Han Qi still set off, because of the advance notice, when he entered the Liao army camp, he was not hindered.

After meeting Liao Xingzong, Liao Xingzong gave Han Qi a dismount, 500 knives and axes, and a snowy long knife, which seemed to have a strong killing intent.

Han Qi was not in a hurry, he dealt with it calmly, he also saw that Liao Xingzong was a strong outsider, if he wanted to kill him, he didn't need to ambush 500 axe men at all, was it really an acting act?

Han Qi's expectation was correct, Liao Xingzong couldn't kill Han Qi, especially when the Northern Song Dynasty had this record, how terrible the learning ability of the Northern Song Dynasty was.

Now, the power of the longbow shown, especially for the cavalry, even the heavy cavalry has lethality, this is the point, when the time comes, the overwhelming Northern Song Dynasty longbow, at this time, in angering the Northern Song Dynasty, this is an unwise choice.

Liao Xingzong also saw that after annexing Western Xia and getting the power of Western Xia, Liao needed to digest it slowly.

In Liao Xingzong's view, the Liao State itself is already strong enough, and if it annexes Western Xia, it will be even stronger.

The wealth of Western Xia also made the Liao State excited, except for a few places such as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it was really difficult to compare with the Hetao Plain in other places.

The Hetao Basin is one of the few places in central China where grain can be grown without the need to renovate and build large-scale farmland and water conservancy facilities.

In every dynasty, a powerful nomadic people rise here.

However, Liao Xingzong would not have thought that his victory over Western Xia was not a fragrant dumpling, but a pit.

In Xingqing Mansion, because of Yuan Hao's quick decision and quick escape, Liao Xingzong did not take Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao is also a short-lived one, in history, a few years later, because of his lust, after he took down his daughter-in-law, he was attacked by the crown prince, and he didn't even have his nose, so he died of serious injuries.

In this era, he is only 41 years old, physically strong, and he is a fierce general, and he is in the prime of life, even if he dies in 4 states, but the foundation is still there, and he is slowly accumulating strength with the help of the remaining states.

Yuan Hao is a genius general, and his ruthlessness is higher than Liao Xingzong imagined.

In itself, as the emperor of Western Xia, he has to take into account the perspective of Western Xia when he does some things, and it is impossible to do everything, but now, putting aside the identity of the throne of Western Xia, and falling to the whole extent now, for him, there is nothing that cannot be done, there is nothing that cannot be done, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Now, Yuan Hao is planning an action, an action to attack thousands of miles and smash Huanglong, and it will really be at that time that Liao Xingzong will suffer a big loss.

The current Liao Xingzong did not pay attention to Yuan Hao at all, or rather, he did not attach importance to it, and he did not reach a certain status, and the land lost 8 percent, or the most elite and richest, it stands to reason that even if it is a steady development, it will take a few years, or even more than ten years, and when they have the strength to fight back, it is another matter.

After going through the dismount, it was natural for Han Qi to talk about the problem of mutual markets.

Liao Xingzong and Xiao Hui changed their eyes, before, Xiao Hui also mentioned this aspect, in the two countries, the mutual market is a foundation, and there are also in Hebei, mainly some valuable treasures and medicinal materials, Baozhou is an important and important distribution center.

I thought that Han Qi was also proposing something similar, Xixia is also very broad, in Xixia's understanding, he didn't even recognize all the food crops, let alone the more uncommon herbs, these things, born and long, just grow on the grassland in vain, and there is no way to exchange them for money.

"Very good, I agree to the mutual market, just around Xingqing Mansion, but the specific things, it depends on what you talk about next!" Liao Xingzong's expression was very flat, whether it was a mutual market or not, it was up to him, the emperor, to decide, in principle, Liao Xingzong agreed, but what was the mutual market needed to be discussed.

I thought that this meeting was about to end, but Han Qi took the initiative to step forward and raised a horse transaction question.

This is not a problem that ordinary ministers can solve, it is related to some of the policies of the Liao State, this problem can only be decided by Liao Xingzong, and Liao Xingzong immediately refused.

A Northern Song Dynasty that had no horses and developed heavy infantry into a core force, because of the appearance of an archer, it was completely changed, and it had the degree of heavy cavalry that threatened him.

Liao Xingzong's sudden refusal was expected for Han Qi, and it was only by not refusing that it was a problem.

The Liao State and the Western Xia controlled the inflow of horses for a long time, which not only caused a sharp decrease in the number of various horses in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also affected agricultural production.

In the Tang Dynasty, even in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the horse-drawn plough that developed rapidly is almost rare now, and some peasants, let alone can't afford it, even if they can't afford it.

Even if under the premise that the Northern Song Dynasty has an advantage, rashly raising such a question, it will be met with a strong backlash from the Liao State, Liao Xingzong's attitude goes without saying, and Xiao Hui next to him is even more so, he is afraid that Liao Xingzong will agree to this, and tell Han Qi loudly that it is impossible.

"Is it really impossible?" Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "What if I take the iron material in exchange?" ”

Iron material, Xiao Hui's eyes twitched suddenly, even Liao Xingzong was no exception, Liao Xingzong, who was lying down, suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes kept looking at Han Qi, for fear that he had heard something wrong.

If it is said that the Liao State and the Western Xia Dynasty controlled the Northern Song Dynasty mainly on large livestock such as horses, even if they reduced a lot of financial revenue because of this, they did not hesitate to do so, the Northern Song Dynasty mainly controlled salt and iron tea.

In particular, iron, salt and tea, which are necessities for nomads, salt can strengthen the health of the body and is conducive to healthy growth, and the same is true for tea, which can digest and consume excess protein and is not easy to form food accumulation.

These two are subtle effects, there is no and is not without other alternatives, such as salt, green salt from Western Xia, in terms of effect, it is much better than the salt of the Northern Song Dynasty, and tea can also be obtained from other channels.

However, iron, this is a problem that cannot be solved, although there is also iron smelting in Liao, but the quality cannot be compared with the Northern Song Dynasty.

Liao Xingzong didn't even bother to communicate with Xiao Hui, looked directly at Han Qi, and asked with concern: "Is it really iron, can iron also be involved in the transaction?" ”
