Chapter 99 Inside the City of Beisha

The Liaodong Peninsula has always been the location of the Andong Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty, and commanded the Korean Peninsula and various northeastern divisions to surrender to the barbarians, such as Silla, Khitan, and the Bohai Kingdom, known as the Haidong Sheng Kingdom. The first protector was the famous Xue Rengui.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the Andong Protectorate was moved to Pingzhou (Lulong, Hebei) again, and strategically contracted. The vast Northeast, Liaodong, and Korean Peninsula were already out of semi-control when handling cases.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Bohai Kingdom established by Dae Jo-young, the Bohai Mart, actually controlled the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Andong Prefecture is the Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty, and the two counties of Xuantulelang in the Han Dynasty are located in the east of Liaodong County. Now they are all the lands of Dongyi!"

"After that (Gory) I was unable to protect myself, so I scattered to Silla Martial Arts, and all the old lands were entered into the Martial Arts."

The "Dongyi" mentioned here and "Mihe" refer to the Bohai Kingdom. In the second year of Kaiyuan, when the Andong Protectorate moved to Pingzhou, the Liaodong Peninsula had already been lost.

In 928 AD, the King of Bohai was captured by the Khitans and destroyed the Bohai Kingdom. The Khitans swallowed the elephant with snakes and usurped the land of Liaodong. In order to appease the people of Bohai, the Dongdan Kingdom was set up on the ruins of the Bohai Kingdom on the side of Changbai Mountain, and the eldest son Yelu Be was the king of Dongdan, which was the transitional stage from the Bohai Kingdom to the Khitan to the direct rule.

However, except that Liaodong and Huanglong Prefecture were controlled by the Khitans, descendants of the Bohai Kingdom established the Anding Kingdom. Basically, the Khitans were working in the rear of Anding Kingdom during the early Song Dynasty.

Beisha City is only 10 kilometers away from Jinzhou Bay in the west and 8 kilometers away from Dalian Bay in the south. It is the main transportation route between ancient and modern times. It is a must-pass way to enter and exit Dajin (Lushunkou), and it is also a bottleneck place for controlling the Yellow and Bohai Seas.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was an important fortress for Goguryeo to defend the Tang army. During the Bohai Kingdom, it was an important tax mall and had an important economic status. During the period of Khitan control, it was still an important trading port.

This is what Li Jia saw when she came to Beisha City:

The Khitans dressed in fur and holding bows and arrows, their hair was loose and their braids were tied, and their eyes were constantly sweeping across the Bohai people wearing similar to Tang suits. The meaning of surveillance was very obvious.

The people of Bohai Sea were doing business in a whispering voice. Although the originally prosperous port was crowded, it was not noisy, but it was a bit quiet.

It shows that after he and others came from Lingnan and were accompanied by the great cannibal Abdul, the arrival of Li Jia and others was tantamount to a messy catfish, breaking the atmosphere, and the whole city suddenly became lively.

The Han people were humble in the entire Beisha City, but the Han Shang was popular in the entire Beisha City, especially the Han Shangs that did not come from the Central Plains, which were extremely popular.

Later Zhou fought south and north, and accumulated a great reputation. Although the sleeping emperor Yelu Jing of the Great Liao Dynasty was sleepy, he was not a fool. He naturally knew the threat of the Central Plains dynasty. A few days ago, he issued an order to prohibit trade with the Han people in the Central Plains and encourage their national strength.

This made the merchants in Beisha City suffer. Although they could smuggle, they had accumulated too much fur, ginseng, deer antler, cattle and sheep, etc., and smuggling was just a drop in the bucket.

If you can't sell things, you will lose a lot of money. You can finally catch up with a businessman in the south, so you will naturally not let it go easily.

"This Jiaren, the city will see you!"

Before Li Jia could finish combing, a big man in armor came over and said stiffly.

As soon as the words were finished, the merchants sighed, waved their hands and dispersed.

"Langjun--" Zhang Huzi pressed his hand on the shoulder knife as a preparatory form, while Abdul, who was beside him, had pale in his face, and the guards around him had already drawn out the scimitar and were alert.

"Don't be impatient, it doesn't seem bad. Let's talk about it first!" After glanced at the dozens of Khitan soldiers wearing armor around, Li Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, calculated the winning rate, and said softly.

Then, under the leadership of this Khitan soldier, Li Jia himself came to the city lord's mansion to build a large-scale mansion.

After seeing this city lord, it was different from the imagined left-sided lapel. This person had a right-sided lapel and tied hair, wearing silk and a straight look. If he didn't know, he would think he was a landlord in the Central Plains!

"I am the Lord of Beisha City. Don't blame me for taking the initiative to invite you!" Before Li Jia and others could do anything, the middle-aged man with long beards and elegant beards took the lead in salute and apologized.

As a result, Li Jia became confused. This person didn’t look like a Khitan, so how could he become the city lord?

"The Unknown City Lord asked me to wait for the little people to come. What's the point?" Li Jia bowed and asked.

"Junior is at ease. At this time, there are good things to find you!" Gao Yun, as the lord of Beisha City, saw these Nan Shangs, and breathed a sigh of relief, and explained slowly.

It turned out that due to the prohibition of contact with the Central Plains, the city lord's family had no surplus grain. The cattle and sheep and various northern specialties in the family had accumulated like mountains and needed to be solved to maintain a living.

"Forgive me, the city lord, to acquire these, it takes a lot of copper coins, but we don't carry a lot!"

As soon as these words were finished, the city lord sighed and hurriedly said:

"It's okay to be cheaper with you, just sell it completely!"

"Can you use cloth porcelain to sell easily?" Li Jia asked easily, which surprised the city lord and agreed without saying a word.

The porcelain, tortoiseshell, and even gems that were exchanged can make a lot of money by selling it.

Li Jia never expected this to be so smooth. She was naturally happy with a local local snake helping her.

So, using only dozens of gems and agate, one hundred kilograms of ivory, and one hundred silk, Li Jia exchanged hundreds of ginseng, the lowest of ten years, as well as five hundred horses, hundreds of kilograms of deer antlers, etc.

For Li Jia, he made a lot of money. Even if he sells it, his profit will increase by at least ten times. This is also a good time for him to catch up.

Here, Li Jia felt a little guilty about her small moves in Shandong. Thanks to Guo Rong, otherwise why would she make so much money? Or would she be a little less of a fanning move?

After establishing a solid cooperative relationship, Li Jia and others were in a false alarm and began to sweep the goods again, meeting a large number of merchants and purchasing them at extremely low prices.

At this time, a mysterious customer met him and directly offered 10,000 taels of gold.

In response to this, Li Jia brought dozens of people and hurriedly went to see that 10,000 taels of gold was not a small amount, especially in the Northeast where there were many gold mines, which was extremely credible.

"I will introduce myself. I, Dashi Wei, urgently need a large number of weapons and tens of thousands of kilograms of pig iron. As for gold, everything is available! Slap sex-"

A young man in his twenties said proudly, and with his applause, he opened the lid with a few boxes full of gold.
