Yang Zhi was not so precious to the Tiger Wing Bow, and when he returned to the post house, he destroyed the poisoned arrow in front of Yelu Ao Lu Hu, so he smiled and handed over the bow box of the Tiger Wing Bow to Yelu Ao Lu Hu, without even mentioning the money. Yelu Ao Lu Hu knew that he couldn't do this kind of thing, one was that Yang Zhi looked like a talent, but now in order to inherit the throne, the competition was fierce, and he couldn't leave such a handle outside, ruining his good name.

As soon as Yelu Ao Lu hesitated, Yelu Deyuan understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Yang Zhi, we have a relationship, but this is for Lord Yelu Chun, you always have to say the price, and the King of Jin can do it." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "If you have a poor son's armor, give me a set, or ask Ye Luchun to give me three hundred taels of gold cotton clothes in Zhongjing." ”

Yang Zhi's requirements are not high, although the Xixia Qizi armor is precious, but it is really nothing to the Great Liao, not to mention the annual tribute and private procurement exchanges between the two countries, just the Tianzuo Emperor named the daughter of the imperial family Yelu Nanxian as the princess of Cheng'an and married Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia, after the Western Xia Dynasty dismissed the army, he sent thousands of sets of the Qizi armor at one time. Naturally, the Qizi armor of Western Xia is also divided into grades, the green armor is an ordinary horseman, and the black armor is a high-level general.

After Yelu Ao and the others left, Yelu Deyuan introduced today's third guest, Han Zhu, the fourth elder of the Han family in Youzhou, and the owner of Datong Rice Store with branches in five capitals and sixteen states. Han Zhu was a standard Han Chinese, a rugged-looking man, wearing a well-tailored green shirt, with a bearded face and bright eyes; Han Zhu's intention was relatively simple, he was willing to provide 3,000 stone of grain, but asked Yang Zhi to hand over the 1,000 horses he might get in the future.

Yelu Deyuan went out after the introduction, there were only two people in the house, Yang Zhi refused in a low and gentle voice: "The Han clan of Youzhou is a famous family, can't Fourth Master Han even see the situation clearly? If I can get a thousand horses, the Jin Kingdom will definitely have withdrawn its troops, and you don't need to consider the Song Dynasty to avoid disaster at all." If I fail, you will either surrender to the Jin Kingdom, or you will go as far as you want, and the three thousand stone grain will be thrown into the water, Fourth Master Han, tell me your true intentions, right?"

"Good man. Han Zhu said leisurely: "I don't care about this food, I just hope that the people of Daliao can live a happy life, but I can't give you away in vain, as long as this precedent is set, there will be swarms of flies buzzing and flying and squeezing our Han family out." Yang Zhi, since you think it's a good deal, why can't we make a deal?"

Yang Zhi looked at Han Zhu and said with a smile: "Since the fourth master has said this, I will give you a thousand horses, but I will add five hundred sets of cotton clothes." ”

Han Zhu said proudly: "Born in troubled times, seeing is all helpless, everything you hear is miserable, now many Liao people don't have hope for Da Liao, you are still doing your best as a Song person, okay, I promise you, give you a thousand sets of cotton clothes, I hope your fist is stronger than Yan Zonghan's." ”

Wanyan Zonghan is the right marshal of the Jin State, Han Zhu said so, either Wanyan Zonghan is a powerful character, or he has a grudge against Han Zhu, but this is not Yang Zhi's business, Yang Zhi wants to stay in the Liao State and avoid the Jin State from quickly destroying the Liao State and attacking the Great Song Dynasty, the first small goal to complete is to help the resentful army regroup. Looking at it now, the top and bottom of the Liao State are actually very clear in their hearts, and the appearance of Yelu Ao Lu Hu and Han Zhu shows that there are still people who want to continue the fate of the Liao State.

Yang Zhi pondered and asked, "Does the Han family have any idea of forming a business group?"

Han Zhu shook his head, in the face of the current situation, the Han family was not optimistic about Emperor Tianzuo, and they didn't want to take advantage of the fire. Yang Zhi was not reluctant, and directly took Han Zhu to see Master Tianxin, and threw the transportation and handover of food and cotton clothes to Zen Master Damori, who had not yet left.

Master Tianxin and Han Zhu also knew each other, and said with satisfaction: "Fourth Master Han can take the initiative to help, it is the best news I heard today." ”

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Master, I even let go of the horses that I might get in the future. ”

The four of them laughed, Emperor Tianzuo's promise was not written in black and white, even if Yang Zhi made a meritorious career, it is unknown whether he would really give a thousand horses in the future, the Han family is just changing tricks to fund the army, just like Tianxiong Temple is three thousand cattle and sheep when it opens its mouth, no matter how wonderful Yang Zhi's story is, is it worth the price?

Yang Zhi met four more people later, all of whom wanted to sell something to Yang Zhi's businessmen, but Yang Zhi really had nothing to exchange, so he could only ask the four of them to leave the address of the store in Shangjing or Zhongjing so that they could contact him in the future. Later, he was stopped by Sha Jing and Buddha Nanda to record the story of "Journey to the West", and it was not until he finished the two stories that Yang Zhi had some spare time, took Li Dayan and Ji Hong, accompanied by a soldier, out of the post house and walked around the street.

After all, it is the capital of Liao, the three main streets that run through the six gates are the main roads of the city, the post house is in the southeast corner, and the south gate street is out, the buildings and shops on both sides of the street are continuous, there are old and new, not as luxurious as Bianliang, most of them are practical, unpretentious wood and stone buildings, only the mansions of some nobles are brick walls. It's just that the sky is already dark, and the lights outside the post house are bright, and the seven-story south tower is lit with firelight.

The soldier accompanying Yang Zhi was named Xue Libao, about twenty years old, burly, one of the eight personal soldiers sent by Yelu Dashi to Master Tianxin, and he was a native of Shangjing. Xue Libao said that because there are not many shops in the imperial city, even the Khitan people like to visit Seoul, and most of the Khitan magnates have their own courtyards in Seoul, imitating the etiquette and style of the Han people at home.

Yang Zhizhi agreed,The change of living habits is actually an important process of sinicization,For the Hu people outside the Saiwai,Everything is based on interests,There are no permanent friends,There is no eternal enemy,Hatred between ethnic groups is often compromised because of reality,Liao's partition system is a specific and micro reflection。 The most powerful is naturally the Khitan, but for the Jurchen, Uighur, Han and other forces below, because the Han nationality has an advantage in population, it can maintain ties with the Central Plains in the south and become an indispensable helper of the Khitan people.

The streets were bustling and lively, men and women of all nationalities were rubbing shoulders one after another, and the flow of people was pouring in from all directions and then scattering in all directions; there were all kinds of restaurants, taverns, teahouses, and inns on the market, and when he walked to the crossroads, Xue Libao pointed to an all-wooden, three-story restaurant and said: "That is the Chishan Restaurant, one of the six major restaurants in Beijing, and the tables inside are all precious stones, and the chefs invited from Bianliang and Pyongyang have all brought wine from the Central Plains and the Western Regions." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and asked, "Brother Xue has been there?"

Xue Libao said embarrassedly: "I accompanied General Yelu to receive Chief Bed Gu'er from Heishui." ”

Yang Zhi said indifferently: "Then let's go up and sit down." ”
