"This Heshang City is right next to the mouth of the Great Liao Iron Horse, hasn't the Great Liao thought of plundering?"

The conversation between Brother Cha and Xiao Baoen continued, but the voices of the two became softer and softer, and the language used changed from Chinese to Khitan.

"Looting?" Xiao Baoen's voice did not move, but he thought in his heart: Plunder a fart! The three brothers Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Fengxian, and Xiao Sixian don't know how much they get from the Jiehe Commercial Market every year! Unless Song Liao tore his face and started a war, it would be impossible to plunder...... For the sake of Western Xia, it would be even more impossible.

Moreover, the Kereh tribe that has been blocking divination has been a little unpeaceful recently, and the son of Mogus, Kurzha Husi, has now sat firmly in the position of Khan, and is ready to raise troops and continue to work with Da Liao...... It's endless! Why can't these barbarians live a good life?

Brother Cha didn't know how capitalism corroded people's hearts, and he still gave Xiao Baoen advice on the side: "Now the Jiehe Commercial Market is very prosperous!" How can a businessman who buys and sells anywhere have hundreds of thousands of dollars in his account a year? Only 50,000 yuan was allocated to Daliao, is it too little?

If the Great Liao came to it with troops when the Northwest War arose, how could it also force the Jiehe Shang City to increase the tribute to the Great Liao? Adding 100,000 silver silk a year shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

Xiao Baoen nodded lightly, but thought in his heart: Xixia is poor in the end! The king's younger brother probably had never seen a lot of money, and he thought that 100,000 silver silk was a great amount of money...... In fact, the wealth of Jiehe Commercial City is beyond the imagination of these poor ghosts! The money in the treasury of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Boundary River alone is almost 100,000.

Can this be "a big soldier"? And plunder...... What if the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River is confiscated?

"In addition," said Brother Cha again, "my king is still very sincere about marrying Da Liao. If the daughter of the Great Liao Emperor can be channeled, then the two countries of Liaoxia will be able to fight against the Great Song Dynasty in the future...... Even if the Great Song Dynasty really has a heavenly khan, we are not afraid. ”

That's okay to consider! Xiao Baoen thought to himself: Although the Son of Heaven does not have a daughter suitable for marriage, but there are women in the royal family who can marry, just choose a beautiful princess to marry Qianshun, maybe you can bluff the Song people......

In short, just bluff, don't really fight.

Now there are a lot of troubles in the Great Liao Kingdom, not only is the Kereh Department in the northwest about to make trouble again, but the war between the Goryeo and the female straight people in the northeast is also on the way - whether it will be a defeat for both sides, or whether it will soon decide a Haidong overlord, who can say now?

Why does the Great Liao Kingdom have to put heavy troops on Tokyo Road, ready to stab the female straight in the back or rescue the female straight at any time, right?

In addition, there is also a big uncle, Xiao Haili, who also jumped out to cause chaos for some reason - this scourge has dozens of outlaws around him, who usually show off their might, rampage, extort rich people, and even kill people and set fires. The Liao court wanted to arrest him for questioning, but he actually gathered a crowd to revolt, pulled up thousands of people, and once captured Qianzhou in Liao, seized a large number of weapons and fled to the Shengnu Zhia Dian Department for refuge. He also sent someone to contact Wanyan Yingge, the leader of the daughter-in-law, to rebel together!

Fortunately, Wan Yan Yingge did not respond, and also expressed his willingness to help the Liao State crusade against this thief, and asked to recruit thousands of soldiers.

After weighing it repeatedly, Yelu Yanxi agreed to Yingge's request and asked Wanyan to purchase a thousand pairs of armor in Tokyo Road...... I don't know if with this thousand pairs of iron armor, can Wanyan destroy Xiao Haili and fight with the Koreans to break the net?

……

The aroma of rice and broth wafted over the forest-like capital of the powerful Goryeo at this time—this was not rice and broth for a few or two classes of nobles, but rice and broth for the hundreds of thousands of Goryeo soldiers gathered in Kaegyung!

If you stand on the tower of the palace of the full moon platform and look down, you can see the city of Nuoda, where smoke is curling everywhere, and countless large iron pots imported from the Great Song Dynasty are stewing the most popular broth of the Goryeo people - all kinds of meat, including wild boar, venison, dog and bear meat, tiger meat, mutton, and dog meat. But beef, horse, donkey, and human flesh are certainly not available. The above four animals are protected in the current Goryeo Kingdom, and they cannot be slaughtered and eaten for meat.

Plus, the rice is already cooked! It's not corn, it's real rice, and it's delicious! called a group of Goryeo soldiers and the elites of the Sixth Army who were waiting for the meal to drool.

Early tomorrow morning, it will be time for the army to go north to fight the Jurchen barbarians, so the king will be gracious and give the big guy a full meal. There's broth, there's rice, there's kimchi. Among them, the rice and kimchi are still filling.

What a blessing! Long live the king......

"According to the "Heavenly Principle", there is a heavenly principle first, and then there are all things in heaven and earth?"

"Exactly, everything comes from the principle of heaven, and there is only one principle of heaven for everything!"

"Then man was also created by heaven?"

"That's right! People are the primates of all things, and they are born out of heavenly principles. ”

"So do people have souls after death, and where do souls go?"

