Murong Cheng laughed and said, "Losing confidence? How can it be. This king is just lamenting the advantage that the Xiaoguo army occupies now, you can rest assured, it will be a matter of time before Luoyang City is attacked. What about the Xiaoguo army, sooner or later they will surrender to the king's command. ”

As a prince of one side, Murong Cheng knew very well that it was one thing to know the comparison of strength between the two sides, and it was another thing to know the ease and difficulty of things. However, the information must not be lost. Otherwise, it means that you have already lost to the other party.

"The prince is right, although the Xiaoguo army has now pacified its rear, it will take a while for it to completely stabilize the territory of Liaozhou. In addition, if you want to restore it, I am afraid that the rear of the Xiaoguo army will need to spend a lot of money for it. ”

"Besides, the 100,000 troops of the Xiaoguo Army have already marched into the grassland, and it is not a simple matter to go directly south. Let's not say whether he can immediately draw out the army and attack Situ Lei. Even if it has already preached that it wants to conquer the Turkic army, it also forces it not to be lightly perfidy. Therefore, in the short term, this Xiaoguo army is not our biggest opponent. Zhong Yan said in a loud voice.

"You're right, we shouldn't care too much about the situation of the Xiaoguo Army, it's better to win two levels now, as long as we break these two places. Situ Lei is no longer much of a threat, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to take Luoyang, capture Yongzhou, or even directly recover the entire territory of Situ Lei's territory. Murong Cheng said excitedly with a divine light in his eyes.

Both Murong Cheng and Zhong Yan underestimated the rise of commerce in Liaozhou. Of course, they didn't expect how urgent the supplies needed were after several surrounding countries and tribes had just survived the winter disaster under the business rules of the Xiaoguo Army. The materials of the Han people of Dayan are so loved by the nobles of various countries. Similarly, the specialties of various countries are also the favorite of merchants in the Central Plains and all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Seeing the rapid development of Liaozhou and the three eastern prefectures and the convenience of commerce, Zhao Xun, who has always been concerned about this, couldn't help but be secretly surprised. For this reason, Zhao Xun specially inspected the land of Liaozhou, and then passed on the meaning of the Xiaoguo Army to the Three Kingdoms of the Silla Peninsula. Yan Dayan merchants traveled freely to the Silla Peninsula, and all countries must not stop or make things difficult.

It seems like a simple sentence, but it represents an extraordinary meaning. For Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, this was somewhat humiliating. However, they had no choice, and they didn't dare to go head-to-head with the Xiaoguo Army. In addition, all countries also need Dayan's merchants to sell Dayan's domestic goods to their own borders, so they can only respond.

For businessmen, this is great news. After receiving the consent of the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Sinnagawa and Baekje, plus the escort of various dart bureaus, then these merchants would basically not encounter any danger when they entered the territory of the Silla Peninsula to do business. As a result, merchants from all over the country flocked to it.

The complete security of the Hidden North and the passage between the north and the south were opened, just as a new Silk Road was opened. Countless goods were sold in the places where they were sold, and they were able to obtain more goods directly from the Murowei tribe, the Heishui Yabu tribe, and the three countries of the Silla Peninsula at a smaller price.

Don't underestimate these foreign tribes and countries, the horses, cattle and sheep, women, slaves, and furs in their territory are all needed in the territory of Dayan.

Of course, some special items are still prohibited or sold in limited quantities. For example, Xiang armor equipment, food, cement, and some books about production technology and the like were all strictly controlled by the Xiaoguo Army.

The weather in May is in the southern region, and it is late spring and early summer. It stands to reason that the temperature should not be very low and start to rise gradually. However, in Liaozhou and Dongsanfu, it is still relatively cold. Of course, it is much better than the cold winter and early spring.

Although the land of Liaozhou was determined, almost a month has passed since the liberation of the Han slaves who were captured by the former Yan Bu Road. However, everywhere in Liaozhou, you can still see the weather after the celebration. This will not only make these Han slaves turn over and become masters, but also some of the Han people who have migrated from the south. In the past, they may have been homeless, but when they arrived, the climate was not very adaptable. However, they have land, houses, and tax exemptions. These things can't help but make them thank Xiaoguo Jun in the bottom of their hearts.

Longzhou City, the former capital of Liaodong State, is now expanded by the prisoners of the Yan people, and has become the seat of Liaozhou and the government of Longzhou. On the street, Zhao Xun rode his war horse Jade Qilin for many days, and led a team of people and horses to wander around the city, stretching out his horsewhip from time to time to point to various places in the city. Dressed in the Qilin Lion Barbarian Armor, with a Ling Void Sword hanging from his waist, and carrying a flame Qilin cloak, he was particularly eye-catching under the protection of the group of relatives.

