Winter turned to spring, the cold snap in Siberia did not make the people of Tokyo change their habits, and the ministers of the court still rode to the courtyard at midnight, and the air dead wind lamps on the carriage continued to shake with the cold wind.

The morning market has begun, the noise of the South Gate Street and the shouting of the men woke up many people who plan to get up early, and the vendors selling noodle soup are still walking through the streets and alleys with vigorous steps, speaking auspicious words from time to time, but the head of the original time has disappeared, and has become the official of Kaifeng Mansion.

What is the weather, how much is the price of food, which soup cake is the best, which one has the most exquisite silk, which one has the most beautiful ready-to-wear, and so on, all of which have become the responsibility of the time officer, and the shopkeeper of the store has found this business opportunity for advertising?

The courtiers waited for the court meeting refreshed after using the mutton steamed buns in the waiting courtyard.

Today's waiting for leakage is different from the past, Cai Boyu, the freshly baked horse captain, actually went to court, Ding Wei looked at him with a smile, like an old cat who was looking at a mouse: "Cai boy, why did you go to court today?" In the past, I saw the old man and couldn't wait to walk with his tail between his legs! ”

Cai Boyu finished eating the last piece of steamed bun in the bowl, and said with a shy face: "Where is Ding Xianggong, the kid treats you as a gentleman like a prince, you have the heart to mention the kid, how can you avoid it if you are too late to be happy?" In the future, when you are free, the boy will come to the door to ask for advice! ”

Cai Boyu's words surprised Ding Wei, did this kid change his temper? In the past, he was reluctant to worship himself as a teacher, but now he has become so easy to speak?

Wang Zeng smiled and said: "Yes, Cai Xiaozi has become enlightened now, the so-called study of financial planning in the Great Song Dynasty is unsurpassed except for the official family, it is good to learn more, the official family must have explained something to you, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Zeng said a word, Cai Boyu smiled embarrassedly: "Wang Xianggong is smart and clear-sighted, this is all seen by you, the official family ordered me to learn from Ding Xianggong, the kid is a horse captain, he can't be a military general, and he can't stand the literary resources, he can only make achievements in the way of business, and this time the court is asking for an order." ”

Xia Zhu, who had already gotten the news, glanced at Cai Boyu and said with a smile: "This time to envoy the Japanese country, you are in charge of business, and the old man is in charge, if you don't love yourself, don't blame the old man for not reminding you!" ”

Cai Boyu nodded again and again: "That's that, the kid doesn't have that brain, but sometimes he has to mention Xia Shenzheng more!" ”

Xia Zhu nodded slightly: "As long as it is the will of the official family, the old man will definitely help you, the country is barbaric and vulgar, but you don't have to care too much about etiquette." ”

I heard that this envoy to the Wa Kingdom was to promote the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and also to develop trade routes in the Wa Kingdom, but the Wa Kingdom has always been poor, and often exceeded the etiquette law, which made the courtiers not have much good impression of the Wa State, so they did not understand the meaning of the envoy.

But Xia Zhu is a smart man, he must have a demon when something goes wrong, he entered the palace after getting the news yesterday, he didn't expect the official family to plan to obtain silver through trade, and what he didn't expect was that there was so much silver in the country!

Although silver was not a currency in circulation in the Great Song Dynasty, its value was still recognized by the world, and it was often used for large-scale transactions in daily life.

It's just that this kind of silver collar can't be used in normal trading, if you want to use it, you still need to go to the government to exchange it for copper coins, and the scattered silver taels have to pay for fire.

Even so, the silver of the Great Song Dynasty was also lacking, otherwise it would not have restricted the people from buying and selling with silver.

After Zhao Zhen's explanation, Xia Zhu knew that the original Wa Kingdom was an inexhaustible silver mine! The goods of the Great Song Dynasty were undoubtedly the most luxurious things in the Wa Kingdom, and as long as a large number of export goods could be exchanged for endless silver!

The silver of the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom is not equivalent, and the money has always been exchanged for one tael of silver in the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be exchanged for five taels in the Wa Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Xia Zhu couldn't help but have two eyes shining, many merchants of the Great Song Dynasty would transport copper coins to the Wa Kingdom to exchange silver, and then return to the Great Song Dynasty to exchange silver for copper coins, such a trade forced a large number of copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty to flow to other countries, and also made the domestic copper coins less and less, it seems that the official family wanted to "move" the silver of the Wa Kingdom to the Great Song Dynasty through the export of goods.

