Zhao Zhen didn't know that he had become a god-like existence in the hearts of the Taliban, he only knew that the Taliban now respected him like a god, and meticulously fulfilled the prices and requirements given by Cai Ji, which made Cai Boyu surprised, when did the Taliban transform from a profiteer to an honest and trustworthy old man?

No one knows that in the hearts of the Taliban, Zhao Zhen has become the patron saint of the Eastern Empire of the Great Song Dynasty, a nation without a country, and the fanaticism for faith is already what little worship they have left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The trade proceeded almost unhindered, and the elegant and beautiful porcelain and fragrant black tea were carefully loaded onto the merchant ships of the Taliban and Cai Kee, and the shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty at this time had reached the needs of the ocean-going trade, and there were even many advanced technologies that amazed the Taliban, a merchant who had been engaged in ocean-going trade for many years.

Seeking truth from facts, the shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty has been leading the world, not only in large quantities, but also in high quality, which in disguise promoted the development of the navigation industry, will be the superintendent of the ship, the hull is towering and tall, the structure is reasonable, the decoration is gorgeous, and began to use the compass navigation.

Coupled with the astrological techniques handed down from the Tang Dynasty and the nautical charts obtained from Vera, it is not a problem to reach the South Seas, even if it sails to the Arabian Peninsula, and now only the Taliban need to lead the way.

Once born and twice ripe, Zhao Zhen believed that it would not take long for the merchant ships and even warships of the Great Song Dynasty to sail through the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean.

This time, Zhao Zhen sent out all the warships and merchant ships that the Great Song Dynasty could get his hands on, and each ship was loaded with precious goods, which he wanted to use to impress the rulers of the Abbasid dynasty and make him see clearly that the alliance between the two countries was the best way to survive.

For the Arab Empire, which is weak in national strength and in economic decline, the economic support of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the best help, and the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty are not excessive, everyone makes a fortune together and obtains some unique Arab technology, Zhao Zhen's list has been carefully placed in the arms of the Taliban along with the chart.

These demands were nothing to the Abbasid dynasty, after all, the Great Song Dynasty was too far away from the Arabian Peninsula to share technology would not produce the result of treating the other in the same way, so why not the rulers of the Abbasids?

The Taliban turned from a cunning merchant to a messenger of friendship, and humbly knelt at Zhao Zhen's feet: "Your Majesty, your servant Abbas requests to obtain the official position of the Great Song Dynasty and become a member of the Great Song Dynasty, so that he can better serve the Song Empire!" ”

Cai Boyu and Ding Wei spoke against it almost at the same time: "Impossible! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at them strangely, when did this old and young come so close?

The original Cai Boyu was very disgusted with Ding Wei, even if he completely surrendered to himself, Cai Boyu and Yan Shu were unapologetic to Ding Wei, but since Ding Wei became the head of the Third Division, Cai Boyu and Ding Wei have intersected more and more, and they have become closer and closer.

Now he often quotes Ding Wei's words and work style, wouldn't it be Bai Ding Wei as a teacher?

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and asked, "You have to give me a reason!" ”

Ding Wei glanced at the Taliban and said: "The official family, it is not that there are no officials and foreigners, but they are all the heads of a clan or officials of a country, he is just a big food merchant, and it is really inappropriate to confer officials with him!" ”

"When did you care about people's origins? Don't you only care about the means and the result? Besides, he wants to convince the emperor of another empire for me, isn't this my envoy, then the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple will forget it, I will give him the official of the Sifang Pavilion, this is sent by the province of internal service, not an official of the foreign court, no hindrance! ”

Ding Wei's eyes lit up and said, "The official family is Shengming! In this way, it is quite appropriate, the officials who enter the province are close to the official family, and they are not foreign officials, which not only makes the emperor of the Great Food Country feel that the official family is sincere, but also has a lot less gossip! ”

Cai Boyu looked at Ding Wei angrily, he actually wanted to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to send an envoy to the Great Food Country! But the official didn't want to veto it, didn't he describe the grandeur of the Great Voyage himself? Didn't he instigate himself to go to sea? Why did it change again at a critical time!

