At the banquet, Yang Jiulang met the Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen for the first time, he was still a young man of twenty-five or six years old, and he welcomed Yang Jiulang's arrival very much, and the ministers did not mind, because the Liao State admired heroes, whether they were native or enemy.
When all the diplomatic orders were finished, Yang Jiulang spoke,
"The main purpose of Jiuyang's visit this time is to end the hostility between the two countries, because the war, the damage to both sides is so great, I won't say much, if the two countries can become friendly countries, they can love each other like brothers, and make every effort to develop people's livelihood, it is a good thing for both sides, the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty, you don't have to doubt, I have seen the situation in Liao, in order to show my sincerity, I will return to Tokyo tomorrow, let the emperor of the Song Dynasty, first lend Liaoguo 100 million catties of grain, in order to solve the current urgent need, even if I can save one more Liaoguo people, and wait for me to transport the grain, let's talk about howThe Emperor of Liao immediately stood up and saluted Yang Jiulang,
"Then thank you Lang envoy, tomorrow I will ask the second emperor brother to send you out of the Black Mountain Pass and wait for your arrival in place."
Ten days later, Yang Jiulang took 100 million catties of grain to the Black Mountain Pass, handed over the grain to the transport team led by the second emperor brother, and sent the Song Dynasty convoy back, and returned to the palace with Yelu Qiba.
When Yang Jiulang spoke,
"The weather in Liao is cold, and the grain can only be collected once a year, and if you want to be able to catch it, it will take at least five months, so I asked the emperor to prepare another billion catties of grain and transport it in batches, and lend it to the Liao State to tide over the difficulties, but I don't want interest, but the capital has to be returned, right?", who can object to the matter?
"Thank you Lang envoy", the emperor spoke first,
"As for how to hand over the grain and how to repay the money to the Great Song Dynasty, I want to stay here for a few more days, talk privately with the emperor and a few ministers, and then go back to report to the Song Emperor after the discussion, so that there will be no war between the two countries from now on, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as accumulating a little yin virtue for my children and grandchildren", everyone was greatly moved, and all replied with applause.
