In just half an hour, a new covenant was made.

Most of the clauses are quoted from the Old Testament.

The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty were still brothers. Every year at four o'clock in the year, envoys were sent to congratulate each other during festivals. The monarchs of both sides discussed their relations according to their age and backup.

Only the Sui coin part has been modified.

Because the Song Dynasty took the initiative to show its sincerity, the Liao people also generously stopped worrying about nouns.

Accepted the name given by the Song Dynasty to Jiaozi who gave money to the Liao Dynasty - "gift".

It is neither a donation nor an acceptance. It is a gift entirely out of brotherly friendship and the relationship between the two countries.

The new covenant stipulates that the Song Dynasty will donate 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 bolts of silk to Liao every year as a reserve fund. Based on this, a batch of Jiaozi with a face value of 3 million guan will be issued every year to prepare for

The Liao Dynasty purchased goods from the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty will collect a tax of 237,700 guan from Jiaozi after the printing is completed.

In addition, these Jiaozi were not paid directly to the Liao Kingdom.

Instead, the emperors of Song and Liao sent their own envoys to jointly supervise.

Every time it was used, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom needed to write a letter to the relevant market, explaining the things to be purchased and the quantity, and then the Liao Kingdom would go shopping in the market accompanied by the Song Dynasty.

After shopping, Song Dynasty paid the merchant a hand.

The merchants took the jiaozi and went to Bianjing to exchange it for copper coins.

Xiao Bada naturally had no objections to these regulations.

He and his representative Yelu Hongji are the most supportive of these proposals from the Song Dynasty! They may even think that this is a must!

Why?

Because these regulations, although they seem cumbersome and verbose, make it clear that only the Emperor of Daliao can use the money!

Therefore, in Yelu Hongji's understanding, this even made him happier than giving him three million copper coins directly!

Why?

Because although the money was in the Song Dynasty, it needed his order and approval before it could be used.

In other words, this is completely his personal property, Yelu Hongji.

Neither the prime minister nor the nobles in the north, nor even the palace troops of the previous emperors, could use the money beyond him.

Isn't this just the Song Dynasty helping the Liao Dynasty stabilize and strengthen the imperial power?

Especially considering the ages of Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi, with this provision, even if Yelu Hongji passes away and Yelu Yanxi is forced to ascend the throne at a young age, as long as he can control the money, as long as the Song Dynasty only recognizes

He is the only legitimate emperor of Liao Dynasty.

Then, those guys in the country who are ready to take action will be at ease!

This is the reason why Yelu Hongji hurriedly sent Xiao Buda to go south!

That's why Yelu Hongji sent such a generous gift this time.

This is why he was willing to give watermelon, a crop currently monopolized by the Liao State, to the Song Dynasty, together with the planting and cultivation technology mastered by the Liao State.

It should be noted that in the past, people in the Liao Dynasty had always taken watermelon as a crop very seriously.

It is regarded as a strategic material like iron and steel and is strictly controlled.

Because this thing is a great blessing to the cavalry.

In cavalry battles, if you carry a watermelon on your horse, you can go deep into the arid wasteland without having to worry about water sources for three to five days.

When you are thirsty, open a watermelon.

In this way, a clean water source is at your fingertips, and at the same time, watermelon itself can fill your stomach and replenish some energy.

For the cavalry, this is a great help!

Now, Yeluhongji is willing to send such treasures to the Song Dynasty, which shows his sincerity.

The news that the Song-Liao alliance was officially concluded immediately spread from the palace.

The whole Bianjing immediately became a sensation!

Countless dignitaries and households who had made preparations in advance finally let go of their worries.

Everyone was gearing up and thinking about how to get the last copper out of the Liao people's pockets.

And thanks to this shareholder trend, a tabloid that was different from all the tabloids in the past appeared on the streets of Bianjing.

It is beautifully printed, has clear handwriting, and has different layouts.

This tabloid not only published the new content of the Song-Liao Covenant.

A special section was also opened to comment on the content of the covenant.

It also has a name: Bianjing New News.

The most important thing is... as soon as this so-called Bianjing New News came out, it completely crushed other tabloids just in terms of quantity - tens of thousands of Bianjing New Newspapers, as if they were popping out of the ground, in this

Night fills every tile and hook in Bianjing City.

So, it was a blast!

Note: In the late 19th century, watermelon underwent a genetic mutation and became the watermelon it is today.

Now everyone knows why black slaves ate watermelon, right? Because in the past, watermelon was not sweet! It could only quench thirst.

PS: In China, watermelon was initially a crop monopolized by the Liao Kingdom. After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, it slowly spread to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