Gui Biao in the courtyard of Funing Palace pointed straight to the second hour, and the third person looked at the hall and was a little anxious, and there were still three minutes to go to the court, and the official family had not gotten up yet, which was not like the previous style of the official family.

Thinking of what happened yesterday evening, Sancai smiled bitterly and sighed: "Eh! This man is different from us, even if he works hard during the day, he still has internal affairs at night! ”

"Great official, the official family and the two of you were happy last night, and they didn't go to bed until ...... hour."

Sancai interrupted the words of the little chamberlain: "This is not something you should remember, it is your duty to knock on Mingxia to remind the official family!" ”

The little chamberlain nodded in response, knocked on Mingxia, and the crisp sound was transmitted to the main hall of Funing Palace like a phoenix.

Zhao Zhen woke up leisurely, he was really tired last night, the two little goblins almost let him run away, it seems that no matter how much he replenishes his body, he must control his desires, he looked down at his chest, and the two little lazy cats seemed to be beauties sleeping soundly.

Helplessly smiled bitterly: "Why bother!" ”

Zhao Zhen's actions woke up Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei, the crisp sound of Mingxia sounded, and the two looked at each other and got up to dress Zhao Zhen......

Looking at the two beauties like lambs Zhao Zhen was on fire for a while, no wonder the ancient emperors were so lustful, the fragrance in the palace even if they were dressed and washed made people horny, there were only Zhao Zhen and the two girls in the hall, this is the rule, the chamberlains and palace maids can not go in and out at will, even if it is a trivial matter of dressing and washing, the queen and concubine must serve by themselves.

Kneading the chests of the two beauties, Zhao Zhen left quickly, there was a delay today, and the ministers in the court were afraid that they were waiting for a hurry.

In Sancai's sharp voice, the court meeting officially began, for Xia Zhu's envoy to the Wa State, Cai Boyu opened a trade route, the courtiers have no objection, anyway, it is to make money, as long as the Great Song Dynasty makes money, then there is nothing to say, not to mention that the envoys of the Wa State have long asked the Great Song Dynasty to trade, which also shows that the Great Song Dynasty's leniency is not?

When the court meeting was about to end, the inner attendant outside the hall went to the hall and said: "Qi Guan's family, the Taliban, the envoy of the Great Food, asks to see you!" ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up instantly, he didn't expect the Taliban to come back, this is something that has been waiting for a long time: "Announce his audience!" ”

The Taliban, dressed in official uniforms, saluted respectfully in the mocking expressions of the courtiers: "Minister, give the Taliban a a look at Your Majesty!" ”

"Pingshen, Taliban, you are the envoy to Abbas with the friendship of the Great Song Dynasty, how about what I explained to you?"

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, the Taliban's eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement: "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to live up to his life, the monarch of the Abbasid dynasty Kadir presents his credentials, wishing the Great Song Dynasty and the Abbasid dynasty to prosper together!" The minister returned not only with a letter of state, but also many techniques of the Abbasid dynasty, the forging of Damascus steel, the forging of domes, etc., as well as fifty good horses, all of which are Bedouin treasures! ”

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists excitedly, but the surface was light: "Thank you for your hard work, how does Kadir evaluate the products of my Da Song this time?" ”

In the surprise of the courtiers, the Taliban proudly said: "The porcelain, silk, and tea of the Great Song Dynasty have made a total of one hundred and twenty boxes of gold coins, eighty boxes of jewelry, and incalculable silver!" ”

After saying that, the Taliban glanced at Sancai, Sancai waved his hand, and a group of guards from the Guards Department moved their belongings into the main hall.

Wow......

A chest was inadvertently knocked over, and gold coins flowed out like water, glittering in the sunlight and piercing people's eyes......

The courtiers were stunned as they looked at the mountain of boxes in the main hall, and from the open cracks of the boxes, countless pearls, precious stones, agate, and jadeite caused everyone to swallow their mouths.

These things in front of me are actually exchanged for porcelain, silk, tea and other things!

Everyone stared at the hill-like box and couldn't speak, they were so shocked, they didn't expect that the most sparse and ordinary things on weekdays were so valuable overseas, and overseas gold, silver and jewelry were everywhere, otherwise how could there be so many?

Zhao Zhen looked at all this with a smile, his goal was finally achieved, and he saw who could stop Da Song's ocean plan in the future! This money is enough to make the merchant lose his mind, and even the sea is full of difficulties, and even the cowardly can become a warrior who stands up to the sky......
