My life skills in Daming Liver

Li Ruzhen looked at his fellow tribesmen around him and immediately said:

"I know Li Rusong. He has great ambitions but little talent. He is soft-hearted. If I don't go to Liaoyang, others will talk bad about me in his ears day and night. Li Rusong will send people to arrest me next time and go to Liaoyang."

"On the contrary, this time I went as ordered, and he would not be wary of me."

Li Ruzhen added: "Li Rusong likes extravagance. I have asked people to take out the best treasures in the tribe and select the most beautiful beauties in the tribe and give them to him. As long as he does this, he will definitely not kill me." .”

"But he may also leave me in Liaoyang City. When I am away, you must show respect to Ming as before."

Everyone looked at Li Rushe and quickly said yes.

Li Ruzhen looked at a young man. Hauge was the real child he adopted and was now almost as tall as him.

Although Hauge's tribe was destroyed by Li Ruzhen, he was raised by Li Ruzhen all these years. Hauge understood that the real order to arrest the pregnant women was given by the Ming court, and Li Ruzhen was doing things under the orders of the Ming court.

The officers of the Ming court oppressed the Jurchens, and the merchants of the Ming court cheated the Jurchens. Hauge saw these things in his eyes, so he hated the Ming Dynasty the most.

Li Ruzhen looked at his adopted son and said, "Hauge, you will temporarily take over the position of flag owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, but you must discuss things with other flag owners when encountering problems."

Internally, Li Ruzhen also divided his tribe into four banners, with Jurchen nobles serving as banner leaders.

The flag unit is a combination of farming and warfare. On weekdays, the flag people farm, fish and hunt under the leadership of the nobles in the flag. When there is a war, the young and strong men take up weapons and mount their horses to fight.

Li Ruzhen brought gifts and beauties, came to Liaoyang City respectfully, and immediately presented gifts to Li Rusong.

Then, in the cold weather, Li Rushu put a thorn stick on his back, knelt in the ice and snow, and asked Li Rusong for carrying the thorn stick.

Li Ruzhen knelt at the door of Li Rusong's house for a while. Just when he was about to freeze, the door of Li Rusong's house opened. A servant put clothes on him and took him to see Li Rusong.

Li Rusong's house is equipped with a stove, a fire pit and a fire wall. The temperature in the room is quite warm, just like spring.

Such a large hall is so warm, and the hall is full of silk and satin.

The entire hall was filled with self-propelled clocks from the southeast, treasures extorted from the North Korean king, and various treasures donated by the Jurchen tribe.

When Li Rusong saw Li Rushe, he was playing with the winter beads on his hand.

This winter pearl was obtained by the divers of the Li Rushu tribe from the clams they fished out by diving into the cold water. Every year, a large number of divers die in the sea just for this treasure.

When Li Rusong saw Li Rushe's appearance, most of his anger after being sued by the Haixi Jurchens immediately dissipated.

Li Ruzhen is the adopted son of his father, Li Chengliang. Although Li Chengliang has many adopted sons, Li Ruzhen grew up with him.

Later, when he was in the army, Li Ruzhen assisted his father and son. When he was in Liaoyang, Li Ruzhen brought his tribe to help him, and then he established a firm foothold.

If the Haixi Jurchens hadn't complained, and his advisers said that Li Rushe had thoughts of rebellion, Li Rusong would not have recalled him to Liaoyang City.

But seeing Li Rushe's appearance, Li Rusong felt that his "Brother Rushe" would never betray him.

This is not to say that Li Rusong has much trust in Li Ruzhen, he just arrogantly believes in his "dog training" ability.

Seeing Li Rushe being as submissive as a dog, Li Rusong felt a strong sense of accomplishment. If it weren't for his superb abilities, who could have governed Liaodong so stably?

Soldiers do not need to leave the warm city, as a steady stream of loot is delivered to the city.

The common people could buy Jurchen slaves at low prices to help open up wasteland and farm fields. These slaves were captured from the mountains and forests by Li Rushe, the "hound".

The whole of Liaodong was very satisfied with him. Li Rusong felt that his achievements in governing Liaodong were far better than those of his father.

Looking at his biggest "result" in Liaodong, Li Rusong slowed down his tone, comforted Li Rushe, pulled him to his feet, and gave him something casually.

However, just as Li Rushe expected, Li Rusong was still wary of him, so he did not let him return to the tribe, but let him live next to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

Li Ruzhen didn't complain at all, but was very happy, saying that it was Li Rusong's gift that he could live in the prosperous Liaoyang City without having to freeze in the tribe's broken tent.

Li Ruzhen accompanied Li Rusong on hunting, horse racing, and even selected warriors from the tribe to perform wrestling for Li Rusong. In short, he served Li Rusong very comfortably, which made Li Rusong more relaxed about the Jianzhou Jurchens.

The Haixi Jurchens complained to no avail and were sent back to their base by Li Rusong. Now the Jianzhou Jurchens went even further.

That month, the Jianzhou Jurchens attacked a middle-level Jurchen tribe in Haixi and framed the tribe as barbarian Jurchens. All the men were brought to Liaoyang as slaves, and the women and children were integrated into their own tribes.

The slave traders who dealt with them had to distinguish between the savage Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens. You must know that the Haixi Jurchens have been Chineseized for a long time. Many tribes have given up the traditional Jurchen boar skin hairstyle and followed the Han people to grow their beards and hair. Moreover, the Chinese language is also Speaks very fluently.

However, the prosperous Jurchen slave trade made these slave traders not care about the origin of these slaves. Instead, they took the opportunity to lower the price, and all of them were sold by Jianzhou Jurchen.

But these Jurchens were not sold to farmers near Liaoyang.

Because these slave traders soon discovered that the prices they sold to nearby farmers were very low, and if there were any problems with these slaves, the farmers would come to the door.

Some of them were large landowners with connections in all aspects of Liaoyang, and slave merchants could not afford to offend them. If a slave died suddenly, he would have to compensate another one.

So they found that selling to the Koreans across the Yajiang River was a better option.

It is said that the prospecting engineers of Southeast Tiangong Academy discovered a large copper mine on the edge of the Yajiang River.

The Donghai Trading Company and the North Korean government jointly funded the project, and the Donghai Trading Company was responsible for providing the technology to mine the copper mine.

There are many dangerous positions in copper mines, especially underground operations, which are extremely dangerous.

So this Yajiang Mining Company frantically purchased Jurchen slaves and asked them to mine underground.

The purchase price of Yajiang Mining was high, and North Koreans would not rush to Liaoyang to ask for returns. Therefore, after buying these Jurchen slaves, the slave merchants immediately put ropes on them and pulled them towards the Yajiang River.
