Along the ice surface of the Yellow River, looking at the corpses that appeared on the ice from time to time, Gao Jianu's face sank like water. The surface of the ice melts during the day and freezes again at night, and after these days, the corpses are frozen together and it is extremely laborious to clean up. Gao Jianu's entourage still had the sadness of the rabbit and the fox at the beginning, and seriously pried the corpse up from the ice, and after two or three days, they were all lazy. In order to save effort, it is difficult to get up from the ice, so they only symbolically remove the clothes and then get some weeds from the shore to cover them.

Zhang Qi sat on the shore basking in the sun, watching the Khitan people busy on the ice below, looking relaxed. Of course, the Khitans were not allowed to move freely within the Song realm, so he brought a hundred people and followed the Gao Jianu movement. The Khitan people's actions were all in their eyes, and Zhang Qi only sneered. He could see that Gao Jianu was not a Khitan soldier after discovering that these were extremely perfunctory, but it was just for the sake of face and it was not good to brush his sleeves away.

The two Song soldiers looked at the river lazily, and one said: "These Khitans are lazy, and many of them don't clean up, leaving them on the ice and only covering them with weeds." Is this a liar? ”

Another said: "Isn't it a liar!" If you have a temper, go to them at night! ”

The two shook their heads together, and the previous one said: "Poor, many corpses are left on the surface of the river, and the fish in the river will not be eaten in the future." ”

Another said: "Why can't you eat it!" The Yellow River is frozen, and the carp here is famous for its deliciousness. I don't know how many people and livestock drown in such a big river every year, and there are not many of them, and the fish don't know either. ”

The Khitan people in the river are busy, the Song army on the river bank is lazy, and there is a strange atmosphere on this section of the river.

In the village, Yelu Buhua walked out of the residence, looked at the sun in the sky, and stretched beautifully. He participated in the negotiations as a representative of Xijing Province, and under the pretext that he did not go with Gao Jianu to deal with the affairs of the Khitans in Yongbian Prefecture. For those little things about the military state, Yelu Buhua has no interest, he is more concerned about whether he can find a chance to make a fortune.

Although the Khitan is a big country, there is still a big gap with the Song Dynasty in terms of material wealth, and the Khitan people are also high-ranking officials and extremely rich, and the Khitan people are shabby. Perhaps the land and gold and silver owned were not less than those of the Song Dynasty, but in terms of material and spiritual enjoyment, they were far from the same. Yelu Buhua was a person who had seen the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and he despised the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Khitan. On weekdays, there is nothing else to do except drink and eat meat, walk horses and shoot arrows, where are the members of the Song Dynasty who live exquisitely. And to live that kind of life, his current wealth is still not enough, and the things of the Song Dynasty are too expensive in the Khitan.

Yelu didn't spend money on the wrong village, just to find an opportunity to make a fortune. Not only to make money, but also to enjoy the exquisite life of the Song people.

After arriving at the back office and the public official reported, Yelu Buhua went to the partial flower hall and bowed to Du Zhongxiao.

The guests sat down and served tea, Du Zhongxiao said, "Lang Jun is doing well here?" ”

Yelu Buhua said: "I can eat and sleep, and I can get by." It's just a small border town, there is no place to relax, and it is a little boring. I heard that Dongjiazhai is prosperous and there is a field, if the army agrees, I will go there and walk there. ”

Du Zhongxiao pondered for a while before he said: "Dongjiazhai is a place of trade, and Lang Jun will also make it." It's just that I don't know when the Han envoy will come back, so it's a little inconvenient. If Lang Jun wants to buy something, he can send someone to Dongjiazhai, and I will send someone to escort him along the way. ”

Yelu Buhua was a little disappointed and shook his head: "The day before yesterday, the people I sent came back from Dongjiazhai, and when they talked about the excitement there, they wanted to go for a walk. What's the point if you can't go in person? That's it. ”

When the Khitan envoys come to the border, it is customary to do business privately. It's not just Yelu Buhua, it's the same with Gao's slaves. In the past few days, their families have been busy between Dongjiazhai and Yitou Village, doing some transactions and inquiring about the market, which is much busier than the officials who handle the affairs of the two countries.