Zhao Xun entered the city to inspect the city, and the officers and soldiers of the defending army had already informed him that a group of town soldiers were responsible for opening the road in front, and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion were guarding his side. However, although ordinary people were not allowed to stay on the passages in the city, they did not say that they would not let everyone watch. On both sides of the street, in the shops, there are people and merchants in the city, not only Han people, but also Yan people. In any case, these Tatars also gained stability and survival from the hands of the Xiaoguo Army. Ordinary people naturally have no ill feelings towards the Xiaoguo Army, and as for those nobles, they have long been relocated or cleared.

Countless people and businessmen are on tiptoe, vying to admire the tiger power of King Zhao. Among these people, I don't know how many are Han slaves rescued by the Xiaoguo army, and I don't know how many are the people of the Jing people who survived with the relief of the Xiaoguo army. At this moment, they were full of gratitude to Zhao Xun and Xiao Guojun.

The Xiaoguo army won many battles in the northern land, first breaking the Khitans, then destroying their tribes, and killing the king of the North Sea in the Beihai Department. Nowadays, there is a forced surrender of the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Ministry, making it the territory of the Han people. Even the people of the Ya people who destroyed the tribe are also full of awe for the Xiaoguo army. Among them, the earth-shaking thunder is a particularly important role. Not to mention, this special, earth-shattering weapon appeared in this period, and it was impossible not to make these tribal races with backward living standards rush to amaze and worship.

Between the Han people and the alien people who became slaves of foreign races and were rescued by the Xiaoguo army in Youbei, Zhao Xun has long been said to be a god descending from heaven to earth, and he is in charge of the divine thunder on behalf of the heavens. Of course, the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division of the Snapfruit Army, as well as the merchants, also contributed a lot to this, and they needed Myth Zhao Xun in order to better make these aliens accept the results of being ruled by the Snapfruit Army.

With neat steps, murderous troops and all kinds of weapons that shimmer with cold light, all kinds of legends, even the Shengha in front of him, which made those merchants from all over the world, especially those merchants from other races and the people of the Yan Dynasty more respectful to Zhao Xun. Even the Han merchants who had come from the territory of Dayan were intimidated by the immovable soldiers who stood on both sides of the road and the mighty capital of the army guarding Zhao Xun's side and behind him.

Zhao Xun entered the city today, and the reason why he wanted to make such a big show was to tell everyone that this land of Liaozhou belonged to my Xiaoguo army. Whoever dares to fight the idea here, Xiaoguo Jun vows not to give up. Moreover, the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Sect are your example, destroying the country.

After turning around in the eyes of the people, Zhao Xun entered Longzhou City. Later, he inquired in detail about the situation in Liaozhou, and Zhao Xun was quite satisfied with the current situation in Liaozhou. Yang Wangqing, the political envoy in charge of Liaozhou's government affairs, was originally in charge of the relationship between the Xiaoguo Army and the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Ministry, and he was familiar with the situation in Liaozhou, so now he is directly responsible for the government affairs of Liaozhou, and he is also the first governor of Liaozhou, commanding local government affairs. It can be described as a good thing, and the responsibility to expand the territory is not unimportant.

After Yang Wangqing's narration, Zhao Xun also had a general understanding of Liaozhou. In general, most of the people of Liaozhou, including the people of the Yao, recognized Zhao Xun's rule over this place. Of course, it is obviously unrealistic for them to give up the identity of the Tatar people all at once. However, as long as they accept the command of the Xiaoguo army, sooner or later they will be assimilated by the Han Chinese, right?

"For the time being, we can not implement strong measures to relocate the common people of the Tatars, but for those of the great gentry and all the nobles, they will all be relocated, and there is no room for maneuver. In addition, Chinese is the official language and is the standard language. In addition, when recruiting manpower for various trading houses and workshops, those with Han household registration are given priority. Of course, if the people have skills, that's a different story. ”

"We want to increase the construction of the academy, and in addition, we want to sell Dayan's classical books here. Let all the people know that if their descendants want to be officials and be developed, they must learn Chinese, become Chinese, and know Chinese characters. ”

"The lyrics and culture sung in wine shops, teahouses, and green houses in various places must be mainly to promote my Xiaoguo Army, whether it is true or false, it must be so."

"Strictly monitor the materials sold by merchants in the past, and the materials that are strictly prohibited from being sold or restricted from being sold can only be passed with the approval of the Xiaoguo Army, and even so, they must be checked one by one. Those who dare to act recklessly will be killed. Ordinary books, books that teach the people to be upward, to be good, and books of literary works, can be sold to the outside world. Medicine, agriculture, engineering, and formulas in various aspects, such as those that are taught by the academy in the territory of our Xiaoguo Army, and the books that are conducive to the lives of the people and the development of the local area compiled by our Xiaoguo Army, are not allowed to be sold, and those who violate the order will be punished as spies. ”

Zhao Xun then promulgated some things that need to be paid attention to and strictly investigated, although it is okay to carry out trade with various countries, but some things naturally need to be prohibited. In particular, some advanced techniques are naturally not allowed to be passed on. You must know that in the territory of Xiaoguo Army, various innovative technologies such as medicine, industry, commerce, agriculture, and craftsmen emerge one after another, for this reason, Zhao Xun not only ordered the compilation of books, but also rewarded these innovators and promised official titles and titles. In the territory of the Xiaoguo Army, it is not only the scholars who are officials, but also people from all walks of life.

