The place where Song Liao's two envoys stayed was not in the small and dilapidated city of Haizhou. The opening of the capital of Goryeo is also similar to a forest park, and there are wild boars and big bad wolves everywhere in the city from time to time, so you can imagine what Haizhou is like.

Of course, there are no wild boars and wolves in Haizhou City. Haeju City is not that large, with a total of two or three streets and a circle of earthen walls, which is the most prosperous commercial city in Goryeo......

The tax office of Haizhou City was originally in this small ruined city, but after Wu Yanzhong contracted the Haizhou tax office to the Song people to pay off the arrears of the weapons transaction, the "tax official" of the Song State from Jiehe Shang City moved the tax customs office from Haizhou City to Haizhou Port. He also enclosed a plot of land near the port of Haeju and built a new tax official yamen that was absolutely magnificent by the standards of Goryeo.

This yamen can be regarded as the best house in the whole Haizhou, large, spacious and luxurious, all kinds of furnishings and objects in it, and even the maids of the subordinates, are all transported from the Jiehe merchant market, and the renovation is much more magnificent than the mansions of the prime ministers of the Goryeo state. And there are strong walls and moats around the houses - the houses of the great families of the Goryeo kingdom have high walls and moats, like castles. Therefore, the Song and Liao missions that arrived in Haizhou simply moved into this newly completed tax customs yamen.

Within a few days of the two delegations staying in this customs office, Wu Yanzhong, the privy deputy envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, took the accompanying delegation to Haizhou City, and also met the envoys of the Song and Liao countries who were close to each other for the first time.

"Wu Shuxiang, I can't hide it, this time this envoy and Xiao Zheng's envoy and Ma Deputy Envoy of the Great Liao Kingdom are visiting Goryeo for the same purpose."

After a pleasantry, Su Shi, who had crossed paths with Wu Yanpet, got straight to the point and began to explain his intentions with Xiao Delisi and Ma Zhi.

Su Shi said: "This purpose is to help the Goryeo Kingdom!" ”

Are you here to help?

Wu Yanpet looked at Xiao Delisi and Ma Zhi who were wearing Khitan robes, these two and the two Song envoys were sitting in the same hall today, drinking wine and reciting poems together...... Was the relationship between Song and Liao so good?

"Yes," Ma Zhi took over the topic, "the Emperor of Great Liao was very surprised to hear that the tens of thousands of troops of the Goryeo Kingdom had been defeated by hundreds of horsemen of the Birth Daughter. Therefore, he sent an envoy to discuss with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to help the Goryeo Kingdom and save it from being ravaged by barbarians. ”

In fact, in the eyes of Goryeo, the Khitans are also barbarians! However, the Khitans themselves did not admit it. They thought that they were Chinese orthodoxy and always wanted to be commensurate with the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Wu Yanpet was stunned and stunned, looked at Ma Zhi and asked, "Could it be that the kingdom wants to send troops to help?" ”

Da Liao Zheng Xiao Deli shook his head and said with a smile: "Wu Shuxiang, the birth of a daughter is also my Da Liao vassal country, they don't have any disrespect, and this time the battle of Lazy Dian was also provoked by you Gaoli...... Doesn't the northern border of Goryeo end at the Great Wall? ”

"The envoy means...... The Son of Heaven does not allow our country to send troops across the thousand-mile Great Wall? ”

The relationship between Daliao and Goryeo was not equal, but between the monarch and the servant. If Goryeo hadn't been slammed by hundreds of female direct cavalry, it might have been able to resist a bit.

Now, as long as the Great Liao State gives an order, the Goryeo Kingdom can only admit it. Yin Qiang's plan to strengthen the army can only be in vain.

"No, no."

Ma Zhi smiled: "That's not what the Son of Heaven meant, otherwise he wouldn't have sent us to help Goryeo." ”

"Oh......" Wu Yanpet nodded.

He already understood. The Son of Heaven of the Great Liao Kingdom must have felt that giving birth to a daughter is too powerful! Now that the Goryeo Kingdom has lost its temper, it will attack Da Liao in the future. That's why the Liao State will help the Goryeo Kingdom, hoping to use the Goryeo Kingdom to contain the birth of a daughter. However, this matter cannot be said explicitly, otherwise there will be no place for the face of the Great Liao Kingdom.

"Then the Great Song Dynasty wants to ......" Wu Yanzhong was a little confused about the intention of the Great Song envoys.

Da Song should want to recover Yanyun! Then they should contact Qiang is daughter now, instead of coming to help Goryeo with Da Liao.

No matter how hard Goryeo tries to govern, it is impossible to destroy the daughter, at most it is to take a part of the lazy and save a little face.

For the Great Song Dynasty, the value of the Goryeo Kingdom was not at all comparable to that of the powerful daughters......

Su Shi said with a smile: "This envoy and Deputy Envoy Su are here, of course, to help Goryeo, Goryeo is a state of etiquette, and it is also a vassal of my Great Song Dynasty friendly state Da Liao, we should work with Da Liao to help Goryeo resist the female barbarians."

In addition, in order to marry Princess Cheng'an of the Great Liao for King Xiping, our dynasty has given the tax collection rights of the Goryeo Haeju Tax Customs and the Busan Tax Customs to the Liao State as a dowry gift. This time......"

"What's the hell!?"

Wu Yanpet is not stupid, and he immediately heard that something was wrong.

There is nothing in the hands of the Haeju tax customs and the Busan tax customs to the management of the Great Song Dynasty. The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were weak, and they couldn't reach Goryeo, so it actually meant to give them tax customs...... lest people say that the Goryeo Kingdom is in debt. But now Da Song actually handed over these two customs to Da Liao! This can make the country of Goryeo miserable.

