Since most of the Han people in the Liao Kingdom have been assigned to slaves of various Khitan tribes, the power of the southern officials is different from before. They no longer manage the affairs of the Han people, but are responsible for collecting taxes in workshops such as textiles, iron smelting, porcelain making, etc., rewarding farming, sericulture, and managing slave trading. In addition to governing the Khitan tribe, the northern officials are also responsible for the training of soldiers during daily life, and dispatching troops to fight during wartime. A few Han military camps in the Liao Kingdom that have not yet been abolished have changed their clan and changed their surnames and are under the jurisdiction of the northern officials. The southern officials mostly use experienced old ministers of the imperial court, while the northern officials are completely controlled by Yelu Dashi's true confidant, and no one can get involved.

"A total of 5.73 million slaves were enriched in the farms and workshops of various major families, and more than one million were sent to the military prefectures by the princes and powerful men. With these large numbers of slaves, the tribes carried out logging, charcoal, iron smelting, and weaving industries were booming, and the production was more than doubled compared with the past. Moreover, after the small pieces of land were merged into the Datianzhuang, the labor used was reduced, while the harvest of grain and mulberry and silkworms were more than before." Xiao Xiaode reported with a smile on his face, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, all industries have been prosperous. We no longer have to change cloth, grain, and iron tools from the Southern Dynasty market this year. I calculated that only this autumn, the merchants of the Southern Dynasty would come to buy our cloth, rice wine, and iron tools." Although his words were full of flattery, they were more sincerely admired.

At the beginning, only a few Khitan nobles supported Yelu Dashi. Since he ascended the throne, he has given both kindness and power. On the one hand, he has eliminated dissidents several times and almost replaced the leaders of various tribes. On the other hand, a large number of slaves came to the workshops opened by various officials, and the output of various utensils increased sharply. In just two years, the wealth of the Khitan rich people increased sharply than before. Taxes were collected through the southern government offices and distributed in the name of military pay and subsidies. Now ordinary Khitan people

Life was even better than the small leaders of the tribe in the past. All of this happened in just two years. Except for those whose heads were cut off, all the Khitans, whether rich or poor, noble or humble, whether they were born and died, or who later surrendered to the wind, are now grateful to Yelu Dashi and loyal. In the past, everyone gritted their teeth and scolded Yelu Yanxi to express their loyalty to His Majesty Dashi, but now almost no one mentioned Yelu Yanxi again.

"Your Majesty is like the sun and moon in the sky, and you don't need the foil of a fool." Xiao Xiaode thought to himself secretly, looking at the contemplative emperor behind the imperial case obediently. He couldn't help but think of the legend below. His Majesty's Majesty swallowed a red sun in his dream, and after being pregnant for ten months, he gave birth to His Majesty Dashi, "This is a sun given to the Khitans by the Heaven of Longevity. No wonder the young men are willing to die for him."

Yelu Dashi smiled slightly and asked, "Do you really need to barter goods from the Southern Dynasty?" Without waiting for Xiao Xiaode to respond, he replied, "Although the cloth and utensils produced in our workshop are both numerous and cheap, they are not as exquisite and meticulous as compared to the Southern Dynasty, so you still have to buy what you should buy."

He knew in his heart that there was no need to change various fabrics from the Song Dynasty. On the one hand, the production of Liao Dynasty workshops surged greatly, which could meet the needs of ordinary Khitans. On the other hand, most of the Han people were confiscated as slaves, and the demand for these Southern Dynasties greatly shrank. Not entirely, the various industries in his country completely surpassed the Southern Dynasties. He understood these in his heart, but he would not say them out, so as not to lose the face of the Privy Council envoy of the Southern Dynasties.

When he carefully examined the gains and losses of the Xia and Song countries in the south, he found that the reason why the Xia Kingdom was stronger than the Song and Liao countries was that it was built by martial arts, and that the benefits of industry and commerce were far higher than farming. Therefore, when the workshops of the Liao Kingdom flourished, the demand for slaves increased greatly, and the Han people would rather live by dozens of acres of land passed down from their ancestors than enter the workshop. So Yelu Dashi advocated that those people who had no resistance should be classified as slaves. In addition to some farming in the farm, many entered the workshops opened by various Khitan families. Due to the sufficient supply of slaves, the scale and output of the Liao Kingdom workshops more than doubled in just two years. Moreover, with the expansion of the workshops, there will be a steady stream of slaves sold from the farms to the workshops in the future.

Yelu Dashi raised his hand and told Xiao Xiaode not to be nervous and apologized, and slowly said, "We Khitans are good at fighting, so just manage slaves well. Go and tell the owners of the workshops that they should let the shopkeepers manage the workshops like Han slaves, and make them go and let the shopkeepers manage the workshops, do business, and improve the quality of the utensils. I think that the shopkeepers who do well should have more rewards, such as wide houses, buildings, high horses and high chariots, and beauties, gold and silk, and don't be stingy." Yelu Dashi had a faint sarcastic meaning on his face, and said, "Also, it won't take long to hire craftsmen from the Southern Dynasty. The quality of the utensils produced by our dynasty will also catch up with the Southern Dynasty. The business-making policy of Xiao Shumi has also worked hard."

