The people of the Protectorate of the Western Regions still embarked on the road to the west. Yelu Dashi, who was determined not to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, judged the situation after his anger subsided, and chose to form an alliance again to carve up Khwarezm.
In this way, he would have sufficient troops and time to deal with the Seljuk Empire.
Khwarezm in the east has concentrated their main troops, and it is not that easy to fight.
For a long time, the Turks were a behemoth that could not be matched by the Khitans. In the early Tang Dynasty, the eight Khitans combined could only pray for the protection of the Turks.
The covenant between Yelv Dashi and the Song people was very simple. The Song Dynasty would not send troops to protect Khwarazm, and the Western Regions Protectorate would not go westward to take the land of Khwarazm, but the Liao people must ensure the smooth flow of this trade route.
Yelu Dashi immediately agreed. The newly established Daliao needed to develop, and these merchants who connected the east and west would bring high income to his court.
The Western Region Protectorate's top priority is to ensure smooth trade routes. As for expanding the territory to the west, it is currently not within the plan, because the battle line is too long, and some gains outweigh the losses.
After Yelu Dashi conquered so much territory, he was not in a hurry to continue expanding, but instead exchanged envoys with neighboring countries in all directions.
After all, the Liao people were still small, so it was not the time to go to war. It was not too late to fight after being together for ten years.
Now that it has just established a firm foothold, if it continues to expand blindly, it will inevitably trigger a unanimous crusade from all countries.
Nowadays, the Jurchens are taming the Mongolian tribes, and many clan leaders have been beheaded for no reason. Mongolian tribes who cannot stand the oppression have fled to the Liao Dynasty to join their old masters.
Yelu Dashi was overjoyed and gave them the same status as the Khitans, and gave them fertile pastures. He incorporated the young men of these tribes into the army and scattered them among the Liao army camps. It was strictly forbidden for any Khitan soldiers to discriminate against the Mongols.
Mongolians from several tribes were grateful and willing to die for Yelu Dashi.
Starting from the Caucasus Mountains in the north, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and the Caspian Sea in the east, the Liao Empire gradually gained a firm foothold.
Standing in Fuliao City, Yelu Dashi recalled the hardships at the beginning and couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that keeping a business is really more difficult than starting a business.
The general trend is here, and everything is going smoothly and everything is going smoothly.
Once a dynasty falls into the doom of the dynasty, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to turn the tide——
At the Port of Michigan, a red shirt stands out even more at the port, shining brightly among the crowd.
Yang Lin was on a patrol, and Xu Yuenu, who was extremely bored, went back to her parents' home from Bianliang. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she met Yang Lin, who was taking a boat from Korea to return to Mizhou Port.
Xu Jin looked at his smiling daughter, who was taller than the men present and had a heroic appearance. He couldn't help but secretly muttered, this daughter of his own must not inherit all the legacy of the old Xu family. How come her brother is like this?
Frail and sickly.
Alas, a married girl will give birth to a child named Yang soon. Isn't this giving an advantage to outsiders?
Xu Yuenu felt her father's eyes, and thought it was her old father's affectionate expression. After being embarrassed, she felt warmly moved, and asked for the first time: "Dad, it's windy here, why don't you go back, Miao'er and I
Wait here."
Xu Jin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Finally, the sails in the distance were exposed to the horizon, and groups of ships came slowly. People on the shore came forward and stood on tiptoe to watch.
Xu Yuenu jumped and waved, regardless of whether the people on the other side could see or not. After the ship approached the port, Yang Lin on the deck finally disembarked.
He looked at Xu Yuenu's familiar figure and was a little surprised. He quickly jumped down and said, "Why are you here?"
"You didn't expect it, did you?" Xu Yuenu's beautiful eyes flashed, she smiled sweetly, and giggled.
Next to them, Xu Jin and Xu Zhihui looked at each other, knowingly led the welcoming team and left.
Yang Lin quickly took Xu Yuenu over and said hello with a smile.
Xu Zhihui returned the courtesy and said: "Young Zai, the lower officials and others are holding a banquet in the city. I wonder if the Young Zai will reward you."
"Haha, we are all our own people. What are you doing out there like this?" After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Yuenu and asked, "Will you go with me?"
Xu Yuenu hummed sweetly, which made Xu Jin feel sour in his heart. His daughter was a domineering figure at home, but she didn't expect to be so gentle in front of others.
Banqiao Town, because it is close to Michigan Port, has recently become a prosperous town.
There are many restaurants and shops on the street, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
Nowadays, at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the warblers are flying and the grass is growing. The city is full of lakes and mountains, and the city is full of people and bustling people. It looks like a small Bianliang, which makes people feel good.
Especially Yang Lin, who had just witnessed the poverty of Goryeo, strengthened his belief that the New Deal would be carried out to the end. If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong.
