Chapter 15: The Sacred Heart
Xiao Nanting knew that unifying the weights and measures of text currency was not a simple matter, and it could not be achieved overnight, so he had made full preparations before coming.
Seeing that the saint intended to change the topic, he was not in a hurry, and took the lead in showing his sincerity, "Presumably the saint has learned that Nan Ting has brought a lot of things with him to Yuan this time, in addition to the standing national gifts, there are also a lot of new things to give to Dayuan." ”
The saint didn't know that there was a deception, and when he saw that he was knowledgeable and interesting, he gave him a little face, and showed three or four points of interest and said, "Then don't you submit it quickly." ”
Xiao Nanting clapped his hands, and the people who had been waiting outside in advance walked in one by one, either holding a tray in their hands containing some night pearls the size of a baby's fist, or three or two people carrying into a two-foot-high jasper flawless underwater coral ......, and a dozen or so people each came in with a book in red silk.
There were more civil officials than military generals in the main hall, and when they saw these people doing their jobs, they became curious about those books.
Xiao Nanting lived up to expectations and explained, "The first few books are the only ones that our country has always treasured, such as "Study", "Ink Post", "Inscription", and "Music Theory...... The book in the back is a medical codex of several miracle doctors in our country. ”
Everyone in the hall was shocked by Xiao Nanting's words.
Even Xu Suyao couldn't help but praise a few points, Xiao Nanting was worthy of full sincerity, Dayuan admired literature and martial arts, and the value of a unique book was equivalent to; One; Root; Read, the novel yb+du is a city, and Dayuan's medical skills are not refined, Daqi has several divine doctors, and there have been doctors who secretly went to Daqi to learn art, but they were all beaten back, but this time Xiao Nanting sent the medical codex that Dayuan has been coveting......
This temptation is not a star.
Sure enough, the impeccable expression of the saint was cracked, and he glanced at Xiao Nanting with a complicated look, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun has as many as 100 carriages and horses, isn't there any surprise for His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun?" ”
Xiao Nanting bowed his waist and showed a bit of humility, "Nan Ting also has a reluctant request, hoping to marry the noble daughter of your country as his wife, forgive Nan Ting for being disrespectful, and the rest of the carriages and horses are actually Nan Ting's dowry for courtship." ”
When there were several princesses of the same age on the pilgrimage, and several of them admired Xiao Nanting, they all blushed when they saw Xiao Nanting mention this.
The saint changed the topic and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun brought such a heavy gift, I can't return the salute, come here, take 300 miles of silkworm silk and 3,000 silkworms, and invite ten famous craftsmen who breed silkworms to come and send them to the embassy." ”
Heavenly silk is worth a thousand gold, and in previous years, when Dayuan sent envoys to Daqi, it was only a thousand feet.
The gift of the saint is flashy, and even the lone book given by Xiao Nanting is not comparable, let alone compared to the medical codex.
At that moment, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and half of their enthusiasm was extinguished.
Then everyone at the palace banquet had different thoughts, and the time passed in an instant, and it was time to disperse in the blink of an eye.
Back at Xu's Mansion, Xu Suyao and Xu Siming discussed in the study of Zhaicaotang.
"Xiao Nanting really invested enough money to come this time!" Thinking of the previous rumors about Xiao Nanting, Xu Siming's words were inevitably a little hostile, "Does he really have that kind of thought, and he has to pave the way for himself now?" ”
Unifying the weights and measures of text currency, is the next step to unify the Great Qi and the Great Yuan, and then unify the world?
In this way, no matter what you send now, in the end it is not in his hands alone.
Xu Suyao also hesitated a little in his heart, "In fact, his request is not too much, the unification of currency weights and measures and trade, the two countries are interconnected, both sides benefit, in the long run, it is not difficult to domesticate the barbarians, in my opinion, this matter will be decided, the saint has been moved, and the rest is just to discuss how to unify!" ”
Changing what everyone is used to is not just an edict, but also needs to have a special person to disseminate, teach, and get the approval of everyone, and people are instinctively reluctant to change what they are used to, so what kind of unified law is the key.
Xu Siming muttered, "No matter which country will back down, his proposal really makes the relationship between the two countries tense again...... Since the saint ascended the throne, the wind and rain have been smooth, the country and the people are safe, the saint has already moved that thought, Xiao Nanting's performance at this time is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. ”
Xu Suyao sighed in her heart, if the saint also had that meaning...... It's a tricky thing!
"But if the Holy Lord starts a war, and the two countries have equal forces, regardless of success or failure, wouldn't it be a barbarian race to reap the benefits of the fisherman? Moreover, even if you conquer Dayuan, it will be difficult to ensure that the country will no longer be **** in the future, besides, after a hundred years of sainthood, the history books record that a hundred years of peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit with friends can be more virtuous than launching a war to destroy a country, not to mention, if this matter is decided, the descendants of Dayuan will unify the world in the future, wouldn't it be much more convenient? Su Yao doesn't believe in the saint and doesn't know the stakes. ”
Xu Siming nodded, "Actually, it would be nice if we could refute Xiao Nanting's salt water theory, but this was the strategy used by Grandpa Tai when he befriended Daqi back then, if he refutes it now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of our Da Yuan?" ”
"Really?" Xu Suyao's eyes lit up, "I really have a way to do this!" ”
Xu Siming also became excited, and the two of them thought about some details, and finally Xu Siming sighed and said, "What's the use of saying this?" This matter must be discussed above the court, you are a low-grade county lord, and I am an ignorant teenager who has not entered the genealogy, and the two of us don't even have room to speak! ”
Xu Suyao nodded, "Yes, there are still tall people on top of the sky falling, what are we talking about here, let's rest early." ”
Saying that, he went to look for Bai Zhi outside the study, and the two of them walked towards Luorui Courtyard.
A gust of wind passed outside, and in another instant, a single sword appeared in the house, and Xu Siming asked in a deep voice, "Are you leaving?" ”
Shan Jian nodded, "Childe's move is too hanging, if it arouses the suspicion of the saint, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Xu Siming wiped the desk, and on it were the words "Shengshang" that he wrote to Xu Suyao.
"The soldiers are dangerous, and they have to go."
Xu Suyao, who returned to Luorui Courtyard, realized that no one was watching, so she breathed a sigh of relief, as the commander of the battleship, she had an innate intuition, so she knew that someone was spying on them long before Xu Siming, but she didn't know who this person was.
I just don't know what decision the Holy One made, and I don't know if the Holy One sent someone to follow everyone present, or if it was aimed at Xu Siming, or himself......
The bright moonlight was projected in the imperial study, and the saint was silent with the news sent by the secret guard, that Xu Siming was actually a character, stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix and sending Xu Suyao to the palace banquet to arouse his own attention...... Don't be underestimated, it seems that you underestimate them?
