Fu Zun shook his head and said: "No, the Khitan people eat cattle and sheep, and they mainly rely on pastures, if it is only rice grain, even the sixteen states of Yanyun can barely provide it, why bother with this trouble, it is cheap for nothing; ”

Fu Zun's words alluded to Yang Zhi's ill-intentioned intentions, and Yang Zhi shook his head helplessly and said: "With the current combat strength of Da Liao, competing for pastures with the Jurchens is taking the initiative to consume one's own combat power and losing one's vital strength one by one. For now, the population of Liao is still larger than that of Jin, and I am afraid it is also the last advantage. ”

Fu Zun was stunned, how could he say it so bluntly, fighting a war is like doing business, there are always profits and losses; Emperor Tianzuo smiled instead, and said: "Yang Zhi, I hope you are not talking on paper, the national teacher and Yelu Dashi both recommend you, you follow Master Tianxin to Zhongjing to assist Yelu Chun, as long as you make a difference, I promise you, give you a thousand horses to make capital, and go to Nanjing to do business." ”

Brother Temu understood that after hearing that Yang Zhi was interested in business, Emperor Tianzuo had already made a plan, that is, to see if God really sent a talent to Da Liao, Brother Temu shouted: "Yang Zhi, don't thank you yet." ”

Anyone could see that Yang Zhi was a thousand reluctant, but Yang Zhi finally knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. Yelu Yu opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but Fu Zun laughed and said to Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhi, so the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they do. The North Courtyard is in Zhongjing, which day is convenient, let's take some time to chat. ”

In front of the emperor, dare to speak so casually, it is definitely not an ordinary person, Yang Zhi saw that Emperor Tianzuo did not have any unhappy reaction, and hurriedly agreed; Emperor Tianzuo signaled Yang Zhi to go out temporarily, Yang Zhi finished saluting, or Brother Special Mother led Yang Zhi out of Luoyang Palace, and when he arrived outside the palace gate, Brother Special Mother gave Yang Zhi a waist card for walking at night, and said expressionlessly: "Wait here, after the emperor finishes reading the knife, you can go back and sleep well." ”

Yang Zhi thanked him, knowing that looking at the knife was an excuse, if Emperor Tianzuo really had this hobby, the first time was to appreciate the treasure knife, and now it should be to discuss how to settle himself, after all, he had just arrived in Liao, and he had not made an inch; ”

Brother Temu returned to the imperial study, and Emperor Tianzuo asked, "What is the boy's reaction?"

"It's normal. Brother Temu said suspiciously: "It seems that I don't pay attention to earning this." ”

Fu Zun said: "This is normal, since he can escape to Daliao, he must have made all kinds of calculations in his heart, forcing him to be an official should be a kind of predictability, and the key now is what kind of official position is appropriate." ”

Yes, Emperor Tianzuo also came back to his senses and blamed: "Fu Zun, if you don't say it earlier, I'll just make an official." ”

Brother Temu and Yelu Yu both shook their heads, almost covering their faces with their hands, the Jin soldiers were tired, after temporarily retiring from Xianzhou, Emperor Tianzuo resumed his old safari, and now he even cares about seeing a person;

"The knife is good, you will return it to Yang Zhi tomorrow. Emperor Tianzuo didn't care about the sword, and lost interest after reading it once, Brother Temu answered: "The resentful army has been defeated, but the establishment is still there, it is better to let Master Tianxin come forward to appease, and Yang Zhi will serve as an officer of the resentful army." ”

Fu Zun's face turned white, Brother Temu, this is really a bad idea, and it is also a good idea. After the rise of the Jin State, the Khitan nobles and troops in Liaodong fled one after another, and the people of Liaodong became refugees, were displaced, and took refuge in the army. Therefore, the Liao army organized eight battalions of the resentment army, with a total of more than 28,000 people, but the imperial uncle Yeluchun led the resentment army and did not issue winter clothes in the cold winter, resulting in a riot of the resentful army, and the leader Wu Chaoyan was punished on the spot. However, the resentful army lost its fighting spirit and was defeated in a battle in Shenzhou, although it successively gathered 5,000 remnants, but Yeluchun did not believe them, the supply was insufficient, and Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, turned a blind eye.

Yang Zhi and Master Tianxin offended Xiao Fengxian, if they could retrain the resentful army, then Yang Zhi's ability would definitely be among the famous generals; Emperor Tianzuo immediately issued an order, Master Tianxin and Yelu Nei Thorn served as the chief and deputy commander of the resentment army, and Yang Zhi served as the commander of the resentful army, and transferred to Zhongjing Dading Mansion to listen to it; Emperor Tianzuo saw that Fu Zun had finished preparing the decree and said: "Tell Yelu Nei Thorn that Yang Zhi will not participate in commanding the army for the time being, give Yang Zhi 300 people, and let Yang Zhi be responsible for the merchant group with the army, raise food and grass, and the most important thing is cotton clothes in winter." ”

Fu Zun hurriedly agreed, Emperor Tianzuo is indeed smart, and he saw the value that Yang Zhi can squeeze the most at present, doesn't Yang Zhi want to do business, give you the merchant group, as long as the grain, grass, cotton and clothing of more than 5,000 people in the army are solved, it will be a great achievement;

Waiting for Fu Zun and Brother Temu to go out to announce the decree, Emperor Tianzuo said to Yelu Yujian: "You told the King of Jin that after he arrived in Zhongjing, he would keep an eye on Yang Zhi and see how the Song people did these things, and he could directly take ideas about some things." ”

Yelu Yujian was the brother-in-law of Yelu Aolu, the king of Jin, and a staunch supporter of Yelu Aoluhu, who immediately guessed the meaning of Emperor Tianzuo, and immediately went to the Jin Palace's palace to meet Yelu Aoluhu. Yelu Ao Lu Hu was reading a book in the study, and when he heard what his family said, he hurriedly came to see Yelu Yujian. Yelu Ao Lu Wei is in his thirties, nine feet long, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, not handsome, but he has the momentum of pine and cypress, but his eyes are a little tired, and he wears a scholar's robe.

After hearing Yelu Yu see the whole content, Yelu Ao Lu smiled and said: "My father's idea is right, although the Song people's combat effectiveness is poor, their means of grain transportation and material collection are indeed clever, otherwise it is impossible to maintain the war in Western Xia." But Yang Zhi is really suitable for business?"

Yelu Yu nodded with satisfaction, Yelu Ao Lu Hu was more meticulous in strategy than Emperor Tianzuo, and analyzed to the best of his own knowledge: "I am very interested in this Yang Zhi, this person is very smart, and his martial arts are superb, he understands that if he steps into the officialdom in the Liao Kingdom, it will be his weakness, and he will be framed by Xiao Fengxian at any time; ”

Yelu Ao Lu Hu also understood people, and said indifferently: "If this is the case, as long as you control Yang Zhi's money." When I arrived in Zhongjing, I just followed Yang Zhi and watched him do things, and if Yang Zhi was really a talent, even if he did something out of the ordinary, I would consider it as appropriate. ”