These scholars were redundant officials from all walks of life, and they were naturally dissatisfied at first. However, after comparing these scholars with these people in some aspects, the scholars also found that they were indeed far inferior in many aspects. Moreover, the places that are far inferior are precisely important points related to people's livelihood and war. Therefore, under Zhao Xun's instructions, these scholars finally accepted these people from all walks of life as officials.

Of course, the most important thing is that these various works have become something that some seowon needs to study. In addition, Zhao Xun also ordered that for some officials, only the corresponding people can be officials. Officials at all levels understood that according to Zhao Xun's meaning, for example, the Ministry of Industry of Dayan Kingdom needs officials from artisan households, at least, among a number of officials, more than eighty percent of the officials must be from artisan households, or two-thirds of the chief officials also need to be from artisan households.

Of course, the craftsmen here are not the ones who command the tools. They also need to learn knowledge, pass the guò assessment, and then gradually rise from the bottom. Officials such as the Department of Taxation and the Department of Finance must be proficient in arithmetic, but it is not the case in the past that any official can take up any post in any yamen at will.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun went around all parts of Liaozhou, especially the timber in Liaozhou, which was simply a towering giant tree, and every one of them was a good material for making the keel of a sea ship. In this regard, Zhao Xun naturally will not let it go, and after the ward, there are naturally corresponding people responsible for cutting it down, and then transporting it to the shipyard in the south, waiting for the ships to leave the factory. You know, the sea trade is very prosperous now. Especially after the Xiaoguo Army printed a pamphlet on the ideas and guidance of the White Feather Merchant Caravan on the ideas and guidance of the sea trade, the merchants in the territory of the Xiaoguo Army went to the sea one after another, heading to the south and beyond.

"Han Meng, let's go, let's go to the city market today!" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered that he had come to the market to see if commerce was thriving. When he was in the land of Yanzhou, Han Meng, the captain of the personal guard battalion, naturally couldn't go with him. Originally, Zhao Xun planned to let him go to war with the army. However, after Han Meng fought a few battles in the land of Liaozhou and the Yan Yabu Road, after learning that Zhao Xun was going to stay here for a while, he decided to escort Zhao Xun's side. In this regard, Zhao Xun had no choice but to let it go. However, with Han Meng guarding him, Zhao Xun felt a lot more relaxed when he arrived.

Like Chang'an and Luoyang, the east and west markets of the city are a lively place, with pedestrians weaving and rubbing shoulders. Because, the east and west markets are the places where the government deliberately let merchants gather, after all, they are stored in one place, and it is also easy to manage. Today, Zhao Xun came to the west market in the city under the escort of dozens of guards, either bright or covert.

Longzhou City is Longzhou City after all, and it can be used as the capital of Liaodong State, so it is naturally not blown out. After the expansion of the Xiaoguo Army, this Longzhou City has become even bigger. Because there was no war, it was directly the surrender of the king of Liaodong, so there is no sign of wanton destruction here.

Now, Longzhou City does not have the solemn image of the capital of a country, but has the scene of the first trading city in Liaozhou. In addition, this was originally the national capital of Liaodong, so there was already a complete set of urban planning and some business rules here. After some tidying up and expansion by Xiaoguojun, the business planning here has become closer and more orderly. There is a special official in charge of supervising the transaction affairs. Of course, they are responsible for the disputes in the transaction, not deliberately intervene in them.

The market of Longzhou City is divided into two cities, east and west, the east market is close to the inner city, has always been a treasure of all directions, all accumulated, the goods operated in the market, many high-quality luxury goods, to meet the needs of the noble lords living in the inner city, and gradually the east market finally formed a special luxury market. Now, although there is nothing valuable, those big merchants are all rich lords, and their purchasing power is no less than that of the nobles of the Tatar people in the past. Besides, they don't buy it for their own use, but sell it elsewhere.

On the contrary, the West City is facing the West City Gate, and to the west, it is the newly built official road, which leads to the ocean in the west and connects the southern part of Liaozhou in the south. Most of the merchants from all over the world live in this area. There are Turks, Xi people, Han people, Jin Ya people, Murwei people, Silla people, Baekje people, as well as Yizhou people who came to trade by guò sea ships, Persians from far away, and Hu merchants who came from far away, and they all set up shop here.

