In terms of politics, economy, and military, the military states under the head have the duality of being both dependent on the lord and subordinate to the imperial court. Come on,.! The assassins were nominated by the lord and submitted to the imperial court for appointment, and they were the lord's personal subordinates, but the jiedu envoys had to be selected by the imperial court. Most of the subordinate households in the military prefecture were dependent peasants and dependent herdsmen, and a few were slaves. The lower part of the head is not only paid to the lord, but also lost to the imperial court, so they are also known as the two tax households. The commercial taxes levied by the military states under the head are generally owned by the lords. The lord of the military state under the big head can also have private armor, but it is uniformly dispatched by the imperial court.

Soon after Zhao Xin returned home, he found that his father, who was the lord of the city, was depressed due to the changes in his family and was suppressed by the Liao Emperor. Now the Liao State has been defeated in a row, losing a large amount of land, and the Liao Emperor is mediocre, causing chaos in the world, the hearts of the people of all departments are scattered, and the rebels do not listen to the dispatch, attacking each other and grabbing territory, and Yuanzhou has become a piece of fat. The tribes under their command are also ready to move because of the weakness of the city lord, and frequently challenge the bottom line, not only refusing to pay taxes and no longer paying tribute to the city lord, but also fighting for pastures and fields, and the family is already on the verge of defeat

Faced with the scene in front of her, Zhao Xin only broke free after a short period of confusion, after all, she was one of the veterans who followed Zhao Ta's 'entrepreneurship', thinking that the prince could lay his own world with his wisdom and talent when there were only a few hundred households, lack of money and food, and no guarantee of life. And now what he has is much stronger than the prince at that time. At least I have a city. Thousands of private armor, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and large pastures.

After a few days of detailed investigation of the current situation, Zhao Xin had a long talk with his parents and family. It is said that 'those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Zhu are red', and the long-term study by the prince's side has made her insight very unattainable, and in the process of conquering the Western Xia, she has not only gained rich practical experience, but also cultivated a good overall concept. A long conversation all night. The whole family was impressed, not only with the full support of his mother, but also with the encouragement of his father, who was drunk with alcohol, and recommended him as the envoy of the Wonju Festival. Commanding the soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou and presiding over the affairs of the city, everyone pinned the hopes of the Zhongxing family on her.

The reason why the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitan people occupies a very important historical position in China's long feudal society, has a far-reaching social impact, and makes the Khitan nation a powerful nation is mainly because of the achievements achieved by Khitan women and men who established the Liao Dynasty together and made significant contributions to its development and prosperity.

Zhao Xin can obtain this kind of power as a woman, if it is placed in the Song Dynasty, it is unthinkable, but this kind of thing is rare and ordinary in the Liao State. It's not unusual! If the Song Dynasty is a beautiful era of scholars, then the Liao Dynasty is the paradise of 'women's rights', and in the end of the Liao Dynasty, Khitan women are generally respected by the society, they not only enjoy a high degree of freedom to marry, but also can participate in politics, and enjoy the same educational opportunities and the right to participate in politics and deliberations as men, and have a lofty social status and far-reaching political influence in the social and political arena of the Liao Dynasty, but these are difficult to achieve until the modern democratic society.

Zhao Xin was ordered to take over the affairs of the city immediately, although she had never eaten pork. But after finally seeing the pig run, the most important thing now is to stabilize the inside. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to have a strong armed support, so the first thing Zhao Xin did was to scatter the surplus wealth in the palace and recruit warriors. He also selected 1,000 elite soldiers from the central part of the prefecture to train a new army. At the same time, it makes full use of the in-law relationship. Repair the relationship with the surrounding powerful and reduce the hostile situation.

After the formation of the new army, Zhao Xin immediately led the army to conquer the Japanese company that invaded the border. Rilian Department is one of the eight departments when the Liao State was founded, and the strength is comparable to the Yuanzhou Xiao Pulli clan, the Xiao family has been famous in the past hundred years, and the queen has several of them, and the two sides can still be at peace with each other. And now that the emperor doesn't care about political affairs, they bribed Prime Minister Xiao Fengxian to achieve rapid development, but the Xiao clan is declining, but the Rilian Department has risen in the troubled times and has become the largest tribe in Yuanzhou, claiming to have 20,000 tribal soldiers, so they want to take the opportunity to occupy Yuanzhou.

But what is surprising is that Zhao Xin, with more than 1,000 private soldiers just formed, dared to confront the Japanese company, and the result was that the weak defeated the strong, won three battles and three victories, and personally beheaded the head of the chief of the Japanese company, and merged his tribe into Yuanzhou City, which became famous for a while. After that, he led the army to defeat the alliance of several small tribes around him, captured his leader, occupied his land, and collected his wealth, and the original rebellious tribes called down the tribute and paid taxes on time, and no one dared to underestimate the Xiao family Bali clan in Yuanzhou, and the name of the five girls of the Xiao family was spread far and wide

Pacified the civil strife, subdued the subordinates, Zhao Xin imitated the practice of the prince, reduced taxes, gathered the hearts of the tribes, expanded the army, and it took only three months to re-stabilize the scope of the Bali tribe's power in Yuanzhou, and the private army directly under it also grew to more than 5,000 people, which also established her position in Yuanzhou.