A seed galloping on the sea has taken root in Cai Boyu's heart, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can he give up?

"Qi Qi official, the ministers also want to send envoys to eat, most of the goods this time are provided by Cai Ji, of course the ministers have to ......"

Before Cai Boyu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Zhen: "No, don't even think about it!" I promised to let you go to sea, but now is not the time. ”

"When will your majesty wait, you can't wait until you are old and your teeth are gone?"

Ding Wei looked at his resentful appearance and couldn't help but say, "What kind of sea are you out of?" The four-pillar inventory you learned from the old man is not yet ripe, so you want to go to sea? Didn't you say that you should combine Cai Ji's bookkeeping method with the four-column inventory of the three divisions to make a more convenient bookkeeping method yourself? This is going to sea again? How can a man like you do a good job in the dispatch of officials? ”

Cai Boli was obviously grabbed by Ding Wei, pouting and sulking on the side.

After Zhao Zhen officially conferred the official title on the Taliban, he sent him and Ding Wei away.

Zhao Zhen took Cai Boyu to stroll in the palace: "Why are you so anxious?" If you are allowed to go to sea, Miao Yuan will not run to my main hall every day to cry his nose? Don't forget that I'm getting married next year, and then it's your turn to get married to Miao Yuan! ”

Cai Boyu raised his head and said, "Then I can go to sea after marrying Miao Yuan, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, you must have a child before you can go to sea, otherwise who will distract Miaoyuan?" ”

"The official family has a good plan!"

"Ahem, this is not a strategy, it is for your old Cai family to stay, in case you encounter a dragon absorbing water or something and feeding the shark, I can give Miaoyuan an explanation......"

Cai Boli rolled his eyes: "How can there be such an emperor who curses his subordinates...... Don't slap your face, I'll ask to see the princess later, don't you want the princess to see the big green bag on my face? ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand angrily: "Get out, get out, get out ......"

Cai Boyu trotted all the way away and turned back, and Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "When else, do you really want to fight?" ”

Cai Boyu put away the smile on his face and became serious: "The minister heard a news that he shouldn't have heard, you actually and Concubine Yang...... This thing...... I'm afraid it's not going to be easy! ”

Zhao Zhen's face changed: "Who did you listen to?" ”

Cai Boyan shook his head: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, the black hand knows it, is Wang Yuyan still far away?" We have a way to deal with foreign ministers, but I really can't deal with Wang Yuyan. ”

Zhao Zhen was speechless by his words, yes! There are ways to deal with foreign ministers, but how to explain to Wang Yuyan is a headache.

"What do you have to do with the minister?"

"This is simple, doesn't it mean that there is a palace maid who looks very similar to Concubine Yang? She has always been a stand-in for the concubine, as long as she changes her identity, and when the time comes, she will be imprisoned in the palace......"

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Cai Boyu was similar to what he thought: "This method is good." ”

"The official family should be careful of Concubine Yang, after all, she is a member of the party."

"You don't have to worry about this, I not only get her people and heart, but also use her to confuse the party and Li Deming! The party's land must be returned to the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise who will give us horses? Relying on imports alone, it would be good to have twenty out of a hundred horses reach the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Cai Boyu nodded and left, he didn't expect that the official family would not only want to possess Concubine Yang, but even use the last value of her, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a sentence: the most ruthless emperor family.

It's not that Zhao Zhen is ruthless, but as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he can't help himself, sometimes he wants to be selfish and unscrupulous for the country, the emperor is like this, he must be ruthless when he should be ruthless, and he must not be ambiguous when he should be affectionate and righteous.

Whenever Zhao Zhen thought about whether he should use Yang Caiwei, he remembered his father's words: "Killing decisively is the way of the emperor, but how to use it is a question worth thinking about for a lifetime." ”

Oh, yes!

Daddy's words are right, how to become a decisive king without being controlled by the way of killing?

Where is the balance between a single husband and a love for the world?

This is a question that an emperor should think about for a long time.
