Spring in Bianjing has arrived, and the back garden of the palace has bloomed green, but Ouyang Bian cannot watch it because he is busy.

Many envoys came to Bianjing City. These envoys were relatively rare. They were neither from Song nor Liao. Now the Liao and Song are enemies of Daxia. They will come, but they are not here now. Song State wanted the envoys of Er'ang to come to negotiate peace, but Daxia did not give in, but maintained a state of war, so that there was an excuse to block the Song State at sea.

The Liao Kingdom had closed the door to negotiations, and Ouyang Bian did not force it. This war should have been fought. If it did not hurt the Liao Kingdom, they would always have fantasies, which would hinder domestic construction.

The envoys who came to Bianjing City were all exotic.

There are people dressed up by Western Regions - that is the Uighurs in Xizhou;

There were people dressed up by Khitans - those were Tatars, and the people who came were the leaders of the Zubu tribe in the northwest of the Liao Kingdom.

Some people dressed up that even the Daxia court officials could not understand were the Jurchens from Changbai Mountain.

There are also some Korean envoys.

Because the Jurchens and the Goryeo people did not have direct borders with Daxia, they were all taken by the navy to the beach.

In fact, this is quite rare for the Daxia court officials. When they were in the Song Dynasty, these people had never been to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was no better than the Han and Tang Dynasties. The only thing you can really influence is the small countries in the south such as Dali and Jiaozhi, and they did not have access to these countries or regions in their territory.

When the envoys came, Ouyang Bian had to receive them. The envoys were also quite polite and offered some not-so-value specialties. Ouyang Bian rewarded some industrial products. The goods in Daxia were very exquisite, which made the envoys' eyes shine.

However, these are just regular etiquette things, and the key things still have to be discussed in private.

Su Che and the others can't do this, and Ouyang Bian has to come in person. Although Su Che and the others are good at government affairs, in terms of the overall situation, Ouyang Bian, a person from later generations, is more clear about it.

Ouyang Bian first met with the envoy from the Uighurs in Xizhou.

The Uighurs in Xizhou are directly bordered by the Liao Kingdom and the Daxia Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom has always wanted to expand the area controlled by the Uighurs in Xizhou. The most recent time was in the second year of Xining.

The Xizhou Uighurs are just a small country. The reason why they were not annexed by the Liao Kingdom was because the existence of the Zubu tribe in the northwest of the Liao Kingdom. Every time the Liao Kingdom wanted to expand to the northwest, the Zubu tribe would fight desperately, so the Xizhou Uighurs survived.

Ouyang Bian proposed to let the Uighurs in Xizhou jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, but the envoy of the Uighurs in Xizhou was talking about him. Ouyang Bian knew that the Uighurs in Xizhou were still afraid of the giant Liao Kingdom, so he stopped talking about business.

Ouyang Bian believes that the industrial products in Qingzhou Industrial Park are very exquisite and should benefit the nobles and people of the Uighurs. Therefore, Daxia did not refuse to trade with the Xizhou Uighurs, and was willing to open the country's doors, hoping that the two countries would get along well.

Ouyang Bian said that trade seemed to give gifts to the Uighurs, but the Uighurs' envoy did not feel that "I bought products with you, that was I taking care of your business, but you regarded it as a gift to me, isn't this ridiculous?", but instead seemed very happy.

In fact, the Xizhou Uighurs were invited to travel all the way to Bianjing, and their motivation was nothing more than to preserve trade with Qingzhou Industrial Park.

When Daxia went to the Western Regions, the Xizhou Uighurs came out of the Hexi Corridor. The Xizhou Uighurs almost regarded themselves as an agent of Daxia's foreign trade. Uighur merchants purchased the products from the Qingzhou Industrial Park and went up the Uighur border to trade with merchants in the west, which could make a lot of profits.

Of course, there are also Western merchants who travel through the Uighurs, arrive directly at Lingzhou City, and even arrive at Qingzhou Industrial Park to conduct transactions. However, these people need to pay taxes when passing through the Uighurs, and the Uighurs live a very prosperous life based on this business road.

If the commercial channels for the Western Regions are closed in Daxia, then the Uighur nobles who are used to living a good life will not get used to it.

Therefore, although the Uighurs were afraid of offending the Liao people, they came for the sake of money.

They just had little interest in attacking the Liao Kingdom.

Ouyang Bian didn't blame them, but continued to chat with the Budu Department.

Among the envoys of the Bubu tribe, there was a young man named Mogus. Ouyang Bian was quite happy to see him. This Mogus is not a good person. In the future, this young man will become a powerful leader of the Bubu tribe and lead the Bubu tribe to resist the cruel rule of the Liao Kingdom. Although Mogus was captured later, the Bubu tribe resisted for ten years.

This war was also the beginning of the decline of the Liao Kingdom.

Sure enough, when Ouyang Bian proposed to join forces to deal with the Liao Kingdom, the other envoys were not very interested, but Mogus' eyes were lit, so Ouyang Bian had a scheming in his heart, but he was not in a hurry and continued to search for the envoys of Goryeo and Jurchen.

This is a very long exchange. Ouyang Bian tried their willingness to resist again and again. Although these countries or regions have been cruelly suppressed to various degrees by the Liao Kingdom, they are still maintaining relative peace now, so their willingness to resist is not strong.

However, Ouyang Bian was not in a hurry. What he did now was just to lay the groundwork for the future.

However, the Goryeo envoys were interesting. The Goryeo envoys ambitiously proposed that they wanted the Liao Kingdom to ced the territory east of the Yalu River.

Ouyang Bian laughed, but this happened. In the first year of Yuanfeng, the King of Goryeo asked the Liao Kingdom to cut the territory east of the Yalu River to them, but was rejected by the Liao Kingdom.

The Jurchens were a little frustrated when they talked. After all, they were not only often attacked by the Liao Kingdom, but also had to go to the emperor's journey to participate in the so-called "headfish banquet" when the Liao Kingdom emperor was on a long winter fishing trip.

There is nothing to attend a banquet, but there is a process that makes them feel like they are stuck in their throats.

At the headfish banquet, as a symbol of surrender, the heads of the tribe must dance in turn and dance to the emperors and nobles of the Liao Kingdom. In the eyes of these heads of the tribe, this is humiliating.

However, when Ouyang Bian proposed to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, they all showed difficulties. It was not because they were cowardly, but because they were really defeated by the Liao Kingdom.

Ouyang Bian just smiled and didn't care about these things. He also proposed to do business with them. Anyway, Daxia Ocean Group could do business through sea, and the Liao Kingdom could not stop it.

After the negotiations, there was no progress in military cooperation. Instead, Yang Qing from the Ministry of Commerce was quite excited. He played a great role in this process, which was also the credit for his future promotion!
