not a short-lived ghost, I believe that the Northern Liao would definitely be able to support it for a longer time.

Yelu Dashi is the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of Liao, who has been studious since he was a child, can ride and shoot, and is also fluent in Chinese and Khitan languages. In the fifth year of Liao Tianqing, Dashizhong Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy, and served as the Hanlin Chengzhi, he was the only Khitan Jinshi of the Liao Dynasty recorded in the "History of Liao".

Yelu Dashi was both civil and military, supported the queen of Jin, and won the prestige of the virtuous emperor, and the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State south of Yanjing gathered together to resist the Jurchens. Later, the Liao general Yelu Yujian, who defected to the Jin State, heard that his nephew had become the emperor, so he stole it and defected to his command. Later, the Northern Liao was secretly funded by the secret trade of the Song State Shandong Road Domain, and got a lot of iron baggage, so as to fight against the Jurchens without falling behind, compared to the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who was almost killed by the Jurchens, the Northern Liao actually once let the Liao soldiers and civilians see the hope of Zhongxing. This is a later story, so let's mention it briefly for the time being, and I won't press the table.

The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that after Sanniang sent away the queen of Jin that day, she immediately worked with Yang Tinghe and others to help Liqing's coffin return south. Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and returned to Jeju Mansion in Shandong Province within a day, and then mourned, and for a time the town guard was sad from top to bottom, and the women's battalion was even more vegetarian.

Chen Xizhen heard that his beloved daughter had died, and rushed to Jeju overnight, so the white-haired person sent the black-haired person to grief, so that Chen Xizhen fell ill. Fortunately, Sanniang's medical skills are clever, and under the extension of medicine, it took half a year to recover. Later, Sanniang worshiped Chen Xizhen as her father-in-law, and according to Liqing's last wishes, she raised Chen Xizhen to die of old age, which is a later story.

More than ten days later, Li Jun and other naval leaders returned to Jeju to mourn, just as they were discussing how to bury Liqing, but Sanniang refused to bury her. Hearing this, Li Jun said that their navy found an island overseas, and there was a cave on it, which was bitterly cold all year round, and could preserve the corpse from decay. Sanniang was overjoyed, so she ordered Li Jun to take people to build the cave into a tomb, personally escorted Liqing's coffin to overseas, and finally buried Liqing in the cave, and sealed the body with cold ice, so that Liqing could sleep here, and sent 300 people from the navy to guard here. Since then, every year on the sacrifice day, Sanniang has landed on the island to mourn, feeling Liqing's past and mourning the deceased.

After arranging Liqing's funeral, the jade seal was naturally hidden by Sanniang, and it was only revealed when the time was ripe in the future. And Yang Tinghe and others became the cavalry generals of Jeju Mansion, and after arranging everything, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, Zheng Ying sent back the news that the King of Jin of Liao, who is now Emperor Tianxi of Northern Liao, sent envoys south to meet the Emperor of Song, intending to discuss with Song to join forces against the Jin army.

Hearing this news, Sanniang laughed secretly, the people of the Song Kingdom thought about recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun occupied by the Liao State, how could they join forces with the Liao people? If it weren't for the fact that there was still Fang La Weiping in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the Song army would have already participated in the battle against Yanjing at this time.

Sure enough, more than ten days later, Tokyo came to the Liao envoy's request to form an alliance against Jin was refused, and the Song State politely sent back the Liao envoy, and on the other hand, Emperor Daojun began to urge Tong Guan to exterminate Fang La as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the country, and then draw troops to the north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun while the Liao State was weak.

The poor Liao envoy went back like this, and in the end, Emperor Tianxi had no choice but to cooperate with the Shandong Lu Domain, engage in trade, and exchange furs and ginseng for the food and iron tools they needed to fight against the Jurchens.

The development of trade with Northern Liao, coupled with the development of trade with Goryeo, Fusang and other countries, made Shandong Road make a lot of money. And Sanruan's privateer fleet went south to plague the maritime trade in Quanzhou and other places, and it was very refreshing. The sailors of Song Guonan Road encircled and suppressed many times, but they all returned in vain. Although Sanruan ravaged the coastal area of the South Road, they did not rob the poor people, but divided part of the looted goods to help the poor people.

With the navy's maritime trade, coupled with the booming industry and commerce of Shandong Road, the money and food needed to reclaim wasteland and mine mines in various parts of Shandong Road were secured. At the end of the fourth year of Xuanhe, good news came from the Linglong Mountain gold mine, after more than a year of searching and mining, the gold mine there finally mined the first pot of gold, and then there will be a stable gold mining every year. Although silver and copper coins were the main currencies of the Song Dynasty at this time, gold has always been a rare and precious metal, and even if it is made into gold jewelry and gold utensils, it can also make a lot of money.

