Chapter 205: Unequal Treaties

Cao Lu was still thinking about the direction of the matter within the controllable range he expected, and the money that the queen used to celebrate King Yong's birthday was all the money he spent to buy grain, and the shopkeeper said: "Now we will wait for the little food on the east road to be exhausted." It's funny to see how funny Bao Zheng looks like he can't do anything. ”

"He thinks that everything is under his control, and it is not omnipotent for me to let him only take the minister."

Bao Zheng was also conspiring, Zhang Tangqing said: "My lord, there are places in Gwangju where there are already riots, and the people have good deeds to encourage them to make trouble, and the people are ignorant, and it is not good to see the wind and rudder, and the wind will spread to the emperor." ”

"Tell the prefect below, tell them to pacify the people everywhere, we will have a large amount of grain in three days, in addition to the Cao family, there are also a few black-hearted grain merchants who want to make money in the country, I want them to be unable to turn over at one time."

Zhang Tangqing said: "Where does the confidence of adults come from, we have been in Lianghuai for almost a month, and I haven't seen who you have contacted!" It's hard to say that you can still conjure it out of thin air. ”

Bao Zheng said: "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, now it depends on who is better, don't worry, a good show has to be played by everyone to be perfect, and the one-man show is not interesting." ”

The people make trouble and gather people, this is all to give the lawbreakers a chance, how can Bao Zheng not be in a hurry, if there is no secret letter from the emperor, he will really give in to Cao Lu for the sake of the people, so that their plan will succeed, I hope the emperor's letter is not a joke.

Lu Zifei, the capital of Bagan, took Pei Peipei, Cao Feng and others to wander on the street, and when they saw them, the people of Bagan would kneel down and dare not look at them, Nanxing asked curiously: "Brother, why do they kneel down."

Tengbo said: "They are all untouchables, they treat us as the nobles of Bagan, the hierarchy here is very strict, and if someone violates it, they will be dragged to hanging, which is not bad, and in some places the nobles go out, and the untouchables are not allowed to go out." ”

Pei Peipei said: "That's not letting people live, how can there be such strange regulations." ”

Lu Zifei said with a normal face: "The Great Song Dynasty also came over like this, and now it is better, the emperor still isolates the crowd when he travels, which is different in disguise, and in the eyes of the scholars, the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty are like these people." ”

"Then I also prefer Da Song, how can I say it? It feels different! ”

Lu Zifei said: "This is the inevitable result, the Han culture has been progressing in a few periods, this is the ancestors in exchange for their lives, the gradual improvement of the law, the emancipation of human nature, these are all precipitated by time, and they have only been enlightened for a few years." ”

Pei Peipei, who was discussing these things with Lu Zifei, was definitely not in this ranks, she looked at the emerald green things on many women's necks and wrists and asked, "What beautiful jewelry, I don't know where they bought it." ”

"The jade they brought with them is the jade I told you on the road."

"How could jade be like this? Green jade, which looks beautiful, women are not immune to these. ”

Lu Zifei said: "It belongs to the same variety of jade as our Lantian jade and Hetian jade, and there are also a lot of jadeite in the Great Song Dynasty, but this thing was introduced to the Great Song Dynasty from Chengdu Mansion and Dali, and it is relatively rare in the mainland." ”

Pei Peipei said: "Then let's go find one!" See if there's anything for sale. ”

This important task was handed over to Teng Bo, and he found a jewelry store selling jadeite in the rich area of Bagan City with great effort, Lu Zifei went in to see a lot of good jadeite, but their craftsmanship was too rough, the dragon was carved into a fat worm by them, and the unicorn became a soil dog, Lu Zifei looked at the ice species of jadeite, Pei Peipei and Nanxing were very interested, and kept asking Teng Bo to help them ask the price.

Cao Feng and Huang Shuangming are not interested at all, and they are not mothers-in-law, what are they doing to buy this fancy thing, Pei Peipei said to Lu Zifei regretfully: "They only need local currency and do not recognize the money of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "That's because you are too kind to him, you are a little fierce, he would have given you the jade a long time ago, and you used you to talk to him so hard, look at me, Teng Bo, you tell him to let him pack all the things in the store for me." ”

After Teng Bo finished translating, the guard pulled out the knife in his hand with a tacit understanding, and the shopkeeper began to pretend without saying a word, and Jiang Xituo came before he finished loading, and after listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Jiang Xituo said to his subordinates: "Pack up all the good things for Childe, and get out the good things hidden in him, and the things that Childe likes can allow him to talk." ”

The people of the Song Dynasty looked at Jiang Xituo more directly than Lu Zifei and solved the problem roughly, thinking that this is okay! Can you try it in other stores by yourself, Lu Zifei silently watched Jiang Xituo's performance.

"Childe, are these enough? If not enough, I know a few places with greenstone. ”

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "This is not enough, I want a lot of money." ”

Jiang Xituo said: "Our nobles in Bagan do not use green stone for jewelry, if the prince wants, the people of this Bagan country can be the son's." He was fed up with the days of fear, he thought this was an opportunity, Lu Zifei never showed desire, so he was a little uncertain.

