Chapter 776 That person is excusable; as for you, you must not die

After hearing Li Tianqu's words, he still worshipped Wang Yu who was lying on the ground and was not only interested, but his eyes were lit.

After all, the north is nomadic, and all tribes of fishing and hunting tribes are eager to trade with the Central Plains. If the Central Plains dynasty government can formulate official rules, the price will be relatively fair, especially for the Khitan, which has continuously conquered various surrounding tribes and has a multiplier population and registered number under its rule, it is of course more important.

At present, the Khitan wanted to trade with the various vassals of the Central Plains, but it was almost impossible to avoid the expression of the Later Tang Dynasty. In fact, the Khitan also asked Li Cunxu for negotiations, using Yunzhou and other places as the trading locations, and using sheep, horses, fur and other commercial goods to exchange tea, silk fabrics, precious metals, and even handicrafts.

However, although the last battle was defeated by the Later Tang Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji had not been completely defeated. He was at a disadvantage in the war and had to rely on others in the trade market... How could he be willing to be kept tight by Li Cunxu?

What's more, although Li Cunxu intended to comfort the Khitan, he now spent his main energy thinking about the next step and how to deal with the Wei Dynasty. In addition, the Wei Dynasty and the two major powers of the Later Tang Dynasty went to war, and most of the trade routes from the Central Plains to Hedong and other places have been cut off... Wang Yu thought that the most suitable target for trading was the Wei Dynasty, which had a broader territory and attracted merchants from various countries, and the Khitan urgently needed the most commercial goods?

Originally, under the Wei Dynasty, the various maritime merchants in Japan, Silla, Baekje, and even the country of Mendu, Srivod, Gogluo, Haling, Sinhalla, South India, Little Brahmin, and Dashi... and other overseas merchants frequently traveled, but there were almost no Khitan maritime merchants. This is also because at this time of the time, the Khitan was still nomadic and fishing and hunting. In the past, fishing and catching fish on rivers and making boats. To put it bluntly, what can be made now is the extremely primitive and simple canoe.

Wang Yu came on an envoy and the ship he was on was also made by Han craftsmen who knew some shipbuilding skills in the Khitan territory. However, most of the Han people who took the initiative or were passive to settle down under the Khitan government were from Yanyun, so how could there be any expert in shipbuilding? In other words, the voyage was relatively close, and this time he could reach Dengzhou safely and burn incense...

According to the official history, the scale of the ship fleet was formed, and it had to wait for the Liao Kingdom to pass on for more than a hundred years. Moreover, in terms of the existence of the shipbuilding industry in history books, it should not be said that compared with the Song Dynasty of the same period, even compared with the Jin Kingdom later.

The reason why Yelu Abaoji has been using both soft and hard to continuously expand the number of Han subjects under his rule is that he not only intends to absorb Han civilization and cultivate farmland, but also urgently needs to improve shipbuilding, mining, casting, textile, construction, handicrafts and other technologies. However, this will inevitably take a long time to accumulate before the results can be achieved.

After Li Tianqu promised to set up a seaport in coastal areas such as Duli Town, the Wei Dynasty ships were transported and transferred to the tribute of both sides to trade materials. The Khitan did not have to bear the unpredictable maritime risks, and could also establish a relationship of mutual trade with the Central Plains dynasty... For Wang Yu, this was an unexpected joy that he could not even imagine.

If a tail is born, Wang Yu will definitely shake it hard like a Baha dog. He was already happy and nodded repeatedly:

"Your Majesty is magnificent and sympathetic to the situation of the despise country. The humble man gave his report to our master clearly, and he would definitely make this happen! The Celestial Empire not only wanted to open a sea market, but also thought about our master everywhere... The Khitan was grateful and would also be a servant and ally of the Great Wei for generations!"

I feel sympathetic to your grandma, a Han man from a vassal state of the Yiwu Army, turned to recognize the Khitan king as his godfather, and got the sweetness for the hard work of the foreign race. He was so excited that he looked like a bird. Are you cheap?