The most lavishly decorated restaurant among them had indeed already prepared wine and food, including seasonal vegetables and delicacies from the sea.
After Yang Lin sat down, Miao'er, who was standing behind him, kept serving dishes to him and Xu Yuenu.
Yang Lin asked: "Prefect Xu, please send me the official document book of Mizhou later. If you have any difficulties with the new policy, you can tell me quickly. There is no single decree that is perfect from the time it is issued, that is, it is suitable for all
We are also crossing the river by feeling the stones in the region, and we must constantly summarize and improve."
The Xu family is different now. The last time Yang Lin came, he and the Xu family were still enemies. Now Yang Lin is the Xu family's biggest supporter. Ever since his uncle used some method to completely reconcile with Yang Shaozai, he still has this tree on the list.
After the big tree, the career of the children of the Xu family became relatively stable.
In order to reciprocate the favor, Xu Zhihui also worked hard to run around in Michigan for Yang Lin's new policy.
In just half a year, he visited almost every county in Mizhou and brutally killed dozens of families of gentry. He showed no mercy in his actions and caused a wave of disturbance in Mizhou.
Now when talking about political achievements, he felt quite proud and said with a smile: "With the cooperation of good gentlemen like Xujiazhuang, and the guidance and support of Governor Wen of Shandong Road, there are no difficulties that the New Deal cannot overcome in Michigan.
Please take it easy, Mr. Zai."
Yang Lin knew this well, and the envoys he sent from various places continuously sent intelligence from various places to him every day.
Mizhou did really well. It was one of the top state capitals in the entire Song Dynasty. Yang Lin asked some more about the shipyard. Only then did Xu Jin have the opportunity to interject, and he spoke eloquently.
Xujiazhuang is no longer short of money, and they no longer smuggle. Now that the process is there, it is impossible to smuggle as before.
Almost all of Xujiazhuang's energy is devoted to the shipyard, which is simply a paradise for shipwrights.
Not only are the wages high, but there are also various preferential treatment. Those who have made achievements in ship construction will be given a house where they can settle down and buy land.
Xu Jin talked eloquently, which made Yang Lin's heart move and he wanted to go and take a look.
While everyone was chatting happily, a man came in from the moon gate of the small courtyard, lowered his head and said: "Young Master, Goryeo sent someone to tell you that one hundred thousand civilians have gathered and asked us if we can send a ship to meet them."
Nowadays, the Yalu River area is the Jurchens' sphere of influence. Yang Lin nodded and said: "Let the Chenghai navy travel day and night to transport them to Tianjin Port."
"Also, as long as these people work well and can take care of the food, they should also be given some labor money."
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Yang Lin smiled and said: "Abolition of corvee is the top priority of the New Deal. Although these Koreans are just subjects of the vassal, they can be regarded as bathing in the favor of our Song Dynasty. Let them feel it too.
Suddenly, the spring breeze of the New Deal."
Since Goryeo invested so much labor, a lot of farm work in the country would have to be wasted during the transition from spring to summer.
This is also a small country based on agriculture. There is no need to make people angry. Anyway, it saves a lot of money. According to the new corvee law of the Song Dynasty, if these civilians are all conscripted people of the Song Dynasty, the court's expenses will be
Big.
Nowadays, you have to pay money to work for the imperial court, and each one will get a lot of money. But to use Goryeo civilian servants, you only need to pay them a small salary and then take care of the food.
The officials present all praised Yang Shaozai for his benevolence and righteousness, but he just smiled softly.
After the banquet, Yang Lin went directly to the Xu family's small manor near the sea.
Everything is still the same here. Xu Yuenu pushes open the door and opens the window, and can see the sea below the mountain.
Miaoer was happily cleaning and wiping back and forth, while Xu Yuenu lay in Yang Lin's arms, listening to him tell interesting stories about Goryeo.
Suddenly Yang Lin rolled his eyes, looked at Xu Yuenu's towering peaks, and said with a smile: "Miao'er, I got that small box back. It's a gift from me. Hurry up and get it to me."
When Miao'er heard this, she jumped up and down holding the box and asked with a smile: "What kind of gift is it?"
Yang Lin chuckled. After opening it, it looked like two hairpins.
If you look closely, you can see that they are two clips. The workmanship is very fine and the materials are made of gold.
Yang Lin stepped forward with a smile, took off their tops, and looked at the two buds maliciously.
Xu Yuenu spat, then understood, and said coquettishly: "I don't want any obscene things."
Miao'er suddenly scratched her armpits, grabbed the young lady's arms from behind, and said with a sweet smile: "Dalang, I've got her, come and treat her quickly."
Xu Yuenu was angry and ashamed. She wanted to struggle but was afraid of hurting her personal maid.
The sea breeze blew slowly, and the sound of play in the room gradually changed its flavor.