The Liao State is going to get stuck in these two tax customs, do the merchants of Goryeo still dare not pay taxes?

In addition, the customs can be stationed with a little armed tax collector! Now the Song Kingdom's Jiehe City Bosi has placed dozens of armed tax collectors in Haeju and Busan, and the Goryeo Kingdom naturally does not exist as if they did not exist. But if you want to change to Liao soldiers, the Goryeo people still have to be afraid!?

"This time the envoy came to deliver the two customs to the Great Liao State." Su Shi smiled, "Wu Shuxiang, I think you Goryeo Kingdom won't object to this, right?" ”

Ma Zhi took over the topic and said with a smile: "I, the Emperor of Daliao, heard that you need war horses, and I am going to give 1,000 good horses to Goryeo...... It will be delivered soon. In addition, Da Liao will also send horsemen to teach kung fu in Goryeo. With just two tax customs, you Goryeo won't want to take it back, right? ”

"No, no, no......" Cold sweat broke out on Wu Yanpet's forehead. The matter of using taxes to compensate for the purchase of weapons was proposed to the king of Goryeo. Now that the Great Liao Kingdom is going to squeeze in, the king won't be angry, right?

Ma Zhi said again: "My Da Liao Tianzi thinks that more than ten years is a bit short, so it is better to extend the time for tax transfer a little, how about 100 years?" ”

100 years? Wu Yanpet opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Dries said with a smile: "By the way, I also want to rent 10,000 acres of land near Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass to open two small commercial markets...... Of course, we'll pay the rent. ”

Lease land to open a commercial market?

Wu Yanpet listened to the conditions of the Liao envoy, and immediately had a sense of absurdity. What do the Liao people want to do? Is it trying to invade Goryeo? But how many soldiers can be stationed in two tax customs and two 10,000-acre commercial markets? Thousands of people died, right? How could it be possible to swallow the Kingdom of Goryeo with this little force?

Could it be that the soldiers and horses of Da Liao are now as powerful as the soldiers who gave birth to daughters?

Thinking of this, Wu Yanpet's head shook like a wave drum.

"No, no, Haizhou definitely can't!" Wu Yanpet said, "Haizhou is the gateway to Beijing, and it is absolutely impossible to open a commercial market!" ”

This answer was actually expected by Su Shi and Ma Zhi. When they were in Jiehe Commercial City, they had already discussed it with Wu Haogu repeatedly.

Su Shi and Ma Zhi glanced at each other, and Ma Zhi said: "Then it is always okay to rent 20,000 acres of land in Busan and open a business market specializing in trading with Japan, right?" ”

……

Kaijing, the royal palace, Linchuan Pavilion.

"The king, the minister thinks this matter is very suspicious, maybe there is a conspiracy in it, and he must not agree to them!"

Wu Yanzhong, who returned from Haizhou, was reporting to Wang Hao, the king of Goryeo, about the situation of negotiations with the envoys of the Liao and Song dynasties at this time, and when it came to the issue of the "Liao Concession", he did not wait for Wang Hao to raise a question, so he gave a suggestion first-this matter is too strange! The Khitans didn't know how to do business at all, so how could they want a trading market where they could do business with the Japanese? So you have to skim yourself off at the first time.

"Yin Qing," Wang Hao asked Yin Qian who was present with a frown, "What do you think?" ”

"The commercial market in Busan shouldn't be what the Khitans want, right?" Yin Qian pondered and said, "Even if the Khitans can station some soldiers and horses there, it is impossible for them to attack Kaijing from Busan." ”

"It's better to call from Baozhou in the north!" Wang Hao said.

"Maybe," Wu Yanzhong already had beads of sweat on his forehead, "Chen guessed that this might be the Song Kingdom's coastal city shipping department making trouble." ”

He is a member of the Wu family in Haizhou, and he knows some of Wu Haogu's plans, so he can naturally guess some of Wu Haogu's intentions.

"What do they want?" Wang Hao asked.

"The minister knows that they have always wanted Japan to open the country." Wu Yanpet said, "Su Shi, who visited this time, is a person from the Coastal City Shipping Manufacturing Division, and he has been to Japan several times, but he has been stopped by Dazaifu. If they could have a market on the southern coast of our country......"

Yin Qian asked: "They want a commercial market, why are the Khitans coming out?" ”

"As far as the minister knows," Wu Yanzhong said, "the relationship between the coastal cities of the Song Kingdom and the Khitans is very close. ”

"How could such a thing happen?" Wang Hao thought about it, he didn't have the capital to offend the two overlords of Song Liao at the same time, "But Busanpu still can't give them ...... Find another remote island and let them build a market on the island. ”

Wu Yanzhong played: "King, the minister knows that there is a Jueying Island near Busanpu, so it is better to set aside 15,000 acres of land on this small island and lease it to the Khitans." ”

"Okay." Wang Hao said, "Move the tax customs of Busan Pool to Jeopus Island as well!" And the merchants and civilians of the Song Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Japanese State on Jueying Island were not allowed to leave the island and land. ”

Yin Qian suddenly thought of something at this time, and said: "Great King, the minister remembers that the Song people seem to have rented a piece of land on Tamna Island and opened a horse farm...... Will they take advantage of our country's new defeat to plot against Tamna Island? ”

Wang Hao thought for a moment, "Then change the country of Tamna into a county as soon as possible, and then take back the horse farm on the island." ”
