The Liaodong Peninsula has always been the location of the Andong Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. It governed the Korean Peninsula and the vassal barbarians in the Northeast, such as Silla, Khitan, and the Bohai Kingdom, which was known as the Haidong Shengguo. The first protector

It is the famous Xue Rengui.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Andong Protectorate once again moved to Pingzhou (Lulong, Hebei Province) and carried out strategic contraction. The vast Northeast, Liaodong, and Korean Peninsula were already out of semi-control in handling cases.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Bohai State established by Bohai Mohe Da Zuorong actually controlled the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Andong Prefecture is the Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty, the Xuantu Lelang County of the Han Dynasty, and is east of the Liaodong County. It is now the land of Dongyi!"

"Then the remaining people (of Goryeo) were unable to protect themselves and fled to Silla Mohe, and the old land was completely lost to Mohe."

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

In 928 AD, King Dachengzhuan of Bohai was captured by the Khitans, and the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed. The Khitans usurped the land of Liaodong with snakes swallowing elephants. In order to appease the people of Bohai, they established the Dongdan Kingdom on the ruins of the Bohai Kingdom on the side of Changbai Mountain.

The eldest son Yelvbei became the king of Dongdan as a transitional stage from the Bohai Kingdom to the direct rule of Khitan.

However, except for Liaodong and Huanglong Prefecture, which were controlled by the Khitans, the descendants of the Bohai Kingdom established the Anding Kingdom. Basically, the Khitans had been working to stabilize the rear 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 an important transportation thoroughfare in ancient and modern times. It is the only way in and out of Dajin (Lushunkou).

The bottleneck of the Second Sea.

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

When Li Jia came to Bisha City, he saw this scene:

The Khitan people were dressed in furs and holding bows and arrows. Their hair was disheveled and tied in pigtails. Their eyes were constantly scanning the Bohai people who were wearing Tang suits. The intention of surveillance was obvious.

The Bohai people, on the other hand, went about their business in a low voice. Although the originally prosperous port was crowded with people, it was not noisy, but rather too quiet.

After explaining that he and others were from Lingnan, and that they had Abdul, the cannibal, the arrival of Li Jia and others was like a troublesome catfish, breaking the atmosphere, and the whole city suddenly became lively.

Han people are humble in the entire Beisha City, but Han merchants are welcomed by the entire Beisha City, especially Han merchants who are not from the Central Plains. They are extremely welcome.

The Southern and Northern Expeditions of the Later Zhou Dynasty accumulated a great reputation. Although the Sleeping Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelujing, was lethargic, he was not a fool. Naturally, he knew the threat of the Central Plains Dynasty. A few days ago, he issued a decree prohibiting trade with the Han people in the Central Plains to boost his national power.

As a result, the merchants in Bisha City suffered. Although they could smuggle, they had too many furs, ginseng, deer antlers, cattle and sheep in their hands, and smuggling was only a drop in the bucket.

Things can't be sold, and the losses are huge. It's hard to catch up with a southern businessman, so naturally he won't let it go easily.

"This Jia man, the mayor wants to see you!"

Before Li Jia finished combing, a big man in armor came over, reluctantly made a gesture of invitation, and said stiffly.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the merchants sighed, waved their hands, and dispersed.

"Langjun——" Zhang Huzi put his hand on the shoulder blade as a preparation, while Abdul's face turned pale, and several guards around him had already drawn their scimitars and were on guard.

"Don't be impatient. It doesn't look bad. Let's go first!" After taking a look at the dozens of armored Khitan soldiers around him, Li Jia squinted slightly, calculated the winning rate, and said softly.

Later, 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, he was different from the imagined man with his hair tied up in the right fold. He was wearing silk and satin and looked dignified. If he didn't know better, he would have thought he was a certain land official from the Central Plains!

"I am the lord of Beisha City. Please don't blame me for inviting you so presumptuously!" Before Li Jia and others could take any action, this elegant middle-aged man with a long beard took the lead in saluting and apologizing.

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

"The unknown city lord asked me to wait for the common people to come here. What's the important thing?" Li Jia bowed and asked.

"Jia people, please be patient, there is something good happening for you right now!" Gao Yun, as the city lord of Bisha City, saw these southern merchants, with a smile on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and explained slowly.

It turned out that due to the ban on communication with the Central Plains, the city lord's family had no surplus food. The family's cattle, sheep and various northern specialties had piled up like mountains, and they needed to be sorted out in order to maintain their lives.

"City Lord, please forgive me. Purchasing these requires a lot of copper coins, but we don't have many with us!"

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

"It's okay to be cheaper than you, as long as it's completely sold!"

"Can the porcelain be sold with cloth?" Li Jia asked easily, which surprised the city lord and agreed without saying a word.

The exchanged porcelain, cloth, tortoise shell, and even gems can be resold and make a lot of money.

And Li Jia never expected that this time would go so smoothly, and he was naturally happy to have a local snake help him.

So, with only dozens of gems and agates, a hundred kilograms of ivory, and a hundred bolts of silk and satin, Li Jia exchanged for hundreds of ginseng roots aged at least ten years, as well as five hundred horses, hundreds of kilograms of deer antlers, etc.

For Li Jia, it was a huge profit. Even if it was resold, the profit would increase at least ten times. This was a good time for him to catch up.

Here, Li Jia feels slightly guilty for his small actions in Shandong. Thanks to Guo Rong, how else could he earn so much? Otherwise, his actions to fan the flames should be smaller? After establishing a solid cooperative relationship, Li Jia and others gave a false alarm.

At the market, they began to sweep goods again, met with a large number of merchants, and purchased goods at very low prices.

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

In response, Li Jia took dozens of people and hurriedly went to take a look. Ten thousand taels of gold was not a small sum, especially in the Northeast, where there were many gold mines. This number was extremely credible.

"Let me introduce myself. I, Da Shiwei, are in urgent need of a large number of weapons, as well as tens of thousands of kilograms of pig iron. As for gold, we have everything you need! Bang bang bang bang -"

A young man in his twenties said with a proud face. Following his applause, several wooden boxes filled with gold opened their lids.