With these guarantees, the policy of Juntian reclamation on Shandong Road can be smoothly implemented. The abolition of the salt and iron monopoly has given a great impetus to the budding capitalism of Shandong Road, because since the Han Dynasty, all Chinese dynasties have been monopolized by the salt and iron state, which is a monopoly management policy implemented by the feudal dynasty in order to crack down on rich merchants and increase financial revenue. The liberalization of salt and iron business is actually an encouragement and status improvement for businessmen.

Looking back at history, in the early Han Dynasty, the opening of the private sector made the merchants who operated salt and iron richer than the princes, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was forced to be under financial pressure and disgusted with the merchants who "did not live in the urgent need of the public", under the auspices of Sang Hongyang, "cage salt and iron", and the salt and iron business was collected by the government and monopolized. From the Sui to the early Tang Dynasty, the special tax on salt was abolished, and the market tax was the same as that of other commodities. After the Tang Anshi Rebellion, financial difficulties and the salt monopoly began to be implemented again.

Although the salt and iron monopoly could bring considerable financial revenue to the state, in the long run, it was actually a gross interference in the circulation of goods, and this kind of economic governance was a disguised inhibition of commercial development, which led to the formation of a feudal tradition of suppressing commerce in China, which then continued until the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Sanniang's abolition of the monopoly of salt and iron was to lift a shackle on the heads of merchants, and greatly reduced the cost of salt for the people, so that the germination of capitalism really had the soil for survival. The liberalization of iron ore mining and smelting, so that the folk iron smelting process has made great progress, I believe that in the near future, Shandong Road can be forged suitable for making artillery steel or copper.

Since Liqing's death, Sanniang has been grieving, so she shifted her attention to military and political affairs, and buried herself in military affairs every day, hoping to anesthetize herself. But every time in the dead of night, Sanniang still can't help but think of Liqing. Fortunately, Yulian and Yizi Hu Zongrui are often accompanied by them, so that Sanniang will not be alone.

Seeing the end of the year, Shandong fell a lot of snow, everyone called it Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this year Shandong Road reclaimed a lot of wasteland, at this time winter wheat has been planted, with this heavy snow, I want to come next year will be a bumper harvest.

In the winter, the navy has returned to Hong Kong for the winter, and the work of reclamation and farming in various places has also stopped, and military and political affairs have been reduced, and there is no major matter to deal with except for arranging for the military horses of various units to carry out several winter exercises. And Beiliao and Fangla, because of the winter, both places have stopped fighting, and there is nothing important.

On this day, it looked like it was going to Layue, and Hu Taigong ordered someone to invite Sanniang back to Liangshan for a reunion, and Sanniang took Yulian and Hu Zongrui back. But just a few days after the reunion, Mrs. Hu's old illness relapsed, and he kept nagging, asking Sanniang to think about remarrying, which made Sanniang very annoyed.

On the fifth day, Sanniang finally couldn't resist the sound wave gong, and it happened that good news came from the Linglong Mountain Gold Mine, saying that it was a huge piece of dog's head gold, which looked like a flying dragon, which was a great auspicious omen.

Hearing the news, Sanniang hurriedly said goodbye to Taigong, and said that she was going to Linglong Mountain in person to see the auspicious omen, and to publicize it greatly, so that the soldiers and civilians of Shandong Road could be happy. Taigong couldn't stop it, so he had to let it go. At that moment, Sanniang brought Yulian, Hu Zongrui and many personal guards, and Yang Tinghe and Dong Pingjun were guarded, and went towards Linglong Mountain in Laizhou.

When I arrived at Linglong Mountain in Laizhou, I saw the barefoot dog's head gold, which was three feet long, and it looked like a dragon's head. Jeju Town Guard Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and others also heard the news and came to see a new thing, and after encountering it, they were all happy. Later, a big sacrifice to the sky publicized this auspicious omen, which made Sanniang's reputation more stable among the people.

After everything was done, the weather was even colder, and on this day Lu Junyi came and said: "There is a good hot spring in Linglong Mountain, so I will ask my sister to wash it once, and it will have the effect of curing illness and fatigue." Sanniang naturally knew the benefits of soaking in the hot springs, so she immediately took Yulian and Hu Zongrui to the hot springs to relax. (To be continued.) )