It can be said that it is the largest and most prosperous commodity trading place in the whole Liaozhou, not for anything else, but because it connects the north and the south, the east and the west, and the various countries. Zhao Xun also found that he had inadvertently turned this place into a commercial gathering place. Of course, this is also related to the low business tax policy and the policy of welcoming businessmen from all ethnic groups and countries to come. Although some of the merchants' countries, tribes, and forces were hostile to the Xiaoguo army, or had been hostile to them, they have not yet resumed normal interactions. However, it is not forbidden for merchants to come and go. Therefore, it has become a thriving place of commerce.

There are many houses with common surnames around the West Market, and the goods sold in the market are mostly clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities. Commerce in the West City is more prosperous than in the East Market, after all, there are still a few people who can buy valuable things.

"Yes, it is indeed the business district and economic activity center of Longzhou City." Looking at the crowded market, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh. Although there is no Chang'an, Luoyang, and not as vast as Youzhou City. However, there are also two equal streets in the west market that are 10 steps wide in the north-south direction and 10 steps wide in the east-west direction, and the four streets cross vertically and horizontally to form a "well" shape, dividing the entire city into rectangular areas.

Even Zhao Xun walked on the business road, looking at the things sold by the shops on both sides, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Not to mention, there are a lot of strange things, Zhao Xun still can't recognize what they are. Those various storefronts and colorful goods are dazzling.

The neat rows of storefronts have long been gathered together according to different types, forming the form of a street of goods for buyers to choose. On both sides of the wide street, there are mountains of goods piled up in front of each store. Grocery stores, new goods stores, gold banks, fruit shops, shoe and hat stores, medicine stores, at a glance, there are women and children shopping there everywhere. Most of these people are the families of veterans and wounded soldiers of the town soldiers in the eastern three prefectures, and in addition, the families of the soldiers who retired from the town soldiers and became local county soldiers are also placed here. As soon as they arrived, they had ready-made houses all allocated, and they were all built by the Tatar captives.

Many people who fled from the war-torn land of the Central Plains and were moved to this place immediately liked it. Of course, it is not the place that they like, but the calm, stable and peaceful life here, and no one likes war, no matter what his status.

Compared with the chaotic battles in the various state capitals in the Central Plains of Dayan, every person here can feel a unique temperament here. A new temperament, a vibrant, thriving, and confident temperament. Coming to Liaodong is not a disaster, but the beginning of a new life. There were no wars, no bandits, and not even the excessive taxes of the government.

Although the climate here is different from that of my hometown, although this is no longer my familiar hometown. But what could be more important than being stable, calm, or, more than being able to live with your family?

Although everyone doesn't want to leave their homes and stay away, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't live anymore, these people wouldn't be willing to leave their homeland and come to the legendary bitter cold land of Liaozhou? When I arrived at the land of Liaozhou, which was newly subdued by the Xiaoguo Army and placed in the state capital, I found that although this Liaozhou is like the legendary cold spot, although the fields assigned are also barren, but in comparison, compared to the south, it can make people live at ease.

"A bookstore? Is there still this thing here? When Zhao Xun suddenly saw a store with simple decoration, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw the prismatic sign on it.

"Let's go inside, take a look, and see what books they sell?" Zhao Xun said with a smile. He knew that these bookstores generally had the shadow of the government. After all, there are rules on what can be sold and what books are restricted from being sold, and they cannot be shipped at will.

Zhao Xun led several people into the bookstore, and in the bookstore, there were still several people who were selecting books. I have to say that here, anyone will restrain their pace, adjust their breath, and make themselves more elegant because of the books in front of them.

The shop is decorated in an antique style, and the shelves inside are full of shelves full of books full of ink. Books, for the people of this era, are sacred. Books represent the inheritance of cultural etiquette, the past and the future of a nation. One of the reasons why the Han people were able to survive the change of dynasties, rather than disappearing into history unconsciously like the other races in the north, was that there were books that could be passed down from generation to generation, and he passed on the knowledge of the sages and the history of the famous people from generation to generation......

There was no shopkeeper to disturb him, the store was quiet, and the whole room could smell a faint fragrance of books and ink. Zhao Xun walked a few steps, and at a glance, there were many classics of Zhuzi, such as "Analects", "Mencius", "University", "The Mean" and so on. Zhao Xun looked sideways and saw that the people who bought books, in addition to some scholars who came to Liaozhou as officials, there were also some people from other tribes. Looking at it slightly, Zhao Xunjue felt that they wanted the people of the Three Kingdoms on the Silla Peninsula more.

The Central Plains culture has a deep influence among the surrounding ethnic groups and countries, and has always been admired and studied by all countries, and Zhao Xun is not very surprised by this. Speaking of which, Zhao Xun also hopes that these books can sell more and spread the Han culture.
