In any case, the return of the sailboat this time was of some use. The more useful thing also made the Zhao Guan family feel lucky that these people had drifted so far and still managed to come back alive.
Even the great European geographical discoveries of later generations had to be backed by science and technology. Even the triangular sail was only recently developed here.
Although we missed the rich products of South America this time, it was a surprise to be able to bring corn back. Zhao Guan's family knew some agricultural knowledge. This corn also needs to be continuously domesticated before it can have such high yields as later generations.
The instructions told Sinong Temple to study it carefully.
At the same time, this incident was taken as an example, and the merchant and the sailors were greatly commended. At the same time, the slaves brought back naturally became good citizens and were used to encourage everyone to continue to develop overseas.
In view of the fact that the propaganda system of the Song Dynasty is now very developed, people in the southeast, northwest and northwest almost all know that there is such a vast land and population overseas before the New Year. Although most people can only imagine it, rather than being able to ride the wind and waves like maritime merchants,
But after all, a seed was planted.
When Yelu Dashi knew the news, it happened to be the New Year. He was already a little seriously ill at this time. The battle for the hegemony of the Western Regions ended with a great victory. The domestic foundation became more solid with the population sold by Zhao and Song. Everything was on the rise.
Moving in a good direction, except for his body.
There was no way, the pain of losing his country, and traveling thousands of miles away were too destructive to him. And everyone's physique is different, which caused him to get sick early. Now Queen Xiaota Buyan and several concubines do not shy away from suspicion and take turns serving him.
When meeting the minister, Xiao Heda happened to be reporting on the harvest situation in various places that day. He muttered unconsciously, "It's still too dry in the Western Regions. The grain seeds we brought cannot be planted, so we have to buy them from Zhao Song."
Although peace and good-neighborly friendship between the two countries have now been restored, Mr. Li Gang has never left. He always makes people feel a little angry, which really makes the officials who come into contact vomit blood.
Yelu Dashi also knew that these people had suffered a lot, so he could only sigh. "Can't you think of the good things? Can't the Hetian jade, Kugong melon (Hami melon), cattle, sheep and horses, which are special products of Daliao, be sold in Song Dynasty?"
Paying a high price can even be equal to the price of the population. This is a matter of mutual benefit. As for Li Gang... he is over sixty. In the past two years, the veteran ministers of Zhao and Song have died one after another. I am afraid that the officials and ministers of Zhao and Song will feel
I'm more looking forward to his early return than you and I, after all, this place is not as comfortable as Fujian." Besides, the head-butting incident has been going on for several years, and even though Li Gang unfortunately died in Lanzhou City, he has nothing to do with Xiliao.
In fact, Yelu Dashi really guessed it correctly. Hu Hongxiu and Liang Jiaying have advised Li Gang more than once to stop making trouble with Xiliao. If you push people too hard and cause a head-butt incident, we really can't bear it.
.
But the problem was that Li Gang was the senior among their seniors, no matter in terms of qualifications or education level. When he was in a hurry, he would even give him a lecture, which made everyone afraid to speak.
Xiao Heda really wanted to tell Yelu Dashi that Your Majesty, please feel the old man's temper and words, and you won't be so calm. But looking at His Majesty's deeply tired face and aging appearance, he finally said nothing.
.
If His Majesty hadn't worked hard to establish a foundation and gain a foothold, people like them, who had subjugated their country, wanted to be punished, but the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty could not give it to them.
On the other hand, Xiao Tabuyan, who was rubbing his temples with Yelu Dashi, said: "Your Majesty, what envoy Xiao Yuan said is quite reasonable. We already have too many supplies that Zhao Song has tied around our necks. Food is a matter of survival. We really should be self-reliant.
That's good. Take a look at the newspaper, it says that the Zhao Song family has found a new crop called corn. Why not just buy some back at a high price from this purchase and sale list and see if it can be planted."
If this had been said in the Zhao and Song Dynasty, even if it was said by the queen, the prime minister and censor would immediately jump out and accuse you of interfering in politics. But the problem is that the Khitan has this national tradition, and no one would think there is any problem at all.
Xiao Weilila, the king of the North Courtyard, arrived just in time. Hearing what the queen said, he saw that Yelu Dashi was thinking and had no intention of answering, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, although the official family of Zhao Song has formed an alliance with us, they also hope that we will be here."
The west is a barrier for him, but how can such important materials be given to us so easily? Who doesn’t look forward to having a country of brothers that can be taken care of at any time?"
When Yelu Dashi was alive, the relationship between the queen and the king of Beiyuan was still good. The two came from the same Xiao family and became in-laws, helping each other. Therefore, Xiao Ta didn't get angry after hearing what he said.