"Heaven and man are the same, all things in heaven and earth and man are unified in the principles of heaven, all are born from the principles of heaven, and finally return to the principles of heaven."

"That is, after death, the soul returns to heaven?"

"No, heaven and man are the same! Human beings originally exist in the principles of heaven, everything in the world originates from the principles of heaven, and people are part of the principles of heaven, and life and death are just different forms of existence. Therefore, people must act according to the principles of heaven and observe benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith......"

It was Wang Hao, the king of Goryeo, who was talking about the principles of heaven in the Tianmantai Royal City, and Su Shi, the envoy sent by the Yuntai Academy.

Today is the day when Wang Hao gave food and rewarded the three armies, and it was also the day to see off the Great Song Dynasty mission. Except for Tong Guan, the envoy of Guan Junrong, and some military attachés who followed him, the rest of the members of the mission will leave Kaijing this afternoon.

The departing members of the mission had two more destinations, and Liu Kui would lead most of the mission back to the Song Kingdom. And Su Shi will lead the rest of the people to Japan to spread Confucian principles!

went to Japan to preach the principles of heaven, but Wang Hao, Lin Gan, Yin Qian and other Goryeo monarchs and ministers who were familiar with Confucian classics were taken aback.

The arrogant barbarians of Japan have been closed to the country for almost 200 years, and the foreign envoys have been closed, and now they will accept the Confucian mission of the Song State to preach?

Driven by curiosity, Wang Hao and others asked for the "Heavenly Doctrine" like a delegation and went back to study.

After some research, the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were divided into two factions. Lin Gan, the squire of the Goryeo State who is about to lead the troops to the expedition, and Lin Gan, the secretary of the Privy Council, and Yin Qiang, the secretary of the Privy Council, all think that the "Heavenly Doctrine" is right!

There must be heavenly principles! There must be human desires, too!

If there is no heavenly reason, how can he become a noble courtier? If there is no desire, why would those untouchable soldiers shout long live for rice and broth? This is human desire! Aren't yellow rice (corn) and kimchi the same filling stomach? It's not much different from rice or broth, right?

Therefore, it is the principle of heaven that he should be a minister in two shifts, and his children and grandchildren will be in two shifts of ministers for generations! And the untouchables have to get rid of their desire to eat rice and broth, and they all farm and pay rent!

In addition, there are a bit more monks and nuns in Goryeo now! Occupy so much land and build so many temples...... Isn't that unreasonable? Shouldn't the temple be demolished, the land divided among the two classes of nobles, and the monks and nuns all returned to work?

However, the king of Goryeo, Wang Hao, did not believe in "The Theory of Heavenly Principles", so why should he destroy people's desires if he stored heavenly principles? Why is morality the principle of heaven? Why is "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith" the principles of heaven? Why can't my brother like my sister - of course, this is not the main reason why Wang Hao opposes "Tianli Shuo", because Wang Hao did not marry his sister, and his wife's surname is Liu.

But his throne was usurped! That's a lot of human desire! His nephew Wang Yu was a good king, who was overthrown by him in a coup d'état in collusion with Prime Minister Shao Taifu and General Wang Guochao, first he was set aside, and then forced to abdicate, and then he died in vain at the age of 14...... This is done unkindly, unjustly, rudely, and unbelievingly, and it must be against the principles of heaven.

Although Wang Hao didn't know how much incense he burned and how many scriptures he recited to make up for his sins. But if he wants to destroy the desires of men, and hand over the usurped throne, it will never be possible!

Therefore, Wang Hao still believes in Buddhism, and it is a big deal to build a few more pagodas and temples, and raise a few more monks and nuns to help chant scriptures.

However, Wang Hao, who didn't believe in "Tianli Shuo", didn't care too much about it.

And Wang Hao knew that Su Shi was Su Dongpo's nephew, and he also knew that Su Dongpo was now reused and became a deputy minister, so after asking a few words, he said to Su Shi: "Japan is a barbarian country, and its lord calls himself the emperor, and he is arrogant to the extreme. ”

"King Xie reminded that the little envoy understood."

Wang Hao nodded, "In this way, the widow sent Yin Yanchun (this person is Yin Hao's son and married Wang Hao's sister-in-law) to accompany you to Hakata in Japan." ”

"Thank you, little envoy, king."

Su Shi hurriedly thanked him.

In these days in Kaijing, he continued to spend money with his life, and made friends with a group of Goryeo officials. Among them is Yin Yanchun, the son of Yin Yanchun, and he also publicized the advantages of "Tianli Shuo" to Yin Yanchun, and persuaded Yin Yanchun to send his concubine to study in the Yuntai Academy in the Great Song Dynasty...... In short, he and Yin Yanchun have been good buddies for a long time, and they are not worried about encountering resistance from Yin Yanchun on the way south to Tamna Kingdom.

Moreover, when he left Haizhou, Wu Haogu had already taken care of it, and the Great Song Kingdom recognized 100% that Tamna belonged to Goryeo, whether it was a vassal or a county, the Great Song Dynasty did not ask.

The Great Song Dynasty only wanted to use Tamna as a springboard to enter Japan, and the Great Song Dynasty also welcomed Goryeo Confucian students and Dr. Great Song to complete the mission of spreading the Confucian Tao to Japan......