Zhao Xin also knew the truth of grace and power, she distributed the captured black slave tribes to the people participating in the war according to the size of the war merits, and the black slave patriarch showed the public, and the body was hung on the city wall to expose the corpse for three days.

"Fifth girl, the caravan in the city is leaving for some reason, and the subordinates don't know what to do, please instruct!" Zhao Xin, who was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the Jurchens, had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion when someone came in to tell him.

"Oh, is it that someone raised taxes without authorization, or forced to buy and sell, harassing the caravan and causing panic!" Zhao Xin asked with some surprise, Yuanzhou City was built on a post road, which was an important traffic line from Liaodong to Xijing Road at that time, and it was at the junction of nomadic and agricultural areas, so it has always been an important commodity trading area, and commercial tax is also an important income in the city.

"Fifth girl, my subordinates have inquired, and none of these things have happened!" The man hurriedly replied,

"Well, then you find a merchant to come to the mansion and I'll personally ask the reason!" Zhao Xin said that Yuanzhou is located outside the plug, and the production is mostly cattle and sheep, grain, and fur, and the products are not abundant, and daily necessities need to be imported from other cities, and the goods produced also need to be purchased and exchanged by caravans, and the caravans have run away, and the lives of the people will be greatly affected, if it is not their own reasons, then it may be that something big has happened, and the people in these caravans are dog noses, and they can smell the smell of danger from afar, so Zhao Xin feels that it is necessary to ask in person.

"Meet the envoy of the festival!" After a short time, a subordinate official in the mansion led a Han man in his thirties to walk in, and the man saluted Zhao Xinshi.

"Which caravan are you?" Zhao Xin hung up his scarf and turned around and asked.

"My lord, the villain is the steward of the caravan of the Great Song Shengrentang, his surname is Hao, everyone calls him a villain!" The man was not stage frightened, and said with a smile.

"Sheng Rentang?!" Zhao Xinyi frowned in surprise and said, the caravans in the palace all start with the word 'Sheng', it won't be 'your own family', "Which family do you belong to, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Hehe, have you heard of Sheng Yitang?" Hao Yan asked with a smile.

"Well, I've heard that it started in Xiangyi, and now the business name is all over China, and the caravan is traveling in all directions, do you have anything to do with them!" How could this Zhao Xin not know about it, it was one of the two major companies founded by the prince back then, and she watched it grow from small to large.

"My lord is well-informed, what he said is good, now our owner's business is getting bigger and bigger, and a few months ago, the business in the north was split out and renamed Shengrentang, which is in the same vein as Shengyitang!" Hao Yan praised, his eyes aimed at Zhao Xin and wanted to see the legendary female head of Yuanzhou, but he was soon disappointed, only his eyes were exposed under the face towel, and his face was not visible at all.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" The subordinate officer saw that the fifth girl's expression changed after hearing this, and he was silent, and hurriedly asked.

"Oh, where are you from, and how about your family?" Zhao Xin lost his mind for a while, the tentacles of the prince had reached Yuanzhou, could it be that he had already known his whereabouts, but Zhao Xin still couldn't help but want to get the information of the prince.

"The villain's family is from Daizhou, but he has an old relationship with our owner, but I'm just a little steward where can I know the affairs of the landlord, but I heard that he is very young, but he can be in charge of such a big business, and he is not a mortal when he thinks about it, and the villain also wants to see it, but he has no chance!" Hao Yan sighed and said, but he admired his owner very much.

"I have only heard of each other for a long time, and I have never met!" After that, Zhao Xin only felt a fever on his face, if he was familiar with their owner, no one in the world might be able to surpass her, and now he was relieved to hear Hao Yan say this, as long as this person was not from Xiangyi, he would not recognize himself, but after all, he was working for the prince, and he didn't feel a sense of closeness, so he asked him to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea before saying, "Shopkeeper Hao, isn't it easy to do business in Yuanzhou?" ”

"My lord, if you want to say that buying and selling Yuanzhou is indeed a place to make money, the transportation here is convenient, the communication between the north and the south, the products are abundant, the taxes are reasonable, as long as you are not lazy, the goods are on the road, you can always earn more than other places!" Hao Yan said.

"In that case, why do you all have to leave?" Zhao Xin asked puzzled.

"Don't adults know, the Jurchens are coming, those people are barbarians, they will rob things when they see them, and they will kill people when they see them, and Yuanzhou will suffer from war, how dare we stay here!" Hao Yan looked at Zhao Xin and said in surprise.

"The Jurchens are going to Yuanzhou, why don't we know any news, where did you get it?" Although Zhao Xin was a little suspicious of what happened just now, he was still surprised to hear that the Jurchens were about to arrive in Yuanzhou......)
