Chapter 242 Chapter 242
While talking about peace, Song Qingzhai beat Bei Hu mercilessly, beating Bei Hu without temper.

Coupled with the fact that Khan Beihu's health has been weakening day by day in the past two years, his sons and grandchildren's struggle for power has become increasingly fierce, and Song Qingzhai has fueled the flames, and the internal friction has become more and more serious.

Therefore, the final result is that Beihu became a minister of Dayan, paying tribute every year and coming to court every year.

But Song Qingzhai also promised to open the border trade, and Beihu people can exchange their high-quality fur, horses, medicinal materials, etc. for Dayan's grain and other goods.

Things like forced buying and selling, bullying and bullying the market are not allowed.

In order to ensure the safety and smoothness of the mutual market, Song Qingzhai will send troops to garrison and inspect.

The opening time of the mutual market is the third day of each month. If there are major festivals, such as Shangyuan Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year, an extra day can be opened.

Both parties were delighted with the outcome.

Beihu wild horses are good at running and have good endurance. If they are well domesticated, they are very good as war horses.

The cattle and sheep in the Northland are affected by the growth environment, and the meat quality is more delicious.

If any party violates the covenant, it will be at its own risk.

After the peace talks were settled, it was almost the twelfth lunar month when it was reported back to the capital, and Hong Shan's master and servant were still on their way to the capital.

They were constantly harassed by bandits, and they deviated from the route they had come to. Finally, they arrived at the station where they had been received when they came.

Of course, the delay in the schedule did not prevent him from writing letters to Jingli. He lamented the grievances he had encountered, and the letter paper was stained with tears.

It also spent a lot of space describing Xu Ji's crimes.

The strange thing is that the letter was sent like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply at all.

At first, Hong Shan didn't think much about it, but after several days of waiting for a reply, he got restless, wrote the letter again, and asked his confidants to deliver the letter, but he still hurried on his way slowly.

He hoped that when he entered Beijing, the palace already had a countermeasure to punish Xu Ji—for the time being, it was impossible to punish the general who held a heavy hand.

However, he firmly believes that as long as he works tirelessly, he will be able to avenge his shame sooner or later!
Until a few days later, I saw my messenger entourage tied to a big tree by the side of the road.

The attendant was so hungry that he was dying.

After I rescued him, I found out after questioning that he had been beaten unconscious five days ago and tied to a tree. Only someone came to feed him a few sips of water every day, and all his belongings had been looted.

Hong Shan was angry and frightened, he had nothing to do, so he had to speed up his journey.

When it came time to enter Beijing, I couldn't wait to hand over the sign to enter the palace.Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Niu and Zhou Qi were both annoyed by his ineffectiveness and refused to see him. Song Qingzhai had already written a book about the peace talks in the Northland, saying that in order to ensure that the Northhu people would not break their promises, he would be stationed in the Northland for three years. .

How could Zhou Qi agree!He immediately ordered Song Qingzhai to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

It was the time when the sky was cold and the ground was freezing, and the messenger did not dare to neglect, so he had to go on the road aggrieved.

Poor thing, he lost the imperial decree in the outskirts of Beijing. He didn't dare to return to Beijing, so he just pretended to be nothing and continued on his way. Halfway through, he fled with his confidants.

The news didn't come back to Beijing until the next year, Zhou Qi was so angry that he delivered the decree again, this time the decree was not lost, but the mission was hijacked by bandits on the way!

Another year had passed when the imperial decree finally arrived in the North after all the ups and downs.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the North has been flourishing this year.

Cotton planting has been popularized, and the textile industry has emerged. Due to the low cost, ordinary people can also afford it. The winter is no longer difficult for the common people, and the quality of clothing has also made a qualitative leap.

However, when it comes to how much cotton is produced...

In fact, Xu Ji is not very satisfied, but under the current natural conditions, this is the best she can do.