"Good! Then I'll ask you all the greenstones in Bagan. ”

Jiang Xituo said: "Is Childe serious? ”

Lu Zifei said affirmatively: "Seriously, the price I will pay for you is this, you help me mine the ore, we will transport it back by ourselves, and I will pay the cost of mining." ”

Jiang Xituo was excited and didn't know what to say, the green stone can't be eaten or drunk, and it is an ornament when it is placed there, which can be exchanged for a deal that he can climb to the throne and guarantee no loss.

"How can you let Gongzi pay for mining, there are tens of thousands of prisoners in the Bagan prison, and I don't know how many slaves there are in my family, if it happens, the mining will also be handed over to me, and Gongzi will just transport it back when the time comes."

Lu Zifei smiled: "You are so sincere, I will let you get your wish today." ”

Jiang Xituo said: "Is this good, isn't the prince going to enter the palace today?" The palace is heavily guarded, and we don't have a chance. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Why is it in the palace, I am the envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom, he is just a small lord, shouldn't he come to accept my canonization?" On our big ship, you take your enemies with you, and I will help you solve them together. ”

Jiang Xituo left with a dream, and Cao Feng said: "The rewards we get for helping him are not proportional to the risks we take. ”

"How do you know that it is not proportional, fighting a war is not the best way to solve things, and it is called winning if you can get the greatest benefit without harming our interests, how many people can really enter the battle in our three ships now?"

"Six hundred"

"Six hundred? Then you have to subtract the two hundred people who stayed on the ship to control the octagonal crossbow, and there are four hundred left, we are well-armed and equipped, and there are secret weapons, do you think 10,000 people can level us, 10,000 people are not enough for 40,000 people. ”

Cao Feng said in a small voice: "We still have three warships!" If we can't beat it, we can run! ”

Lu Zifei said angrily: "Have you thought about the lives of the six hundred people you led, this river is worthy of three warships, even if it is difficult to turn around, on the chassis of others, these three huge targets cannot escape, Bagan is not a small country." ”

Huang Shuangming asked, "If we help him kill Anuradha and what if he pretends to kill Yu and secretly puts cold arrows on us behind Chen Cang's back?" ”

Lu Zifei nodded and said: "It's not that this possibility doesn't exist, but if we don't lead our troops to attack the city, there will be no big problem, and we have to guard against him, Jiang Xituo is not a member of the royal family, he needs our canonization to ascend to the throne in a proper manner, and his first enemy is not us, but the relatives and nobles who support the Bagan royal family." ”

The hot sun is disgusting, and the forbidden army sent by Zhao Zhen is still required to support the faΓ§ade, wearing dazzling bright light armor, organizing a big military parade, they are the national flag class, burly, with wide shoulders and round waist, and they look like goods.

At noon, Anuruda was dressed in a costume with several rings on his ears and nose, and came with the crown prince and his ministers, and Han Jiang in the cabin said, "This is not the Bull Demon King", Huang Shuangming sighed.

Lu Zifei was wearing his knight's suit, he really didn't take it, this set was made by Pei Peipei temporarily, it was gorgeous and abnormal, with three layers of silk inside and three layers outside, and next to it was Cao Feng's decent armor and sword standing aside.

When Anuryutuo saw Lu Zifei, he admired in his heart and said What a handsome young man, this kind of temperament cannot be cultivated in a foreign country like them, Teng Bo stopped them and said: "I can only bring two people on the boat."

Jiang Xituo said to Anuradha : "This messenger of the Great Song Dynasty said that only you will be canonized, and the others are not qualified to witness. ”

The arrogant Anuradha didn't think much about it, and took the crown prince Sulu and Jiang Xituo to board the battleship, and the rebels instantly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were afraid that Anuradha would not get on the ship, and it would be difficult for you to fly when you got on the boat.

Lu Zifei picked up the false decree on the incense case and read: "The king of Bagan, Anuradha Anuradha perversely, abused the people, and brutalized the loyal and good, and now the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Zifei, gave Anuradha the death penalty with peace." ”

Teng Bo translated this passage to Anurada with a smile on his face, Anuruta pulled out his saber and pointed at Jiang Xituo and said something, Teng Bo said: "He was asking Jiang Xituo what was going on, whether it was his conspiracy, and killed him immediately without explanation." ”

Lu Zifei said to Cao Feng: "Kill them, the prince is also here, just buy one get one free, I don't want to say anything to him if I don't understand words." ”

Anuradha is older, Jiang Xituo is a young man in his thirties, his reaction speed is completely different, Jiang Xituo's body is a piece, Anurada's knife fell into the air, and in an instant, Anuradha father and son who were shot by hundreds of arrows could not see the human form.

Jiang Xituo shouted loudly: "The crown prince Su Lu intended to rebel, and he was shot by the envoy of the heavenly kingdom, and His Majesty was accidentally killed by an arrow. ”