Xiao Xiaode hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, I will definitely pass your Majesty's order to all workshops and shops."

Yelu Dashi nodded and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to force others to do anything. You can control the degree of the situation yourself. Also, I heard that some people are disabled by random slaves," he paused, looked at Xiao Xiaode, who nodded below and said in a deep voice, "Slaves are the wealth of the workshop and the national wealth. Do not harm them at will. I have the system of ancient people here. You can use it to summon Linya in the south to carefully consider it, take the precise points and formulate a law."

Yelu Dashi pointed to a thin book placed on the imperial desk and sighed: "I have carefully studied this "National Law Collection" four times and have benefited a lot. You can take it down and experience it first."

Xiao Xiaode then sued him, reached out to take the book in his hand, and glanced at it. In addition to the title, there was also a striking sentence on the cover, "Although he is an emperor, he is also a slave to the national law." His handwriting was old, and he didn't know who mentioned it in what year or month. Xiao Xiaode saw this rebellious words clearly, and his calves couldn't help but tremble, and said tremblingly: "I should follow Your Majesty. Read it three times first and experience it carefully."

Yelu Dashi's face turned strange, and he smiled and said, "It took me more than ten years to study this book, but you don't have so much time. This book contains only a catalogue, and all the books are collected in the Hanlin Academy. So, you find Linya in the south, and everyone will divide it. Each of them is responsible for studying some of the classics. I will also mention you at any time." He suddenly felt a little emotional and sighed, "I really don't know how much thought and manpower the Xia Kingdom spent to translate it. The envoy of our dynasty brought it back fifty years ago, but unfortunately he has been covered in dust in the Hanlin Academy." After that, he waved his hand and asked Xiao Xiaode to retreat.

The emperor was busy with all kinds of things. Xiao Xiaode had just left, and reported to the Northern Court Privy Council Privy Councilor Yelu Tiege to meet and discuss the matter of entering into a peace agreement with the Song and Jin countries. Yelu Dashi smiled and asked him to come in quickly. In terms of convenience, it is appropriate to make the peace agreement in the south yamen, but in terms of importance, it is better to place it in the north yamen. Yelu Dashi considered it again and again and placed it in the north. This shows how your Majesty relied on Yelu Tiege. There are even some rumors below that after the reopening of the Eight Khitan Conference, the position of His Majesty Emperor will no longer be the father and son like the Han people in the Southern Dynasty. Instead, it will be designated by the old emperor and elected by the eight tribes to elect the Khitans who are both talented and virtuous, and the Northern Court Privy Council Privy Councilor Yelu Tiege is one of the candidates for His Majesty Dashi.

In the past two years, the Liao court has stipulated that the Khitans Xi people are called nationals, and more than two million people are registered in the Beiyuan household registration. Zhengding must carry horses, bows and arrows on his own every year to train twice. This time, the household registration is cleared, which has resulted in more than 700,000 Zhengding people under the military household registration. The Beiyuan Yamen also unified the Pishi Army, the Shan Army, the Palace Guards and Cavalry Army, the border garrison troops, etc., and selected elite troops from various Liao troops and obtained 50,000 palace tent troops. These measures have been implemented, which have touched the interests of many Khitan powerful people, but has made the Liao army strong, and Yelu Tiege can be said to have made great contributions.

"Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty is fame and fortune. In the past year when Zhao Ke ascended the throne, we have compliments to him. There should be no problem in signing a new peace treaty in the Yi Dynasty. However, it is absolutely impossible to enter into a peace treaty with the Jin Kingdom. Even if we are willing, they will not." Yelu Tiege said in a deep voice. Over the past two years, the Liao Kingdom has felt that His Majesty has thunderous means and the heart of the Bodhisattva. In order to save the tribesmen from the suffering of military disasters, there are hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in the country, but they are still willing to sign a contract with the Jin and Song Kingdom, without money and land. As long as these two countries agree to Taiping Shiyi with the Liao Kingdom, it would be fine.

Yelu Dashi looked relaxed and smiled, "Even if the peace agreement is not completed, we must try it. First, polite and then soldiers, and let go of the news that we were preparing to sign a peace agreement with the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom does not agree to the peace agreement, and the upper and lower parts of the country are excited, we will send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom again. The Northern Court has been planning the Northern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom. It is best to lead the Jurchens to leave Ningjiangzhou to fight us in a decisive battle. Don't they want to attack Liaoyang Prefecture?" In the past two years, the national strength of the Liao Kingdom has long been restored from civil strife, and everyone wants to make contributions. Yelu Dashi has long intended to fight the Northern Court, and he only needs to use the arrogance of the Jin people to refuse to make a final mobilization. However, in order to prevent the people in the Northern Court from vaining their jobs and leaking the news, it was not until now that he told the Privy Council of the Northern Court that his true intentions were told.

A sudden look on Yelu Tiege's face turned into great joy and bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Yelu Dashi raised his hand, not having to be too polite, and said with a smile: "The Southern Dynasties do not know our reality yet. This time, the peace agreement was opened to exchange markets. Try to minimize the tariffs and extend the peace agreement as much as possible. As long as you do not surrender or cede land, you can consider other conditions, even if you give them more money."