Li Tianqu cursed in his heart, of course, his disgust and contempt towards Wang Yu was not revealed. He was thinking in his heart: to open ports in Duli Town and other places, and to use the mutual market to allow the influence of his own forces to extend to a corner of the Liaodong Peninsula. It is expected that under the current situation, Yelu Abaoji should be like Wang Yu, who is very happy to agree to the suggestions put forward by the Wei Dynasty.

After all, in this era, the coastal defense awareness of various countries was generally not very sensitive. At that time, Zhang Baogao, a native of Silla, sought the consent of the Tang Dynasty to build Chishanpu at Shidao Port in Weihai, Shandong in later generations, and formed the main sea trade routes of Dengzhou, Silla Qinghai Town, and Kyushu Hakata, Japan. In fact, it was equivalent to controlling the main routes of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, it aroused the alert and dissatisfaction of the imperial court and even any coastal vassal governor, then Zhang Baogao would not have to wait until he was killed by the Silla nobles, and he would have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the Khitan people who originated in the inland northeast China. For Yelu Abaoji, it is urgent to not only need the Central Plains dynasty to recognize his status, but also to expand his territory through military expansion and trade with each other, so that the people of the Khitan tribes can become more prosperous, which can make the status of other kings more stable... Then Abaoji has no reason to reject the proposal of the Wei Dynasty. Moreover, with the current era background, no matter how talented he is as powerful as a lord, it is difficult to see through the more hidden purpose of the Wei Dynasty.

But...Li Tianqu thought that in the late Qing Dynasty, foreign devils relied on the strong ships and the cannons to force the Qing court to open the port. Can they be kind?

Seeing Wang Yu's flattering and flattering look, Li Tianqu's tone couldn't help but become a little colder:

"The Khitan wants to communicate with our dynasty, and you can hear my proposal clearly. After returning, you can understand it to the Khitan king, and you must make an agreement as soon as possible. Our dynasty will dispatch ship craftsmen to Duli Town and other places to build ports. Without further ado, you must also report to the Khitan king as soon as possible.

Ah... Yes, when our dynasty launched a military campaign to conquer Yan State, Han Yanhui, who served under Liu Rengong's tent, also discussed matters with me as an envoy, and they had a great conversation. Before Jie and Yan fell, he went on a mission to the north and was left by the Khitan State... After all, he was also an old friend whom he met. Is Han Yanhui still in Khitan now?"

Suddenly, when he heard Li Tianqu mention the name Han Yanhui again, Wang Yu's expression sank. Even though he immediately restrained his expression, he definitely did not dare to show any displeasure in front of Emperor Wei, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of hatred in his heart.

Even though the Han people who were both the Khitan king Yelu Abaoji, the relationship between Wang Yu and Han Yanhui was really not harmonious.

After all, Wang Yu, Lu Wenjin and other Khitan Han ministers were the most important. In order to be more appreciated by A Baoji, they suggested that Khitan Khitan Khitan Khishou plunder the various places of Yanyun, waiting for an opportunity to expand the territory to the Heshuo boundary, and leading the way for foreign tribes to face the Han soldiers and civilians who were originally from their hometowns;

However, Han Yanhui gave advice for Abaoji, prompting a large number of Han people who fled to the north to live in peace, and promised to cultivate fields and establish laws and regulations for the reform of the Khitan... But he tried his best to dissuade Abaoji from avoiding military use in the Central Plains, and tried to avoid the Khitan military disaster as much as possible and did not flee to the north of the border, while the Han people who lived and worked in peace in the Heshuo area.

Wang Yuxin said that even if he was Yi'er recognized by Yelu Abaoji, Han Yanhui was also a confidant counselor around the Khitan king... The two of them had completely opposite attitudes towards their former hometowns. They both had to rely on Abaoji, but they sang opposites all day long... How could the relationship between the two get better?

However, when Wang Yu heard the Emperor of Wei Dynasty mention Han Yanhui by name, of course, he did not dare not answer. He had to laugh and replied:

"Han Pushe... is naturally safe when he is valued by my master. After the humble man returns, he will convey His Majesty's compassion for his kindness to Han Pushe."

Even though he said that, Wang Yu thought in his heart:
