Chapter 149: Yelujing Visits
Jia Fu nodded and smirked after listening to it, and at this time, footsteps came, and a voice sounded in his ears: "Jia Fu hasn't seen you for a long time, but the affairs of your Chamber of Commerce are over?"
"Yelujing, we were talking about you just now, but I didn't expect you to arrive." When Jafu saw Jerujing coming, he was overjoyed.
Yelujing also had a happy face, as if something wonderful was about to happen. Seeing this, Liu Sheng looked at the fish hook in the water and smiled bitterly. Put away the fishing rod, hand it to Yihun, and not far away, in the middle of the woods, point to "Let's go and talk".
"It's okay to talk in the past, Yelujing, I have a lot of things I want to ask you." Jia Fu nodded, he couldn't wait, he immediately knew the answer to something. This is LĂź Buwei's ordinary merit. As a businessman, if you can do this. Then what else does he have to regret in this life.
Yelujing smiled, followed the two of them, and walked into the middle of the woods. The three of them are on the stone bench, after they are done. Yelujing couldn't help but ask Jia Fu: "What is it, I would like to hear about it."
"Ye Lujing, when you told us about the Han masters, I don't know what they are called." Jia Fu went straight to the point, and he was not polite, the sooner he understood this matter, the sooner he could feel at ease.
Yelujing was puzzled and looked at Jia Fu: "Good and dignified, why did you ask about this matter?"
"Maybe you don't know that the DPRK and China are sending envoys to discuss with Liao to open border markets to each other, so I just want to ask to see if I can find some way." Jia Fu saw that Yelujing was puzzled and hurriedly explained. As for specific things, they can only be done privately first. After all, this matter has not yet been seen, and speaking out can only make people suffer from gains and losses.
Yelujing pondered for a while in his heart, and looked at Jia Fu for a long time: "My master, as early as two years ago, had already taken refuge under the command of the Second Emperor Brother. I don't know if I can write to him at this time."
"I heard you say that the prince of Liao, the storage position has been stabilized. Your second emperor brother is in the fiefdom, but I'm afraid that life will not be easy. At this time, the two countries opened border markets to each other, and Jia Fu's Chamber of Commerce was just able to bring them money. This matter is a good thing for both your second emperor brother and your master, and they have no reason to refuse." Liu Sheng analyzed them one by one, he had imagined these situations countless times, and there should be no mistakes. The only thing to worry about now is what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd by the Han people in Liao.
Yelujing heard Liu Sheng mention the prince of Liao, and Fang Cai's joy turned invisible. A shadow appeared in his heart, and he sighed deeply: "What you said is reasonable, I will write a letter to the master later." I don't know Yan'er, she's okay in China."
"I don't know why you are so happy, can you say it and share it with us." After Jia Fu saw Ye Lujing agree, he looked worried and quickly changed the topic.
When Ye Lujing heard the question, a trace of worry slowly faded: "When I came, I met Master Li Miao on the road. After a while of small talk. He promised to let the envoy of your country help me inquire about Yan'er's news."
"Congratulations, Jerejing. After the border market opens, I will ask the people of the Chamber of Commerce to pay attention to Xiao Yan's dynamics and send you some letters." When Jia Fu heard these words, he hurriedly agreed.
Yelujing was overjoyed after hearing this, stood up and saluted solemnly to Jia Fu: "Two kindnesses, Yelujing will never forget in this life."
"Yelujing, we are close friends, but this matter is not enough, why bother to say thank you for the effort." Liu Sheng and Jia Fu hurriedly got up and saluted.
The three of them did it again, Ye Lujing smiled, and changed the topic: "Looking forward to the two countries, open the border as soon as possible, and start trade." In this way, we may be able to improve the status of the Han people in China in disguise."
"It's hard to do unless someday. If you ascend to the supreme position of Liao, you may be able to eliminate discrimination." Liu Sheng looked at Ye Lujing and deliberately said this.
After hearing this, Yelujing remembered what he had encountered since he was a child, and shook his head bitterly: "It's not easy to say, it's no less difficult than climbing to the sky."
"I heard that there are often arguments in the Liao Kingdom. One to the west and one to the south. I don't know if these rumors are correct." Liu Sheng saw Ye Lujing shaking his head and hurriedly diverted the topic.
Yelujing recalled what he had seen and heard in the palace of the Liao State, and nodded slightly: "It is precisely because of these two points of view that the country is divided into two factions, and they quarrel every year."
"Then do you think that westward expansion or southward expansion is the most beneficial to Liao?" Jia Fu couldn't help but interject to ask Yelujing.
Yelujing pondered for a moment, as if to measure: "Whether it is from personal feelings or from the interests of the country. I'm inclined to continue westward expansion."
"As far as I know, the West is vast and vast and mostly small countries and widows. If you go west, you will be very profitable. On the other hand, going south, the national strength of my Great Zhou is not inferior to Liao. At that time, the war will be anxious, and I am afraid that it will be thankless." Liu Sheng followed Ye Lujing's words and continued to explain.
Ye Lujing smiled slightly, what Liu Sheng said was also what he thought, but it is a pity that there is still a faction in the Liao State that advocates going south, but their strength is not weak: "It's a pity that these views, led by Yan Jing, the southbound faction, do not agree with it at all." Most of the direct beneficiaries of the Western Expedition were tribes in the west. And for eastern tribes such as Yanjing, it is not profitable. Therefore, they repeatedly blocked the westward expansion and advocated the southward."
"As far as I know, Liao has profited from the western expedition, which has greatly increased the strength of the faction that supports the western expedition. Under the advantages of one and the other, the southward faction seems to be a little insufficient. That's why I have been in peace with Liao for decades." Liu Sheng continued, analyzing.
Yelu nodded, and Jia Fu showed a puzzled look: "Brother Sheng, you said that the Liao State is a faction in the west, and its strength is greater than that of the south. What happened last year, how can we explain the Liao envoy turmoil?"
"The second emperor brother is also Xiao He, and Xiao He is defeated. The Liao envoy turmoil was planned by the southward faction. If Zhou and Liao go to war at this time, then they will be expelled from Shangjing. It should be the eldest royal brother, not the second imperial brother." Ye Lujing told the news that he knew in the Liao Imperial Palace. Although these news are the most common gossip for those who live in the imperial palace of the Liao State. But for Luoyang and Liu Sheng, it is rare news. In some ways, it also confirmed his original assumption.
Liu Sheng listened and analyzed, and suddenly smiled: "Although your second emperor brother was expelled, the strength of the southward faction has not been damaged. I'm afraid that some things are not as simple as they seem, and there may be a dragon fight in Beijing."
"Judging from the previous unwritten rules, the second emperor brother has completely failed." Yelujing shook his head, a little disbelieving. According to the custom in the Liao State, the crown prince and the Xiao family married. It means that his position is as stable as Mount Tai.
Liu Sheng smiled and continued to explain: "But have you ever thought about it, the southern faction has been suppressed for decades, will they be willing to do it all the time?"
"Decades? Do you mean? Things will change, but what can they do about the current situation." Ye Lujing was puzzled, looked at Liu Sheng, and thought repeatedly.
Liu Sheng shook his head and made a helpless expression at Yelujing: "I don't know, these are just my personal guesses."
"Second Emperor Brother, what can he do under the current situation? What's the use of thinking about it for me? To be able to save one's life is already a great blessing. How dare you ask for anything else". As he spoke, Yelujing suddenly smiled, as if relieved. The situation of the Liao country, what does it have to do with him Yelujing.