Seeing that Yelu Buhua's expression did not seem to be fake, Du Zhongxiao's heart moved, and said: "The people sent by the Han envoy said that they had only traveled more than 20 miles on the Yellow River, and they had not yet traveled half of the way. After taking care of the ice surface of the Yellow River, there are still many people on the mountain path on the other side of the river, and they are all done, but I am afraid that it will take one or twenty days. I also have business to go back to Dongjiazhai to cook, why don't you stay there for a few days with Lang Jun? ”

Yelu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This is the best!" This village is in the wilderness, which is really stuffy! ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Okay, Lang Jun will go back and clean up, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

In the past few days, Du Zhongxiao also sent someone to touch the bottom of Yelu Buhua and Gao Jianu, and had a general understanding of these two people. Gao Jianu is the nephew of Han Derang, a Khitan minister, and the sixth son of Yelu Suizhong. Because he is not a descendant, he is more enthusiastic about his career, and he is the main official of the Khitan to deal with this incident.

Since the Han family was appreciated by the Khitan Taizu by its ancestors, it has gradually become noble in the Khitan, and it is the fifth generation of Gaojianu. Since the first generation of Han Zhigu, they have intermarried with the Khitans, using the Khitan language, starting from the father of the Gao slaves, and even mainly using the Khitan name, which is no different from the Khitans. By now, they are complete Khitans, and they are the nobles of the Khitan, second only to the royal family and the descendants.

In the upper echelons of the Khitan, from the Yelu royal family and the descendant Xiao clan down, many people have Khitan names and Han names, and many of them mainly use Han names. This is the influence of culture, just like Du Zhongxiao's previous life, many Chinese like to give a foreign name, and would rather use a foreign name than a Chinese name on formal occasions. However, in this era, in addition to their own names, the surrounding alien races will have a Chinese name, and the official occasion will use the Chinese name, which is a symbol of status. Because the Han family is originally Han, they all have Han names, and in turn with other Khitans, they all have Khitan names, and they are more and more accustomed to using Khitan names, and they don't see Han names on formal occasions.

What is cultural power? What name to use is the most obvious. Not only the Khitan, but also the surrounding alien races, people with status and status take the initiative to take the Han name and use the Han name, and take the initiative to sinicize. Just like the party, he was given the surname Li from the Tang Dynasty, and was given the surname Zhao after entering the Song Dynasty, and Yuan Hao rebelled against the Song Dynasty. In the history books of Xuexue, he is generally called Li Yuanhao, but in fact, Yuanhao has never been surnamed Li. He used to be called Zhao Yuanhao, Tuoba Yuanhao, and Wei Mingxiao, but he never used the name Li Yuanhao.

Yelu Buhua was born in the Yelu royal family, and unlike the Gao family slave who was given a surname, he was born genuinely. His father, Yelu Maliu, and his grandfather, King of Chu, were named kings. Yelu Maliu once served as the Xuanhui envoy of the Northern Court and the envoy of the Liaoxing Army, and was very much loved by the Khitan Emperor, who did not call him by his name, but called him a brother. Yelu Buhua has no interest in politics and just wants to make money. However, with his background, he has had an official position since he was a child, and he has been an idle official in Xijing Road.

Du Zhongxiao has already inquired that Kang Chengdong, who is in the fur business, is relying on the power of Yelu Buhua to control the fur business in the north. The fur yard in the state made Yelu Buhua earn countless money. Eating the marrow knows the taste, and the purpose of his coming here is clear.

After several years of war with the party, the savings of the Song Dynasty were exhausted, and the financial difficulties in the previous years were given. After the peace talks, there is an urgent need to recuperate. The Khitan defeated the party the year before last and faced the same dilemma. In the current situation, both the Song and the Khitan need peace between the two countries and slowly heal their wounds, and the covenant is more precious than other times. Don't talk about such a small matter as Yongbyon, no matter how big it is, it must be based on peace, sit down and talk slowly.

It is impossible to fight a big battle, after occupying Tanglong Town and rebuilding the partial head village, there is no reason to move troops in this area. The rest is only to develop border trade, and everyone can work together to make money with their own skills.

For Du Zhongxiao, Yelu Buhua is cuter than Gao Jianu, and he is the protagonist of this negotiation.
