Yelu Longqing asked Liu An if he would sell his new iron bow.

Liu An answered without considering it:

"Sell, give you enough quantity to go to the grassland to fight. As for whether you will increase the price of wool, if you dare to increase the price of wool, I will dare to increase the price of wool and the price of sweaters."

Yelu Longqing cut a large piece of meat for himself, and his mouth was filled with oil. He ate it while saying, "It doesn't matter, it's not me who paid for it anyway, I just want to collect the difference."

Yelu Longqing needs money, but without money, there is no way to train troops and no way to raise troops.

He wanted troops, he wanted to deal with the old nobles of the Khitan, he wanted a new Khitan, and a new Khitan that could fight against the Song Dynasty.

At present, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan are in a delicate balance, but this balance is constantly tilting towards the Song Dynasty, so Yelu Longqing can only take a detour, and normal means are no longer enough to fight this tilt.

Liu An, a powerful force.

Yelu Longqing believes that the strong need to be respected, and the power of the strong can be borrowed.

Liu An, biting the black pepper wild boar chop, turned his eyes, and then drew a circle on the ground: "Brother Yelu, in order to make it easier for me to arm your troops, how about leaving me three berths to Yingkou Port? Didn't you say that you want to build the canal? I'll build it up from Yingkou in one breath."

Shameless, this is taking advantage of the situation.

But what can Yelu Longqing do? He just smiled: "Of course, let's leave five, three are too few."

There are less than twenty berths designed in Yingkou Port, which is equivalent to giving one-quarter to Liu An. Liu An naturally pays attention to accept it.

Liu An asked again: "Do you want me to restrain the Goryeo Army?"

When Yelu Longqing heard this, his heart ached. It was really as uncomfortable as if he was stabbed by someone. When did the Great Khitan need to be protected by other people?

But at this time, he had to give in: "Then, according to the river, I don't care about the east of the East Dandong City, but the Goryeo army west of the East Dandong City should not cross the river."

"good."

Liu An wrote the official document in front of Yelu Longqing, and then ordered Tietou to arrange for someone to send him to Kaicheng, Goryeo.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu An and Yelu Longqing returned from the so-called hunting. A contract for the purchase of arms was submitted to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. One-type steel bows were sent to Youzhou City for 100,000 yuan each, and each pair of bow strings was sent, two pairs of spare bows, a pair of wooden guards, three pairs of gloves, and three arrows.

Liu An said that the cost is 300 yuan, which can be transported and taxed.

Ordnance is a product that is profitable in itself.

Of course, people from the Ministry of Works will definitely not talk too much. The actual mass production cost of this kind of bow is only 160 cents.

In quasi-industrial assembly line production, this kind of bow is expensive in material cost and labor cost is very low. Except for the bow body, the rest are cast parts. Then it is polished with a hydraulic grinding wheel, and then a roll of twine and two pieces of wood are the so-called wooden handguards. Let's wrap it up by yourself when you go home.

A few days later, Yelu Longqing left Bianliang.

Then, it was not until February 16th that the emperor was still unsatisfied with the civil and military officials of the court to return to Bianliang City.

Liu An was awarded the title of 800 households when he stayed in Bianliang. He was pre-deserved by Liu An's son Wu Jielang.

Liu An doesn’t have a son yet, so this additional seal is a reason to get one more money.

An official cannot be promoted, and a title cannot be added.

Liu An is already a marquis, and he is also a duke. He is less than twenty years old, so this is impossible. Not to mention that the court officials would not agree, even the emperor would not want to.

If you can't add a seal, just give it money directly. Liu An likes this too.

Another court meeting, Liu An stood in the corner again. This time it was not that Liu An was too low to stand forward, but that the court had become a quarrel.

Even Wang Dan and Xiang Minzhong started arguing.

Liu An, who was standing in the corner, said in a heartbeat that it would be better to fight these civil servants.

Regarding the matter of Changbai Mountain, Wang Dan proposed to educate him after Huairou.

Xiang Minzhong proposed the integration of military and political affairs, and then the implementation of Song politics after military control is stable.

Kou Zhun was like an old monk, and he put his hands in his sleeves and hugged the Chaoban. He listened but said nothing.

As for Lu Mengzheng, he kept frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't say a word.

Liu An regretted going to court.

In Bianliang City, countless officials want to become court officials. Only court officials have status, either court officials or inferior people.

Liu Anxin said that this court official was nothing good.

By the way, as early as the tenth day of the first lunar month, Liu An issued a transfer order, and Yang Yanzhao had already brought troops north.

It is impossible to pass through Liao, so Yang Yanzhao took three thousand elite pioneers on board from Wuqing, then circled to Goryeo Port to replenish supplies, and headed north from the frozen sea.

He knew about the war between the Goryeo Army in the domestic city, but he could not participate in the slightest.

Once the Song army officially participated in the war between the Goryeo Army and the domestic city, the matter would not end well. The Song and Liao dynasties could not fight directly, after all, there was a convoy just now.

However, Yang Yanzhao secretly helped the Gaoli Army.

Yang Yanzhao took over the official document of Yelu Longqing, and took over Dongdan Dongcheng. After changing defense, the road from Dongdan City to the domestic city was broken, just to block the news of the battle of the domestic city.

Then, when Yang Yanzhao's subsequent troops arrived, Yang Yanzhao immediately went east with 10,000 troops.

Dongdan City, to be precise, should be called Xindongdan City. This is when the Liao people controlled the Bohai Kingdom and forced the great nobles of the Bohai Kingdom to move to Xincheng, which is the location of Tonghua County in later generations. Dongdan Dongcheng is located in Tonghua City in later generations, about thirty miles away.

Dongdan Dongcheng is called a city, but there is no city, only a circle of earthen enclosures, and the core is located at the intersection of the two rivers.

Yang Yanzhao headed eastward, and his target was the Old Bohai City, which was the place where the Bohai King City a hundred years ago. This place was about Baishan in later generations.

There is a city here.

The old Bohai City lives in the formerly poor Bohai people. They stay here and are nostalgic for their former Bohai Kingdom.

The people of Bohai include Han people, Fuyu people, Goguryeo people, and Mohe people.

In terms of system, it is a completely replica of the Tang Dynasty. The people of Bohai also believed in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The Bohai Kingdom was once developed in agriculture and was not a country of herds and hunting. Because the shipbuilding industry was underdeveloped, it only fished offshore.

In addition to underdeveloped fishery, some agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, even paintings, art, etc. in the Tang Dynasty were flourishing.

Their three-colored pottery can be comparable to the three-colored pottery in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Yanzhao rushed to the old Bohai City because he had been guarding the border for many years. He knew that if he wanted to control Changbai Mountain, he had to control Bohai City first, not Dongdan Dongcheng.

Those Bohai nobles were worthless to Yang Yanzhao.