After pondering for a while, he said: "I think what King Xiao said is reasonable, but judging from these years, the Zhao Song officials always have a certain standard in their actions."
Yelu Dashi finally opened his eyes and said, "Queen, do you have any opinions? We are all members of our own family here, so we might as well talk about it." After that, he added, "Queen, please wait. Someone, go and find Yi Lie.
"
The eldest son of the two, Yelu Yilie, has long been named the prince. He is only 12 years old this year. Perhaps his mother was too busy when she was pregnant with him, so the child was a little thin when he was born. Now wearing a Khitan felt jacket, he still looks like a Han child.
.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Ambassador Yelu's eyes, but he covered it up well and signaled Xiao Ta to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Zhao Song certainly has his mind to manipulate us, and there is no need to deny this. But Zhao Song, an official, has very big plans, and he is not a short-sighted person. He needs us to be his northwest barrier, so we can't go too far.
Being stingy makes it impossible for us to gain a foothold in this place full of Turks. Otherwise, he would not have sold us tens of thousands of captives and family members of prisoners. Otherwise, in a land thousands of miles away in the Western Region, if there are people who are ignorant of etiquette and sinology, he would not dare to be so relieved.
I want to move the capital to control Huang, and also attack Jiaozhi. Therefore, I feel that he will help me wait for this matter that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood." Of course, it will definitely cost you some money, after all.
This official is really good at doing business. In the past few years that Xiao Ta has been involved in politics, he has become convinced of Zhao Guan's family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yelu Dashi breathed a sigh of relief, sat upright on the bed, and said: "That's right, everyone should draw up some urgently needed food lists as soon as possible. I will personally write to the Zhao official's family. Be sure to
Buy the grain before spring plowing. We still have water after all. I don’t believe that the God of White Horses and Green Oxes will abandon us Khitan people."
However, due to the distance problem, by the time Zhao Jiu received this letter, it would already be the twentieth day of the first lunar month of the coming year. Xiao Ta Buyan’s calculation was very accurate this time. Zhao Jiu wanted the Western Region to gradually become Sinicized and Confucianized.
If the third surnamed Ye Hu has conquered the world, it would be better to let Han Yue lead an army to fight over it.
Therefore, he crossed off a few important improved varieties according to the list and handed them to Yang Yizhong, saying: "Let the Agriculture Department and the Ministry of Revenue study these things, and if they are drought-resistant, send some to Xiliao.
"Yang Yizhong took the order and left.
Yan Xiaozhong, the censor Zhongcheng, was nearby at the time and couldn't help but said: "The official family is not of my race, and their minds must be different. I request that it be better to be more defensive against Xiliao."
"Xiantai is too worried." Zhao Jiu was not angry, and pushed a bowl of almond soup over to warm his stomach, saying: "I am not so stupid as to raise a tiger, but I have received letters from Li Qiong and Hu Hongxiu.
, I’m afraid Yelu Dashi’s illness is not cured. His son is only about ten years old now. I don’t want Xiliao to collapse so quickly. They have to give me at least another ten years in the Western Regions.”

Weibo TV King:
The recently aired "Jade to the West" is really the biggest liar of the year. The film is so good-looking, but how the male and female protagonists overcome difficulties and promote national integration and sweet love. In the end, it actually devotes a lot of space to talking about the various queens after the death of Yelu Dashi.
Conspiracies and schemes against the Song Dynasty. Song Shizu, who was always known for his lecherous nature, actually had a crush on her and was reluctant to do anything cruel to her. Go ahead, can you tell me more? The two of them have never met. Even if you tell me about Song Dynasty,
Shizu's lifelong crush on Yi An is more reliable than this.
This blogger announced that he has officially abandoned the drama. As a senior Song Zu fan, I can't stand this stimulation. I want to watch "Jian Yan Dynasty" ten times to wash my eyes.
Comment area
Honeymelon: What the hell! Song Shizu tolerated all the probing behaviors of Empress Xiao because maintaining that state in Western Liao was the most beneficial to the development of the Song Dynasty in the southeast. Even if he had no historical common sense, he couldn't fabricate it like this.
Men die under adulthood: Does the General Administration not care about it? Fictional history cannot be shown on the big screen. As a result, can this kind of history-making TV series be broadcast?
Fujian Good Tea: What’s even more devastating is that the patriotic hero Li Gang, the pride of our Fujian people, has actually become a villain. Not giving zero points is simply a disgrace to my ancestral home.
Mao Gen: The entire Hexi Corridor was recovered by Song Shizu... Forget it, form a group to play "Jianyan Dynasty".
